GAVE TWENTY-FIVE HONOREC His Railroad Will Make an Extensive Exhibit. From Counties All Along the Line. St. Paul, Minn. James J. Hill gave $2,500 in gold to be awarded as prizes for small grains and grasses at tht National Corn exposition to be held In Omaha next December. 'Omaha has started something which deserves our support and we gladly contribute to the premium list, not only to Intensify interest in sma grains, but we want to offer some prizes for corn from the northern states, even Washington, where som people do not believe corn will grow," said Mr. Hill, as he increased the con tribution, which he at first contem plated and offered substantial cash prizes for northern com, peas and epelz. The announcement that James J Hill had become greatly Interested Ir. the National Corn exposition, followed a conference between James J. and L W. Hill, with T. F. Sturgess, general manager of the corn show and Will A. Campbell of the Commercial club ol Omaha, who has charge of the pub licity for tho National Corn exposition. Both the chairman of the board and president of Great Northern met the Omniums by appointment at 11 o'clock Tuesday and spent three hours work ing out a plan by which the great rail road builder and his son, could do the most effective work In behalf of the corn show und the great movement II represents.

Hill also ac cepted an Invitation to go to Omaha In December and address the visitors at the corn show, saying: "You may put me on that program, no one knows where I will be, but I will go to Omaha If it be possible and make an effort to so arrange things that I can be with you." This promise to attend the National Corn exposition is an unusual one Mr. Hill has gone out of the public speaking business, according to L. W Hill, and is compelled to decline three ar four invitations to address meetings every day. His interest in the corn show movement, improvement of grains, retaining and restoring the fer tlllty of the soil, together with his kindly feeling toward Omaha, are the arguments which appeal to him, and he accepted the invitation to go on the program and call a spade a spade Instead of an "agricultural imple ment," which he says he will do when he conies to Omaha. In addition to the snug sum of gold given by Mr. Hill, the Great Northern rnllroad contracted for space at the exposition, where an exhibit will be made, showing the agricultural re sources of the empire through which the Great Northern railroad passes It will cost $3,000. An agreement was also made whereby the Hill road will route baggage cars from northwestern points to bring the exhibits of farm ers to Omaha free of cost, which is permitted under the Interstate coin cerce law.

INTERESTED AUTO 1 OG RAGE CO FAR "MAN'S BEST FRIEND" IS IN THE LEAD. 'MI ASSESSOR ROLLS SHOW One County Comes to the Front With Seventeen Automobiles, Offsetting Same With Seventeen Dogs. The state capital correspondent of the Omaha Bee, who has been Inves tigating Nebraska assessment rolls, finds that the automobile may outdis tance the horse and take his place in the affection of the driving public, but It will have to go some to get ahead of the Nebraska dog. According to reports of county assessors now on file with the State Board of Assess ment the dog is much more of a fa vorite than the automobile, save in one county. In old Pawnee the auto mobile has caught up with the dog. The people of that prosperous county own, according to their county asses sor, seventeen dogs and seventeen automobiles. In Rock county the dog and the automobile are close rivals for the affection of the people, be cause the assessor reports $80 worth of automobiles and $S.40 worth of dogs. Just how many doss $8.40 will buy In Rock county Is not known by the state board, but the assessor reports oife automobile. Douglas county people also give evidence of caring about as much for dogs as they do for automobiles, for the assessor reported 446 automobiles and 482 dogs. Lancaster county refuses to do away with "man's best friend," for there was returned 4,113 does, against 241 automobiles. Lancaster tops the ctate with Its dogs. Saline county's dogs population has increased from 2,580 to 2.C01, which makes it the second largest dog coun ty in Nebraska. Its automobiles have also Increased from eighteen to thirty. ' Thomas county reported $176 worth of automobiles and $20 worth of dogs, but Just how much this amount of money will buy of either commodity In Thomas county the board has no Idea. Morrill county, the youngest county In the state, has seven auto mobiles, but lines up with 526 dogs. Cherry county only has two automo biles, but it has 154 dogs. Colfax county has $2,615 a orth of auto mobiles and 1,314 dogs. In most of the counties the doggie Is worth $5, or rather it is valued at that by the assessor, while the auto mobile ranges from $80 to $175. Incidentally the board Is very much put out because so many assessors have neglected to follow the plain let ter of the schedules furnished them, and some of the assessors may yet be Jerked up for an explanation. Several of the officials have neglected to put in the number of animals or com modity, though the schedules provide a place for this information. Others have reduced real estate without say ing why, when real estate was valued last year for four years. Land Valus. An analysis of the returns made by the county assessors to the State Board of Assessment shows that sev eral assessors have returned the value of lands this year less than last year. Just how this can be the board Is un able to figure. Land is assessed only once in every four years and each year the Improvements made thereon is assessed. Every county, therefore, should show an Increased value of lands. As far as reported the de creases are as follows: Boone, $10,000; Dawes, $6,000; Greeley, $10,000; Hook er, $6,000; Lancaster. $34,000; Ixigan, $1,000; Merrick. $.1,000. Furnas coun ty lands Increased Just $1, while Knox county lands were returned nt exactly the same valuation as last year. Premium Statute Void. Judge Stewart of the district court held null and void the statute which prohibited the placing of premiums in food packages. J. R. Burleigh, a merchant of Lincoln, was arrested for selling food packages in which there was a slip which entitled the buyer to a book. The court held such a statute was unconstitutional and the merchant was discharged. Will