WILD CAT SOtlKMFS
The consideration which the farmers
of the country generally nro giving to
the subject ot nmeltornting tholr condib
J
tion Is to bo heartily commondud nnd
oucotiragod The doproailon ot the nflf
rlcultural Interest is a matter of very
grave concern to the whole people It
nffocls the prosperity ot every commord
clal IntorcBt nnd Is a chock to the mat
terlnl progress of the nation
If our fnrmors were united In their
endeavor to nrocuro roliot , nnd tholr efforts -
forts ( centered In favor of roform9 that
nro within tholr roach , their condition
would within a very brlot period bo mar
terlnlly improved Unfortunntoly tholr
strength and inlluonco Is bolng wasted
upon visionary sohomo3 nnd upon nos-
trums t recommended by agitators and
politlcnl quacks Ordinarily our farm
orsaro glftod with a good dent of pracr
tlcal ( , horsi sense , but whenever times
are hnrd , money is scarce and the
price I of farm products low , they lese
their ( lovol-hoadcd sense and jump nt
any wildcat scheme that promlsos them
inoro money or rellof from tholr croaltj
ors (
Within the past three months potl-
tlons have been rocolved and bills Intro
dticcd i in congress , "by request , " for
the ' most impractlcnblo ot measures of
roltof I und rcdross All these schemes
are ' , paternal in tholr nature and on-
tlroly 1 beyond the nowors and functions
of ' our government , or , for that mnttor ,
any I other government For instance ,
It I ' is proposed that the government
all I all build elevators , warehouses nnd
corn ' cribs all over the country , store
the surplus products of the farmer and
ndvnnco ' thom olghty per cent of the
market vnluo of such products at a very
low rate of interest until disposed of by
the owners IIow could the government
go Into * the storage , commission and
loan business :1 And what branch of the
government should take charge of all
this storage and loan agency ? If the
surplus products of the farmers are to
be stored , why not also store the sur
plus products of our factories and mills ?
Another scheme which is spreading
like a nralric flro among westprn farmers -
ors is that the government shall loan
money nt two per cent to all farmers
who are in debt , and hold the farms as
security for the payment of principal
und interest Could there bo anything
mora visionary nnd impracticable ? If
the government Is to como to the rcliof
of men who have mortgaged their
farms , it must also loan money to the
workingnicn whoso homes ore mort
gaged ; to tlio merchant und
manufacturer whoso morchandipo
and wares are subject to
seizure by creditors In fuct , it would
have to como to the rescue of everybody
who lias gene into debt nnd everybody
who desires to go into business pro
vided they can sccuro the government
by a mortgage on a town lot , a mill , a
fnotory or a farm
Our farmers should bear in mind
that they nro not the only people who
are in debt by reason of hard
times On the uverngo between two
hundred and llfty and three hundred
business firms go Into bankruptcy every
week and tholr assets have to bo given
up to faatlsfy their croditers Why
should not the government help these
men tide eVer their distress and pull
them out of the hole by loaning thom
money at two per coot ? Is it rational
or reasonable to ask the government to
undertake for any ono class what it will
not do for another class ? The furmors
should dismiss from their minds all
foolish notions about looking to the
government for relief from debt
Our government is not insti
tuted for such purposes All that
our farmers have a right to oxpoci and
demand of the government is that it
shall not grant Bpecial privileges to ono
class at the expense of another ; that it
shall protect thom from unjust exactions
bv the tnx gatherer and public carrier ,
and pursue a policy that will prevent i
combinations , syndicates and trusts
from levying tribute upon the producer
nnd consumer
Iowa's new uovnnson
Per the first time in thirty-five years
Iowa has a domocratlo governor The
delayed inauguration of Governor Boles 1
was marked by a dogroc of domocratlo
Interest and enthusiasm comraonsurato
with a duo appreciation of the event '
from a party standpoint Not only was 1
the democracy of Iowa lnrgoly ropro-
sontcd at Des Moines , but the party in
other states furnished large dologa-
tlons to swell the chorus of gratification -
tion at the return of democratic 1
administration in the Hawkeye state
So far as the demonstration ;
was concerned , the now nd-
ministration began auspiciously , and if h ,
is doubtless the wish of all good citlzons >
of Iowa that it will make a record-to the 1
honor nnd advantage of the state ,
Tlio inaugural addro3s of Governor
Botoa is elaborate , and very clearly and
intelligently defines his position on the '
important questions which will demand
locislntlvo attoution Ho falls into line
with the advocates of ballot reform , and I
without specifying any particular sys-
torn , urges that the moat olloclual '
way to banish from nil cice
tlons the corrupt use ot inouoy ,
and secure to the state the unbiased 1
judgment of each elector , is to compel 1
thodopnslt of a secret ballot Uogurd-
lug the railroads the attitude of the
governor is conBorvatlvo While ho i
would maintain the right of the state to
exercise in the IntoroJtof the public a
most careful supervision over every
mode of transportation within its juris- ,
diction , ho would have this right so
exercised us not to cripple the railroads
and discourage tholr development in i
the state "It is no wrong to the rail
iway iniorests of this sfito , " bays
itho governor , that our people aosiro i ;
they only demand that their own intop-
rests shall bo fairly treated * ' There Is
jnothing It ; what Governor Uolos ( .ays
