Senator Pomerene of Ohio a democratic mem Der of the senate interstate commerce commission, epeaking here tonight be- fore the American Railway Engineers society. opposed extending the period of government control over railroads beyond the 21 months provided by congress. He asserted that the pro- posed five years extension was urged only for the purpose of experiment.
 Senator Pomerene also urged early restoration of the functions of the in terstate commerce commission, with increased powers and the fixing by congress of a fair standard return on capital invested for the railroads.
 Government control" he asserted. twas intended for war purposes and it ought not to be continued for peace purposes, unless some assured, not speculative or conjectural, advantage can be gained thereby.

RATABUN PARDON CASE REVIVED
~ COURT ACTION AGAINST
ATTORNEY CLARK.
GOVERNOR HARoiNo's
DEPOSITION TAKEN
Questioned az to Part Hs Played in
Granting Pardon TO Young Rsthbun
Will Deny He Received or Was
Offered Money BY Lawyer Clark
Charge Based on Misrepresentation
'ecial to Times Republican,

Special to Times Republican,
Des Moines, Aug. Ex-Governor w. l..
Harding today went thru ordeal Of an
other Rathbun pardon inquiry. All
morning and most Of the afternoon he
was closeted with Judge Y. A. Church.
of Jefferson, and Attorney Il. c. Stew
ems, of Rockwell City. who questioned
him upon the part he played in the
pardon scandal that upset the Iowa
legislature last winter and caused open
war between the governor and the at
torney general.
Among other things which the gov
ernor Is thought TO have testified upon.
and which will become public records
should the Clark disbarment case ever
get into open court, are:
!. Mr.. Harding's formal explanation
of the motives that actuated him In
pardoning Rathbun.
.. Mr.. HarGing's formal denial that
Attorney George II. Clark, of Ida
Grove, ever offered him n bride to par
don Rathbun.
The governors deposition is to be
used in disbarment proceedings against
Clark. which grew out Of his alleged
unprofessional conduct in connection
with the Rathbur case.
It Is alleged that he misrepresented
the circumstances in his application
for a pardon for his youthful client.
The governors testimony naturally will
be vital upon this point
It is understood that Clark's alleged
offer to bride the governor is not d.
rectly involved in the charge under
which disbarment is sought. The
charge. it Is said, rests upon a claim
Of unprofessionai conduct upon Clark's
part in certain statements made by
him in his application for pardon for
Rathbun. and attendant correspond
ence with the pardoning authority.
Dispositions Of Charles E. Witt, Sec
rotary to the governor, and Of Mrs.
Emma K. Blaise, pardon clerk in the
governors office, also were to be
taken.

Mr.. Parsons was much interested
In the farming operations Of the re-
formatory. Warden Baumel is about
the biggest farmer In Iowa AZ the re-
forrnatory operates 1880 acres of land.
Tn corn on 52l acres promises more
than so bushels TO the acre, The oats
from 40 acres are being threshed with
an OUTFIT owned by the state and oper-
atod by prisoners, the yield being forty
bushels per acre. The wheat crop
from about 100 acres is already In the
bin. This averaged g bushels per
acre, About 80 acres OF early potatoes
are giving a large yield with 80 acres
Of late potatoes which are not so good
In prospect. over 400 tons OF hay have
been put up in first class condition
Besides these principal crops there Is
a good acreage of each OF beans bar
ley, rye, rape, millet and garden vege-
tables. Four crops have been raised

2&2 stock cattle. nearly 800 swine, and
about 20 horses and 81 mules The

with modern machinery. Besides horse
and mule power. two tractors are
used in the hleds and also for running
the threshing machine and other sta :
tionary machinery. .
During the farming season ABOUT
fifty able bodied prisoners are con-
stantly employed at the farm work.
At times an additional fifty men are
used at gardening, fence building ana
other extra work In keeping up farm
buildings. etc.

THE NATIONAL GUARD
How the Term Came to Be Used to
Desionate Organized Militia.


Designate Organized Militia.
The name National Guard" is said
TO have originated at the time La
fayette visited America in 1924. says
the writer of an Historical Survey OF
the Militia in Iowa, 1S3S-1865", pub
lished recently by the State Historical
Society Of Iowa. At that time the
name was adopted by the Seventh
Regiment Of New York militia In hon.
or Of the distinguished visitor, AFTER
the "Garde Rationale" Of France. In
1862 New York adopted the term Ma
tional Guard to describe the organized
militia Of the State.
The first Iowa company known to
have used the name was the volunteer
company called the Sabula National
Guards, whose officers were commits
stoned October 26, 1857. 1t was not
until 1873, however that the name was
accorded recognition in the laws OF
Iowa as the official designation for
the organized militia Of the State. The
Dick Bill. adopted by Congress in
1908, provided that the oganized NIL
litia of the various States and Terri
tories should be known as the Ma
tional Guard, "or by such other desis-
ma tions as may be given them by the
laws of the respective States or Terri
tories"
