THORNE AND CUMMINS.
KnnYyille Journal

The interstate commerce commission
has given advance information that it
will deny the appeal of the eastern
railroads for per cent increase in
freight rates but Will allow certain
specific advances upon certain classes
of freight. This does the three years
campaign to undermine the principle
OF rate control come to decisive de-
feat. The railroads have spent millions
of dollars to educate public sentiment
by the use of misleading garbled sta
tistics to the point Of tolerating the
proposed raid. That they failed to
convince the commission and the pub
lie is due to the splendid work of an
Iowa man-Cliford Thorne. AT the
end Of the hearings before the commits
sion, Mr.. Thorne stood practically
alone in opposition to the demand for
increased rates. Opposed to him were
the highest salaried lawyers, traffic
managers, rate experts and others of
a dozen powerful railroads and even
the noted lawyer employed by the
government to represent the people
Louis D. Brandeis. 1t was known that
President Wilson was eXerting pres
sure upon the commission to grant the
increase, thinking thereby to do some
thing to restore prosperity to the coun-
try The metropolitan press derided
Mr.. Thorne necessarily and pert para
graphers held him up to ridicule and
scorn. Yet he stood his ground man
fully and supplied such convincing and
lucid arguments that the commission
could do nothing but decide in his fav-
or. The decision is Of far-reaching I'M
pcrtance and will go far toward estab-
fishing the absolute authority and pur-
pose of the government to control rates
an object sought by the people OF this
nation for more than thirty years. And
in the end it was Senator A. 3.
Cummins, of Iowa, who gave the peo-
pie their first effective weapon with
which to fight-by placing the burden
Of proof upon the railroads to show
need Of an advance in rates before II
could be put III force and Clifford
Thorne, Of Iowa, who so effectively
presented the case Of the people that
the railroads were defeated in their
sweeping attack upon the principle
Of government control.

SPEAKING IN HASTE.

While the Carroll Herald believes
the muIct law to be the best practical
temperance measure in existence, it IS
not reconciled to the action of the re-
publican state convention on the
LIQUOR question. We believe" the
Herald explains, Sin the right of the
people to vote on the temperance ques-
ton. as on suffrage and other things.
II the party stands for anything. it
stands for freedom Of thought and ac-
ton. The spirit of the platform is OPP
posed TO both
The state of mind Of the Herald is
like the Dundreary conundrum. some
thing no ferah can find out" If the
nulct is the most practical temperance
measure in existence, why fuss over its
Endorsement unless opposed to practi-
cal temperance?
Perhaps as mere trap for votes
might have been indicated but the
votes thus caught would De those Of
the extreme radical who refuses to vote
with any party which does not declare
for immediate prohibition or of the
thoughtless and non-observant. It is
likely that seven republican legislators
out of ten would vote to resubmit.
There is nothing in the present repub-
lican platform or in the history of re-
publican legislatures which justifies a
republican paper. especially one pub
lished in Carroll, Iowa, in structure so
severe as the allegation that the spirit
of the platform Is opposed to freedom
Of thought and action. And this is the
more evident when the plank favoring
initiative and referendum sticks out Of
the platform like saloon sign on a
Carroll street.
1t is scarcely fair of the Herald. It
leads to the question whether or not
the Herald has ever advocated saloon
closing in it's own city, whether 1t has
led any fight with that purpose and to
speculation whether were a petition OF
consent and a remonstrance petition
to be circulated tomorrow in Carroll
the Herald would openly oppose the
one and as openly support the other
1t is easy to find fault and charge
all manner Of things. II IS not so easy
to substantiiate the charges. It is nat
ural to desire to begin reforms at the
top instead Of the bottom; but the

and sanitary az was possible In ita

SPEAKING OF ECONOMY"

