OUR LINCOLN LETTER
Pullman Car AMMnent IUUmmI 13
Per Cent Lincoln Republican
Wonder How Nut (on Did It
Lincoln. Nebr.. May 18 By F. C.
Ayres and II. L. Cooper, state house
The state board of assessments
met the fore part of the week, and In
addition to other busineHB rained the
valuation of Pullman rars 15 per
cent. A year ago this board, which
comprises Governor Morehead, State
Auditor Win. II. Smith. Secretary of
State Pool. State Treasurer George
E. Hall and Iand Commissioner
-Beckmann, added a 25 per cent raise
to Pullman cars and equipment, mak
lsg a 40 per cent raise in two years.
State House and Lincoln republic
ans are busy speculating these days
on Who Is Who and Why? In the
late republican gubernatorial mixup
Judge Sutton of Omaha cleaned up
the entire bunch of republican candi
dates with votes to spare. While the
Omaha candidate was running on an
eatremely dry platform he carried
the wet wards of Omaha with ease,
nd the wettest candidate on the tic
ket. Ex-mayor Miles of Hastings, re
ceived only scattering support. Mc
Kfivle ot Lincoln .who is as dry as a
powder house, and KxState Treasur
er George, w ho is unly semi-arid in
his moist propensities, are wonder
ing how the fi.xy JuJge pulled it ov
er on them. Mi. C.eorge had very
little chance anyway, but Mr. Mc
Keivie went town to Douglas county
wlih something like a 4000 plurality
an 1 was harpooned properly by the
ju Ige's county. Neither of these cen-th-tnen.
while thoroughly believing
in .he fundamental principles of teui
IM.ance as expressed In holy writ,
hive followed this teaching to a very
swat extent iti ixpressing their sen
ti ents in the matter, and intimate
e:y broadly that the astute repre
sentative of Blackatone from the me
tropolis, played both ends against the
middle, and even fooled a good many
ho should have been wiser in their
day and age.
County Treasurer Ure of Douglas
county, who was the victim of mis
guided judgment in refusing to pay
ver moneys due the state when call
ed upon to do so by the state treas
urer, has remitted $11,316.69. the
balance for the Brat quarter of 1916,
in accordance with a recent supreme
court decision, which compells him
to remit to the state monthly. How
ever, Mr. Ure neglected to add to his
remittance a little matter of $3,817.
tl with which the state has him
charged, this being Interest on funds
which be refused to pay into the
state treasury until forced to do so
by the colirt. He is said to have
eonfldentlally confided to some
friends that there would be good ice
skating in bis satanic majesty's realm
before he paid that interest. A re
sort to the courts for a decision in
the face of this declaration will like
ly be the next move on the part of
tsate officers. As courts are some-
times pretty frigid in their judiciary
actions, there is a possibility that
some sort of artificial refrigeration
may be Inaugurated to the satisfac
tion of Mr. Ure, thus Inducing him
to liquidate. The Douglas county
treasurer's reluctance to pay this
sum is undaubtedly superinduced by
the fact that he must pay it out of
his own pocket.
A warrant was drawn by the state
auditor last week for' $7,963.94 as
the first payment on the bridge
across the Loup river at St. Paul.
The bridge will cost about $28,000.
Howard county pays half of the cost
and the state the remaining half.
The state board of Irrigation, high
ways and drainage, have a number
of bridges either practically finished
or in course of construction, besides
several for which plans have been
drawn, but no contracts let. The
more important are: The Lexington
bridge which was finished during the
winter and accepted, will cost about
$35,000; a new concrete or steel
bridge will be built across the Platte
at Kearney, contract to be let May
23, cost estimated at about $65,000;
the North Platte bridge was recent
ly completed at a cost of about $30,
000; the Superior bridge across the
Kepubllcan river is completed, but
has not yet been accepted by the
Mate engineer; the Overton bridge
at u com of $15,000 is Hearing com
pletion: the contract for the Gretna
bridge a croup '.le Klkhorn has been
let, but work of construction not yet
beuun, cost about $18,000. Another
bridge at Pan-hull crossing on the
Niobrara near the town of Butte, to
eo: t about $25,000 is also contem
plated. The above are some of the
more important structures either
completed lately or to be construct
ed this summer. The state pays half
of the cost of these bridges.

