BILL TO SAVE STATE MONEY
Levies Tax for Kegistericg Warrants
Unless Purchased for School Find.
ARMED TO FORCE OUT THE SPECULATORS
Two mlverslty Bills Which Disclose
m Krmt Scheme o the Part of
the Lancaster Const?
Delegation,
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, March 4.-(Speclal Telegram.)
Hundreds of thousands of dollars an
nually saved to the state and state war
rant taken out of 'the hands of speculator
is the object sought and which Btate Treas
urer Mortensen believes will be accom
plished If the legislature passes H. R. 821, a
bill introduced by the house re-enue and
taxation committee, of which Douglas of
Hock Is chairman. The measure had lt
origin with Mr. Mortensen atid all those
who have studied It carefully believe in
its mission.
Briefly, the bill provides that no warrant
drawn upon the auditor of state shall be
entitled to registration until the owner
shall have paid a registration fee to the
state treasurer, the fee to amount to 1
per cent. For Instance, the bill stipulates
that the fee on warrants of $50 or less
fhall be 60 cents, and 60 cente for each
additional $60 or fraction thereof. These
fees shall be applied to the general fund.
The bill, however, provldca that no fee
shell be charged for warrants bought by
order of the Board of Educational Lands
and Funds from the educational trust
fund of the tate;
Ostensibly the purpo" of thl bill, a
explained by Representative Douglas, 1 to
reduce the Interest on all warrant not sold
to the school fund from 4 to I per cent,
thereby diverting to the state treasury at
least $500,000 a year, calculated on the basl
of the present state debt. It being esti
mated that this 1 per cent will catch ap
proximately 26 -per cent of the total float
ing Indebtedness. This revenue would go
to the general fund. '
But in reality this I not the purpose of
the bill. The purpose of the bill, Mr.
Cures Colds and

Colds are tainted with Grip. In conse
quence, the Iufluensa I fierce and blinding;
the Cough deep seated and dangerous; the
Bore Throat malignant and prostrating.

Douglas et forth. Is to prevent the pay-,
ment of these registration fee which, on
the face of the bill, seems so apparently
to be It only object. The Idea I to take
the warrant out of the hand of specu
lator and In order to do thl It la designed
to fix the registration fee so high that the
speculator would rather accept hi money
from the treasurer than to pay the fee
and collect Interest later. The cash paid
for these warrant will be taken from the
school fund. No one seems prepared to of
fer an estimate a to what aggregate sav
ing thl process will net to the state, but
the member of the revenue committee are
agreed with Treasurer Mortensen that the
sum will be a large one and will more than
prove the wisdom of this plan.
Lancaster's Cunning? Scheme.
Borne sagacious minds have discovered a
"nigger" In the woodpile in H. R. , by
Warner of Lancaster. This bill calls for
an appropriation of $100,000, ostensibly, at
least, for the establishment at North Platte
of a sub-experiment atatlon for the agri
cultural chool of the university, for vari
ous and sundry Improvements and facilities
at the Btate university and here la the al
leged "nigger" "for the purchase of lands
for the use of the university."
Burns of Lancaster has a bill before the
house to enable the regent of the uni
versity to condemn a certain tract of land
adjacent to the university campus, compris
ing four city blocks. This bill, peculiarly,
does not carry an appropriation. The re
gents are Just to be allowed to condemn
the land; that all.
Now then, here I the Warner bill with
its appropriation of $100,000 and provision
for the "purchase of lands for the use of
the university." The author of this bill
adroitly omitted saying what purpose thl
land might be devoted to. As the Burns
bill stopped short of providing an appro
priation, so the Warner bill stopped short
of specifying what thl land might be used
for. -
Just one link Is needed to connect this
chain. The university people want the land
adjacent to the campus for an athletic
field. Here are the suture where the
Warner and Burn bill Join.
Conscious of the fact that the university
would have to ask for Increased appropria
tions this year which could not be, dis
guised, the authors of these bill realized
the necessity of concealing their purposes
a much a possible and of giving each
mcaure all the potential strength they
could. That is why the Warner bill has
the provisions relating to the agricultural
department of the university. That I the
bait to the large farmer element of the leg
islature which must be deluded by some
means or other to support an appropriation
bill.

