SOUTH OMAHA, Nov. J. -To the Editor
of The Bee: The question or consolidation
of Omaha and South Omaha la the most
important matter "thot haa' eome up In
South Omaha In year. It haa been ad
mitted on all sides thst those In favor
of annexation have presented many rood
reaaona In favor of the proposition. Be
fore Bumming; up the many advantage
that will accrue from consolidation, I wish
to call attention to a few of the many
misrepresentations made by the opposition.
The most ef them are not worthy of seri
ous consideration and I feel aure the peo
ple most -Interested will consider theli
source and govern themselves accordingly
One Insinuation has been freely clrcu
luted that money la being used In larg
quantities by the annexationists. I knov
those favirlng annexation have felt fron
the start they would rather lose out In i
clean fight than win In such a campaign
as the opposition ha made. The little
money that has been expended by those
favoring the project has been used for
strictly legitimate purposes. Only one
piece of printed matter haa been author
ised up to this time and that was a small
handbill calling attention to the mass meet
ing on October 18. From the meager funds
available, j we bave not been able to hire
brass bands or orators. I challenge the
opposition , te show . where anyone back
of annexation' has profited or expects to
profit a single dollar more than will hun
dreds of other property owners and tax
payers. It speaks well for the community
that so many public spirited eltlaena will
give freely of their time, energies and
means toward furthering' the success of a
movement 'which means ao much to the
growth and development of latent resources.

On the other hand. It can be seen that
those actively opposed to consolidation are
those holding political offices. These peo
ple cannot be blamed In their effort to
retain these offices. This matter of con
solidation is simply a question of whether
the city government Is to be run for the
benefit of the politicians or ths home owners
and taxpayers..
One In position to know better has stated
that the bonded Indebtedness of Omaha
" was over I20,uuo,000. The facts are, as
shown by a certified statement from the
city comptroller of Omaha, that the ac
tual bonded Indebtedness Is only $j,ol,u 0.
This la exclusive of special assess.nent
' bond to the amount of 1417.500, which are
'not a debt of the city, but bonds for Im
provements that are to be paid tor by
property owner and only guaranteed by
the city. To onset this bonded debt Omaha
haa a sower system worth ItWO.OOO. and
paved streets, a like sum. to say nothing
of 260 miles of sidewalk and many splen
did publio buildings. The fact Is, that the
bonded Indebtedness, rata of taxation and
other Important features concerning the
two cities are on a par, considering the
relative population of the two cities. Any
one trying to convey a different Impression
makes a dsliberato attempt to mislead the
people.' o'M'i'i1 t- . - .(,-' :
Purely Daslneaa Matter.
This consolidation matter Is a purely
business matter whether our property will
be worth more In Greater Omaha than in
Bouth Omaha; whether we will have more
advantages and needed public Improvement
under one big city, government than we
have at present.
It Is a well-known natural law that like
causes produce like effects. The history
of consolidation In other cities has proven
It (o be profitable to atl concerned. Why
not, hereT Those In favor of annexation
have meant to present faota and arguments
' that have undoubtedly shown that the
consolidation would be a desirable thing
for both cities. Our arguments have either
not been answered or replied to with
meaningless generalities. As far as my
self Is concerned I would hardly be In
favor of annexation If I thought It was
going to depreciate the value of my home
or ' would work disadvantageous to my
business Interests.

Consolidation haa proved profitable to
the suburbs of Kanaaa City. Puluth, Chi-'
cago, 8t. Louis, Portland, and, in fact,
every place where it haa taken place. The
opposition cannot point to a single In
stance where consolidation has worked to
the detriment of either party to consollda-v

, and spent a couple of hours with three
of the old settlers who were residents of
I West port at the time of the consolidation
with Kansas City. Colonel Hunter, who
was city assessor of Weslport at the time,
was rmirh opposed to the consolidation.
Mr. Hunter's opinion now Is thst con
solidation was of undoubted benefit to
Westport. He said the population had
Increased too per cent. Former pastures
and cornfields are now built up with good
homes and business places. Where West
port ws a mile square, It Is now two
miles on way and Ave miles the other.
Mr. Hunter said thst Westport had been
on the down grade ever since the civil
wsr, up to the time of consolidation, but
that alnce the consolidation It had seen a
continuous and splendid growth. Mr. Da
vid Merryweather, who was treasurer of
Westport for eleven years and later a
councilman, said that at the time he was
much opposed to annexation. To use his
own words, "There were no bad effects
of the consolidation; on the other hand,
they were all good." He said Westport
hsd obtained better fire and police protec
tion, better se, electric light, water and
ewer facilities. The schools had been
much Improved; eight ward sehools and
one high school are there now Instead of
he one school that was there ten years
tgo. A fine new high school Is now being
rected to cost :40,0ik.

