INTERIOR CITIES
CASE IS FILED
Judge Henderson Presents Rate Case
to Commerce Commission
for Rehearin9.

Judge +. H. Henderson. state COM
merce counsel. has just completed
and fled with the interstate com
MERGE commission the formal petition
for the %reopening Of the interior Iowa
rate case, in accordance with the
agreement announced at the time OF
the conference held with the Iowa
railroad commission about six weeks
ago. The move to reopen was held
back to await the decision in the east
ern s per cent advance rate case.
The allegations in the petition
show that the state has a very strong
case before the commission, and Will
be able to demonstrate that when the
case was closed before, the railroads
utterly failed to file a schedule OF
rates that accorded with the prin-
ciples laid down in the decision. Some
features OF the decision were fulfilled,
but the most important thing, that OF
removal OF determinations, was made
even worse. The case Is not n OF
a controversy between the interior
and river cities Of the state, though
the comparison Is between them as
group but It involves general dis
elimination against Iowa.
This general discrimination against
Iowa, which takes the form Of build
ing a commercial wall about the state
and maintaing it there without rea-
son., is the thing which the commits
sion and the business men have been
fighting against many years.
Briefly the petition sets forth that
under the new rates Of the carriers
the discrimination against interior
Iowa cities as compared with those on
the Mississippi river has been ma
t~erially increased as also the dfscrim-
nation against them in favor of the
big eastern cities.

Drs. Arnold and SInotte Have Built
Up a Good Business by Modern
Methods and Salts
factory Work.
HAVE LATEST
Everything In the Way Of Modern
C~onveniences and Appliances
Installed to Give Patients
Comfort.

There is a great difference between
the u%p-to-date Office in which the den-
fist today serves his patient and the
office of ten years ago. One Of the
most modern Offices in Keokuk is that
conducted by Drs. Arnold and Sinotte,
GOA Main street.
These two Keokuk dentists, both
young in years, who, in three short
years, have built up a very large prac-
tice, lay forceful emphasis on santa
ton. They say that to do their work
properly it is not only necessary that
the Office be equipped with he latest
conveniences in the way OF apparatus,
but the dentists doing the work u
strive to attain the highest prof.
cheney in sanitation, and this can only
be lone by giving the matter careful
attention.
Drs. Arnold and Sinotte have made
sion. Being graduated from the Keo-
kuk Dental college al a time when
radical changes were being made and
new methods were being introduced for
the betterment OF the profession, they
were quick to see that the dentist
who would "get there would be the
one who adopted those changes that
would appeal to the patient. This
they both did and now they enjoy a
very satisfactory business.
The Office makes q speciality OF
crown and bridge work and is a
! strong advocate of 1t for the reason
that it results in a great saving Of
the teeth. Taking care Of the teeth
is a thing too often neglected and
Keokuk people offer no exception in
this regard. 1t is wise to see your
dentist in time and all the more i'm
portant to go to an Office which does
work along modern lines. The office
Of Drs. Arnold and Sinotte is we'll
equipped mechanically and the two
members Of the Arm who do the work
are sufficiently skilled In their profess
sion to give complete satisfaction.
1 Drs. Arnold and Sinotte solicit your
patronage and insure patients the
highest degree of efficient workman
