FRANCHISE IS UNDER FIRE
Commercial f lab Slates Its Posltlor
Ordinance for the
Tabor I. Inc.
on
The proposed franchise ordinance for th
Council Bluffs, Tabor & Southern Electric
Railway company proved a fruitful sub
ject for discussion at the meting last n'ght
of the directors of the Commercial club.
The sentiment of the meeting as exprersed
was that the company should be encour
aged and given a suitable franchise for
an interurban line, while the city's Inter
ests should be properly safeguarded. That
another purely local atreet car line was not
wanted was the opinion generally ex
pressed. The ordinance was read section by sec
tion by Attorney Tlnley and the directors
generally expressed themselves of the opin
ion that the measure In Its present condi
tion should not be passed by the city coun
cil. Considerable opposition was mani
fested to the proposition to permit the
company to haul freight and cattle cars
over Its tracks on the streets, especially In
the residence part of the city.
Lucius Wells spoke In favor of the com
pany being given a franchise but he con
sidered the time limit of four years In
which to complete its line was unreason
able. Ha said he was opposed to the com
pany being required to put up a cash for
feit. If the ordlnpnce was not correct It
should be corrected, he said, and should
provide for tho company forfeiting alt
rights if It did not carry out Its part of the
contract in the time specified.
William Qroneweg said he was opposed
to the city giving anything away without
something adequate In return. He said
the city ought to profit by Its experience
In the past and not bind Itself or give an
option on Its streets to a company which
might not be entirely responsible.
After discussion, a resolution was adopts!
to the effect that the council should require
the construction of an Interurban line as
a condition for a franchise in the city,' and,
further, that all passenger trains should
be run through the central part of the city
and not over the southwest belt line.
It was reported to the club that a local
company with a capital of $25,000 had been
formed and would take over the property
of the Smith Refining company and convert
It Into a canning factory.

Complain of quality of Gaa.
Alderman Casper, at the request of a
large number of cltliens, has Inaugurated
a campaign for a better quality of gas than
that at present supplied to Its consumers
by the local company. Ever since the new
management assumed control of the local
lighting company complaint has been made
about the poor quality of tha gaa and Its
lack of Illuminating power. While the com
plaint Is general throughout the city of the
poor Illumination afforded by the gaa It is
freely admitted that it has sufficient power
to make the register on the meter revolve
without apparently losing any time.
At the request of Alderman Casper, City
Solicitor Snyder has been requested to ex
amine the charter of the gas company with
a view to ascertaining what steps the city
can take to compel the gaa company to fur
nish a better quality of lllumlnant.

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DKS MOINES, Jan. l'J. (Special.) But
little business was done in the Iowa

to the message delivered by Governor Cum
mins to the Joint assembly. The Joint as
sembly also took up the work of counting
the vote of the state on governor and lieu
tenant governor and will determine the
exact majority for the republican ticket.
This Is a mere formality with the legisla
ture and no Interest attaches there to aave
that the count may show some errors In the
unofficial returns.
The vote on governor and lieutenant gov
ernor was canvassed and the figures an
nounced. The plurality for Cummins was
declared to be 79,079, there being no dcvla
tlon from the unofficial figures announced
In December. .
Both houses met separately In the fore
noon. Provision was made in each case
for private secretaries for the preHldlug
officers. Speaker Clarke named A. K. Brown
of Mitchell county for his private secretary
and Governor Herrlott named James H.
Wilson of Adalr as his private secretary.
The following additional employes were
selected by joint resolution for the legisla
tive session:

ing, was granted the right to seat No. 1. A

Both houses adjourned at noon until 1:45,

sage.
Propose Compromise on Delegates.
Conferences were held here tonight be
tween leaders of factions in. Iowa with a
vie W to arriving at art agreement as to a

preventing a factional fight In the conven
tion. No agreement has yet been reached,

NEW RULE WILL HELP OMAHA
Iowa Stock Shippers Who Cannot Oat

WILL SAVE MONEY ON RETURN FARES
Matter Discussed by Shippers Who
Have Heretofore Sold Kxclualvelr
In Chlcaaro, hut Are Looking;
Torrard Kebraska,
WEBSTER CITY, la., Jan. 12. tSpecial.)
Webstor City, stock shippers, and Indeed
shippers from all over Iowa, are much
dissatisfied over the recent ruling of the
Western Traffic association whereby they
are deprived of passes returning home from
a market after having made a shipment of
stock. The new rule went Into effect Jan
uary 1, and by Its enforcement shippers are
given a pass only to their market and are
compelled to pay fare on the return trip.
There can be but one result of this ruling
In Iowa and that will be the abandonment
of the Chicago market In favor of the
Omaha market.
Most shippers desire to accompany their
stock to see that It Is well taken care of on
the Journey. By reason of their accom
panying their shipments the rai'road com
panies are relieved of A large share of re
sponsibility for the care of stock enroute
to the market. The result of tha recent
ruling of the western roads will be milch
to the disadvantage of the Chicago buyers,
and will turn the tide of shipment in all
of tho western part of Iowa and adjoining
states toward Omaha. Webster City ship
pers are Interested In the matter of hav
ing to pay return fare from Chicago. They
are extremely dissatisfied with having to
pay $10.63 every time they ship a car of
stock In order to get back home from the
Windy City. Tho matter Is of vital impor
tance to them.
Rule Helps Omaha.
Local stockmen in talking over the mat
ter have decided that their next shipment
will bo sent to Omaha Instead of Chicago.
These men are of the opinion that soon all
tho stock movement of this part of Iowa
will be toward Omaha unVss the recent
order is rescinded. The Omaha market Is
over 150 miles closer to Webster City than
Chicago. Aa Iowa, and the central part of
it In particular, Is one of the greatest
cattle and stock raising states In the na
tion, a turning of the traffic from more
than one-half of this state to another mar-
J ket will mean much to the ChloAgo buyers
I and packers. If shippers hsve to pay fare
one way they will prefer to ship to the
nearest good market, thus having a shorter
distance from which to buy a ticket home.
They are not particular which market they
make use of. but have become) accustomed
to using the Chicago markeit. As long, how.
fwr, as they must pay fare, one way the
Omaha market will do tho hutttneas of fully
the western half of Iowa. The extent of
the stock traffic from this section of ths
state may be Judged from tha fact that It
Is nothing unusual for twelve stock trains
to be loaded In this city alone In rnn day
that one day being usually on Sunday of
course, when the lines aro given almost
wholly to the stock trade.
