Buchanan County bulletin. [volume] (Independence, Iowa) 1869-1891, 1873-04-25

Hon. M M. Walden, of the old
Fourth Congressional District of
Iowa, has drawn the back pay to
which he was entitled by the terms
of the salary amendment, and di-
vided it among the counties of his
district, to be apportioncd to the
several school districts according to
the number of pupils in each. This
disposition of the money would
have been more to Mr.. Walden's
credit if it had been rlghtfully his
to give away.
Apropos of the action of Iowa
members regarding the back pay,
the following is Washington tele-
gram Of the 18th:
General Spinner received, yes
terday, a package of bonds from an
Iowa member, who does not want
his name made public. He took his
pay, bought bonds, cancelled them
and sent them to Gen. Spinner.
This makes fifteen, all told, who
have turned their money into the
Treasury"

honoring. But it will be remem-

honoring. But it will be remem-
bered that IN 1870 we were in our
wild days Of voting aid to railroads.
In that year the railroad aid tax
voted amounted to Sl,O77.703.39.-
The school tax of the Same year, in
Guiding 81 ,ol9,s42.19 voted by the
people for building school houses
and furnishing grounds, amounted
to 1896 ,46S.22. 1t will be seen,
therefore, that the people, who vot-
ed these onerous taxes, assumed
them of Their own motion, and that
the rate Of taxation, as made by the
State administration, put this State
as twenty-tifth. This is a record
good enough. The railroads we
subsidized, and the school houses
we builded, were special things,
and the railroad tax at least we shall
never have again in 1.-THE of that
proportion.
In the matter of debt, Iowa is
ranked as the twenty fifth State, and
in State debt as the Mirty-third.-
Delaware. Nebraska and Oregon
only have less. This is u proud
showing-indicative of thrift and
good management. In county in
debtedness, we are ranked as tenth,
and in town and city indebtedness
as eighteenth.
Taking the figures straight
through, there is no State in the
Union, of the population of Iowa,
saying nothing about the age, which
can show so clean a record here as
this State. 1t won't do to go to quot
ing general figures on Iowa for par
tisan purposes expecting to make
capital against the State, or against
the administration of the party
which has been dominant in the
State during the greatest part of its
existence. All the large debts we
have have been voted by the people
direct, as IN cities, railroad town
ships and school districts. Being
such they are the peoples own, and
politics has had and can have moth.
ing to do with them.-.Sdte Register.

Those Grange Nominations.

The Waterloo Reporter, in which
the resolutions purporting to be the
action of convention of Oranges,
recommending d. w. Adams for
the Office of Governor, and Wilkin-
son for Lieutenant Governor, were
first published, thus explains its
connection with the hoax, as it
proves to be:
The resolutions were brought to
this office by Mr.. Bradley, who
claims to have acted as Secretary
of the meeting, who asked us to
publish them. We looked them
over, and supposing that everything
was correct, agreed to give them an
insertion, and did so, without com
ment and just as they were given
us. Since then we have been in
formed that no meeting of the
Oranges was held in this city on
the day named; that no resolutions
Of the kind had been adopted at any
authorized meeting of the Oranges;
that the whole matter was a put up
job, and that we were victims Of
misplaced confidence. Leading
members of the order in this county
dcnounce the resolutions and the
Secretary in terms more emphatic
than polite, and say that he has act
ed without any authority whatever.
We now call upon Mr.. Bradley
to make an explanation of the whole
matter. He owes this to us, to the
order of which he claims to be q
member, and to the public in gener-
al. We tender him the use of the
columns of the Reporter, and hope
he will be able to extricate himself
from the unpleasant position in
which he is now placed

THE POSTAL CARDs.-The long

THE POSTAL CARDs.-The long
expected one cent postal cards will
be ready for delivery and use on
the first OF May. In the meantime
the public will doubtless be glad to
know something more definite about
them They will be for sale at
every postotfice in the country at
the one rate of one cent each, wheth-
er singly or in quantities. They
are simple card s. by inches in
size, made Of bond paper (Which is
worked together in solid mass
without pasting,) and will represent
paper, envelope and stamp. The
message written upon one side and
THE address upon the other, they are
ready for the mail without further
manipulation or trouble. The
cards will be decorated with
various designs and in two shades
of color. They are made at Spring
field Mass, the contractors agreeing
to furnish one hundred million the
first year, though orders are coming
| in so fast that the Post Master Gen
eral thinks that it will take one
hundred and thirty million to sup
|ply the demand.
There has been much speculation
concerning the success of this ex-
pertinent, and many doubts as to its
utility. Many fear that its cheap
ness and facility will be more than
balanced by the chances that the
postal cards may become the ye-
hlcles for scurrility, spleen and OBJ
scenity, but the present regulations
Of the Department and others which
may be made, will doubtless sufli-
GENTLY guard against this.

The II odoc War.

The latest news from the lava
beds is up to the 23d. Gen. Gillian
reports to Gen. Schofeld. at San
Francisco, that Captain Jack and
his band have been driven from
their first hiding place, and are now
four miles from the old stronghold
and three miles from water. Gen.
Gillian is now confident that he has
the Modocs completely in his pow
er, and that there is no chance for
their escape. Seventeen Of the war
riors have been killed in the recent
fights, and large number wounded
Among the killed are Schonchin,
the second chief, and Schaknasty
jim. The former was the Indian
who shot Commissioner Meacham,
and was wounded by him in turn.
He was killed by a shell and his
head is in the camp. A Portland
despatch states that the Indians of
the Upper Columbia, Snake and
Lewis rivers, are indulging in war
paint and making menacing demon
STATIONS.

