THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: WEDNESDAY, AFRIL 4. 1P06. 4 DEFECTS OF PRIMARY LAW . County Attorney SUbaneh Baji Filine Tm Woulil Help Some, NORMAL BUILDING NOT UP TO CONTRACT Architect Finds Faalt with Qaallty of Stone Rather Thaa Contractor Who Performed Work oa BnUJInc. (From a Staff Correspondent.) IJNCOLN, April . (Special.) County At torney Slnbaugh of Douglas county, who waa her today attending supreme court, la anxious that the next legislature tlnil soma legal way whereby a fee can be charged for filings under the primary elec tion law. "Nearly everyon In Omaha was glad when the aupreme court knocked out that provision which provided a fee ahould be charged candidates for filing their names. But it aoon developed Ulat It would be much better were the fee charged, even though It Is only a small fee. Many can didates announced themselves, because It cost them nothing and gave them an op portunity to ret before the public and re curs free advertinlng. "Were a fee of only 18 or S10 charged It would causa a lot of these people to hesl tats a long time before announcing them selves. Many of -the candidates do not ex pect an election and I feel sure they an nounced themselves merely to get their names In the papers. This could have been prevented by a small filing fee. Of course, the fee made the primary law unpopular, but the large number of candidates will also tend to do that unless there la some way to put a atop to every man who wants little advertising having his name put on tha ticket" ' After delivering himself of the above Judge Blabaugh took a look around the su preme court rooms and said: "The newspapers should advocate the adoption of a constitutional amendment pro viding for an increase In the pay of state officers. Just think of It, the attorney gen eral gets only 12,000 a year. As county attorney of Douglas county I receive more salary than that. Parties from other states who come here and learn we only pay our attorney general )2,000 wonder If that Is the caliber of tnen we elect to such offices. Tha stats of Nebraska should pay Its of ficers higher salaries." Kornsal Ballots Rejected. Tha State Normal school at Kearney Is not yet ready to be accepted by the State Normal board, though about all the work on the building has been completed. Some time ago the board rejected the building because Architect Berllnghof refused to re port that It had coma up to the specifica tions set out In the contract. The contrac tors were then given more time in which to make the changes demanded. Mr. Ber llnghof will make another report to the board next Monday and It Is understood he will again recommend the structure be rejected. Mr. Berllnghof said the fault was not so much with the contractors as with tha men who furnished tha stone for the building. He will recommend that the board go after these firms and compel them to coma up to the specifications. , tato Lota Contrasts, The State Board of Purchase and Sup plies concluded its work this afternoon. No coal bids were considered as all the state Institutions are supplied at this time, loe. which last ycir was bought for the state- house for 16 a ton, was contracted for at $10 a ton today. It will be furnished by a Lincoln firm, which was the only bidder. Saloon Cases Not Arcstl, - The Omaha saloon cases were not argued In the supreme court this morning as had been anticipated, as none of the lawyers in terested, who asked for the argument, was present and the court merely ordered the case submitted in briefs. This Is the case In which Elmer E. Thomas, attorney for the Civic Federation, seeks to have a num ber of the saloons closed pending a decision In . a case where he is seeking to have licenses revoked. One of the questions to be settled Is who will have to pay for tha transcript of ths testimony In the bearings on protests before the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners. At the next sitting of the court will be argued the light of the county assessor of Douglas county to assess business colleges. County Attorney Slabaugh holds if these , commercial colleges are exempt from tax ation then it will be necessary to exempt dancing schools and other schools of a like nature. ' ' Toatla Rlaht of School Board., The supreme court has been called upon to decide whether a school board has the authority to expel a pupil from a school without first granting a hearing to the child and notifying the parents of its contem plated action. The case has come up from Merrick county and - It has been In the courts since 1904, when the school board of District No. I expelled Edith Englehardt. John T, Englehardt, father of the girl, brought mandamus suit and forced the board to allow the child to attend tha school. A rehearing was asked for and It was contended mandamus was not the proper proceedings and, further, that, the father of tha girl ahould have appealed to the courts from the decision of the board THE NEW 1906 Spring Overcoat- I The suit style is father to'the Overcoat style. ' Because the sack roat is longer, the overcoat is longer this year. Because the sack roat flares at the back-bottoms, the new spring: Overcoat flares also.

The girl was expelled November 1, 1904. but went back to school November 16 under the protection of the mandamus. The father of the girl contended there should have been a hearing on the charges brought against the girl. Mandamna Against School Board. Attorney General Brown late this after noon filed a petition In the supreme court for a mandamus to compel the Lincoln Bchool board to permit the children of Gov ernor Mickey to attend the Lincoln public schools without paying tuition. The board has ruled that state officers voting else where have no legal residence here and consequently their children must pay tu itlon as nonresidents. Ths governor has four children attending school. Several days ago the board refused to allow them to continue until the governor paid the tuition. Other state officers, including the attorney general, will be affected by ths re sult of tha suit.
