Wont Fight State Control
Des Moines reports Iowa street railway leaders will neither oppose nor back a proposed public service commission if considered next month. They say support depends on eliminating political graft and want Iowa to pay commissioners like other states. Also notes a drunkenness arrest of John Hansen and pantaloons theft from Beymer and Hendershot, with pantaloons later recovered. The piece blends a public policy stance with a local crime item and a fragment from a Christmas magazine.
