Des Moines, Aug. 1.-THE 1916 state
fair will be policed by student cadets
from the Iowa state college at Ames,
under direction Of Adjt. Gen. Guy E.
Logan, who will be chief Of the public
safety department of the exposition.
Gen. J. r. Lincoln is organizing the
force Of cadets for Adjt. Gen. Guy E.
Logan. Between 100 and 100 students
will make up the force. 1t is believed
that sufficient numbers of students from
the state college will volunteer for the
work to fill the entire list.
However, If the number falls short
the cadet force at the state university
at Iowa City will be asked to send suf-
ficient men to fill the vacancies.
The students are looking on this state
fair service as sort of vacation, as we'll
as an opportunity to add little cash
to their bank account to carry them
thru the college year. Every man who
goes into the force will have had at
least one years training in handling a
rifle.
For the past two years the state fair
has been policed by companies of the
Iowa national guard.

Newlands Explains
Field Of Inquiry into
Railroad Problems

the doctrine Of force from application
to controversies between man and
man, and which furnished judicial tri-
! bunals for the settlement of those con-
troversies; and which is now and has
been for years endeayoring interna-
tionally to secure a system under
which the nations of the earth will cre-
ate similar tribunals for the adjust
| ment Of interna tional disputes with
out resort to force-whether a civil
| lied nation can be content to perpetu-
ate the existing conditions of things"
Hours and wages of employees must
| be considered carefully. Senator New
| lands declared. because the burdens
| which constitute the operating ex-
! penses Of these corporations are in
time transferred to the shippers
! Senator Newlands outlined the pro-
posals to reorganize the Interstate
| Commerce Commission and to create
federal agencies which might supplant
state authorities in exercising control
over railroad financing. He said:
The question will be considered as
! to whether the commission is now over
loaded and if so whether this difficulty
| should be met by relieving it CO many
OF the superving and administrative
| duties which it now exercises or by en-
larging and dividing it so as to en-
able it to meet the strain of its various
duties.
| Another question Of importance that
! Will come up will be the question Of
| the control of railway and other pub
| lie utility securities
There will also come up the uues-
| tion as to whether the nation or the
states should create the great organ
lZat1ons that serve the purpose Of in
terstate commerce Thus far we have
| peen content to allow the states to Gre
ate these corporations, these railroad

Commenting on suggestions that rail-
roao taxation be put in the hands of
FEDERAL authorities exclusively. Sena-
tor NewlandS said:
we find the greatest diversity in the
tax laws of various states. some states
imposing heavy burdens upon these
corporations and others imposing very
hsnt burdens: some taxing only the
visible property. others taxing the in
tangible thing termed franchise.
some OF them adopting the market
price or the stocks and bonds as the
stahdard measure OF valuation, others
contending themselves simply with the
physical valuation of the actual pron.

Washington, Nov. N.-In opening the
first session of the joint congressional
committee to investigate railroad prob
lens today, Senator Francis 6. Newlands
of Nevada, the chairman, explained that
the inquiry would cover wide field. He
said:
1T will relate to every phase OF the
transportation question, the rail car
riers, the river carriers and the ocean
carriers, and the perfection of a harmo-
NOUS system of transportation embracing
rail, river and ocean carriers, that will
meet the demands of interstate as well as
foreign commerce. and it will also De ap-
piled to telegraph and telephone lines.
express companies and other public utill-
ties.
1T will embrace not only the subject
| of government control and regulation OF
these utilities. but also the wisdom and
| the feasibility of government ownership
and the comparative worth and efficiency
of government regulation and control as
compared with government ownership
! and operation"
Referring to government ownership,
Senator Newlands said: -
1T is a question that must be faced
Other nations far advanced in civilization
have adopted the system. Recently, I'M
der the stress OF war, almost all Euro
pean governments have taken over the
railways. Whethe Mat will be a perma-
nent taking over III ~ temporary one.
it demonstrates TIT in conditions OF
great crises when autocratic powers must
be given to the government. all intelli-
gent governments drift toward absolute
and complete operation of the roads as
the only solution of the question.
"If we pursue the exercise and the
study of government regulation wisely,
persistently and energetically, we may
create such a system of regulation as
will meet every requirement, both in
sine of peace and of war, and in ext
gency or crisis. But it seems to be a
wise thing for the government Of the
United States to ascertain now the his
tory of the countries that have adopted
government ownership and operation of
railways and to watch the experiences
of the European countries in this great
war in this regard.
Strikes as means of settling labor dis
putes Senator Newlands characterized as
"the most barbaric and brutal of pro-
cesses."
The question is" he added, "wheth.
err nation pretending to some degree
of civilization, which has eliminated
