virtually p0cketed. To the east. west
and south the road is clear to the
British as lar as natural barriers are
concerned, except for part OF the vii
lagc OF Butlecourt, from which the
British have half driven their fes.
The naval forces have also de-
stroyed Zeppelin in tile North Sea.
A ray of sunshine has also fallen
on British arms at sea. The great
German submarine base at Zebrugge
and the naval stronghold at Will

sea and ali, apparently with notable
success.
Italians Begin Offensive.
The only incident OF moment in the
other war theaters is an Austrian re-
port of great artillery bombardment
by the Italians. This may mean that
the long inactivity of General Cadorna
is about to be broken.
The Italian situation has been
wrapped in considerable obscurity
and there have been uncomfortable
rumors that the chaos in Russia was
inspiring the central powers to mass

ran into an electrolier. The electrolier
was completely demolished and the
radiator Of the car was broken in sew

PLANNING TO APPEAL TO INTER.
STATE BOARD FOR INCREASE
IN FREIGHT TARIFFS.
WILL FOLLOW WITH PLEA
FOR "a CENTS FARE
Argue For Freight Increase
BY Seeking to Show Inequalities Be-
tween State and Interstate Charges
Commissioners Lewis Foresees OBJ
iectionabls Conditions.
ecial to Times Republican.

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, April 19.-The railroads
operating in Iowa are planning to
make a fight before the interstate COM
MERGE commission to increase freight
rates in this state. Following their
fight for this they will make similar
effort to raise the passenger rates in
the state from cents per mile to "a
cents, the same as in interstate rates.
The information as to the freight
rate fight Is given in brief which
the railroads have filed with the In
terstate commerce commission in
case involving interstate rates from
points east of Iowa to Iowa interior
points. In this brief the statement is
made.
"rhe Iowa lines are now engaged in
formulating a scale Of mileage rates to
file with the interstate commerce
commission in lieu Of the present Iowa
scale. This scale, when filed, will APP
ply between such river points as Rock
Island and Omaha and points in Iowa
and between points in Iowa where no
other rates are available to apply on
interstate traffic
After reciting the Iowa distance tar
if is the oldest scale Of rates in the
west the argument further declares.
"True, the carriers have filled the
Iowa distance tariff with the interstate
commerce commission to apply on IN
terstate traffic where no other rates
are available. but It is proper to say
that arrangements are now being per-
fected to withdraw that tariff from the
files of the commission"
Discrimination Shown.
The railroads are making the argu-
ment that it is unfair to charge a
shipper from Rock Island in ship
ment of goods to some interior Iowa
point a higher rate than Is charged
shipper from Davenport. They draw
the same comparison as regards ship
ments from Omaha and Council Bluffs.
When they bring up their passenger
rate cases 1t is expected a similar ar
gument will be made.
There Is no doubt about the plans
Of the carriers now" declared Dwight
N. Lewis, member Of the state board
Of railroad commissioners. when the
Iowa railroad commission made the
statement before the house and senate
appropriations committee short time
ago that it was the purpose OF the
RAILROAD companies to file such sched-
ules as would bring about conditions
similar to those obtaining in what was
known as the Shreveport and Iowa
Nebraska rate cases, 1t was thought
by some that the fear was ground
less one. The above evidence proves
our fears to be correct"

PROGRESSIVE SYSTEM.
RESTRICTIONS THROWN
ABOUT PROCEDURE
Petition For Consolidation First Must
Be Acted Upon by County superin-
tendent--vote in Both Town and
Rural Districts Must Garry to Be-
come Effective.
Special to Times Republicn.

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, April 19.-F'riends Of
consolidated schools declare that under
the new consolidated school law it will
be easier to check and hamper the for
nation of such districts than under
the old law They say that after July
Of this year when the new law goes
into effect not nearly so much progress
will be made in the state in school con-
solidation as heretofore.
Under the new law the petition for .
consolidated district must be acted on
by the county superintendent. An APP
peal may be taken to the county board
Of education. Under the old law the
petition was filed with the county
board. 1t is claimed that the calling Of
an election can be delayed longer UNI
der the new provision than under the
old
The notice of the election where con-
,solidation is to be voted on must be
published in paper in the proposed
territory or il there is none such in one
issue OF the official papers Of the
county or counties in which the pro-
posed consolidated district is located.
Posting Of notices is done away with.
1t is urged gainst this provision that
there may not be a, paper published
within twenty, miles Of the proposed
district and that the election would not
thus be we'll advertised.
Other Restrictions.
When 1t is proposed oiinclude in
such district school corporation con-
tanning a city, town or village the
question OF consolidation mist carry
both within the city and in the terri
tory Outsider
All costs of the election must be paid
by the school district in which such
consolidation is proposed
The bill declares that mo portion OF
any school corporation from which ter
ritory Is taken to form such consoli-
dated district, shall. after the change,
contain less than four government Sec
tions. which territory shall be contig-
uous and so situated as to form suit
able corporation
The bill as originally proposed was
much more radical than as finally
passed. It would have made those pc
titioning the election pay the cost In
case the election lost.
State Superintendent Deyoe has been
an ardent advocate and untiring worker
for consolidated schools. There are
now 223 consolidated school districts
in the state and the majority Of them
have been formed in the past four
years. sss 8 u
The legislature which has Just ad-
journed passed the Smith bin providing
for going back to the told system OF
electing the state superintendent in
stead of having him appointed by the
governor. 1t is claimed that this Is
aimed at state Superintendent Deyoe
because of his activity in developing
consolidated school districts.