The Boone News Republican con-
cludes that the people of Iowa are not
of a mind toward economy at the pres
ent time, observing in proof that the
capitol extension causes "a very little
ripple in politics." AS the Boone pa
too prosperous to bubble over q little
matter of s2.000.000. Besides every
farmer win soon possess an automobile
and will want TO drive to the state
house and see the new grounds"
The explanation of the Mr.. scarce
ly suffices. If there is any one who
will sooner quibble over useless ex-
pense or fuss about utterly indefensi-
Bile expenditure the Iowan is as likely
TO do it as any other man on earth. The
Iowa farmer will drive ten miles and
raise the roof at an expense OF $40
before he will permit any one to beat
him out of 10 cents. He will explain
his action by referring to the princi-
pie of the thing And in this capitol
extension case il is also the principle
Of the thing. The conclusion the peo-
pie of the state have arrived at is
that the capitol of the state of Iowa
should compare favorably with other
capitols in other states and that Iowa
can afford 10 make it so and should DO
It. II is a question of legitimate i'm
provement that appeals TO he farmer
who understands better than any other
the necessity and value Of keeping up
the farm and the buildings.
There's another element that enters
in. We are but beginning to realize
the prosperity of the past years Wnich
has made new state out Of Iowa. And
along with this realization has come
the newer understanding of public
duty. Economy" has taken on a new
meaning. We understand it to mean
in the cities money spent freely 10 I'M
prove water supplies and guard puo-
lie health, to pave streets and lay
sewers. to conserve and make the most
Of opportunity On the farms 1t IS
beginning TO mean money expended for
better roads, money spent in establish
ing and maintaining better schools,
building modern homes and time spent
socially. We are falling away from
that false economy which balances de-
yelopuent against pennies and begin
ming to understand that we are able to
buy what Is worth having.
True enough a rise in taxation brings
its inevitable outcury but it is an out
cry that dies away when the taxpayer
| sees that he had MS moneys worth.
one of the best signs of the times is
! that property is sensing its public re-
sponsibility. II is becoming more will
ing 10 pay for new school houses, for
public improvements Of all kinds and
realizing that wealth must pay its pro-
portion of such cost and that II ought
TO so pay of the Increment it has added
10 itself by reason of opportunity af-
forded by the public.
Economy and thrift are Iowa charac-
teristics. Iowa and Iowa people are
! economical They are still of q mind
| toward economy; but they are coming
TO the understanding that it is econ
! omical to use as well as to save money.

ALL FAVOR IT.

Washington County Press.]
We find the big leaders with Senator
Cummins at the head all in favor of
referendum to the people. The sena-
tor frankly told members Of the resoiu-
tons committee that there was no
argument against a re-submission to
the people in the face OF the over
whelming demand. Nearly all of the
editors of the big papers took the same
view and all of the timid ones who
took the other side conceded that the
overwhelming sentiment of the state is
in favor of the entire and immediate
suppression of the liquor traffic. We
are delighted to find this sentiment SO
strong and there is no doubt that
little preliminary work and organiza-
ton will make it aggressive and tri-
umphaDt.

GOVERNOR CLARKE ENDORSED.
ICrurd1, Raruhlinar /

[Grundy Republican,
Governor Clarke has made good in
every sense of the word. He has given
an administration that is acknowledged
to be sincere and just. He has at all
times sought to secure the best services
possible for the state and along these
lines none, save the most rabid
partisans, can find any fault.
His strongest hold, however. is in
his unfiinching defense of his acts. The
governor is not a coward in any use of
the term and his defense of the work of
his administration has made him
friends The truth of this last state
ment is easily proved by the acts Of
where some sought to grind their axes
about high taxes, only to have the con-
vention declare for the enforcement of
the present laws on taxation. or for
their repeal. And that plank found not
an audible objector, either on the COM
mittee, or in the convention. The people
have long ago learned that the man who
has the nerve to enforce the laws he
had sworn to uphold. even when the
enforcement brings a storm of criticism
against himself, will not go far wrong
on any matter affecting the principles
of right or wrong.
And Gov. George W. Clarke is that
kind of q man.
