FiCHT ON THE CITY CHARTER
Exported Plan to Determin Validity
Cauiti Hick CcmmiDt.
CARL HERRING SAYS RUMOR IS GENERAL
Others at City Ball Hear of the
Proposition, bat Cannot Tell
Who U Bark of
fhe Move.
A constant rumor in circulation around
th cfty hall that cannot bo traced to Its
source In that the city charter Is to be
tested soon as to its constitutionality and
the. suit Is to Iw brought on the
proposition that the school levy is Invalid
In that the estimate lor 1908 was made at a
meeting of the school board held In July,
when the school laws, which were not
amended by the charter specifies this m cl
ing shall be held In January.
Carl Herring, attorney for the school
lard. when asked about the matter said:
'"J have been hearing tlieiws rumors for
sometime and they seem to be general over
town. I don't know where the suit Is to
coma from, though it would not be aur
priring If some one brought it. While It
Is sorlous question It may be established
that the siction ot the law relating to the
time of meeting may be directory and not
oandatory."
Another View of attention.
. One who is familiar with the city charter
and the doings of the school board summed
up the proposition as follows:
"I'ndrr the school law of cities of the
metropolitan class which was not amended
by the late legislature, the board roust meet
' aunUHlly In January and estimate expenses
for the current fiscal year and certify the
I sams to the city council and the council
must make the levy. In a test case this
duty was held to be Mandatory. Vnder
this art ths si hoot board met In Januaiy.
14, and estimated the expense of the year
Hum July t, until July, li, and the
levy for tlu- amount was Included In tho
Xa cily lax. Tu uw charter provides
that the city must certifv n ...
clerk in July a lump sum which the county
Is to raise on the assessed valuation made
by tha couny assessor. Tha charter also
requires the council shall certify the
amount required for the school district.
In order to have a 1D0S school levy the
board met in July and estimated the ex
pense of the fiscal year ending July I, 1907,
and beginning July J. 1906. This was cer
tified to tbe council and by the council to
the county clerk.
"Under the school law which was not
amended did the school board have the
right to meet a second time In July, 19.
and make a levyT If H had waited until
January, la.. and the council had certified
th amount of rstlmiito made from July!
1908. under the charter It would have been
a tax for the year l:'7 and there would not
have been a levy for 19M."
One Other m Defer.
Another defect In the charter which muv
around the city hall ure talking about, but
upon which none wants to be quoted, is
the proposition that the assessment for
i.o n noi. oetn equalised. This proposi
tion Is summed up as follows: ,
I'nder tho charter the city relinquished
the rlicht to lew and coller-r Km nmn
and the intention of the charter Is the city
taxs shall be consolidated with the county
taxes. The county assessor during April and
May. a I hue durinir wlil.h the ihu.-m,.
not In force, made an assessment for iao6. J
i ne loumv Hoard or Fnm ui nn .i
equalized the 10 assessment ui.c did not
equaine ine rjw taxes and neither the city
board nor the county board was called to
equalise the 190o soscssmoi ;.
I'nder the revenue law the Board of
Equalisation must make a levy on the last
day of the session for the current year,
wtilch was 1&0B. The board on the last day
of lis session did make a levy for state and
county purposes and a school levy for' the
ensuing year 19m of Ci mills. The 1906 as
sessment mas ' not equalised and It la
claimed It cannot be equalised In the fu
ture. The law provides for a city board of
equalisation In order to follow out the pro
visions of the constitution, so all taxes
must be equalized, and It is claimed with
out this board of equalisation the property
owner lll be denied his day before the
board iand the law thus violates the constitution.

' King of L'eooomisti.
LATTER TURNS DEAF EAR TO HER PLEA
Woman front , Kansas Kindly Con
sents to Have Daughter Eds.
rated hy Seaman, Who as
Kindly Says Kay.
The tax title king of Douglas county, A.
J. Seaman. Is being mado to realize the
burden that fame incurs. Hla proud hont
of living within his means In fact, away
on tho far Inside- and the newspaper no
tices of Ms extensive operations in tax
titles, here and elsewhere, have attracted
the attention of many people In all parts
of the country. When he announced the-t
he could live on t cents a day, and after
ward revised the estimate slightly by mok
Qg 7" cents the possible limit of wise liv
ing, economists began to sit up and Inquire.
They learned little directly, however. Mr.
Seaman Is not a rushing patron of the
stamp window at the postoffice. Paper and
envelopes are free as air at the Young
Men's Christian association, but stamps
are not In reach of the band within which
Is no pennies. -
Since It has become bruited through divers
items In The Bee that Seaman can draw a
check for considerable of tbe root of all
evil, he has begun to find trouble ot .an
other kind. To Mr. Seaman's modest notion
this new trouble Is of terrible aspect. On!
Chicago widow writes with earnestness that
she Is entirely willing to assume one side
of a double harness If Mr. Seamau Is will
ing to take up the other side. He Insists
that ho Is not. He will not be so ungallaot,
though, as to permit the letter to go un
answered. The woman might come along
behind 'the letter.
Can Afford n Postal.
"I'll get a postal card," said Mr. Seaman,
"and write to thla strange person. If I
write a letter it would cost i cents, and the
government doesn't really need the money."
