THE NEW SERIAL STORY.

The T.-R. will begin publication next
week Of Fergus Hume's interesting de-
tective story. THE Yellow Holly" Mr..
Hume's novel is we'll worked out In
plot and detail. and is excellent light
summer reading, when the average
reader desires something sufficiently
absorbing to hold the attention, but not
heavy enough to make reading more
than an amusement. "The yellow
Holly" is summer book of this sort
one to read In the hammock under the
trees, or the rocker in the shady cor
ner OF, the porch. Like all OF Mr..
Hume's detective stories 1T is alive
with startling situations and shrewd
deduction. Watch for the story and
begin with the first chapter.

EQUITABLE iNvrs1leAr,nG COMMITTEE

Judging from the tone of the New
York newspapers the joint commission
appointed by the New York assembly
to investigate the Equitable, not only
fails toainspire public confidence, but
arouses distrust and suspicion. The
personnel of the committee suggests
the question whether or not the inves-
tigation will be carried out searching
~ and uncompromisingly as the people
demand
1t is unfortunate that in almost ev-
cry case where men are appointed to
Investigate the affairs Of great corr
poration or the alleged nalfeasance OF
partisan officials the suspicion of
job usually exists in the popular mind,
but this suspicious attitude Is entirely
natural, not to say justifiable. The pub
lie has been often betrayed and it's
skepticism Of official probfty is the
product of such betrayal. II a feeling

sought to hide rather than reveal. SO

suggests the brush and the kalsomine
bucket. The public as whole is not
distristful but burnt children dread

and not condemn III advance Of the

TERMS:
THE NEW ASSESSMENT.

The executive council has completed
It's task of assessing railroad property
and Of reviewing the assessment OF
lands returned by the township as
SCISSORS. In the case of railroads, the
valuations We're given a very slight
increase mostly due to the mileage
which last year was in process of cor
struction, and now receives the full
was doubtless the belief of the council
that railroad property had not yet
been assessed as high as 1T ought to go
but the showing of earnings was much
less than In previous years. and 1T be-
came the part Of conservatism and
fairness to make a very slight increase
in; assessments.
The reduction in land assessments
was first made by the township asses
sors who reported decreased land
values by reason of the decline in land
prices during the past two years. The
executive council in lowering land val
uations accomplish the same thing as
another raise in railroad assessments,
because of the change in the relative
values Of the two kinds of property.
There is probably no more difficult
problem In government than the one
of equitable taxation, and any assess
ment will receive criticism. 1t has
been apparent during the past four
years. however that the present ex-
ecutive council has given to its as
sessment work greater ability and In
fnitely more careful consideration
than any council before it for gem
GRAFTON back. Its decisions have been
made without fear or favor and MS
nearly correct as four honest and intel
ligent men could make them. They
will stand for many years as models
for future councils.

POSSIBLE? All this is suggested by the
talk these days of what is to be done in
the next legislature. Some Of us re-
member not many moons ago that q
we'll intentioned member Of the legis-
lature proposed to cure all and at one
time the school book evils. He was
well prepared for the attack, being a
former school principal, and man Of
good business capacity. So he prepar-
ed bill that fixed the school book
business in every way, shape and fash
ion. 1t included county and state uni
formity. 1t had the free school book
clause. 1t put the state into book BUSH
ness as manufacturer and dealer. 1t
made state officials editors and compil-
ers Of school books from readers, spell
ing books. geography, map makers, to
those of history, and botany and politi-
cal economy. The result was la
mentable failure. The differently at
tackled interests combined and this bill
met the fate of many other reform
bills. If the author Of this bill had
concentrated his energies on any
one IGdluIG, IL He Hdu SdllCu
on his friends and the public to sup
port him on say one such feature, as
uniformity, or free school books, or
any other good single feature of the
bill he might possibly have accom-
plished a little. AS it was he lost all.
It is pretty generally admitted that
the pass system is bad. Nominally
the railroad officials agree with the
public in desire to abolish it. Each
succeeding legislature has had bills in
troduced to kill the pass system, and
each succeeding legislature has killed
the bill instead of the pass system.
Now the agitation has commenced
again. This time we're going to do it.
But are we? Probably not. And this
for the same reason that the referred
to school book bill met an untimely
death. We are attempting too much
at one time. If the bill to be intro-
duced during this coming legislature
contained only the feature of prevent
ing the issuance of annual and trip
passes to all public officials, the gov
ernor and members Of the board of
control excepted, including possibly
other named members of the state ex-
ecutive council there would be some
chance OF success forNthe passage of

IOWA OPINIONS AND NOTES.

The Carroll Herald predicts that
Senator Warren Garst will be forced
into the gubernatorial race, if politi-
cal conditions are favorable when the
time comes. Nobody the Herald says,
has any authority to speak for the
senator from Carroll; he has been
scrupulously careful not to give out
any interview, or to commit himself in
private. But his friends will insist
upon his candidacy, if the logic of the
situation make him the proper person
for them to support. He is man Of
virile manhood and large proportions
intellectually and has had singularly
successful career in public life. And
his fitness for the high office is appre-
ciated by all familiar with his public
service. Nowhere is he more highly
appreciated than at home, and the
party in Carroll county would support
him as one man." declares the Her
aid.
