THE INSURANCE LAW,
The Aadltor aodtioverBOiaraat .Logger
head About It! Inforeement. .
The republican press is greatly excited
over a misunderstanding between tbe
governor and tbe auditor. In tbe re
publican party, where the bone Issues
bis orders and no man dare gainsay
them, such things never occur and they
are all at a Ions to account for tbe fact.
Among populist every man has notions
of his own wblch he never refers to a
a boss for settlement and that makes a
disturbance sometimes. '
It appears that tbe last republican
legiglature puesed a law so crude and
contradictory that no man can tell
wimf t manna in aome of its Darts. One
law takes all tbe insurance business from
the auditors office and places it In that
ni iha e nvnrnor. Another, passed four
days afterwards, puts tbe bog insurance
and mutual life in tbe control of the
auditor. Then there are other things
that are about as badly mixed up.
Tbe governor takes the position that
he is tbe executive and that be is In duty
bound to enforce all the laws until they
are pronounced unconstitutional by the
courts, and has appointed bis deputy,
Judge Bryant, and issued his order on
tbe auditor to tnrn over tbe records.
The auditor has refused to tnrn over
the records. He says the law Is uncon
stitutional, lie refused to turn over
tbe securities deposited by the insurance
companies or to in any way recognlee
tbe governor's deputy. And tbere you
bave it , ''"",..
Jodge Dryant ha opened bis office and
is prepared to do the business of the
state with tbe insurance companies. He
Issued the following letter to tbe com
panics:
"Lincoln, Neb., July 6. Gentlemen
Ton have without doubt been informed
through tbe columns of tbe press of a
disagreement between tbe governor and
auditor of this state concerning tbe
insurance department.
"An explanation of the situation is
yonr right as a matter of business, and
is cbeerlnlly given. Tbe constitution of
tbe state creates certain state offices,
mong which are tbe governor and au
ditor, and it provides that the duties of
thnaa officer ehall be defined by law.
For several years tbe conduct of the ln
surance department of tbe state bad
been conferred upon tbe state auditor
by a legislative enactment Tbe last
legislature,' for reasons which they
deemed suffloiont, with practical unauim
ity transferred tbe business of insurance
from tbe control of the auditor to that
of tbe governor. This law went into
effect on July 1. Out on and since that
day tbe auditor bas refused to surrender
to tbe governor the records, books,
blanks, reports, and other appurten
ances of his office belonging to the In
surance busiuees, although by law ex
pressly required so to do, and hassiuce
that time made a feeble and abortive
attempt to (Uncharge tbe duties of in
surance commissioner. His contention
is that tbe law transferring tbe insur
ance department Is unconstitutional,
and an unsigned opinion to that effect
bas been obtained from a lawyer of this
city, who imagined be bad a personal
grievance with tbe governor on account
of the vetoing of a certain bill. The
auditor has Kivon out that be was act
log under the advice of the attorney
general. But this is a mistake. This
action on the part of our auditor in
taking upon himself in addition to his
executive duties the functions of a legis
lature and a supreme court is a despot
iem without precedent in the history of
the state.
"There is little doubt of the constltu
tionality of the law. If the position
taken in tbe anonymous opinion afore
aid is correct and should an autbora
tive adjudication be made In accord
therewith, it would paralyse the business
of every executive office of the elate for
tbe reason that it would Invalidate not
only this law, but a large percentage of
tbe legislation of tbe liwit fifteen years.
As far as the insurance department U
is concerned we do not reeognlwlu the
auditor even a defocto perfunctory. Tbe
auditor has not attempted to hold an
office to which another pernon has been
chosen. Hut he seeks to retain an offl
clal function which has been removed
from an ofilee which he holds and the
title to which is not in dispute. To lllus
trate, our law give tbe judge of each
county am hot ity to isnue marriage
license, HnppoM this authority wore
transferred by law to the rouuty chirk,
the law to take effect on the Drat day oi
July. After that date no roams

