PROBLEM OF THE FRATERNALS
Question of Auening Securities Up
County Board of Equalization.
to
STATi AUTHORITIES INSIST ON THE ORDER
U County Conmliilii Docs Not Adopt
. Reed'a Assessment, Lattes" ia
Instructed to Appeal
' to Court.
Ono of the problems that soon must be
solved by the County Board of Equaliza
tion is whether the fraternal Insurance
orders shall be asacssed or not. There are
now on file protests from the sovereign
camp. Woodmen of the World, and supreme
forest. Woodmen Circle. The protests set
out the value of personal property and se
curities held - In safety vaults, and it Is
claimed that all of this property is wholly
exempt. It is, the protests claim, all held
and used for charitable purposes and not in
any sense for profit. There Is .no capital
stock and the property and assets are al
leged to be purely in the nature of a trust
fund.
The Woodmen of the World protest gives
these figures:' Number of members in Ne
braska, 7.S40; .office furniture, 15,000; credits
with bank In Omaha, $402,189.06; securities
ln safe deposit vaults, book value, $2,018,
597.65. This last item is held to constitute the
credit of the soalety and to be exceeded by
liabilities wholly or partially matured. The
ordur reeejved from dues and assessments
in Nebraska for the year ending March 81,
19u6, $.'13,841. Of this amount 18 per cent goes
for expenses, 10 per cent Is Invested in se
curities and the balance Is used In paying
benefits. Assessor Heed's return on the
sovereign camp is $38,340.
The Woodmen Circle has 1,448 members
in Nebraska, from which it received $15,
3.:6 for the year ending March 31. Of this
JZ.45S.30 went for expenses, $1,277.49 was In
vested and the balance went to pay benefits.
Personal property Is given at $1,000, bank
credits $8,115.76, securities $J08.003.0. As
sessor's return, $16, 130.
Stale Hoard Determined.
The State Hoard of Equalization has
evinced a determination to assess the fra
ternals as other insurance companies are
assessed. Even it thevlocal board should
cancel the assessment the state board will
order an arpeul. Neither Assessor Reed or
any member f the Douglas county board
would discus tha action to be taken In ad
vance of Jho day when the question Is to
come up. ,)f , , ' t
A complain was received from the street
railway company asalnst a general assess
ment of $,0OO.O. Tha comrany is willing
to accept an assessment of $6,000,000. Re
ferred for ooiisideratkm. The company was
allowed a reduction of $10,000 on the old
power house at Twentieth, and Isard. It
bow stands at $30,000.. ,.
McCord-prady Grocery company made a
return f-$kl4.o00 cr personal property,
which the assessor raised to $262,500. Pro
test referred.
Manager C. O. Puller of the Postal Tele
graph company made a return of $9,770.97.
Mr. Reed raised this to $50,000 and the com
pany emphatically protests. Referred.
George Kg gem, quarter section in 36-16-10,
reduced from $41,600 to $40,000;
Clay, Robinson & Co., commission mer
chants. South Omaha, reduced from $15,000
to $10,000, same as last year. Attorney Scott
contended the assessment should be only
$500, but was overruled.
MRS. MANCHESTER 19 HOPEFUL
Believe State Board May Reacts
Order to Assess.
",We expect to near something definite
this week from our attorney, A. H. Bur
nett, who Is at Lincoln before the State
Board of Equalisation," said Mrs. Emma
B. Manchester, supreme guardian of the
Woodmen Circle, when asked what Was be
ing done with regard to the proposed $80,
000 building of the order. "Mr. Burnett Is
laboring with the state board to get it to
rescind Its order taxing the surplus of fra
ternals. A definite and Anal answer is ex
pected this week. ,
"In the meantime nothing is being done
with regard to the building. .We want to
stay In Nebraska and are waiting to see
if we cannot escape the unfblr taxation.
We have some hope that the Board of
Equalization will think better of its former
decision and settle the question favorablv
to us Irt the next few days. Letters are
coming to us from various states soliciting
the establishment of our headquarters. The
Topeka papers would make "it appear that
we desire to go there, but we do not. Our
desire Is to Btay in Nebraska first of all.
but If we are forced out of Nebraska, Kan
sas is not regarded as a desirable state for
headquarters."
