Not only were financial relations
broken off, but fraternal as well, and
henceforth passwords, rituals and
policy forms of the A. o. u. w. in
this state will be entirely different
from those in other states which re-
main under the jurisdiction of the
supreme lodge.
The A. o. U. w in Washington is
the seventh jurisdiction to break
away from the supreme lodge, SINH
lar action having been taken by the
jurisdictions of Kansas, Nebraska,
Massachusetts, Colorado, Missouri
and the provinces of Canada.
For the time being the Washing
ton jurisdiction will retain the pres
ent name, continuing as the A. o. u.
W., jurisdiction of Washington A
change in name is being strongly
urged in the grand lodge, however,
and ultimately the 1000 policyhold-
ers in the state will be banded to-
gether under a different designation.
The formal notice to the supreme
lodge of severed relations will be
sent tomorrow night.
a vast number of amendments to
the constitution and bylaws of the
order will be necessitated by today's
action. All reference to the supreme
lodge will have to be stricken out
and several departures in the present
plan of insurance, details of which
the grand lodge is not ready to make
public, will have to be provided for.
H. G. Comegys of Snohomish was
elected to the four-year trusteeship
and F. o. Cox of Waitsburg to the
tiveyear term. George Use of Spo-
kane was elected grand outside
watch.
A strong invitation from Wenat-
chez was received for the next meet
ing and also one from Spokane. A
large share of the delegates favored
Wenatchee, but as usual there was
faction led by the Seattle delega-
ton which urged the selection of Sc
attic. Spokane probably will be
chosen.

viii Operate on Independent Basi,

Tacoma, April 10. All relations
between the supreme lodge of the
Ancient Order of United Workmen
and that division of the order in the
state of Washington known as the
grand lodge, Washington jurisdic-
ton, were severed this afternoon.
Almost the entire second day of
the annual sitting of the grand lodge
was devoted to discussion of the adj
visibility of cutting off relations with
the parent body and decisive action
came near the close of the days ses-
sion, the grand lodge resolving itself
back from committee of the whole
into which it had gone during the
forenoon to consider the matter.
The grand receiver was directed to
draw voucher on the grand lodge in
favor of the supreme lodge for $43.-
525, being the total amount of the
grand lodges Indebtedness and obi
cation to the supreme body.

or the executive council
who might have authority to sell
would conclude that was all it was
worth, but the people of the state
would insist that it should not be
sold at that price, holding it should
bring at least $3.50 per acre and
that it would bring that amount If
the authorities would endeavor to
get it,, Could it be consistently
claimed that for the legislature OF
the executive council, as the case
might be, to take plebiscite of the
state would be to reveal a weakness
and indicate a lack of official STAN
ina? Moral questions must and
should be considered regardless Of
popular opinion and sentiment, but
when it comes to a trade agree
ment between the people of Iowa
ard the people of another counGly
the people of the state have right
to be heard.

COMING BACK TO IOWA.

A Mason City dispatch says that
Oil nearly every train running
through northern Iowa immigrants
are returning to the state. Ten and
fifteen years ago, and in fact up TO
last year, the flow was toward Can
ada, North and South Dakota, Mon
tana and other western and north
western states, but now the cry with
many is "back to Iowa" 1t is said
that during the past three weeks
e!ghty-three families who had NOV
ed from Emmett county seeking new
homes have returned. In some cases
they sold their Iowa farms, bought
others, and now return HARMLESS and
perhaps homeless. OF those who left
Emmett county and have returned,
not one comes back as we'll fixed as
wien they went to the new country.
Iowa is not the only state in the
union, but the Freeman-Tribune is
firmly convinced that it is the best
in the union, except portions of Hi
nois, for agricultural purposes, and
it feels that the farmer who owns a
farm in this state makes great
mistake when he sells his farm here
and buys in some of the boom sec
tions. That is, if he expects to con-
tinue tilling the soil. If he is able
to retire and to hold unproductive
land he may make good money by
selling at 500 per acre and buying
at $40, but that is not a sure prop-
osition.

ADVERTISING SCHEME.

Jud Welliver, formerly of Des
Moines, Sioux City and Fort Dodge,
now one of the prominent Washing
ton correspondents and magazine
writer's, does not take the "Des
Moines plan" seriously. He says 1t
is an advertising scheme pure and
simple and that the people OF ths
capital city work it upon every pos
sihle occasion. In d magazine arti-
Gle Mr.. Welliver says:
1.-The Des Moines plan" Of govern
ment by commission was invented
for advertising purposes. 1t is valu-
60 al Des Moines as an institution
which has given the town more adj
veltising than 1t could have bought
for half million dollars. Every
citizen Of the town, republican.
democrat, prohibitionist or socialist,
considers 1t his first duty to boom
th. plan at every opportunity.
When Col. Young was in the senate
OF the United States he made a
speech on the Des Moines plan and
had it printed in the Congressional
Record and circulated throughout
the country at the expense Of the
government. This was the colonel's
contribution to the Greater Des
Moines committee. His less talent
ell fellow citizens who couldn't
make speeches, nor induce the mag
azine to print their stun outside OF
the advertising columns. had to pay
cash.
The Des Moines plan, a plaa
whereby the city government is nec-
essarily thrown into the hands Of
professional politicians, is the hig-
gest fake ever imposed on our credu-
lous countrymen since the days Of
the Cardiff giant It's spread FROM
Galveston to Maine and from Bos-
ton to Seattle reminds us that The
American people love to be humbug-
ged.