Not Be a Candidate. Judge John M. Ragan, In whore name was started the suit which de feated the nonpartisan election law, said he decided not to be a candidate for supreme Judge because he was advised that his health might be Im periled by the confining work which would be his portion If elected. Concessions at thr Fair. Secretary Mellor of the state board of agriculture has up to date received more from concessions nt the state fair than has ever been received up to this date. This indicates a pro? perous year for tne fair, although it Is to be held this year lor the first time in a "dry" town. Butter and Egg Crops. Creamery managers state that the butter production of Nebraska is still below the normal and that the coun try's supply Is no more than enough to meet the demand. The last state ment of the associated warehouses, an organization covering the principal cities of the east, showed that on July 1, the amount of butter In stor age was 8.000,000 pounds less than a year ago. The same source of informa tion revealed an egg shortage of ", 000 cases, as compared with a year ago THE GUARANTY LAW. Counsel for State Argue That It Should Ckind. Copies of the brief prepared by C. O. Whedon in defense of the guaran ty banking law enacted by the late legislature have been filed in the fed eral court In resistance to the appli cation for a permanent Injunction to prevent the law becoming effective. .fter a lengthy discussion of the police powers of the state, Mr. Whe don arrived at the following conclu sion: 1. That no case decided by the su preme court of the United States, and no principle of law enunciated by that court, sustains the contention that the Nebraska statute of 1909 deprives the plaintiffs or any of them, of rights guaranteed under the constitution of the United States. 2. That the r,tnte may, In tho legiti mate exercise of its legislative, or po lice power, prohibit individuals not Incorporated from engaging In the banking business, within Its jurisdic tion, and that it Infringes no legal right by uo doing. 3. That r.s the legislative art fa question onerntca upon all Indlvidi nls alike, ami dons not prohibit them from engaging in the banking busi ness, but merely prescribes the terms and conditiors upon which they may engage in that business, it Is valid. 4. That the right of tho state to enact such legislation is sustained, not only by the supremo court of Lie United States, but by the clear and undoubted weight of authority by the courts of last resort of the states, the one case from South Dakota being the only one which counsel for plain tiffs have been able to find to the con trary. In discussing the guaranty section of the law, the brief said: It is said that the effect of this law is to take the money of one bank to pay the debts of another bank. Let It be supposed that there are In one county of the state five individuals who are incapacitated by reason of age from earning a living and are de pendent upon the public for support. Ori cinally each possessed $5,000. Let it be further supposed that In the same county were five banks. In one of which these Individuals deposited the $5,000 possessed by each. The bank holding the deposits of these In dividuals failed and the entire depos its were lost, and as a consequence these depositors became public charges. Could any of the other four banks in the county which did not fail successfully resist the levy or col lection of the poor fund tax, the pur pose of which was to support these five individuals? I think not. And yet thin would be taking the property of til sclvent banks to pay the result of the loss of the solvent one. In conclusion the brief sets up: First: That the statute, the const! tntlonality of which Is here ques tioned, does not deprive the unincor porated plaintiffs of any rights guar anteed to them by the constitution of the United States, or the constitution of the state of Nebraska. Second: That all banks in this state, whether Incorporated or pri vate, may be required to comply with the guaranty features of the law. Third: That the state may, in the exercise of Its power of sovereignty, confine all of the banking business of the sta'c to corporations. Fourth: That the Incorporated plaintiffs have, and can have, no con tract with the state which prevents the legislature from placing addi tional duties and requirements upon them, even to the extent of requiring them to net asldo a per cent of their deposits for the purpose of securing depositors. Fifth: That the act ia cons'itu tlonal ns a whole, but if unconrtitu tional ns to paying rewards out of the guaranty fund, or in any of its provisions, those provisions are sep arable, and the other portionp of the act are valid. Sixth: That the temporary injunc tion heretofore granted should be dlR Fohed. the demurrer sustained, ami the bill dismissed. j Makes for Saving Wheat. One reason why farmers this year seem more desirous than usual to thresh and sell their wheat Immedi ately Is declared by grain men to he the fear that If it Is stacked the ber ries will shell out upon the ground. Rainy weather delayed cutting the wheat over a large section of the state, and It was ripened beyond the proper point when harvested. Wher ever thlci condition exists, some of the grain Is likely to be lost with each handling. The farmers, therefore, think It to their advantage to thresh from the shock ond haul at once to the elevator. Makes a Great Record A. H. Wr.ltcr, a Kenrney dealer In motorcycle!, demonstrated the pos sibilities of a machine when he start ed from that city on n two-cylinder motorcycle and raced Union Pacific train No. 2, one of the fastest trnins on that great road.' Walter started the same time the train did and went west following the road and got to' fhelton. a distance of nineteen mllc3, I efore the trnln. High Freight Rates. According to O. R. Thompson, state senator from the Seventh district tho Northwestern Railway company has n clever way of extorting high freight rates. In a complaint filed ith the state railway commission he sserts that the railway men charge for sheep weights far above the abll 'ty of the shippers to crowd the anl nals Into the cars. As a result, the hlppers are compelled to pay a much tigher freight rate. The matter will &e brought before the railway com mission for early adjustment NEBRA5AK III BRIEF NEWO NOTES OF INTEREST FROM VARIOUS SECTIONS.