Harmless to flash. Kidneys sod neutral
1m irritating acids Splendid
for system.
Kidney and Bladder weakness result
from urie acid, says a noted authority.
The kidneys filter this acid from the
blood and pass it on to the bladder, where
it often remains to irritate and inflame,
causing a burning, scalding sensation, or
setting up an irritation at the neck of
the bladder, obliging you to seek relief
two or three times during the night.
The sufferer is in constant dread, the
water passes sometimes with a scalding
sensation and is very profuse; agnin,
there is difficulty in avoiding it
Bladder weaknes, most folks call it,
because they can't control urination.
While it is extremely annoying and some
times very painful, this is really one of
the most simple ailments to overcome.
Get about four ounces of Jad Salts
from your pharmacist and take a table
soonful in a glass of water before
breakfast, continue this for two or three
days. This will neutralize the acids in
the urine so it no longer is a source of
irritation to the bladder and urinary or
gans which then act normally again.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless,
and is made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithis, and
ia used by thousands of folks who are
subject to urinary disorders caused by
urie acid irritation. Jad SalU is splen

effects whatever.
Here you have a pleasant, effervescent

The Employes' Side
IIK1MJ A FKW OF T1IK CONTENTIONS OF THE RAILWAY
KMriXYKS' ORGANIZATIONS IN ItKUAHD TO THE RKQUKST
FOIl THE KKHIT-HOl'lt DAY; MANY I JOINTS OF INTEREST
ANI FACTS NOT GKNKHALLY KNOWN TO THE PUBLIC.
THE DEMAND APPLIES TO FKKKiHT SERVICE ONLY
A statement has been frequently made by the railroads that the pres-
demands of the rnllwnv train lorvlro on. rvUvo. -., .
l oht-hnn r 1nu K.. - I . 1 I .
v Ir-..i ..v.u. uo,, Km Bir nuenueu 10 secure increased wages.
This Is not true, as the employes composing the four brotherhoods
want shorter hours. They want their working day to be as near eight hours
fcs it can be made.
To any reasonable person it will be apparent that it will be useless to
secure an eight-hour day unless there is some penalty attached for over
time In all the trades where the eight-hour day obtains, there is an ex
tra charge for overtime; otherwise, there would be no eight-hour day, the
wotk would go on at the same rale per hour Just as long as the employer
cared to work the men.
It has been emply demonstrated that eight hours' hard work is enough
fc r any man and any hours he works more than right, simply drawing on
bis reserve energy and vitality, shortening his life and bis available working
years. It has also been proven that a man working eight hours is more ef
ficient, does better work, and is in every way a better citizen than a man
working longer hours.
The railroad train service employes, in asking the railroad companies
ror an eight-hour day, also ask for time and one-half for overtime, but this
extra rate is merely a "penalty" upon the railways and Is considered an ef
fective method for preventing overtime. "Overtime" is commonly called
blood money", and saps the very life out of the employes. We trust that
the public will consider the fact that it is the "overtime" and exposure that
is v. earing out" the employes and prompts many employers to set their
employes- age limit at 21 to 35. In other vocations a man can work at least
cO years note the difference to railway work. Considered in this way the
raiUay employes could, In exact Justice, ask for twice their present rate of
pay, but the employes are not seeking the enormous Increase," but desire
better living conditions.
The physical and mental strain on train service employes, compelled to
work long hours ,is beyond comprehension by the average mind. Virtually
all the accident and old-line insurance companies classify railroading as ex
tra hazardous, many of them retusing to insure railway employes on account
of the great risk of loss, and where these employes are injured, there is a
dennite limit et on the amount of the risk, and an extra charge Is made to
tl'.e insured.
In reality, the railway employe receives a less hourly rate of compen
sation than almost any other trade. A hod carrier receives $4 50 for eight
hours or about f.fi cents an hour. The highest paid train conductor re
ceives Lo cents an hour. If the hod carrier worked as manv hours as the
railway conductor he would draw a larger salary and could then be named
by the railways as the "aristocrat of the labor world "
If the railways complain that "time and a half" means In some instanc
es an increase, let them avoid the increase by avoiding the overtime, for
that is the desire and purpose of the employes.
. Th,Ara".W?i'B C,aim there H8 an lnr wages to the men, of be
tween 30 and 42 per cent from 1903 to 1914. This is partly true, but the
price of living and the additional work required of the employes has more
than offset it. Also, the said wage increase came mostly to the employes
having regular assignments and established hours for service, but the great
nnirf imXl 0J8, work ,n the ""eutar freight service and are
flowed to work the day if sufficient freight shipments come to hand, but
who lose the day s work If the business does not come these ' irregular
freight service employes gained almost nothing, but were crowded back
to an hourly compensation, instead of mileage basis, bv excessively lone
trains; or. in other words, the railways, to recover the 1903 to 1914 wage
increase gave each of their irregular freight crews two trains to handle in
stead of one and this not only deprived other crews of a train and their
day s work, but kept the "double train" dragging along the railway until it
has. in many places, become the practice of the railways to work the em
ploye the 16 hours and merely allow them the eight hours' rest anywhere.
