Colonel John Lindt of this city, state commander of the Department of Towa of the Grand Army, who is & personal friend of the = commander-in-chief, ha written him urging him to so arrange his itinerary as to stop over for a few hours in Council Blufs. Colonel Lindt and the members of Abe Lincoln post are hopefur that the com- mander-in-chiet will accept the invitation | and in the event of his so doing, his visit here will be made & memorable event. In- | vitations will be sent to all the leading | Grand Army men of the state to be present and greet the commander-in-chief.

Bixby & Son. The recent decision of the supreme court in the tax ferret case from Cass county will, it ie belleved, have a direct bearing on the similar suit from Pottawattamie county. In the case from Cass county the supreme court held that the contract en- tered into by the board of county super- visors with C. W. Welman on a 50 per cent basis of remuneration was perfectly legal and that the board had full autho.ity /to make such a contract and agree to pay whatever commission It deemed advieatle for the ferreting out of property which had been withheld or ,omitted from as- sessment. The contract entered into by the super- | for | portation then amounted to only 8.84 per | nent improvements on raflw | had charged one year to operating expenses | $2.13 for 1898 and $1.93 for 1902. The gross | | common stock and 5 per cent on preferred, company the party from here to San Fran- | terstate Commerce commi: ralleled. He quotes the Interstate Com- merce commission as 1900 that the increased cost of trans- cent as compared with previous years, but as adding that “the significance of these facts is that the directors of railroads | during the year 1899 have avalled them- | selves of high net earnings, made perma- | y and rolling | stock and have charged these improve- ments to operating expenses.” He quotes from the lowa commissioners’ report for 1902, showing that the Milwaukee company $1,600,000 paid for renewal of ties and rails, and the Burlington, Rock Island and North- western had made similar charges. The latest reports show the prosperity of the | railroads still greater, showing that the 22 per cent advance Is still getting in its work. Continuing, Mr. Campbell wrate: lowa has been hit hard already by the advances, first of a 22.2 per cent in classifi cation on_interstate traffic, followed by a similar advance by the Iowa commission- ere on classification, on the plea of the rallways “to meet advance in operating expenses,” etc., glving the shippers an roducers of the state a double dose and increasing the gross earnings of the rail- ways from $48,466,156.44 in 1596 to $59,108,191.41, an increased ‘burden on the commerce of Towa of over $10,000,000. Another advance will be extortlon of the worst cnaracter, and will be resented and resisted by the people of this great commonwealth Mr. Campbell gave statistics showing that the net income per mile of rallroads on the 193,000 miles in the United States, after all deduction, was for 1890 $651, for 1895 3316, and for 1900 was $1,180 per mile. “With the net income per mile more than trebled in the last five years, says Mr. Campbell, “on the rallways of the United | States, does it not require a large degree of assurance on the part of the managers to ask an advance in rates, and will the peo- ple of the country submit to this exorbitant domand in the face of theso facts? Information for Ofcials. Mr. Campbell referred to the fact that the two who have been most active In urging toe advance In rates and justifying the advance on account of Increased expenses are A, C, Bird of the Chicago, Milwauken & St. Paul, and Paul Morton of the Santa Fe. “Both these officlals are expert trafic managere,” sald Mr. Campbell, “but in the financial departments of their respective roads they are perhaps strangers to the fact that the business has prospered im- mensely. For Instance, the gross earn- ings of the Milwaukee road, as shown In the report of the lowa commissioners for June 30, 1902, were over $42,000,000, the dividends declared were 5.5 per cent on common stock and 7 per cent on preferred, a total of 35,444,181, and of the amount charged to operating, expenses $1,500,000 was for renewal of rails and tles, and fur- | ther that the average daily compensation of its employes exclusive of salaried of- | flefals in 1902 was less than in 1898, belng | earnings of the Santa Fe, which road w in the hands of a recelver from 1894 to 1893, were o/er $10,000,000 greater in 1902 than | In 1898; in 1898 the Santa Fe paid no div- | idends while for 1902 dividends amounting | to $8,104.300 were declaied, 1.5 per cent on | @ pretty healthy showing for a financial invalld."” » Carry Frelght Cheaper. Mr. Campbell declares that the facts are that most of the rafiroads of the United States can darry freight at one-half the rates of a decade ago and reap large profits. By straightening and shortening lines, cut. ting down grades, iucreasing speed, laying double tracl g larger cars and en- gines, doubling and even trebling their tonnage, and other modern improvements, they have made it possible to do this. Jn conclusion Mr. Campbell stated to the In- lon by way of suggesting a remedy: “Now that the rallway managers ignore tke law and commissioLers in putting into ating In the report | Of Des Moines because it had no franchise, { firmed by McClean.

SUPREME COURT CLOSES FOR THE TERM | Wil Review Important Criminal Question—Des Moines Fire Losses Last Year—Michigan Ban- aquet for lowa. (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES, Feb. 12.—(Special.)—The supreme court closed its January term this morning and a large batch of decisions and rulings was made of record. The most im- | portant matter handled was the decision in the telephone case involving the right to the use of the streets and alleys of cities without a franchise. The case was that of | Chamberlain against the lowa Telephone Company, appealed from Judge Prouty of the Polk county court, who held against the company's contention. Now the su- preme court, in a long opinion, decides that the telephone company is right. The suit was to oust the company from the streets the old franchise having been allowed to lapse, but the company answered by point- Ing to a general law of the state which gives telegraph and telephone companies a right to occupy “all public highwaye” of the state. The court holds that this lan- guage relates to streets and alleys as well as rural roads, and !f this was not clear when the law was passed, It was made clear when subsequent legis lon was enacted that in giviug city councils power to regu- late telephone and telegraph companies, and not the power to exclude or admit them. The court therefore reaches the conclusion that the company has a right to the occupancy of the streets without any permit or franchise from the city. This de- clsion affects every city in the stute and renders it unnecessary that franchises should be asked for or obtained. Telenhone companies may go into any city of the state and number of them set wp In a city without asking the consent & anyone. Brady Case to Be Heard Again. The supreme court just before adjourning passed on the motion of the attorney gen- eral for a rehearing of the Brady case from this county involving a vital question of practice in criminal matters in the state.

The court granted the following ings: Bankers lowa State Bank against Mason-Hand Lathe Company, Polk county; Hyatt against Hamilton County, Hamilton county; Green Bay Lumber Compauy against J. 8.

Cunningham under the comtract to re- celve 50 per cent of all monies recovered into the county treasury through his efforts in unearthing property which had been omitted or withheld from assessment. Cup- ningham's claim against the county now exceeds $12,000, but payment refused pending the suit brought by Attorney Frank Shinn attacking the legality of the con- tract. Now that the bupreme court has upheld the coutract emtered into by the Cass county board of supervisors, It s believed here that it will make the same ruling in the suit from this county. Welman, the tax ferret who had the contraet in Cas county, Is sald to be a partner of F. M. this county.
