Spillman Chides Governor Bryan . Over Oil Suits > — Expresses Delight at Offer of Co-Operation—Wants Spir it of Constitutional Convention. In answer to a proposal of co-oper ation from Governor Charles Bryan Attorney General O. S. Spillman Sat urday declared that he “welcomed co operation. craved co-operation like that of the constitutional convention, where party lines were forgotten and men labored for the common weal." Spillman Informed the governor In well-selected terms that he was aware that a suit against the oil companies of the state would be necessary and further atated that such a suit had been Instigated and "announced by the press some time previous to the dictating of your letter.” As for co-operation he suggested that the governor aid the attorney general's office by Instructing the In spectors of his dairy department to collect as much evidence against oil companies and creameries violating dairy laws as possible. A copy of the letter of the attor ney general to the governor is: Acknowledging receipts of your com munication requesting legal action by the attorney general's department against certain unnamed oil companies under sec tions 3432 and 3453, compiled statutes of Nebraska, 1922, I beg to advise you that these matters were already under investi gation by my department, as announced by the press previous to your letter. The statute provides for investigation. tVe are complying with the statute, and st the proper time will take the proper j action. I call your attention to the fact that the office of the attorney general of Nebraska, on Ha own initiative, xas the first in the United States during the last several years to begin action again^r a combination of oil companies. I do trot local! any other such action during the iost decade. As a result of the activities of the legal department of the state of Nebraska. a movement was started throughout the Country to break up any illegal combination of oil dealers. In this state this office was the first to file a complaint against certln comb#iationa of oil companies, which sought to prevent City Commissioner Hopkins of Omaha from selling gasoline to the people et a lower price than that charged by nil the other companies. The title of the case is State of Nebraska,' ex rel, O. R Spillman, Attorney General, against Stand aid Oil Company of Nebraska, and 14 others, a review of which petition, for your information, may not be amiss. This cose will bo prosecuted to Judgment and proper actions will be brought at the prop er time, when based upon competent evi dence under different sections of the anti trust laws of the state of Nebraska, as different need arises. This includes sec tions ”432 and 3453. where competent evldfnce warrants such action. I note your offer of co-operation In this case and your expressed desire to enforce the laws. I welcome co-operation. 1 crave co-operation like that of the constitutional convention, where earnest and unselfish men forgot party lines and labored for the common weal. May I suggest to you, that as the head of the great agri cultural department of the state, the best co-operation which your excellency could give to this department would be the assistance of the inspectors and em ployes of that department in gathering evidence, not only against the oi1 com panies, but against any unlawful crearn. ery combination or discrimination, and any other combinations which may direct ly react upon the farming communities of this state. In conclusion, let me advise that as constitutional law- officer of the etate of Nebraska I shall continue to prosecute antitrust cases and combinations in re straint of trade, not for the purpose of political advertisement, but for the pur pose of securing actual relief In prices for the people or the state. In this con nection it is a pleasure to acknowledge the cordial co-operation received by this department from the Hon. John H. Hop kins, city commissioner of Omaha. Uet me say. also, that the co-operation be tween City Commissioner Hopkins and the state legal department has. in fact, result ed in checking the combine and reducing gasoline prices in Omaha. The move ment will spread throughout the state A» with great rapidity, where other inde m pendent dealers follow In the footsteps of Commissioner John Hopkina by estab lishing real honest competition. Tn other words, competition, the thing aimed at by the state, is being secured. Ralston Society V_/ Mrs. Joseph Llchnovsky honored Miss Marguerite Urion at a miscel laneous shower Friday at her home.

Electricity to Be Boon to Farmers, Says Davidson j Next Year's President of Elec tric Association Predicts Great Strides in Industry. J. E. Davidson of the Nebraska Power company, who was elected first vice president of the National Electric Eight association at its re cent convention, said yesterday on his return that great strides will be made by the electrio. industry during the next few years. Mr. Davidson will be the national president next year* It will be the first time such an honor has been held by an Omahan. "Electricity is on the way to be tho boon to the farmer,” said Mr. Davidsc/n. “With the aid of cheap power the farmer and his family will have the same chance of proper liv ing as the families of city dwellers. It will result in continued and height ened productivity of the land. Only by Co-Operation. "I agree with Secretary Hoover that this great development can be carried on only by the co-operation of private industrials and not by fur ther bureaucracy of 680 congress men and senators. Mr. Hoover said that our political system will not be developed for generations to come to a point where It will have either the capacity to choose skill or the as sured probity to' operate these•implc- ( ments. “It will be the part of the states manship to give encouragement to private enterprises under strong pro tective restrictions in bringing power and light to atl individuals In towns and cities, botli large and small.” Mr. Davidson said that the general public is not aware of the greatness of the public utility industry. “More than $17,000,000,000 Is Invest ed in public utilities In the United States,” he said. "Two billion dollars is invested in ths telephone and tele graph business; $4,000,000,000 In the gas industry and mor^e than $10,opo, 000,000 in the electric railway, power i and light industry. Mr. Davidson said that plans are now being contemplated which will give the users of electricity more service than ever in giving them the most for their money in the use of electricity. Because of the stability of the power and light Industry Mr. Davidson said that figures given out at the con vention Bhowed that banks and in surance companies are making large investments in public utilities. He said that Insurance companies invest ed nearly $2,000,000,000 in public utili ties securities in 1922. In regard to the possibilities of elec tricity, Mr. Davidson said these four Important points were brought out at the convention: * Only 65 per cent of the industrial power load Is electrically generated. Less than 39 per cent of the popula. tlon of the United Stages lives In elec trically lighted dwellings. Of railroad mileage only about 1 per cent Is electrified. Eighty-eight per cent of the 6,000, 000 farms in the United States are without electricity. f ■' - —1 "" % South Omaha CARD PARTY AT ST.

