One of tho commonest April fool Jokes
In England Is to send a letter by a dupe,

Asldo from the election of three members
of the Hoard of Education Uttlo Interest
seems to be taken In tho election. Ncnrly
everyone concedes tho election of Uennctt
ns tax commissioner and therefore tho At
tention of voters Is centered on the other
candidates. Mr. llonnett Is generally con
sidered the right man for tho place and
It Is figured that ho wilt poll the highest
vote of any candidate on the ticket.
Thoso who hnve been watching tho situ
ation clocly assert that there Is 110 doubt
but the entire republican school board tic
ket will bo elected. Mead, Oilmen and
Hlch arc all well and favorably known and
their election will mean that the manage
ment of school district affairs will bo In
tho hands of republicans and business men
of staudlng. As tho women will bo per
mitted to votu without teglsterliig It Is ex
peeled Jhls class of vole will be large. Tho
republicans will havo plenty of carriages
and nn effort will bo mado to get out a
heavy vote, especially for school directors.
Republican tallies will bo tonight In

Comment 011 llriinrtl'N Cnml Idnr
Editor Dennett of the South Omaha Dally
Sun has this to say of W. A. Ilcnnett, re
publican candidate for tax commissioner:
'There nre no republican bolters on Hen
nolt'e nomination. While thero arc repub
licans who do not like tho idea of thu
parly going into a packing house to pick
out an assessor, they know that Mr. Ilcn
nett la too honest and too Independent
to permit his work ns assessor to be In
fluenced by tho corporations. Dennett Is
under no obligations to tho packers. Ho
docs his wqrk nnd cams his salary, Just
as any other man, nnd besides -he has
wealth enough to render him entirely In
different to the wishes of his employers In
matters pertaining to the public welfare.
Ills laes aro henvy enough to show him
that the corporations aro now getting oft
entirely too lightly, and knowing this Ilcn
nett is Just the kind of a man to go ahead
and fix the nssessinent properly nnd with
Justice In view, for In public life he has
always tried to do what was right, regard
less of, criticism."
Xo Council Mrt'tliiK.
While tho city council Is billed for a

As tonight la tho last of the local cam

tho council meet Wednesday evening It Is
thought an ordlnanco will be Introduced re
disricting tho city Into six wards, When
this Is passed It will then devolve upon
Mayor Kelly Jo appoint two members of the
council. From tho tlmo the city Is redls
trlctcd tho representation In the council

In speaking of making these appointments

had not considered the matter seriously nnd

called upon to do so.

As It will take only about four months
In the year for tho commissioner to do his
woik It has been suggested by some mem
bers of the council that the commissioner
put In his time assisting In the city treas

ber of the city government said yesterday
ho would consider It a good move to havo
the tax commissioner devote nt least a

of the office can be greatly Increased aud

WASHINGTON, March 31. Secretary
Oage was questioned today as to his prob
able action with respect to tho cash accu
mulations In the treasury, and particularly
as to whether he contemplated buying
bonds for tho sinking fund. .
"The country would like to know," it
was stated to tho secretory, "whether tho
accumulation of money In the treasury
which seems to be going on will not operato
to the prejudlco of general business ulfalis.
Your estimate ts Hint there will be a sur
plus of recolpts over expenditures for tho
fiscal year ending Juno SO next of nbout
$S0,O0O,0fO. Your statement published yes
terday shous that some $40,000,000 of that
sum nlrendy has been realized. This would
Indlcnto flint within tho next three months
110,000,000 more of cash will bo 'gathered
Into tho treasury from the general money
market "
Tho Sccictnry The estlmutcs you spe.tk
of wero mado before the last session of
congress nnd havo been modified by events
nnd by congressional nctlon. It Is not now
contemplated that tho year's surplus will
bo over $60,000,000. A falling off In re
ceipts or Inrger disbursements than have
been estimated for may also further modify
the effect to which you point.
Question Well, Mr. Secretary, oven
then It seems that the cash holding of thu
ticasury will bo Increased by some $20,000,-
000 between now uud Juno 30. Aro you
willing to state whether you would or
could do anything to retlevo general affairs
should they bo adversely affected by the
tleup ot money In tho trensuiy?
Two I'ohhIIiIp Method.
The Secretary There nre only two meth
ods open to get surplus funds 'out of tho
treasury vnults. Ono Is to Increase treas
ury deposits In tho national bank de
positories; tho other Is to buy ifulted
Stntes bonds. Tho latter Is moro con
sistent with government Interests than tho
former, since in buying bonds interest on
the public debt Is by so much stopped.
Thu dopartment, however, would not feel
Justified In buying bonds other than thoso
which will mature nnd become subject to
payment within the next seven years, At
a 'proper price It would no doubt bo will
ing to buy theso nnd thus relievo tho
treasury from n surplus which, ns you
a.siime, might, under somo conditions, bo
prejudicial to general business aflalrs. At
tho present quoted rates for tho short
bonds, I do not think tho secretary would
bo -Justified In buying bonds. The Cs at
tho price yield nn Investment return of
only t.03 per cent; tho short Is, l.fit per
cent; the 3 per cents of 190S, 1.34 per
cent, while tho now 2 per rents, nt their
present price, yield a higher Investment
roturn, 1.73 per cent. Now It Is well
known nnd au acknowledged fact lhata
long-time government bond, everything else
being equal, 1 worth relatively moro than
a short-time bond. The present disparity
to the contrary, nevertheless, is illogical
If not artificial, nnd nt their present prlco
tho secretary will not buy them.
'Not (0 Ineiensp llnnk l)eMmlt.
Question As an alternative would you
not Increase the deposit of publlo moneys
with the banks?
Tho Secretory No, that would aggravate,
in somo particulars, the situation to which
1 have Just referred. To qualify as deposi
tories the banks would have to buy and de
posit bonds, Tho effect would ho to set up
a competition, by tho aid of the government,
against tho government in tho purchase, of
securities already abnormally high. We arc
now advancing toward the period ot the
year when there Is apt to be a money ple
thora Instead of a money scarcity, so I do
not sco that It will do any particular harm
If money accumulates In the treasury. The
reduction In taxation will, whon It becomes
operative, partially or wholly cure tho pres.
ont tendency toward a congestion In tho
treasury. To put the matter In n nutshell:
If It bn n choice between buying bonds at
an artificial prlco and letting funds accumu
late In tho treasury, tho latter will occur,
nor will the department advcrtlso for offer
ings of bonds. To do so, I am satisfied,
would be fruitless In results, if, however,
the department t'fin from tlmo to tlmo buy
the short bonds at nn Investment rato real
izable to tho Investor who buys tho new 2
per cents, It will not hestliste to do so,
should the present market price for the uow
2s remain about on the present basis.
