The reciprocal demurrage bill which Is
now before the Nebraska legislature Is
stirring up the small shippers all over the
state. TT - profess to see In the bill a
great 'chance for the . larger shippers to
monopolise, all the oars to tha exclusion of
the smaller dealers. This Is a case where
the . small shippers and the nil roads are
united, for . neither side wants the bill
paused. The Chicago Commercial aasocla-
tlon has ref used to give Its approval to
the bill In .Illinois, and Interstate Com
merce Commissioner Lane, who Is acting
with Commissioner Clark In the matter of
car shortage, has said;
"The principle at the base of reciprocal
demurrage has not been demonstrated,, and
IX, oongress ,-were'Vto pass" a bill of that
character It might have the effect of dis
turbing Injuriously local commerce. . '
His statement Ja taken as Implying that
' If a state were to pass such, a bill It
would affect Interstate business, which 'In
Nebraska la 8S per cent of the entire busi
ness of the' railroads. .
Blsr Fellows Coold Rale.
Small shippers declare It was shown to
the legislative committee at Lincoln that
several of the large grain firms could tie
up tha entire business of the railroads for
six months, to the exclusion of all smnlt
shippers, , and at the same time be col
lecting enough In demurrage charges to
allow tha owners to retire at tha end of
that tfrrt Immensely rich. '
Opponents to the bill point nut Nebraska
produces annually 87S.O0O.00O- bushels of
grain, 8.000,000 bushels of potatoes, 1,000,000
tons of hay and 7,000,000 head of live stock,
embracing hogs,, cattle, horses and sheep.
About 75 per cent of the grain moves with
out the borders of the state, and also a like
percentage of the other commodities named.
The Burlington serves 561 elevators, of
which sixty-two are controlled by farmers
and the remainder by Individuals and cor-1
poratlons.
Elevators on the Burlington have a ca
pacity of over 18.000.000 bushels of grain, or
over 18,000 carloads. By the provisions of
the reciprocal demurrage bill the line ele
vators, it Is contended, have a great chance
to monopolise cars. These elevators have
a loading capacity of 4.4S8 cars per day.
drain Is often held for a reduction In rates
or for a raise In price, and .In- either of
these events, under the proposed law, or
ders may be placed In a single day for
sufficient equipment to empty these ele
vators Immediately or for 16,000 cars,
which, It Is asserted, would be out of the
Question for any road to fill.. If 50 per
cent of these orders could be filled within
the specified time, it would cost the rail
roads over 840,000 a day, , or In five days
over 8300,000, the theorists explain.

"The bill provide It shall be the duty of
the railroad to supply such - cars In the
order In which applications are made with
out giving preference to any shipper," says
a railroad man opposing the measure. "In

"The same advantages may be seised by

of Per.
It Is probable the Nebraska Hardware
association, now In convention, will take
action regarding House Roll M, Introduced
In the legislature recently by Represen
tative Scudder of Hall county. This bill
proposes new laws on exemption. After
listening to an address by Harry Fischer
of Omaha, an officer of the Nebraska Retail
Merchants' association, the convention In
structed Its resolutions committee to draft
resolutions favoring the bill and suitable
for presentation to members cf the legis
lature. This committee's report will be
brought In Thursday.
The bill, according to Mr. Fischer, pro
poses to cut down neneral exemption from
8500 to 8300, to eliminate many of the specific
exemptions provided for by present laws,
and allow exemption of wages tor a speci
fied time only to the amount of 75 per cent.
R. W. Weaverllng or Peru spoke the
subject of parcels posts, declaring the mall
order houses would be the thief beneficiar
ies of such a system, and warning the
merchants that any point which the cat
houses might gain by legislation at the
present session of congress would be but
a stepping stone for further legislation In
their favor. He said the parcels post sys
tem would centralise capital, Industry and
population, and merchants . should take
every opportunity to educate the farmers
to this Idea.
One Way to Flight Hoosee
Mr. Weaverllng suggested one plan for
fighting the catalogue houses. Reminding
the merchants that on them the manufac
turers are dependant and the advertising
men on the merchants, .he said' the adver
tising man should be given to see that
their efforts In lending publicity to the
mall order houses would be Inimical to
their own Interests. . He left the obvious
deduction that the merchants could work
through the manufacturers to control the
activity of advertising agencies.
M. A. Hargeroad of Holsteln suggested
that some plan be evolved by which the
merchants might have a record of Jobbers
who sell sometimes direct to consumers.
No action was taken.

