FINK PROTESTS UN CUTTING
VOTING MACHINES FOR OMAHA
Maaafaetarere Aaeat Writes to Bee
to Eaplala Some Thing In Con
nection with Contract.
A letter has been received by The Bee
from A. C. Powers, state agent for the
United States Standard Voting machine,
written at Lincoln, explaining how the ma
chines were offered to Lancaster county for
$600, whereas $IS0 wa charged in the recent
equipment of Douglas county. The 50 dif
ference Is due to a difference In the sizes
of the machines, those sold to Douglas
county providing for forty candidates for
any one party and those submitted to Lan
caster county for P'M only thirty candidates.
Assurance is given also that the machines
will ba shipped to Omaha ia time for dem
onstration at every polling place primary
dayT September 18. Mr. Powers says:
When the company's proposition was
made last year it named two prices to
Omaha and Douglas oounty, to-wlt: For
thirty candidates to each political party,
touO each; for forty raiulidates to each polit
ical party, tf0 each.
It was found, and the Joint committee so
recommended, that a machine that would
provide forty candidates for each purty was
needed In Douglu county, the highest num
ber of candidates ever appearing In any
one year ujion the official ballot of a single
party being thirty-three. In Lancaster
county the maximum has been twenty
three. For the reason that a thirty-candidate
machine is ample the proposition was
made to Ivtncaeter county on that machine.
The impression that we have not been
treating Omaha exactly as we have treated
other cities is wrong.
In regard to Instruction of voters on ma
chines, will say that the machines will be In
Omaha In ample time to have them placed
In the reglatrstion booths, so that every
voter appearing on September 1 can be
Instructed. S. C. Hamilton and myself will
f;lve this our personal attention, arriving
n Omaha between the 12th and the 15th
for that purpose. We shall do everything
In our power to have the Douglas couuly
voters thoroughly familiar with the ma
chine before election, and Mr. Hamilton's
long experience In that line will be of great
advantage in getting results.
County Treasurer Says Reducing Prices at
Scavenger Tax Sale ii Bad.
SAYS CITY HAS NO SPECIAL RIGHTS
Objects to Fleming's rian of llackter-
Ingr Certificates, Insisting;
City and County Are
Coequols.
County Treasurer Fink appeared before
the members of the city council in com
mittee Monday afternoon to protest against
the action of the city attorney's office in
securing an order from Judge Troup re
ducing tho prices at which a number of
pieces of property were bid In at sca.-engtjr
tax en le. Hie city's representative bid in
these lots at figures ranging from tJO to
i0. In round figures. The order Issuvd by
Judge Troup on reuuest of Assistant City
Attorney Herdman cut the prices down to
as low as 11, and from that up to I6.S0.
The county treasurer takes the position
that If this can be done on the part of tha
city it cur. also be done on behalf of private
purchasers. This he will not for a mo
ment admit, and h wants the city authori
ties to understand just where ho stand
and what he proposes to fight for. Mr.
Fink contends that both the city and,
county legal depaitments have held all
aiojg since the scavenger law has been In
operation that the city and county bland
in exactly the same position as the private
purchaser under the scavenger law. If he
can the county treasurer wants to main
tain a consistent rule until the Ilnlstt f
the scavenger sales.
Takes Issue with Fleming;.
County Treasurer Fink also takes decided
Issue with Tax Commissioner Fleming's
plan for handling certificate by mean of
private barter. He says:
"Under the law assignments of these cer
tificates can be made only by indorsement
of the county treasurer In his official capac
ity. No other person whatever haa any
right to authorise assignments, and I do
not propose to give my Indorsement In any
form to Fleming's proposed huckstering of
these certificates. The interest of the city
is the Interest of tho county In this mat
ter. They are coequal In every respect.
This office. In protecting the Interest of
the county has all through made It a point
to protect the interest of the city at every
turn. We have done this in every in
stance and will continue to do ao. Neither
Mr. Fleming or any other person can
usurp the duties of the county treaaurer."

Omnha would have stood a fair show of
getting the League of American Munici
palities convention for 19f If Chicago had
not entered the race, according to City En
gineer Rosewater, who was this city's sole
representative at the meeting at Toledo
last week. Mr. Rosewater made a speech
tutllnlng the advantage of this city. He
had secured the promise of Chicago' sup
port If that city decided not to try for th
convention, bnt the commercial organlza-
clon of the Windy City arrived Intent on
carrying the day.
On the flrst ballot for a 19o8 convention
place Omaha stood fourth on a list In
cluding a large number of Important
cities.
About fiOO delegate from the larger
cities attended the meeting, which Mr.
Rosewater thinks wan a derided success.
He had one of the big papers read before
the convention. It was on asphalt pave
ments and has been printed In The i?ee.
It was discussed by former Mayor Head of
Nashville, Tenn., who 1 now an attorney
for th Bltultthlc company. Mr. Head at
tempted to attack asphalt in favor of
bltulithlc and the city engineer took the
opposite side.
Conclusion Confirmed.
"My conclusions that. Omaha In spending
about two and one-half times what it
should by cleaning the streets by flushing
with hose were confirmed," said the engi
neer. "I And the flushing wagons winch
I advocated are In successful and economi
cal use In a great many cities. Progres
sive municipalities have discarded the hy
drant flushing and are using the wagons or
machines, as they are called. I was
told by a representative of the firm
that makes the wagons that he visited
Omaha and waa told by a high city official
that nothing that would eliminate the use j
of men on the street would be permitted
here.
"Any assertions that our sewer are not
constructed so a to permit the use of
flushing wagons is rot. Are we to under
stand that no sewer are needed when
cleaning 1 done by a stream from a hose,
that ruins the pavement and Is very costly,
without taking the destruction Into con
sideration? "The sewers are all right. It Is the
game of politics that Is keeping them out
of Omaha."
