Some Words wltb "Taxpayer."
OMAHA. June 4. To the Editor of The
Bee: In last Monday's Be "A Taxpayer
for thirty years" writing under date of
May !L apparently objects to tbe city coun
cil appropriating 12,600 for Illuminating the
buslue&s streets during the Ak-Sar-Ben
festrdtles and asks if it is cot
a large sum to be wrung from the
laboring classes who receive co benefit
whatever In answer I will say. that it
la a merchants' boom Just as much as it
Is a boom for every resident of every prop
erty owner in the city. Tbl csuie is liber
ally subscribed to, both fcr the street pa
rade and for memberships by merchant,
railway, gaa and electnct railway com
panics, who also pay their proportion of
taxea. All property owners and all classes
receive a benefit from this boom Just as
direct as tbe merchants, the street railway
or other like companies.
Coming at a Ume whta Omaha most
needed their help Ak-Sar-Ben mors than
any other attraction baa mads it possible
for tbe merchants to use more buildings
sod employ mors people to live In houses
and consume more goods, again giving em
ployment to more people te help pay taxes
and so continue In the snaking of a great
city.
It would cot be unreasonable for the
city cocncll to appropriate t&.OOO or
more for th use of Ak-Sar-Bea.
Now Mr. Taxpayer, stop and thick of
what th vaius of your property would be
without Ak-Sar-Ben. without the merchant
and hit employee. We may assert that
Omaha would lack at leatt Ih per cent of
our present population and that the other
75 per cent woui receive 25 per cent less
la earnings and still find a great lack of
steady employment.
. In closing I would say to th "Taxpayer
for thirty years" should be be Intimate
friend or brother, that with hit sentiments
ho is cot needed in Ncbrasks and would
ti-ggesi th graveyard as a most congenial
place for him. If Mr. Taxpayer was slaters
why did as not subscribe his owa same?

A race across the continent was cot one
of the features contemplated by Sbriner
In the east when they made their arrange
ment to go to San Francisco, but such a
contest it thlt week In active progress just
the same. On two special traina, over dif
ferent routes, two parties of the famous
Lulu temple of Philadelphia are pitted
against each, other in an enieavor to be
first on tbe golden shore. In order to win.
tbe party which passed through Omaha
yesterday will make the entire run In
eigbty-nlne hours, time unprecedented for
delegations.
Tbe cause of this notable struggle it also
the explanation of the failure of Philip
Shaefler of Philidelphia, Imperial potentate.
to past througn Omaha yesterday morning,
as bad been expected. At tbe last minute
Mr. Shaeffer and a score of bis temple fel
lows dexided to go west with McGee's im
perial special, which started at New York
City, carrying several Imperial officials from
that state and other Shriners.
This special left New Tork last Saturday
eight and Shaefler and his party were on It,
having run up from Philadelphia. The
train took the Baltimore Ohio South
western into St. Louis, not going to Chi
cago, and the Missouri PaciSc from there
to Kansas City. Thence it goes via the
Burlington to Denver and over the Denver
: Rio Grande westward to a Southern Pa
cific connection, which road will land it In
Frisco.
Other Luis Get Sore.
Meanwhile tbe balance of Lulu temple.
and by far the larger portion of it, did cot
leave Philadelphia till Tuesday last, coming
via Chicago and Omaha. Piqued at tbe ac
tion of tbelr fellows In deserting them, this
band resolved to beat them to 'Frisco de
spite their big start. The Chicago & North
western and Union Pacific railways were
eager to accept the plan, as they, too, would
have liked to carry Shaeffer and the rest.
and did cot-reliBh their going the other
way.
So while Shaeffer and party were making
long stops at all important cities the other
Lulus hustled right through, with the re
sult that at the Missouri river the two are
on an equal basis, and that if each carries
out its present program tbe Omaha party
will be considerably in the lead at the Rocky
mountains.
S. A. Hutchinson, general excursion agent
of the Chicago & Northwestern railway, was
in charge of the Lulus who came through
yesterday When tbe special pulled In at
10:10 a. m Mr. Hutchinson said:
"Now we'll etay here Juet fifteen minutes.
and then hustle on to Salt Lake City. We'll
beat those other Lulus Into 'Frisco twenty
four hours, and we will make the entire
Journey from Philadelphia in Just eighty-
cine hours. That meant aome phenomenal
running from here on. for we are cone too
far up on that fast a tchedule cow."
Well Pleased with Prospect.
Mr. Hutchinson is well known in Omaha,
having lived here at assistant general pas
senger agent of the Union Pacific railway.
His train yesterday comprised four cars
ind It was pulled by one of the monster
engines. "'That animal will take us along
all tight," said Mr. Hutchinson. "We can
do tricks with time with such a locomotive,
and the men have orders to cut loose."
Like all tbe Shricers that have preceded
them, the Lulus are Jolly good fellows.
During their brief stay here they were
regaled with claret punch at fast at they
could drink it. Thers were fifty of tbe
Shricers in the party, besides a great many
women. The local men who met them at
tbe station were: W. S. Wedge, H. Hardy,
Alfred Oleson, Gustav Anderson, M. A.
Hall. B. E. Wilcox. W. B. Woodman, F. S.
Brownlee. W. 8. Summers, E. Haney, Cadet
Taylor. There was cot enough time to suit
either party, but that only made things the
Jollier.

