REPORTING THEIR THE LABOR BOARD! CAMPAIGN COSTS Chairman Reasserts Recent Decisions on Wages for Best Interests of Public and Workers. Chicago. Nov. 1. Replying to pub lished criticisms of the United States railroad labor board's recent decision in the maintenance of way case. Hen V. Hooper, chairman of the board, tonight issued a statement reassert ing that the board has served the best interests of both labor and the public. The decision in the maintenance of way case- was issued late Satur day. It raised the minimum rates of pay from 2:1 to cents to 2T, to 37 c-.-nts an hour. Employes sought a 4s cent an hour minimum. After as sert intr that h" ."poke only as an in dividual. Mr. Hooper's statment sail in part: "A wage board which would crush the railroads would ruin their em ployes. '"A wage board which would cre ate an enormous deficit in every rail way treasury, would necessitate the imposition of higher freight rates on the farmers, producers ami shippers of this country. Would Kean Big Deficit "'The 'living vape' idea presented to the labor board, called for a 72 to ( nts per hour minimum for com mon labor all over the United States, and the maintenance: of proper dif ferentials tor .--killed labor. On the ba-is of the railway income for lf21, this would have cr'-af-d a railway defi' it of .?2.2 !1. 030. SIS. "A 'living wage' is not the thing for whi'-h t he theorists contend. They want the 'living wage.' which, ac cording to their dogmatic formula, means, at their lowest estimate, about S1.C.-.0 per year for a section man. Th budget upon which this wage was predicated was declared by two of the expert representatives of the employes to b-- a 'guess and a makeshift,' and yet the board was criticized for not adopting it. A waste scale built on that basis for all industries, would exceed the total in come of the United States by multi plied billions of dollars. Fiat Wage Impractical "A fiat wage is as impractical as a fiat dollar. Both have been tried out in Russia, where the laborer may get millions of rubles for an hour's work but what will his fiat wa?e and his fiat ruble buy him? The swelling tide of prosperity in our country cannot be hastened by methods of this kind." Mr. Hooper also strongly assailed the attitude of Edsel Ford, the auto mobile manufacturer: Samuel Gom pers, president of the American Fed eration of Labor, and William Ran dolph Hearst, all of whom had criti cized the position of the labor board in regard to the living wage.

Washington, Nov. 1. While less than one half of the candidates for the senate have tiled campaign ex pense statements, according to the count made today by clerks, candi dates for the house are still sending their reports at the rate of almost 2 . 0 a day. In the midst of the con tusion as to provisions of the law the oni fact that stands out clearly is that house candidates must lile, now and after the election. The view was expressed by some senate officials that many candidates for that branch might accept the in t rpretation of the supreme court de cision in the Newberry case by At torney General Daugherty that they w. re not re quired to file. In a letter la-t year to Representative Lute, re publican. Massachusetts, the attor ney general, answering a specific in quiry as to the effect of the New berry decision, said: "As United States senators are not now elected by legislatures of the states: as contemplated in the act, it is my opinion that this fact in con nection with the holding in the New berry decision makes it unnecessary for a candidate for United States sen ator to file any statement whatever in connection with his nomination or election." Mr. Daugherty contended that the only provisiou of the election law now in force and effect Is the one which requires such statements to be filed in connection with the election of candidates for the house. Most of the reports on file with the senate have not been brought up to date, many relating to primary expenses. Senator France, republi can, Maryland, reported that in his primary light his expenditures were ?3i.795. with contributions of $31,--)0. Royal W. France. Ii is brother, headed the list of contributors with ir..ooo. Senator Townsend, republican Michigan, reported that his election expenses were $700. After the pri mary Senator Townsend filed a re port showing the expenditure of $30,720 for his nomination fight by "the Townsend-for-Senator club." Senator Ashurst. democrat. Ari zona, received a contribution of $100 from the Brotherhood of Railway Firemen. He spent $17. Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, spent $3,870, all of which went to republican clubs in his state, while William A. Gaston, his democratic opponent, spent $1,216 In the pri mary and $4,113 in the general elec tion fight. Some of the other reports show: Lynn J. Frazier. North Dakota, (primary) $349: Senator King Utah on September 19, contributions, $1, 67ft: expenditures same; Senator Hitchcock, Nebraska. $5,412; Carl Riddick. republican. Montana. $510; Earle R. Mayfield, Texes. $15.50. Senator La Follette. Wisconsin, got $6,418. and spent $5,974. while Sen ator Kendrick reported the expendi ture of $1,418 in Worn In g. A final accounting by candidates after the election will give the total amount of their expenditures, all statements now on file not having been brought up to date. Mrs. Marks Says It Proved a Blessing "Tanlac helped me out of a sick bed and built nie up to better health than I have enjoyed in years," de clared Mrs. M. Marx, 2212 Henton street, St. I.ouis. Mo. "My stomach troubled me so much for two or three years I finally col lapsed in a nervous breakdown, (las would form iu my stomach and bring on awful spells of heart palpitation, shortness of breath, headaches and dizzy spells. My back pained me too, and I was so nervous and miser able I could not sleep. "What four bottles of Tanlac did for me was a most pleasant surprise, for today I haven't a single trace of my old troubles. I will bless tli- day I got this wonderful medicine." Tanlac is sold by all good druggists.

