Rail Oil Rates
Made Subject of
Board Hearing

LINCOLN. Jan. S.-(!peclal.-Tlie hear
ln of romolslnts acnlnsl frelnht rates
on oil made by the National Petroleum
association and the Marshall Oil com
pany were taken up before the State
Railway commission this morning.
The hearing has a dual bearing, the
companies asking for reduced rates and
the railroads for what amounts to a
ral.e of rates by a change of claMilflca
tlon of oils. The companies say that the
present rates are too high, unduly re
stricting their business. A reduction, they
say. will greatly Imrease their saVs,
lower the price of oil imd make up to
the railroads In In-Teased business what
they would have lost In reduced rates
I otherwise.

LANCASTER COUNTY MAY
WITHHOLD STATE TAXES
' (From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN,; Jan. 6. (Speclal.r-R. C.
Strode, special counsel ' for Lancaster
county, in a suit, successfully prosecuted
recently to recover something like $10,000
that was paid to the state by the county
treasurer, following the failure of the
Capitol National bank some twenty years
ago, has written Stats Auditor Howard
attempting to collect the judgment. He
advises that It can be paid out of either
special or general" funds or appropriations
and says, furthermore, that If such is not
done, Lancaster county would be justified
In withholding the amount of the judg
ment out .of state taxes.
The county treasurer paid the money
over to the state following the faUure of
the bank, on the theory, which the su
premo court held, to have been a mistaken
one, that the county was' guarantenr of
taxes collected and held for the state.

There was a marked expansion In the
business mortality I the Vnlted States

ported to R, G. Dun It Co. numbering IS.
290 and supplying $.V.7.90s,l of defaulted
Indebtedness. This contrasts wlth.lfl,037
suspensions In the preceding year for
$37t.72,2'i, and In both respects the re
turns compared adversclv with all ear
lier periods. The unusually heavy liabili
ties, however, were largely due to a com
paratively few Insolvencies oT excep
tional alae, the financial difficulties of a
prominent dry goods house, with Its va
rious affiliations, alone accounting for
more than one-tenth ef the total amount
Involved. In regard to the numerical In
crease, this In a measure wss traceable
to Ihe effects of the European war. which
accentuated the depression In trade and
Industry and exerted a particularly un
favorable Influence on conditiona In the
south because of tho consequent collapse
of cotton.

Losses were materially swelled by this
event and more reverses occurred In the
last three months than In any other
quarter of the year, while the best ex
hibit In point of number waa made In

more new enterprises are constantly be
