The state Of Iowa picks up a good
many dollars because Of the watch
fulness of good officials in the state
service. An illustration of how it Is
done was given this week. The Iowa
Falls Creamery Company filed an
amendment to it's articles of incorpor-
alton charging the powers of the com
pany. Henry T. Saberson, corporation
clerk in the office Of secretary Of state,
referring back to the records found
that the company when incorporated
paid a fee of IS only when $25 should
have been collected, dozen years ago.
He called the attention Of the COM
pany to this fact and the additional
$40 was forwarded promptly. Just why
the full amount was not collected IN
the first place Is not explained. Mr..
Saberson estimates that since he has
na0 charge OF INe COTpOTallOu ICES AAS
has picked up at least $1,000 for the
state In ways similar to this.

Attorney r. L. WEIGH. Of Knoxville,
expects to be q candidate for the state
senate intthe district now represented
by Senator Clarkson, Of Abba. There
are two counties in the district and II
is due now for Marion county to have
the senator in rotation. Mr.. WEIGH
made a most favorable impression
among the members Of the legislature
at the last session by appearing before
that body to discuss the question of
public utilities commission. He gave
to the legislature by far the most in
telligent statement Of the essentials OF
law for public utilities commission
and was. one of the most effective
speakers in exposing the jokers that
were hid away in certain bills that
were strongly urged before the legis-
lature in the interest of public service
corporations. Mr.. WEIGH is city at
torney. Of Knoxville, a fine lawyer and
he has made a special study Of i'm
portant public questions. He will prob
ably have no opposition for the repub-
lican nomination.
