TO PUSH MEASURES OF LOCAL IMPORTANCE tsterrsflssT ersaposlaiB ! Letter that h14 Draw Oat Farther Dlieili aa4 Help The coming legislative session at Lin coln It expected to take up a number of natters of special concern to the people of this community. In order to start a dis cussion that would bring out suggestions along the lines of Improvement through legislative action, The Be addressed a let ter to the members-elect of th Douglas delegation, asking what measures of local Importance to th peopl of Omaha, South Omaha and Douglas county. If any, each has In mind for presentation to the legis lature. The answers follow, and The Bee would earnestly Invite further discussion from Its readers In the form of brief and pertinent communications. What "oath Omaha 'Wants. South Omaha will probably need some charter legislation. One enactment we need will be a change In the charter gov erning the sewer proposition, our present charter making It Impossible for South Omaha to float server bonds for the neces sary additional sewer system. There will without doubt be other matters of minor Importance desired. I think the outlook for harmony In the legislature Is good and I believe it is safe to say that much good work for the twin cities will be accomplished. My highest aim will be to keep In touch with my con stituency and devote my entire energy to ward the Upbuilding of this common wealth. L. C. GIB90N. Tas Railway Terminals. I have not at present any measure to present to th legislature. I have been re-elected by th peopl of Douglas county. I desire to represent them and will give all my experience and ability to carry out their wishes. I believe Individuals or or ganised bodies that hav given municipal and county affairs thought should take an Interest. In these matters and make known their wishes. As a member of the Fonta nslle club, I stand on Its platform as adopted before our last primary nomina tions antf shall aaslat in carrying out such legislation. Th platform Is as follows! 1. Tho fair and uniform assessment of all taxable property, whether corporate or Individual. 2. The limitation of main line rights-of-way of all railway companies, so that ter minal facilities may be taxed for the bene fit of the aohool districts, municipalities and counties within which they are situ ated, the same as other property. 8. An unalterable opposition to the re pea? of the law creating the Omaha Water board or to the legislating out of office any public official during the term for which he may have been duly appointed or elected. 4. The extension of the powers of the water board to include all matters respect ing the acquisition of the present water plant, the reduction of water ratea and the payment of hydrant rental. I am also Is favor of a primary law founded on the Minnesota or Wisconsin laws, and will study that situation with a desire to assist In some legislation In that direction. I believe a discussion opened up through your paper will greatly simplify matters. . , ; CHARLES I SAUNDERS. Direct Primary System. I hav no special measure at this time, but Ilk the other members of the dele gation am ready to Consider, any and all matters that the people of Douglas county may wish to bring to eur attention. In theory th legislator may be om niscient on every conceivable subject for legislation, but in fact there will probably be many requests for remedial legislation on matters which will necessitate con siderable study on the part of each mem ber of th delegation In order to qualify him for an Intelligent vote, without con s: muting bills. Consequently th most that ws can do. Is to ask th different business and property Interest, such as member of the bar and others to bring to our attention and present for our con sideration remedies that they dtstre to have th coming legislature enact Into law. Personally I shall be Interested In pro curing a direct primary law for Douglas county, modeled along the lines of the Minnesota law. the chief features being to establish by law the present direct pri mary system adop-.ed by th republican county committer, wl:h the added features of having both democratic and repub lican primaries on tho same day and com bine a prlrr,u.-y election and registration of voters. This will do away with the pres ent expense of regie's In j voters and will compel a man to vote at the primaries If ho wishes to become registered and be entitled to a vote on election day. A direct primary law for the entire state would be desirable, but It might not be acceptabls to the people of the state, consequently It may bo well to limit the law to Douglas county. Another matter that I ' Fee by the pa pors has been taken up by the Real Es tate exchange Is the taxing of mortgages held by residents of Nebraska. As this tax reduces the net return below what investors might reoeive from other se cureties that are not open . to the tax commissioner's eagle eye. It puts a pre We Paid $100,000 For FJquozone, Yet We Give You a 50c Bottle Free. We paid $100,000 for the American rights to Uquosoue; tue highest price ever paid for similar rights ou any