EXPRESS TAXES BIG
Nebraska F-xpress Companies Will
Tay in $22,581.88 in Taxc.
for Present Year
(By Herald Correspondents)
Lincoln, Nobr. O. E. Bernecker,
aer.retary of the Btate board of equal
isation, reports that the tax received
from the express companies doing
business in Nebraska this year will
amount to 122,581.88. The law un
der which this tax was created is
known as Section 7477 of the Revis
ed Statutes of Nebraska, and was
passed by the 1913 legislature. Win.
II. Smith, present Btate auditor, who
was a member of the state senate in
1913, is the author or the bill. The
law requires that two per cent of the
gross earnings of the express com
panies be paid into the state general
fund as a tax. In 1914, the first
year of the operation of this law, the
express companies doing business in
the state, via: Wells Fargo, Adams j
and American, paid into the state I
treasury $19,880.92. In 191f the!
three companies paid $20,74 5.52.!
Before the Smith law was passed,'
the system of taxation was distrlbut-'
ed over about eighty counties of the
state, the sums collected were small
an I In ninny cases difficult to rolWt
It to't neatly a much to pet the
:i mounts Into (lie state treasury as
"iiiiio of them were worth. Cndcr
the present law the tax Is paid In
from the head olllccs, nnd tin trouble
or expense Is experienced by the
state In Its collection. It Is conced
ed to be one of the best tux laws on
the statute books of Nebraska.
A recent presidential poll of the
labor vote in thirty-one stutes. ex
tending from enact to coast, was
tniule by the Literary invest, ami the
results published In Its Issue of Oc
tober 7. The poll shows the elector
ll vote as follows:
Wilson, democrat, 332: Benson,
socialist. 47; Hughes, republican,
13; Scattering. 34.
Keduced to percentages, 1'resldent
Wilson received 72 per cent. Mr.
Benson 11 per rent, and Mr. Hughes
9 per cent.
The third quarterly report of state
expenditure for 191fi has Just been
Issued by State Auditor Win. 11.
Smith. The quarter comprises the
months of July, August ami Septem
ber, and the report shows thnt n to
tal of $1,557,380.40 was expended
during the period, as against $1,032
158.12 the previous quarter. Tho
last report, however, shows that
$438,778.87 of the above amount
was school apportionment. The state
university expended $424,573.24 for
building nnd maintenance. The fif
teen institutions of the state under
the board of commissioners. Includ
ing the board, used $320,322.75. The
balance of $373,705.54 is for gener
al state government purposes, but In
cludes $57,400 for Normal training
In the high schools, and $66,839.68
for the expenses of the four Normal
schoolB. The total amount expend
ed for educational purposes for the
last quarter was $987,591.77, or a
trifle over two-thirds of the total
state expenditures.
According to a report compiled In
the treasurer's office by 8tate Treas
urer O. E. Hall, from December 31,
1896, to March 31, 1915, the state
paid out over one million dollars In
Interest as a result of registering
state warrants. In some blennlums
of this period of years thTs interest
sum ran up as high as $200,000. In
the years 1913-14, the state paid
something like $47,000 interest.
When Treasurer Hall took charge of
the office on the morning of January
8, 1916, he was confronted with the
problem of stopping this waste of
the people's money, and In five days
after taking charge of his office gave
orders to discontinue registering
warrants. In the meantime he Is
sued his famous decree to county
treasurers that tax payments muat
be made monthly Instead of semi
annually as had been the custom of
the past. It took a supreme court
decree to finally bring some of the
county treasurers to an accounting",
but In the action Treasurer Hall has
saved the tax payers many thousands
of dollars. No warrants will be reg
istered under Mr. Hall's administration.

I'nul Milled from Ciicsnrca August,
A. I. r! (Unnwy), n few tlnyn nftor
M mlilrexK before AKrlpu. Ih
renclietl Malta nbmit November 15.
I'nul knew how to meet inolm,
I "t none of hln adventures are more
ntstandliiK than tho one we are
sttnl.vlnp today. Luke, his physician,
was a companion, and the historian,
-WcphuN, HtatcN that on hoard th
Mp there were more than 000 people
tiuvelliiR with I'nul. I'nul wan n mnn
of distinction, a llotunn citizen. He
lad his own hired house In Home.
Arlstnrehus may possibly have been
his servant to furnish comfort for
tht Journey. Itanisey believes I'nul
had received hereditary property, thu
making Mm a Homnn rttlr.cn of rauk,
of learning and of standing finan
cially. I. Fair Weather and Contrary Winds
(vv. 1-12). Sldon was about 70
miles north of Caesnrea on the coast
of I'ulestlne. Here Paul received lib
erty to go ashore and visit his Chris
tian friends. Myra la Id Asia Minor.
