The plea that Cummins has
been helpful to the common
No o'e" in raising railroad as
sessinents is the worst kind of
political buncombe. For every
To- I of extra valuation he
has placed upon the railroads
ne i...s put eight dollars on the
other property of the state.
And still he insists that the
railroads are fighting him and
is making a campaign by ap-
pealing to the prejudices of the
people. He made just such a
campaign five years ago and
many people believed he was
sincere. But when the con-
vention which nominated him
was held in Cedar Rapids all
of his delegates went on passes
furnished by the railroads. He
made this kind of a bluff 20
five years ago and it worked so
we'll he is trying to work the
same game again this year.
The question is will the people
be fooled a second time?
1t is about time that the peo-
pie of Harrison county were
giving a little quiet thought to
state affairs. The question is,
elias Gov. Cummins fulfilled
the promises made to the peo-
pie five years ago." The re-.
cord as furnished by the re-
ports Of his own officers furn-
ishes abundant proof that his
administration has been waste
full and extravagant. With
such a record staring the vot-
ers in the face, are they again
going to give him a third term?
If he has failed to make good
in five years, is it natural to
suppose that he will redeem
himself in two years more? It
might also be added that dur
ing his administration the U. s.
government has refunded to
the state $250,OOO, and a mill
ion dollars additional has been
paid to the state through the
operation of the Corporation
law" and still the taxes in
crease. Every voter should
carefully consider these facts
before casting his vote on next
Saturday.

administration Governor Cum
minis has used $50, ,S85.1O of the
governors contingent fund.
This is but 1,754.35 less than
the combined expenditures Of
Governors Larrabee, Boies and
Jackson from their contingent
funds and but $1,G7O.92 less
than the expenditures of Gov
ernors Shaw and Drake to-
gether. The contingent fund
expenditures of the several
governors were as follows:

WANTS THIRD TERM.
Governor Cummins has al
ready held the office longer
than any of his predecessors.
He has his term extended one
year by virtue of the biennial
election amendment, and he is
again asking another term.
For his services the state has
already paid him close to $780,
600, and if he secures another
term his total income from the
state will reach $4,000, or
nearly three times as much as
has been paid to any other gov
ernor of the state.
And still he says he is a can
didate for an office he does not
want. He says he is working
in the interests of the common
people," But does the increase
in state taxes in Harrison coun-
ty amounting to nearly $l9, 1000
prove that he is very devout
lover OF the common people?'
The governor pretends to fight
the railroads. Five years ago
he had the hearty support of
five of the great railroad sys-
TENS in Iowa. The railroads
were then his best frien6s.
During his administration Il e
railroads have not been badly
hurt. An increase of $11, ,OOO.-
600 has been made in their
whereas the tax
able value of the farms, town
lots and personal property has
suffered a raise of $89,553,44S.

An Enormous Increase In Taxes.

and business mon tell exactly
the same story.
During the last year of
Shaw's administration the state
levy in this county was .02.?.
During the first year of Cum
minis administration the state
levy jumped to four mills. This
explains the increase in state
taxes. The total increase in
state levy during the four
years of Cummins shows an in
crease amounting to OPT as
compared with Shaw's admin
istration.
That the affairs of state
have been badly managed is
shown by the report of State
Treasurer Gilbertson, who was
nominated with the aid of the
Cummins machine. By refer
ence to table No. pol it will be
observed that the total dis
bursements under Shaw for the
biennial period of 1899 and 1901
was 50, ,421, 1874. For the first
two years under Cummins the
total disbursements were $5,-
57l, l,264. 70, or an increase in
two years of 81, ,33O,09l.05.
The following table will show
what it has cost to administer
state affairs from Governor
Larrabee's administration TO
the present time:

1t will be seen that Cummins'
administration has cost the tax
payers of Iowa S12,62S,472 in
four years, or double that of
Larrabee or Boies. Cummins
IS the most extravagant ex-
ecutive the state has had since
it was admitted to the union
fifty years ago. This statement
is based on the official figures
of the states expenditure; as
published in the biennial re-
ports OF the state auditor and

1t will be seen from the
above figures that the admin
istration Of Cummins has cost
the tax payers of Harrison
county SlS.976.06 more than
the four years under Shaw. In
the nine counties of the ninth
congr esslonal district taxes
have increased on an average
II per cent. Audubon county
shows the highest per cent Of
increase, or 80 per cent. But
Harrison county is a close sec
ond with 81 per cent increase.
These figures cannot be disput-
ed as they are prepared from
the state house records. But
the farmers who have been
paying taxes will have no rea-
SON to doubt the correctness Of
these figures. The little tax

pearances the Standard Oil Co.

