Adjutant Oenersl J. II. Culver, who w.is
In the rlty yeetirdav, Is authority f-jr i
the statement that fimnha will hiive a I
commodious armory to arrominndato thn
Thuraton Rifles, ho ure without a perma-
Itent home. He ald: !
i mixni lneerepi eeie- imuijip or 'rinniia
to know that ot.e of your trmpanir", till
Thuraton KlnVs, la nnw without a homo.
This has stimulated un to work up iui In
terest In serurlna the catabllshment of .1
aparloua armory here for all the Oniuha
companies and thus free them from the
dependence and expense of frequnt rhanir
liia of their quarter. It la n matter th.it
I have had under contemplation for some
time and Wednesday night atcpa were
taken that will, I thlnlc. reault In the
building of an armory in Omaha.
"Colonel Thomaa, a member of the gov
ernor's staff, and assistant ci.sliler of tha
t'nlon National bank of Omaha, la chair
man of the committee. The other mem
ber of the committee ara Captains Sues,
Falconer and Haehr. The preposition haa
met with the moat hearty lenponso by
many of your leading rltlzonH. and I fool
assured In aaylnit that an armory will

Denies the Unry.
Adjutant General Culver. Major Mo
I,aiighlln of Beatrice and Captain Khcrly
of Stanton, Neb., are In the rlty aa mem
bers of a board of survey appointed to ex
amine Into the condition of the property
of the National Guard of Nebraska, In the
possession of the several National Guards
companies of Omaha.
"I was rather surprised," said General
Culver, "at the articles appearing In Omaha
papers relative to the controversy over the
brlgadlerahlp of the Nebraska National
Guards. The Intimation that the presence
of Captain Eberly and Major McLaughlin
In Omaha haa anything to do with the eler.
tlon of a brigadier general la absurd In the
extreme, pa la the statement that Governor
Mickey la particularly Interesting himself
In tha matter In the selection of any pre
ferred candidate for that office. The selec
tion of Major Mclaughlin as a member of
tha board of survey was mado wholly upon
his peculiar qualifications for the position
from the fact that he was formerly quar
termaster of the First Nebraska volunteers
and as such waa familiar with the require
ments for Inspecting military supplies.
Captain Kborly, an attorney, was formerly
In the cavalry service during the Spanish
American war and has frequently per
formed the duties of a member of a board
of survey and during the last two months
of his service had much to do with board
of survey duties. Hence both men were
especially qualified for the work assigned
them.
New More In Guard Affalra.
"The creation of boards of aurvey la a
new departure In National Ouard affairs.
But little effort has been rr.ade heretofore
to ascertain the location and condition of
the quartermaster supplies belonging to
tha state, and the accounts of the ad
jutant general's department, as' kept for
several years, gave very little Information
about them. It has "become my determina
tion to clean these matters up.
"Wednesday evening the officers of the
several companies were railed together
hera and the question was asked of them
by myself. If Major McLaughlin or Cap
tain Eberly had bt-eti soliciting; votes for
any candidate as charged. The answer
waa no, but that the officers had been
here strictly In the line of their duties, In
specting tha company supplies and nothing
else."
Adjutant General Culver charges that
General Barry Is responsible for the circu
lar letter which has been sent out, and
from which theae reports were made.
. "I think the scheme Is one Barry has
started to retain his Incumbency In offlce,"
he said.

CUT IN GENERAL FREIGHTAGE
Northwestern E-lajhes Grain Rates A;ain
and AI Tariffs May Feel It.
DIFFERENTIAL NOW OF THREE CENTS
Railroad Men Reaard Till Action as
First Move Toward Contemplated
tphcatal In All Classes of
Commodity Rates.
After a hit! of two days news from the
front Indicates hostilities are renewed.
Another cut of 2 cents per TO in through
grain rates from Nebraska xlnt to Chi
cago was announced by the Northwestern
yesterday. It was not made In the usual
way, but waa announced aa a reduction In
the differential of 6 cents which hiu here
tofore applied between the Mlselssli.pl river
and Chicago. Under the new tariff the dif
ferential will be 3 cents. Thla action sim
ply amounts to a cut of 2 cents In the
through rate
In cose the fight I continued by the
road which have been favorable to Omaiia
It will now he necessary for them to make
rates of 6 cents on wheat and 5 cents on
corn from Omaha to Chicago.