Mrs. Manchester has Just returned from
Memphis, Tenn., where she assisted last
Sunday at the unveiling of a Woodmen
monument. J. C Root and Harry Root of
the Woodmen o the World were also there.

LOCAL INTEREST IN THE BANK
Omaha Persons Watch for Investigation of
Mail Older Concern at St. Louis.
NO MONEY LOST, SO FAR AS IS KNOWN
Institution Conducted on Novel Baala
la I'nder Inquiry of Govern. ,
ment, but Fraud la
Not Certain.
Several Omaha persons are Interested, It
is said, in the developments of a postofflce
inquiry into the methods of the People's
Bank of St. Louis, which was started a
short time ago on a mall order basis. It is
not known positively that any Omahans
put money In the bank, but several were
thinking about doing so, at least.
According to' press dispatches the state
of Missouri filed complaint against the In
stitution recently and. the bank closed for
a day and then re-opened and continued
doing business pending investigations by
the postal department.
The People's bank was started by E. G.
Lewis, who made a huge financial success
In a few years out of the Woman's Magazine
published in St. Louis and sold for ten
cents a year. Deposits were solicited by
circular and other advertising, tire at
tractive feature held out being some sort
of a profit-sharing scheme in addition to
tha t or 4 per cent Interest to be paid on
money entrusted to the house. ,
Herbert H. Fish, secretary of the West
ern Newspaper Union, was one of the
prominent Omaha men who were con
templating investments in Lewis' Bank.
Pnt No Money in.
"I first heard about the bank in Chicago,
where it was talked of with a good deal of
faeor,-' said Mr. Fish. "I cannot say I am
directly interested in the bank, however,
because I was inclined to wait develop
ments and see how the venture was going
to pan out before risking money. The re
markable success that Mr. Lewis had with
his publication caused me to think he might
work similar wonders with the bank. I un
derstand the bank Is still open and doing
business and that it Is by no means settled
that there is anything fraudulent about It.
"My understanding is that the bank ex
pected to get deposits from aH over the
country, attempting something along the
lines of a postal savings bank scheme and
to extend facilities for Investment and sav
ing to parts of the country not accessible
to banking houses. There was some sort of
a profit-sharing plan In connection apart
from the ordinary interest paid. Dispatches
stated that lwls was to have a hearing
before the Postofflce department June 14,
but I have not learned of the outcome." -
Other men connected with the Western
Newspaper Union who were reported to
have placed money In the St. Louis bank
denied that they had done so. In financial
or business circles nothing further could be
learned concerning the bank's local operations.
FLEMING CUTS OFF BEARD
rarts with Whiskers that He Had
Worn for Twenty-Five
V ea r s.
Tax Commissioner Fleming had to produce
proof of identification before City Treasurei
Hrnnlnga would recognise him at the city
hall Monday morning. This was due to the
(not that the commissioner had discarded
the full beard which has obscured his coun
tenance for an even twenty-five years. In
accordance with his orders his barber left
nothing but a mustache and a few symp
toms of "Lord Dundraarys." Mr. Fleming
denies that he caused the shearing because
he looked like A. J. Seaman, the tax title
buyer who Uvea on T cents a day; because
the Iowa doctors have pronounced whiskers
unsanitary or from an aspiration to quit
the demo-pop ranks and slide back Into
republican council wlurt be belonguU prior

THE TWENTIETH CENTURY FARMER
OMAHA, NEBRASKA
to Mr. Bryan's earthquake tn 1896. He
won't tell what he did It for, but shrewd
friends suspect the devastation came about
through the example set by Park Commis
sioner Ed Cornish, In the office adjoining
the tax commissioner's, who last week de
molished a short black mustache that had
been his property for twenty years. Mr.
Cornish now looks like Uncle Mark Hanna
In his prime, but he Is going to put the
mustache back on again, If nature will be
good, because he doesn't look as pleasant
as he did.
