TIU3 OMAHA DAILY BEE: FRIDAY, MA1IC1I 28, 1903. CUMMINS STOPS MERCER PLAS Governor of Iowa Seel Danger in Removing Limit of Indebtedness. BILL FRAMED FOR BURLINGTON RAILWAY Bxeeatlve Heaarda It aa Aaalaat Pan. lie rollcy to Permit Consolidation f nallroad latereata aad Wtoee tne Meaaare. (From a Staff Correspondent.) DE3 MOINES, March 27. (Special.) Governor A. B. Cummins today lent to ths senate hla first veto message, and It wag on almost sensational In character. He disapproved of aenate (lie 13S. by Senator Molaberrr. bill to change the law In rela tlon to the Indebtedness of railroad corpor ations. The bill removes the limit of In debtedness as fixed by law and leaves It with the stockholders themselves to fix the amount of Indebtedness by a clause In the articles of Incorporation. The limit bas heretofore been $16,000 a mile, or two- thirds of the capital stock if that would permit mors than the $1,000 a mile. The bill Was avowedly Introduced and passed at the Instance of the promoters of the new Burlington Railway company, cap italized at $100,000,000, which last fall took a lease of the property of the Burlington Railroad company In Iowa and other states It waa represented that the company needed to raise mora money to pay for vast im provements In Iowa and elsewhere and It was to the Interest of the company to rata It by borrowing rather than Issuing more stock. The bill was unfortunately worded. as amended, so aa to ratae a question as to Its constitutionality. The bill passed the senate, $8 to 7, and the bouse, 67 to 13. It la generally believed that the bHl cannot be passed over the veto of the governor. When the veto message was read In the fenate It was made a special order for to morrow at 2 o'clock. Governor Cummins, in his veto message, treats first of the legality of the act, stat tag hla belief that as It was amended It Is unconstitutional aa constituting class leg islation. It was made to apply not to Iowa railroad corporations In general, but to those which have tracks In Iowa and other states. He stated his belief that this Is wrong. He then reviewed the history of corporation, legislation In Iowa and showed that no such legislation bad ever been dons la Iowa. There Is not a state of the union 'vhlch haa removed the limit of indebtedness Continuing, he concludes his message aa follows: Eilraoralaatr Legislation. The conclusion to be drawn from, the foregoing review of the legislation of the Mate upon the ouesUon is that no oornora- tlon, save Insurance companies, and that enly for a brief period, has ever been given n nunc to incur indeDteuneaa without limit and without regard to the amount ol its capital stock or the extent of Its nron rrty. it has not only been the policy of tne state or lowa, put or sunstsntiaiiy every tun in me union, to restrict in some man ner and some degree the liabilities of it oornor&tlons. I have examined the const! tutlons and statutes of manv states, and '. have not aa yet found a state that haa eon ferred upon its corporations the unlimited tight to Incur Indebtedness. Under the policy to which I have referred Iowa h lone well. Her railroad systems are many i--nd extensive. They have been success fully constructed and profitably operated, n.nU, so far as I know, It haa never before een suggested that the legislation of th ntate was not liberal In Its grants of cor borate power for lawful purposes. The bill which I am examining proposes to take oft, or me nrst lime, every limitation ana con ier upon class of railway companies I jtrlvllege which, within the limits of mv In vrsttgatlon. hua no parallel In modern leg' viauun.

The old company, whlrh had oeen so prosperous, could not, either by reason of the laws of Illinois, or bv reason of what had occurred In the purchase of Its oy ine two Minnesota companies, create the volume of indebtedness which hose who were Interested desired te create. It was, therefore, necessary to add another corporation, and Iowa was chosen tor lis domicile, it is a matter 01 common nowledge that the new company, with an Insignificant amount of capital stock, ac tually taken, has leased the entire system of the old company. It must be true that is without substantial assets, save the lease, and with the rental attached to the lease Its value, If anything. Is purely spec ulative. In this situation It seeks the power to Incur Indebtedness without limit. 11 m one ining to srra.ni to railway com panies the rla-ht to borrow the money needed to aid In the construction and equip ment or their lines or railway: it la quite another thins; to authorize a class of rail way companies to Incur unlimited obliga tions without respect to the amount of their stock or the worth of their property.