sums. The bill also opens the way to. the
railroads for a gigantic system of rebating
which would be hard to detect. .
'The law would Increase the burdens of
the shippers and would not be fair to the
railroads, which ar trying, by a free Inter
change of equipment within the state, to
avoid congestions; and delay and to ob
tain the greatest possible efficiency of the
rolling stock.
Waat No Stock Idle.
"The railroads maintain It should be ap
parent to all that there would be no In
clination on their part 'to permit any of
their rolling stock to remain idle and lose
business . which might be secured. They
claim th great prosperity of the 'country
alone is responsible for the shortage, a all
rolling stock Is taxed to the limit.
"The claim Is made that reciprocal de
murrage would be worse in Nebraska than
In tha manufacturing states, because of the
nature of the traffic and because of the
number of cars It Is possible to load on
short notice, while In manufacturing cen
ters the actual need of the shippers may
be more readily determined. Beoaue of the
nature of the business In this state It ia a
common practice for large shippers to order
ears far In excess of what they need In
order to crowd out the email dealers and
they could then charge the railroads with
the failure to deliver the cars.
"The bill also provides that cars should
average seventy miles per day, and )t was
shown to the legislative commute that
cars other than thoa used for live1 stock
and perishable average but twenty-live per
day for the United States, although that
has been Increased somewhat In Nebraska.

general program of the convention. The
attendance Is not as large a could have

QUARTER MILLION FOR MANUAL TRAINING
Wants Member to Cultivate th

Lines of Progress In
Ednentlon
David Cole, president of the Board of
Education appeared before the Real Estate
exchange Wednesday to do some missionary
work for the Omaha public school system,
the object being the expansion of the sys
tem In gentral, the establishment of a com
prehetatve manual training department and
the erection within a few years of an addi
tion to the high school for manual training
to cost $50,000. This Improvement could not
come at once, he said, but Its ultimate
achievement wss Inevitable, and he wanted
to begin preparing the public mind for the
necessary Increase In appropriations for
school purposes. Mr. Cole had no argu
ments to offer, but he asked the real estate
men to begin thinking along the lines he
suggested.
Legal Rat on Bales.
. The ex mang discussed a letter from a
Falls City realty firm, suggesting that the
exchange open a .fight In the legislature
for the establishment of a legal rate of
commission on real estate, and a law to
eompel the payment of such commissions
in cases where the agent has verbal con
tract with the . owner. W. L. Belby re
marked that he tried to have Introduced
at the last session of the legislature a bill
with such provisions, but he got not even
so much a a pleasant look. Several other
members rained objections to the course
suggested by the Falls City man, and the
matter was dropped.
Chairman Hastings Of the entertainment
committee announced the exchange would
hold Its annual banquet in the Commercial
club rooms on the evening of February 21.

makes gas for Philadelphia, the same one
which, does business In Omaha, paid th
city of Philadelphia 1187,000 as Its tenth of

One of tho Important Duties of. Physicians and
the WeU-Informed of the World
is to learn as to the relative standing and reliability of the leading manufacture .
ers of medicinal agents, as the most eminent physicians are the most careful as to
the uniform quality and perfect purity of remedies prescribed by them, and it is well
known to physicians and the Well-Informed generally that the California Fig Syrup
Co., by reason of its correct methods and perfect equipment and the ethical character of '
its product has attained to the high standing in scientific and commercial circles which
is accorded to successful and reliable houses only, and, therefore, that the name of the
Company has become a guarantee of the excellence of its remedy. ...
TRUTH AND QUALITY
appeal to the Well-Informed in every walk of life and are essential to permanent suc
cess and creditable standing, therefore we wjsh to call the attention of all who would
enjoy good health, with its blessings, to the fact that it involves the question of right
living with all the term implies. With proper knowledge of what is best each hour
, of recreation, of enjoyment, of contemplation and of effort may be made to contribute
to that end and the use of medicines dispensed with generally to great advantage, but
as in many instances a simple, wholesome remedy may be invaluable if taken at the
proper time, the California Fig Syrup Co. feels that it is alike important to present
truthfully the subject and to supply the one perfect laxative remedy which has won
the appoval of physicians and the world-wide acceptance of the Well-Informed because
of the excellence of the combination, known to all, and the original method of manufac
ture, which is known to the California Fig Syrup Co. only,
This valuable remedy has been long and favorably known under the name of
Syrup of Figs and has attained to world-wide acceptance as the most .excellent of
family laxatives, and as its pure laxative principles, obtained from Senna, are well
known to physicians and the Well-Informed of the world to be the best of natural
laxatives, we have adopted the more elaborate name of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of
Senna as more fully descriptive of the remedy, but doubtless it will always be
called for by the shorter name of Syrup of Figs and to get its beneficial effects always
note, when purchasing, the full name of the Company California Fig Syrup Co.
plainly printed on the front of every package, whether you simply call for Syrup of
Figs or by the full name Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna as Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of Senna is the one laxative remedy manufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. and the same heretofore known by the name Syrup of Figs which has given
satisfaction to millions. The genuine is for sale by all leading druggists throughout
the United States in original packages of one size only, the regular price of which
is fifty cents per bottle. ....
Every bottle is sold under the general guarantee of the Company, filed with the
Secretary of Agriculture, at Washington, D. C, that the remedy is not adulterated or
misbranded within the meaning of the Food and Drugs Act, June 30th, 1006.