It requires 14 days to reach this point
from Sldon, a distance of about 400
miles. Here, Instead of going up the
Aegean sea route, often used In going
to Home, the centurion found a grain
ship hound from Alexandria to Italy,
and put his prisoners on board. Sep
tember 1 they started for Italy. The
direct course would have been west
whrd, but the wind was contrary, and
the progress was slow. On the 23d
they were opposite Cnldus, the south
west point of Asia Minor, 130 miles
from Myra. September 25 they
entered the harbor of Fair Haven,
nrar the middle of the south shore
of the Island of Crete. The fast day,
October fi, the day of the great atone
ment, wns observed In this place. Tho
question of nolng farther wns a de
batable one, yet the commander per
sisted, nnd about the 10th of October
they sailed for Fair Haven.
II. The Hurricane (vv. 13-20). Tak
ing advantage of n gentle wind they
I tit out of Fair Haven, and almost
Immediately encountered the hurri
cane. It wns perhaps hard for Paul
ilurlnK those 14 days to discern the
wise, gentle hand of (iod. ( Jonuh
1-4). God's most faithful servants do
not nlways find smooth sailing. (I'lill.
4:0. 7; Isaiah 20:3; John 10:33), but
they may. no matter how fiercely tem
pest tossed, know that Clod has not
ceased to look upon them with favor.
Sometimes the best thing for us to
do, when thus tempest tossed. Is "to
lighten the ship" (v. 18).
III. The Message of Cheer: "I Be
lieve God" (w. i-2ti). Neither sun
nor stars having shone for tunny days,
nr.d all hrpe that any should be saved
seemingly taken away, yet Clod Is nMe
to stive In the darkness as well as In
the sunshine. In the tempest as well
as in the calm, and there was in lint
brat one mnu at least whose hope was
not gone, for God had said to him,
"Thou must bear witness at Home
lilho" (23:11). I'll ill's message of
cheer In the midst of this despulr and
after they had been so long wltlu til
food. Immediately stumped him us u
lender of wisdom nnd power.
I'll ill could make this promise he
cause "un angel of (jod whose I am
n nd whom I serve" had come to him
nnd assured him that God would re
deem the promise made, two years be
fore. This Implies that I'nul had given
himself to prayer. Observe how one
godly man can save many ungodly
men (Gen. 18:22-33). God's vision
enme to I'nul, but I'nul used It for the
comfort nnd cheer of the whole ship's
company (II Cor. 1-4). A modern il
lustration of a (drnlliir experience was
thnt of Mr. Moody und Geueral How
ard, returning from Kun.pe on the
Mcnm.shtp Spree in is;r'.
General Howard relates that Mr.
Moody did a great deal to cheer the
passengers, by both his words and hi
nctiuns, during those days of stress
nnd storm. The darker and stormier
the night, the more likely ure the
lintel of God to appear If we ure in
d.ed his (v. 23: Cf. Ch. 18:0-23:11).
Sometimes these angels stand beside
us and we do not see them, we ure
taken up with the darkness and the
howling of the storm. It Is a greut
thing to be able to look up to the In
finite God and say, "I am his." To
make this stutement Intelligently, uud
with a deep realization of Its meaning
will give significance and solemnity to
ull.
IV. Paul, the Life Saver (vv. 27-37).
I'uul did not stop with simply saying
that God was his, but went on to suy,
"Whom also I serve." Many say they
are God's but do not prove it by their
lives of service. Paul loved to think
and speak of himself as the servant of
God (Horn. 1:0; II Tim. 1:3; Titus
1:1). Some of the sailors thought to
launch the boat, leaving the passengers
to their fae.
Ail the hurricanes that ever struck
the sea or the ships of the sea couM
not prevent the fulfillment of Gods
promises, and Paul fully accented the
tflgnlncuuce of God's word "fear not."

SAYS HOT WATER
WASHES POISONS
FROM THE LIVER
Everyone should drink hot water
with phosphate in It,
before breakfast.
To feel as fine as the proverbial
fiddle, we must keep the liver washed
clean, almost every morning, to pre
vent its sponge-like pores from clog
tng with indigestible material, sour
bile and poIboiiouh toxins, says a noted?
physician. If you get headaches, It's your liver.
If you catch cold easily, it's your liver.
If you wake up with a bad taste, furred
tongue, nasty breath or stomach be
comes rancid. It's your liver. Sallow1
skin, muddy complexion, watery eye
all denote liver uncloanllncss. Your
liver Is the most important, also the
must abutted and neglected organ of
the body. Few know Its function or
how to release the dammed-up body
waste, bile and toxins. Most folk
resort to violent calomel, which Is
dangerous, salivating chemical which
can. only be used occasionally because
it accumulates In the tissues, also
attacks the bones.
Every man and woman, sick of
well, should drink each morning be
fore breakfast, a glass of hot water
with a tcaspoonful of limestoue phos
phate in It, to wah from the liver and
bowels the previous day's Indigestible
material, the poisons, sour bile ana
toxins; thus cleansing, sweetenlnaT
and freshening the entire alimentary
canal before putting more food lfit
the stomach.
Limestone phosphate does not re
strict the diet like calomel, because It
can not salivate, for It U harmless anI
you can eat anything afterwards. If
Is inexpensive and almost tasteless, and
any pharmacist will sell you a quarter
pound, which Is sufficient for a dem
onstration of bow hot water and Urn',
stone phosphate deans, stimulates .
freshens the liver, keeping you feellneT '
Qt day In and day out.
