LINCOLN. Doc. 12. (Special Telegram. 1
The university Hoard of R. gents at the
mrctliiK held this afternoon relented a
trifle in the matter of holding political
meetings on the campus ot the mate In
stitution and amended the present ruling
which absolutely prohibits all such gath
erings tD permit the holding of meetings
as long as they are nonpartisan.
The letting of the contract for the con
struction of the new plant industry build
ing wan put over until later, inasmuch as
some of the bids were not complete. The
building is to cost JW.OOO and was author
ized by an appropriation of the last leg
islature. The board axked for addltlonul esti
mates along with the bids, providing (or
a reduction In the construction of the
building in case a switch to the state
farm was secured. Some of the bidders
neglected to do this. When all of the
estimates are in the entire matter will
be submitted to the property committee,
with power to act, and they will decide
whether to accept the bids with or with
out the switch.
The board turned down" the proposal
made by the Young Men's Christian asso
ciation of the university to operate a
cafe in the Temple building,, deeming: it
not feasible. When the basement is va
cated, it is likely that permission will be
srranted for the operation of a cafe there,
but the basement la now occupied by the
Temple high school. The proposed set of
mlea governing the student loan fund
was unanimously adopted by the board.
Prof. Smith Resigns.
The resignation of Prof H. R. Smith of
the state farm, an expert of national rep
utation in animal husbandry, was ac
cepted. Prof. Smith resigned in order to
accept an offer from the University of
Minnesota.
.The board sent to the mayor and city
council of the city of Omaha a request
that the street and alley now leading
through the grounds of the medical col
lege be closed. The board also tendered
a vote of thanks to Dr. R. C. Moore, who
Ttccntly tendered his library, a very valu
able one, to the medical college. The
board granted Prof. F. ; D. . Barker a
semester's leave of absence, and several
minor changes in the faculty were made.

(treat deal of speculation among the dem

Secretary of State
Has Primary Plans
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Neb.. Dec. U . (Special.)
Just how Taft. ljtFollette, Harm.m
Clnrk, Wilson. Folk and maybe Roose
velt and Bryan. If the Intter two take n
notion to run. or any others who mny
want to run for the presidency, will Ret
their names on the primary ballot in
Nebraska at the primaries next spring Is
a question.
According to the provisions of the new
primary law. voters may express their
preference for president and vice presi
dent. Secretary of 'State Walte does hot
cure to encumber the ballot Willi the
numes of a dozen or more who look upon
It as their duty to file for president of
the United States.
If the law Is to be strictly enforced,
any number of names may be placed on
the primary ballot. It provides that the
names of the presidential and vice presi
dential candidates shall be placed on the
bnllot "by petition of their supporters."
It does not specify the number of peti
tioners necessary. Possibly a petition
signed by two or three names might have
to be accepted by the secretary of state.
Waite Intends to write to all of the po
litical committees In this 'state to submit
to him a list of names of the candidates
of their respective parties who probably
will be candidates for these two offices.
The committees may prepare petitions
and names mentioned therein will be
placed on the bnllot.
However, the secretary of state does
not rule that he will accept no other
names, but he desires to eliminate as far
as possible who for mere notoriety ask
to have their names on the ballot.
OREGON TRAIL MARKERS
READYJN FEBRUARY
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Dec 12.-iSpeclal.)-Markers
for the old Oregon trail will be ready
for delivery February 1, next, according
to an announcement by the Oregon Trail
commission made public today.
When the commission receives the
markers It will send them here and there
along the route as orders are received.
It Is expected that there will be several
more orders than the commission' will be
able to fill with the present appropriation
of $2,000.
The commission will assist In the dedi
cation of these monuments as far aa pos
sible, but the details of the programs will
have to be worked out by the local com
mittees. The following is an extract from a
pamphlet issued by the commission:
All school officers and teachers of the
state are requested to observe March 1,
1912 as Nebraska day and to provide an
appropriate historical and patriotic pro
gram for that day, and receive voluntary
contributions from the school children to
aid in this work.
The commission has decided upon a
definite style of marker to be made of
dark gray Bashaw granite, from Vermont
quarries, 1 foot 6 Inches by 1 foot 5 Inches,
to bet set In a cement base. All of these
regular markers bear the inscription,
"Oregon Trail, Marked by State of Ne
braska, 18U-1912." The coat of these,
f. o. b. Lincoln, is $18.60 each.
The Union Pacific and the Burlington
Railroad companies have agreed to trans
port these markers free from Lincoln to
any point In the state adjocent to their
rails. Local organisations and Individuals
along the route of the trail are especially
urged to co-operate in the setting of these
markers. Such local Interests will be re
quired to furnish a site for the marker
subject to the approval of the commission.
Such site shall embrace not less than 400
square feet and shall be deeded to the
Nebraska State Historical society in trust
tor the state.
DECI0US CHARGED WITH
SELLING MORTGAGED GOODS
BROKEN BOW, Neb., Dec. 12. (Spe
cial.) A warrant is out for the arrest of
H. C. Deoious, formerly of this place,
charging him with selling mortgaged
property and misappropriating; funds. It
appears that Declous, who ha lately been
running a restaurant at Ravenna, sold
the property to William Lints of Merna,
this county, but after taking possession
Lints discovered that a large range and
various other articles In the place were
heavily mortgaged. It Is also alleged that
line ex-restaurant keeper had appropriated
f$100 that should have been turned over
to Lints. Declous has disappeared, but
Sheriff Kennedy haa hopes of locating
him somewhere In South Dakota, aa he
was last heard from at Bdgemont.'

