LEvIES ARE HIGHER.

1t has long been argued that 1t
would make a better showing and
would cost the taxpayers no more II
valuations were high and levies
were low instead Of having the lev
les high and valuations low. The
Freeman-Tribune has held to the
theory that higher valuations means
higher taxes, at least in the towns
and cities. This may not be true
out in the townships, but as a rule
city councils make about as high
levies as they can under the law.
Take it here in Webster City as
an example. Last spring the city
council raised valuations to a con-
siderable per cent above the sum re-
turned by the assessor and the as
SCISSOR returned higher aggregate
values than ever before. On top Of
this the state executive council in
creased values here by ten per cent
on city real estate and II per cent
on farms within the city. This in

WHAT OF THE LAW?

The Dubuque Hotel Company is
|petitioning the board Of supervisors
and the city council to fix the as
sessed value Of the assured new ho-
tel to replace the destroyed Julien
at $4,000, beginning from January
/ of next year. and for period of
ten years.
The petition should be granted.
The construction Of this hotel is of
the nature Of a civic enterprise.
Practically every dollar OF its stock
was subscribed from a patriotic mo-
tive. And to tax municipal patrio-
tism which takes the form of such
enterprise would be serious mis-
take.-Dubuque Telegraph-Herald.
The Dubuque paper is advocating
the principle Of law violation. The
board of supervisors and the city
council have no right to do the thing
which they are asked to do. Du-
buque has been claiming its new ho-
tel is to cost quarter of a mill.
lion OF dollars. A hotel is purely a
business proposition. The men who
put their money into hotels are, in
some instances, induced to do so by
civic pride and to help the town
along. The same thing is often true
of investments in other enterprises.
But they are business propositions
and taxing boards have no right to
treat them as charitable institutions.
There are other hotels in Dubuque.
The proprietors OF the other houses
will have to meet the competition of
the new one. They are probably
paying taxes upon the same basis as
other business institutions of the
city and they are entitled to the
.
same considerations as their COM
petitors. Really, the only thing for
public officials to do in matters Of
this kind is to obey the law and
treat all interests alike. Besides,
every taxpayer in Iowa is interested
in this matter. True the interest Is
small. but it is there just the same.
II this quarter Of a million dollar
property is assessed at only one
tenth Of what 1t should be. the state
will get only one-tenth of the tax 1t
should get from this hotel property.

POLITICAL NONSENSE.

The disposition of the postofflce at
Hillsboro, Iowa, in the First district,
is causing lot of correspondence.
It is fourth class Office, and under
civil service. An examination un-
der the civil service regulations was
held, in which five candidates for
postmaster were examined, three re-
publicans and two democrats.
The result Of the examination was
that the three who got on the elig-
ible list were all republicans. They
are William and Edna Ferree, the
son and daughter Of the postmaster,
and William Sanderson, rural mail
carrier. The two democrats failed to
land in the eligible list.
Democratic leaders in the vicinity
have taken up with Representative
Pepper, and also with other demo-
Gratis on the delegation, the question
of how to prevent one of the repub-
licans getting the Office and how to
get one of the democrats in.
If the civil service law is adher-
ed to. one of the three eligibles must
be chosen. Republicans, however,
charge that there is widespread
movement to disregard the civil SER
vice rules and fill the fourth class Of
fees with democrats. Washington

The statement that Uncle Joe
Cannon will try to get into congress
again from the Danville district is
denied by some of his standpat
friends. But there is no telling what
Uncle Joe will try. He still insists
that he is going to live one hundred
years or die in the attempt. A man
of that force of character is not go
ing to relinquish position and pow
er without more than one defeat if
there is any reason to believe that
he is not obliged to. Hence it will
not be surprising if the ex-speaker
will try to come back. 1t is evil
dent, at least, that the standpatters
are annoyed by the possibility of
Mr.. Cannon doing that very thing.
They know he is of the past and
they also know that it was such
leadership as that of Cannon, Pen
rose, Crane, Barnes and others of
their way OF thinking and acting
that brought crushing defeat to the
republican party.

Why not do it upon business prin-
ciples, as railroads, express compan-
les, banks, manufacturing and other
institutions do? Why not select men
for positions of this character be-
cause Of their capacity and merit in
stead of because of their politics? A
postmaster has nothing to do with
shaping legislation and so far as the
policies OF the administration are
concerned it makes absolutely no
difference who is postmaster at
Hillsboro, but there seems to be a
panic there because there is not a
democrat in the vicinity who has
brains enough to run the postohice
and it would be fearful thing for
President Wilson to appoint a re-
publican. When a member of the
Legislature or of congress is to be
chosen, or a governor or president
selected, or whenever any other Of
ficer having anything to do with the
advancement of certain principles or
policies, is to be elected, it is well
enough to consider politics, but in
the minor Offices, especially those of
merely clerical and business respon-
abilities, the best men among the
candidates should be selected, re-
gardless Of whether they happen to
vote the republican or the demo-
cratic or some other ticket. But in
considering the postmastership OF
Hillsboro it is even suggested that
the civil service law should be ig-
nored in order to keep the Office
from going into competent hands be-
cause those hands voted for Taft in
stead of for Wilson. What nom
sense. But it is the custom and
there is no difference between the
parties in matters OF this kind. But
why not get away from such foolish
ness? Why not make merit the
test?It was only few years ago that
railroad mail clerks, city carriers
and clerks in the department at
Washington had to serve the party
in power or get out. 1t was thought
this was the only way to do. But
civil service overturned that "prin-
ciple" and now such clerks are safe
in their positions. regardless of poll
tics, so long as they give satisfact-
DRY service. President Taft put
fourth class postmasters under civil
service, but the democratic admins
tration seems determined to take a
backward step in this matter and do
what 1t can to restore such postmas-
ters to the spoils system.
1t Is the wit and policy Of sin to
hate those we have abused.-Dave-
