SUGGESTS CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT
flacomnaeada that All Moaey Seeded
for tha Rapport of Pnblle .Schools
Ha Raised by Direct
Taxallea. .
At the meeting of the Woman's club Moil
flay the . committee on education, which
bat beeti Investigating the coalition of the
public school, submitted Its report. The
Conclusions and recommendation, con
tained In tbs report are. as follows:
As a summary of our eight weeks' per
sistent Investigation, we find:
First That the emlency of our public
Schools la th highest, cunceru of every
Cltlsen.
Second That the public schools of Omaha
take high rank among the schools of this
country.
Third That the coet of education per
Child In Omaha 1 only a fair average.
fourth That there Is no special demand
for relief from taxation for school pur
poses. Fifth That taxes for school purposes are
not high.
Sixth That taxes upon real estate are
high because It practically bears It all, per
gonal taxes being largely unaasessed, and
gtll taxes being poorly paid.
Seventh That salaries paid In Omaha
how are but an average.
, Eighth That while the present school
board have cut the teachers' salaries $24,130,
they ask lor $1,250 more for thirty-eight
weeks of school than was used for the same
Iength of time In 19m, and exclusive of the
eachera' salaries and the Increased amount
In the sinking fund they ask for 116.623
more for other purposes than was spent
lor those purposes in iwd.
Your committee therefore would recom
tnend: First That Omaha maintain public school
salaries equal to those of other cities of
the same rank.
Second That our schools be raised above
political and personal preferences. That
no teacher be retained who does not mani
fest by her qualifications and adaptability
Abundant professional ntness for her work.
Third That the rlvll service rules be ap-
rlled to both teachers and Janitors. That
heir promotion depend upon their efficiency
and faithfulness.
Your committee la of the opinion that all
money required for school purposes should
be raised by direct taxation. The present
method I to estimate at the beginning of
the year the probable resources from nnes
end licenses and then cause a tax to be
levied to raise the additional funds re
quired. Ths amount received from lines
. and licenses varies so much from year to
year that there is always uncertainty as to
what the Income from these source will
be. This, however, Is only one of the minor
reasons. Money dealved from fines Im
posed for the purpose of regulating the
liquor traffic can be most appropriately
jsed for the support of prisons, Jails, re
formatories, Insane asylums and for the
salaries of police and other officers em
ployed to enforce the laws. It Is not. In
our opinion, appropriate that such funda
should be used to educate children, and we
believe that the fact that such funds are
now bo used leads the public to look with
more tolerance on a traffic that they know
Is destroying the souls and bodies of their
fellow beings.
We, therefore, recommend that this club
Uee It best endeavors to secure an amend
ment to the constitution of the state and
the enactment of such lawa as may be
necessary to bring about this change.
The election of chairmen of committee
resulted; Auditing, Mr. H. J. Penfold;
constitution, Mr. Mary O. Andrew;
courtesies, Mr. H. 8. Jaynes; house and
boms committee, Mr. H. H. Baldrlge;

Towle and Mrs. M. B. Lowrle; membership,
Mesdame Warren. Bwltzler, N. G. Adams,
A. H. Hippie, C. E. Summer and Ml E.

The constitution committee recommended
an amendment providing for ths appropri
ation each year of a specified sum for the
uss of th library committee.

