Effort to Inject Politics.
There was strong effort made to
matters by something radical In regard
to appropriations by the legislature for
work by the railroad commission but
the resolutions adopted merely went to
the length of Recommendation to the
legislature for more money to secure a
physical valuation OF railroads In Iowa
and also for additional counsel and
expenses in the rate cases to be heard
next year. They are as follows:
Resolved, that the state of Iowa
pEONlue lldt competent cHSi-
neers and accountants be employed to-
look after the interests OF the people
of Iowa to the end that just, physi
cal valuation Of the railroads be made,
as the railroads have representatives
to look after their interests in the
valuations now being made; and we
believe that the interests of Iowa
should be equally we'll represented.
Resolved, that the state of Iowa
should Immediately provide the rail-
road commission with funds to employ
special help and to incur necessary
expense in the advance rate case now
before the interstate commerce COM
mission"
These resolutions were not opposed.
There was a resolution for long term
farm mortgage system, also an official
investigation into price fluctuations at
the livestock centers.
The resolutions also refer to the
work of the association in securing the
commerce counsel office and the vari-
Gus fights made for better rates.
During the day the association lis
tened to DIR. Gibson who explained the
situation as to livestock quarantine.
After his explanation the attitude Of
the association changed toward the
whole work. as 1t was admitted tho
members did not understand the atti-
tude of the state administration.