,A second letter that caused Mr. Seaman
to pull his hat dbwn a little further csmo
from Kansas. It Is forceful and direct, as
was to be expected. A woman living In the
noisy state writes to Mr. Seaman that she
has a daughter. Of this daughter's merit
she naturally has a high opinion, but Is not
blessed with the money to pay for the kind
of an education she would like to give the
girl. So the Kansas woman is willing to
allow Mr. Seaman to pay for her daugh
ter's education. Sho refers to a preacher
as to her character, but Mr. Seaman gives
It as his opinion that the public schools
are good enough even for Kansas girls.
"1 think people should pray and not
write letters to busy men," says the Ben
son philosopher. "I have no use for that
letter."
And he coldly turn to a big ledger to
find a lot that is carrying some small
amount of unpaid taxes out of which a
day's grub may be realized.
AID. FOR STRIKING PRINTERS
Flnanelnl Assistance Will Be Solicited
from Kvery Islos In
the City.
Every labor union In the city will be
called upon for finuncial assistance by the
printers now out on a strike.' A committee
from the printers' union will start out to
night to lay the matter before the unions,
and inasmuch as all the labor unions In
the city. Including the printers, assisted tho
machinists In their strike it is expected by
the printers that similar action will be
taken by the unions at this time.
This action Is the direct result of the at
tendance of President K. 8. Fisher of a
meeting ot the international officers and
presidents of unions In towns where the
strike is on,
"It came out at the conference," said Mr.
Fisher, "that the Industrial Alliance asso
ciation, which Is now in session In St.
Louis, was doing what it could o help the
nonunion shops, even going to the extent
of offering In some Instances $10 a week
bonus to nonunion prluters. The manu
facturers' asr.ij lion ul ho Is hoping tl.e
uonuuion shop. For chut rcasou we have
called upon all labor unions to assist the
printers' unions. Tho International union
has levied an assessment of BO cents a
week on its members, besides the levy al
ready made, and this will bring in 122,000
or JiS.OOO. A committee will start out to
night to lay tbe matter before the various
labor unions."
A number of conferences has been held
between the printers and the officers of the
Woodmen of the World relative to the or
der having literature printed at nonunion
shops. , One lodge Thursday night passed
strong resolutions denouncing this action
on the part of the officers. It Is expected
a. Mtlnfuctorv arrangement will be made
by the officers of the union and the officers
of tho lodge, but It has not been reached
yet.
POINTERS FOR BIG PLANT
Observations Made by M. K, KmttU
Men In Other Cities for Their
New Batldlne".
A.' C. Smith, president of ythe firm of M.
E. Smith & Co.; Ward Burgess, vice presi
dent; Thomas I Kimball, architect, and
Attorney L. E. Crofoot returned Friday
morning from Kansas City and St. Louis,
where they have been inspecting wholesale
houses and factories in order to secure In
formation which will guide them In the
erection of the mammoth building which
M. E. Smith & Co. will build at Ninth and
Far nam streets. Mr. Smith said:
"We visited all the buildings In the two
cities in which wo were interested, confer
ring with managers and architects, and
getting information of value to us. On
buildings mhich require such large Invest
ments as the one to be built for us time
used in preparation Is well spent. We are
not through yet, for next week some time
we expect to go to Minneapolis and visit
some modern factories and warehouses
there.
"The arcldtect has not begun on tbe
plans. I do not think the erection of the
building can be begun until early spring,
though It is probable that the excavation
will be done this full. It all depends on
lh weather."
BALDWINS MAY COME WEST
Eig Locomotive Wtrki Rumored to Ee
Hnniiig Htw Location.
OMAHA ONE OF THE POSSIBLE .PLACES
Plattsmonth, St. Joseph and Kansas
City, Kansas, Also Are
Said to Be on tho
List.
Persisteiyi riimors have been circulating
here fhat the Baldwin Locomotive works of
Philadelphia is coming west to. secure more
loom and to be nearer the center of tho
1'nlted States The officers of the plant. It
is said, have deiidod to locate in some city
along the Missouri river, and among the
towns mentioned are Omaha, Plattsmouth,
St. Joseph and Kansas City, Kan.
Railroad men in Omaha claim to know
nothing of this matter, but think it is a
possibility. The west is calling for engines
faster than they can be turned out by the
eastern plants und many more will be
needed In the near future when all of the
new linos now In course of construction are
put in operation. General Manager llolil
?ugo of the P.urllngton disclaimed any
knowledge of this report.
The Baldwin works has always been
classed as a non-union Institution. It has
supplied numbers of engines to western
roads within the la few years. Just about
the time the big t'nlon Pacific shop strike
began In June, 1902, and during Its progress,
covering a year, this company sent seventy
one locomotives to that road.
Recognition hy All Systems...
General Manager Holdrege verified the
report from Chicago that th Burlington
had recognized the Brotherhood of lo
comotive Engineers and had signed the
first wage schedule with the organization
since tho memorable strike in Mr.
Holdrege said:
"The men had no grievance and asked
for no change from the schedule which
we were paying except in a few minor
Instances ou branch lines whiuu con
cession we granted, ss we saw that was for
the betterment of the service. We met
them In Chicago a week or so ago and
have decided to sign the schedule which
they ask, and which is tbe same aa w
have been paying. The schedule was
signed by the officers of the Burlington
road and by the general committee of the
brotherhood It applies to the wholo
Burlington system."
Railway Notes nnd Personnls,
General Manager and Mrs. George Bid
well left Friday morning for Chicago.
The Northwestern has completed twenty
