COUNSEL MusT be PAID.

According to decision just handed
down by the state supreme court,
county boards of supervisors have no
right to refuse to pay for additional
counsel granted by courts to defend
ants in murder cases. The case went
up from Jasper county where the
board of supervisors refused to pay
the fee of $40 day allowed by the
district court to H. G. Korf for assist
ing Attorney C. o. Mclean i'll the de-
tense of Hannah Laballem in 1903 for
the murder of her husband. Korf
brought suit in the Poweshiek county
court for his fees, but a decision was
rendered in favor of Jasper county
The supreme court now reverses that
decision and declares in an opinion
by Associate Justice Ladd that the
verdict of the lower court should have
been for the attorney. The supreme
court says in its opinion that the
court in the case had the jurisdiction
to decide and the decision was not
subject to review by the board of SUI
pervisors. No such authority is
conferred on that body. The super
yisors must content themselves with
making inquiry as to whether the APP
pointment actually has been made and
the number of days the attorney was
occupied in court in the trial, and
having ascertained these facts, it's
duty Is to audit and allow the account
accordingly.

The IOWA SITUATION.

st. Louis Globe-Democrat: Speaker
Cannon has been telling the pepole of
Iowa of many ways in which they and
all other agricultural communities
have been benefited by the republican
tariff. And he was very far from ex-
hausting the subject. There are spe-
cial reasons why orthodox tariff talk
is timely in Iowa. That state is one
of the leading agricultural commune
ties in the country. Agriculture SO
far surpasses all its other activities
manufacturing, mining and the rest of
them--that Mr.. Cannon was justified
in devoting his talks to the manner,
chiefly, in which the farmer has been
benefited by the tariff. There has
been some recent tariff talk among
Iowa republicans which was not IN ac-
cord with the party's record or its
present purposes. Gov. Cummins
said, q year or two ago, some things
about the tariff which were contrary
then and now to the party's teachings.
In 1906 Gov. Cummins is candidate
for third term, and some republi-
cans in the state are said to be op-
posing him. But in 1906 GOV. Cum
Minis has fallen into line with his par
ty on that issue.
"The increase Of farm values from
1890 to 1900," said Mr.. Cannon, was
25 per cent, while in half the number
of years, from 1900 to 1865, the in
crease was 35 per cent" Mr.. Cannon
used census figures in both ases,and
the census people did not get up their
tables for use in the canvass of 1906
or any other canvass. They compiled
them for the information Of the coun-
try, regardless Of the effect which they
would have on the fortunes of par
ties or the ambitions of politicians.
The reason why farm values increas-
ed far more in the five years since
1900 than they did in the ten years
Immediately preceding that date is
that republican tariff has been on
the statute book throughout the more
recent period. From 1894 to 1897, in
Cleveland's second term, the Wilson
German tariff-the act which Cleye
land denounced as the party perfidy
and party dishonor" tariff-was in
operation, and that act failed to give
either revenue to the treasury or pro-
lection to the American producer.
Consequently it helped to close mills,
and to account for those 100000 Of
idle men whom Gompers said we're in
the country in 1895.
The republican tariff has placed the
factory beside the farm, and the COM
petition and the improved machinery
which the tariff established reduced
the prices of factory products, while
at the same time increasing the wages
of factory workers. Thus, as com
pared with the democratic free.trade
days preceding 1861, the farmer gets
more money for what he sells and he
pays less money for what he buys.
When Iowa and the rest of the agri-
cultural communities of the west
think calmly over the benefits which
the tariff has conferred upon them,
they win roll up big republican ma
jorities on November 6.

Hairy Nation" But not SO now. In
his speech at Monterey few days ago
Auditor Carroll. with pardonable
pride. called the attention of his audi
tors to the fact that Davis county pro-
duces more sheep than any ether
county in the state, with the single
exception of Van Buren,. He also
cited statistics showing that the
township in WHICH Monterey is stu.
ated is the banner township of DAVIS
county in raising sheep. The census
reports show that Davis county had
more than $4,000 sheep Jan. l, 1905,
and that the average value per head
was little more than 1884.