Omaha Taxes Lower.
It Is Claimed that our taxation Is lower
than In Omaha. According to the levies
In both cities this year the taxes In Bouth
Omaha, for sH purposes are three-fifths
of a mill larger than those In Omaha.
Had we had the . proper levy In Bouth
Omaha our taxes would have been at least
I mills higher than thoee of Omaha. This
Is not only my t al opinion, but also
that of those who ve made a study of
city finances. An ex-ctty official, who
proved one of the most able and conscien
tious officials we have ever had, when
asked about the matter said that the levy
this year Is entirely too low, that every
fund, will be exhausted before the year Is
out. He said the levy ahould have been
at least 11 mills. The Bouth Omaha levy
for 19o was .7S mills. The levy this year
is only.2 mills. This reduction waa mada
In the face of a certain larger expense and
largely decreased receipts.
The expenses of the city for the fiscal
year ending August 1, 1P07, were over
1218.000. It Is estimated that the expenses
for the present fiscal year will total around
1240,000, or an increase of over $20,000. The
1SXX-7 levy produced 11(11,40. The 1907-8 levy
is estimated to produce only 8163,841, or a
decrease of practically $30,000. For the
fiscal year ending August 1, 1907, we col
lected in scavenger tnxes 13VT31.28. These
taxes will undoubtedly be light this year,
owing to the fact that most of them have
been colIected-U.000 will be a liberal esti
mate. Here Is a shortage of at least $20,000.
These figures show that the gross revenue
of the city will be around 870,000 less than
were the receipts of the last fiscal year.
While our levy this year I only a
compared with 9.75 mills last year, next
year It will be anywhere from 12 to 14 mills
to make up. The levy waa made small
this year for one of two purposes, either
to embarrass the question of annexation or
.or the benefit of the administration of a
certain city located not far from Bouth
Omaha.
Omaha's Greater Economy.
The city government of Omaha ha been
run on a much mora economical basis than
the city of South Omaha. "This la provenby
the following figures taken from the rec
ords: In 1900 the per capita expense In
South Omaha was $3.28. In the year 1907
It had steadily Increased until the par cap
ita expense was 86.82. Here is an increase
of over 60 per oent In expense for each
man, woman and child In South Omaha In
19)7 as compared with 1900. Compare these
figure with Omaha.. In Omaha in 1900 the
expense per capita was $7.09; In 1907 It had
decreased to $5.18. Where the expense per
capita In South Omaha increased 'In seven
years over 60 per cent, In Omaha It de
creased over 38 per cent.
It must be borne In mind that when the
two cities are consolidated everything will
be bought In large quantities. Hay, grain,
cement, and in fact everything that the
city use can be bought In carload lots at
bottom prices, meaning a saving all along
the line,
Omaha's latere t Bat Lewer.
The city of South Omaha pays a larger
rale of Intereet orf its bonds proportion
ately than does Omaha. Where our bonds
were sold with difficulty at 6 per cent at
par, a were the West Q street bonds, re
cently, Omaha haa had no trouble in dis
posing of their at a good premium at 4V4
per oent. In fact, the premium was such
that It reduceed the interest on the -bonds
to 4-28 per cent. The city of South Omaha
was recently Informed that hereafter they
TICKET
COUNTY
THE OMtVIIA
would be compelled to pay 8 per cent on
their bonds. Thla matter of Interest Is In
Itself a very Important matter.
By a speclsl provision Injected Into the
city charter by the last legislature, a large
number of citizens will be deprived of vot
ing at municipal elections unless they have
paid some municipal tax In the city during
the previous jear. The expenses of living
and educating one's children sre now such
that many people have not been able ta
get ahead. I believe that the man Who
educates, his children and equips them for
life' duties and makes them good, liter
abiding cltlsens Is doing the best for the
welfare of the country and ahould not be
deprived of the privilege of participating
In his city government because of not being
fortunate enough to acquire taxable prop
erty.
Omaha's Terminal Tax.
It Is hard to estl. tte the revenue that
will accrue to the city of Omaha from the
terminal tax. It Is a certainty that Onaha
j Will receive somewhere around $100,000 from
, this tax. South Omaha will receive prac
j tlrally nothing from this source. I believe
it would be well for Bouth Omaha to be In
I a position to share In this terminal tax.
The laboring people will undoubtedly give
annexation a large vote. It will mean
shorter hours and better pay for many of
them. Omaha haa the double shift. Fire
men there work only twelve hours whereas
our firemen are' on duty twenty-four hours.
The policemen here work twelve hours.
In Omaha they work only eight The school
teacher will receive from $-00 to $(00 more
per year and If competent willed put on the
permanent list and assured of their posi
tions as long as they rare to have them.
Condition Admittedly Ideal.
Those opposed to annexation bow realize
that the condition are almost Ideal for the
consolidation of Omaha and South Omaha.
The Important matter of bonds and taxa
tion are entirely equitable considering the
relative populations. The "Antl" crowd I
pleading for delay. The fact 1 that the act
pissed by the last legislature was about as
good a measure as has been voted by any
legislature covering consolidation. It I
claimed that the city of Bouth Omaha jfrlll
be without representation In the Omaha
council unttt- the next legislature meet
next fall. The city eouaoll ha the power
at any time to redlstrlct the city. ThU
could be done the minute consolidation
takes effect so that South Omaha will be
fully represented from the start.
Omaha men and capital built the stock
yards and Induced the packing house to
locate In South Omaha. What we need
now most of all Is more Omaha capital
to put mills and factories along the ex
cellent trackage In South Omaha. We
need more Industrie here to employ more
workmen. More factories mean a larger
population and Increased property values
because of more demand for property.
More population means more money to be
spent at our stores.
There has been a club formed in Omaha
of fifty of the prominent business men
there who have already raised a fund vf
$$00,000 for the special purpose of help
ing small manufacturing plants that may
desire to locate In Omaha. LeVs get In
and work with Omaha and get o'ur share
o'f these new establishment.
Nowhere In thl country does an Im
aginary line separate two such important
cities as here. Annexation Is Inevitable, j
Vote "Te" for It next Tuesday and put
things on a settled, solid basis.

