principles Of the democratic national
! platform adopted at Kansas City, July
S, 1900, and without surrendering our
convictions or abating our loyalty to
our national policies, we believe this
campaign to be particularly one that
should be confined to state issues.
Resolved, That the fundamental
principle of democracy, equal rights
to all and special privileges to none, >
applies in full force to the subject OF
taxation. The democratic party be-
lieves that the burden OF taxation
should be borne equally by all taxable
property. We pledge the mem bers of
the general assembly to formulate
and urge the adoption of such a law
as will compel the burdens of taxation
to rest on corporate and Individual
property alike, without favor or ex-
emptiOn OF any interests.

IOWA STATE NEWS.
TIE BoNAPARrE DAM.
Fishermen Want the State to buy tho
Property and Blow II Up
with Dynamite.

Fishermen Of all degrees ia Iows
are interested in tho Bonaparts dam
scross the Des Motnoa river, owned
by the Meek Bros, of Bonapar.e.
They bought II 30 years ago from
ths state for 500. They hove paid
the oost Of keeping It in repair since
then. Had they not bought IL the
state would have been out the cost.
They have offered TO take $4,000 for
1t, but this the state has never been
willing to pay. The Meek Bros.
were in Des Moines recently and
limited that 1t was doubtful If they
would now take the 100000 at which
they once offered it. 1t has been q
matter of serious and repeated eff
forts on the part of the fishermen
and the state itself to secure the
condemnation and removal of the dam
as q nuisance under the various laws
affecting distinctions in streams, but
no suits begun against the Meeks
have ever been successful. It is prac-
tically certain that if the dam is ever
removed 1t will have to be bought
first by the state at the price deter
mined on by the owners irrespective
of the figures placed on it by the
state. They control he situation and
and are determined to exercise all
their rights. Fishermen are inter-
ested because they claim the exist
ence of the dam absolutely prevents
good fish from coming up the Des
Moines river, shutting out all the
country and towns north of Bona
parte from their just due of Missis-
sippi river fish. An effort will be
made by fishermen to get the legisla.
turc to buy the dam and blow 1t up
with dynamite.

CABINET MEETS.
President Roosevelt Asks Members
to Retain Their Positions
Throughout His Term,

Washington, Sept. 1s.-President
Roosevelt at three o'clock Tuesday
convened his first cabinet meeting
held In Washington. At this meet
ing the president asked the mem.
bers Of Mr.. McKinley's cabinet to re-
tain their respective portfolios
throughout his term and announced
that HE administration would follow
the policy outlined by President Mo-
Kinley in his. Buffalo speech. After
the obsequies over the late presi-
dent, the cabinet, at President Roose-
velt's request, assembled at the resi-
dence of Commander Cowles, where
the president is staying until after
the funeral, principally for the pur-
pose of informing their new chief
of the state of affairs in their re-
spective departments. The presi-
dent desired to learn if there were
any matters of moment requiring his
attention before his departure for
Canton. He was assured that there
was nothing of pressing Importance.
The president then addressed his
advisers collectively, as he had pre-
viously done individually, requesting
them all to retain their respective
positions in his cabinet. Mr.. Roose-
welt expressed the hope and expecta-
tion that every member would serve
throughout his term, for, he said, he
rendered the appointments as if he
had just been elected to the presi-
dency and was forming an original
cabinet. The president said, how
ever, there was one difference be-
tween the present tender and that of
an original offer, namely, under the
present circumstances they were not
at liberty to decline. Upon being
asked by a member if designations
should be formally presented in the
usual manner, the president answered
| that his action at this meeting had
precluded the necessity OF presenting
designations.
The discussion turned upon the
policy of the administration, and Mr..
Roosevelt announced that he re-
] garded the speech of tht late presi-
| dent at the Buffalo Pan-American ex-
position, the DAY previous to the
tragic shooting, as outlining the pol
icies to be followed by the adminis-
tration. 1t cannot be learned at this
| time whether OF not the members will
| be willing to serve the full term.
