PREPARING A RATE RILL
Marshall T, Harrison, Float Represssti-j
tire for Otoe and Cass Counties at
Work On One.
The Lincoln Journal, In spraklng of
tho visit of the representative-elect
from Otoe and Lavs counties to the
legislature says that gentleman Is pre
paring a rate bill, ami In an Interview
with a Journal reporter that gentle
n. an said:
"lam working on a rate bill," sahl
Mr. Harrison, "and also on a Mil deal
ing with liability of employers for per
sonal damages to employes. There Is
much to bo done this winter and the
legislature will have to fulfil its prom
Isesorgohomo In disgrace. The op
portunity has come ami the people
expect promises to be carried out.
The lobby Is one of the worst forms of
evils. Already Its Inlluencc Is being
felt. The corporations are warmliiK
up to members of the legislature with
la view to titrating themselves and
making the members feel that but for
their friendship they would not have
been elected. The Inlluenco of the
lobby Is now what may be called an
atmosphere that Is enveloping all that
gets within Its Inlluencc. I am In
favor of taking steps to keep the lobby
out of the legislative halls. The Mis
souri Idea of requiring lobbyists to
register Is not a bad plan. It might
be possible to establish .some such sys
tem and not permit the lobbyist to ap
pear before committees except by per
mission of a commission. 1 do not
know but what I shall introduce a
resolution at the opening of the ses
sion on that subject.
"As for the railroads, we do not
want to hurt any corporation. We
do not desire to be unjust, but I ho
lie vc a rate bill as well as a bill con
ferring power upon the state elective
commission ought to be passed. The
rate bill ought to bo passed as a safe
guard in case the commission should
fall.
"1 have It direct from men who have
been prominent In railroad work In
this country that If the roads could
avoid giving free transporatlon except
to bona tide employes and were com
pelled to give the same rate tc ship
pers In the same business, they would
welcome the change and be able to
greatly reduce rates. We have a
national law giving the Interstate
commerce commission power to change
rates, now we want supplemental leg
islation to apply to rates In Nebraska."

COUNTY BRIDGE BUILDING
Let the Commissioners Build Our Own
Structures md Save Money.
WAS TRIED SUCCESSFULLY ELSEWHERE
Now is the Proper Time to Tike
Matter Under Adiisement.
the
During the past year there has been
considerable "growling" anion the
farmers In different localities of Cass
county on account of bridges being out
of order, with apparently no effort on
the part of the commissioners to re
riair them. The cause for not placing
these structures In proper shape has
never been explained, unless It be
that the most of these dilapidated
bridges are located In the wrong sec
tion of the county to receive proper
tntirn. which some farmers are
WW VV fca V ------ -
read? to believe.
If the commissioners think they are
navlng too much money for this work,
let them do as other commissioners
nlate doing In the future-
build their own bridges. Several
counties have tried this proposition
with a treat saving to the taxpayers,
The Falls City Journal has been
tonkin Into the matter of bridge
building with very satisfactory re
nits. It will be remembered that at
a recent letting the supervisors of
Richardson county rejected all bids
and concluded to build their own
bridges. They have Just completed
one of these bridges and have saved
ih. Mimt nonrlv one-third of the
tost of construction. This they did
and purchased the lumber at retail at
the yards In the county. The Journal
has made an estimate of what might
have been saved last year If the
bridges had been built by the county
at a corresponding reduction and finds
that the county paid 87,270 more than
was necessary; and it seems to the
most casual observer that if Richard
son or any other county can save such
an amount of money in one year it
would be a good idea for Cass county
to try building her own bridges.
This paper Is not making a tignt
upon any bridge contractor, dui we 1
make these suggestions in the interest
of the taxpayers, with the hope that
the county commissioners will seri
ously consider the matter before let
ting any contract, and before the
early spring rains set In. We believe
It Is a matter worthy of consideration.

TEST OF SCAVENGER LAW
Suit to Determine Legality of Tax-Buying
Section Will Be Filed.
A suit to test tbe validity or several
thousands of dollars worth of tax ti
tles will be tiled In district court soon
In which the constitutionality of one
section of the scavenger tax law will
be attacked, says the Omaha Dee.
Tbe section of the law directly In
volved is the one which permits own
ers of property to buy up tbe tax cer
tificates on their property at less than
the amount of the taxes and then af
ter a lapse of eighteen months, during
which time any other person can raise
their bid for tbe certificates, have all
the back taxes cancelled on their land.
Those who attack the law contend
the law cannot give a property owner
the right to cancel taxes on his prop
erty for less than tbe face value of the
taxes. The land owners contend tbey
stand on the same footing as anybody
else and can buy the certificates on
their own property by the same meth
ods as other persons not Interested In
the land.
As a large proportion of the certifi
cates sold under the scavenger tax
law were purchased cither by own
ers or by Hen holders the suit will af
fect property estimated to be worth
several hundred thousand dollars.
The county commissioners have au
thorized the county attorn 7 to enter
Into a test suit w hich will be carried
through the district court and then
to the supreme court as rapidly as
possible. The details of the suit have
not been decided upon yet, but as
both sides are anxious to have the
matter settled speedily the facts In
case will be stipulated and the matter
allowed to rest on the validity of the
section of the law expressly permit
ting property owners to buy up cer
t'flcw' rm their own lunrt.
Stand By Earl Weacott'a Contract.
A special from Lincoln to the
Omaha Bee says: "The Board of Pub
lic Lands and Buildings this afternoon
let the following contracts: Papering
representative hall and senate cham
ber, to Lincoln WallPaper company,
$2,020; cleaning carpets In hack halls;
Lincoln Carpet Cleaning company,
tl.'iO: food elevators for Hastings asy
lum, Earl C. Wescotp, $3,472. This
last contract has been under Investi
gation for some time and the board
has made a clean record by letting the
contract over again to the same party
at the same price." The Journal Is
pleased to note that the board stands
right by Mr. Wcscott's original con
tract, lie Is a Plattsmouth boy and
a hustler and will do the state good
service.
At Kalamazoo, Mich., the women
crusaders recently visited a liquor sa
loon and by hard praying tried to in
duce the proprietor to close the place.
The proprietor Invited the ladies to
seats and asked them to pray, and he
himself offered the following prayer:
"Almighty Creator In Heaven! Thou
who last made the heaven and earth,
and created man in thine own image
as ruler of the earth! Whilst animals
are living on grass and water, Thou
(jidst teach Thy servant Noah to make
wine; and Thou didst not punish him
for making use of it. At the wedding
of Cana Thine own Son, Jesus Christ,
transformed water into wine when the
Juice of grape was exhausted; that the
reformer Martin Luther said, 'He who
docs not love wine, women and song,
remains a fool all bis life long.' And
a divine command of the books Thou
hast given us is that man shall no
longer drlnic water, but shall use a lit
tle wine for his stomach's sake and

Lord! Thou knowest the crimes they
commit. Oh, Lord, have mercy upon
them and take tliem back Into Tby

give them common sense, that they
may see their own foolishness, and
grant ttiat they may he good and
