LINCOLN LETTER
Lincoln, Nabr., Feb. 8th (Special
Correspondencc.)-On February Hd the
Lincoln Stato Journal, pngo 1, second
news section, had Mie following head
lines:
STATK (SBNKUAji FUND FULL
More Thau $100,000 In The
Long Depleted Fund
Immediately under this headline ap
peared the following:
"For the tirst timo in the history of
the state, so far as known, the state
treasurer has 8100,000 in tho general
fund and the state 13 out of debt."
There is an interesting story con
nected with this. Alter many years
of republican mismanagement the state
of Nebraska lound itself burdened by
a debt of over S2,.")UO,t)uO all in interest
bearing warrants issued by republican
treasureis The llolcomb I'oynterad
ministrations reduced this debt up
pioximntuly half a million dollars, the
demo-pop administrations being the
lirst to reduce instead of increase tho
state's outstanding indebtedness.
L-iter a ropolsllcau leislatuto intn -duced
aud pasted what is known as
tho "Sheldon law," which provided
for a heavy tax for the especial pur
pose of wiping out tho debt. The law
was successful, but the people paid a
direct tax in order to wipe out a heavy
indebtedness incurred under repub
lican mismanagement.
Tho democratic legislature of l'JOl)
amended the Sheldon law, thus roduc
ing tho tax burden upon the people.
But that same legislature enacted the
corporation tax law, which has already,
within twelve months, broughtS70,000
in fees into the state treasurer. The
oil inspection bureau has also added
something like 310,000 more than ever
before turned over to the state lu any
ouo year. Thus, mulct- democratic ad
ministration, within twelve mouths, a
burdensome tax is removed from the
shoulders of the people, aud a surplus
of i 100,000 piled up in the general
fund.
The more you study the record of
the present democratic administration
the more certain it becomes that the
democratic legislature of lOuii was the
best in the history of the state.
The democratic hosts ot
Nebraska
will gather in Lincoln on February 1 1,
enjoy a banquet and listen to demo
cratic orators expound the doctrino of
pure demoeiacy The complete ar
rangements hae not yet been made as
this letter is being written, but will
be made in ample time tor the inform
ation ot the people.
Tho law enacted by the late legis
lature regulating tho sale of oils and
gasoline in Nebraska, which took
effect April 1st, 15)01). has resulted thus
tar in a saing to the consumers of oils
aud gasoline In this state, lor a period
of nine months covering Its operation
to January 1st., of the present year, of
si.r5,:i-jo.7'j
Uhonowlaw in eileet reduced tho
speciilo gravity test on gasoline froth
(W to M! degrees, which permitted the
sale of 1 win, as and Oklahoma oils aud
gasoline l.i Nebraska, which were
tormerly excluded by the provisions of
the old law fiom our markets. On the
very day the new oil bill took effect,
the wholesale price of gasolluo in Ne
braska was reduced a -a cents per gal
lon. Under the old law the railroads
refused to pay inspection fees to the
state for the reason that thoy con
tended they wore exempted from the
provisions of the act, by reason of tho
fact that they were users of oil and
not dealers. The now act. specifically
includes oils used by the railroads aud
by reason of this provision tho several
railroads of Nebraska dining tho
potlod of nine months covered by the
report of State Oil Inspector Mullen,
paid to the state of Nebraska in In-
Weeks Each Year For $1.50

Would seem to demand that you read what Ambrose L
Ranney, A. M. M. D., late professor of Anatomy, New
York Hospital, says:
"Eye-strain may, and often does, cause chronic and intractable distur
bances of the stomach. Chronic intestinal and gastric disturbances may
be and often are, companions in graver disturbances of the nervous
system, due to eye-strain.

This is only another pieco of legis
lation enacted by tho late democratic
legislature that has resulted in a gi eat
betiotit to the people, and will, during
the present bl-enuim, make a direct
saving to the consumers of oil in Ne
braska of at least a quarter million
dollars.
Among the important laws passed
by the last legislature is the so-called
corporation tax law This law im
poses an occupation tax on all corpor
ations, both foreign aud domestic,
doing business in the state. The tax
Is based on the capitol stock of the
corporation and runs from fij to S2(H).
Under the provisions ot this law, the
state collected this year moio than
870,'Ot).OU fiom tho various corpora
tions in the state. The right of the
state to levy this tax has been tested
and sustained by the Supreme Court
of the state. As the principle has
now been established in our law, the
legislature can modify tho law and
change the rates to be paid by tho
various corpoiations. In the so-called
reform legislature of l!H)7, a law very
similar to this was intioduced and d
feated The coiporations wero stiong
enough to defeat this pioposed law in
li)u7, but thanks to the Democratic
legislature, this law was passed and
tho state has been the benetlciaiy.
In another way this law has been
valuable to the state. By teasoiiot its
provisions, the Secretary of State lias
been able to get a check on the cor
porations doing business in the state
More than 1,500 different corporations
failed to pay this tax. Nearly nil oj
these are defunct and have gone out
of business In the future, it will not
bo uccessary to include these defunct
corporations in the list of corporations
doing business in the state.
