Assistant Attorney Ceneral Cc3:on Fdes Motion to Vacate Order in Milwaukee Railroad Case, Which Will Be Presented to Supreme Court Monday Question of Jurisdiction. Dos Moines, Aug. 27. Supreme Judge Evans has "got in bad" with the polk county district cojit, the slate railroad commission and the atto.ucy general's office at tLe capitol. At Hampton lie signed an order en joining the state coiu.nitsiou and the Utorney general and his assistants from proceeding to the enloictnn lit of an injunction Issued by Judge Rrt-n-nan of the I'olk cou;ity district court iu tho Bavei.port coal caucs. The state rail board and the uttor- coy general got this mandatory in junction to compel the Milwaukee rail road to receive coal for shipment at Davenport whether in Milwaukee cars or others. Some doubt exists as to whether Judge Evans of the supremo court made his order superseding the Judge Brennan order before or after the lat ter was signed. In either case the at torney general's office denies the Juris diction of the supremo court. If the district court order had Is sued, then the railroad company's right was to appeal. If the district court order had not issued the su premo Justice bad no Jurisdiction in tho matter whatever, It is contended. A motion to vacate the Judge Evans order was filed by Assistant Attorney General Cosson and will be presented to the supreme court on Monday. The Injunction Issued by Judge Bren nan at tho request of the state and the Clark Coal and Coke company of Davenport, enjoined the railroad from its practice of Inshtlng that the coal bought by the Davenport concern In Illionls should be placed In cars owned by the Milwaukee road before it would be accepted for transportation. Judge Brennan held that the Mil waukee should accept tho coal for shipment over Its lines without de manding a change of cars. TRIES LAWSUIT EY PHONE .

Bryan be lieves Theodore Roosevelt is working for the Republican nomination for oreFident In 1912, and accuses him, in to doing, of violating the time bon jred precedent Mr. Bryan prints the following editorial In his Commoner: "It looks like Roosevelt expected to be a candidate in 1312. Some of his enthusiastic friends have been talking about him, but there was nothing to support their prophecies until confi dential friends, who visited him after the turn down for chairman, an nounced that he would be a candidate only if It were necessary to do so In order to carry out 'his policies.' "That means that be is not satisfied with the administration, and expects to contest the nomination two years hence. That means fun. "And how will he set forth, specific ally, the policies which he regards as his? It will be Interesting to know what policies he regards as of such vital importance as to Justify him in violating the precedent of a century. Are there nnv good policies thnt a Democratic victory would not pro tect?" normal board TFiiESTO COLLECT Rsfers CasQ'.I.is Maltar cl Peru to Lincoln, Aug. 27.

The matter was re ferred to tho attorney general to take such steps as may be necessary to se cure this money. The money paid out In Interest by CTahtree was inter est on money borrowed, with which teachers were paid pending the de cision of the supreme court on the legality of the law which created a new normal board. The auditor, on ad vice of the legal department, would recognize neither board, so he refused to Issue any warrants for the payment of the teachers until the court decided which board was the legal one. The following estimates of money needed for the next blennlum were made by the various principals and indorsed by the board: Kearney Teachers' salaries, $03. 820; general repairs, $3,000; em ployees' wages, $7,410; south wing to building, f "T.OOO; maintenance. $20,000.

TRANSPORTATION'S BIG TOLL American People Annually Pay Out Three Time as Muoh for Trans portation at They Pay for Support of the Government, Do you know That the people of the United States pay out each year about three times as much In transportation taxes, that Is, for the carriage of freight and pas sengers, as they pay In taxes for the support of government, national, state and local? That transportation affects the price of everything that everybody buys, sells, eats, wears or uses in any way whatever air, water and BunBhine ex cepted? That cheap transportation benefits both the producer and the consumer, making wheat and cotton higher and flour and cloth lower at one and ths same time? That the cheapest known transpor tation is water transportation, costing, on the average, from one sixth to one- tenth as much as transportation by rail? That the direct saving on the goods actually carried by water 1b the United States is over $550,000,000 a year? That railways always make lower rates when subject to the competition of waterways than where such compe tition does not exist? That the Indirect saving;, thus caused, is probably as large as the di rect saving given above? That both the direct and Indirect saving would be largely Increased by the further improvement of our water ways? That waterways always increase the profits of the railways with which they come Into competition? For the rea son that waterways, by giving cheap transportation for raw materials, actu ally create both industry and con merce? As is indicated by the fact That In 1900 there was only one city In the United States, with a population of 150,000 or over, which was not lo cated on a navigable waterway? And further How Frankfort Benefited. That Frankfort, Germany, grewj more in the twenty years after the River Main was canalized than it had grown in the two hundred years be fore? And again That Germany, which is nearly 60,- 000 square miles smaller than Texas, but has one of the finest waterway systems tn the world, had in 1908 a foreign commerce greater than that of the United States by over $500,000, 000? That throurbout the civilized world the largest cities, the densest popula tion, the busiest and most prosperous people are to be found along naviga ble waterways? That the surest nd speediest way to develop the resources of the nation and every state and section thereot to increase the growth of every city and community In the country, to pro mote the prosperity of every interest, including the railroads, and of every citizen, east, west, north and south, is to Improve all our waterways as fast and as far as we can? That money used for the improve ment of waterways, wisely planned and honestly constructed, is not an expenditure but an Investment, which will pay a dividend of at least 100 per cent a year? Provision for Funds. That the benefits which would re sult from the comprehensive improve ment of our waterways, and the losses which would follow our failure to make such improvement, are so enor mous, that funds should be provided by the issuance of bonds as has been done by railways so that the work may be begun at once and finished as soon as possible? That the national government claims exclusive Jurisdiction nd exercises supreme control over all navigaoie wa terways? And therefore That it depends entirely on the con riM of the United States whether the work of creating a great national system of waterways shall be done at all ,and how soon It shall be nnlsneoT That the Tote of the member of con gress from your district will help to decide the policy of the government with regard to waterways? That the action of congressmen is Influenced by th wishes of their con stituents, when they know what those wishes are? That you have the right to ask ths candidates for congress in your dis trict to state their position on this question now, before the election? That you are blind to your own In terests if you do not ask your candi dates to pledge themselves to work and vote for waterways If elected, and then demand of the one who Is elects ed that he shall keep his pledge? The facts and figures given in this series of articles have been submitted In the hope that those who read them would see the Importance of the policy f waterway improvement advocated by the National Rivers and Harbors congress, and would aid in securing the adoption of that policy. How well they have served the purpose for which they were written must be left for their readers to decide. Every obstruction to the free and or-en navigation of our waterways is brake on the wheels of iudustrv.
