(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

It la not riifflelilt If rhentr-v he mails tn
find the motive for the organization of this
company. 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.

another thins; to authorize a class of rail

I cannot bring myself to believe that this

CHICAGO, March 27. 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

ASPIRE TO JBE DELEGATES
Faer Mrs Aaalaaa to Represent
Omaha In Internatloaal Typo
graphical In Ion.
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.
Ths sitting members will probably be
elected to fill ths remaining offices unless
a contest not now announced develops be

haa been constructed to a high point of

not been able to ascertain that It has been

it been made known to me that It proposes
to Issue additional bonds or Incur addi

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

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

The treatment of Catarrh with antiseptic and astring
ent washes, lotions, salves, medicated tobacco and cigarettes
or any external or local application, Isjust as unreasonable
and senseless as would be kindling a fire on top ol the pot
to make it boil. 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. Write us about your case and get the best medical advic