as would nreaorva him and his bonds
men from liability and leave the rest of
tbe business to ths courts. When tbe
end of tbe month comes and the auditor
refuses to audit tbe accounts of ths In
surance bureau tbere will probably be a
mandamus sued out and ths matter will
come before tbe courts for settlement.
In the meantime no one need to get ex
cited about tbe matter.
Ths auditor says that he submitted
some questions In -regard to this compli
cated law to tbe attorney general and
asked bis opinion, and not being a law
yer himself he must be bound by the
opinion of tbe attorney-general. The
attorney-goneral said the law ought to
be teetedln ths court and did not
answer ths other questions for want of
tlms to examine tbe subject, lis being
very busy with ths Bartley bondsmen
trial. Two of ths questions ba... naked
was whether he should turn over all the
records to tbe governors deputy
and whether be should turn over tbe se
curities In bis bands to the state treas
urer. , When the attorney-general finds
time to examine these two points and
gives him an opinion, be will act In ac
cordance with It. In reply to some crit
icism be says that his ffiue is a quasi
Judicial office. He is every day making
decisions on claims against the state,
and an appeal is provided by law Irorn
bis decisions. All that he can do is to
docide that tbe best way be knows bow
and wait for the attorney-general. Ho
here are both sides of tlio case as far as
developed. There is nothing to get ex
cited about.
BRYAN VS, HAVEMEYER
Bryan In answer to Ilavemeyor's
charge that trusts were the sole produe
tlon of high tariffs mad on of his plain,
common sens statements that throws
a world of light on ths subject. He said:
"Boms have suggested tbe free-list as
a core-all remedy for tbe trusts. There
Is no doubt that ths removal of the tariff
from a trust-made article would reduce
tbe extortion, but would It necessarily
destroy tbe trust? If. for instance, steel
rails can be sold (or $16 per ton in both
Kurope and the United States, a tariff of
10 per ton would enable ths domestic
manufacturers to form a combination
and raise the price of steel rails in the
United Htates to f 24 per ton. A law
putting steel rails upon ths free list
would prevent the extortion, but If steel
raits can be produced in tbe United
States as cheaply as elsewhere, a stool
rail trust could lie formed without the
aid of any tariff wall, and a trust or
ganised under those conditions would
be able to control tbe price of tbe pro
duct as well as fix tbe rate of wages and
the price of raw material.
"Whenever an article can be exported
In competition with foreign products at
trust formed in that article can collect
from the consumer tbe foreign prion,
plus the cost of transportation, and we
are yrarly increasing our export of man
ufactured products, it is evident that we
are constantly adding to tbe number of
articles which trusts could control with
out the aid of Import duties.
"Tariff reform, therefore, or even free
trade, would be only a partial remedy."

Tbe governor did not have tba power to

correct tba statement In tbe next issue,
, floms tints ago a letter was received
from a newspaper man In Washington
In wblch be said that In afw weeksall
the great moguls In the republican party
would assemble in London and bays a
conference with the British gold bugs at
wblch time ths plan for the republican
campaign would be mapped out. Not
much attention was paid to ths letter as
It was thongbt to be only the views of a
newspaper man who was surmising
most of it, It seems that the writer
kasw what bs was writing about, Tbe
press dispatches have told ns that
If anna, Depew, Croker and many ottor
prominent republicans were assembled
In London. f ,'.
The writer further said that be had It
on good authority that the Rothschilds
were dissatisfied with ths Kaulsbury
cabinet that there were too many bl
metalllsta in it, and that arrangements
wore being mode for a change. Hauls
bury, , Balfour, Joschen and several
others in ths present cabinet . were out
and out bimetallists and w. tbey
wore In office under an ag- .nt with
Rothschild not to t a political
question of their financial views, tbe
Rothschilds were getting afraid of them,
and were making arrangements to
bring la a libnral government; all the
leaders of that party being out and out
gold standard men.
In this matter ths writer seems to
know what he is writing about again.
Ths lending papers of London hays
been predicting the fall of tbe Saulebury
government, and they are working for a
devolution of parliament. The way
they do the thing over there is aa after
this fashion: The Rothschilds Intimate
to certain members ol parliament that
they wish them to resign. The realgna
tlon is bauded In. An election Is imuie

about the position that Dewey bad

not only to blm, but to all other readers

then be writes:
"For a long tlms I could sot believe
that ths disastrous drift of events was
known to tbe Washington authorities.
I was Inclined to lay tbe responsibility
for tbe Increasing perils upon the mili
tary commander directly la charge, Yet
now It seems clear to me that General
Otis did this work in the mala la literal
obedience to blssupsrlors in America;
that tbere It was assumed that tbs whole
rhxbt and duty concerning tba future
disposition and control ol tbs Philippine
Islands tafia tbe wishes and will of tbe
United Htates; that what tbe Filipinos
themselves might wish need not be
taken Into ths amount In forming plans
for their government."
I The writer bad a talk with" General
Otis. IIe says: "Among other tbingN
General Utls expressed regret tnat tuere
was not a better knowledge of tbs situ
ation among tbs Washington legislators
than there seemed to be, and bs tim
pressed me deeply by bis declaration-!