A telegram fiom headquarters In Chicago
waa received at the local offices of one of
the roads running from Omaha to that
point quoting a rate of 104 cents on l.nsced
oil from Missouri river points to Chicago.
The best rate In effect prior to this time
on this commodity was 7 cents. Whilo
nothing definite Is known In this city be
yond the fact that tills big cut has been
made, it i the genetal upposltlon that It
l the first move In extending thu grain
rate war to other commodities. Linseed oil
being a grain product, It is only natural
that It should be one of the first things
considered In tariff reductions arising from
the grain rate situation.
"It Is only natural thla fluht should ex
tend to other commodities than 'grain,"
said a 1c cal official, "und I believe wo will
find when the truth comes out that this
cut In the linseed oil rate Is entirely duo
to the grain rate fight now In progre s.
It Is my opinion that within the next few
days we phall receive notices of cuts In
the rates applying to other commodities.
As near as I can ascertain there Is no
prospect of a let up In the fight, and, as
the grain rates have been cut to the bot
tom, some other kind of ammunition will
now be considered und, If It la found neces
sary, used.''
WRIGHT STATES HIS VIEWS
City Attorney Kxplains Position on
Matter of Municipal Finances,
Particularly the Tax l.evj.
OMAHA. Feb. 17. To the Kditor of The
Bee, Omaha, Neb.: Dear Sir In vour
editorial of this evening, In refe once to
tho H-mlll levy, you state that the levy
will yh'ld ll.4D0.0W) of taxes when the actual
expenses of the city government are and
should bo limited to 11,000,000.
In your editorial of February 9 you also
state that "the fair average of the amount
necessary for carrying on the municipal
government of Omaha Is $1,000,000 a year."
A careful examination of tho figures you
present In your editorial Dhows that In the
editorial of February 9 you have made a
mistake of your footings of lloo.OOfl. "our
rtatement In The Evening Bee of February
I shows that the actual expenses of Tun
ing the city for 1903 were 11.129,316. In
your computations you have made an error
of 1100.000. The several Items mentioned as
the expenses of 1908 amount to LOasiS. .To
be added to thla should be $!M,:ri9'for waiter
hydrant rental, which would make $1,123,
616 Instead of $l,223,61ti, aa you have It In The
Bee of February 9. It Is but' fair, too, that
you call attention to the fact that these
Items of expense do not Include the ex
penses of the school board, which Is ope
rated Independent of the city.
In your editorial of today you make no
deduction from the amount of the levy
of the amount raised for the school board,
which Is approximately $n55.000. The Im
pression given by your editorial of tonight
is that the H-mlll levy, producing $1,400,.
000, Is to tie used In runnlr g the expenses
I of the city, which ought not to be above
I $1,000,000. Tou must of course acknowledge
that the levy for the purpose of raising
the school fund Is beyond the control of
the city officials, nnd out of this $1,400,000
there will be available for the use of the
city of Omaha $1,045,000, If all of the same
was collected, and $100,000 of this amount
must be uaed for the purpose of paying
last year's water bills, leaving about $950,
Oon for the ensuing year's expenses. After
deduct Ing' the mills ordered by the
school board and the 1 mill to ray last
year's water bills. It makes a levy of about
9H mills for city purposes, out of which
must be puld the limning expenses of the
city for the year 1904 and an overlap of
$110,000 on salaries for the firemen, police
men and city officials. There are also
a number of ether bills for the last two
or three months of the year 1903 which
must be provided for nut of the 1904 funds,
amounting In all to something more than
$50,000. It will thua be seen, that taking
90 per cent of the levy, the city can tie.
pend upon receiving about $v.w.0u0. From
this, for expenses already Incurred, we
must deduct $140,000, leaving available for
the year 1904 about $715,000. On this there
Is a. fixed charge of over $'15.0Mi for In
tereat upon our bonded Indebtedness, so
that there will he left for the manage
ment of the city approximately $500,000. The
fire and police board, which controls the
number of firemen and policemen, nnd the
expenses of those departments, will he
entitled to draw $2,(VO of this money for
those items alone, at least It will be
necessary to use that much In the fire and
police protection if the presutit s'andard
of efficiency is maintained, because the
salaries of firemen and policemen have
been absolutely . fixed by the legislature.
