Federal Supreme Court Renders RuI-
ing Which Is of Far-Reaching
Effect.

Complete control of all the railroads
of the country by the interstate COM
merce commission and virtual elimina-
ton of the state commission from such
control are foreshadowed in an opin-
ion handed down by the Supreme
court of the United States. The court
held that hereafter all locomotives,
cars or other equipment used on any
railroad which is a highway of inter
state commerce must comply with the
federal safety appliance act.
Members of the interstate COM
merce commission, who have been en-
barrassed on numerous occasions by
clashes of authority with state com
missions, are jubilant at the ruling of
the Supreme court, which was .unani.

LINCOLN AND FISCUS

Before this paper goes to print next
week the great complicated political
campaign of 1912 will probably be a
part of history either Bill. Woodrow or
Theodore will then possibly be wearing
the crown. In the past man usually
voted a certain ticket because father
happened to vote that way. People
are rapidly changing their ideas these
days and are voting more independent
and more for character and principle.
/ hope the day will soon arrive when
every voter will be compelled to repeat
the main policies of each political party,
before going into voting booth. The
threadbare excuse of heing democrat,
because father always was, is getting
very ancient and is fast giving way to
more substantial reasons. If politics
were eliminated from county offices,
and the candidates would run as indi-
viduals and not a part of a political
machine it would be a blessing. Many
a good man is defeated throughout the
state of Iowa every election because he
happens to belong to the minority party
of that respective county In Audubon,
Cass and Guthrie counties republican
is almost sure of election while in
Shelby, Crawford and Carroll demo
crat usually has walk away. Politi-
cal rings or bosses are almost sure to
originate in counties where certain
political party has to much of a majority
and corruption is almost sure to follow.
November 9Th the ballots will tell the
tale and regardless of who is elected
president, The world will roll on just
the same.
