OPPOSE STATE CONTROL
Chairman Thorns, Of state Railroad
Commission, Believes Railroads Are
Trying to Concentrate Control In
Federal Government.

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines. Feb. 21-Railroad infiu-
ence is at work in congress to take
away from the state any control of the
railroads. in the opinion of Clifford C.
Thorne. chairman of the Iowa board
OF railroad commissioners. The roads
would concentrate all such control in
the federal government he says. and
put up some plausible arguments as to
why this should be, Commissioner
Thorne declares.
The railroads claim that the various
requirements of the different states are
often conflicting and make 1t almost
impossible for them to comply with all
of the laws" pointed out Commissioners
Thorne today, in discussing this latest
railroad movement. But ! have yet
to learn where there has ever been any
serious conflict in these state meas
ures.
The Union Pacific at one time
raised the question as to the different
requirements concerning headlights
made lpy Iowa and Nebraska This
was cited as an illustration of how the
state regulation contlicted. AS mat
Ter Oh Iact II WAS u MINOR regulation
and only applied in the railroad yards
in Council Bluffs as the road had no
other station in the state and our
commission did not insist on the en-
forcemert OF this minor point so long
as 1t did not mean much either way.
'If the control of the railroads was
centered at Washington the average
citizen would have but little chance OF
making his grievances heard. AS it is
now with state commissions the points
Of difference between the railroads and
the citizens can be taken up with the
commissions and there is a good chance
for a prompt hearing"

manner Saturday morning. He was

Gus roar The startled horse gave a
huge bound into the air and tho it

on the frozen highway it had broken
one OF its legs and the animal had to
be shot later.

GRINNEll DEFEATS DRAKE
Showing of Scarlet and Black Five In
sures Chance in Title Battle.

Special to Times Republican.
Grfnnell. Feb. 2l--It was a jubilant
bunch OF Grinnellians who received the
report from Drake Saturday afternoon
that Carney's quintet had captured
decisive victory. Needless to say there
was considerable apprehension among
the local enthusiasts over this contest
and when the Simpson game the night
before resulted in such close margin
for Grinnell it caused a noticeable
frightening Of faces and many doubts
were expressed. =
But 1t is clear that Coach Carney
had held his scrappy scarlet and blacl.
men well in leash during the Simpson
game and was striving to appear on
the floor against Drake with his team
in the best possible shape. Fat"
thought ne had the Simpson game sure
enough anyway but he looked upon
the Bulldogs with somewhat narrowed
eyes.
Grinnell beat Drake worse than Iowa
did and as q result the climax of the
season now approaches with the Coe
and Iowa contests to be staked here
next Tuesday and Saturday nights re-
spectively.
