STOCKMEN AFTER A REFUND
Believe They Have Been Overcharged
by Chicag-o Stock Yards.
PREPARE TO SUE FOR THE CASH
Railway Commission liar In- Trouble
Secnrlnsr Fnrts on Which to
Establish Troposed Joint
Rate.
(From a BtaT Correspondent.)
DE3 MOINES. June 17. (Special.) A
short paragraph of but a few lines In one
of the farm papers of this state Is the first
Indication that suit Is about to be started
to recover millions cf dollure) from the
railroads for excessive terminal charges at
the ChtcRCO stock yards. The suit I to be
stnrted by the Corn Belt Meat Producers'
association, the officers nnd hefldqut.vters
of which are located In this stat- This
organization proposes to recover at least
one-half of the terminal charges on every
car of stock that has been delivered to the
Union stock yards since August 15, 19(0.
H. C. Wallace, of this city, who Is secre
tary of the Corn Belt Meat Producers' as
sociation, Is furnishing blanks to the
farmers and shippers on which they are
asked to make out the statement of the
shipments of stock with the charges for
shipping. The shipments of stock from
Iowa alone In the seven years covered
have been enormous, and to recover one
half tho charges for terminal switching at
Chicago means a gigantic undertaking.
This step, however, Is only one In the
fight of the Corn Belt Meat Producers for
what they claim Is fair treatment at the
hands of the railroads. It is learned that
tho cost of bringing In witnesses and hiring
attorneys, and other expenses of taking the
case of the rate on live stock to the Iowa
railroad commission amounted to about
$1,800 to the association. This was paid
from membership fees and other sources of
Income, and the officers are now gathering
In money preparatory to the fight In the
courts to recover the excessive terminal
charges which they claim has been col
lected for the past seven years at Chicago. t
It Is anticipated that the cost of this latter
will be considerably greater. The associa
tion, however. Is composed of farmers and
stock shippers of means, and It Is pre
sumed that the money will bo forthcom
ing. Cannot Get Facta.
Tomorrow the members of the Iowa Rail
road commission will leave on a tour of
Inspection of the property of the Milwaukee
railroad, the first Inspection tour that the
commission has made of railroad prop
erties In years. It Is proposed to Inspect
each line In turn. The commission will be
absent the entire week on that mission and
not till June 24 will It again take up the
question of Joint freight rates.
The deeper the commission gets Into
the Joint freight rate problem the more
Its members become convinced that It has
a difficult task before It to put In a Joint
rate with the Iowa distance tariff. One
member of the commission said today that
there were five dlfforent methods of put
ting In a Joint rate, all attended by great
difficulties, and that since the hearings
started he had changed his mind three
times as to the method to adopt and was
now not sure which method would be best.
The railroads started out to ask that
the rate be 80 per cent ' of, the two locals
and they Induced the State Manufacturers'
association to ask for Hhe same thing.
When the hearings opened,' however, the
railroads had discovered that there were
objections to the 84 per" cent Idea and
James C. Davis of the Northwestern, who
acted as spokesman, particularly attacked
the SO per cent Idea and asked the com
mission not to adopt any blanket rate.
Members of the railroad commission state
that they are well aware that the railroads
do not wish to have any Joint rate put
In and thoir efforts thus far have been
directed to keeping the commission from
putting In any Joint rates. They have ar
gued against Joint rates rather than to
furnish facts to the commission. Mem
bers of the commission are complaining
that the railroads will not give them In
formation and one commissioner said today
that the commission might have to arbi
trarily establish a schedule of Joint rates
as an experiment In order to ascertain the
facts on which to base a schedule. '
At one of the recent hearings Commis
sioner Eaton called upon Attorney Ham
lin of the Burlington railroad. Mr. Ham
lin began by arguing against Joint rates
when Commissioner Eaton cut him off with
the statement that the legislature had set
tled for the time the question of putting
In a schedule of Joint rates by ordering
the commission to put them In and that
In addressing the commission he must con
sider that question settled and should give
the commission what facta he had. After
some delay it was Intimated to the com
mission that Mr. Hamltn had facta and
figures bearing on the rate question In his
pocket at the time, but not till he was
practically commanded by the commis
sion did he produce them. It took a like
flat order to got the attorney for the Min
neapolis & St. Louis to produce tho contract
between that road and other that have a
Joint rate agreement. But the commis
sioners complain that thoy are still In
darkness as to the subject, with the pros
pect of many weeks elapsing before they
will be able to get the schedule formu
lated. Kxaiuine Ten Thoasand Teacher.
June 26, 27 and 28 there will be 10,000 ap
plicants for teachers' licenses examined In
Iowa. This will be the largest examination
during the year,' and tho great bulk of the
teachers who have to pass examinations
before being allowed to teach will be exam
ined at that time. This will, furthermore, be
the first large examination under the new
state certificates law. It Is claimed by the
friends of the new law and those who were
largely Instrumental in getting the law
passed that there Is a systematic effort to
make teachers everywhere over the state
believe that under the new law It is al
most Impossible to pass the examination.
It la claimed that tho effort has been made
to make It appear that tho scarcity of
teachers In Iowa Is larscly due to the rigid
examinations under the new law so that
only a small per cent are able to pass the
examinations. This Impression hns been
given out over the state to such an extent
that State Superintendent Hlges has found
It necessary to Issue a statement denying
that the examinations are more rigid than
formerly. I'nder the old law the State
Hoard of Educutlonul Examiners made up
the questions that were to be used at the
examinations by the county superintend
ents. Under the new law the State Homd
still makes up tho list of questions to be
asked, and It la claimed that they are no
mure rigid than before, and that the effort
to give a false Impression to the "would
be" teachers of the state Is in the hope of
making the new luw unpopular In order to
get It repealed.

LAND DELEGATES ARRIVING
Indications Policies of Administration
In Land Matter Will Be
A n tngoniied.
DENVER, Colo., June 17. Of far-reach
lng Importance will be the public lands
convention "which will meet at the Broad
way theater Tuesday morning next and
will be In session for three days. In
formal discussions among the delegates
already on the ground leads to the con
clusion that President Roosevelt's policies
as to western land and Irrigation regula
tions will bo condemned by the conven
tion in a conservative, deliberate manner,
without mixing politics In the matter.
Two states will virtually dominate the
convention. They are Colorado and Wyo
ming. Of the 1,000 delegates from the
fourteen western state represented, Col
orado and Wyoming will hav about 42S,
and 80 per cent of these. It I declared,
will be against the administration' poli
cies with reference to the public domain,
Oregon, Idaho, Montana and Washington,
with nearly 200 delegates, will side In a
large measure with Colorado and Wyo
ming. The attendance of James R. Garfield,
secretary of the Interior; R. A. Balllngcr,
commissioner of the general land office;
Gilford Plnchot, chief foreBter; D. A.
Newell, director of the reclamation ser
vice, and J. A. Holmes of the geological
survey, representing the federal admin
istration, I assured.
Senator C D. Clark of Wyoming, who
fought the president's land policies on the
floor of the senate at Washington, arrived
here last night. He will take a leading
part In the deliberation of the conven
tion. :'t5S33'