May Liquidation Features Trading on Grain Market Wheat Closes a Little Lower After Session of Free Selling for All Deliveries. By CHARI.ES J. J.EYDKN. Universal Service Stuff Correspondent. Chicago, May 31.—May liquidation fea tured the grain trading ioday, the "pass ing out" or those deliveries. May cofn offered moat excitement. After advancing under ahort covering the greater part of the session to 79 %c, price a lllpflopped to 75 %c. The break was so rapid Rt the bell that the official close was placed at 78#75%c, Wheat closed l%0>l%e lower, corn was down, oats were %@‘«c down and rye ruled %40%c down. Tlie wheat pit encountered free selling In nil deliveries. The early alump at Winni peg brought out offerings here, generally regarded as holdings accumulated recent ly at higher levels. Leading cash inter ests supported the market at the bell. Rains qver the souUiwcst winter wheat belt continued and tempered any bullish enthusiasm that might otherwise have been shown. Weather conditions over the corn belt were improved, ntid Influenced selling of the late months. May corn was the center of attraction, however. Cash demand was backward and premiums were off % %<*■. Country selling of corn had been delayed by inclement weather, and traders are looking for larger receipts next week. Oats eased with other grains. A house with eastern connections was the beat seller of May oats. Other liquidating pressure was scattered. Rye dropped with wheat. Scattered selling came Into the pit, part of which was credited to the northwest. Provisions were strong and active. Lard was 7%@10c higher and ribs were un changed to 6c higher. I'it .Note*. The character of the crop news In a general way. especially from the south west, has changed for the better the last fe\V daya. Rainfall relieved fears of drouth. However, the change In the crop news appears founded more on be liefs than actual knowledge. Probably It will take several days of growing weather to determine just how much good the rain has done. Some experts say that the condition of the root growth of wheat is such 'that a period of dry or hot weather would lead to greater dam age than ordinarily. At best, weather news always makes the wheat pit a nervous, erratic affair. Reports from Winnipeg said that '‘out side’’ support came into that pit late Jn the day and checked the dip. The weak ness there was laid entirely to technical conditions. Over the holiday In this country shores were busy covering at Winnipeg. Political news was more cheerful. The McNary-Haugen bill is practically through In Its chance of passing congress. It is not Improbable but that eome bill might be hearkened to prior to the adjourn ment next wet*k. Farm bloc leaders arc a) parently bent on putting something through. The Indian wheat crop has officially been reduced 17.000.000 bushels since the last report handed out by that govern ment. The crop Is tiowr estimated at 361.399,000 bushels, this comparing with a final yield last year of 368.824,000 bush els. Reports from the Argentine have It that the greatest acreage on record Is likely to be sown to whfnt the coming season. That Europe Is taking the southern hemisphere wheat more liberal ly Is evidenced by the reported total ship ments so far this season of 106,517.000 bushels, compared with M,05%000 bushels last year in the same time. * CHICAGO CASH TRICES.

Tue stock #tlckcr 1« euphemistically called a barometer of business. But the students of Wall street have barometers other than the stock ticker. Some of them will tell you the real barometers are the money markets, the price at which call and time money may be obtained. Others contend the metal markets ara the keys of Industry, that no sound advance can be built except on activity in the use of Icon, copper, steel, tin lead, spelter, zinc, etc. Others base calculations on the crops. The wise ones take all these factors Into consideration and try to appiaise each element at ita true worth. Whatever the merit of these systems of gauging the tidal action of business, one additional element enters into the calculation this year. That is the na tional elections. There la an aphorism that It Is always darkest Just before dawn. The business skies are dark ot present. The farm Is the base of all industry. The farm has not been in a healthy stare for several years. Wheat growers have suffered heavy loses In the last few years, bo have cattlemen. Superficially, the situation todsy does not look good, but many evidences of correction and of sound Improvement are evident when basic facts are considered. Here are some of them: Broadly speaking, consumption today ts greater than production. That is particu larly true of textile copper. rubber, leather. lumber. Improvement In Europe, especially in Germany, would develop a pronounced demand for copper, of which Germany before the war was a very large consumer. Stocks of tin, lead and spelter are low'. If there Is any virtue In the theory that general Improvement follows Im provement In the metals It would appear that any turn In the metals must be for the •better. Market operators who leave study of the economic problems to the reformers and confine their scrutiny to watching the tape are watchful waiters today. They watch the steels, the rails, the oils, the motors and the others Incidentally, the political skies. They scoff at the Idea that Coolidge Is not going to win. Meanwhile wheat, corn, cotton and other crops arc growing They mean wealth. One cardinal trouble In America Is that the industrial machine was enlarged in war days out of all proportion to post war needs. The nation rruist grow up to the bigger machine. It fa doing so but not so fast as to employ the machine fully as yet. Wall street knows this but is Impa tient. It fattens on commissions These are lean, very lean days. Not more than one brokerage house out of 10 is making expenses. That's disheartening. No one longs for prosperity more than Wall street. And Wall Street looks to the ticker for sign of its coming A ticker never falls to tell. And always it tells well In advance. Foreign Exchange. New York. M ▼ SI.—Foreign Eexchanges —Quiet.
