NUMBERS BOUGHT IN EAST NOW Handicraft Plant, Recently Taken Over by State, Will Not Furnish Employment for All. Lincoln. C. W. Pool, secretary of state, has submitted to the board of control a -plan for the establishment of a now Industry at tho penitentiary. He is of the opinion that tho state could mnko a big profit manufacturing automobile numbers. At present tho numbers are purchased from an east ern firm at 8V cents each. This year, the first under tho new registration law, Mr. Pool will buy about 50,000 numbers. Next year about 70,000, ex clusive of motorcycle numbers, will be needed, inasmuch as this year many s-ecured numbers under tho old law before the new went Into effect. Tho Industry will not conflict with any private enterprise within the state. Moreover, It would not require extensive machinery. About all that would bo needed would he machines to stamp nuirbers on the steel plates. Stamping and painting In two colors would be about all there would.be to It. tT"i'er the new law a new set of numbers Is required each year. The bonru lias the idea under considera tion. The handicraft furniture plant at the penitentiary was recently tak en over by the state, but that will not furnish employment to all the pri soners.

Four of the seven judges or the Ne braska supreme court united in a de cision denying Nebraska railroads the writ of mandamus sought by them to compel tho state railway commission to grant them an In crease In passenger rates to 2V cuts. The suit was brought for all tho roads by tho Missouri Pacific, which was selected, Inasmuch as its traflic conditions made tho best show ing for the necessity of an Increase. Tho on so In the supremo court was an appeal from the railway commis sion, which had turned down tho roads on tho cry that, in view of tho specific enactment of tho 1907 legis lature for a 2-cent fare. It had no power to grant an increase. Chief Justice Morrissey, Judges Fawcett, Hamer and Rose sustain this view, holding that only the leg islature can change this enactment. The minority, Judges Barnes, Lot ton and Sedgwick, in the dissenting opinion, hold the view that the 1907 2-cent faro law was only a temporary order, and subject to change later at tho hands of tho commission. It is the first case In which tho su preme court has directly passed upon tho ratemaklng powers of tho com mission. The limitation imposed is of far-reaching importance. Idaho to Pay Its Bonds. Nebraska is liable to have money on Its hands In considerable quanti ties about July 1, according to State Treasurer Hall. Ho has received no tice that tho state of Idaho, which borrowed $703,500 on a twenty-year bond with an option of paying all or part at tho expiration of ten yenrs, will exercise that option on July 1, and will take up a portion of tho bonds amounting to $330,000.

Although he Is the one neutral member of tho board, which without him is evenly split Into two factions, IiIh election was something of an accident. Fifty Per Cent Less Cholera. As the simultaneous treatment for hog cholera has been very largely used In Nebraska during the past two years, the Department of Animal Pa thology at the University Farm thinks It Is fair to assume that a part of tho lessened cholera this year is due to this method. The first six months of 1915 finds the state with 50 per cent less cholera than a year ago, accord ing to the department.
