MISSOURI THE CHIEF
OF NEBRASKA WATERS
IN PILFERING LANDS
Four Rivers Eat Up 1,000 Acres
of State School
Lands.
Lincoln, Neb., Juno S.—A recent
checking up, through the office of the.
state purveyor, discloses the Interest
ing and important fact that four river*
1 in Nebraska have eaten up nearly
1,000 acres of lands belonging to the
state school fund.
The Missouri river is, as usual, the
chief offender. It has swallowed up
751 acres. In Burt county, exactly
one quarter section has dropped off
Into the water. In Cass county, 337
acres have been lost; in Dixon, 54
acres; in Nemaha, 123 acres, and In
Washington, 77 acres.
The Platte river comes next, with
153 acres to Its discredit. Seventy
three of these were lost in Keith coun
ty, and 83 in Lincoln. The Loup rive»
made away with nine acres in Howard
county and 16 in Valley, while tho Re
publican river was content with the
modest allowance of 17 acre3 in Web
ster county.
These losses, however, are not like
iy to create even a temporary feeling
of embarrasment to the school fund
At present it consists of $8,863,896
worth of bonds and securities. Of tha
original allotment, made in the early
history of the state, of 3,000,000 acres,
nearly 2,000,000 remain the property
of the fund. The state no longer sells
any of this land, but rents it on long
time leases. It now has 1,700,000 acres
under lease, 232,977 acres are under
contracts of sale, while deeds have
been executed to 860,502 acres. Dur
ing the last biennium, $335,385 was
received as rentals; $283,578 as inter
est on sale contracts and $610,108 on
sale contracts. There was also earned
$556,080 as interest on bonds and war
rents. The interest on permanent
school funds and on a balance due on
lands sold, together with rentals and
fees, forms a temporary school fund,
which is apportioned twice a year to
the different counties of the state for
the support of the public schools, on
the basis of number of pupils in each
district.
.S THE FEDERAL JUDICIARY
INVADING STATE’S RIGHTS?
Lincoln, Neb., June 8.—Questioning
the wisdom of the federal governmenl
in interferring in the control by states
of public service corporations, Gover
nor Aldrich has suggested that a paper
on this subject be read at the annual
meeting of'the governors to be held
at Springs Lake, N. J., September 12,
next. If he finds the time and is
asked to do so, he has volunteered to
write such a paper himself.
The governor resents the encroach
ment of the federal courts upon what
he believes to be intra-state affairs,
and expresses fear that the federal
| court of appeals will declare uncon
stitutional the freight" and passenger
laws which he assisted in enacting Iq
j 1907.
DISCRIMINATION IS
A GROSS INIQUITY
Willis M. Reed Declares the
Tariff on Pulp and Paper
Altogether Wrong.
■■ ...- ■
Omaha, June 8.—At. tho morning
session of the Nebraska Editorial associa

! other things, said :
“That yours is a business meeting coVer
1 ing a wide range of topics and* al* of inor©

evident from a cursory examination of
your program.
“I therefore suggest that the more im
portant federal discriminations against
you, such as leaving a tariff on paper and
wood pulp, should be wholly and com
pletely removed, and permiti-ccl to enter A
free of duty. Irrespective of .Its weight, *•
and no good or reasonable excuse can be,
pr ever has been urged against so doing.
“This discrimination is as unwarranted
as it is unjust and unnecessary/’
