INSPECTION BY REGULARS.

The new military law provides for inspection
Of National Guard organizations by officers of
the regular army. When the bill was under
consideration in Congress its enemies said that
the inspection clause would create bad blood;
that the inspections would give the regulars an
opportunity to make fun of the Guardsmen and
subject the citizen soldiery to humiliation and
ridicule The inspections are about to take
place in this city, and we predict that there will
be no friction between the inspectors and the
inspected, and that tne officers who come here
to muster with the critics eye their comrades
Of the first reserve and report to their superiors
what they saw will neither ridicule nor hu-
initiate the Guardsmen They will find nothing
to ridicule although they may, looking upon
the State troops with the eyes Of professional
soldiers find cause for some criticism. In the
organizations where the club spirit predomi-
mates as we'll as in the bodies where no social
lines are drawn, in the large cities and in the
small towns, there has been so much improve
ment In the National Guard that, with few ex
ceptions. officers will welcome the regular
army inspectors and feel satisfied that the
condition of their commands will not be found
discreditable TO the State.
The visits of the officers of the regular estab-
lishment will have an educational effect also
on the professional soldiers. 1t cannot be de-
MED that they have looked down upon the
National Guardsman as an amateur, and have
often used the prefxes paper" and Tin" in
speaking of the citizen soldier On closer ac-
quaintance they will find the Guardsman
worthy of the title soldier" and of the respect
Of his professional comrade The inspector will
probably be surprised in many instances to
see that men engaged in business whose time is
taken up by their various vocatiOns, who have
little time to devote to their duties Guards
men, should be as proficient as they are, and
that the true soldier spirit is 50 well developed
in the organization Of which they are mem
berS.
On the whole instead of provoking displeas-
ure and anger. as some people predicted they
would, the visits of the regular army repre-
sentatives will promote good fellowship be-
tween the two branches of the service. which
by the operation of the new law have been
brought closer together than they have ever
been before.

DrRT LIMIT AND FRANCHISE TAx.

Our neighbor 1.-The Sun" disputes the aSser-
ton of Controller Grout that the assessments
under the Special Franchise Tax law are to he
included in the assessed valuation of real estate
subject to taxation TO 10 per cent OF which the
city's borrowing capacity is limited, saying;
statute passed by the legislature cannot
change the State constitution or enlarge the
meaning of words found in the organic instru-
ment special franchise or the right TO use
the public highways for transportation, FOR gas
telegraph, telephone other public service, Is
not real estate personal estate. as that term
is used in the State constitution.
This view, if well founded, is most important
for il would mean the cutting down of the debt
limit by one-tenth of the total of the fran
clise assessments. not including, Of course, the
assessed value Of tangible property made
part Of the franchise assessment for that was
defined as real estate long before the adoption

correct one? Is it not more natural TO construe
the words of the constitution, 40 per ceDtum

county or city subject to taxation, as it ap-
.'peared by the assessment rolls of said county

It can hardly be considered otherwise than
surprising that a grand jury should have in

Roos case, although the District Attorney s
office had decided that no sufficient evidence Of
crimnalty had been discovered This was In no
way a matter OF politics or Of public con-
troversy, and 1t is not altogether easy to under

! Napoleon once said, "Myhand
|0f iron was not at the extremity
Of my arm, IL was immediately
connected with my head" The
school is not attempting te
make Napoleans, but it is at
tempting, in a measure, to car
ry out the idea emphasized in
the above statement of the
imam or the world"
Geo. Goodrich discussed the
subject of irrigation before the
high school last Tuesday. He
told of some new theories re-
garding this important work.
Some of these theories are re-
ceiving practical application in
our own state. Wayne Morris
read a very suggestive paper on
Shakespeare Environment.
The high school pupils were
greatly pleased with the lecture
Monday evening if we are to
Judge from the many remarks
we have heard during the week.
A county teachers association
will be held in Mo. Valley on
Nov. 21st. Prof. Clemens of
the Fremont Normal School
and Mrs. Eastman of the Iowa
State Normal School will be
present and participate in the
program. Let the citizens of
Mo. Valley contribute their
part toward making this a valu-
able meeting to themselves and
the visiting teachers. Your
presence is desired. No doubt
many of the teachers will come
to the Valley on the previous
evening to hear Leland Powers
lecture. He is a dramatic
artist of rare merit. Let all
the teachers who read this
come to the Valley on Friday
evening November the goth.
The lecture committee will give
you a cordial welcome.
