William I . Rigge, S. J., astronomer
at Creighu.n university.
"The arth is approximately g

ture. The tax collected on state offl- ,
cers could not be turned into the
state general fund."
The governor did not discuss the
right of the legislature to impose a
state income tax. Some have ques
tioned this right.
Chancellor Sees Govtrnor
Gopernor McKelvie has not chang
ed his mind one particle about sub
mitting a gasoline tax to a special
session of the legislature, but he Is
seriousy considering an income tax
upon all public officers instead of a
5 per cent reduction of salaries of
state officials and employes. He still
proposes to ask the legislature to re
duce appropriations werever possi
ble, including lump sum appropria
tions for salaries of state employes.
Kis first proposal was to reduce
salaries - of state officials and em
ployes 5 per cent on all salaries they
receive excepting $1,000 a year from
each salary.
This 1 per cent cut in salaries,"
said Governor McKelvie, "could not
reach all officials on account of the
constitutional provisions exempting
certain salaries from change during
a term of office. I have been study
ing the proprosition of asking the
legislature to pass an income tax ap
plying to all jmblic officers. This
would include all state officers,
county officers and probably city of
ficers and perhaps all public em
ployes. It ought to apply to all pub
lic officers who are now subject to a
federal income tar. It might be a tax
identical with the federal income
tax.
Chancellor Avery, accompanied by
L. E. Gunderson, bursar of the uni
versity, calltd on Gofernor McKelvie
Tuesday forenoon. The governor said
the visitors called to ask for specif
ic information in. .regard t the pro
posed reduction of salaries and ex
penses to ba enacted . upon by the
special session.
Governor McKelvie has asked each
expending agency of the state to sub
mit a budget showing where expen
ditures can be curtailed during the
year, Chancellor Avery called to 00-
tain definite information which he
can place before the regents who will
meet in Lincoln within a few days
to take action on the subject matter.
"The regents are contemplating a
reduction," said Governor McKelvie.
"I have asked each department to
make a frank statement of what they
believe can be done this year In the
matter of reduction of expenditures
without Impairing efficiency and I
have no doubt the legislature will be
equally frank in dealing with the
expending agencies."
The governor ha9 done nothing
toward investigating the need of an
appointive commission to revise the
tax laws and report to the next leg
islature. In regard to the saving of appro
priations the governor sail he be
lieved from what he had heard from
legislators that there is a disposition
to repeal the appropriation which
gives $250,000 of state funds for a
memorial gymnasium on condition
that $350,000 Is raised by subscrip
tion, aso the appropriation of $75,
000 for a paving on the Fort Crook
road on condition that Sarpy county
and the federal government give
$125,000 for that purpose. The gov
ernor said only a nominal sum had
been raised by subscription for the
university gymnasium. No one has
taken steps to meet the Fort Crook

TOWN OF MUR
DOCH SUFFERS A
HEAVYflRE LOSS
Wm. Germs Garage Destroyed By
Fire With Loss of $40,000
Repair. Shop Also Burns.
From Wednesday's Pally
Yesterday morning the town of
Murdock v is visited by a . most de
structive fire that caused a loss of
$40,000 in the burning of the build-i-gof
William Gehrts which was
occupied by Mr. Gehrts with "his Im
plement sure and Jesse Landholm
auto repair shop.
The fire occurred shortly after 8
o'clock anl was caused when the
fire in a stove in the Landholm re
pair shop was started. There had
been some oil placed on the fuel in
the stove and when .it was lit the
stove exploded, scattering the burn
ing oil and fuel over the building
and in a few minutes the structure
wes wrapped in flames.
The stock of Mr. Gehrts was quite
'arge and there were also a large
number of automobiles in the build
ing at the time and it was only by
the most energetic work that there
was anything saved from the burn
ing structure. A Buick cas belong
ing to Charles Schafer was saved
from the huildine and Mr. Gehrts
was able .to-ecure one tractor and;j
two manure spreaaers irom lae siock
and remove hem to a place of sa
There is no fire protection in the
way of a water system in Murdock
and altho the citizens worked des
peratey to save the building, which
was one of the largest in the town
it was withoot sdecess and in a very
short time the structure was reduc
ed to ruins.
the fire would spread to the building;
occupied as the postoffice and the
contents of that building were re
moved but . through the excellent
work of the residents of the town it
wds possible to save this building.
A small frame house located be
tween the garage and the bank
hiiilding were destroyed by the fire
but the flames checked before they
reached the bank buildine. The resi
dence was occupied by E. K. Nor
ton, the butcher.
As far as could be learned there
was only partial insurance on thtf
building and the contents and the
loss will be a very heavy one to both
Mr. Gehrts and Mr. Landholm. Seven
autos that were stored in the build
ing were completely destroyed and
all that marks the site of one of the
lf-ading bdsiness establishments of
Mrrdock is a mass of rhns.
