AUTO AND DQG RAGE
GO FAR "MAN'S BEST FRIEND" IS
IN THE LEAD.
WHAT ASSESSOR ROLLS SHOW
One County Comes to the Front With
Seventeen Automobiles, Offsetting
Same With Seventeen Dogs.
Tlio stato capital correspondent of
the Omaha Bee, who has been Inves
tigating Nebraska assessment rolls,
finds that the autoniobllo mny outdis
tance the horse and take his placo in
the affection or the driving public, but
It will have to go some to get ahead
or tho Nebraska dog. According to
reports or county nssessors now on
file with tho Stnto Board or Assess
ment the dog Is much more or a fa
vorite than tho autoniobllo, save in
ono county. In old Pawnee tho auto
mobile hns caught np with tho dog.
Tho people of that prosperous county
own, according to their county asses
sor, seventeen dogs and seventeen
automobiles. In Book county tho dog
nnd thu automobile arc close rivals
for tlio affection of tho people, be
cause the assessor reports $80 worth
of automobiles nnd $S.I0 worth of
dogs. Just how many dogs $8.40 will
buy In Bock county is not known by
the stato board, but the assessor
reports ono automobile. Douglas
county people also give evidence of
eating about as much for docs as thev
do for automobiles, for tho assessor
reported 440 automobiles and 1S2
dogs. Lancaster county revises to do
away with "man's best friend," for
thoro was returned 1,1 is dogs, against
241 automobiles. Lancaster tops tin
state with its dogs.
Saline county's dogs populutlon has
increased from 2.5S0 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 $170 worth
of autonio.illes and $20 worth of dogs,
but Just how much this amount or
money will buy or either commodity
In Thomas county the board has no
idea. Morrill county, the youngest
county Iu the state, has seven auto
mobiles, but lines up with 52(1 dogs.
Cherry county only has two automo
biles, but it lias 151 dogs. Colfax
county has $2,015 worth or auto
mobiles and 1,:!14 dogs.
In most of the counties tho doggie
is worth $5, or rather It Is valued at
that by the assessor, whllo thu 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 ut tho schedules furnished them,
and some of the assessors may yet bo
Jerked up for an explanation. Several
of the ollkinis have neglected to put
in the number of animals or com
modity, though tho schedules provido
a place for this information. Others
have reduced real estnto without say
ing why, when real estate was valued
last year for four years.
Land Values.
An analysis of the returns mudo by
thu county assessors to tho Stato
Board of Assessment shows that sev
eral assessors have returned the vnluo
of lnnds this year less than last year.
Just how this can be the board Is un
able to figure. Laud Is assessed only
once 'In every four yenrs and each
year tho Improvements mado thereon
Is assessed. Every county, thorcfore,
should show an incrensed vnlue of
lnnds. Ah fnr as reported the de
creases nre us follows: Boone, $10,000;
Dawes. $0,000; Greeley. $10,000; Hook
er. $0,000; LnncnBter. $34,000; Logan,
$1,000; Merrick. $3,000. Furnas coun
ty lands Increased JuRt $1, whllo
Knox county lands wero returned at
exactly the same valuation as last
year.
Premium Statute Void.
Judgo Stewart or tho district court
held null and void tho statute which
prohibited the placing of premiums In
food packages. J, R. Burleigh, a
merchant of Lincoln, was arrested for
selling food pnekages in which there
wns a slip which entitled the buyer to
n book. Tho court held such n statute
was unconstitutional and the merchant
wns discharged;
Will Not Be a Candidate.
Judge John M. Bagan, in whoso
name wns started tho suit which do
roated tho nonpartisan election law,
said ho decided not to bo a candidate
for supremo Judgo bocauso ho wns
advised that lila health might bo Im
periled by tho confining work which
would bo his portion ir elected.
Concessions at thr Fair.
Secretary Mellor or the stnto board
or agriculture has up to dato received
moro from concessions at tho stato
fair than hns ever been received np
to this dnto. This Indicates a pros
perous yenr for tno fair, although It
Is to bo held this year for the first
tlmo In n "dry" town.
Butter and Egg Crops.
Creamery managers Htnto that tho
butter production of Nebraska is still
below the normal and that tho coun
try's supply in no moro thnn enough
to meet tho demand. Tho last state
ment of tho associated warehouses, an
organization covering tho principal
cities of the east, showed that on
July 1, tho amount of butter In ntor
ago was 8,000,000 pounds less than a
year ago. Tho same sourco of Informa

