Homo Job from the Force
The Herald force has handed "ye
editor" of this column some Job dur
ing the coming session of the state
legislature. Christmas morning we
were confronted by the entire force
In a body and handled a fine Water
man fountain pen, around which
was wrapped the following Inscrip
tion: "To our boss and friend, Lloyd.
Compliments of The Herald force.
May your eloquence flow from your
lips at the coming session of the leg
islature as readily as we hope It to
flow from this pen, which you will
uso to pen your name to the scroll of
fame within the next three moTiths."
It Is needles! to say that we appreci

quence from pen and lips that Is

Though ne'er forgot thru the long,

Yes, the village was there, but not

Down at the foot of the hill:
For gone was the hill, and the forge
was gone.
Gone Its old neighbor the mill.

For alas, and alas, no trace remain

Just then he awoke 'twould seem
At his home afar, toward the Betting

Rochester, Minn., and concerning his
condition wrote a letter to Dr. Barr,
under date of Dec. 11, aB follows:
"Dear Doctor: I arrived here
Thursday night and got busy the fol

through the hands of four doctors
and they have decided
"That my exhaust is entlrely too
far fro.n my intake.
"That my valve stem is badly
worn.
"That I need new piston rings as
my compression la poor.
."That my manifold Is too small
for the size of-iny clylnder, which
causes lack of power.
"That my mulner is nil clogged
with soot, but that can be easily rem
edied by readjusting my curburetor
and giving me a good dose of castor
oil. Tills was caused 'by using too
rich a mixture. ,

Lincoln, Nebr., Jan. 3 Prepara
tions were completed for the recep
tion of the legislative members. The
Impromptu engineering effect of the
representative hall has the appear
ance of a subterranean tunnel, with
its network of beams and cross bars
extending from the floor to the ceil
ing. But it is safe and sane as the
democratic administration, and that
is saying a lot.
According to a report filed by the
state auditor to be a part of the bi
ennial report for 1915-16, the bond
ed indebtedness of the state, com
prising county, precinct, city and vil
lage, school district, and drainage
and irrigation bonds, amount to $42-
154,198.07. Of this sum Douglas
county has more than half of the to
tal, or 122.596,631.24. Some of
these bonds draw 4 per cent, a good
share 5 per cent, while not a few
draw as much as 6 per cent annual
interest. At an average of -5 per
cent, which is conservative, the an
nual interest on this bonded indebt
edness amounts to $2,107,709.90.
This mm Is equal to practically two
thirds of the amount of revenue de
rived from the annual taxation for
state purposes. The state govern
ment Itself has no bonded indebted
ness, and as stated above, thi.De bond
obligations are for county and dis
trict purposes.
Supt. A. O. Thomas is busy get
ting his office affairs in shape1 to turn
them over to his successor. Dr. W.
H. Clemmons, who came romping
in under the wire 1302 laps ahead
of all entries In the late political cat
aclysm. During the two years that
Dr. Thomas has filled the office of
state superintendent he has inaug
urated a nu ubt of valuable reforms
and has laid the foundation for oth
ers that will ultimately be of great
value to the educational interests of
the state.' He has been a careful,
painstaking official putting all the
energy of his splendid natural and
educational talents into the work.
Dr. Clemmons is a worthy successor,
having spent his life as an educator
In nearly every department of learn
ing, and his labors extend from the
lower grade schools to that of the
head of a large college.
In a report filed with the governor

That there will bo some changes
in departmental affairs when the leg
islature meets next month Is quite
certain. There is evidence of an al
most unanimous sentiment in favor
of the consolidation of the hotel
commission with the food, fruit and
oil department, and aa there seems
to be no one clamoring for the posi
tion which has been filled by Com
missioner Ackerman for the past
four years it is surmised that Gov
ernor-elect Neville also 4avors the ' famous
consolidation. Another consollda-i ...
tion which would meet with the ap- Collins
proval of a good many is tho print
ing commission with some other de
partment. This is being strongly
advocated not only as a matter of
economy, but efficiency as well.
However, from present indications
considerable opposition to this plan
will develop if the consolidation is
attempted. E. A. Walrath, who has
been the very efficient commissioner
for the past two years, has given no
tice that he does not want the job
any longer, and Governor-elect Ne
ville has appointed Dan Webster of
the St. Paul Phonograph to the place.
Even if the .consolidation was affect
ed some practical 'man would have
to be secured to take charge of the
work, and it is not at all likely that
Mr. Webster's appointment would be
jeopardized if such action were tak
en. On the other band if the new
governor should oppose the 'Consoli
dation it Is probable that the legis
lature would respect his wishes In
the matter.