Tax matters are coming to a focus and
n a few days returns from both lbe county
and city assessors will be published. Tbe
county assessors will complete their work
on June 10 and turn In reports, while tbe
city assessment under Tax Commissioner
Fitzgerald will not be finished until June
15. Tbe county assessors will make a di
rect report to tbe clerk and the county
commissioners, while the city assessors will
submit a statement to the mayor, council
and a board of review. Under the charter
the mayor and the treasurer each has the
right to appoint one member of the board
of review and the tax commissioner makes
the third member.
At soon at the city assessment is com
pleted tbe board of review will meet and
equalise the assessment. Treasurer Howe
has not signified his preference for any
person on the board and as far as known
Mayor Koutsky has not done so. The
board will consider the assessment of Indi
viduals, receive and act upon complaints
and will have tbe authority to make any
changes deemed necessary.
When the final action of ths board is made
the tax books for the city will be made up
and then when the total valuation It an
nounced the levy will be made. At for
the valuation, that is mere conjecture, at
until the figuret are turned in even the
tax commissioner himself cannot tell what
tbe total will be. It it hoped, however,
that the valuation this year will be larger
than it hat been in tbe past in order that
the levy may be reduced.

While at tbe present time the city fire

and then some recommendations for im

the first place Chief Etter wants some new
hose. As boss is badly needed the council
will doubtless grant the request. Then
the chief will ask, or rather suggest, that
the city purchase a chemical engine. This
engine, he says, could be stationed at No.

explosions, etc., and do a great deal of
work now left to the heavier apparatus of
the department. While the levy as per
mitted by charter is cot sufficient to main

some way to secure the needed improve

President Miller of the Board cf Educa
tion said yesterday that tbe two rooms
to be built as an addition to Hawthorne
school would do away with a number of
rented rooms in tbe eastern portion of the
city and would give a great deal better
satisfaction to all concerned. It It esti
mated that tbe two rooms, which will be
constructed on the rear of the present
building, will cost about 14,000. With tbe
furnishing! the cost may run at high as
$j,0it. However, there is money on hand
to pay for the sddition, aa at the present
tims the district is in fairly good shape
financially.
Tbere is some talk of one or two addi
tional rooms at Lowell school, but Presi
dent Miller and some of tbe other mem
bers of the board do cot tbtnk that lbe
expenditure is warranted at this time. An
effort will be made to have the new rooms
at Hawthorne ready for occupancy ly the
time school opens in the fall.
Continuing; Improvement.
Officials of tbe Nebraska Telephone com
pany were in tbe city yesterday making
place for tbe construction of a cumber of
additional cables. It is tbe intention of
the company to place all of tbe principal
lines in the business part of the city in
cables this summer. These catlos will also
be extended so ss to take in quite a por
tion of the residence districts. It is re
ported that for the improvements under
contemplation ' the company will spend
something like Td,(K0 for material and
labor. At tbe present tims a number of
linemen are working on tbe rabies already
in course cf construction. Tbe Idea Is to