THE GUARANTY LAW.
Counsel for State Argue That
Should Stand.
Copies of tho brief prepared by C
O. Whcdon In defense of tho guaran
ty bnnkln law enacted by tho lata
legislature havo been film! In Out foil.
j-cral court Iu resistance to tho appli
cation ror a permanent Injunction to
prevent the law becoming effective.
i-iler a lengthy discussion or tho
police powers of tho state, Mr. Who
don arrived nt tho following conclu
sion:
1. That no case decided by the su
preme court of the United States, nnd
no principle of law enunciated by that
court, sustains the contention that
tho Nebraska statute of 1909 dcprlvcB
tho plaintiffs or nny of them, of rights
guaranteed under the constitution of
the United Stntcs.
2. That the state may, In tho legltl
mate exercise of its legislative, or po
lice power, prohibit Individuals not
Incorporated rrom engaging in the
banking business, within Its Jurisdic
tion, and thnt it lnrrlngcs no legal
right by so doing.
3. That as the legislative act In
question operates upon all Individu
als nllkc, nnd does not prohibit them
from engaging In the banking busi
ness, but morely prescribes tho terms
and conditions upon which they mny
engage in that business. It is valid.
4. That the right or tho stato to
enact such legislation Is sustained,
not only by the supreme court or tho
United States, but by the clear mid
undoubted weight or authority by tho
courts or last resort of tho states, tho
one caso from South Dakota being
the only one which counsel for plain
tiffs have boon able to find to the con
trary.
In dlscusHing the guaranty section
of the law, the brief said:
It Is snld that the effect or this law
Is to take tho money or one bank to
pay tho dobts of another bank. Let
It be supposed that there- are in one
county of tho stute live individuals
who are Incapacitated by reason or
age rrom earning n living and are de
pendent upon the public for support.
Originally each possessed $3,000. Let
it bo further supposed that In tho
same county were five banks, in one
of which these individuals deposited
the $5,000 possessed bv each. Tim
bank holding the deposits of theso in
dividuals failed and the entire depos
its wero lost, and as a consequence
these depositors became public
charges. Could any of the other four
banks iu the county which did not
fall successrully resist the levy or col
lection of the poor fund tnx, thu iur
poso of which wns to support those
five individuals? 1 think not. And
yet this would bo taking tho property
of the solvent banks to pay tho result
or thu loss or tho solvent one.
In conclusion the brief sets up:
First: That tho statute, the consti
tutionality or which is hero ques
tioned, does not deprive tho unincor
porated plaintiffs or any rights guar
anteed to them by tho constitution or
tho United Status, or thu constitution
or tho state or Nebraska.
Second: Thnt all banks in this
stato, whether incorporated or pri
vate, may bo required to comply with
the guaranty reatures of tho law.
Third: That the state may. in tho
exerciso or ita power or sovereignty,
conllne nil or thu banking business or
the stno to corporations.
Fourth: That tho Incorporated
plaintiffs have, and enn have, no con
tract with tho stato which prevents
the legislature from plnclng nddi
tlonal duties and requirements upon
them, oven to tho extent or requiring
them to set usidc n per cent of their
deposits ror the purpose of securing
doposltors.
Firth: Thnt tho act is connMtu
tlonal ns a whole, but If unconstitu
tional ns to paying rewards out of
tlio guaranty fund, or in any of Its
provisions, those provisions nro sep
arable and tho other portlonp.'of the
act are valid.
Sixth: That tho temporary injunc
tion heretofore granted should bo. dls
solved, tho demurrer sustained, and
the bill dismissed.
Makes for Saving Wheat.
Ono reason why farmers thlB yenr
seem moro desirous than usual to
thresh and sell their whent Immedi
ately Is declared by grain men to he
the fenr that If it is stacked tho hor
des will shell out upon tho ground.
Halny wenther delayed cutting the
wheat over a largo section of tho
stato, and It wns ripened beyond tho
proper point when harvested. Wher
over this condition exists, some of tho
grain Is likely to bo lost with ench
handling. Tho farmers, thcrerore,
think It to thulr advantage to thresh
rrom tho shock and haul at onco to
the elevator.
Makes a Great Record
A. K. Walter, a Kearney dealor In
motorcycleii, demonstrated the pos
sibilities or a machine when ho stnrt
ed from that city on a two-cylinder
motorcyclo nnd raced Union Pacific,
train No. 2, ono or tho fastest trains
on that great rond. Walter started
tho sumo tlmo tho train did and went
west following tho road and got to
Shelton, a distance of nineteen miles,
before tho train.
High Freight Rates.
According to O. It. Thompson, Btato
senator from the Soventh district,
tho Northwestern Railway compnny
has a clever way of extorting high
freight ratcB. In a complaint filed
with the stato railway commission ho
assorts that the railway men charge,
for sheep weights far above tho abil
ity of tho shippers to crowd tho nnl
mols Into tho cara. Ab n result, tho
shlpporB uro compelled to pay n much
higher freight rate. Tho mnttor will
bo brought boforo tho railway com
mission for early adjustment.

Sleepy Town of Dover
Receives a Thrill.
Dover This sleepy seaport town ex

ing, a whlte-wlnged, bird-liko machine,
with a loudly humming motor, swept
out from tho hazo obscuring tho bci
toward tho distant French coast, circl

foot, which hud been burned on his
previous overland fllghL Immediately
I twj compatriots who had boon wavlm:
a big trl-colored Hag as a signal for

inusiasticany embracing and pounding
him on the back. They, with a few
soldiers and others who happened to

sons to witness tho performance of a
remarkable feat. Hleriot left Los Bar

1:30 n. in., on onu of thu smallest

Ho crossed tho channel in a little
less than an hour, twlco tus swiftly a
