Creamery Representatives Meet With

To Talk Over the Situation.
With tho npprovnl of tho governor,
Commissioners Clarke, Wlnnett nnd
Cowglll met with Governor Shnllen
berger to discuss ways nnd moans of
complying with the now law requiring
tho railway commission to value the
physical property or railroads, tel
ephone, telegraph and express com
panies. The appropriation or $40,000
Is available now. "The commission is
to do tho work with clerical help ap
pointed by the commission, with the
npprovnl or tho governor, nnd for the
purpose of outlining a plan of spend
ing tho money tho meeting wns held.
Little wns nccompllshed usido from an

confer with civil engineers with the
view to appointing ono Buch person,
with the approval of tho governor, to
mnnago tho work that is to bo done
under the direction of tho commis
sion, with tho npproval or tho gover
nor. Tho commission Is enthusiastic
over the outlook, nnd it 1b generally
tho governor, nnd it is generally
thought tho task can bo completed
within two years. Tho commission
will first conrer with Dwlght C. Mor
gan who did a Blmilar Job for tho
state of Minnesota. It is thought
best to employ ns chief engineer ono
who hns had experience iu muklng
physlcnl valuation of rnllroad proper
ty. Other civil engineers will bo con
sulted, Including nil uppllcnnts for the
position, with a view to ascertaining
what salaries will bo paid and how
many employes will bo needed. In
other states tho chief engineer has
been paid from $5,000 to $12,000 a
year. What tho commission will do
with the physlcnl valuation of rail
roads arter It gets the engineers'
reports has not been determined, but
it is argued that the figures may bo
or some use in making rnllroad rates,
though not a controlling factor by any
Dairies and Creameries.

missioner S. L. Mains and about fifty

eries of tho Btato mot In representa

effect upon tho mlllocnns, which were
good tilings to rush nil tho tlmo. He
gave a short talk on the future of tho
dairy business of Nebraska. Food
Commissioner Mains informed tho
convention ho hnd ruled that under
tho law providing for tho registration
of can marks with the secretary of
Btato, it Is unlnwful for creameries to
loan their enns to tho farmers, but
that they must at all times be in pos
session of tho creameries or their
agents. Ho ruled also that all cans
imiBt be marked and one of them to
bo In the possession of other than nn
agent of tho creamery would bo a
violation of the law.
This ruling forces the farmers to
hnvo their own cans. Mr. Mains said
it was inspired by a desire to compel
tho cream to bo handed in a moro
Banltary mnnner.

ROSE REFUSES TO CONCUR.
A Dissenting Opinion from Member
of the Supreme Court.
J lid go W. B. Rose of tho nupretno
court has filed a dissenting opinion In
the case wherein John J. Ledwlth
brought a Bult for mnndnmus ngalnBt
tho state treasurer to compel him to
sign a warrant for $35 Tor services ho
rendered ns an instructor In tho uni
versity and to compel him to credit
tho university with the sum or $94G,
017.90. In his opinion, in which a majority
ot tho court concurred, Judge C. B.
Letton grunted a mandamus to compel
tho Btatc treasurer to countersign tho
warrant, but tho relief for tho credit
item was not granted. In tho same
opinion the court also held that tho
"proceeds of tho l-mill levy" meant
tho entire 1-mlll levy. It was hold
also thnt tho proceeds arising from
the Investment of the pcrmnnent uni
versity fund and tho fund donated by
tho'genoral regents without the legis
lature appropriating the same bienni
ally. In IiIb conclusion Judge Iotton
said:
"Ah to tho details regarding tho
funds Involved we aro not fully ad
vised, but enough appears to Justify,
ub In requiring the respondent to coun
tersign tho warrant presented by the
relntor."
Judge Rose takes exceptions to thla
statement on the part of Judge Letton.
He said:
"If there Is nn unexpended appro
priation out or which tho stato treas
urer may lawfully pay the warrant ror
$35, I am of tho opinion relntor should
bo required, ns a condition of relief, to
descrlbo It In definite nnd preclso,
terms, especially under a constltutlpn'
providing thnt "each legislature shall,
mnko appropriations ror the expenses
or tho government, until the expira
tion of the first fiscal quarter arter
tho adojurnment of the next regular
session," and that "no money shall bo
drawn from the treasury except In
pursuunco of a specific appropriation
mndo by law. When these provisions
of tho constitution nre respected, there
Is never nny mlstnko or uncertainty
about tho Identity of nny appropria
tion or tl)o amount of any unnexpend
ed balance In any fund In the stnto
treasury."

to only erect half or it for the pres

Is received to havo It completed. Tho
action of tho board regarding tho now
building will be referred to tho board
of public lnnds nnd buildings, ns thnt