sclontlfle discovery. We did this after testing the product for two years, through physicians end hospitals, in this country and others. We cured all kinds of germ diseases with It thou sands of the 'moat difficult cases ob tainable. We proved that in germ troubles It always accomplished what medicine cannot do. Now we ask you to try it try It at our expense. Test H aa we did; ace what it doe. Then you will use it always, at we do, and aa millions of others do. . Tou will use It, not only to get well, but to keep well. And It will gave nearly all of your sickness. Kills Inside Germs. Llquoaone ia not made by compound Ink drugs, nor la there alcohol In It It virtue are derived solely from gaa largely oxygen gas by a process re quiring Immense apiwratua and 14 day a' time. . Tbla process baa, for more than SO years, been the constant sub ject of scientific and chemical research. The result la a liquid that does what oxygen dooa. It 1 a nerve food and blood food the most belpful thing in the world to you. Its effects are ex hilarating, vitalising, purifying. Yet It is a germicide so certain that we publish on every bottle an offer of mium on foreign Investments and dis courages the leaning of money here at home. It would be Impossible to compel the mortgagor to pay this tax Q addition to the tax on tho real estate, but such must be the result If we expect to borrow money for home builders from local In vestors. It leaves the foreign corpora tions free to loan money In Nebraska at lower rates than resident Investors. Would It not be better to reserve this condition and protect the home Investor rather than the forelen Mranrtinn vniall since , . . -I - I the bom Investor la apt to loan a higher I proportion on th valu of th property with which he Is familiar and where he can watch th security. It Is a well known fact that th bor rower can obtain better loans from local investors than froa a foreign corporation that limits Its loon to 80 per cent upon the valu of the property. To encourage the local Investor to Invest In Omaha mort gages la to contribute to ths prosperity of Omaha and ws should put a premium .upon such forms of Investment rather than a tax. To tax any mortgage I th grossest form of double taxstlon, for th property Is taxed at it full valu by th city, county and state and If mortgaged for half iu value that mortgage Is again taxed and the property Is therefore doubly taxed on half Its value. The present revenue law should be emended by cancelling the taxes on mort gages or the tax so adjusted that the owner of the land Is not compelled to pay the taxes on the land and on the mortgage. We should do everything in our power to encourage the investment of local savings In local mortgages and thus try to Improve the conditions of Omaha by making It the city of home owners and not renters. We should not drive a small borrower to a building and losn association whara he has to pay nearly 8 per cent for his money. N. P. DODGE, JR. Will PnshjiT7nHe Court. In my Judgment the revenue tax law should be amended so as to exempt from taxation $150 worth of household furniture and fixtures to every head of a house. This amount would cover the bare necessities for housekeeping and would encourage poor men In maintaining homes, men who now board and make up the floating population. This would help to establish homes, and American homes are th bulwark of the nation. I, favor the enactment of a state law ccmpelUng all dealers In gasoline to sell It only when put up In cans painted red and plainly marked "gasoline." Thia may seem a small thing, but when one takes Into account the fatality from gasoline it as sumes proportions which require the en actment of a state law to govern It. Min nesota has a similar statute, which has been of great value to the people. I favor the enactment of any legislation which would reduce the taxation- to the Douglas county taxpayer by consolidating the numerous county and city offices which are now duplicated and which could be feasibly consolidated without detriment to the monduct of the several offices. I favor the enactment of a law which will take the Omaha public schools out of. politics. The bad effect of politics on the public schools Is very evident and as harm ful as evident. The city of Toledo, O., Is governed by a law which effectually takes the publio schools out . of politics and thereby has secured the best results ever obtained In any city In the United States In public school education. I also favor a careful and Judicious In spection of the Omaha charter and the revision of It where It Is evidently weak and needed.' This should be preceded by a meeting of representative citlsens who should thoroughly, dlsouss the existing charter and the proposed amendments. After this a charter may be suggested which would be adapted for many years to the needs of this great and growing city. That a Juvenile court should be estab lished In this city. There Is something In th cry of the Ill-treated child which reaches the hearts of all men and women. Th child who, by evil or Immoral example of parents or associates, falls