Investigations cannot but help
for they will make the corpora
tions feel that at least there is
some semblance of law and
order in the United States.
In all the movements for
publicity of the doings of cor
porations and public control
over them, the aim of the peo-
pie is to correct abuses danger
Gus to the common good and
for great corporation interests
and combines to show that they
are capable of greater mischief
than anyone has imagined
would simply be to make sure
of a swifter and mightier exer-
tion of public authority over
them.
When this document is read
and thoroughly digested by the
men of this country
there is greater probability
that rate discrimination will be
more thoroughly understood,
and congress may be forced to
pass some law regulating this
abuse. But if the law is en-
acted, we hope it will be en-
forced to the letter, for we
have too many interpretations
of the same laws at present.

Much surprise has been man
lfested by the farmers and bust
ness men of Harrison county
within the last few days when
their attention has been called
to the increase in state taxes
under the administration of
Gov. A. B. Cummins. Every
man who pays taxes knows
that his taxes have been great
er each year; but no reason has
been assigned for this increase
until circulars were circulated
showing what it has cost to adj
minister the affairs of state
under Cummins. Here are the
figures for Harrison county
that have called forth so much
comment:

immigration into this coun-
try is increasing at an alarming
rate and yet it seems that the
tranquility of our laws is not
disturbed in the least. We get
all classes Of people and from
all parts of the globe and yet
there are comparatively few
disturbances due to foreigners
in this country. Citizenship
should be the first thought of
immigrants, for they expect to
be protected by laws and are
not tourists travelling under a
passport.
If the Russian troubles con-
tinue we may expect a large in
aux of laborers from that ter
rorized country.

this action cf the miners ir
signing the old schedule, will
be heartily approved by the
public. President Mitchell
himself admitted in his final

tude of miners was averse to a

the decision not to strike has
been received in the anthracite
region more than bears him

"rha quality of mercy is not
strained,
1t droppeth as the gentle rain
from heaven
Upon the place beneath: it is
twice blest,
1t blesseth him that gives and
him that takes,
Ills mightiest in the mightiest;
it becomes
The throned monarch better
than his crown"
This outburst of "heavenly
eloquence" of Portia in the
"Merchant of Venice" is a
BEAUTIFUL version Of that Christ
ian axiom "It is more blessed
to give than to receive" 1t
also points out the fact either
that mercy exists in the great
est plentitude in Him who is
omnipotent, or that the more
power one has to inflict pain.
the more he bows and subdues
the heart by showing mercy.
1t was evidently a favorite idea
with Shakespeare that the
noblest and most amiable thing
is power mixed with gentleness
and that the highest style of
manhood is that which knows
no fear of pain, but is like a
child to the touches of com
passion. Who has ever lost
anything by being merciful to
those who deserved mercy !?
Who has ever lowered himself
by being compassionate? The
world today and the "tense"
lives we are all living is a
strain on our patience and en-
durance at times but by a little
more self control and cool de-
liberation it is as easy to be
merciful as it is to be rash and
mete out some great injustice
upon those who look to us for
help.

Washington, Mar S.-Today afford

was devoted to that ordef of business.
The whole time was occupied by
three senators, Mr. Beverdge support

The Indiana senator contended that
while Arizona and New Mexico were
unprepared for separate statehood it
was unjust TO keep them out of the
union as one stale. Nh. McCumber
opposed joining even Oklahoma and
Indian Territories, and Mr. Patterson
held that Arizona and New Mexico
should be admitted as separate states.

as soon as an opportunity offered ne
would address the senate on the mes
