that will afford the greatest relief. II to
this could be added county superin-
ten6ent of schools, similar to those In
the cities, with analogous duties and re-
sponsibilities he believes it would rev.
olutionize our school system for good.
He favors a liberal appropriation for
the st. Louis exposition, one that would
leave no doubt in the minds Of visitors
that Iowa constitutes an important
part" OF the Louisiana purchase. The
sum set forth in his preliminary state
ment. s250,OoO, for this exhibition. would
seem to many to be high.
Governor Shaw is still of the opinion
that the salary of the chief executive
should be increased, and that the salar-
les CT all state officers are too low; and
as to bonds required of the state treas
urer and other public offices. he believes
they should be paid for by the state.
AS to equalization of railroad assess
ments, he fails back upon the recon-
they should be made at the same time
as that of other property. and that the
railroad commissioners should prinlar
lily assess the railroads, and that the
council should afterwards adjust
them.
He finds much In favor of the parole
of state criminals. The system employed
of letting them out under exacting con-
ditions has worked favorably. During
his last term he has released 201 under
conditions more or less exacting. OF this
number unfavorable reports have been
received from thirty-one and they have
been returned to prison to serve out
sentences OF the total, 155 are doing
reasonably well, ard many Of them ex-
cellently. He believes additional legisla-
ton should be had. but that the COVER
nor should exercise absolute authority
and discretion.
He approves the work of the bureau of
labor and factory inspection. AS the
sanitary conditions of many of the fac
tories examined is well nigh alarming,
he thinks the subject needs consldera-
ton by the assembly
His conclusion places Iowa high in the
scale. Her people are prosperous; dis
content is not manifest anywhere; crime
is decreasing as shown by prison rec
ords; the fair record Of the state has not
been marred by an illegal execution for
more than decade; the relations be-
tween capital and labor are exceedingly
cordial. and the outlook for Iowa is
hopeful.

GOVERNOR sHAw,s MESSAGE.

The message of the retiring executive.
| Governor Shaw. is business document
that should command the close reading
and careful study of Iowans. It is given
| elsewhere IN this issue. IT is clear and
| direct statement Of facts with. terse
comment and recommendations.
| He shows that the balance in the
| treasury Dec. 81, 1901, was $7S0,527.75. A
partial list of appropriations to be asked
for at the hands Of the legislature ag-
gregates s2S71, 500, but while he believes
| that all are needed he declares they can
not all be granted without mourning an
unwarranted Indebtedness 1t is evil
dent that there must be scaling down,
in view of other claims that may be pre-
sented
He believes, however, that our educa-
tional institutions should be literally
to compete with richly endowed eastern
universities. AS our college of agricul-
ture at Ames is, admittedly, the best of
it's class in the United States" as he
puts 1t, this fact should commend it to
the legislatures favorable consdera-
ton.
AS to additional normal schools, he
notices that the present one is over
crowded. Two years ago he recommend
ed the location of four additional
schools but the attempt which followed
to locate only one was defeated by rival
interests Inferentiafly he falls back on
that recommendation, tho he does not
openly advocate the policy.
In the matter of rural schools he is
decidedly of the opinion that reform is
needed, both as to schools and salaries
of teachers, and in pursuance OF this he
recommends central township schools.

Illinois Central and Union Pacific Said

to Be in Alliance.
According to a report that is said to
nave originated with one of the higher
Illinois Central officials at Chicago, the
traffic interests of the Illinois Central
and Union Pacific railways will be close
iy allied during the next two years. Both
roads are now considering proposed
plan by which the Union Pacific will run
its trains into Chicago over the Illinois
Central lines from Omaha and make
that road one of the great transconti-
mental railways. To do this 1t will be
necessary to double track the Central
from Omaha to Chicago, which will take
a considerable length of time
The interests of both roads are closely
allied and in the railroad world are con-
s;dered as belonging to the same syndi-
cate. The manage\s of the Union Pa
cific have long been DESTROYS of securing
an entrance to Chicago that 1t might
handle the large amount Of Asiattc
freight and thru freight from the west.

minimum compared with what a new
line would cost, both roads would great

extension Of the Central was con-
structed, the roadbed and bridges were
prepared for double track. The official

Speaking of big dams, 1t is stated that
the new Croton in New York the largest
ever undertaken by man, is 200 feet
thick at the bottom, 800 feet high from
the base of the foundation. $50 feet high
above ground, and 1000 feet long. 1t is
located three miles from Paekskill, the
top of the dam being 216 feet above tide
water and 100 feet above the reservoir in
Central Park, New York City. The stor-
age capacity is 10000, 100000 gailons.
Work has been in progress eight years

SERVANTS OF THE PEOPLE.

In an address accepting the nomina-
ton for the speakership of the house w.
L. Eaton. referring to the members of
the legislative body. said: I'VE are moth
ing but the servants of the people Of
Iowa" The legislators who keep this
truth In view Will honor themselves, the
general assembly and the state. There
will be few, however, as In all legis-
lative gatherings, unless this one is the
exception that proves the rule, who Will
assume the attitude that they have con-
descended to the work of granting their
valuable time and superior wisdom to
the trifling task of solving the easy
problems of state. A few others, per-
faps, will pull all the strings and de-
vote their principal efforts to securing
personal advantage or gain. Conceit or
selfishness are often rebuked in a Sc
we're manner however.
The T.-R. speaks only in a general
way of possibilities, not having the
slightest reference to any Individual
members of that body. In fact 1t is per-
suaded that the republican majority in
control of the body is composed of pru-
dent and able men. They have demon
s.rated this already by their harmony
in the initial efforts in organizing the
house. 1t is expected that they will
give further demonstrations of it by leg
islation in the interest OF the people
whom they serve. And the small body
OF democrats. what can they be but
worthy men, since all the facts go to
show that 1t takes a mighty good demo-
crat to win position in Iowa? Then,
too. they are surrounded by so many re-
publicans, such wholesome political
ethical and economic influences, that
they are bound to absorb good sense in
acting as servants of the people. They
are all sure of being favored with po-
s,tion on committees. for there. are more
committees than democrats in either
branch of the assembly.
