I . mass meeting the , democracy of Nebraska to gather in Lincoln on i ir r , Monday , Feb. 14 , as participants ( in a dollar banquet. . . . . . We do this in conformity with a precedent followed for many years in the holding of such meetings at the capitol city for the benefit of I , the . ! democratic organization and I the propagation ot democratic doctrine. And we feel that this . . . year especially the advisibility of . /such . a gathering * is apparent , since .conditions more than ever demand . a vigorous campaign in every state in this union to . assert anew the I : gospel that principles and not { I . money should be the basis of the government at Washington. - I' ' : : . There has never been a time in , , recent years when the great mass I ' : . of the people were so heartily in favor -of ' democratic : doctrines as . 'now. There has never joeen ! a - . . time , when .the necessity for the ' " . establishment of ' those doctrines : ' ' ; was as plain. A republican ad- I ) ; . ministration finds . itself repudiated ' , I . 'Vand ; condemned by multitudes of : 1 republicans because it has depart- : Xed . still ' 'further from democratic , , principles than did the preceding > . = -.administration , and because such . - ' : democratic policies as the preced- I : ing : administration , .in partespous- N < ; ed the present administration.

( Special Correspondence. ) 1 Home rule has alwa.vbcpn a cardinal principle of tho demo cratic party. The principle . is as old as the party itself , for Jeffer , son included it among : the funda mentals. The Nebraska emoc- racy reiterated its belief in . the : . home rule principle : in its 1907 platform , declaring for local self- government in Omaha and South _ Omaha , the election of local as- sessors and placing a check on the arbitrary power of the state board of equalization. For years the republican " legis- latures busied themselves to enact laws empowering republican gov- ernors to appoint fire and police boards of the Om has. The pur- pose was ' plain - to give the re publican party , through the gov- ernor , the right to control for partisan purposes the fire and po lice commissions of two cities that . are normally democratic. The republican city of Lincoln was al- ways permitted to elect its own fire and police board. This was special legislation in its worst form - undemocratic , and ' in .vio lation of the first principles of oui government. , The democratic legislature of 1909 . did its full duty by the two Omahas. ' r . r It ' gave : to those two cities the rights enjoyed by other cities in the state , namely , to elect' their own boards of fire and police commissioners. The party was pledged to this. and the party re deemed the pledge in letter and in spirit. Certain selfish interests sought to invoke the doctrine of b home rule against all forms of regulatory legislation. The liquor ; interests and the railroad interests sought to invoke the home rule b doctrine to prevent needed regu- latory laws. But the democratic principle of home . rule does not mean that the state has no right to pass general . laws. It " simply means that the st.ate'shall pass no economical'r : : ( .of home rule , or local self-govern- ment. In this , the democratic r party stands on solid ground. It believes in treating ' all cities in . the ' state alike . It believes in equal rights to all , special privileges to none. It is opposed to sectloaal aud special legislation. , In another way the democratic party redeemed a platform pledge when it passed the local assessor law. The republican party had deprive . * the people of the right to ele'ct by enacting a law' that prohibited the voters from voting for the men who actually assessed the 'property. The democratic , legislature of 1909 changed this , invoking the Jeffersonian doctrine of self-government , and giving back to the people a right that never should have been taken from them. The democratic legislature of 1909 went even further. It took away from the state board of equalization the arbitrary power that it had been exercising in re assessing the property of the state under the guise of "equalization. " , The revenue laws passed by re- publican legislatures l gave five men . sitting \ ' as a board of equaliza tion the power to arbitrarily re assess the property of the citizens of the state. This was insidious ; undemocratic' unAmerican.The' board could raise the assessment of any county as it saw fit , and could do it without noticeor , ap peal. . . In many instances the board did so , raising the assessment from .1 t. to 100 per cent , and without i notice to the county's officials The democratic legislature of 1909 changed the law. It gave the board the right to equalize : the val ue of property by giving it the right to relone county , and low ! er another I'mthe purpose of I making the assessment uniform , but it provided that if the board undertook to increase the aggre- tate assessment , . of the state above I 9- the amount 'named returned by fthe ' various county assessor , no- , tice must be served on the coun- ' ties affected. The law now pro- viflesr that before the aggregate - - - - . . . , - . - . . . , " . " " . . . . . ; ' - - ' - - . . . . . . . - - . . - . . . . l . - . " .A . . ' . . - .

( _ board ' of equalization an arbi trary- , " power . vested therein by a republican ' legislature. The demo- cratic'party , ' so framed legislation as to give. the people something , to. say " as .to who should assess their property. ' T . , Under the democratic p'an ' property is assessed after an I actual view by an officer chosen z i by the people themselves It took I . . . the power 'of assessing , out of the hands of arbitrary board and assessors who were appointed , and placed it where it belongs - in the hands of the people. The demo- cratic party is in-favor of trusting the people. The republican party now , as in the past , disapproves of allowing the people to have full voice in their own . governmental . f affairs. ? . Recently we called attention to the fact that the republican secre- tary of the state banking board 'was demanding and receiving' an increased salary under the provis- ions of a law that had been declar- ed invalid. Under the old law the seert > t a : ry received a salary of 2,000 a year. ' The bank guaran tee . law provided for a salary of S3rOOO a year. Secretary Royce said the new law was bad and re- fused to let go when when Shallen- berger , undertook to " appoint a u a successor. Judge Munger then decided that the bank guarantee law was invalid. Secretary Royce then held to his job as provided by the old law. But he' insists , and receives , . the salary provided for by the law which was knocked out. But this is nothing strange , for republican . office holders. For several , years the statutes provided . a salary of 1,500 ( ) a year for dep- uty state officers. . But republican legislatures went right along ap , - propriating 1,800 each , and re publican auditors allowed the , claims , each one § 25 a month above : the legally fixed salary. NQw one i republican officeholder is being paid an extra 1,000 a year under .I , the provisions of _ a law that has been declared invalid on motion of republican bankers and politicians by a republican federal judge ap pointed by a republican president at the urgent solicitation of two republican U. S. senators. -Yet we have been hearing an awful howl from g. o. p. organs about "democratic . piebiters" and "dem ocratic salary grabbers. " . . - Dry Creek Cracklings.
