HO WDES MOINES EXPANDED

A T ARAGON TUESDA Y NIGHT
Visitors Invited to
Tell How City
Grew.
"Den Moines does things.”
That’s what that hustling, enterprls
Ing bunch of business mep from the
Iowa city have said since they have
been In Atlanta to get the next conven
tion of the Brotherhood of Railway
Trainmen,
And they cAn deliver the goods.
But what Is particularly Interesting
to Atlanta at the present time Is that
one of the first things Dea Moines did
when It started out to be a great city
of the middle West was to expand.
It annexed surrounding suburbs, and
as a result the people In the suburbs are
happy and so are the folks who were
not In th* suburbs.
This expansion was commenced
about ten years ago, when the four or
five suburbs were annexed. Since that
time the paved streets ‘have been ex
tended to these suburb* and these same
suburbs are now. right In town with
the best of school facilities.
One of the prominent Dea Moines
men In town Is former Congressman
Butler and at the smoker to be given
Tuesday night, at th* Aragoit, by • the
Chamber of Commerce, for the discus
sion of Greater Atlanta, he will tell
about one. of-the first things Des
Moines did—expand.
“There was some opposition at first,”
says Mr. Butler, ’but after the city lim
its were enlarged and the people who
were annexed got the pubile schools,
they were delighted. < Now, you can not
find anybody who regret* the expan-,
slon. The school feature was one of
the most Important. We wanted It
possible for the man working for a
salary to live far enough out of the city
to buy a home cheaply and at the same
time have the advantages of the Des
Molnea schools for the children.
"The school* were the first thing
gained by the annexed cltlsens and Im
mediately afterward they had Are pro
tection, water, paved streets and sew
er*. Their taxes were Increased but lit-
tie, and this Increase waa nothing com
pared to the benefits they received. So
great have these benefits become that
everybody Is now glad that Pea Moines
expanded.”
At the present time Des Moines, al
though not as large as Atlanta In pop
ulation, occupies a space of nine miles
by six miles and there are trolley lines
and interurban lines ell over the city.
There are 110 miles of paving, 140
miles of sewers, 00 miles of electric
railways and Interurban lines to the
north, south, east and west.
“Not only did expansion help the peo
ple,” continued Mr. "Butler, "but It was
a big boost for Dea Moines. From a
small city in one census, we Jumped to
a large one end the people of the world
saw we were growing. That brought
more people and It kept us before the
public. It showed the world that Dee

SHE CASE
WON AT EAST
Supreme Court De
cides Longstanding
Suit.
STILL PENDING
IN U. S. COURTS
Savannah Stove Rate Suit
Has Extended Over
Several. Years.
Any Individual In Georgia has the
right to compel any railroad to accept
shipments to points within the state
on stoves, under the rates promulgated
In the. famous circular 309 of the Geor
gia railroad commission.
So decided the supreme court Tues
day morning In the case of the South- ,
ern Railway Company vs. the Atlnnta j
Stove Works. This definitely deter- ,
mines one Important point, at least, In
the now celebrated light In the courts,
which began In the summer of 1905.
There Is still pending In the Federal
court the Issue of the temporary In
junction ngalnst the state ot Georgia,
granted by Judge W. T. Newman. The j
decision of tbe supreme court In tho I
mandamus proceedings, brought by the
Atlanta Stove Works, to compel the
Southern railroad to accept a shipment.
under the rate set forth In circular 309, I
ts not affected by or dependent upon
the Federal case.
Stove People Win Out.
The decision of the supreme court
waa written by Justice Evans, and the
court held that Inasmuch ns tho de
fendant nvorretj that It declined to put
Into effect the commission's order, tha
actual tender of tho articles was not
necessary, and denial that such wna
not done failed to raise a defensive
Issue of facts.
It la held further that an attack on
the unreasonableness of an Individual
rate, without reference to Its relation
to the whole body of rates, raised no
defenslvo Issue of facts. Tho existence
of the temporaiy Injunction In the Fed
eral court stands' ns no bar to the peti
tioner for prosecuting the remedy lying
In a.mandamus.
The Federal Injunction, In the Inte
rim, affords no sufficient reason for
staying mandamus proceedings or de
nying tho Issuance of mandamus abso
lute. Tills decision means a great deal
to the stove-makers ot Georgia, as the
rate under circular 309 Is very much
lower than that now obtaining.
