EMPI.YOMENT AGENCY ACT WILL
STAND IN COURTS.
NEWS OF THE STATE HOUSE
Items of General Interest Gathered
From Reliable 8ources at
State House.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Validity of tho employment agency
act, passed at tho 1913 session of tho
legislature, was established by tho
stato supremo court In a decision writ
ten by Chief Justice Morrlssoy. Tho
measuro was fought by tho Western
Reference and Bond association on the
contention that under Its operation by
tho labor commissioner no recourso
is had when this officer exorcises his
powers of investigation under its pro
visions. The court's opinion of tho
controversy is sumniod up In this syl
labus: "Injunction will not lie to pre
vent enforcement of an alleged void
statute where It is not affirmative,
ly shown that the plaintiff has no rem
edy nt law under Its provisions."
State Funds Uninvested.
Stato Treasurer George E. Hall
takes exceptions to a published state
ment that there Is a largo amount of
state funds unlnvostod. He points out
that $215,000 of general fund money
on hand Is classed as "uninvested
money." His monthly report shows a
total of $34,000 in four trust funds
uninvested, but Treasurer Hall ex
plains this by pointing out that his
report shows $40,000 of bonds car
ried by him as cash. As soon as the
trust funds equal this amount ho will
exchange it for the bonds. The bonds
aro drawing interest at tho rato of
4 or 5 per cent, while tho uninvested
trust funds aro In depository banks
drawing 3 per cent interest. Ho has
purchased tho bonds with other stato
funds and holds them na cash. He
contends that In reality there aro no
uninvested funds.
The State's Railroad Bonds.
Railroad bonds in tho sum of $5.
645.4G5 havo been voted by tho various
subdivisions of tho state in the past
forty-six years, according to a report
prepared by Stato Auditor Smith. Most
of them havo been retired, but sever
al hundred thousunds dollars are still
outstanding, tho interest In most casos
now running a close raco with or ex
ceeding tho original principal of the
securities. Lancaster leads all coun
ties of tho stato with a total of $625,-
000. DoilKlaB COUntv Is noxnnil wlK
as even $500,000. of which 5150,000
was voted by Omaha Itsolf. Forty
eight counties of the stato have nevor
Issued such bonds, although only three
of them havo no roads at all and two
of them lesB than ten miles each.
Enlistments Will Be Heavier
Tho number of enlistments from the
local navy recruiting station may be
heavier from now on owing to n now
congressional act which went Into ef
fect Juno 30, 1914. Under tho terms
of tho law fifteen appointments from
nmong tho regularly enlisted ensigns
to tho Annapolis naval academy will
bo mado each year. In this way a
man without n political pull may Join
the navy and have an oqunl chance
with all othors to recolvo an appoint
ment to the academy, provided ho is
under twonty-ono years of ago and
can meet tho requirements. Under
tho old system nn nppolntmont usu
nllv required at least a small amount
of political backing. Under tho now
system each candidate will be con
sidered on his own merits
Levees for Nemaha River
A levco system similar to that In
operation along the turbulent old Mis
slsslppl river Is proposed as a means
for doing away with the flood waters
along tho Nemaha river Just near
where It empties Into the Missouri
river. Thousands of dollars worth of
property havo been wiped out this
year because of the rampages of the
Nemaha river and tho intention of
Stato Engineer Johnson is to prepare
for some effectlvo combat against tho
onslaught. Governor Morehead and
Engineer Johnson will tako a trip into
the affected region nnd will hear tho
suggestions and complaints of the
Inndholde-i. After their return thoy
will recommend definite action to tbe
Btate Irrigation board.
