LINCOLN. Oct. .-(Speclal.) That he
eould find no legal way to pay money to
commbaloners of the atat. which had
not been specifically appropriated by the
legislature, waa the declaration of State
Treasurer George E. Hall, speaking at
the East Lincoln league.
He said he believed It was a mistake
for the legislature to appropriate money
from the fees of a department, and then
turn the head of the department loose to
help himself.
His method of collecting monthly state
funds from county treasurers, he, says,
wilt save the state $70,000 annually.
. Addison E. Sheldon, director of the
Nebraska Legislative Reference bureau,
declared at the some meeting that unless
the rate of interest dropped agricultural
lands would be depopulated, since Indus
trie now offered a bigger Inducement
than the farm. The farms, he said, were
now twice aa large a five year ago.
Big mortgage holders are getting the
property through foreclosure from small
owners.

Rail Commissioner
Hall Finds Backing
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Oct. 8. (Special Telegram.)
Railway Commissioner Tom Hall has
found a substantiation of his stand sev
eral months ago to the effect that the
Nebraska Railway commission had
Jurisdiction over Jitney lines.
Commissioner Hall has Just discovered
a holding of the railway commission of
West Virginia wherein Jitney busses are
classed as common carriers, and the
amendment to the Nebraska constitution
puts the railway commission in charge of
all common carriers of the state.
That Jitney lines running helter-skelter
about such a city as Omaha endanger
ing traffic and lives of persons, and
splitting fares In competition with car
lines, are In need of regulation Is the
opinion of Mr. Hall. He declares, how.
ever, that Jitney busses cost at least T
cents a mile to operate In the long run,
and that the days of the Jitney, therefore,
are numbered, with the present 6-ccnt
fare.