WEST POIXT'S TELEPHONE MNES
New Terminal Board Being; Installed
with OOO Wire Capacity.
WEST POINT, Neb., March 4 -( pedal.)
For over two weeks past a company of
a dozen telephone workmen under the di
rection of two foremen, has been at work
setting telephone poles and thoroughly
overhauling and greatly enlarging the local
telephone system. A new terminal board
with a capacity of nearly 900 wires, will be
placed In the central office for town and
country use and the present board will be
removed. Two lead pipes will enclose and
carry 800 wires from the new board, one
with 400 wires, giving 100 wires to stores
and carrying 3"0 to Washington street, and
giving off 100 of these wires at Walnut
street. The other 400 wire will be divided
to supply patrons In the west, south and
east. Each of these two large pipes Is
two inches in diameter and contains 404
wires, each wire insulated in paper. The
wires are all In one roll, twisted a little,
like a rope, and lead melted and run over
the rope of wires, making a solid mass of
any length desired, making asolidmassof
200 wires, or lt)0, or 60, or 25, or 15, each
made In a like manner. About 13,000 feet
of these lead cables will be put to use here.
To support this heavy mass the best and
strongest poles will be used. To carry the
weight between the poles steel wires one
inch in diameter are strung to the poles,
and the lead pi lies are hung along, under
and to the steel wires by mean of marlln
loops. The wire In the cables are all
copper. Ample provision will also be made
to secure the best connections with toll
lines to neighboring towns. The rural serv
ice operated from thl office is now con
sidered to be one of the best In the coun
try, but will be greatly Improved when the
new apparatus Is Installed. The amount
Invested by the telephone company in this
new work will be about $8,000. Manager

DEFENDS THE SULTAN
(Continued from First Page.)
tended to all Englishmen who understood
the waiter.
The motion waa adopted.
Mr. Bryce, M. P., moved the second reso
lution as follows:
"That, having ragard to the failure of
Russia and Austria-Hungary during the
past two years to check the Increasing
anarchy of Macedonia or avert the danger
of renewed Insurrection and of war, this
conference declares that the only satis
factory solution of the question is the ap
pointment of a European governor for
Macedonia and Adrlanople, Independent of
the sultan and responsible to all the great
powerwof Europe, a recommended by his
majesty's government." He said It had be
come quite plain that It was useless to ask
reforms from the Turk. The Turkish prom
ises began nearly seventy years ago and
they were renewed on many occasions
since, but he challenged anyone to give a
single instance in whim any promise had
been kept or any Improvement had been
Introduced in the treatment of Christian
subjects.
Turks Will Not Kmecute Reform.
The Turks could not and would not exe
cute reforms. The Turkish system did not
admit of civic equality between Mussel
men and Christians. They were bound,
therefore, to do what Justice and'humanlty
required appoint a governor who would
not be bound by the sacred laws, who
would not take his order from the sultan,
but who would be responsible to the
;wers of Europe alone and would not
need to regard the orders and directions of
his nominal sovereign. Enormous political
difficulties would arise If they were to ask
at this moment for a formal and legal sepa
ration of these provinces from the Turkish
empire. After all, their duty to the poor
people themselves, who were suffering day
by day and week by week, was to endeavor
to obtain the reforms which would soon
est aid them. They had to ask themselves
what was practicable and possible; and It
was because of the great difficulties that
confronted thorn that the Balkans commit
tee recommended this qualified scheme of
the appointment of a European governor
rather than the more complete scheme of
Independence for the provinces. Wherever
Turkish rule had been removed there the
condition of the people had at once risen;
whatever country had been emancipated
from tho Turkish yoke In that country
prosperity had at once revived, because
pence and order had been Introduced. And
even In those places In which Turkish su
premacy was nominally alive, but where
direct 'control had come to an end, there
had been a state of well-being and order.
That was what they asked now for Mace
donia. They believed that the appoint
ment of a governor would be sufficient to
attain the end they desired. Ixird Unit
downe had from the first shown good will
and earnest desire to grapple with the
question, and It was not in any antagon
ism to him or to the government that they
had met. What they desired to do was to
strengthen his hands. They were anxious
that it should be known that In England
at least there was no difference of opinion
on this subject and that the people of the
country would do all they could to assist
Lord Lansdownn In his attempt to bring
about a cessation of the present horrors.
Lord Lytton, in seconding the motion.
said he believed that the arbitrament of
war would not be required In thia instance
If the British government wonld only show
determination. The motion was adopted.
Prepares for Trouble.
CONSTANTINOPLE March 4. (Special '
Cablegram to The Bee.) Owing to the re
ceipt of information that the Macedonian,
committee is preparing a general Insur
rectionary movement for the spring, the
Turkish minister of war has decided to call

Macedonia. I-arge quantities of arms and
ammunition are also to be sent to Mace
donia, and a plan Is being drawn up for
the crushing of the revolt. The minister'
decision was intended to be kept secret.
