Eagle Lake, which drains into the st.

which has its outlet into the east

only by strip of land about three
quarters of mile wide. The country
around Eagle Lake is covered with
heavy spruce and pine timber, owned
by Maine men, and it is desirable to get
this timber to Bangor, where 1t will
sell for higher prices than on the st.

IOWA OPINIONS AND NOTES.

May the members be wise as ser
penis and harmless as doves, suggests
lhe Oelwein Register in referring to
legislative consideration of the wom-
an suffrage question.
AS to Senator Healys bill to pre-
vent the collection of taxes by ferrets.
which provides that no action for
omitted taxes may be brought except
within the year the assessment should
have been made, the Sac Sun notices
that opinion is divided as to the
propriaty of the law permitting the
recovery of taxes on property omitted
from assessment, but on the whole the
probability is that public sentiment
would sustain the present law" 1t is
confident the present law will result
in the listing of more personal prop
erty with the assessor.
Perry Chief Reporter: The Iowa
legislature up TO date has done nothing
remarkable. 1t it continues to act thus
SenSibly, 1t VIII be remarKapie.
The Odebolt Chronicle approves SEN
ator Garst In believing that the State
University ought to have an appropri
alton of S250,00O: and 1t adds. we
think like amount should be appro-
priated for Iowa's representation at
the st. Louis exposition"
Discussing Senator Harriman's re-
districting plan, the Hampton Chron-
icle declares every county in the state
Is entitled to member of the legisla-
ture. They are now only entitled to
it from the standpoint of right and
justice, but it would save a whole lot
of strife and turmoil in counties that
are now districted together"
Grundy Republican: The legislature
will probably redistrict the congress
sional districts of Iowa before adj
journment. Such scheme will have
a tendency to down some of the old
congressman. The new districts will
look upon them as carpet baggers'
and justly so.

LOCAL OPTION IN NEW YORK.

II might be expected that an old
and experienced community like New
York City would have long ago found
a satisfactory solution for its liquor
problem, but such is not SO. With the
advent Of a reform administration Pc
culiar conditions arise. Mayor Low
is pledged to give the city clean gov
eminent, but the provisions of the
New York state liquor laws are so
drastic that If the laws are enforced
the reform administration will be
swept from office by the German vote
at the very next election. Mayor Low
has before him the choice of enforcing
a bad law and certain destruction OF
his usefulness or disregard for the
law and continuance in power where
he may do a great deal of good for
the city.
To get around the difficulty the sug
gestion has been made to amend the

effect of this would be TO throw all
Of the saloons open on the Sabbath az
they would easily and quickly add the
restaurant feature to their business.
II seems that the present law allows
hotels to sell liquors on Sunday which
has given rise to numerous sham no.
tells which harbor all kinds of vice and
exist solely to evade the law.
The mayor faces the problem more
squarely and suggests that the state
law be so amended as to allow local
option in each of the borroughs and to
provide for special spring elections
every few years. divorced from all 9TH
er elections when the liquor question
can be decided by the citizens Of the
community affected. It would undoubt-
eddy be much better for the citizens OF
New York il their liquor problems
could be settled at home by each bor-
rough itself the same as the Iowa
mulct law allows each county or in
corporated town to settle its problem.
New York citizens should come out to
Iowa and see how this difficult prob
lens are handled.

Americans as Book Buyers.

Probably over 100000 novels. 5.000,-
900 educational works and 100000
nursery books have been sold to the
American people during the present
Year, and altho no one of the 50,000,000
readers may be any the better, each one
of those 100000 volumes has cost
from 10 TO 20 cents In hard cash for its
material and workmanship, and dis
tributed two or three million solid dol
lars to the support of paper mills,
printing plants binderies and wagon
drivers; while the profit on each. of a
double sum, has paid the salaries oil
thousands of educated. clerks, book
keepers, artists. authors and statesmen.
The fact of the matter Is, then, not
that publishing is an immaterial and

COURT REPORTERS PAY.

AT the request of the court reporters
of Iowa Representative B. F. Cum
nings, of Marshall county, has intro
duced bill intended to establish the
compensation of court reporters at a
salary of $1,000 year instead of the
per diem of So now paid. Iowa's per
diem for court reporters is the lowest
with the one exception OF the state of
Maine of all states in the union Near
~ all per diems being $40, many states
paying salaries from $1,000 per year to
$4,000.
The court reporter has become a
most important functionary in the
court machinery of this country. The
wheels of justice might run without
him, but their speed is often governed
by him and the accuracy of his work is
a most important desideratum in mod
crn court work. The per diem plan OF
compensation is a poor one at best.
Unless established at very high rate
# is unfair to the reporter and then is
cften unfair to the county. A court
reporters duties are so eXact1ng that
he has to be an expert of marked abil-
