THE IOWA VOTER.
A. F. Sperry. Editor.
Judge Cole Restgning.

Judge c. c. Cole, of the State Su.
preme Bench, assured Gov. Stone
last week that he had come to the
full determination to resign his seat
in January. His term would expire
Dec. 81, 1876. The reason for his
resignation he stated to be, that he
could not afford to retain the office
longer, the salary being inadequate
to the proper support of his family.
Thus, while Democratic speakers and
journals rave about the excessive sal
aries of Iowa officials, the State is to
be deprived OF the services Of one
the very ablest and best of its SUI
preme Judges, for the sole reason
that he cannot afford longer to retain
the Office. He will return to his
legal practice in Des Moines. The
entire Bar of the State will regret
tn is determination.

A correspondent of the Jefferson
Bee argues ut length that the Schoo!
Laws of Iowa should be changed in
two or three respects. Let the Sub
Director system be abolished, he
says, and elect six Directors i'm each
Township, at the general elections,
to serve for all the Schools in the
Township-arranging their terms So
that there shall be but two elected
each year. Pay them for their serv-
Ices. Make some better provisions
for securing better and more able
County Superintendents. And en-
force more strenuously the law which
requires Directors to consult the
County superintendent respecting
new schoolhouses, &c. These sug-
gestions are worthy Of consideration.
There is doubtless room for many
improvements in our School Laws,
to the great advantage Of the people.

In recent article under the above
heading, the Gate city speaks Of the
general grumbling in regard to rail-
roads, that finds expression before
the meeting of every Legislature.
1t doubts the efficiency of any secret
organization in this matter; and 1t
Mys:
We also doubt the good or the pro-
priety of these Wholesale and indeti-
mite denunciations Of railroad cor
pOrations; this periodic war-whoop
for "a legislative raid without object
or method Of attack. This, too, by
papers that are constantly trying to
get more railroads built to their
town; and by men who are hard al
work to get a railroad built to and
thn,ugh their locality. IL ID simply
demagoguery, and demagOguery Of
the worst and most dangerous kind,
10 try to arouse q needless public
hostility against any necessary and
legitimate business of the country,
simply because Ii has the strength Of
consolidated capital. Yetmany men
do this. And because Of their fierce
phillipics against railroads, their ad-
miring neighbors take them UP and
send them to the Legislature. When
they get there they find that while
scoiding may be indefinite, law-ma-
king must be definite. So having
all along scOlded without definitely
thinking as to what could he done or
should be done, they go back home
Mt the end Of the session with moth
ing done; and then their late admir-
ing constituency denOunce them rs
having been bought up by the rail
road lobby. This is mere child's
play.
expresses the desire that what
is really done should be done consid-
erately, and with view tO the fu-
ture; and adds:
To this end there are certain fund
amentals that should never be lOst
sight of. The first Of these IL the
constant and specific assertion Of the
sovereignty Of the State over the
railroad franchise, rs over every
other franchise, and its right to reg
Mate and control 1t.
Next In order OF importance we
consider IL that the State shall not
construe It's right of Eminent Domain
anv more severely against the citizen
in the case Of railroads than In the
case of anything else. And the right
of the citizens on this score should
he asserted and enforced specifically
and fully. =. .
The constant just application to
railroads Of the principle OF equal
taxati0n. =.
The constant discrimination az to
railroads N a public benefit, and AZ
nm instrument Of personal pecuniary
profit, to prevent the use OF It's iran
cbise by a railroad company, In the
stead OF the State, and under the
guise Of public benefit, tn tax the
property Of the citizens for private
profit. ,a
As careful protection OF railroad
property as any other property; ~
lust and liberal policy towards u as
towards any other corporal interests.
A further great need ~ a system
Of railway legislation and interpreta-
tion commensurate with the railway
system itself. At present there are
state and local legislatures and courts
to make and interpret law for 2 sys-
tenn that raInifies to all parts OF the
country, and il essentially natiOnal.
