Saving to the People.
Rv reason of the nctB nassed by the

terminating in Nebraska, more than
$2,600,000 In one year; on the two-cent
passenger fare bill the savings to tho
people of tho state is estimated by the
railway commission to bo more than
$3,000,000 a year; the twenty-five per
cent reduction in express rates, it is
estimated by the railway commission,
has saved to tho people of tho state, in
one year, more than $400,000.

Union Pacific Gilt Edged
Notwithstanding two cent fare laws
ower freight rates and interstate com
merce commission meddling with rail
roads in the west the Union Pacific
still holds a high placo on the New
York stock market and is sought by
investors because of its dividend earn
ing capacity. The Now York Journal
of Commorciel, a paper dealing with
commerciel news exclusively, has this
to say ot the union racillc, the com
parisons being made with August one
year ago: "Union I'acihc s gross dur-
ing ivuguBt leiiou oniyi.uuu per oiem,
whereas operating expenses for the
month were reduced by the huge total
of $750,000. There was of course tho
now customary increase in taxes, yet
tho net revenue showed nn increase of
$081,000 a truly remarkable achieve
ment.
Those Schopl Bonds.
"You can say to your readers." re
marked Secretary Tramp of the board
of education yesterday, "that tho
proposition to vote bonds for now
school houses in the Second and Third
wards will be submitted to tho voters
of tho district the lattor part of No
vember." One reason for the delay in
submitting tho proposition is that tho
committee has been looking up.tho
matter of the disposition of tho bonds
when voted; whether a four per cent
bond could be sold at par or at a
premium. It was also thought best to
wait until after the general election so
as to know whether tho amendment to
tho state constitution permitting tho
state to purchase school district bonds
is adopted, in which case four per cent
bonds could no doubt be easily sold to
the state at par or perhaps at a premium.
By holding the election next month
there will bo ample time to have tho
bonds registered and sold, tho contract
let and the buildings erected before tho
opening of school in tho fall of next
year.
We believe that tho people of tho dis
trict concede the need of additional
school accommodations and that tho
bonds will carry almost unanimously.
Can We Keep From Having Fires?
We think wo are careful, and some
times wo are, but neverless a fire will
break out once and awhile when we
least expect it.
You can't prevent fires, but you can
insure against them so when you have
one tho insurance company stands tho
loss, not you.
In order to accomplish this you must
insure with reliable agents and com
panies. Temple Real Estato & Insur
ance Agency represents tho boat. 1
