Lincoln Letter
Lincoln Neb Dec 14 1903
The state board of equalization
and assessment created under
the new revenue law holds its
initial session tomorrow for the
purpose of selecting a secretary
George D Bennett book keeper
in the auditors office has been
agreed upon for this position at a
salary of 1500 per year his
place in the auditors office being
taken by Henry Seymour of York
now a clerk in the insurance de
partment
Several county treasurers who
remitted too much school fund
money to the state treasurer last
year probably will experience a
great deal of difficulty in getting
the surplus cash returned Last
winter the legislature ordered the
matter straightened by drawing
warrants against the permanent
fund but Treasurer Mortensen
has decided to refuse to comply
with the order asserting that the
fund is inviolate and cannot be
drawn against under any circum
stances whatever His position
is that no matter if thousands of
dollars should be annexed to the
fund through mistake not a pen
ny of it could be withdrawn The
well known bankers sign- No
Mistakes Rectified is conspicu
ously displayed over the treasur
ers desk
Insurance Deputy Pierce of the
Auditors office is seeking indus
triously for one J Forrest Mar
ston who has been posing as a
minister of the gospel in various
sections of the state and is said to
have swindled a number of per
sons by selling them accident
and burglar insurance receiving
cash premiums and failing to de
liver the policies as agreed
The Union Casualty company
of St Louis complained to Mr
Pierce about Marston early last
fall stating that he was not
authorized to solicit business for
them Later the accident de
partment of the Aetna company
made a similar complaint and
finally letters from Marstons
dupes in Elmwood Falls City and
Silver Creek began to pour into
the auditors office
It is said that Marstons pat
rons at Elmwood and Falls City
received absolutely nothing in re
turn for their money while at
Silver Creek parties who paid for
Aetna policies received certificates
written by the American Fratern
ity company of which the insur
ance department knows nothing
Marston is said to have resided
for several months at Table Rock
and was last heard from in Grand
Island Any one possessing in
formation relative to his present
abode will confer a favor by com
municating with Deputy Pierce
General Colby indignantly de
nies that he has a dollar in his
pocket which belongs to the state
or nation but promises that in
case a careful investigation of his
accounts develops a shortage the
amount will immediately be made
good So far as the question of
armory rent is concerned General
Colby seems to be in the right
It appears that there was a small
difference of opinion between the
Adjutant General and Captain
Murdock commander of the Wy
mote battery and that General
Colby when retiring from office
retained the battery allowance
for armory rent for the purpose of
forcing the captain to make some
disposition of a lot of obsolete ac
coutrements then in his charge
General Colby made no attempt
to conceal the fact that the arm
ory rental was in his pocket to
the contrary he notified Captain
Murdock that the money would
be with held pending a settlement
of the dispute and also reported
the facts in the case to his suc
cessor in office Genetal Culver
The money eventually was paid
to the battery commander and the
controversy adjusted
With regard to the charge of
selling blankets to the state and
mis appropriating the proceeds
General Colby maintains his in
nocence but has made no de
tailed explanation The state is
in no wise involved in the matter
which is one entirely between
General Colby and the govern
ment
W F Thompson secretary of
the Nebraska food commission
has notified the officets of the Re
tail Grocers association that in
future he will hold merchants di
rectly responsible for the wares
they have in stock This does
not mean that when articles bear
ing a deceptive label or contain
ing injurious substances are found
in a merchants store he will be
carted off to jail but it signifies
that retailers must break them
selves of trie habit of repeatedly
purchasing bogus vinegars ciders
etc and then pleading ignorance
of the fact that the stuff is not all
that the labels indicate
Heretofore the practice has
been to prosecute the wholesaler
only bit as the foreign jobbers
were chief offenders and were be
yond the reach of the Nebraska
law they continued to ship infer
ior goods into the state knowing
that the worst that could happen
would be for the food commission
to ordet the goods returned Ne
braska merchants to a consider
ble number continued to purchase
brands which they knew to be
fraudulent selling the same in
direct competition with the wares
of Nebraska wholesalers and
manufacturers who were forced
to do an honest business under
penalty of the law The natural
result was almost to destroy the
trade of the Nebraska houses
especially makers of vinegars and
ciders
Under the new plan should a
merchant persist in offering for
sale goods which he must know
to be inferior or even continue
to patronize houses which he has
been warned are doing an illicit
business Secretary Thompson
will apply the state law to his
case and endeavor to impress him
with the fact that the statute
means all that it says
