TO COST IOWA $500,
Proposed Rate Raise of Railroads Sc
we're Tax on Patrons of Lines.


Des Moines. Jan. If the railroads
operating in Iowa secure the advance
in passenger and freight rates, which
they propose to ask Of the interstate
commerce commission. it will mean
that the increased revenue in this state
alone will amount to $500. 900 annual
ly, according to Clifford Thorne, chair
man of the state railroad commission.
Mr.. Thorne has been chosen by fifteen
western states to lead the fight against
the proposed advances. Rate experts
from several states already have gath
cred at the state house here to prepare
for the fight. The executive council
has granted office rooms for their use.
Mr.. Thorne has estimated that the
advances asked by the railroads will
amount on an average to 10 per cent.
The western advance rate case differs
from the one just decided in the east
where the railroads We're granted per
cent increases in that each tariff is in
dependent of the other. There are 1,12i
tariffs involved, each asking for Diff
/ ferent per cent raise, This does not
include the raise of a half cent mile,
which will be asked in passenger rates.
which amounts to % per cent Taking
all the various schedules into lump
amount it is estimated that the aver
age advance asked is,l0 per cent
The 1912 report of the Iowa railroad
commission showed that the total rev.
enue for steam railroads in Iowa. in
Guiding passenger and freight revenues,
amounted to $4,000, 900 in that year.
Ten per cent of this. therefore, repre-
sents the gain that will be made should
the commission grant the request OF
the roads. 1t is this advance that the
western states are combining to fight:

SCHOOL PATRONS APPEAL.
Action Of Iowa Falls Board Of Eduea-
ton Transferring Grades, Questioned.

Special to Times Republican.
Iowa Falls Jan. IA hearing on an
appeal was heard this week by Miss
Blanche Stoddard, county superintend-
ent of schools. in which the board Of
education of this city Is questioned for
changes made In the grades of the
north ward school, early in the fall.
At that time petitions were filed with
the board asking that the north ward
school be closed and that the pupils
from the north part of the city be given
the advantage of the new high school
building. "Reminiscences We're made
to the petition and finding that Il d.
vision of sentiment existed the board
decided to eliminate boundary lines
in the main part of the city and allow
the pupils to attend either the north
ward school or the new central school
large number decided to take adj
vantage of the better facilities offered
| in the new building. resulting In a
congestion in certain grades at the
central school. To meet this condition,
the board. which had been unable to
! foresee such contingency. made a levy
to meet 1t. removed the seats and desks
from two rooms in the north ward
building where the attendance had
been depleted. leaving two teachers to
teach the first four or five grades.
These desks and seats were placed In
unoccupied rooms in the new central
school building to accommodate the
increased attendance there.
To this action some residents of the
north part of the city took exception.
although they agreed that the ellmi-
nation of the ward line was acceptable.
They objected to the removal of the
furniture, however, and the abolish
ment of the sixth. seventh and eighth
grades in the north ward school. and
so took al aprea! 20 the county super
intendent. The board argued that to
maintain these grades in the ward
school after many of the pupils from
the ward had come to the central
school. would entail an expense OF
from $1,000 to $500 for teachers etc.
The board, feeling their position was
a tenable one and justified in view OF
existing conditions. defended the ac-
ton at the hearing Of the appeal
The superintendent reserved decision
until q later date.

with the secretary to be submitted to

The militia pay bill contemplates
much greater funds for the organized

an enlistment for a longer period with