Into th evil path Is not to blame nor Is the parent or associate to blame entirely. Th state at large, th great father of all th people, Is primarily to blame for allowing such evil Influences as surround th child to exist, I propose to us my best efforts to ss that something is don for these poor unfortu nates by putting on th statutes a law which will allow th state to step In and be father and guardian of children who are not rightly treated, or ax under Im moral or vicious Influences. . I would sug gest a law whloh would prevent their being thrown in Jail with a lot of hardened crim inals where they would be come more hard ened and more evil by coming in contact with people of low and Immoral tendencies. A law which would carefully watch over these children, change their surroundings and place them under good Influences would be of incalculable benefit to the growlnaup generation. This Is broad and scientific charity and the stat Is the proper party to administer It. Take the can of the four boys lately ar rested for robbery and who were contem plating robbery of the street car conduc tors There were Joe Trattner .and Uke Dorun, boys of 18; Harry Madison, a boy of 16, and Roy .Case, a young man of 21. Only one of these had reached the age of manhood. Does anyone think that these four would now occupy the unfortunate position they now are In If they had been under proper influences when they were children? 1,000 for a disease germ that It can not kill. The reason is that germs are vegetables; and Lhiuoeoue like an ex cess of oxygen la deadly to vegetal matter. There lies the great value of Llquo one. It is the only way known to kill germs in the body without killing the tissues, too. Any drug that kills germs is a poison, and it cannot be taken in ternally. Medicine is almost helpless in any genu disease. It Is this fail than givea Liquozone its worth to' hu manity. And that worth la so great that we have spent over one million dollars to supply the first bottle free to each alck one we learned of. Germ Diseases These are the known germ diseases. All that medicine can do for these troubles is to help Nature overcome the germs, and such results are indi rect and uncertain. Llquoaone attacks the germs, wherever they are. And when the germs, which cause a disease are destroyed, the disease must end, and forever. That Is Inevitable.

Oaea t Advise from Heme. As I hav been away for nearly four years at Lincoln and hav not kept track of local matters as closely as I might hs don had I been at home, I will say, however, that I will do everything In my power to advance th Interests of the peopl of Omaha, South Omaha and Douglas county. If my constituents will kindly advise m of some of the matters to be brought Into question for th benefit of the peopl of ths district, I will gl'e them careful consideration and will do every thing I possibly can to secure their pas sage In the coming session of the legisla ture. I regret very much my Inability to give you a more definite answer at this time, but I will use my best Judgment and do my best for the people of my district. FRANK J. FITLE. For Eeoaoaiy All Aloasr. In our late campaign one of the main arguments used sgainst the republican party was oui present revenue law. I am of the opinion that the law aa It stands Is an Improvement over the old law. but In mv Judgment can be Improved In some parts and a more equitable plan reached whereby each Individual may pay his share and no more. I am satisfied In my mind that the ex penses of Douglas county and the city of Omaha can be greatly decreased, by dis pensing with two treasurers and having the business done with one treasurer; that both city and county can cut out several appointees and atlll conduct the business properly; that In all cases, whether elected or appointed, that they shall be paid no more for their services than would be paid for like services by a firm, corporation or Individual; that the management of cities of all classes be managed by men elected In the cities In which they reside and not appointed by the governor; that the fewer electlona held the better for ths people. I am a firm believer In municipal home rule and In .ownership when practicable. I am satisfied that a session of the legis lature can be conducted on business princi ples with a saving of several thousand dol lars to the taxpayers, If done on the same principle that a business man does busi ness. F. S. TUCKER. More F.xpedltloa la Farina". I have certain ideas about government that I think would be good for the people, but I am not so wedded to those ldears that they cannot be changed if I find that they are not In harmony with the will of the people. I believe that our government costs too much at present, and it L can lessen the burden of taxation without in juring the public service I shall do so. I shall do what I can to compel every man. company and corporation to bear an equal share of the expense of government ac cording to their mean. I believe that one of the most necessary steps in the direction of good government Is to lessen the ex pense of electlona