Executive officials of western roads In charge of traffic have informed their passenger representatives that the Injunction Issued by Judges Oros cup and Phillips are broad enough to in. elude passenger trsfflo and that therefore no cut rates will bs tolerated. This order was Issued, It is said, after consultation with general counsel, who stated that there was so doubt that under the terms of the order psssenger business was Included. It Is understood that It bo more suits are begun Until the present in junctions are argued, the officlsls of ths fourteen roada now under federal restraint will take pains to bring to the notice of the Interstate Commerce commission any violation of the law so that criminal pro ceedings may be Instituted.

Organisation politics Is bubbling tn the Omaha Typographical union, and although the annual election will not take place un til May 27, the candidates are lining up their friends and making a campaign as warm as any ever held In the union. The principal contest Is over the election of delegates to the convention of the Inter national Typographical union. There are four candidates so far announced. W. S. Ripley of The Bee composing room, A. D. Email of the Reea Printing company, Frank P. Hart of the South Omaha Journal-Stock man force and W. M. Ellsworth of the World-Herald composing room. Many of the members of the union believe that Ells worth has a sort of mortgage on the place, as he was a candidate last year and came within one vote of securing the election There were rumors of a contest, but Mr. Ellsworth finally permitted the elected del egata to serve without trouble. W. S. Rip ley has a following of friends who feel cer tain that their man will be one of the dele gates. Two delegates are to be chosen. So far the News chapel seems to have a walk-away for the presidency of the organ liatlon. both of the candidates, K. S. Fisher and Charles Mathews, being employes of that office.

PAUL, Minn., March 27. summons were received ny a numoer or oi. ram railroad officials today directing them to appear la Chicago next Monday before the Interstate Commerce commissioners to an swer certain questions relative to mo transportation ef grain and grain products. The llnea Interested were those operating between Kansas City, Missouri river points and Chicago, which includes the Burling ton, Milwaukee, Great Weatern, North western aad a number of other systems. I beg to rtf more specifically to ths companies to which tills extraordinary li cense would apply. As I am Informed, vhere were, prior to October. 18. 1901. tw railway companies organised under the lawa of this state, owning or operating lines of railway In this and another state.

Thia great ayatem haa been constructed to a high point of efficiency under the law as It Is, and I have not been able to ascertain that It has been hampered or embarrassed In its work by any provision of the lowa statute, nor has it been made known to me that It proposes to Issue additional bonds or Incur addi tional indebtedness. On the contrary, I have been led to believe that the Improve ments which from time to time It Is adding to its property are made from Its earnings. I am, therefore, of the opinion that there i no necessity for the bill under consid eration In order to enable either of theae syatema to be operated more economically or more safely. If there were such neces sity It Is manifest that the proper and nat ural amendment to the statute would be to enlarge the rights of all railway companies ora-unlxed under the laws of this state to liaue bonds for the Improvement or the l.etterment of railways, instead of wholly removing every limit and safeguard rs-enectina- the creation of Indebtedness. In view of these conditions, which are well known and are a part of the history of tha state, I cannot resist tne peuer mat tne real application of the proposed amend ment would not be to enable the two or three railway companies to which It would apply to improve their properties for their own profit and for the advantage of the .people, but that Its only substantial effect would he to overcome real or Imaginary difficulties growing out of the purchaae of the stock; ol tne cnicago, tiurnngion Mertallty rttatiatlea.

True, these eive temporary relief, but the cavities and passages of the head and the bronchial tubes almost immediately fill up again with mucus. Taking cold is the first step towards Catarrh, for it checks perspiration, and the poisonous acids and vapors, which should pass off through the skin, are thrown back upon ine mucous memDrane or inner skin, producing muam tuation and exoessive flow of mucus, much of which is absorbed into the blood, and through the circulation reaches every part ol the system, involving the Stomach, Kidneys and other parts of the body. When the disease assumes the dry form, the breath becomes exceedingly foul, blind ing headaches are frequent, the eyes red, hearing affected and a constant ringing in the ears. No remedy that does not reach the polluted blood can cure Catarrh. S. S. S. expels from the circulation all offensive effete matter, and when rich, pure blood is again coursing through the body the mucous membranes become healthy and the skin active, all the disagreeable, painful symptoms disappear, and a permanent, thorough cure is effected. S. S. S. being a strictly vegetable blood purifier does not deranee the Stomach and digestion, but the appetite and general health rapidly improve under its tonic effects.