Some Features of the Annual Report
of Cornell's President
yigoeous suppression or HAzmo

ing; for Unmanly Btadeata Ac
tivities of yjgllona Edu
cational Institutions.
President Scburmaniof Cornell university
has Just Issued his annual report cover
ing the affairs of the college for the year
ending Bepfember. W7. The number of
students enrolled during the year waa 4,216,
of whom 3,6i3 were regularly enrolled and
the rest attendants at the summer session
and the winter school of agriculture. This
Is an Increase of 1,245 since the century
opened, when the total was 2.980.
The dominant note of the report Is edu
cational efficiency, with recommendations
for Improving It, both In the field of liberal
culture and pure science, and also In the
fields of professional and technical educa
tion. On the subject of liberal education at
Cornell, President Schurman points out that
the general adoption of the elective sys
tem ha obscured the Idea of what a liberal
education Is, and expresses the opinion that
pending the recovery of an acceptable defi
nition of liberal education, the colleges of
arts In America will perform three definite
functions:
"They will give ah education In the lib-"
eral arts and the pur science to the com
paratively small number of men who seek
It before entering schools of theology, lew,
medicine or technology ;s they will train
specialists In laneuage, phllnnonhy, history,
economics. polltca and physical science,
most of whom after graduation will devote
themselves to teaching or wrHIng; they
will give a more rneral eduction to men
who will afterwards devote themselves to
business, journalism and public, service
etc."
The president snrgests (o the fsenUr the
cnnslderatlnn of the mllcv of formulating,
with the aid of outs'rio evnerta In buslm.an.
JournaHsm, etc.. couraes to be recommended
to underrr(1utte-wm look forward to
those vocations.
The report nronnses a momentous chanve.
Hitherto students upon graduation at the
Mh schools bsve been admitted to th
Cornell courses In law, medicine, civil, me
chanical and electrical enelneerlng, and
architecture, and .unon completion of the'r
professional courses have received the pro
fessional decrees. President BVhnrman's
recntnreenflatlnn 1 that In the nesr future
matriculants at Cornell university shall
stend one or more years In the study of
lanruaee, literature. btorv. economics, po
litical science, etc., before admission to am
professional courses at the university.
Relative .to the univers'ty's finances.
Pres'dent Schurman savs that, ewc'udln
th Medical cnllera In. New York Cty. the
productive funds of the university amounted
on Aurust 1. 1907. to Sa.WSIS 84. The corre
snnnrKns; figure for August 1, 190,' were
S7.IS39.874.42.
A Check to Haslagr,
Touthful excess of spirits as exempli
fied in college basing, relates the Chicago
Tribune, has received a discouraging re
proof In the action of a Kewanee jury
which has brought In a verdict of t'f.W
damages against five young men. Their
offense was the haling of a fellow stu
dent by tying him to a tombstone and
leaving him In the cemetery until In his
fright he pulled the stone over, breaking
his leg In the effort. In further rebuke
the hasers will be held on a criminal
eharge, making this one of the most ex
pensive college pranks thus far re
corded. A fsw days ago the president of the
University of Wisconsin notified the au
thorttlea at Madison that they should pro
ceed without delay or discrimination
against all students guilty of Infraction
of the laws or amenable to the discipline
of the town. It is recognised that a stu
dent enjoys no privileges which entitle
him to special exemption from punishment
for misconduct, and that because be Is
a student he need not expect toleration
for his misdeeds or consideration for his
position. The basing of one student by
other la m,uch less common than formerly
and has been generally handled success
fully by the college authorities, but such
proceedings as were Instituted at Kewa
nee are likely to prove even more effective
In doing away with a custom which has
gained In vlclousness what it may have
lost In fequency. .
The recent outbreak at the School of
Mines In Rolla, Mo., well justified the
attention of the local police, and other
occurrences In, other college towna have
called for more discipline than the col-
lege power saw. properly to aasert. The
old saying that boys will be boya lose
much of its significance when the boys
underbtand that their Ideas of humor do
not . correspond with the notions enter
tained by the community, and that col
lege pranks which result In broken bones
and destruction of property'lead swiftly
to a penalty worth considering.
