Sherman Gives
Inaugural Talk
.Before Ad Club
Charles R. Sherman, newly elected pres
ident of the Associated Retailers of
Omaha, , mad his inaugural speech last
evening before thirty members of the or
gs nliation In their regular meeting at the
Paxton hotel.
A paper en pure advertising was read
by George Pray. He urged the retailers
to support the nation-wide campaign of
ad clubs and business men against false
and harmful advertising, which campaign
in being given hearty oo-o Deration by The
Bee and other newspapers.
Jt plea 'was cnad by Principal C. E.
Reed and Dr. H. A. Banter o tb Central
Hlghschool that the retailers reconsider
their stand against advertising in tne
school's student publication, the Regis
ter. Omaha advertisers, on Initiative of
the retailers, decided last year not - to
patronize the advertising columns of tb
paper on tb ground that It was an un
necessary outlay of their advertising
funds. Tha meeting but night voted to
stand by their decision In spite of the
educators' pleas.
A boost for Omaha was started by the
appointment of a committee which will
seek to have all railroad tickets to the
San Francisco exposition provided with
stopover privileges at Omaha. Such an
arrangement would bring much additional
business to the city next year.
A bill for introduction In the legislature.
providing for punishment of persons Who
give checks on overdrawn accounts In
payment for merchandise, will be drawn
up by the association. Thousands of dol
lars have been lost to local retailers on
such checks. It was said.
All retail store her will be closed all
day Thanksgiving, it was decided. The
organisation decided to start a collection
department, bo be managed from Secre
tary Metcalfe's office. He reported that
1,9(4 new accounts wer started In local
retail stores last month.
Annexation discussion ha brought
about a public consideration of the pro
posed new lighting avnttuct now lit the
hands of the Judiciary committee of the
city council. The inattet i brought
formally before the city council lst Mon
day evening and it was thought at the
time that there would bo no opposition
to It. 8ome taxpayers and property
holders In favor of annexation arc
against tying the i-lty up to a new five
year contract when In all probability the
city will become part of Ureater Omaha
at the meeting of 1ie legislature this
winter.
The new contract proposes a change In
the lighting system -it the business dis
trict of South Omaha and already the
new standards are being placed la posi
tion near the city hall. The contract
will not affect any change insofar as ex
pense to the city go? although the
Electric Light company nserls that the
new system will glvo better light than
under the present order The total ex
pense, however, will run just about the
same. At present the fitelit appropriation
is I19.5H0. Just short of IJO.OOO. Moreover,
the light company pays a royalty which
amounted lust year to $3,000. In the new
contract there will bo no mention of a
royalty, it Is Bald. This last, however,
la said to be mandatory in the city
charter and aocordlng to a high city offi
cial such a contract as Is proposed would
not amount to anything without provi
sion for the payment of a royalty, Here
tofore the royalty has always been con
sumed for lighting purposes.
A new angle to the affair is the pro
posal to await the action of the legis
lature on the annexation bill which will
surely come up this time. Another propo- J
sltton is that the Omaha Gas company
be given a chance In South Omaha to
bid on the atreet lighting of the business
district leaving the outlying district to
the Eelectrlo Light company. Said one
official: "The Gas company might wetl
be given the contract for lighting the
business district and the rest be given to
the Klectrio Light company."
In any case It appoai-s that there Is to
be a merry little war over the award of
the lighting contract with the electric
people. The contract expired about Oc
tober 28.
War Tax on Pool Hal la.
E. S. Crltchfleld, deputy collector of
the United States revenue service, was in
South Omaha yesterday making up his
lists of pool halls, billiard rooms, bowl
ing alleys and saloons, which will corns
under the new Var tax. Every bowling
alley will be taxed $5 an alley and each
billiard and pool table will 'also be taxed
$5. Wine and such things will be taxed
also, as will the stocks and assets of the
banks.
In South Omaha the revenue officers
will find that it is not easy to poUect
the taxes due on pool halls and' such
places. Treasurer P. J. Martin has mode
a strenuous effort and Chief of Police
John Brlggss and his special assistant,
Michael OUltn, have also tried to collect
the taxes from pool halls and like places.
There are many which hold out against
the officers. Uncle Sam, it Is thought.
will show tb pool hall keepers who have
been derelict.

South Omaha. But the South OinnVt
