FARRELL BEFORE STEEL QUIZ
Admits V. S. Corporation Sells Rails
Lower in Foreign Countries
Than at Home.

Washington, Jan. 23.-James f.
Farrell, president of the United States
Steel corporation, appeared before the
Stanley committee and, after consid
cradle argument, finally agreed to ex-
hibit to the committees expert &C
countant the cost sheets Of the cor
poration.
Mr.. Farrell was forced to admit that
the corporation sells rails abroad at
lower rates than those charged at
home. He also declared that the de-
structive competition warfare now be-
ing waged is certain to bring many
steel concerns perilously near to
bankruptcy. AS to government regu-
lation of rates he contended that this
would be impracticable and suggested
as an alternative federal incorpora-
ton under supervision Of a commits
sion with power to enforce "reasona-
BILE" rates.

THE HELP OF INTERUReANs.

Cedar Rapids Republican The
Mt Vernon Hawkeye has been max,
ing some investigations of the effects
OF interurbans on smaller cities and
towns and it finds that they are all
together helpful and not injurious. 1t
made its Investigations along the line
OF the Iowa City road. 1t found moth.
ing but pastures and woods had been
before the coming of the road. North
Liberty has been rejuvenated and
Swisher has been created by the in
tcrurb2n.
That is the right estimate to place
on an interurban. 1t is not only a
town builder, but it is a country
builder. Ten or twenty dollars an acre
has been added to every acre OF land
that lies within reach of the interur
ban In short, the Iowa City line has
been a blessing TO everyone it has
touched with its influence. The idea
that either town or country can be
worthless, as a theory, that it is no
longer entertained by any sensible
man. The more communication there
is between peoples the better for all
of them.
We have been a bit slow in Iowa in
the building of such lines and to that
extent We have suffered in population,
as compared with other states, but We
shall get the roads after awhile, even
if we are a little slow about them at
the present time. In Col. Dows and
Mr.. Smith and their business assO.
ciates in this city We have men of en-
terprise and men who believe in Iowa.
We should all get back of them and
stay back of them all the time. 1t
will be worth while for all the people
OF eastern Iowa"

A NEW IONA IDEA.

Cooperation of all banks rather
than dominant Capitalization, prOtec-
ton of the credit system of the coun-
try from the domination of any group
of financial or political interests, and
the independence OF the individual
banks, national and state, are the
chief principles of the movement for
monetary reform now being promOt-
ed by prominent business men of
Iowa and who have formed the Iowa
State Branch of the National Citi-
zen's League, with Robert J. Flem-
ing of Des Moines, as its head.
Among the other principles advo-
Gated by the league are provision for
making liquid the sound commercial
paper of all the banks either credits
or bank notes being redeemable in
gild or lawful money: elasticity of
currency and credit in times of seas
onal demands and stringencies, with
protection against Over-eXpansion |.
and legalizatiOn of acceptance of
time bills OF exchange to create a
discount market at home and abroad.
The league also urges an organization
of better banking facilities with other
countries for the expansion of foreign
trade

PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES.

The announcement by Senator Cum
Minis that he is a candidate for the
presidential nomination is no sur.
prise to anyone who has been watch.
ing the weather cock during the long
drawn out political storm. And the
announcement puts the republicans
of Iowa up against the real thing.
The democrats have not had so
much hope in national politics since
1892. From all indications, Presi-
dent Taft is as sure of the nomina
ton as anything political can be sure.
To again open the old Cummins de-
mand for control OF Iowa will endan.
ger several congressional districts in
the state, and so far as can be seen
will do no good.
Senator Cummins favorite speech,
in which he denounced harmony can.
not be forgotten in Iowa. 1t is i'm
possible for him to unite the party,
and it would seem to have been a bet
ter way for him to hold aloof at
this time, and give the party breath
ing spell, and chance to again unite.
He has a good office and will hold it
for at least three years more.
His candidacy this year is hopeless,
and his control of the state would
place Iowa in the embarrassing posi-
ton of protesting against the pres.
ent administration.
Iowa We believe is for Taft and it is
a poor time TO let a 'favOrite son"
movement be used to do something
that the Republicans of Iowa do not
want

SING A HOME SONG.

Let us sing a home-song, hush the
songs of war;
Sing the melting melody our hearts
are longing for
Let the falser ballads into stiffness
die,
Coarse and crude of cadence, lifting
with a lie.
Let them be forgotten-sing of trees
and loan.
Sing of bees and blossoms, sing a
song of home.
y"
Ho, we'll sing a home-song; sing it
softly, so,
While the dying embers fling a gen
tie glow,
Wen sit close together, clinging hand
TO hand,
Murmuring the measures home-hearts
understand.
Chanting words that whisper over
land and foam,
While the twilight folds us-sing a
song of home.
Thus We make a home-song; OF the
rose and rue,
OF the snow hid meadows, clover
rinsed in dew,
Pathways through the pastures, COWS
beside the bars,
Silver CLINT of dawnings wonder-ight
of stars.
Blent into a longing everywhere we
Breathe them in a chorus; sing a
song of home.
Come and sing a home-song; sing 1t
low and sweet
Till its marvel measures halt the
truant feet
Hand in hand together in the creep
ing dusk,
Sing of nodding flowers, sing OF fall
sg ing husk,
And the roof that shields US messed
from caves to comb
Time il to our heart beats-sing a
song Of home. 90 -.