respecting the railroads which the cor-
pporntions can reasonably Ilnd fault with i ,
and on the ether hand the people may
find in it u good dual to approve It
does not afford ground , however , for
any safe or satisfactory inference as to
whut the governor might do regarding
lailroadlegislation On thosubjoctof the
tariff Governor Bolos tukos no oqulvo-
cal position "We have followed this [
dolusloa of a protective tariff , " ho says ,
with the blind fulth ot a devotee ,
listening 1 ! to the most decopth'o ot nrgiin
monts , believing In the most potent ot
fnllaclos , " and ho concludes : Let It
bo understood that the people ot this
state demand cheap clothing , cheap
fuel f , , cheap implomouts ot labor in
short , cheap necessaries "
The mo3t important part of the address -
dress rclntos to the question of prohibi
tion , to which the governor gives extended -
tended consideration nnd intelligent
discussion Ho says rognrdltyj the p"0-
hlbllory \ law that "no statute was
over supplied with better facills
* tlos for its enforcement , or
armed with moro oxcosslvo
penalties tor its violation , considering
the nature ot the nets prohibltod , nnd
yet with all its terrors , with every
branch of the state government in the
hands ) of Its friends , it litis lain limp
and lifeless , ignored , disregarded and
despised in mot ot the largo cities of
the t state from tiio day of Us birth to the
present , time " Ho assorts that the
friends f of the law ignore the real situi
atlon nnd assume too much , exaggerating -
ing j the extent of intemperate habits
among i the people before its enact
ment , and equally so the diminution
of such habits slnco it bo-
catno oporatlvo Ho declares that it
cannot be demonstrated that the use of
intoxicating ; liquors as a beverage in
Iowa j has diminished slnco the law took
effect , , while it is tt patent fact that in
many , of the cities , containing a largo
fraction j of the pooulntion , the only
offectof ( tlio law has boon to relieve the
tralllc , in liquors from local rostrattit of
every , kind Furthermore , ho says it is
notorious : that in the largo cities of the
state , where the open saloon has been
closed , a secret traftlo sufficient to
supply , all the wants of the
trade has immediately followed The
governor does notngroo with these who
!
argue that it is better that this busi
ness should bo conducted in violation
of ( law than it is that it bo conducted In
pursuance thereof , and ho mikes a
vigorous argument for a policy of high
license and local option , so that tlio
liquor traffic shall bo taken out of im
moral and irresponsible ) handsand com
munities that do not want it can ex
clude It ' What ho says on this sub
ject , which will ho found In full else
where in our columns , is well worthy
the attention of those interested in it
nnsmmiTuw question
The action of the state nuditor in
refusing to register the Omaha school
bonds voted at the lust city election
will , in our opinion , neccssitato the
resubmission of the school bonds propo
sition Lending nttornoys may con
sider the bonds valid , and for aught wo-
know they are valid It is however ,
essential that these bonds shall bo
registered in the auditors olllce in
order to remove all possible doubt from
the minds of investors Any flaw in
thobondshowover trivial and technical ,
would affect tholr soiling price if it
did not absolutely prevent a sale
The shortest way out of the dUIlculty
is a now election and a full compliance
with nil the requirements prescribed
by the auditor
The only point on which the auditor
may bo at variance with a sound con
struction of the law is upon the qualifi
cation of voters The auditor insists
that only mon and women who own
real cstato or have paid a personal pro
perty tax or who have children in at
tendance at school are entitled to vote
at a school election Section 1 of nrtl-
clo VII of our state constitution defines
the rlghtsof suffrage as follows :
Every mate person of the ago of 21 yecrs
or upwards , belonging to either of the fol
lowing classes , who shall have resided in the
state sU months , and in the souuty precinct
or ward for tlio term provided by law , shall
bo an elector :
1. Citizens of the United States
2. Persons of foroicn birth who shall novo
declared their intention to become citizens
conformably to the laws of the Uuitcd
States on the subject of naturalization
nt least thirty * days prior to an oleotlcn
Section 22 , article I , Bill of Rights ,
provides that all elections shall bo free
and there sna I bo no hindrance or Im
pediment to the right ot a qualified
voter tooXorolso the qlective franchise
Tlio legislature may under certain
conditions ' grant women the privilege
to vote at school elections , but any law
that will impose a property quaiifica-
tion upon a male citizen who
is an doctor and hns a right '
to vote nt any election would be an im
pediment and in dlroct contravention
ot tlio Bill of Rights und constit tlonal
provisions regarding the right of suf-
frngo
So much is clear and beyond contro-
vorsy At least wo do not suppose that ;
any lawyer or even law student would
contend to the contrary
On this point , however , the state nu-
ditor is hardly disposed to make a quib
ble IIi3 objections , fortified by decl-
sions of the courts , uro chlofly to tno i
tact that the proclamation was i
isfiuod by the mayor , and the point
raised that the number of votes cast for
the bonds was not a majority of ull the !
votes eiibt at that election , and further
more that no provision was made in the 1
proclamation for a tax levy to moot the '
interest on the bonds
These objectionable features can i
only bo eliminated by utiotlior election
That election should bo hold as soon as i
the law will permit , ns there is no time
to lese
