alton is simply this: one side is in

ATTORNEY GENERAL HALL is pre-
pairing bill, by request, which, if
it should become law, will make a
radical change in the assessors .
By the provisions of the bill the
governor would appoint an assessor
for each county, the latter having
power to appoint the assistants, but
the county assessor would be held
responsible for the work 1t would
not be necessary for the governor to
appoint man to assess over his
own county, although each county
would have one assessor appoint
ment. The county assessors would
be called before the state board oil
equalization there to receive instruc-
tions relative to the work of making
a complete and just assessment of
all property. By such law it is
hoped to secure just and equal
assessment of all property in the
state, and the scheme. seems reason
able. At present our small revenue
cannot be charged to- existing
theory OF taxation or to unwritten
laws, but rather to the machinery
and system employed for executing
the law. Under existing laws all
propertyis supposed to be assessed
at true valuation. But it is not.
A true and just assessment would
secure to the state all the funds that
are actually needed. The PROPOSE
ton has much merit and we should
ike to see it become law.

THE Brookings individual goes
after the Aberdeen News editor for
presuming to advise the legislature
against the primary bill. There is
nothing wrong on the part OF the
Individual in expressing its opinion
,n regard to that measure, but we
fail to see wherein it has the right
to attack another for doing the same
thing 1t is the privilege of every
citizen to advise the legislature and
to express an opinion regarding its
acts. The Individual has not yet ac-
quired monopoly on advise and
opinion.

A DISPATCH to the Minneapolis
Journal from Pierre says that the
senate committee on rules will to-
morrow Tuesday report on the
primary election bill, finding that
the petiittiion III Ho respect conforms
TO the requirements of the law, and
that deducting Implications and ir-
regular signatures less than 1000
remain, where 5000 would be neces-
airy on legally prepared petition.
How many Implications exist and OF
what the Irregularities consist the
dispatch does not state, although
:he full text of the report will doubt
less give these facts in detail. No
time should be lost by the commit
tee in giving this information to the
public. The Implications on the
petition, all will agree, should not
be counted. But the friends OF the
measure will be slow to acknow.
ledge that legal technicalities should
be allowed to count against she etfi-
cheney of the petition. Here IL
where the bitterness will arise. On
the face of the matter the ordinary
individual is slow to recognize the
Justice of throwing out an express
sion of the people on technicalities
In the matter of elections the su-
preme court hold strictly to technic
alities, even when it is contrary to
the acknowledged expressed will ol
the voters, but whether committee
of the legislature has the same right
to hew strictly to the line on peti-
tion is, perhaps, another question
However, as committee OF men
elected by the people, aud un-
der oath to support the constitution
and laws OF the state, have reported
against the legality OF the peti.
ton we shall be slow to accept any
other version Of the matter

The Real Interests.

l uS NCdi tDtCtNStos
There is a good deal of deliliberate
misrepresentation of the issue in ths
current debate on railroad rate reg
ulation.
Thus the railroad advocates con-
stantly represent that nobody is con
cerned about how high the rate may
be, just so that everybody pays the
same rate. This allegation, in man
| ifold forms, is constantly pressed,
and it is untrue.
1t may be true that jobbers of sugar
in Sioux City, Omaha, Des Moines,
Chicago aud Minneapolis are anxious
to be certain that they are all treat
ed alike. and all ona common basis,
in rates on sugar. This makes their
business secure and safe. To them,
the question of whether the rate is
10 or 40 cent is not Of the first inn
portance They merely add the
rate to the selling price.
But how about the consumer Of
sugar? 1t is immaterial to him
whether freight rates add 10 or 40
per cent, to the selling price? How
about the live stock shipper, the
grain raiser, the manufacturer, the
producer, and the consumer in any
department. Do they not know
that the toll exacted by the carrier
comes from them? They are the
people in interest. The middle man is
neither producer or consumer; yet
it is ATTEMPTED to substitute him for
both.
Again, the appeal 10 made to rail-
road security holders that rates
made by commission would be low
er rates, therefore calculated to re-
duce earnings and dividends.
This likewise is not true. Com
missionsioners rates ia Iowa have
not caused reduction of earnings
or dividends. On the other hand
they have made Iowa roads more
prosperous than those OF most
states which have no commissioners
rates.
Rebates do not increase the earn
ings, the dividends or profits. In
stead, they reduce all these.
The fact that officers of the Santa
Fe road owning large interests in
the Colorado Fuel and Iron company
betrayed their trust to the stockhold
ers of their railroad by giving the
fuel company, in rebates, half Of the
freight rate, did not make money
for Santa Fe stockholders. 1t cost
them money every day it was going
on. 1t did make money for the dis
honest railroad officials who were
stockholders of the fuel company.
And that is the real working of all
most all rebates. Rebates benefit
the railroad official clique that
grants them and the recipient. They
injure alike the recipients competi.
tors and railroads shareholders.
The rebate is stiletto, treacherous
vicious, silent, secret, midnight wea-
pom. 1t was intended 10 be stopped
by the ElkiDs law, but evidence is
that the Elkins law removed the
only real fear which railroads had Of
giving rebates.
Very evidently the president, has
recommended the kind OF legis
lation that will curb these evils. Ii
you doubt it, listen to the chorus Of
protest from the law breakers. -
