act, which the president has so long
begged congress to pass, is intended to
serve the same purpose in the state or
serve employees engaged in interstate
traffic. My worthy opponent was at
that time member of the Iowa state
senate. His vote and work is recorded
against the passage of the Temple
amendment. So great was the demand
for an amendment to this law to cure
the existing abuses, that the following
year both of the political parties passed
resolutions in favor of the passage OF
the Temple amendment Here was an
opportunity for real pioneer. Here
was a great work to be performed by
men whom we had sent to the state
legislature to perform it. 1t is not
difficult thing for one in the state leg
islature to draft resolutions, telling
congress what to do; but it often hap
pens that it Is more difficult thing
for such a one to perform the work at
hand, especially when that work Is the
passage of laws for the control OF rail-
way companieS

Foraker Versus Taft.
Washington Star. }


Senator Foraker doesn't like Secre-
tary Taft, and he makes no bones
about it. The Fire Alarm" had Wis
itor recently from Columbus. His name
was Kyle, and he frankly admitted to
the senator that he favored the war
secretary for president. But, he ADD
ed, II am not doing anything toward
assisting him in his candidacy.
"You are rich man and a good
speaker" answered Mr.. Foraker. with
these accomplishments, haven't you as
vet been drafted by the Taft army
"No. I haven't talked much about my
reference-maybe Taft doesn't Know
said Mr.. Kyle.
"You remind me of time l went to
circus when I was quite a youth,
Senator Foraker said. There were
some monkeys and balloons and orang-
outangs in cages. A negro slave passed
along Never before in his life mad ne
seen such animals. For some minutes
he stood before them, saluting them
and saying, 'Howdy, howdy, howdy,'
but there was no reply. Finally the
slave walked away. Soon he was back
again, for the monkey cages had pos
sessed him with a strange fascina-
ton.
'Howdy,' he said again to the big
gest one. There was no reply. Then he
turned away again. AS he was leaving
he said: Oats right Keep you alls'

"If you want to help Taft in his

TAX DETERMINATIONS.
(Des Moines News.)

1t has been said that just govern
ment is one that places all alike be-
fore the law That is true. But where
one class of property is taxed on an
entirely different basis from that of
another, resulting in wide variation
in the amount of taxes, there is not
fairness nor justice.
For illustration, take automobiles
and town lots in Des Moines. A man
pays $4,000 for an automobile, and
when the assessor calls around he
swears that it is worth $500, and 1T Is
listed for taxation at that value. An
other man has town lot with small
house and the assessor goes to the rec
ords and finds he paid $4,000 there
for. The assessment is made for $3,-
00O
The two men have expended an
equal amount for property, and one
is taxed ten times as much as the
other.
1t matters not that the cottage own
err is a wage Garner and the automo-
bile owner is 4 wage payer; this is not
sufficient to justify the discrimlna-
ton. In fact it emphasizes the injus-
tice.
OF course there is no way posslple
for making the tax burdens equal ana
establishing that perfect justice which
is the aim of all government; but such
gross and inexcusable determinations
as the ones pointed out can be avoid
ed. and it is somebody's fault that they
exist,

had testified before the committee for
the amendment and the notorious Ed
Hunter with railroad passes, had lob
bied against 1t. A scandal ensued. This
was in April, 1897 In June, 1897, the
democrats endorsed it at their state
convention. Then the republicans en-
dorsed it in their convention in August.
The next year, 1898, the Temple
amendment passed with nearly every
member voting for 1t and Trewin voted
for it then, as his pamphlet states.
The T-R knows that when James
H. Trewin was member of the state
senate he was known by the newspa-
per men who understood the politics of
that day as the leader of the railroad
crowd In 1901 he was selected by
Judge Hubbard and by ]. w. Blythe as
their candidate for governor against "A.
B. Cummins and he received the votes
of every railroad delegate in the Cedar
Rapids convention. He then moved
from Allamakee county to Cedar Rap
ids and when Judge Hubbard died, fell
heir to Hubbard's railroad clients. The
men who served with him know these
things and so do the newspaper men
who watched the game If he should
go to congress he could be trusted and
expected to take his place alongside
such men as Elkins and Aldrich Ffe

SOME CUNNING LITERATURE.

Voters in Marshall county opened in
their mail this morning some charac-
leristic literature which is sent out in
support Of the candidates, favored by
sthe special interests One pamphlet
sgives glowing eulogy of the ability of
Jim Trewin, candidate, for the republic

by press notices clipped from the
standpat or post office press. Another

railroad crowd in its fight to defeat the
Temple amendment, which sought to
protect railroad employees in the matter

pie amendment in 1898 and here is the
deception and the fraud.

and others, Judge and jury in his soli-
tude. If one place more than another
demands judicial poise and a quickened
sense of high responsibility, 1t is the
voting booth. 1t Is no place for maudlin
sentiment, jealous rage or vindictive-
ness, but for calm, dispassionate bal
ancing of issues, and comparison OF
men and accomplishment. When that
comparison has been made, when the
past seven years in Iowa have passed
under mental review. how is the com
mon citizen likely to vote on the sena-
torial question? For the old or the new
regime?

An employers liability act is not a
new thing in this state. In 1870 the
legislature of Iowa enacted law max
ing the railroads liable for damages
sustained by their employees, while in
the line of their duty. No sooner had
this measure become a law than these
companies, with the aid and shreWd-
ness of their attorneys, adopted a
scheme by which it was rendered
nugatory and of no effect. They formed
what they called a relief association
among their employees and compelled
such employees to sign a contract by
the terms Of which they withheld a
part of the employees salary
each month, to become part
Of such relief fund, and from this
fund.- all damages were to be paid to
their employees who were injured thru
the negligence of the railroad COM
panies. Stripped of all its verbiage,
the relief association and the contract
referred to completely nullit1ed the act
of the legislature. 1t meant that each
employe must suffer for the negligence
of the railroad company.
At the special session Of the Twen-
ty-sixth general assembly, Mr.. Tenn
pie introduced into the house of repre-
sentatives, an amendment to that Sec
ton of the code above referred to- to
the effect that railroad companies
should not take from their employees a
part of their wages to pay damages
caused by the negligence Of the rail-
road companies. This amendment
made all such contracts entered into
with the employees, void. 1t passed the
lower house by a large vote and was
sent to the senate, where 1t was killed.
The Temple amendment was intended
to serve the same purpose in the state
Of Iowa, that the employers liability

Senator Dolliver tainted the pro-

He spoke of the primary and the anti

he was silent as to why the state was

kind of republicans--were In control
of all of the legislatures up to 1907.
And when the Cummins progressive
forces got control of the legislature all
of this reform legislation was passed.
That was the secret of the bitterness
of the fight against Cummins in 1906.

would pass laws restricting the rail-
roads and corporations Dolliver

named as permanent chairman and