There will thus be left about $JtO,0OO. out
of which to pay the general expenses of
tha city, the Judgments, the maintenance
of the library, tiie eewer, the park, the
lighting, the health, the cleaning and
sweeping, and the curbing, guttering and
paving of the city. If you can point out
In what fund the city council could rea
sonably have made any deduction from
the levy, I should be pleased to know
where, you would make the cut. The
park fund must be levied because the char
ter specifically requires $10,000 as the
minimum, which was approximately the
amount levied by the council. The Judg
ment levy of this year Is not sufficient to
pay the old Judgments of the city which
were outstanding when the present city
nfiWra were Installed. The cleaning and
sweeping fund and the curbing, gutterli.g
and paving might probably be scaled a
quarter to a half a mill, but If they were
so reduced It would be at the expense of
the efficiency of those departments.
You mention In your editorial the fact
that collections may be made from the en
forcement of the scavenger law. In my
view of the matter under the uncertainty
as to the validity of that law It would be
bad busiurss management for the city to
rely upon receipts from this source, be
cause if we do not receive the receipts an
ticipated, the city must py 7 p(.r P,nt upon
the deferr.d claims. But tven if the money
uggeted should he received from the en
forcment cf the scavmg,r law It cannot
reasonably t,e expected to be available
the year ISM. The commencement of
n
arleg ,jf ,he. u,t not he h.d ..n...
ouviw up a u . te.io
to be realltrd from sales it will be nearly
the beginning of 190'.
No one regrets more than the present rlty
officials what appeared to them to be the
Imperative necessity of making a high levy,
but because a high ley Is made does not
necessarily mei.n extravagance In the man
agement of the city affairs I said to the
Improvement club that I did not believe
the city council was In any minner cen
surable for the present levy. If they
should not expend it economically and care
fully, they should be censured for the ex
penditure of the money and not for making
provisions for the certain expenses of the
city.
I do not make this statement In any con
troversial uplrlt. but with the thought that
the public is entitled to know the reasons
which render so largo a levy necessary.
Respectfully, C. C. WRIGHT.

WRIGHT ON SHORT PAY FUNDS
City Attorney Urgei Economy t Com
pensate for tha IJeGeit.
BLAMES, LARGELY, REVISERS OF CHARTER
IHsrnaaea Flnnneea lth Board of
Fire and Police Commissioners,
Whose Oepnrtment la VI
tally Affected.
City Attorney Wright has addressed a
note to the Board of Fire ami Police Com
mlhsioncrs. railing attention to the fait
th'it the funds available for the tire and po
lice depurtnienta for the current year will
be entirely luadoiiuate to maintain the
forces on their present fooling after paying
the mlary deficits of 1:I. He urges en
forcetni'nl of the strhest economy and has
expressed the hope that the communication
will do some good In keeping down ex
penses. The attorney points out the fact that
$::n.0iC must come from tho fire fund to
satisfy salary diflclls of the lat year, and
he has figured out that there will be not to
exc eed $110,010 left to pay the estimated sal
aries of the present force for tho year, the
amount being $121,000. In addition It la cal
culated $.4,40 per annum will be reiulrei! to
maintain and operate the new houses. Vu
paid ch'lm-, for IW amounting to $7,000 and
H.Oot) Interest on warm 11 n have not been
taken Into consideration.
Deficit In Police Pay Fnnd.
The estimated puyroll of the police de
partment for 1904 Is flill.oio. Deducting
$20.0ti for 1;K1 ralary elelicit tr un the sum
which will be raised by taxation and only
$V'0 Is left to meet all expenses.
Mr. Wright shows part of the deficit is
clue to the lack 1 f equitable railway taxes
and a portion, he sas, can be charged to
the arbitrary increase In the salaries of
policemen and firemen by tho last legisla
ture without a corn spoiullng provision ena
bling the city to raise money to pay the
men. The fire fund was advanced $25,000.
but wages in thi.e department were pushed
up to an aggregate of $17,000 yearly.
Senator Charles L. Saunders, one of
Douglas county's politicians responsible for
this revise d chnrte r. declared the other dny
tho city li,ni mcely been "enabled" to In
crease salaries, but City Attorney Wright
contends the advance was obligatory.
