IOWA OPINIONS AND NOTES.

| In noticing the discrepancy between
the assessed value and selling value of
lands, the Traer ar-Clipper says:
THE assessors seem to persist in as
sessing farms as they did ten or firteen
years ago. We recently showed that
the assessment in this county was on a
basis OF $40 to s12 per acre. The law
says it shall be at one fourth its actual
Tama county farms are paying taxes
today on a valuation of from $40 10 $4S
per acre. The same farms sell readily
at SIS to 500. Thus the assessment is
about half as large as it ought to be.
So glazing has became this discrepancy
that newspapers over the state are
showing it up and reform will surely
be brought about soon.''
Referring to Gov. Summins' position,
that the commercial value of railroads
should be ascertained as nearly as pos
sible for the purpose Of taxation, the
Sac Sun declares THAT common sense
view will find approval among the
people, who have confidence that the
governor possesses the necessary
knowledge as we'll as the desire TO do
his duty in the matter OF taxing the
great corporations
The shrewdest feature of the rail-
way case is their showing rs to the
great drop in assessed valuation Of real
estate below the legal basis of % per
cent" observes the Spirit Lake Beacon
in speaking of the railway lawyers be-
fore the executive council.
Thet Sioux City Tribune says: "Hon.

procity and tariff revision and that the

Brindimour, with the Bennett -Moul-
ton Stock Co., which will be at the
Colonial theatre this week, and he
gave some almost startling exhibitions
at Police headquarters here Monday
morning. .
He called at Police headquarters,
told who he was, and asked for some
handouts. He was secured in diff
ferent kinds they have at Police
headquarters. Then he would 20 into
the little side room, remain there for
few seconds and return and hand
the cuffs which he had slipped off
very dexterously, to the officer who
locked them on bim. The same thing
was done with handouts at the
county Jail.

ton with cards and coins while the
Mayor, the; Chief of Police and others
stood around and watched.

New York. Nov. 10.--A Washington
dispatch to the Press, is as follows:
Roosevelt and Foraker for 1904.
Arthur Pue German most likely to
be President Roosevelt's opponent.
James s. Sherman, Of New York,
for Speaker of the House In the Fifty
eighth Congress.
Frank s. Black for United states
Senator to succeed Thomas G. Platt.

trust question have abandoned all in.

nomination for second term in the
Republican National convention. From
now on their efforts will be directed
toward obtaining control of the DEM
ocratic National convention that a
candidate like Arthur p. German may
be nominated and receive their sup
port in the campaign.
Senator Hanna, it is said, after
studying the situation, has reached
the conclusion that he will have no
part in any attempt to prevent Presi-
dent Roosevelt's nomination. much
less become candidate himself Sem
ator Foraker has been in close accord
with the Roosevelt Administration
from its beginning, and the large Re-
publican vote in Ohio on last Tuesday
has indticed his friends to believe that
he will be the logical candidate for
Vice President two years hence. 1t is
said Senator Foraker will make the
race if the party leaders and the Pres
l ident wish him to do so.
Those who pretend to know some-
thing of the present relations between
Hanna and Foraker say that Hanna
will not object to having Foraker thus
honored, and that an understanding
to that effect already has been reach

pack mules laden with blankets such
as the New McXiCans make 10y hand

II was their custom to rake these
trips every year to barter their goods
fui such fabrics as they needed at
home. For "A series of years they were
accustomed to make these excursions
south for trading purposes Hitherto
nothing had occurred to mar the Sc
rcuity OF their travels. until they ar
rived at this point which was then
nothing more than an ugly mesquite
jungle. well adapted FOR an Indian am