BE CONSISTENT If the World-Herald could lock up its old files and keep them away from the public eye during every campaign it would have a much eas ier time. It will be recalled by people who watched such matters that Representative Snow was call ed the administration candidate for speaker two years ago. and that when Walter Anderson won the prize it was proclaimed by the World-Herald as a "McKelvie defeat." Now one of the charges brought against Anderson by this same news paper is that he was "McKelvie's speaker." This may not be really important, but some of the politicians will find it interesting, especially those who think that there is room for consist ency, even in modern politics.

They opened the copper box that has reposed for theirty eight years in the corner stone! of the prevent capitol. preparatory to reseating the box and placing it in It he corner stone of the new capitol, j which is to tie laid November 11. While the box is only thirty-eight years old, anything that has lain un disturbed in progressive Nebraska lor that length of time without being turned inside out and upside down ami looked into and bettered, is con sidered cjuite ancient. Among the papers removed from the box was a copy of the constitu tion of the Cnited States, whose last amendment, the fifteenth, prohibits the denial of the right oi franchise on account of race or previous con dition of servitude. In the short space since the constitution was de posited in the box the people of the country li ve added amendments authorizing the income tax. the elec tion of senators by direct vote of the people. prohibition of the sale and manufacture of intoxicating liquors and the right of suffrage for women. Bobbed hair has also come into style since then, also the general use of the telephone, to say nothing of the recent development of radio, the X ray, moving pictures, etc. Automo biles and airplanes are two other in ventions unknown at that time, but the people then, as now. were com plaining of taxes, talking about the tariff and the weather. ; George K. Johnson and W. K. Hardy, members of t he capitol com mission were present when the box was opened. Governor McKelvie was represented by his secretary. Louis' W. Home. Several state officers and' employes and citizens were interest ed spectators. State Treasurer Han 15. Cropsey was there, but denied the report that he was present when the corner stone was laid. July 15. 1SS4.' Will Owen Jones of the State Jour nal proved to be the only person pres ent who saw the stone laid thirty eight years ago. I Ernest H. Fairfield, secretary of i the state board of control, who was j present, did not see the box placed in i tlie old corner stone, but he lived across the street from the original j capitol from 1S7C to 1SS1. and when! a small boy used to go with other youths into the dome of the first cap itol and have a lot of fun in getting the dome to rock on its uncertain underpinning. He also saw the east wing of the present, or second tap-: itol take form. ' J. W. Isherwood. state house en gineer, was delegated to open the box. He tried a blow furnace an 1 a soldering iron, but this proved to slow for the waiting assemblage, so i he resorted to his pocket knife. He i cut part way down two sides and one end of the box. and the copper, lid was bent outward. Mr. H.-rdy took out a portion of the content-.. Whin he came to a list of the con tents he read it in full and the o.hcr articles were not taken out. ! A photogrrph was taken showing the commissioners and stale officers gathered around the box. , What is listed as a copper plate, with names of state officers and em-: ployes inscribed thereon proved to tie a stereotype plate in soft metal, made from printer's type, evidently made in a paper office. It contained tlie name of each sti te officer and one deputy or chief clerk for each. i The copper box is 4x4x12 inches.' The old newspapers and other paper documents gave forth a musty odor; when they were exposed to the air, i but allthe articles were in a perfect1 state of preservation. A little enved-' ope contained three coins, a copper cent, a silver three cent piece and a nickel five cent piece. each dated 1SS4. The list of tlie contents was in the handwriting of K. P.

