a NEW IOWA IDEA,

Between government by injunction
and the apparent inability of the courts
to agree on what appear to be simple
propositions, the humble layman finds
himself greatly perplexed at times to
stand upright as a law-abiding man and
a respecter of the courts. His perturba-
ton on this account has been added to
by condition that now exists in Iowa.
The Iowa legislature undertook to pro-
vide by statutory enactment for the local
taxation of railroad terminal property in
certain of the cities and towns of the
Hawkeye state. Assessors in carrying
out the law at Cedar Rapids and Daven-
port listed the railroad property at its
local valuation. The railroads quite nat
urally took the matter into the state
courts, resisting consistently the pay.
ment of the taxes levied. In the district
court of Linn county, in which Cedar
Rapids is located, the court held that the
law was good; in the district court of
Scott county, of which Davenport is
county seat the court held that the law
was bad.
Both decisions We're appealed to the
supreme court of the state AS both
cases involved the same point they were
consolidated and presented to the SUI
preme court as one case. The supreme
judges, after due deliberation and SOL
emn consideration, divided equally on
the points raised and were consequently
unable to announce decision. In Iowa
when the supreme court divides equally
on a case the decision of the court below
stands. Thus the assessors and tax col
lectOrs of the state are left pOwerless,
for one judge has declared for the state
and another judge of equal jurisdiction
has declared for the railroads on the
same set of facts.
This condition ought to relieve Ne
braska Of the stigma once cast by an
eastern lecturer. who is accredited with
having told his class that common
sense is law In every state in the union
save in Nebraska" But it doesn't help
the layman to a better understanding of
the law.

THE THREE-CuRNERED FIGHT FOR
guERTEE

SHERIFF.
The contest for the position of sheriff
Of Douglas county on the republican
ticket this year is another three cornered
fight just as II was two years ago when
James Allen, Tony Donahue and Fred
IL. Hoye were the candidates. Two
years ago The Bee made an earnest and
active effort on behalf Of Donahue be
lieving him to be the most available can
dldate for republicans to nominate
against the democratic sheriff, John
Power. Donahue and Hoye were de-
feated by Allen, who was the candidate
of the so-called anti-machine faction only
because the supporters whom either
alone could have rallied were divided.
In the contest this year between Nc
Donald. Hoye and Donahue, Mcdonald
represents the same element that nomi-
mated James Allen in 1903. 1t is a fore
gone conclusion that Mcdonald will be
nominated If his personal and political
opponents and those who do not approve
of the unrepublican star-chamber meth
DDS Of the INSCRIPTIONS Fontanelle cabal,
that seeks to dominate the republican
party, again scatter their votes as they
did two years ago.
After a careful survey of the field The
Bee is forced to the conclusion that Fred
II. Hoye possesses greater elements Of
strength at this time than Tony Dona-
hue, and imbued with this conviction we
advise all republicans who desire to in
sure the triumph of the party this fall TO
cast their votes for Hoye. In making
this choice we desire it distinctly under
stood that The Bee casts no reflection on
Mr.. Donahue. He is the best type Of n
manly man, who has always proved him
self loyal to his friends and his party
and still retains the esteem and conf
dence of his political associates. But we
are confronted by condition and not a
theory, and under the existing conditions
Tony Donahue's candidacy is absolutely
hopeless and every vote cast for Dona-
hue will count as half a vote for Johnny
Mcdonald.
It is to he deplored that the efforts to
harmonic the differences between Don
ahue and HOye with a view to uniting
all their supporters for the overthrow of
sham reform and political buccaneering
were frustrated when both appear to
realize that the motto of organized labor,
"In union there is strength" should he
exempllfied by them and the friends of
both of them in this campaign.

WILL THEY RATIFYf

Two weeks before the time for filing
the names Of candidates for county nom
nations was to expire half a dozen gov
errors of the Fontanele club met in
star chamber to select a ticket which the
republicans of Douglas county are now
asked to endorse next Tuesday. This
ticket thus selected or rather dictated,
by the inner circle of a political wreck
ing club has been mailed to every repub-
lican voter in Omaha and South Omaha,
with carefully prepared directions and
the assurance that it stands for good
government and economy. The natural
inference is that the republicans of
Douglas county have committed their
consciences and their right to make their
own selection of public servants to a
coterie of self-appointed, irresponsible
political autocrats, who will not take
them into their confidence yet and who
arrogate to themselves dictatorial pow
ers, without as much as consulting the
members of their own club in whose
name they are appealing for support.
This is the most amazing piece of eff
frontery that the republicans of Doug
las county have ever been asked to sub
