RAILWAYS VS.. LANDS.

An interesting problem confronts the
executive council this year in determin-
ing the proper assessment of real estate
in Iowa. No one need go farther than
around the corner to learn that there
has been great boom in the price OF
farm lands in Iowa during the last
three years. To assess farm real es-
tate in any county at one-fourth of a
valuation Of $40 to $40 per acre is
manifestly ridiculous estimate. for
everyone knows that the average Iowa
farm is changing owners rapidly at
valuations from $50 to $40 per acre
and many of them at 800.
But. while values are too definitely
known in the farm land class to adj
NIT of an argument as to the assess
ment. there still remains a question
whether the owners of railway property
have any great cause for complaint
lin comparison. The executive council
raised the total railroad assessment
last year by 100000 more than it
was and the public commended the
action. There was no desire to perse-
cute the railways or treat them un-
fairly but the belief had become gen.
eral that the railways had been ex-
erting too great an influence over the
members OF the executive councils that
had done the assessing in the past and
the conclusion was inevitable, even in
| the absence OF definite information as
| to values, that assessments had been
| kept down unjustly low. 1t may be
| that the next assessment should justly
add only the value Of the new mileage
built to the total railway yalua-
/ tfon and IL this is the conclusion the
public will be satisfied so long as 1t
is convinced that the railways don't
own the council. II railway managers
would accept the advice of friend
/ they would accomplish the most In this
assessment controversy by staying out
of politics. The pernicious activity in
the politics Of the people of such rail-
way attorneys as Blythe and the Hub
lizards has done more to bring downabout
the ears of railway interests the wrath
of an incensed public than any other
| one thing.

time, and as a good enough republican
for that party to elect twice to the
presidency of the United States. In
his last public utterance he said: Re
ciprocity is the natural outgrowth of our
wonderful Industrial development I'M
der the domestic policy now SO firmly
established. Reciprocity treaties
are In harmony with the spirit of the
times.
1--WE are inclined to think that Blaine
Mckinley and the last three republican
national conventions were about as
good authorities on true republicanism'
and true Americanism' as any that can
now be found"
1t is plain that the sentiment of the
west and the majority sentiment of the
republican party is for reciprocity and
for modifying the tariff when needed. 1t
is also clear that great forces of repub-
canism still support the policy of Blaine
and Mckinley.

GOOD WORK OF LIFE SAVING SERVICE.

An effective agency that is accom-
plishing great good is the life saving
service of our government along the
coast. With the exception of about
fifty stations supported by Denmark,
mainly on the coast of Jutland. and a
few on the coast of Belgium, the life
saving service of the United States is
the only government establishment of
the kind in the world. The ocean, lake
and gulf coast, covering an extent OF
10. 900 miles. is laid off into twelve life
saving stations, each governed by To-
cal superintendent, controlled by gen.
eral officer at Washington.
The report of this life saving service
shows that there were ass accidents to
registered vessels in this country last
only nineteen in all were lost, and the
property loss was about $2,300,000.
There are 272 life saving stations. of
which 1875 are on the Atlantic and Gulf
coasts, sixty on the Great Lakes and
sixteen on the Pacific coast. The cost
of maintaining the service last year
was s1,650,OO0
The saving of life and property is
great, as contrasted with the period be-
fore this service was inaugurated.
The most important of the ordinary
station duties is the unremitting watch
kept on the beach. If a vessel can be
seen driving, crippled, toward the shore,
operations can be prosecuted for the
rescue of those on board before the
surf has time to tear her to pieces.
Besides the saving of life. the rescue
of property is conspicuous tho sec
ondary feature of the service. The
surfmen are expert in floating stranded
vessel, extricating them from danger
GUS situations, relieving leaking vessels.
running lines where it can not be done
by ordinary boats. In a majority of
cases they succeed in saving vessels
and cargoes without any other aid than
the ships crews, and often alone. Their
unremitting watch enables them to
warn off numerous craft in Imminent
danger. The number of such vessels in
no recent year has been less than 200.
AS our shipping increases this service
will be more appreciated and more vail
liable than at the present time.

WHAT WE HAVE BEEN BUILDING,

Builders and business men who have
noticed carefully the news dispatches
in these columns OF the aggregate inn
provements made in the various towns
of the state during the past year have
been very we'll satisfied with the pro-
gress the state has MADE. The T.-R.
editor has before him today the build
ling records of dozen towns or more
as complied by the local newspapers
and referring to the census records of
each town for an average estimate per
conservative estimate of $35,000,000
worth ofbuliding improving having been
done in the towns of the 9Iowa counties
during the past year. Several towns
of less than 10000 people and two of
less than $4,000, report building oper-
atoms for the year to the extent of
over 100000 each.
The T.-R. has in its employ force
of travelling solicitors and collectors
each Of whom drive over some 10000
miles Of country road in n
single season and these men
have reported in their news
paper articles and in private CONVEX
sation a remarkable activity in build
ing improvements on Iowa farms One
man said that the new barns and
modern residences built on the farms
since his visit OF year ago was the
one thing that impressed him the most
deeply as he made his annual pill
grimage. A glance at the census fig
ures will show that in no county In
Iowa is the population of incorporated
cities more than half the total popu-
lation of the county and in most cases
considerably less than half. Conse-
quently since the people OF, the towns
improved their properties to the ex-
tent of s35,OOO,0O0 it is conservative
to estimate that the greater half in the
country did the same thing and the
total of s70,0OO,000' building improve
ments in one year for the state Of
Iowa tells a story of prosperity that
is hard to beat in any other state in
the Union.

a DIscoRpANT NOTE.

At the annual meeting of the Ameri-
can Protective Tariff League in New
York few days ago a resolution was
adopted condemnlng the policy of re-
ciprocity as unsound and pernicious,
and contrary to protection, the fair
treatment of domestic producers and
friendly relations with foreign coun-
tries. This action will awaken sur
prise, for republicans and protection
lists have come to regard reciprocity as
the handmade of protection. Have we
reached the parting of the ways be-
tween the strict protectionists. the
stand patters and those who believe In
reciprocity and in modifying or drop
ping tariff schedules when an exigency
demands it, such as the removal of coal
duties? Is the tariff league so welded
TO schedules that it injects this discord-
ant note into the arena after the policy
has proved its usefulness? AS a lead
ing republican paper of high standing,
the New York Tribune enters protest
against this action and plea for re-
ciprocity, and the Times Republican
can do no better than to quote it:
"The well meaning but misguided
gentlemen who are now somewhat
shrilly inveighing against reciprocity
as contrary to true republicanism and
to true American policy would do well
