Special to Times Republican.
Washington, Oct. l6.-Iowa men in
the rainbow division and the other
Iowans destined for France probably
will not get an opportunity to vote in
the congressional elections next fall.
The war department has about decided
that no voting on the other side will be
permitted.
Many states have absentee voter
laws that permit the soldiers to vote
while in camps. The war department
has held that 1t is entirely legal to
vote the men from these states while
in France, holding that the rule OF
extra territoriality applies and the
American army camps over there are
to be considered American territory
But the position of army officers Is
that 1t would seriously interfere with
camp discipline and cause needless an
noyance to take the men from their
serious work and inject them into
political tght on this side.

WHAT ABOUT SMALL MINES?

DR.. Garfield, the nations fuel ad-
ministrator. proposes to see that there
is plenty of coal for everyone. He has
list of all the cool mines of the coun-
try and statement of their producing
capacity. He intends to notify each of
them to deliver certain percentage of
their output to the government at the
price the President has named. From
the accumulation of government coal,
DR., Garfield will supply the individual
consumer. But the owners of the small
er coal mines say that they cannot pro
duce coal at the price which President
Wilson has. otfered. If this is true and
if they deny DR.. Garfield 5 right to com
pei them to deliver coal at a loss-what
then? Will DR.. Garfield take over the
mines and operate them in the name of
the government, with a Congressional
appropriation to make up the deficit?
Or will the owners be forced to run
their mines at loss in behelf of the
Government? This price fixing bust
ness leads to many complications.
