THE LINN COUNTY ASSESSMENT.

What; in the meantime, was the sx-
ecutive council 10 do with the Linn
county assessment
The local assessors and the county
equaliZing board OF Linn county had
ALREADY nxed the assessaole values Tor

took the Linn county assessment as
the basis OF equalization. Il neither
raised nor lowered the Linn county
assessment.

PAYING FOR ADVICE.
Irlinfnn Herald

Judge Lee says if he had been gov
erllur. he would have called speclai
session of the legislature before equal
izing assessments. That's the way 10
start a campaign against eXtraVa-
gance! A special session of the legis-
lature would cost $1,000 per day, and
since the legislature has nothing on
the good green earth to do with as
sessments, il would be $1,000 day Tor
advice to the governor.
Governor Clarke has had plenty OF
advice, of the very best quality, and
of all kinds. II hasn't cost the state
cent. Why should Iowa pony up
$1,000 a day for the instruction OF
Judge Lee in the duties OF the office
he asp.res to?

p.cbed by congressional committee
comes to light, an interesting suit -
being heard in Rhode Island. II 10 the
suit OF former convict against pris-
on contractor for wages the convict
alleges are due him.
He holds, thru his counsel, that men
are sent to prison as a punishment.
They are not thereby reduced to slav-
cry. They do not thereby lose their
rights to sell their labor at prevailing
market prices, in event their labor Is
desired. They are free men In that
respect, and so the suit Il to collect
the difference between tho miserable
pittance he was allowed by the prison
contractor and the wages paid men not
in prison who were doing the same
work he was.
Between the two, the utterly inde-
feasible system of prison contract Ia
Dor should receive hard jolt As has
been demonstrated in two or three
commemorative and suggested in
many others. the place for convict Ia
Dor is on the public roads where it does
not come in competition with free Ia
Dor, where the state gets the direct
and sole benefit of the work and
where the convict gets that outdoor
work and contact with nature that
aids in his reformation.

CLIFFORD THoRNE.


Clifford Thorne has stirred up the
railway pleaders more than any other
one man has stirred them up for sew
eral years, and one OF the chief argu-
ments raised against Thorre Is that he
is railway commissioner Of Iowa and
therefore represents the voters ana
not the shippers, and that after all
Iowa is one of a group OF granger
states out west that doesn't know any
thing about the real business of oper-
ating railways in the east. The New
York times. for instance. says:
LAS the reputed spokesman for the
commissioners of eight granger states
his words reveal such a ,portentious
mixture OF Instrumentation and malice
that the prospect for any advance or
rates seems postponed until after a
change of political sentiment in the
west But the states concerned are
understood to repudiate the commits
sioner for Iowa altlo he has said
that they paid his expenses, and IT
may be that Iowa itself may disoWn
its own son. The citizens OF Iowa are
too honest to allow themselves to be
represented by an official who flies
false colors. and that charge has been
made publicly against = Commissioner
Thorne. AS the chairman of the Iowa
commission he obviously is the repre-
sentative of the taxpayers, and would
ne in false position as the representa-
tive of shippers.
Mr. Thorne is repudiated BY a few
people OF Iowa because ne has been
q progressive all the time and has
rot been afraid to give expression TO
his ideas. He is not prepossessing in
apDearance-in fact look a. him
would give some basis 10 the idea that
he represents a granger state. But
when ne opens his grip and piles the
maps and statistics out on the table
and begins TO make MS arguments
and quotes from the official documents
Of the railways themselves he throws
such a confusion into the ranks OF
those who are special rleaders for the
eastern railways that their only resor;
is TO say that he has enemies at home
and he represents a granger state.

His words are an echo Of the sentimentv
OF those who have the welfare Of theI

A meeting held at Des Moines early
that there was strong sentiment
against kicking up party row. II
was striking because in a convention

loyalty to the old guard, enough OF op
position developed to prevent the
launching Of boom for candidate
against Mr.. Cummins. Some OF the
bitter ones in that meeting refused to
heed the warning. They persisted and
with the continuance of the gatherings
the number of cohorts seems to have
dwindled. The Savage candidacy was
last resort-a serious mistake. II
does no harm it will be because the re-
suit is what the outlook signifies. 9

These are strange words coming
from a paper the editorial policy OF
which has never been aligned with MI
C,lmmins or his interests. 1t neverthe-
less comes from the heart, written IN
full consciousness that there Is plenty
of work ahead Of republicans In Iowa
aside from that OF trying to cut eacn
