Iowa City.-Sigourney is the imme-
d4ate objective point of the incorpor-
ators of the Iowa Construction COM
pany, the new interurban company
formed to build a line between Iowa
City and Ottumwa, which asks fran
chise of Iowa City, to be voted on at
the general election in November.
From Iowa City to Sigourney the line
crosses country untapped by any
railroad. From Sigourney to Ottum-
wa it would parallel the, Milwaukee.
The construction of this line, it is
said, depends almost wholly upon the
farmers and residents of towns along
the road. The old company, organic
ed two years ago, ran up against the
Iowa law which forbids bonding inter-
urbans for more than $4,000 q mile.
The company; had been at work for
year before this law was discovered.
Interurban men all over the state
claim that it is a piece OF reform"
legislation put through in the inter-
ests of the steam road, but it is on
the statute books, and it knocked out
the Iowa City-Ottumwa company.
This law has compelled the adop-
ton of new plan. The promoters
Of the road claim they have arranged
to bond the line from Iowa City to
Sigourney for $4,000 Ia mile. All
cost above that amount will have to
be met In another manner. This will
consist OF the granting of franchises,

TARIFF AND LIVING COST
Consumers Are Forced to Pay Fully
Two Thousand Million Dollars
Yearly to Trusts.

Byron W. Holt, recognized author
ity on economics. estimates that the
tarin-trust tax on the people OF this
country amounts to $10S per family
per year.
These figures have never been sue
cessfully challenged. II they are cor
rect they mean that the consumers
of the United States are forced by the
tariff to pay fully two thousand mil.
lion dollars per year to trusts.
In the debates in congress some
what smaller figure is given. There
the total cost of the tariff is fixed at
about two billions OF dollars per year,
of which the government gets a little
over $500, 100000.
This leaves the tarin-trust tax on
the people at the modest figure of
$1.70O, 100000 per year!
This is almost twice the amount Of
the Franco-Prussian war indemnity.
They extort from the people of the
United States every year a sum near
ly twice as great as that which was
levied on France. by Germany at the
close of bitter and successful war.
Every dollar added to the Golfers OF
the trusts is paid by an increase In
the cost OF living.
The only way to abolish the trust
tax Is to give Governor Wilson and
the Democratic party a commission
to revise the tariff.
