Alter the cross-examination. of willlam Barker was concluded Alderman Charles Huber was placed on the stand and he proved the star witness of the day. Alderman Huber spoke fromf experience and his testimony was given with consid- erable feeling. He told of how he aleo had been induced on another occasion to take a trip to Webb City and how $5,000 of his hard earned money found its way into the strong box of the Webb City Athletic club, Alderman Huber always Insisted that he recovered his money at the point of a re- volver, but nothing to this ecffect was brought out in his testimony.

IOWA, | CUMMINS SOUNDS KEYNOTE Oandidaoy for Renomination Formally Launched at Des Moines. REITERATES PLATFORM OF PAST YEARS Not Only Stands by the Towa Iden, but Will Seek to Have the Na- tional Convention of 1904 Endorse It, \ (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES, Ia., March 14.—(Spectal.)— The republicans of Jowa were today given a political keynote from their candidates | of this year for governor, for when Gov. ernor A. B. Cummins had been unanimously recommended by the Polk county republi- ! cans in convention for remomination and | was called before the convention for a speech, he delivered himself of an utter- ance that set at rest all doubt as to what will be his attitude in the coming cam- | paign and next year. The governor had but recently returned from Washington where he met the president and leaders of congross. | any one but himself, but he made it very plain that he will not recede in the 1 trom the advanced position he has taken in support of the Iowa republican plattorm in relation to ihe tariffs. The convention nominated a county ticket and indorsed the | candidacy of the governor, and when be | was called on he sald in part Stands by Platform, With respect to our platform of the last | two years upon the subject of the tariff let | me say at once that I beifeve in every word that we have uttered. Time and reflectior | have but intensified my views and I un: | hesitatingly say that while I am not wedde 1 | {to any form of expression the idea ur | thought contained In our platform is not only right, which ought to end the contro- versy, but s, as I am profoundly con- vinced, essentlal to the continued success | 9%, the ‘arty, and 1 say to you rankly that |1 intend to do whatsoever ies in my powe. to Introduce into the national platform of next year the thought to which the repub- licans of Jowa have aiready glven utter- | There 18 no conflict whatsoever be- | atform and anything that | tween the lowa has ever been vention, but It 'y from time to | time in'our platforms to apply the polictes | and the principles of the party to affairs | as they at the time exist. In making this suggestion let it be fully understood that this s a controversy within the party, from which the democrats must be rigor- | ously excluded and from which they must tuke no encouragement whatsoever, for th: reason that whatever may be the 'form of expressing the doctrines of the party, we are all loyal republicans, and we ail Know a government administered by the repub- lican party is Letter than any government that could possibly be administered by any other political organigation known to the American people. 'With these preliminary Buggeations let me recur again to the tariff. We are all profound bellevers in the policy of protection. Notwithstanding the statement of an eminent republican, 1e- cently made, I venture to say that protec- | tion "is not' only practically sound, but thearetically sound.” It is not only vindi- cated by the experience of our people, but can be defended by the highest and most exact processes of abstract reason. One more suggestion and 1 shall have finished. 1 haye heard some criticlsm re- specting that clause in our platform of last year which declares that we favor any modification f the tariff schedules neces- sary to prevent their affording a shelter to monopoly. It ought to be true—whether it is or not I leave to your judgment—that ths democrats should have a monopoly at least of ‘the perversion and misconstruction of this phrase in the platform. In my opin- fon it declares a fundamental truth in political and Industrial economy. It does not contain the suggestion even that t tariff is in_any wise responaible for t existence or the evil of those large cor- porations which are in this day commonly called “trusts.” The resolutions speeifically endorse the platforms of 1901 and 1902 and the can- didacy of Cummins for goverdor and Charles A, Bishop for district judge. Securing Facts on Land Values. The state executive council of the state of Iowa has directed its secretary to send out to all county auditors in the state a request for some definits Informetion on which to base action relating to the as- sessment of real estate when this comes before the council as a board of review in July. The information sought is the state- ment of the sales of real estate for the last halt of 1902, glving each tract sold separately and the e<act amount paid, as shown of record, excluding nominal sales and trades, and giving also at the same time the equalized assessed valuation placed on the same tracts of land by the assessors and local review boards of January 1 last. The executive councll will thus have before It some definite knowl- edge of the actual conditions in the state #0 ad to determine to what extent Lhe as- sessors and local reviewing boards have sought to comply with the law, which makes it obligatory to have the assessment made on an actual cash basls with one- fourth of the same for taxing purposet The council has already nged to se- cure the names of every ssor in the state and the president of every reviewing board, so that when the Information is se- cured, if more is desired or any special information is desired, communication can be had at once. "It Is the Intentlou of the ate board to give the assessment matter | the most thorough consideration ever given | the subject. The tendency for several yea: ‘has been to allow the assessments to drop down and to become uneven. The state board has declared that it will insist upon a legal assessment at this time. Settle with Printers, The state executive council has effccted a settlement with the state printer for the biennial period ended January 1 last, This | 18 the first time in the history of the state that any actual settlement has ever been made with the state printers or binders It was made on the basis of a cash settle- | ment for the amount of supplies drawn by the printer and not accounted for In | his invoice nor used by ths state. Here- tofore it has been customary to allow the printer to draw the supplies and make no actual accounting, but under a new law everything must be accounted for.
