In Need of Vast Sum for Proper Move
ment of Grain Corn Crop
300,000,000 Bushels
Short.
Washington. Four Nebraska finan
ciers wore represented in the confer
ence held at the treasury department
Friday between western bankers and
Assistant Secretary Williams, In
which tho proposition of having gov
ernment funds deposited in widely
scattered banks to prevent a posslblo
stringency nt crop moving time was
discussed. They wcro's. K. Warrick
of Scattsbluff, J. D. Richards and A.
II. Davis of Omaha nnd J. C. French
of South Omaha. In general satis
faction was expressed over the plan of
tho department to aid the banks. It
is expected that about $1,000,000 will
be placed in Nebraska banks when
the apportionment is made, which will
not bo for n week or ten days. The
one criticism on which the greatest
stress was laid was tho absolute con
dition laid down by Assistant Secre
tary Williams that 10 per cent of the
securities to bo furnished by the banks
must be government bonds. This is
regarded by many of tho bankers who
attended tho conference as a scheme
on the part of tho treasury to bring up
the price of bonds, which they allege
l.nve been depreciated by tho manipu
lation of Now York banks.
, August Crop Report.

ment with tho bankers from tho mid

rather than reduced parcel post rates
was tho plea of Senator Bryan in a

ing parcel post rates. "If wo loso on

can wo expect to make a profit in tho

F0LL0WER8 APPLAUD
ACTION
OF HUERTA.
One Railroad Protests Against Parcel
Post Twenty-six Countries
Have Approved Bryan
Peace Treaty.
Mexico City. President Hucrtn's
prestige among Mexicans In the capi
tal undoubtedly has been strengthened
by what Is regarded as his defiance of
the United States. Even those who
had been lukewarm in their support
of tho administration profess admira
tion for tho soldier-president who
dnred to talk back to Washington, al
though not all of them agree as to the
wisdom of his course and many of
them consider that ho acted precipi
tately In view of the officially defined
Intentions of Washington. Just what
course President Huerta will tako in
the event that John Llnd, President
Wilson's personal representative, con
tinues his trip to Mexico City is a mat
ter for speculation. No official decla
ration has been made as yet as to
what this course will be.
Powers Approve Peace Plan.
Washington. Tho first of the Inter
national peace treaties embodying
S:retary Bryan's plans has been ac
tually signed. It, was between the
United States and Salvador and soon
will be sent to the senate for ratifica
tion. The terms of this convention
practically are identical with the de
tails of the International peace pro
posal submitted by Secretary Bryan
to the nations of the world. Twenty
six countries, Including most of tho
great powers, already have approved
the plan in principle.

MUSES MANY FIRES
TOTAL LEVY FOR STATE TAXES
TO BE 7.80 MILLS.
GOSStP FROM STATE CAPITAL
Items of Interest Gathered from Rr
liable Sources and Presented In
Condensed Form to Our
Readers.
A total of $391,865 worth of property
wns Imperiled by flro during tho
month of July, according to a report
by Fire Commissioner Rldgoll. Of thu
amount the loss sustained on build
ings reached .$112,64 of which $G9,70!
was on the contents.
The totals are compiled from the en
tire state excepting Douglas county.
Aurora headed the list of losses with,
$65,000, Ucrtrand was next with $1U,
000, and Grand Island was third with,
$7,000. Lincoln was fourth with $3,
250. Unknown causes are attributed to
nineteen fires, children with matches
caused half a dozen and gasoline
stoves caused four conflagrations. Lo
comotive sparks caused five flreB. In
his report Commissioner Rldgell adds
tho following interesting comment:
"Wo believe that every city and
town in the stato should pay more
attention to fire prevention and 1 wish
to suggest to tho mayors and city
councils throughout tho stato that they
employ from one to four men (depend
ing upon tho size of the city or town
at least twice a year to make a thor
ough investigation of their cities anil
towns and whero defects are found
and parties refuse to correct them
they report those who refuse to do so
to the mnyor of their respective towns,
and to tho stato flro commissioner's
office nt Lincoln and would, suggest to
tho flro commissioners of Omaha,.
South Omaha and Lincoln that they
select ono man from ench Are station
or district whoso duties shall consist
of inspecting und causing defects to
bo removed and report to the captains
of said stations and to tho office of tho
state fire commissioner.
"Tho report of fires for July, 1913.
outside of Douglas county, showed
total of fifty-four fires, fully 75 per
cent of which were due to careless
ness and could have been prevented.
State Board Fixes Levy.
The stato board of equalization for
tho first time since tho present law
was passed in 1904 accepted the re
turns of county assessors without at
tempting to change them. The totnl
levy for state taxes was increased to
7.80 mills, which la 2.60 mills higher
than tho levy of last year. The board
raised tho general fund levy to 5
mills, which is tho limit permitted
under the constitution, and then made
other levies which uro required to be
made by laws passed by the leglsla
ture, including eighty-tlvo hundredths
of a mill for tho support of stnto nor
mal schools, ono mill for tho support
of tho university nnd thrco quarters
of a mill for a special building fund
for the university nnd one-fifth of a
mill for tho stato aid brldgo fund.
Tho state levy In mills is as follows:
General fund 5.00
U.IH'
Normal school S
Stato aid brldgo 20
Stato university 1.00
University building fund 75
Totnl 7.S0
The last legislature did not appro
priate funds out of tho general fund
for tho four state normal schools, but
Instead provided n levy. This makes
that much to bo collected by taxes for
the general fund, but with tho normal
schools provided for by special taxa
tion, the appropriations made from the
general fund by the last legislature
far exceeds tho amount which will be
derived from a 5 mill levy for the gen
eral fund.
Tho state board of equalization wilt
begin nt onco equalizing the values of
live stock as reported by county
boards and assessors. It has divided
tho stato Into three districts and wllli
try to cquallzo as between counties In;
these districts. The eastern district
Is bounded on tho west by a lino run-,
nlng north from tho western bound-
nry of Nuckolls county, and tho con-,
tral district Is bounded on tho west by
a lino running north from tho western,
border of Dundy county. There Is n
great difference In tho assessed valua
tion of llvo stock In different coun
ties. The board desires to get tho nv-.
crago valuation in each district and.
then bring nil counties within tho dis
trict near together as to value of tho
different kinds of llvo stock.

.Efforts of the board of secretaries
of the stato board of health to abolish
tho one-fbr-all communion cup In
churches will go for naught. Mem
'bers of the board of health proper,
that Is tho governor, attorney general
and state superintendent, who must
approve the recent public drinking
cup order, are not willing to accept
the provision relating to churches and