tion of these Islands wben I cams bers
nor do I believe in their annexation
now.'"
From another source, and
one that
bus always

pendent learns that a very large part of
tbe telegrams that have beeu given out
by tbs war oflloe as coming fram Otis,
were written in that office and were pub
lished over tbe signature of General
Otis without bis knowledge or consent,
Tbe news that we publish this week In

Public documents are not as a rule
highly Interesting or exciting reading.
As a general class of literature, they are
viewed as dry and unreadable good to
put on the shelves to look at and fill out
tbs library, but not for reading pur
poses, Moreover they are mailed ires of
postage, coming from congressmen add
senators, and they cost neither tba send
ers nor the recipients anything, In
other words, they are free, and free
things are seldom considered worth bar
ing. Nevertheless, there Is many an In
teresting and Inatruotlvs (act, and some
times almost a fairy tale, bidden away
In an old black covered, official looking
document
A document which cannot bs said to
corns under tbe dry class, but wblch on
tbe contrary, is full of Interesting photo
graphs o( western country, is this ysar's
annual report of ths Geological rfurvey
on Irrigation, by F. 11. Newell, ths Irri
gation export and govsrnmeut hydro
grapher, Mr. Newell and bis fores bavs
been for a number of years measuring
tbs flows ol various rivers of tbs country
and bis report tolls ths results of this
work, Tbsse are interesting. Many
persons living on the banks of a river all
tboir lives never know what a river is
capable of, with its power utilised to its
mil extent, 'jus question is frequently
asked; What Is tbe ordinary or regular
flow of a certain river? This Question is
at first sight simple enough, butlis found
to bs an sxtrtmefy difficult one when as
examination Is mads of tbs dally dis
charges as determined by the govern
ment investigations, it IS seen tnat tus
fluctuations day by day and year by
year are so great that tbs stream can
scarcely ue saia to now, witn any regu
larity at all.
For Instance In tbs James river In Vir
ginia, the first river known to tba early
settlers, in January wis stream naa a
flow of only about 400 cubic feet per
seenpd, while In February it reacbas over
10,000, then running up ana down, and
ia August dropping to 200 or 800 cubic
feet per second.
The Yellowstone, at uvingsron, Mont,
which In tbs J nns rise discharges over
25,000 cubic feet per second (or aa It is
mors briellr stated, 25,000 second feet)
gradually drops down to 4,000 second
teat in August, 2,000 in Kepteinbor, and
&) in December.
Tbs Laramie river In Wyoming, which
In May discharges 8,500 second feet.
drops down to a mere brook, 0 or 10
second feet during tbe summer and (ail
months.
Tbs North Platte river varies from a
flow of 20,000 second foot to leas than
500. and the main Platte varies from
80,000 second feet to leas than 1.000.
Tbe Arkansas at Lawronoe. Kansas,
fluctuates from tbe enormous volume ol
(10,000 second feet, and in other places
becomes perfectly dry.
Tbs Yakima river, in Washington, IS
another river which flows at times a
flood of nearly 50,000 second feet, while
at others it runs only 500 or GOO ft
In fact almost all western rivers have
this similar trait At certain periods of
tbe year, owirr to heavy rains or melt
ing snows, ,? $ are raging torrents,
wasting great quantities of water wnd
ofton sweeping property before them to
destruction, while at other seasons they
may be wadea across by a cnua. or per
haps entirely dry.
What, then, baa been ths value of de
termining the flows of all these rivers
during different months ol tbe year?
Himply so it that will be known bow
much ths annual rapacity ol the rivers
are bow much water flows through
their beds during tbe year, and bow
much land they are capable of irrigating
providing all their water is stored and
used as needed.
Vast volumnsof water in the west now
run to waste every year enough to irri
gate millions of acres of land; but ths
lime will come wben every gallon will be
saved carefully buubanded by man, to
be os d inter by blm in his agricultural
operations. This, of course, is already
being dous lu many instances, butyet In
only a lew comparatively, and ths gov
ernment officials are now at work Had
