course. But i'm order to prevent
Counties from being saddled with
unnecessary expense it might per-
haps be we'll enough to provide that
no Township shall vote more than
twice on the same question in one
year.
The Hawkeye argues that, as Iowa
already has 3, l44 miles of Railroad
standing now the sixth Railroad
State in the Union), and as taxation
is already so heavy in the State,
therefore this Law should be repealed
forthwith. a brief answer to this
is, that no matter how many Rail-
roads some portions of the State may
have, there are other portions which
have none but which need Railroads
mere and more all the time. And
the more Railroads there are in the
State, the harder it is to get new
one in some particular place where
needed; and therefore the more rea-
son there is that Townships should
be allowed to tax themselves for this
purpose, since they cannot raise SUN
cient means in any other way. And
further: The present. Law 1ST0) is
not binding en- the whole people,
compelling all to vote Tax. Those
Townships which do not want to
vote Tax can let it alone. The Law
does not hurt them any. If we in
1 Knoxville Township have voted all
I the Tax we want, why should we
try to take away from the people oi
Red Rock Township the privilege o.
furthering their own interests in like
), manner if they see fit? If they de
ceive themselves, they themselves
and not we, must suffer the conse
quences.
! But we have not space, even If WE
had the ability, to argue the whole
matter here. The principle
Of allowing Townships to vote aid tt
Railroads has been twice pronounced
by the Legislature, has been twice
sustained by the Supreme Court, ano
has been endorsed by the people. II
may not indeed be considered as s
permanent policy. Iowa is now in
condition of development. When
this line Of action is no longer neces
sary or advisable, let it be dropped
But let it now have q fair and equa
trial by all who want to avail them
selves of it. Our voice would d.
given most emphatically against th'
repeal of the Law. 1t might bt
well, probably, to pass a Declaratory
f Act, clearly repeating the Law oi
1868 tnow held valid by the Supreme
Court, and setting forth that the in
tent of the present Law is that the
aggregate amount of aid voted III
any Township for all Railroads, in
all time-or say in any decade-sha!l
not exceed five per cent. las the said
intent is reasonably clear from the
wording of the Law, though perhaps
not absolutely and sufficiently so;
and some further slightamendments
might perhaps be profitably made,
as careful observation and experience
may show them to be advisable.
But let us hold fast to the main fea-
lures of the present Law for at least
a sufficient time yet to enable the
people of the whole State to use it as
much as they want. 1t will be time
enough to repeal it when the people
of the whole State, or majority OF
of them, shall have SO demanded.

bles was announced as one of the
Special Committee on Public Libra
ries.-The House refused, by vote
of % yeas to 65 nays, to 60 into Joint
Convention with the Senate for the
election of State Printer and other
officers. This action of the House, as
we understand 1t, shows emphatic
opposition to the present plan Of
having the State Printing done. Mr..
Keables voted in favor of the Joint
Convention, and Mr.. Durham against
it; from which we understand that
the former gentleman approves OF
the present State Printing system,
and the latter thinks there is "A better
way.-Among the bills introduced
were several to amend the Code
one to prevent Jurors from drinking
intoxicating liquors-and one to al
low County Auditors to acknowledge
