Governor Stokes. while member of
the Legislature, was the principal archi-
tect of the annual appropriation bills,
and his conservatism in regard to the
State finances was well known. says tho
Newark DAILY Advertiser AS Cover
nor. Mr.. Stokes in his annual message
submitted this moral to the Legislatures:
Economy must continue to be our
policy
The key to the economic policy Of Gov
ernor Stokes is found in what he says
about the State treasury surplus on oc-
toher 81. which he describes as IAN over
night balance absorbed by its debts the
next morning This is explained in fhe
fact that with the beginning Of the new
fiscal year on November all the statu-
tory appropriations made By the last
Legislature for that fiscal year become
available. The total of appropriation is
largely in excess of the surplus.
Governments generally are financed on
the plan of paying the expenses of
fiscal year out of the receipts for that
year. BY that plan the balance left in
the public treasury at the end of fiscal
year, less the unexpended amounts thet
are included in the cash balance. is really
a surplus, for it is what is left after all
the obligations Of the expired fiscal year
have been discharged.
If there could be any room for doubt
about the ability of the State to collect
In q ascal year tie revenue belonging to

State government preciudes all idea of

tent, and certainly not to an amount APP
proximating the balance held by the

The State Comptroller, in his estimates
of income for the insuing year, is always
well within the limit, and it is safe to
take his estimate as an offset to the stat
utory appropriations for the same year.

JERRY suLLlvAN's FIGURES.

When the campaign was opened for
the reelection of Governor Cummins
after he had been in office a year and
a half. the democratic state committee
planned the greatest campaign ever
known to discredit the governor and
his administration and the state of
Iowa. The democratic committee of
that year was well supplied with funds
from some mysterious source and a
better organization was made than at
any time since the coinage question
split the party.
The democratic committee directed
it's main attack on the record of Gov
ernor Cummins with relation to rail-
road assessments. This may explain
why the committee was so prosperous
that year. The brilliant Jerry Sullivan
was the democratic standard bearer.
One of his early meetings was in Ce-
dar Rapids, where the democratic
committee felt that the anti-Cummins
sentiment had become crystallized UNI
der the direction of able railroad edi-
tors better than elsewhere.
In his Cedar Rapids speech Mr. Sui
livan gave the keynote to his cam
paign In support of his position he
read from the columns of the recog-
nized railroad Incorporation political or
gan masquerading as republican
newspaper, and assuming that this or
gan was telling the truth, he delivered
a scathing arraignment of the republic
can state administration, especially
with reference to railroad and land
assessments. The burden oil his ar
gument was that the republican state
administration had increased the as
sessment on lands for the two-year
period II per cent while for one year
the assessment on railroads had been
words, that Governor Cummins and his
associates on the executive
council had shown gross favoritism
toward the railroads and whereas they
should have increased railroad assess
ments largely they had failed to do
so.
Jerry Sullivan thought it was good
stuff. He carried copy of the Cedar
Rapids Republican about in his pock-
ct and waived it before every shouting
democratic audience he addressed Its
figuring gave him great comfort.
Unfortunately the figures which had
been used by the railroad republican

PRIMARIES BY LOCAL OPTION.

There may have been some doubt il
the minds of legislators as to whether
the people of Iowa really want a state
wide primary or not but there is none
in the minds of the republican county
committeeman in Franklin and Story
counties. Sometime ago the county
central committee in Franklin county
met and arranged to place on their pr-
mary election ballots the names of the
two leading candidates for governor as
we'll as the names of the local men
seeking nominations for county office
Yesterday the republican county CEN
trail committee of Story county met
and decided to give their voters a COM
plete primary. Not only will county
nominations be made by vote but the
names of candidates for governor will
be voted upon, and the voters VIII be
given an opportunity to instruct Their
members of the next legislature to vote
for the recollection of Senator Dolli-
Yer.
Thus while the Sioux City Journal
has encouraged the standpatters in the
legislature to oppose the enactment of
state wide primary law and is now
sneering at all men who propose to al
low the people tos nominate United
States senator's by direct vote the COM
mitteemen in these two counties have,
by volunteer enactment, given their
voters the direct primary and in Story
opportunity to vote on United States
senator
Likewise, there is something to be
learned in the politics of Polk and
Woodbury. counties at this time. IN
Polk the people have known the date
of their primary election for some
time. Altho a local man is candidate
for governor there has been ample OPP
portunity for other candidates to go
before them and one other candidate
for governor has filed his name for
publication on the ballot and is now
making a campaign for support The
people of Polk county will name the
man for their delegates to support and
they will do it knowingly.
Up in Woodbury. county the old eau
Gus system prevails. A local candidate
was presented for governor at mass
meeting in which the speeches made in
his behalf presented him as standing
for all the reforms known as Cummins
reforms. Since then this hypocrisy has
been exposed to the state but snap
caucuses were called in Woodbury.

for the voters to discuss the issues or
become informed. All other candidates
will be barred from their consideration.
They will be herded like cattle into

Here 8 some more socialism. An
other coal strike is on. Millions will
be lost in the interruption of business,
loss of wages, and dividends needed
by owners of coal mines. And we all
agree this loss, every penny of ii, is to
be paid by the general public. Like
transportation heat and power are
public necessities. Coal is something
we must have. Therefore it would
seem that the public has a right to
demand that we can have coal, regard
less of disputes between labor unions
and mine operators. All this without
entering into the damnabl2 practices
OF the anthracite coal mine owners,
when no strike is in existence. The
remedy is for the government to own
the coal mines. and to lease to individ-
uals or corporations the right to dig the
coal and sell 1t. A royalty per ton can
be fixed at a figure that will pay in
terest on such investments as we'll as
the cost of police force necessary to
maintain order. Uncle Sam, the larg-
est consumer of coal in the United
States. in his war vessels and govern
mental buildings, should for purely
economical reasons own his coal mines.
1t Is a fact that at the beginning OF
the late Spanish war, this government
delayed active operations because of q
scarcity of coal. With the govern
ment ownership of the coal mines, and
the railroad lines, such thing as
coal strike would be unknown. All
this is nothing new. Salt mines, coal
mines and railroads are now owned
and operated by foreign countries. This
too. satisfactorily and protitably. Are

tries, largely because of the bugaboo
