SHALLENBERGER IN FAVOR OF SUCH ACTION. 8 HD TO BET RESULTS Changes Necessary to Expedite Pro- cecdlngo Other Matters at the State Capital. "I am thinking strongly , " said Gov ernor Slmllonberger , "of incorporat ing Into my message to the legislature a suggestion for an amendment to thu Sackott law. AH It now stands my ex perience Is that It Is practically Im possible to get good results from act- tlons under it. l-'or instance , last July 1 caused ouster proceedinga to be started against Chief Donahue of Omaha. With the slow methods of court procedure It will be Im possible to get any results from that milt until long after 1 am out of ofllce. I am persuaded that If a governor , soon after coming into oliice , should begin ouster proceed ings against some otllclul under tlio Sackett law , ho would be unable oven with the best of proof , to secure re sults until near the close of Illsterm , , and , possibly , not until the onicial's term of olllce were out. "I am thinking of recommending In my message that the Sackett law bo amended so that a governor after a [ nibllc hearing on any charge- pre ferred against an official of the state for dereliction of duty , might oust lilin without any process of court , the individual affected having the right to appeal against th& governor's action , but to do so from the outside. This Is a lot of power to give a gov ernor , but in my opinion it is the way to make the Sackett law effective. "We talked the matter over at the convention of governors and it was generally agreed that a governor would bo so hedged about by pro ceedings taking place in public , with Ills record and good name at stake , that ho would be mighty sure of his ground before ho would exercise such n power invested In him. " Water Sites In "Cold Storage. " State Engineer E. C. Simmons , who Is also secretary of the state board of Irrigation , states in his report to the governor that methods have been used In this state to monopolize water power sites and to put them "into cold storage. " These methods are strangely like those charged against the so-called "water power trust , " and indicate the existence of condi tions In this state that have generally been ascribed to the far western and far soastern states. Mr. Simmons re ports the following : "Attempts to put power plants into cold storage by means of overlapping filings , and the use of other dilatory tactics , and applications to segregate large areas on the pretense of waterIng - Ing the land from some dry gulch have been mado. A filing fee of from $10 to $100 , according to the magni tude of the application , should bo llxed and a guaranty required to In sure good faith of the applicant. The state should receive a reasonable rental on all power sites. " . Arsenal for the Guard. The coming legislature will bo asked to provide for a warehouse or arsenal for the national guard in Lin coln. At least the quartermaster's of llce should bo housed there , If the building should bo built , and possibly the entire adjutant general's office would bo moved. Members of the present board of public lands and buildings and the governor are in fa vor. Mall Clerks "Up In Arms. " From one-fourth to one-half of the railway mail clerks of the country threaten to throw up their jobs and quit the service if present plans to lengthen the working hours of the men are carried out after the holi days as has been proposed at Wash ington. If the men make good their throats , the result , it Is said , would bo to embarrass the service worse than a strike. Until trained substi tutes could bo found for the dlssatis- lied men the effect would be to delay malls and generally hamper service. * Mullen Has Returned. Attorney General Arthur .Mullen re turned Irom Washington , whither ho wont in company with L. L. Albert and C. O. Whcdon arguing In behalf of the state the bank guaranty case where the state appealed from the llnmngs of unconstltutlonallty of the federal circuit court. Mr. Mullen says that while ho would not presume to predicate what the court will do , ho feels very hopeful of a reversal of the lower court's decision In the matter. The court listened to the argument with much attention. Requisition Issued. Governor Shallcnberger has Issued a requisition for the person of Roy Gardner , alias William Gardner , of Lincoln , charged with grand larceny , and now under arrest In Georgia. It Is charged that Gardner on or about December 21 , 1909 , stole from a smokehouse In University Place two dressed hogs and a dressed beef , all worth about $100. After tlila Incident Gardner enlisted in the regular army and has boon for the last ninety days conluunl in the federal prison at Fort Oslothorro for desertion , DEPOSITS FALL OFF. Secretary Royce Reports on Bank Conditions. The abstract of the condition of Ne braska state bank * on November 10 , when the last call was issued , shows , acordlng to the statement given out by Secretary S , S. Royso of the bank ing board , that deposits have mater ially fallen off as compared with one year ago and loans have advanced almost as much. This conditions Mr. Iloyso does not consider alarming , as ho points out that crops have not been moving , farmers waiting for bet tor prices , and this circumstance would alone , In his estimation , ac count for the decreased deposits and the Increased loans. The compilation of the reports indi cates that In GCO state banks there tire unO.OfiT depositors , and' that the average reserve Is 21 per cent. This lust Is an Important Item. The state banking law requires that the cash reserve bo maintained at 1G per cent Ht least. Of the total cash reserve In the banks , more than three-fourths of it is in the hands of eastern cor respondents so that the actual cash on hand in the state bank valuts Is only a little more than 0 per cent. Tills is not an unusual condition. Secretary Hoyse's summary of his analysis of the conditions In the banks of the state is as follows : "This icport compared with the one of a year ago shows that loans have increased $1,98-1,216.26 and de posits have decreased $1,5 : ' > 2,011.91 , and compared with the report of Aug- ijst 25 , 1910 , loans have increased SJ2.115.483.7G and deposits have de creased ? 3,487,401.7G. While the in crease of loans and decllno in de posits are a little more pronounced than usual at this season of the year , on the whole , under existing condi tions , the report is all that could bo expected. "It is a known fact that very little of tills year's crop has been placed on the market and advices from the banks indicate that no inconsiderable portion of the 1909 crop still remains unsold. I am of the opinion that this fully 'explains the increase of loans and decrease of deposits shown. "Another factor that has materially Increased the loans and which also has an effect upon the deposits is an unusual amount of stock feeding that Is being done in this stato. All those Influences operating easily explains the heavy demand apparent. " Best Acre of Corn. The first prize of $50 offered by the state board of agriculture for the best acre of corn raised by a boy un der 18 years of age has been awarded to Guy Hickey of Gretna , who sue * ceeded in raising ninety-five bushels and fifteen pounds.

Or THE BEST MEDICINE for COUGHS G COL.DS FIGHTING THE WHITE PLAGUE Number of State Institutions Is Double During the Past Two Years. Sixteen state sanatoria , 28 county hospitals and 21 municipal hospitals for tuberculosis have been erected and provided for since January 1 , 1909 , says a recent bulletin of the Na tional Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis. Within the last two years the num ber of state institutions for tubercu losis has doubled , and the number of county and municipal institutions has increased from about 30 to 80. The expenditures of public money for the treatment of tuberculosis also has more than doubled. Not less than $3,000,000 of state money was appro prlated for tuberculosis Institutions in 1909 , when 43 legislatures met , and , over $600,000 in 1910 , when only 11 .legislatures were In session. The ap propriations of counties and cities for tuberculosis hospitals and sanatoria In the last two years will aggregate 'fully $2,500,000 , bringing tfio total .of . official appropriations for tuaercu- 'losls ' hospitals up to over $6,000,000 in the past two years. In spite , however , of this good show ing , the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis states that not one-tenth of the pub lic provision for tuberculosis that is needed has been made. More than 250,000 tuberculosis patients are con stantly without proper institutional treatment. The Modern Way.