REMARRIES TOO SOON
SCOTT'S BLUFFS, Neb., Dee, 12.
(Special.) The law and the prophet are.
the . part of a legal complication at this
place. Mrs. Schmaul secured a divorce
and overlooking the important fact that
it was not effective for six months, she
was a few days later married at Chey
enne to D. K. Profflt of this place. On
their return their honeymoon was rudely
shattered by the information of the court
that her decree of divorce had not been
signed by the honorable presiding Judge,
R. W. Hobert, and which left her and
Mr. Profflt in a most embarrassing posi
tion. The outcome, if the full force of
the law is given, is serious.

Nebraska
Assessment Clerk
Deplnvos Laxity
(From a Siiu. . i iMponilcnt.)
ORAM) ISLAND, Neb., Dec. 12. (Spe
cial.) Deploring' what he termed a ten
dency of recent legislation In this state
to weaken rather than strengthen the ad
ministration of assessment laAs, Henry
Seymour, secretary of the State Board of
Assessment, addressed .the convention of
county assessors here this afternoon on
"Real Kstate Assessment for 1W12." He
urged the reduction of levies, if taxes are
considered loo high. Instead of the or
dinary method of poor and low assess
ments and equalisation of property
values. Among other things, he said:
An Investigation of the figures pub
llshed will disclose the fact that the
actual assessed valuation of lands in Ne
braska were slightly less than 67 per
cent of the valuation of the lands as re
ported by the government census of in 10.
Absolutely nothing is gained by this low
valuation. A better showing and better
advertisement for the stiite would be a
higher valuation and a lower levy. I
have not as yet received the government
figures on the value of city real estate,
but presume that they will show con
siderable discrepancy when compared
with assessed valuations. You men here,
county clerks, commissioners and super
visors, are all members of the County.
Board of Equalization, and this equal
isation is a matter that must be met and
handled by yourselves and by the state
board without gloves If we are going to
really equalise valuations. I believe that
If we. ail work together with a view to
getting the assessors to list property
without fear or favor, and then look the
matter squarely in the face when equal
isation Is made, a better and more Just
and equitable result will be obtained and
will in the long run be more satisfactory
to everybody concerned. ,
