    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.

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.

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 % <S> %<*■.
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.

Cattle—Receipts, 300 head. Non. of
the cattle received today were on sale,
and the market was nominally steady on
all classes. While receipts this week of
33,700 head were much smaller than a
week ago, demand has also been more
restricted, and the general price trend
has been downward. Best shipping steers
held steady, hut other steers were mostly
15025c lower, and yearlings closed dull
at 35050c declines. Better grades of
she stock broke 25060c and medium cows
slumped 60c to as much as $1.00. Stockers
and feeders closed 25050c lower, the
plainer stockers being off most.

Wall Street Holds
to Prudent Policy
of Watchful Wait
Brokers and Operators Barejy
Making Expenses; Unrest
Before Election
Blamed.
Bj- BICHARD sriLl-ANI!.
Universal Mfnlce Financial Editor.
New York, May 31.— Speaking in *
broad sense, Wall street Is not making
money. Jt is not making expenses. H
will not make any money until »ners is
a turn .for the better In a business way.
Usually the stock market anticipates a
change In of'otjoinld conditions. 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.