National Convention Of PrOducers
and Consumers.

The uprising of the people of the
West to enforce the demand for re-
form in railroad management, and
redress Tor railroad extortions is
having it's influence at the east and
occurring cooperation in that quar-
fer which will be valuable and ef-
fectivo. A call has been issued for
national convention Of producers
hnd consumers, to be held in New
York on the 9th of May, to promote
by co-ope, alton the interests of
hese classes and to consider what
Ian be done to reduce the cost of
transportation by rail and water
between the West and the seaboard.
The Senate Committee on Transpor-
alton propose to be present and
axe note of the proceedings. Thus
he question of cheaper transporta-
ion is fast assuming the phase of a
.reat national issue of vast and
PRESSING Importance. No doubt
bis convention will throw such
light upon the question and the
popular demand for its prompt So
htion, that Congress will be quick
ned to act in the matter, and with
tut unnecessary delay furnish the
ountry the most effectual relief to
|e gained from legislation.

FoE a specimen Of cold blooded
Pgic without spark of philanthro-
|y or human feeling, commend us
b the following from the New York
World, with reference to the Indian
|roblem. If indeed, it had been the
ractice to sweep off the "savages"
b make room for the development
f the best races of men, it is quite
|ossible that the annexed paragraph
kould never have been written:
A tract which would support a
Iundred wretched savage hunters
you'd feed half million of happy,
prosperous civilized men, and there
|hould be no more conjunction in
weeping off the savages than in
discriminating the wolves and pan
| hers that infest the same territory,
r than a farmer feels in substitute
Ing Southdown sheep in his pastures
or scabby flock which yields mel.
her good wool nor palatable flesh.
t is as easy to multiply, by the nat.
lral powers of propagation, the bes,
aces of men as the lowest; and
here is no more sense in trying te
took this continent with inferior
ribes than there would be in stock
Ing a farm with miserable breeds o
battle.

GEN. NAT BAKER, of Des Moines,
has written letter to the Iowa City
Press favoring the election Of a
Democrat to the supreme bench of
Iowa this fall. 1t is certainly de.
sirable that our State judiciary shall
be unincumbered with political in
huences and affiliations, but Gen.
Bakers proposition only looks to
the equalization or balancing OF
these influences in the Supreme
Court. In our view better plan
would be to ignore politics altogeth-
er and elect judges solely upon their
personal merits and qualifications.
There are some doubts, however,
whether either plan would be prac-
ticable at present.

Good Iowa Figures.

From the distorted and eXagger-
ated showincs of partisan papers
and speakers the public is led to ac-
cept false Information in many inn
portant particulars. We have late
ly seen floating item to the effect
that "Iowa, young as it is, has an
unenviable rank in the official tables
Of valuation, taxation and debt" p
How untrue this is can best be
shown by reference to the census
and tax levies Of 1870, which are
the latest reliable authorities, and
the same which are pretendedly
quoted by those who would put our
State in an unenviable attitude.
Turning to such authority we find
that Iowa is the eleventh State in
population, and the ninth State in
white population. 1t is the four
teenth State in assessed valuation,
the thirteenth in assess d valuation
Of realty, the sixteenth in personal
ty, the eleventh in actual value,
which, for State just of aye, is
complimentary if anything. In tax
alton it is the twenty-fifth State in
State taxation, and this is certainly
good enough, as State. In county
taxation, it is ninth, and in town
and city taxation it is SEVENTH fig

The Peopl s Grievance.

The Chicago Inter Ocean thus
succinctly sums up the indictment
of the people against the railroad
corporations, and points out the in
evitable result of the present effort
for reform:
They claim that rates of trans
portation are exorbitant; that freight
and passenger tariffs abound in I'M
Just determinations; that the rail
ways of the country are grossly
mismanage, that their control has
passed into the hands of unscrupu-
lous adventures; that they have
debased the stocks of the different
roads by fraudulent issues to the
extent Of hundreds of millions of
dollars: that they have made cor
rupt contracts with sub-transporta-
ton companies, whereby both hon
est stockholders and the public are
swindled, and that every other in
terest in the country is taxed to pay
dividends on a vast amount Of
fraulent and void capital. This is
the indictment presented by the
people; but they are not blind Sam
sons, willing to pull down the rail
way system in their anxiety to be
rid Of its abuses. The reforms in
railway management demanded by
the people are just, and they are
susceptible of accomplishment
through the spirit and letter of the
law. There has never, in fact, been
any valid legal obstacle in the way
Of controlling railways; but rail
way managers have defeated both
law and justice 10y corrupting legis-
latures and bribing courts. These
practices must come to an end, and
the fruits Of every fraudulent enact
ment and of every purchased legal
decision will have to be surrender
ed back in some form to the people
from whom they were dishonesty
lilched- Nor will the railway mag
mates who have amasscd vast for
tunes at the sacrifice of fair deal
ing be so unwisc as were the slavery
propagandists of the South. IHeu
were governed by passion and
prejudice, rejected offered compro-
misses, drove freedom to the wall,
only in turn to suffer absolute de-
struction. The railway managers
have only property interest to
guard. Their "vcsted rights Sin
the end-depend upon the will OF
the people; they will therefore sub
NIT to the spirit of reform rather
than court that of revolution.
