C. A. Randall, formerly fire commis
sioner under Governor Aldrlch, and
a man not particularly qualified for
the place, either by experience or ed
ucation along this line. It was a dis
tinct shock to Mr. Clark's republican
friends, who, whenever they get to
gether In little groups, discuss In
lowered tones this phase of what
they deem a primary catastrophe.
, Attorney General Willis Reed has
started suit In district court In Doug
I.ib county to prevent Hans Anderson
from taking over the estate amount
ing to $50,000 of the late James
Hates. The attorney general will at
tempt to have this estate escheat to
the state school fund. The deceased
was eighty-seven years old and was
mentally deficient. He had Inherit
ed a large fortune, but had no living
relatives. He lived on a big farm
near Uennington, on which was a
beautiful farm residence, but Rates
' preferred sleeping In a shed near the
I barn rather than In his house. When
' his condition became such that he
! mas unable to care for himself, the
court appointed Hans Anderson as
guardian, who took care of the old
man until he died. After his death
Anderson presented a will in which
he was the sole beneficiary. The at
torney general believes that Dates
was mentally Incapable of under
standing the Import of his actions
when he signed the will, and the
; court will be given a chance to decide
the question.
The last session of the legislature
passed among others a deficiency
claim to reimburse counties which
had overpaid on their old Insane fund
account. The amount appropriated
was $619.61 as shown in thu bien
nlal report. The sums range from
three cents up to several dollars for
which separate warrants will be
drawn. However, the auditor's office
has been holding these claims until
the supreme court could have an op
portunity to act on the question of
the right of counties to pay old In
sane fund claims to the state. This
question was raised by Stanton and
Gage counties, on a suit brought by
the attorney general, and Is still
pending In the supreme court. The
referee, appointed by the court, has
reported favorably to the state In the
matter of Stanton county, hut no re
port has been made up to this writ
ing on Gage county's contentions.
The supreme court has given these
counties until July 1 to Ate briefs,
and the cases will probably be heard
at the October term of court. Ac
cording to a recent checkup of the
books there was due the state from
the several counties at the beginning
of this bl en niuni the sum of $7 -892.
9f,. Since that time $23,491.14
has been collected by State Auditor
Smith, lenvlna a balance still due the
state of $55,491.81.

LOCAL PEOPLE USE
CORNELL-WOOD-IIOAKD
TO MODERNIZE HOMES
Loral builders and householders
have shown great Interest in Cornell-Wood-Board,
a material which 1b be
ing advertised from time to time in
this paper.
The board, which is an all-wood
product, Is made for use on walls,
ceilings and partitions and is partic
ularly recommended as a beautifler
of homes as well as for Its practical
advantages over the ordinary wall
materials. An endless variety of
panel effects is obtainable through
the use of the wood-board.
The fact that Cornell-Wood-Board
keeps the rooms warmer in winter
and cooler in summer carries a
strong appeal to prospective builders
and those who plan to improve ami
modernize old homes.
The cost of application is very rea
sonable since the board is made in
convenient sizes and can be nailed
right to the studding or over old
walls. The particular housewife likes
Cornell-Wood-Board because it can
be put on without any mussor dirt.
The Foster Lumber Company will
obtain free plans and cost estimates
for any room or rooms in a home.
This service places the inquirer un
der no obligation whatever. They

CRITICIZE THE PRACTICE
Railroad Employes Publicity Itunan
Bays Railroads Could Cat E
penses in Several Ways
Cleveland, Ohio, May 3 In a
statement Issued today by the Rail
road Transportation Brotherhood, at
tention was directed to the practice
of railroads In granting rebates to
shippers, hauling private cars, etc.
If the railroads are really sincere
lndesirlng to conserve their revenue,
a recent report of the Interstate
Commerce Commission, shows the
roads how they would save millions
of dollars which they lose through
practice of hauling private cars and
the granting of rebates.
This Is important In connection
with the highly exaggerated esti
mates which the railways are hand
ing out to the public as to the cost
to the carriers of the adoption of the
eight-hour work day In freight train
service.
It is comomnly supposed that the
practice of rebating has been brought
to an end, but the records of fines
imposed upon the railroads show that
this unlawful practice has not yet
been put a stop to. Not only do the
railroads lose revenue by granting
rebates but the fines which are Im
posed by the courts when rebate cas
es are detected are very considera
ble. It is reasonable to suppose that
only a small percentage of the actu
al rebating is discovered by the au
thorities. These cases of rebating and un
lawful concessions and discrimina
tions are not confined to any partic
ular section of the country or to any
special group of railroads. The prac
tices are quite general among differ
ent railroads and in different sec
tions. In 1915 the fines imposed
upon the carriers amounted to $234,-
000, the following railroads being
convicted by the courts: Central
Railroad of New Jersey, Chicago
Terre Haute & Southeastern, Grand
Trunk, Louisville & Nashville, Mich
igan Central, Missouri. Kansas &
Texas, and the Sierra Railway.
Commenting upon the unnecessary
expenses attending the infraction of
the laws directly connected with in
terstate commerce, the federal com
mission in its report in "the 5 per
cent case" rendered last year, states
that these expenses should be avoid
ed. This report says that the rail
roads In oQicial classification terri
tory alone have paid since December
1, 1909, in aggregate $814,135 In
forfeitures and lines, the larger part
of which represent penalties and for
rebating. One system alone has
paid penalties angregating $335,185.
If this one source of depletion of
railway revenues were dried up by a
cessation of the multifarious meth
ods through which favoritism is
shown certain shippers, it is suggest
ed to railway officials who are opp6s
in the granting of an eight-hour day
to their freight train employes, that
there will be more revenue in the
treasuries of the companies with
which to meet tho slicht increase in
cost.
Free transportation of private
cars is an abuse for which there is
lit 1 1 justification.
Tables prepared by the commis
sion show that the revenue from pri
vate cars handled free during the
year 1913 on only 88 roads would at
tariff rates have been $64 4,250.79.
It is natural that subordinates should
be wasteful when their superiors are
extravagant and that efforts to se
cure exonotnies should often prove
futile when at the expense of the
stockholders or public, the luxury of
a private car Is freely granted for
personal and private use, even to
subordinate officials and members of
their families. Records of one road
show that the wives of first, second
and third vice presidents, the wife
of a superintendent, the wife of a
superintendent of telegraph, the
mother of a chairman, the secretary
of the vice president of a telegraph
company, and the chief clerk to a
president were given the free use of
private cars; indeed, not a private
car merely, but two special trains
were furnished free to the widow of
a former director .tariff rate for
which service would have been $3,
466. The wife and daughter of the
president of that company enjoyed,
in a single year, free transportation
in private cars for nine trips on
which the tariff rates would have ag
gregated $3,577.
Some officials feel they must have
private cars even though the roa-'
lack necessary motive power aim
other equipment. Within the last
few days the Clover Leaf Railroad
which is in the bands of a receiver,
has been granted permission to pur
chase a private car for Walter L.
Ross, receiver for the Clover lar
Railroad, at a cost of $31,300.
'Saving at the spigot and wasting
at the bunghole" is a common say
ing, but it has its application in the
present efforts of railway executive
committees opposing the eight-hour
work day movement of freight train
employes as contrasted with the con
tinuance of these and other practices
which the Interstate Commerce Com
mission denounces.
More than enough money is wast
ed by ineffcient operation to make up
the comparatively small sum It might
cost the roads to better the working
condition of its employes. v
