The rumorl generally in circulation
that sixty. -four nominees for the Iowa
legislature are attorneys associated in
one wav and another with railroad cor
porations that are making efforts to
break into the law making department
of the state, suggests that the rail-
roads are making a determined at.
tempt to amend or repeal existing
laws not to their liking. 1t perhaps
would be good idea to investigate
this rumor and ascertain the identity
of these alleged legal corporation tools.
1t is probable that an investigation of
the rumor will disclose that nearly all,
if not all, of these corporation boos
ters are nominees of the republican
party.

A Home Endorsement.

We are taking opportunity to call
attention to the candidacy of fellow
townsman, Mr.. G. A. Meyer, candidate
for Congress. Two years ago Mr..
Meyer called at our Office and asked
that we refrain from mentioning him
on the plea that the home people know
him and might misunderstood the
motives that prompted publicity of his
campaign
In the thirty odd years of his residence
here, MIR. Meyer has always shown in
theory and practice the very best attri.
butes that go with good citizenship.
No movement for public welfare has
ever lacked his support and no private
business ever took precedence over his
duty rs public official. With his
ability, attainments and experience, he
might have in financial way succeeded
much above his present modest means.
While his success as a farmer and bust.
ness man has been oil that could be
desired, and has brought with it that
most valuable asset, the good will of
the entire community, bis aim has been
towards public service and we feel safe
in saying that no one in the capacity Of
county official has eyer outstripped
him in zeal or the results he obtained
while acting for the County. Not salts.
fed with the discharge of mandatory
duties of his Office, be spent consider
able time attending the last two sessions
of the legislature, urging consideration
of important matters relating to the
welfare of his section of the state.
His home folks and the best citizens
of Winneshiek County have every con-
fidence that he fully measures up to
the requirements of the office to which
he aspires, knowing that his ability as
an intelligent observer of passing
events will enable him to give good
account of his stewardship, should he
be successful in the Congressional con-
test. Whatever the outcome of the
strenuous campaign he has undertaken,
we know that success will not increase
the size of his hat band, nor defeat
cool the ardor of his desire to serve his
fellow man in the broadcast and most
efficient sense it is possible to serve

Hermann Kull, the democratic nomi.
nee for the state senate in the Whine.
shiek- Howard district, is going to carry
Howard comfy by good majority.
The people of Howard county believe
that the republican senatorial nomina-
ton belonged to Howard county this
year by the custom followed since the
organization Of the district, with the
exception of the time when Whine.
shiek was given two successive repub.
lican nominees in DR.. F. w. Daubney
and attorney E. p. Johnson.
They believe that q comparison of
the records Of Herman Kull and L. M.
Enger as state representative shows
without doubt that Mr.. Kull would
give the people of the district the bet
ter service. They know he would
stand for more careful expenditure Of
the peoples money than the legisla-
ture has been practicing lately. They
are aware that Mr.. Enger was not
even present to say either Eyes" or
''no" when the big $4,000 600 capitol
extension extravaganza was passed in
the house. Mr. Kull was member Of
subcommittee of the house of repre-.
sentatives and was active in killing q
similar capitol extension scheme seve-
raj years before. Deborah Journal.
Z The bill above referred to which Mr..
Kull was instrumental in killing was
House File No: 246, introduced in the
SSrd G. A., entitled "a bill for an act
creating commission to procure adj
ditional grounds adjacent to the CAPT.
toll the erection of additional
state buildings, and for an appropri.
alton therefor. /" The reasons alleged in
the bill was that additional grounds
are required for the state capitol, SOL
dier's monument and state heating
plant, and as necessary sites for ad-
ditional buildings" The bill provided
that not to exceed $4,000 be used to
purchase real estate, and a building
adequate for an armorv and Office and
storage rooms for the Adjutant GEN
eral, Agricultural Department, Board
of Control, State Board of Health,
Food and Dairy Commissie ner, Geo.
logical Survey, Horticultural Society,
State Veterinary Surgeon, etc., at a
cost not to exceed $780, 900. The read
er will notice that this bill proposed to
do all that it is claimed is now neces-
sary in the way of heating plant ana
Office rooms, and at cost, not of
So, 600, 900 for starter, but limited to
$3.50, 600.
But even this expenditure the Gen.
eral Assembly of the year 1909 deemed
unnecessary and Mr.. Kull was the
sole Democratic member of subcom-
mittee of the appropriations committee
which UNANIMOUSLY REJECTED
the proposed bill. Mr.. Kull was
VOTING FOR the interests of the
people back home.
If this expenditure of $3.50, 1000 was
unnecessary in 1909, why was one of
$1,000, 600 SO imperative in 1918, only
four years later?
Doesn't it look as though the farmers
and taxpayers Of this Senatorial dis
trict really need man like Mr.. Kull to
look after their interests at
Des Moines?

STAFF OFFICERS HAVE
TO READJUST PLANS
AS TO TOUR ON OAHU

A number of staff officers of the
army are much disappointed at the
recent ruling of the war department,
that four years is the regular tour of
duty in Hawaii. Officers Of the line
have become used to the idea, as
precedent has fixed the tour of the
mobile organizations at that length,
but those of the various staff corps
have counted on a return to the main
land after a three-year hitch" on
Oahu, and they are disappointed at
having to re-make plans, and read
just ideas.
Captains Cutler and Demmer of the
medical corps were the first to feel
the weight of the new ruling, official
notification coming in the form of an
endorsement on the request of the de-
partment surgeon that orders be-
sued il their cases. Another Off
who was planning to return to q
states this summer is Lieutenant-eolo,

JOINT COMMITTEE ON
PROPOSED MERGER is
MEETING THIS P. NJ.

The members of the joint commit.
tee of the Chamber of Commerce and
the Merchants Association, recently
appointed to draft constitution and
set of bylaws to govern the organi-
posed merger of the two bodies and
which will be known as the Greater
Honolulu Chamber of Commerce, are
holding their initial meeting in the
rooms of the chamber this afternoon,
convening at O'Clock. The commit
tee is composed of F. c.. Atherton, G.
w. Smith, E. A. Mott-Smith, J. F. G.
Hagens and Norman Watkins, repre-
senting the Chamber of Commerce,
and S. S. Paxson, E. A. Berndt, NJ. M.
Johnson, C. r. Frazier and w. H. Nc
Inerny, representing the Merchants
Association. II. P. Wood is secretary
of the committee.
Since it's appointment, considerable
time has been spent by the commit.
tee in making arrangements for a
new constitution and bylaws, and 1t
is expected that the meeting this
afternoon will result in some definite
action. More than a year ago, dur
ing the period when the matter of
consolidation was receiving consider
able impetus, joint committee was
appointed which, before being dis
charged, drew up a set of bylaws and
a constitution to govern the proposed
new organization. 1t is the plan of
the new committee to take both these
documents and go over them section
by section and make any changes
which it may see fit, or else decide to
frame new ones.