GREAT WORK OF RAILROADS

CHICAGO, June 6 One of the largest and
most enthusiastic gatherings ever assembled
in the main banquet hall of tbe Auditor
ium was present tonight at a dinner of the
Illinois Manufacturers' association. James
J. Hill, president of the Great Northern
railway, was the orator of the occsslon
and he closely held the attention of the
sssoclation's 400 gueats. Hit subject was,
"Commercial Expansion," the banquet be
ing in the nature of a celebration of the
prosperity pointed to by the organization
as a result of an expansion pollry.
Special significance wat given to the
topic because "Commercial Expansion, wat

In a country as large as ours, carrying
an enormous 'undertaking, large amount
of capital are necessary and this capital
can be more readily f jrnished by corporate
ownership than In any other way. The
nnlv serious objection to so-called trusts
has been the method of creating them, not
for the nurtose of manufacturing any par
tir-ulur eciTnmodlt v in the first place, but
for the purpnee of selling sheave of

more than food and prospective profit to
the- consumers. If It Is the desire of the
general government through congress to
prevent trie grow th of such corporations, tt

the same time no legitimate business would
suffer.

EAGER TO LET DOWN BARS
Members of Young Men'i Eepnblic&n Club
Wast No Age Limit.
CANNOT CARRY OUT THEIR DESIRES
Confutation Prevents Action Beraais
of Lack f Attendance of Those
Accessary- to t aat Xecdesl
Vote,
The Young Men's McKlnley club whlci
held Its regular monthly meeting at th
Millard hotel Wednesdsy eight, is con
fronted by a peculiar difficulty: It Is unable
to amend lta own conttltulion. Tbe ob
jectionable claute it as follows: "To
amend this constitution a two-thirds vote
of the club shall be necessary." There
was do doubt In tbe mlndt of those at
Wednesday night's meeting that "a two
thirds vote of those present" was Intended
by the drafters Instead of "a two-thirdt
vote of the club," but tbe objectionable
words are there, and the question cow is,
how to get them out. The club has a mem
bership of 175. At Wednesday eight's meet
ing forty-five were present, which it an
average attendance.
The meeting wat called to order by tbe
president, Frank Crawford. C. J. rhllllps
moved to amend the constitution by strik
ing out lbe age limit. As the constitution
now stands, only republicans between the
a gos of 18 and S5 are eligible to member
ship, and Mr. Phillips wanted to throw the
bars down entirely in this respect by re
moving tbe age restriction. He was re
minded that if the meeting voted unani
mously for It the change could sot be
made. H. A. Whipple moved that a com
mittee be appointed to re-draft the consti
tution, but It was decided that a redrafting
would amount to aa amendment. E. M.
Martin wanted a committee appointed to
suggest changet In the constitution. Dr.
H. A. Foster, who helped draft tbe instru
ment, said the word "club" In that con-
nectiow was a typographical error. H. P.
Loavltt was in favor of giving t smoker.
thereby getting enough of tbe members
out to strike out the word "club." Charles
ITltchard thought the fundamental law
should be entirely rewritten. John G.
Kuhn admitted that he had been secretly
gloating over the presence of that word,
since he was in favor cf keeping the or
ganization a young man's club. However,
be thought tt would be possible to get a
two-thirds vote of the entire club by send
ing to the members double postal cards, re
questing a vote by mall. Charles McDonald,
the secretary, said tbe entire instrument
seemed to have been remodelod and edited
by the stenographer who copied It upon a
typewriter.
Judge Berks said the meeting wat at
taching entirely too much Importance to
the constitution, and that there teemed to
be a disposition to exalt the creature
above the creator. Speeches were made
along similar lines by I. Zlegler, P. A.
Wells, E. C. Hodder and others, and finally,
upon motion, the chair appointed a com
mittee of five to suggest alterations la tbe
constitution, and to report at tbe next
meeting. This committee wat appointed:
H. A. Fotter, O. S. Erwin. Daniel Riley.
S. W. Bmlth and H. A. Wallche.
Nelson C. Pratt was called upon to speak,
and was greeted by hearty applauie. but
at the hour was late he excused himself
with a few brief remarks. He felicitated
the club upon its choice of a name, saying
that the came McKlnley stood for all that
is good and great in republicanism. He
closed by admonishing the club to uphold
the army, rhetber at home or abroad.
The chair announced as a topic for dis
cussion at the next meeting Senator Hoar's
speech ocllvered In tbe senate two weeks
ago on tbe subject of ths I'hilipplnet.