TAKE ROOSEVELT TREE FROM CAPI TOL GROUNDS Planted by Boy Scouts Week Ago on Alabama State House Lawn, Vanishes During Night. Montgomery, Ala.. Nov. The Roosevelt memorial tree, which lias been the subject of a controversy since- planted on the Alabama capi tol lawn by Montgomery Boy Scouts last Friday, mysteriously disappear ed last night. A note discovered where the tree had stood, by the capitol niiit watchman, read: "Montgomery. Ala. Get this Ala bama ! "To all concerned: "Tlie- Daughters of the Con federacy are our mothers (w;ir mothers) and this is the south. There are no trees in honor of southern ge-ntlemcn in the cap itol yard at Washington and our war mothers do not want this one here." The controversy n-sultir.g from tlie objection of the Daughters of the Confederacy to the tret- remain ing in tlie capitol lawn was brought to n climax yc-st-.-rday by tlie White House association president naming a committee to co-operate with other Confederate organizations' commit tees in their efforts to have the mem orial removed. The association is a band of wom en organized for the purpose of pre serving the original White House of the Confederacy. where Jefferson Davis resided when the capitol was located in Montgomery. The various organizations contended it was im proper for the memorial to Koosevel' to stand on the capitol grounds with in earshot of the place where Davis became president of the Confederacy. Your Trip to California will be surprisingly more enjoyable and far more satis factory if your hotel or bungalow accommodations are arranged for well in advance and proper consid eration is given to the selection of ycur route to take you there. Natur ally, you want to see the most of the best scenery in America en route. The logical route is the Burlington (in connection with the Denver & Rio Grande Western and Western Pacific) because it takes you right through Denver, the Pike's Peak region. Royal Gorgei scenic Colo rado, Salt Lake City and the Grand Canyon of the Feather River in the beautiful Sierra Nevada range. Then if you return by way of the great Pacific Northwest (Yellowstone or Glacier Park line), Minneapolis-St. Paul and the Burlington's Mississippi River Scenic Line, you put a ring around the Golden West the most wonderful trip in America. Rail rates are the same via all Western lines. Therefore, you have something to gain and nothing to lose by inves tigating before completing your plans. Let me tell you more about the Burlington's more-travel-comfort-at-the-same-cost service. R. W. CLEMENT, TICKET AGENT GRAIN FUTURES LAW iS EN EFFECT TODAY ( POLITICAL ADVERTISING) WHAT.

If elected Representative. I shall favor Economy, Simplicity and Kfli ciency in the administration of state affairs: the re-dud ion of taxes by the reduction of the cost of government. I shall favor legislation that will enable the farmers to so control the marketing of their products that the best prices and profits thereof will be paid to them and not into the pockets of speculators. 1 shall favor legislation of vital in terest and benefit to live sto k breed ers and live stock associations of the state. I favor laws more liberal toward, the interests of tlie laboring classes of the state and a greater represen tation of labor in the affairs of gov ernment. I shall favor legislation for the up lifting and l-ttermeiit of society and the home. My record in tlie legisla ture will bear out this statement. I shall oppose unnecessary appro priations, administrative duplica tions and th" waste of our tax money in useless clerks and employes. I shall oppose exorbitant salaries and will favor ttie cutting of every kind of expense that will note ripple the efficiency of our state givernment. I believe the cost of the new capitol should be kept within tlie apropria tion. I want to see men elected who will represent the people, rather than some political party, men who will use their time ami energy in con structive legislation, rattier than tearing down the opposite party. What we need at the present time is economy and eflicie ncy.
