Sioux City.
This city heard with considerable re-
greet that a federal farm loan bank Is
not slated to. be located here. Being
situated virtually on the border line of
three states and relatively close to the
heart OF the richest agricultural district
In the country, Sioux City had ex-
pected much from the federal farm loan
board. Oddly, the fact that two Of the
members of the board and its publicity
man are formerly Sioux Cityans had
initiated against locating one of the
twelve new farm loan banks here. 1t
might have been charged. regardless OF
the merits Of Sioux City that location
of, a bank here was favoritism. ST
Joseph, Mo-, Is reported to have been
chosen for the hank to serve the state
Of Iowa. Des Moines had counted on
being selected IL Sioux City wasn't, as
Iowans figured the richest agricultural
state In the union could not be alto
gether overlooked. District seven en-
braces Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska and
Missouri. Des Moines has not given
up hope yet. but in reports from Wash
ington is said to be running close to
st. Joseph.

Des Moines, Dec. Am attack on
the 2-cent fare law of Illinois which
is being made by the railroads in a
suit brought In the FEDERAL district
court in Chicago. Ill, has aroused the
state department Of Justice here and
Attorney General Cosson. In fact the
Iowa attorney general has been asked
by the state Officials OF Illinois 10
help fight the casc and ne has con-
sentea 10 do SO.
Iowa is Just as much interested in
this fight as is the state Of illinois
for If the 2rcent fare law OF the neigh
boring state is knocked out by tne
courts it means that Iowa's 2-cenl fare
law as well as those Of other states
will likewise be Knocked out.
Ever since the interstate commerce
commission about a year and halt
ago held that the railroads could
charge 2ls cents per mile on interstate
travel thru all of these states which
have 2-cent fare laws the big roads
have been planning on attacking these
laws in the various states. They de-
clare that the 2-cent fare laws are up
constitutional.
Means Much to Iowa.,
If the roads lose out in the courts 1t
is probable they will go before the va
rious legislatures this winter and en-
deavor to have the 2-cent fare laws
killed in the legislatures altho they
have greater hopes Of winning out In
the courts than in the state legisla-
lures.
This Illinois case means as much to
Iowa as ii does Ie Illinois, declared
Attorney General Cosson today. If the
railroads win in Illinois they will Win
in Iowa too and in all other states
where the 2-cent fare law exists. Hence
it is vitality important that we exert
every effort to defeat the efforts of the
railroads to secure this increase"
The case is to be heard Dec. 10. At
torney General Cosson began the prep
aration of his case Saturday. Tomor-
row he goes to Keokuk where the
grand jury is investigating police con-
ditions.
