lAUen, a member of the Board of Regents
cf ' the University of Nebraska, has ap
pealed to the district court of Lancaster
county from the decision of Auditor Searle
refuting to issue the warrant for the un
expended balanco of tin- appropriation for
the construction of the administration
building at the university. The voucher
was filed with Auditor Eearle this morning
and he at once refused to Issue the warrant.
Allen then appealed to the district court.
It is understood that the decision of the
lower court Insofar as this case k concerned
will be final and that no appeal will be
taken to the aupreme court. The appropri
ation was made by the legislature of 1903
and there still remains unexpended la. the
neighborhood of 120,000. The building Is
tinder course of construction, but lacks con
siderable of being completed. Auditor
dearie has Issued the warrant for the
normal school appropriation and will hold
the same until the work Is completed.
Attorney General Brown has completed
lite answer to the petition of the Mutual
Reserve Life Insurance company, which
secured an order restraining the Insurance
department from Interfering with their
agfnta. The answer will be (lied probably
this week and In It the request Is made
that the restraining order be modified.
Ofllrtal Ob J eels to Pass Evil.
At one county convention yet to be held
a resolution will be introduced condemning
the action of people out In the state asking
tata o (Beers tor transportation, and it will
go along with the resolution demanding the
republican state convention to Insert an
anti-pass plank In Its platform. One state
officer who has been In office less than a
year has received and has on (Tie over !00
letter asking for transportation for his
constituents. Secretary of State Qalusha
aid:
"I am constantly receiving requests from
my constituents for transportation and the
practice should be stopped. If I don't
secun the' transportation I lose a friend
and If t do I put myself under obligations
to the railroads. Now I have no doubt that
most ( the county conventions will adopt
anti-pas platforms and state officers who
ride on passes will be condemned. That Is
all right. 1 have no abjections to that, but
I want my convention to go further and
resolute against parties asking state officers
for transportation. It is not right and
the practice should be stopped. When I
gc back from Portland I found ten requests
for transportation on my desk. Now what
Is a man to do? Incidentally, I am keeping
those letters."
I.ltlle Politics la Dodsre.
Former Senator Reynolds of Dodge
county was In Lincoln last night on private
business and hearing what he could hear
about politics. Mr. Reynolds said there was
very little talk of candidates to be named
at the coming convention In his part of the
country. "Among the farmers I find the
sentiment Is very much In favor of Su
preme Court CommlsHloner Letton for su
preme Judge. What Dodge county will do
In Its convention, of course, I do not know,
but there Is no doubt In my mind that the
farming element In the rank and (lie of the
county favor Judge Letton."
Senator Reynolds sold the railroad tax
suits came as a surprise to him, as he was
a member of the revenue committee which
framed the revenue law, and that It was his
Impression that the railroads were well
pleased with that law and had no protest
against any of Its provisions. Incidentally
he remarked that the railroads were not
over-taxed.
Farmers Like New Method,
Many of the rural correspondents of the
labor bureau who are sending In estimates
of the crop yields have expressed In their
reports their approval of the plan recently
adopted by the bureau for gathering statis
tics. A number of them say that the fig
ures thus compiled will counteract the er
roneous figures and estimates sent out by
boards of trade and price manipulators. In
asmuch as the statistical clerk has ten
rural correspondents In each county there
Is no doubt that the forthcoming estimate
of crop yields will be the most accurate
ever made by' the department.

"With regard to the proposition of Tax
Commissioner Fleming to the council to
be allowed to deal In and barter scavenger
sale certificates," said County Treasurer
Fink Wednesday morning, "I want to ask
this question: Is there any connection be
tween Mr. Fleming's proposition and tha
fact that the city attorney's office has se
cured an order of court cutting the face
value of eighty-seven pieces ot land from
14,63.35 to 1831.50?
"Another point that might be dwelt on
with some Interest Is that a big majority
of the lots on which the court reduced the
value are owned by one man or one Inter
est. The bidding on all these pieces was
open and above board and the bids were
freely made. They were considered reason
able and, as I have said before. If this
method of changing the face value of any
certain group of certificates can be resorted
to It can with equal Justice be applied to
all the certificates. Suppose this bidding
was done under a misapprehension, then in
my opinion the proper way to do would be
to have the court declare the proceeding
void as to this property and again offer It
at open public sale.
Certificates ia Demaad,
'The facts on record In this office show
that there la no need for Mr. Fleming or
anybody else to start a hawking game on
these certificates. Up to August 29 this
office has assigned to private Individuals
certificates representing 117. 678.73, while at
the same time there have been redemptions
to the amount of lli.7tl.il on certlfle&tna
owned by the ctty and county.
"These figures would indicate that we
have been doing soms business In these
Certificates and that It la hardly necessary
to go peddling them at less than their faco
value and Interest, which the law plainly
says shall not be done.
"Some time ago there was an assertion
from Mr. Fleming that the city had 1100,000

fact Is the figure Is nearer 3200,000.

The reports of the meeting at which
Fleming's offer to engage In certificate

was to act generally as the city's repre

der why? The law Is explicit In saying
they shsll not be sold for less than their
face value, plus the Interest fixed by law.
To my mind there must be something In
this matter thit does not appear upon
the surface.
"Some time ago, when the tax commis
sioner Indicated that time was hanging
heavy on his hands I suggested to him
that he might correspond with parties
Interested In the property covered by the
certificates, tell them the status of the
case and thus probably get them to come In
and redeem. That would be more legal
and proper than this attempt to get the
city council to override the state law by
pretending to authorise a proceeding
against the spirit and the letter of the