KNOCKS COLORADO TRAFFIC
Pacific Coait and Eastern Line Bid Low
for Summer Tourists.
MANY CONVENTIONS IN EXTREME WEST
Eastern Roads Anaonnrt Inpreee-
dented loir Ratea to Resorts In '
Their Own Territory to . .
Hold Rnslness.
Though discreet silence has been main
tained on the subject heretofore, recent ac
tions of the two eastern passenger asso
ciations and of the Transcontinental Pas
senger association have caused a marked
uneasiness smong Chicago-Colorado rail
roads regarding the Colorado travel for thla
summer. While brave predlctlona of an
other overwhelming season of outing traffic
have been prominently projected by the
passenger officials It was learned at Union
Pacific headquarters yesterday that no
such confidence Is really felt. As a matter
of fact, while It has been prophesied tha:
the Colorado travel would exceed and prob
ably double that of last year it Is not really
expected to equal the great record of 1901.
which was 60,000 visitors. The bidden atti
tude In this matter has been existent for
some time, but not till yesterday was the
change of front externally visible. An offi
cial describes the situation thus:
"The Colorado roads are assailed from
both the far west and the esst this year,
and the double flanking cannot but have
great effect in making Inroads on our Colo
rado travel. From the east comes the
worst blow. Railroads of the Central Pas
senger association and especially of the
Trunk Line Passenger association have for
the first time In their history been com
pelled to take notice of the western lines
and their summer resorts, and the result
has been a combined movement againat us.
These proud eastern roads, wealthy and
powerful, that have regarded us with scorn
for decades, have put In ratea to their own
eastern mountain and coast resorts this
summer that will be a blow In the face to
Colorado travel.
Easterners Are Jealous.
"Always conservative, the eastern lines
have never In years past given any lower
rate for summer outings than 80 per cent of
the double local fare. That was not much of
a reduction, but they retained the business
lust the same till last year. Then the wet.
cut Into them hard and they winced. They
tried not to notice It, but tbelr travel fell
off so greatly that It became a matter of
business protection, so they now announce
rates of one fare and a third to eastern
resorts for the whole summer season
This rate is a record breaker for those
lines and there Is no use denying that we
will feel It, for many of the easterners who
came to Colorado last year on those low
rates we put In will go to their old haunts
this year at a fare of one and a third.
"From the west comes another slap
The widespread prevalence of cheap ratea
clear to the coast throughout the whole
season will hurt the Colorsdo travel, for
the people will go on clear west. It just
happens that a whole string of these big
conventions come along In such sequence
as to cover the entire summer with their
rates. Heretofore there have been cheap
rates to the coast, true, and there were
last year, but they were of seldom occur
rence and dates of sale were brief. Thts
year the whole west coast Is blanketed with
a poverty rate for the whole season long.
Paelfle Coast Conventions.
"First came the convention of the Fed
eration of .Woman's clubs, for which tickets
have just gone off sale, giving a $45 rate
from the Missouri river and $50 Irom Chi
cago. That for May. Then cornea June,
with the Bhrlners' convention at San Fran
cisco, giving similar rates. In June also is
the Travelers' Protective association con
vention at Portland, with the same rates,
and later the same month the Ancient Or
der of United Workmen Supreme lodge at
Portland at the same fares.
"So June Is swamped with rates and In
July comes the Young People's Christian
Union society of the United Preabyterlan
church at Tacoma, and In August Is th
Knight of Pythias meeting at San Fran
cisco, both having the same rates as all the
other."
Capitalists on a Tonr.
Monday the Union Pacific railway car
ried three carload of St. Paul men west
ward to Reno, Nev. These men are all
wealthy, all men of extensive business In
terests. They are the stockholders in the
great Plume Copper Mining and Smelt
ing company at Reno, and witT first visit
and Inspect their own property. After that
the trip is to develop Into one of investiga
tion, as ths gentlemen are looking for fur
ther chances for Investment. They will
scour the whole far west mining section
before returning, spending daya aad week
at a time In different places.
Financial worries seemed to be far from
the mind of the member of the party
when they passed through Omaha on their
journey. Practical perplexities were evi
dently banished till the scene of labor
should be reached. Traveling Passenger
Agent J. O. Goodsell of the Union Paclilo
railway marshaled the party at St. Paul
and brought it to Omaha. Then Rate
Clerk J. H. R. Parsons assumed the reins
and conducted the financiers on west.
Mr. Goodsell says that although the as
semblage represented million of dollar
cash and credit and immense total of busi
ness and social prestige the fact was not
made offensively apparent by the bearing
of the northerner. Though every one of
them wa seriously athlcted with the
disease called money they were all never
theless jolly and mischievous fellow.

In Omaha.
At the meeting of the Commercial club
yesterday a letter was received from Topp ft
Voeburg of Johnstown, N. Y., who seem to
have taken up the western Idea of the late
William Topp. This firm is engaged in the
same line of work and says that It desires
to move west, specifying St. Joseph and
Omaha as desirable points, and asks what
Inducements Omaha will offer for the loca
tion of the houte. The writer says that it
the firm cornea to Omaha a firm of coat
makers of Boston, Mass., will also locate in
this city. In order to save future explana
tions the secretary waa empowered to in
vestigate the financial standing of the firm
and to ascertain more details before an an
swer la made to the letter.
The delegate from the Trl-Clty Press
club reported that tha National Editorial
association had decided to meet In Omaha
and was thanked for Us effort In that
behalf.
A telegram was read from George H.
Maxwell saying that the prospect for the
passage of the Irrigation bill In its present
form is bright, and a member of the club
stated that be had received a letter from
Congressman Mercer in which the rep
resentative took an equivocal position on
the issue. The letter of the congressman
was sent to Mr. Maxwell.
The secretary reported that on and after
May 4 the Burlington road will operate a
train between Hastings and Crete, which
will make It possible for merchants along
the line to visit Omaha and return home
the same day. The train will be made per
manent If It I made to pay by the patron