congress need NOT

delegation in congress need NOT
worry about any embarrassment
that may come through any declar-
alton Of the national platform next
year. Moreover, the platform is liz
able to be quiet on the subject or it
is just as apt to oppose the agree
ment as to endorse it. There is no
question but that large majority
of republicans are opposed to it and
but for democratic support it could
not be ratified by congress.
The Freeman-Tribune believes the
United States would gain by the
ratification of the agreement and
fol that reason is in favor of it, but
it doesn't care continental what
position the next republican. nation
al platform takes. If experience
proves the wisdom of the agreement
this paper will continue supporting
it, regardless of any platforms, but
if a trial condemns it no delicacy
will prevent confession of error

NOT PARALLEL CASES.

In eXpatiating upon the position
CT Senator Kenyon upon the Canadi-
an reciprocity pact the Davenport
Times relieves itself of the follow
ing:
In selecting a senator it is pre-
sumed party dominates and he
legislature elects a man who has
more than ordinary ability; man
fitted for the position by broad ex-
perience, deep learning, and good
Judgment. If this is the case, then
why should a senator not exercise
his judgment, draw upon his expert
cree and apply his learning to the
business in hand. Does a judge take
a plebiscite of community to de-
termine how he shall construe the
law-whether he will please all OF
whether he shall do what the la&
says? There was doubt about slav-
ery-but those who ignored what
was justice and what was right did
rot gain anything however much 1t
the time they may have reflected the
majority opinions Of their constitu-
ents.
In the judgment of the Freeman
Tribune there is no parallel between
the things cited by the Times and
the proposition under cons dc att =.
A judge is supposed to construe the
law regardless of what 1t is or who
will be benefited by his decree. A
legislature is supposed to make a
law that will be fair and equitable
and insure to the people their
rights. The Judge has no right to
consider public opinion in the dis
charge OF his duty upon the bench,
but the reverse is true of the legis-
lature in the consideration of laws
affecting business propositions and
trade agreements. The Times allu-
sion to slavery is foreign to the sub
ject of reciprocity. Slavery was q
moral as Well as a business PROPOSE
ton and could not be defended from
the viewpoint of humanity. No sucn
question is involved in the agree
ment with Canada. That Is purely
d business propositions trade, a
bargain, commercial consideration
and the representative in congress
who feels that 1t is not fair to this
country, or has doubts Of its results,
not only has the right to consult his
constituency and be guided by their
Judgment, but it is his duty to- do
So. Suppose the people of Iowa had
a big farm for sale and received an
offer of 500 per acre. The state

Yes, if it requires congressional
action to get the coats off Of mail
carriers this hot weather congress
ought to get busy and do the job.
Even some city councils have per
mitted the police department to re-
move the coat during the heated
term and surely congress will not
permit a city council to demonstrate
that 1t has more sense than the
national organization of law makers.
Some day, perhaps, railroad officials
who sit in the big Offices beneath
electric fans will get an idea regard
ing common things and issue an
edict cancelling the present order

TAXATION.

.aH ~
The question of more equitable
division Of the burden of taxation,
between country and town property
is being earnestly discussed all over
the state. Frank Pierce, Of the Iowa
League of municipalities, appeared
before the executive council in Des
Moines a few days ago and asked
the council to make better adjust
ment of values. He presented fig
ures secured from various cities in
the state showing that real estate in
the cities and towns is assessed at
very near full value. From num-
Der of cities he had figures show
ing that on sales aggregating $780,
600 the assessment was 100000 or
II per cent. Gin fact" he said. "the
assessment on urban property is
more nearly 80 per cent OF actlal
value, while we have figures show
ing that on farm property it is less
than SO per cent"
If Mr.. Pierce would Investigate
this matter here in Webster City he
would find that not only is city
property assessed higher proportion
ately than country property, but he
would discover that farm lands
within the corporate limits are val
ued for purposes of taxation about
third higher than adjoining farms
| Of equal real value just outside the
jurisdiction of the city, hence be-
yond the reach of the city council.
| II is not necessary to increase farm
values to equa,ize the burdens Of
taxation. A reduction of urban
values to correspond with rural
values would be the better way.
This would simply be an exemplifi-
cation of the square deal and no
fair-minded man could object to t..
The people of the towns Of the state
ought to take the matter up AMI
make an issue of it, to the end that
justice may be secured to all inter
ests.

Some political prognosticators are
predicting that panic as far reach
ing as that of 1893 is due in about
two years and will come sooner II
democrats win the presidential cleo
tion Of 1912. If we are to have a
panic perhaps It would be we'll to
let the democratic party take its
place at the presidential pie coun-
ter, then the country would get in
readiness for what was in store for
It.
