Dies Moines. Jan. 22-It now seems
almost certain that the question of
location Of the state epileptic colony
will be thrown open for further consid-
Grafton.
The report came to the state board
yesterday that the owners Of the farm
will not be able to comply with the re-
Quirements Of the state board which
were part of the offer made for the
farm. The price to be paid was all
understood in advance and there has
been no quibbling about that, and
neither can there be any doubt that the
Milwaukee railroad will construct a
station on the farm and maintain it
for the stopping Of all trains

But the state also required of the
owners that they secure a contract for
the extension of the interurban line
to the farm and trolley service and
that bond be put up to guarantee
this extension. But the interurban is
control the Des Moines street railway
lines; and seeing what advantage there
is to them In the play they have de-
clared they will make no promises
until somebody also agrees to see to it
that they get franchise in Des
:Moines. OF course there is no neces-
sary connection between the interur-
ban system and purely local fran
chise in Des Moines. but it affords the
company an excellent opportunity to
WELD a club over the Des Moines
people and make demands.
But the state is in no position to ac-
cept mere promises. Unless some-
body in position to do so is willing to
put up a guarantee the stuff is all off.
Not to Be BIuffsd.
The board Of control selected the
Flynn farm near Give solely because
it seemed to be by far the best bar
gain offered them, all things consid-
cred. The land is unquestionably as
good land as there Is In the state. The
old Flynn farm does contain some
poor land. which lies along the rail-
road tracks, and is rough. but the farm
has over 1.400 acres of which the
state is to get only 1880, If the deal
is contaminated. There is one stretch
Of over 600 acres of as fine farm land
as can be found anywhere in the state,
and practically every part of that
which it is proposed to purchase is
good for the state.
But unless the situation changes a
little there Is excellent chance for some
of the other seventy-five disappointed
communities in the state to finally land
the farm and then there will be only
seventy-four places kicking.

Railroad Commissioner to Be Sup

Formerly Opposed - Record OF Ae-

Special to Times-Republican.
Des Moines, Jan. %. Clifford
Thorne today secured blanks for NOM
nation papers as candidate to sue
coed himself on the board of railway
commissioners. His name Will be SUB
n1itted to the republican voters Of the
state for approval.
There will be larger body Of active
workers enlisted back of Mr.. Thorne
this time than two years ago. 1t Will
include, among others, the business
men Of the state, the shippers. manu-
facturers, jobbers, retailers and all who
have to do in any way with transport
tation matters. Prior 20 his going
on the board as a member his espe-
cial ability in matters pertaining to
rates was known chiefly among the
stock shippers because Of his wonder
full success in handling the cases for
the Corn Belt Meat Producers Associa-
ton, in which was made The first big
break in the rate stone wall which
long ago was built around Iowa. Now,
because Of many other rate cases, the
value of such an earnest and enthus-
iastc worker for Iowa is known of
many men.
In fact Clifford Thorne has attained
d national reputation and is rightly
regarded as the most aggressive geniNs
in rate and transportation matters in
the United States whose services are
at the command Of the people.
When the big rate cases now prac-
tically finished are finally concluded,
there will have been effected a COM
plete revolution in regard to the Iowa
situation as to rail rates. Whereas for
many years Iowa had been set off as a
sort Of reservation for rate exploita-
ton, and the rates had been SO ar
ranged that whether coming or going
the Iowan got the worst of it, now
Iowa is going to be put on parity with
the rest of the world as 10 rate mat
tiers. The full significance Of the
change will not be noticed for several
years, but in time it will be recog-
nized that a tremendous handicap has
been taken off the state.
1t is assumed there will be no opposi-
ton to the renomina ton of MIR. Thorne.
