HOPKINS TO
BE ASSESSOR
CHIEF DEPUTY WILL SUCCEED
BEN E. WARD
HAS SUPPORT OF FORMER AS
SCISSORS FRIENDS
Anno;ntment viii Be Made as Soon
as Supervisor EIdridse Returns
from Vacatlon-M achine
Will Accept Him

n w. Hopkins, chief deputy of the
county assessors office, will be appointed
by the board of supervisors as successor
to Mr.. Ward. This fact was unofficially
announced yesterday.
He has the hearty support of those who
favored Mr.. Ward in the last campaign,
and is not considered antagonistic to the
machine.
He is the man for the place, in the
opinion of the leaders of court house
politics.
Ne is familiar with the Ward methods
of conducting the office of assessor and
if he is appointed will follow on the
same lines of official activity that char
acterized Mr.. Ward
A member of the baord of supervisors,
which body will determine the appoint
ment of successor to Mr.. Ward, said
yesterday:
"IIopkins is really the only man whom
l want to get the position. He is capable
in every respect. He is familiar with all
the duties required of him, and he, If
anybody at all, will follow up the policy
of Mr.. Ward. When the time comes for
voting on his appointment 1 will throw
my influence in his favor"
Hopkins Ready for Job
1t is generally understood that Hopkins
will accept the vacant position should 1t
be rendered to him.
He stated yesterday that If appointed
he would do his duty as he thought 1t
should be done. and he saw no better
way of performing it than following the
example set by Mr. Ward
For some unknown reason Mr.. Hopkins
is likewise favored by the machine"
He is not a machine man, as those who
know him are well aware. 1t Is thought
the machine is making the best of a
number of difficulties which the death of
Mr.. Ward has brought upon it.
The matter will clear up as soon as
Supervisor Eldridge returns from Cata-

tation except upon dollar for dollar
basis. II a newspaper, or any one else,
desires to contract with q newspaper
to do work for railroad to be paid for
in advertising, the commission consid-
ers that such a party has a perfect
right to do so, but the order OF the
commission prevents the railroad from
giving transportation upon this or any
other basis in excess of the value OF
the consideration given in return.
Commenting on the order the At
lanta Journal says.
This is position which will be APP
proved by the general public OF the
sttae Of Georgia. 1t is founded on wis
dom and common sense. as applied to
business dealings Where the charge
for advertising and the charge for
transportation are at the established
rates charged the general public, there
would seem to be no warrant In law or
equity for the railroad commission or
any other authority, to say that these
respective charges should be paid In
gold or silver or currency, and not In
commodities. Since money Is merely
the representative of values, voluntar-
lily adopted to avoid the more cumber-
some system of barter, which is the
essence of the transaction, the parties
at interest should be free to barter d.
rectly IL they desire to do SO, and on
this basis a newspaper has perfect
right to exchange its advertising space
for railroad transportation.

public has to pay.

Governor A. B. Cummins comes for
ward with the proposition that the
governor be given power to remove To-
cal officers and offers it to the people
as a cure for the liquor lawlessness all
over the state of Iowa. He seeks the
endorsement of the Ministerial Assoc
citation of Des Moines, and thru them
the temperance people of the state,
urging in his letter Of yesterday that
they get the results Of their action be-
fore the people. I have visited and
conducted temperance meetings in
states where such laws is in force and
feel that owe it to the people of Iowa
to warn them against giving their sup
port to the governors proposition. The
power vested in the governors to re-
move local officers as an effective
measure to enforce the general viela-
ton of the liquor laws is colossal
failure and I challenge him to prove
it's efficiency. He wrote out COVER
nors removal bill three years ago
when the legislature was in session, so

has been under cover, neither offered
to the legislature or published. Why
not Mr.. Governor publish your bill and
give the temperance people the privl-
lege of reading and criticise it. This Is
a time when the people of Iowa can not
afford to rush hastily to the support
of measure they know little or
nothing about. The last state mar
