ASSESSORS MUST COLLECT STATISTICS Sapreme t'oort Holds that the Law la Valid aad Work Moat Be Done Even If o Provision for Payment la Made. (From a Staff Correspondent) LINCOLN. Mar 8 (Special.) William B. Price of this city, lawyer, prominent fusion worker, part owner of an oil claim In Texas and formerly a clerk in the audi tor's office under John F. Cornell, haa been appointed by Governor Savage to suc ceed J. Sterling Morton as member of the Nebraska commission tor the Louisiana Purchase exposition. The position carries with it no compensation. Mr. Price this afternoon received his commission, which Is gorgeously adorned with colored ribbon and great aeals, and is now a full-fledged commissioner, entitled to all the rights and privileges of the other members. Mr. Price was one of the leading men In the free sliver republican fiarty, and while still a member of that organization began an active campaign for the fusion nomination for state auditor. When the party disbanded Price sought refuge with the democrats and haa since been allied with that party. Aaaeaaora Meat Collect Statistics. The supreme court this afternoon gave a decision sustaining the law which requires county assessors to gather information for the State Bureau of Labor and Industrial Statistics. The act was attacked on two grounds, one allegation being that It waa unconstitutional, because it Imposed addi tional dutiea on the assessors without pro viding for additional compensation, and the other being that there were errora in the title of the bill. The suit waa In the nature of mandamus proceedings, directed against Lawrence Ekew of Lancaster county, an assessor, to compel him to comply with the law. The opinion was written by Judge Hastings, who said: "It is no objection to the 'validity of a statute Imposing an additional duty on assessors that no special provision for their compensation is made. "The act of 1887." imposing the duties of labor commissioner on the governor of the state and providing for the appointment of a special deputy to assist In discharging them, Is not in violation of section 26, article v of the state constitution. "The amendatory act of 1897 to eectlons 2066 and 2068 of Cobbey'e consolidated statutes, requiring assessors to procure cer tain labor statistics, is germane to the pro visions of the original act and to the re quirement of the original section." According to thla decision of the court, it will be necessary for the assessors through out the state to gather statistical Informa tion regarding agriculture, labor and in dustry in general. The county may employ 1 additional men to do the extra work, but the work in some way must be done. I Other Oplnlona Recorded.

The feea taken by Mr. Porter amounted to about $1,000. He did not deny having ac cepted the money, but declared that he bad a right to it, and meant to keep it. Klllinc Plaeea at Mllford. Home.
