Secretary of State Charles W. Tool
has filed a biennial report with tbe
governor showing that In two yean
his office collected $273,666 In fees.
This Includes $212,333 for annual
permits for corporations to do bust'
ness, commonly called the corpora'
tlon tax, paid annually. Corpora'
tlons delinquent In making these an'
nual payments paid $3,016 penalty
The fees collected Include $46,676
for the filing of articles of incorpor
atlon and $780 license fees paid un
der the "loan shark" law, at the rate
of $60 a year for each license Issued.
The registration of automobile li
censes and the handling of automo
bile plate numbers Is now a large
part of the work performed by the
secretary of state. Thirty-five cents
of each automobile license fee goes
into the state treasury, the balance
being retained by the county treas
urer where the license is issued. The
secretary of state Is permitted ly law
to draw upon this fund In the state
treasury to pay all expenses of tbe
registration work and the purchase
an dsendlng out of plate numbers.
Secretary Pool has spent $68,642
in this work. His expenses include
$29,763 spent for automobile num
ber plates, $9,600 for postage and
over $8,000 for salaries and extra
help. There Is $234 on hand In the
state treasury In the automobile ex
pense fund. Mr. Pool In buying
plate numbers has bought enough to
to supply the demand for the year
1917. There are 101,000 automo
bile licenses in this state, but of that
number about 800 are numbers is
sued in duplicate to take the place of
ost plate numbers.
Mr. Pool has turned Into the state
treasury $1,802 derived from the
sale of typewritten copies of automo
bile licenses. He says nothing was
ever before turned Into the state
treasury from this source.
The accounts of the secretary of
state relative to the expenses of the
automobile department will be in
spected by a state accountant and al
bo by the legislature If tbe latter
cares to do so.
In issuing an initiative and refer
endum pamphlet to voters of the
state the secretary of tsate expenses
$4,590. He had an appropriation of
$3,000 for that purpose. This was
all expended except $286. He paid
out $2,713 for postage under the In
itiative and referendum law. The
report of the secretary does not show
where he got additional funds to
swell the 3,000 appropriation to $4-
690, but It Is Understood it was fur
nished by the state printing bureau
from its funds for state printing.

WITHOUT AN OPI1KATION
Haven na, Nebr., Nov. 21, 1916
Three years ago I suffered with a
very bad case of Piles. I was so run
town physically with this trouble
that I lost over 20 pounds in weight
ind found It very hard to attend to
my work. I was advised to see Dr.
Itlrh, pile and rupture specialist, of
Orand Island. Nebr., which I did. . I
am now glad to te-ttlfy after three
years, for Dr. Itlch's benefit and for
the benefit of others suffering as I
did who wish to be cured without an
operation, that I am cured. I have
not had a single symptom of Piles
since I was treated three years ago
and back to my normal weight and
health, In fact I feel better than ever,
other troubles having left me when
my Piles were cured. I had sulferod
with Plies for ten years, the last
three years of which time was slm
ply the Infernal for me. For the
good 1 received from Dr. Rich I am
deeply grateful and I most sin
cerely recommend his treatment to
any one who needs it. .
