Before Messrs. Kelley and

Monday night, members Of the
board Of education and a few
other citizens, met the legislators
by appointment and talked over
the matter of securing legisla-
ton that would permit the board
of education to secure funds SUI
ficent to run the school on an
economical basis and yet in keep
ing with the size and character
ehe town, and give to the chill
en of our citizens a full days S
schooling. Several bills are now
before the legislature looking to
a more equita 5le assessment OF
property and securing an actual
value basis. Just how far these
bills, if they should become laws,
would reach the desired results
it would be hard to say. The
present limit to a levy of &c
mills would provide sufficient
school revenue if an actual value
basis was established, but when
the assessment is about 20 per
cent of this the school revenue
runs far below what's absolutely
| necessary to conduct the schools
in a proper manner. Messrs.
Kelley and Steiner promised tc
do what they could to secure
legislation leading to more
equitable assessment or in the
line of having the present levy
limit raised from 20 to Is mills

HI PARTY's FUTURE.

That there is a restless feeling in the
republican ranks thruout the state rel
alive to the condition of the party in
the state. all politicians who visit the
state capital agree, and they also agree
termined to lead have brought great
discord to the ranks Of the grand old
party-a discord the democrats are I'M
able to avail themselves of, but which
they will utilize as Colonel Eiboeck
says, two years from the present time
when Governor Cummins ceases to be a
candidate. AT this time, Colonel Eli
boeck says, h democrats will make a
determined rally and will attempt to
elect a democratic governor. They
have no disposition to fight Governor
.Cummins. But Colonel Eiboeck and
others think that at the end of Gov
ernor Cummins' career as governor the
democrats will have a grand opportun-
.ity. They think there are a great many
republicans who have been supporting
the governor who will support no other
republican and who will be in shape to
make their former re-publicanism
effective in the future of Iowa politics.
THE ANTS NEEDN'T WORRY.

There would be plenty of discord in
the party should the national w
ton next year insist on the sacredness
and permanency Of existing tariff
schedules. But the convention will do
nothing OF That sort. The party will
enter the next national campaign pro-
claiming hat the policy of protection
has been justified by it's results n
that the reasonable application of the
principle Involves the changing of
schedules from time to time to meet
changed conditions of industry. The
congress to be elected in 1904 viii be.
pledged to the readjustment of existing
schedules and the pledge will be well
coined by the party and the country.

NEW MILITIA LAW.

Our citizen soldiery takes on a new
interest andsimporta1.ce since President
Roosevelt has signed the new militia
hill adopted by congress. 1t marks the
completion of a task that has engaged
the attention of congressman for many
years.
BY the provisions of this measure,
which was introduced in the house of
representatives by General Charles
Dick, of Ohio. and in the senate by
Senator Joseph r. Hawley, the organ
lied militia. with Its $4,000 men, which
had no standing in b military estab-
lishment of the country, now becomes
d part of the armed forces of the ma
ton. In time Of war the president may
call upon the National Guard for a term
not exceeding lii months, for service
within the boundaries of the country,
and when volunteers are needed for
service outside Of the country the menu
bers Of the organized state forces will
have the first opportunity to enlist. The
bill also provides for the rearming and
the re-equiprnent of the National Guard
on the lines laid down for the regular
service. This insures greater uniform
ity and efficiency.
The tactical organization, as well as
the equipment of the National Guard.
will from now on be like that Of the
United States army. and the new law
specifies that. within five years these
changes must all be completed. To ac-
complish this purpose $4,000 900 has
been appropriated, of which this state
will receive about 1870, 900.
Joint camps of instruction, In which
National Guardsmen and regulars
will take part in maneuvers and prac-
tice marches. are also provided for in
in the bill. These encampmsnts will
give the citizen soldier a chance to see
how his comrade of The army lives in
camp, and they will also promote good
fellowship between the w branches OF
the service. Attendance at these en-
campments on the part of National
Guardsmen will be at the request of the
governor, and not by order of III army
authorities. altho. of course, the presi-
dent will continue to be the comman-
d~errin-chief.
Under the new law the militia forces
OF the several states are expected to be
carefully trained reserves that are all
ways needed by a great nation. tho
there will be no greater desire to en-
courage the martial spirit. The people
Of the United States are lovers OF peace
and propose to abide in it, even tho
they feel impelled to encourage mill
tary readiness.

Rack TO THE CONVENTION.

The call for a republican primary
alaotion IN Poweshiek county announ-
ces that the question will be submitted
10 the voters to be decided whether the
na rtv shall continue to make its nomi-
nations by primary elections or return
to the old convention system. It is to
be regretted that any such question
should ever be even so much as raised,
but that Poweshiek is not alone in It's
ouandary is apparent from h discus
sion current in almost every county IN
the state. That the primary election
has It's faults as a nominating system
must be admitted. The greatest of them
are that democrats will mix INTO repub-
lican primaries in counties where re-
nublican nominations amount virtually
10 elections, and that candidates are
burdened with the necessity OF making
=. long and expensive campaign. How
ever, IL it IL the majority expression OF
the greatest number that Is desired in
selecting candidates, there ought to be
no question as between the primary and
the convention system.
It Is true that the convention system
is lust as much in harmony with our
representative form of popular govern
ment as Is the primary election. but
how are the convention delegates Sc
lected? Voters who have been accus-
toned to attend party caucuses need
not be told what a farce the caucus is.
The local boss, who h a some personal
interest in controlling the party and all
its nominees, takes it upon himself to
see that q few of his friends drop
around to the caucus, while everybody
{ else Is Indifferent and tending to his
private affairs. The pre-arranged slate
is put thru and the county convention
results all fixed" before the
ton is ever held. There is no doubt but
what this plan suits the politician the
best. The fact that caucuses are some-
times, IN I6CI, OJllIicS, I'VE VI
ten minutes before the real representa-
tive attendance arrives, is forgotten be-
fore the evils OF a few democrats voting
at a primary.
On the other hand. granting that. as
at present managed, the primaries do
/ admit of unqualified voters, and that
there is corruption practised, none can
| deny that the activity of the candidates
calls out a primary vote which gives a
flair expression from ten times the
number of voters that yer take part in
| delegate caucuses. Why would it not
be a better plan, then, to improve the
primary, instead of rejecting 1t for the
old favorite of the ringster? The state
of Minnesota has a law in successful
operation which requires all parties to
nominate candidates by primary cleo
! tons and requires that the primaries OF
