minority report. Mr.. Butler fol-
lowed the reading by a short
and decisive address in favor of the
Kansas City platform and free silver.
ID. w. Hamilton, Of Sigourney, at
the close of Mr.. Buffers remarks Of
fered a second minority report in
which it was declared tnat the state
issues were paramount though none
OF the principles of the national plat
form should be repudiated.
Walt. Butler Immediately rose to
point Of order declaring that Il
second minority report could not be
adopted. He was sustained by the
chair, ana vote on Buffers substi-
tute was declared in order and ballot
ing began after order had been re-
stored. The majority report follows:
We, the democrats of Iowa. In convention
assembled, do hereby declare ana adopt the
following declaration of principles:
'Resolved. That the fundamental principle
ciai prvers en noa r'sn nn TO IN, f m fo sps
to the subject of taxation, The democratic
party believes that the burdens OF taxation
should he borne equally by all taxable prop
erty. We pledge our members of the gen
erhi assem- 1iv to formulate and urge the
adoption of such n law as Will compel the
burdens of taxation to rest on corporate and
individual property alike without favor or
exemption of any interests
ton OF state affairs. the repeal of the mulct
law, the enactment OF local option law.
the abolition of the offices of state printer
and state binder and the contracting for
supplies for the state with the lowest re-
sponslblc bidder.
I'VE cordially invite all honest men of
the state to unite with us in securing the
enactment of these principles into law
The minority report was the same
as the majority report, with the fol-
lowing preamble:
We. the democrats of Iowa. in convention
assembled, hereby rcatiirm tho principles Of
the democratic national platform adopted
at Kansas City July D. 1900. and without
surrendering our, convictions or abating our
loyalty to our nationa. policies. we believe
this campaign to be particularly one that
should be confined to state issues.
The second minority report, de-
clared out of order, was as follows:
assembled. make the following declaration
Of principles

sues are paramount while not rctracting or
rcpudiating any past declarations of the

The motion to substitute the mi

port carried by vote of $50 SIS to
$50 %.
adoption of the Butler substitute,
Judge Wade moved to substitute for
the preamble Of the platform as
amended the Quick resolution pre-
sented by Mr.. Hamilton. The chair
Iowa state bystander. [volume] (Des Moines, Iowa) 1894-1916, 1901-08-23

ruled that the motion could not be
entertained since it proposed sub
stitute for substitute. Pandemo-
mum immediately reigned. Men We're
on their feet endeavoring to con-
vince the chair that the subs tltute
having been adopted became the re-
port OF the amendment and was sub
Jcct to amendment, adoption or re-
lection by the convention. Other
motions similar to Judge Wade's were
offered but unheeded. During the.
discussion some one moved to pro-
ceed with the nomination of a candl-
date for governor. The motion was
put and carried. Then the discussion
of Judge Wade's motion was resumed.
f. NJ. Sharon gained the chairs at.
tention and after insisting on the ap.
propriateness of the motion, renewed
it. The chair then announced his final
decision 1t was that the Butler sub
stitutc, having been adopted, it be-
came the platform of the convention.
Final action had been taken and it
could only be tampered with through
a motion to reconsider. Mr.. Sharon
insisted that substitute had simply
been adopted for the original report
and that the report as amended
through the substitute had never
been adopted by the convention. The
chair held to his ruling and Mr..
Sharon appealed. The point of order
was then raised that business had
interviewed, that the convention had
voted to proceed with the nomina-
ton of candidate for governor and
thai nothing else could be taken up.
The point of order was sustained.
Before the nomination Of a candi-
date for governor was begun Cato
Sells gained the floor. He asked:
unanimous consent to present reso-
luton to the convention. There
cries of mo- no" Mr.. Sells then
explained that his resolution dealt
with the taxation question, but the
delegates persisted in refusing him
a hearing and he retired with his
manuscript in his hands.
The committee then proceeded to
the nomination of a ticket. Judge
Caldwell Of lama county nominated
II. j. Stigcr Of Toledo, and John Il.
Lewis Of Ottumwa nominated Thorn
as j. Phillips, former mayor of OF
tlrlwa. The first ballot resulted:
Phillips. 526; Stiger. 562: Weaver, 20;
Redmond, 10; Ball, 10. On the second
ballot Phillips was nominated by a
vote of 1851 to 1891 for Stiger.

This is evidenced if in no other way by the
increased selling value, of the stocks of rail-
roads. According to the report of the Chi
cago. Rock Island & Pacific Hallway com.
pany in 1899 to the Inter State Commerce
commission the funded debt of the Rock
Island amounted to $o2,OS9 per mile, and
the stock outstanding to. s17,O75 mile.
This stock worth few days ago on

would make the value of the road, accord
ing to the ordinary method Of assessing
property, SCI, 974 per mile. It is said that
the G.. r |. & ?. Railway, company is one
the ear Of the executive council.
"'rhe valuation of individual property of
the state has steadily increased during the
past ten years. The railway assessment
has decreased from $3.50 in 1891 to s5,O42
per mile in 1900 taxable value. while the
earnings have increased from S4522 per
mile in 1891 to $5.6O7 in 1900 There can
be no excuse for this except the favor of
the executive council charged with the as
sessment of corporate property.

"EX- Senator Edmunds says: UNEQUAL

of all forms of tyranny The people OF this
state agree with him. Just government
