Senator Allison is another senator to
insist that reciprocity is impossible IN
practice though beautiful in theory. He
says: 1.-The instant it is proposed to re-
duce the duty on any given dutiable
product by means of reciprocity tre-
atty the industry affected Immediately
objects. Where number of large in.
dustries are affected by the proposed
reciprocity they exert enough influence
to defeat the treaties" "And there ye
are," as Mr.. Dooley would say. Any
one senator can defeat treaty. Sena.
torial courtesy and the rule that a sena-
tor can debate forever and hold up leg
islation at his own sweet will render the
pledges of the party futile. The glori.
GUS beauty of reciprocity, that darling
handmade of protection" is treated as
Hagsr, the bond woman of scripture
was-turned out in the wilderness to
starve.

WANT NEW ROAD LAW DECLARED
UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

The friends of good roads in this city
and county will DO interested to know
that il the plans of plumber Of attor-
neys in the state carry the next lesisla-
ture will have to pass new road law,
as an effort ia to be made to have the
present statute, as it was enacted at the
last session Of the legislature, declared
unconstitutional by the courts. The
Des Moines News in announcing the
contest that is to be made on the new
road law and giving the reason for the
attack, says:
"Iti is asserted by attorneys in this
city that steps have already been taken
to begin proceedings in another county
OF the state to make test of the new
state road Law under which the tax on
all property is to be paid in cash like
other taxes and the road work will be
done on contract or the direction of a
township superintendent, who will en-
ploy labor at stated wages. 1t is con.
tended in many parts of The state and
by good lawyers that the law is uncon.
stitutional in that it provided for two
levies OF taxes on the assessment of
property as of date January of this
year, one levy to be collected this year
in cash and the other next year. 1t
was necessary to make this shift in
making tho change in the time OF the
collection of taxes as hereafter all
road taxes will run over year like
other taxes. There has been great
deal of complaint about the law and in
many counties efforts are being made
to evade it or secure practically the old
system under some subterfuge. Severa
farmers institutes denounced the Law
and demanded its repeal and it wal
only with difficulty that the meeting O.
boards of supervisors was prevented
from indorsing movement for repeal
| 1t is now believed case will be take1
to the supreme court as soon as possible
with view of having the law knocked
out"
The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1903-05-14

There is danger of having too many
issues in political campaign. The old
reformers used to say one reform at q
time. "Pull only one stump at a time"
This maxim has been disregarded in
some of the reform plans now on foot,
Primary election, ad yalorem taxation
of railroads, rate commission, taxation
of mortgages etc., etc. Do not these
constitute rather too many issues to be
in the fore all at once?

THE DEMAND WON'T DOWN.

While the standpatters of Iowa and |
the east are congratulating themselves
about their fancied victory over the
Iowa idea, and are expressing conf
dence as to what they will be able to
do in state convention, the masses who
have been insisting that the tariff shell
ter to monopoly be removed, don't seem
to think they are suppressed. Nor
does Congressman Babcock, of Wiscon-
sin. He is more outspoken today than
ever before and declares that the evil
of the Dingley law must be eradicated.
He calls this evil "over-protection." He
wants protection enough to cover the
distance in cost of production here and
abroad, but not a cent more. Says he:
This means that if it costs 81 to man
ufacture an article abroad and $l.25 to
manufacture that same article in the
United States, the tariff on that article
should be % cents. The minute the
tariff exceeds the difference in cost of
the manufacture between two countries,
that minute it fosters monopoly. The
iron and steel industry is the great ex-
ample of this fact. Heavy castings of
steel and iron can be produced in the
United States for less money than in
any other country in the world, yet
there is tariff of nearly So a ton on
these same products. This means that
the American consumer of steel is re-
CURED to pay to the American manu-
facturer of steel at least SIS on each pur-
chase. In the aggregate this amounts
to $50, 900, 900 year. The glass industry
presents another example on the same
line. A few years ago you could buy q
box of glass for something like 80 cent?.
Today it costs in the neighborhood of
$3.50. When conditions change to the
extent of fostering such conditions as
these, it is part of political wisdom and
patriotism to change these particular
tariff schedules. When the true princi-
pie of protection is maintained the
country will be prosperous. This has
The evil of overprotection, however,
must be recognized as an evil, and
should be corrected
This is an argument that appeals to
the people. 1t goes to the root of the
subject. 1t is clear.cut expression of
the Iowa idea. 1t helps emphasize the
righteousness of that idea, and the way
it is expressed in the platforms of the
past two years. 1t illustrates how es.
sential it is to put some meaning into
the platform such as it now possesses.
No honest man can deny that the steel,
glass and other monopolies are actually
