Vice President Fairbanks: The
state Of Iowa Is to be congratulated
for many things which distinguish her
as a progressive commonwealth. She
Is especially entitled to congratulation

iNpoRsE RIGHT POLICIES.

Secretary James. Wilson: THE peo-
pie have been asking for fair play for
years with regard to restrain OF trade
by corporations. President Roosevelt
and the present congress have acted
with vlgor along these lines. The
right or the wrong of the new depart
ure goes to the people to be passed
upon at the next election. II Iowa,
occupying the prominent position she
does among the republican states,
mangles the state ticket or the con-
gressfonal ticket in November. the
past work will be seriously discounted
and future efforts paralyzed."

The Paramount Issue.

But as important as this tarifr question
is, there Is another question that stands
vastly more in need OF our attention at
the present time. and that is, shall the
people or the corporations control our
government? The United States collected
for the year ending June 80 1906, revenues
from all sources. s697, 10l, 269. or this sum
s26l. 79S, s56 was collected from customs du-
ties. During the same year the railroads
collected from the people $,03, III, 32o, or
just about eight times as much as was
collected by the United States government
under the tariff laws. The total net rev.
enues of the railroads was $SO4 229, 563 for
the year, or sl07 S,294 more than the
total revenues of the national govern
ment. While the mileage of the railroads
had increased since 1888 only 80 per cent.
their gross earnings increased over IFS
per cent, and their net earnings over 12S
per cent. These statistics show that the
taxes collected by our general govern
ment are small as compared with the
taxes collected by the railroad companies.
The Interstate commerce law was enacted
in 1887. Its purpose was to correct abuses
and place restrictions upon rates OF the
railroads. The reasonable and conscen-
tious railroad managers welcomed this
law and gave 1t their support and for

gram. THE largest democratic county con-
vention that has convened in this county
for fifteen years met here this afternoon.
Delegates from most Of the precincts were
present Mr.. Compton OF Cedar Rapids and
Lee Juvenat OF Petersburg were elected, re-
spectively, chairman and secretary. Dur
ing an intermission Ex-Governor Poynter
addressed the convention, but admitted he
was not a democrat, but one of the found
ers of the independent party. His speech
was directed against corporations generally
and railroad companies in particular. He
predicted the democrats would, in 1905. nom-
mate and elect w. J. Bryan president.
The committee on resolutions made a brief
report condemning railroads and corpora
lions, also recommending an anti-pass bill
and also the election OF United States sen
ators by direct vote. No nomination was
made for the legislature. doubtless for the
purpose OF giving the populists an oppor-
tunity TO nominate a candidate for that
ONCE who will in the future receive the en-
dorsement Of the democrats. NJ w. McGin
OF Albion was nominated for the ONCE OF
county attorney and he doubtless will be
endorsed by the popuhsts.
A resolution favoring the nomination OF
Mr. Berge for governor resulted in a pro-
test which caused the resolution TO be with
drawn Andrew ]. Pitchford OF Cedar Rap

On this class of property Lancaster

SCISSOR returning fifty-six machines, while
the records in the once Of the secretary
OF state show there are eighty-hve ma

turned two machines, while the records
at the state house show only one was
owned there April /. This county also
carried OF the banner for placing the
highest value upon the automobiles, its
pair being returned at $500 each In Ian
caster automobiles were assessed at $1s1
and in Douglas at S165 each. In Dixon
county automobiles were returned at sac
each, though the assessor found one more
than is registered in the ONCE of the
secretary of state. Only twenty-six coun-
ties returned automobiles. though the
records in the once of the secretary OF
state show automobiles are owned in
sixty-three counties.
The value placed upon automobiles in
the various counties is as follows Boyd

Persons Who Sell Land Patents Prosecuted
BY the Government.
SEVERAL SUITS INSTITUTED BY soss
Uncle Sam Insists that This Land
Cannot he Taken ID Merely
for Speculative Pur-
Doaea.


That the government means what It says
when It declares that persons fling upon
land must carry out the conditions OF the
homestead law and not sell their relin-
Quishment or otherwise dispose OF the land
for speculative purposes is brought to Night
In several suits Just instituted.
United States District Attorney Goss has
brought suit in the United States district
court in behalf Of the United States against
certain parties in Cherry county for the
cancellation Of their patents to government
lands. There are five Of the suits, the de-
PENDANTS being Clara A. Felch, who IL
charged with having alienated her land to
Elias stilwell; Mary ]. Donoher alternating
her land to w. w. Anderson; Charles b.
Harris, alternating his land to Julius c.
Rounds: George w. Miller. alternating his
land to r. F. Gillsspie and Jacob w Stet-
ter, and Kate Meyer, formerly Kate Strain,
for alternating her land TO Robert F. Gill
laspie and Jacob w. Stetter.
Conditions of Law violated.
The petition in each case states that
the first named parties in the suits did
not file upon the lands for homestead, cul-
tivation and settlement, that their respect
I've affidavits on final proof were false,
that the lands were taken up for specula-
tive purposes and were Immediately trans
ferred to the second named parties in the
cases as soon as final proof was made, pur-
suant to previous arrangement made at
the time of entering the lands The petit
ton also asks that the lands in question
may be restored to the public domain for
actual settlement.
These suits are but the beginning Of a
number OF like suits that will be brought
for the cancellation Of patents In the cat
tie country.
r. F. Gillaspie, one OF the parties named
in two Of the suits, is now under indict-
ment by the federal grand jury for con-
spiracy and alleged subornation of perjury
in seeking to defraud the government Of
title to certain public land All Of the
lands In question involved il, these suits
are located in Cherry county.