For that reason I stie.ll favor the Wisconsin primary law by which the members of all parties can express their preference for their party candidates when they register. For the, purpose of giving better represen tation to all parts of the city I am in favor of dividing the city Into twelve wards; with two councllmen from eaoh ward, to be elected for a term of two years, one-half to be elected every year. This would leave twelve-men of some experience In the council all the time. The mayor could be elected for two or four years. This would give about 1300 voters to each ward. I would be In favor of giving an equal representation according to popula tionto any town or city adjoining Omaha that manifested a desire to unite with Omaha by a petition, or vote, of a majority of Its legal voter. Th cost of Increased representation could be easily met by the consolidation of the county and city treasuries and the county and city tax departments. I believe that the mayor and council should have the right to order paving or repaving on any street where It Is neces sary, unless a majority of the property owners protest against It The city ought to hav the right to do Its own paving and repairing by day labor. If It so desired, so that the contractors could not obstruct publio Improvements by law suits, or a combination on prices. I am In favor of municipal ownership of publio utilities and I shall not support any measure that would obstruct that policy which I know the peo ple favor. I hope that the head of all the depart ments of the city will make publio the changes they Mesir .In Che laws affecting their department so that the people and their representatives may know what they want. If South' Omaha desires any changes In Its charter, or any other laws that will help the Magic City, il shall be glad to give Its recommendations careful attention. For the county government I have had many suggestions from th heads of departments, among which are: The election of a county Paadrug Drsssy Stomach Traubls Tbroal Troubles iapapeia aVisina Sryslpatae r 0ll etesae Tumors Uloers Tariaoaow Oonorrhoa Olaot ' Wtwo'i "'nun All disss thai hosts with t.rar ail unai all catarrhall Matasloo lUims til tha ittes all la sarrees Sakilitr LHmosoae acta as a nulla accompli tuna what a trass ou aa. 50c.

MICHAEL, LEIi Favors Maaiclpfl Owaerahtp. I beg to stste that I have no special meas ure or particular subject on which I could write Just at present. I do now end hsve slways felt that any man elected to any publio office become a public servant I am at the beck and call on my constituents, and I have In this campaign pledged myself to the people of Douglas county to ssslst In every way possible to give them conservative, business legislation. My '.nofto for years has been municipal ownership of such public franchises as the people want and fair and equal taxation of all property, and along these lines I shall labor, and I shall txpect to receive In structions and assistance from any tax payer or any one of my constituents. It will frtve me pleasure to confer with anyone Interested on subjects pertaining to legislation. C. J. ANUKltSEN. g i Opposes I seless Laws. Replying to your fnvor, 1 have to say that I was nominated at the primaries upon a platform pleilnlng my support to the following propositions, towlt: 1. To secure the phshhkp of a law defin ing the main right-of-way of rallronds hiu! permitting municipalities to nssess and tax for municipal purposes all railroad proper ties outside of said right-of-way. 2. To secure tho passage of n law In creasing the powers of the Omalci Water board so that It miiy, in Its discretion, lower the existing water rates. Whether it shall devolve upon me to In troduce such bills. I am not prepared to say. Strictly speaking, we are elected to carry out ti.e wishes of tho people of our dis trict In particular and those of the state In general, but I am not In favor of crowd ing our statute books with laws unless they are demanded by the large percentage of the people who may be affected by their passage. I believe a majority of our citl sens In Omaha and South Omaha and Douglas county favor the above measures and have so expressed themselves. Owing to the stress and turmoil of the campaign I have been unable to give much thought to any prospective legislation, save that heretofore mentioned. I have no doubt but that a discussion of measures likely to be presented to the coming legislature will prove useful and helpful, not only to myself and fellow legis lators, but to the people as a whole. HENRY T. CLARKK, JR. Waiting: for Advice. I have no pet bills to put through the legislature. I concede it to be the duty of the members of the legislature to repre sent the wishes of those who send us there. A number of people have spoken to me about different measures In which they are interested and I have promised to give them consideration when the time cornea. In the Interval I should like to have every one who has plans for Improving our laws and Institutions to lot us hoar from them. MATTHEW E. MUXES. Special Round Trio hates to Chicago.
