OF INTEREST TO lOWANS
HAPPENINGS OF THE WEEK
THROUGHOUT THE STATE.
Governor cummins Will Attempt to
Graft the %Iowa Idea" Into tho
Republican National Plat
form Next Year.

II intend to do whatever lies in my
power to introduce in the national
platform the thought to which the Re-
publicans Of Iowa have already given
utterance." In these words Governor
A. B. Cummins formally launches his
campaign to graft the Iowa idea" in
to the national Republican platform of
1904. His speech at the Republican
county convention at Des Moines was
fraught with especial significance in
view of the fact that he was recently
summoned to Washington by two
urgent messages from President
Roosevelt, and there held three long
conferences relative to national poll
tics. At the time it was reported that
the governor had been persuaded to
discontinue his tariff reform speeches.
His address shows several evidences
of Roosevelt's influence, especially in
regard to reciprocity and trusts, but
not in the way of modification of his
tariff views. He says the time has
come to enlarge the free list and re-
wise the tariff schedules generally.
The convention was remarkable for
the unanimity with which the Cum
minis resolutions were passed, and
Congressman Hull was rebuked for
opposing Cummins. Prouty, Hull's
opponent. plainly had three out Of
four of the delegates.

Fix Valuation Of Property.

Response from all the county audi
tors have come in to the executive
council at Des Moipes in answer to
recent letter sent out asking for the
addresses of all assessors and the
heads and recorders of local equaliz-
ing boards. With this information at
hand, the council is prepared to take
up with the local assessors and the
local boards, the matter Of fixing the
valuations on property this year as
nearly in accordance with law as pos
sible. 1t is necessary to do this i'm
mediately and before the sessions of
the local equalizing boards early in
April The action Of the council thus
far is having a powerful moral effect
through the state and advices coming
in constantly show that in many in
stances assessors are being moved to
show the realty assessment up to
something like it's correct valuation
for taxation purposes. Meetings are
being held in every county of auditors
and assessors to discuss the new road

"Benien Effects. +"

The Brooklyn Eagle, the organ of
the reorganizers, is very proud of its
candor, and we'll it may be. In one
issue the Eagle said that the platform
of 1904 must be acceptable to the
eastern leaders and to the commercial
and financial interests of the country"
And then the Eagle explains that that
platform should be sufficiently states
manlike for candidates like Chief
Judge Parker, Mr.. Cleveland, Mr..
Olney or Mr., German to run upon
without qualification.
In its issue OF March the Eagle
goes bit deeper into particulars con-
corning the platform of 1904. The
Eagle explains:
We believe in gold, in expansion,
in the paramountcY of federal law
and in the inevitability and, in the
main, in the benign effect of what
are miscalled trusts. We regard as
folly and wickedness the violation of
states rights, in the name of federal
and centralized interference with
private or corporate businesses. We
believe that free labor is entitled to
as full protection as union labor.
There you have it, blunt and plain.
If the democratic platform Of 1904 is
constructed to suit the Brooklyn Eagle
and the element it represents, that
platform will not only be in favor Of
the single gold standard, but under
the plea of Expansion" will at least
be not favorable to present-day inper-
ialiSm. And, if the Eagle and the
element it represents have their way,
there will be nothing in the candidate
or in the platform to unduly alarm
the trust magnate or to interfere with
"the inevitability and, in the nam,
in the benign effects of what are mis-
called trusts
If the Eagle and the element it rep.
resents have their way, the platform
will be framed and the candidate will
be selected so that the representatives
of trusts will have no reason to fea1
that the democratic party willindulge
in the folly and wickedness" of in.
terfering with the trusts.
But, after all, what excuse can the
democratic party give for its existence
If its platform is to be framed along
these lines? The republican party
was first in the field as champion OF
these policies, and there is no materi.
al difference between the program out
lined by the Eagle for the democrat tic
party and the program outlined for
the republican party by the represent
itives of special interest.-Omaha

Indications are the Republican state
convention will be called the latter
part of. July or early in August. State
Chairman r. H. Spence is in the South
and no meeting Of the central commit
tee will be called until his return. 1t
is expected the committee will meet
the latter part of this month or early
in April. Many members of the G.. A..
r. are planning on leaving for San
Francisco to attend the national en-
campment about Aug. 10, and they will
exert their influence to have the con-
vention disposed of before they depart.

ried by the fact that the Democrats
have called their meeting for June II.