RELATES THE TALE OF A COW
Mrs. Maraverlc Wants Someone Ar
retted for Clipping; Bovine'
Fly Dlstnrber.
Mrs. Ttllle Maraverk had the tale of a
cow to relate to City Prosecutor Thoma
yesterday, and a portion of the tall to
prove that it bad been cut from the end of
her cow. Her grievance wa that one of
her neighbor had gone tb the lot on South
Thirteenth street upon 'which she was wont
to allow the cow to graze since the advent
of the springtime and the green grass, and
through Jealousy and spite bad cut from it
tall two tnebe of the bushy end.
Mrs. Maraverk expressed Indignation and
sorrow as she carefully unfolded from a
delicate handkerchief a chapter of the tail
and offered It as evldenoe.
'The cow was staked out on my own
property," aald Mrs. Maraverk, "and some
of my neighbor who were Jealous because
I owned such a good animal deliberately
slipped over to where she was and cut this
off. It Isn't a very long piece, but It ruins
her looks and unfits her for fighting files,
and I want the guilty party arrested."
To prove that the cow was on her own
property Mrs. Maraverk took with her to
the station an abstract of title to the land,
dating bark so far that the city prosecutor
accepted her word without an investigation.
Mrs. Maraverk said she found the end of
the appendage of the bovine near where the
animal was tied, and che knew by the un
even ends of the hairs that it had been cut
with a knife, and that she had a good idea
who wielded the knife. The city prosecutor
was not up on the subject, and as the com
plainant could not speak English under
standing she waa advised to call again
when an Interpreter Is present and to
hold on to her evidence.

THIRTEEN A LUCKY 8DMBER
Thirteen Professional AgriotiltnrisU Absorb
Bulk of Appropriation for Fair.
DRAW PAY FOR ATTENDING MEETINGS
Only fmall Portion of Total Appro,
prlated from Pnbllo Fnnda
tioes for Payment of
Premlams.
The officers and promoters of the PougUs
County Agricultural society will hold the
regular monthly meeting next Saturday,
but as yet have not, they say. been able
to outline a course to pursue this year In
the matter of a fair or exhibit. Pome are
for giving It up, others have proposed that
they "Me low awhile and then spring it
suddenly and strong," and one prominent
citizen whose wisdom snd strategy were
a r pealed to advised that a "committee be
appointed to visit the editor of The Ilee
and see If he can't be brought Into sub
jection." It seems a prevailing opinion
that The Bee Is all that stsnds between the
eoclety and the county treasury.
This opinion, howevar, Is refuted by the
attitude of at least thres of the county com
missioners. All five members of tbo county
board voted against tha solicited appropria
tion a month ago, but Cofnolly and Harte
havo suffered a changes of heart, or .it least
of Inclination, and are said to be willing to
appropriate $2,600. Connolly makes the pro
viso that the society lie up with the
Ak-Sar-Ben for the fall festivities, but
Harte is willing to give the money tot a
fair Just any old place. Chairman Hofeldt
says be won't vote a dollar for ths society
under any circumstances. Ostrom says be
sees no reason to change his negative vote
of a month Rgo and O'Kjeffe says he thinks
the society has already bad more than it
should have had.
What Warrant Bonk hOTva.
Tbis unfavorable opinion has been largely
induced by an examination some of the
commissioners recently made of a bunch of
830 of the society's warrants, filed with the
board as required.
These warrants, drawn at various times
from October 1, lflOO. to November 21, 1901,
are for a total of J3.778.15. of which those
for $977.69, or a trifle more than 25 per cent,
were made ,out as salary warrants to thir
teen men who appear to have been principal
promoters as well as beneficiaries. They
are; D. H. Christie, J. H. Taylor, J. It.
Watts. R. W. Douglas, E. H. Walker, H. J.
Roesslg, Fred Srhroeder, G. M. Drexel.
Charles Witte, P. Mergen. A. Klewlt, E. C.
Erfllng and Chris Steiger.
By placing the warrants In three general
classifications It Is discovered that they
represent $1,404.25 paid as wages and sal
aries against only $733.67 paid In premiums
and $1,638.23 for all other needs, Including
decorations, supplies and the two warrants
for a total of $1,124 to the Ak-Sar-Ben
board.
For premium winners there were 161
warrants, making the premiums average
$4.67. Of these 161 warrants fifty-five, In
cluding most of the larger ones, were
shown to be for only 45 per cent of the total
premium won. Incidentally the largest
premium payment was $35 made to one of
the lucky thirteen who shared liberally In
the salary dispensation; and incidentally,
too. It was not revealed that the salary
warrants represented any discounted pay
ments. "Wnatea nnd Salaries."
The wage and salary total la represented
by 101 warrants and of these only forty
threa went to employes other than the
thirteen above mentioned. These forty-
three represented $426.56, or an average of
a.92. The remainder of the total, or

eleven days' attendance at the fair and
$15.40 for attending four meetings of the
board. The same man won $3.15 in pre

Warrants for sums varying from $10 to
$20 for "attendance at board meetings" are
much In evidence and four at $25 each for
services on "legislative committee," be
sides one or two smaller ones for "ex
penses" of that committee. One of the
commissioners, when he saw these laughed
a very dry laugh and said: "That 'legisla
tive committee' used this money we bad
appropriated for a fair to lobby at Lin
coln againat the bill Intended to do away
with that law which made It mandatory
for the county board to appropriate to the
society on a basis of about 15 cents for
