Board Directly Respen. slble for It. LINCOLN. April SO. (Special.) The Btate Railway, 'commission will makt a schedule of rates for all railroads In Nebraska on May T. A circular was sent out bj the commission today to all the railroads noti fying them of this fact and calling their attention to the' law which requires the roads to file their schedules of rates with the commission. This has not been done, but the circular calls attention to the pen alty provided for a failure to do this. Tho circular Is as follows: Whereas, Section five of the railway cnmmlnaton act makes It the duty of this commission to fix a schedule and classifi cation of rates and charges for the trans portation of freight, etc., between the dif ferent polqtn wltnln this state; and Whereas, The said law requires the 'com mon carrier doing business In this stnte to rile with this commission on or before April J7, 1907, all freight and passenger approve an appropriation for liO.noo. Oould of Greeley, who was a member of the senate finance committee, suggested cutting the appropriation to fS.onfi, and he suc ceeded In grttlr.g the committee to rec ommend this amount. Again the governor sent -word-to the Kearney lobbyists that they could not get more than IVi.ooO. Luther P. Luddcn, a member of the State Normal board. Insisted that the Kearney member accept liAflno. A meeting of the Normal board was held and the appropriation was discussed. At this meeting Ludden rec ommended ths $.v,oo, but' Oregg and Thomas would not stand for It. but ar gued thnt If they could get the bill through not for what we have used, but lor what we )Hve wasted. For the nation as for ths man or womsn snd the boy or girl, the road to success is the right ue of what we have and the Improvement of present opportunities. If you neglect to prepare youisell now tor the dunes and renponslbllitles which will tall upon you later; II you do not learn the tnmgs which you will need to know when your school days are over, you will sulier the consequences. So any nation which In Its youth lives only for the day, reaps without sowing, and consumes with out, husbanding, must expect the penalty of the prodigal, whose labor could with difficulty find him the hare means of life. A people without children would face a hopeless future; a country without trees Is almost as helpless; forests which are so used that they cannot renew themselves will soon vanish, and with them all their benefits. A true forest la not merely a , the legislature Governor Sheldon would ' . . i .... i a ivn it r iha nnnnnft eoiiciiaiion rrii . VT . t. n .n,l Thomas ! storehouse full of wood, but, as It were, a .o. ........ ,..,... - factory of wood, and at the same time a reservoir of water. When you help to preserve our forests or to plant new ones were then asked to put the appropriation In two Items, but they refused to do this, because, they said, the governor would likely veto one of them. The bill was then log rolled through the senate and went' to the s-oTernor. It was necessary for him to cut out ISrt.OOO. and he did. the normal appropriation being In the list." How Board Members Feel. As to whether the Normal school needed the 1100.000 or not. the members of the State Normal School boarr" are the best j Judges. Member McBrlen, state su j perlniendent. was for ' a bill carrying J PA 000. Rev. Mr. Iudden, another mem- ber of the board,, was In favor of the appropriation for fBO.ooo and urged Oregg and Thomns to accept thnt amount. schedules, classification, rates, ' tariffs and i other member of the board, so far as the records show, waji here looking after the larger appropriation. Gregg was ths only one who made a flght for It Hon. Peter Mortensen. for four years n member of the board, was opposed to the $100,000 and publicly said $15,000 would be sufficient for the needs of the school. Members of thethouse understood the governor would veto the appropriation if It were over 160,030. and It Is the general belief that It could never have passed the house, and senate except for the public Information that the governor would not approve the measure. It was eeml-publlc property that the Kear ney member of the board expected Norris Brown to Influence the'govemor to change His mmd. That the Kearney people may know how charges used by said common carrier and In effect January l, 1907; and Whereas, Tills commission Is not.yet ad vised as. to the intrastate rates Tiow In force In this state; and Whereas, It is Impossible to make a re adjustment or revision of the rates, etc.. In this atate, txeept after ascareful examina tion and study of the question; and ' For the purpose of, complying with the law and 'n order to establish a basis for future action by this commission; Notice Is hereby given to all common carriers and shippers doing business within ths state of Nebraska that the Railway Commission of Nebraska will, on the 7th dny of May, OT. at Its office In Lincoln, Nebraska, ' consider the question of fixing rates, schedules, classifications, tariffs and charges for the transportation of merchan dise, property, messages, etc., by the Com mon carriers between points within the state of Nebraska and will then adopt the schedules, ilaaslflcattons. rates, tariffs and charges used hy the common carriers In Nebraska betVeen points In Nebrsska and In effect January 1, 1S07, with such modi fications as may be deemed necessary, un less good and sufficient reason for other aetlon Is established. ' , Attention .Is also tailed to sub-section C) of section li of the said act, which provides that It shall be unlawful for any railway company or common carrier to charge any rate, schedule, or classification ' until application has been made to the railway commission and permission' had for that purpose. Any railway company or common carrier violating this provision shall be deemed gallty of a misdemeanor, and on , conviction thereof shall be fined In any sum not exceeding ten thousand (110,010) dollar. Limits Passes to Attorneys. In an opinion given to the county attor ney of Cass county Attorney General Thompson today held that It Is unlawful Under the nntl-pasa law for an attorney employed less than half of his time by a railroad to receive free transportation, even though he Is subject to call at any time by the corporation and It has first call on Ms services. He holds that the Intent of the legislature was to prevent anyone not exempted Yrom the provisions of the law from receiving transportation at less than tho rates charged the general public. Kearney Mea to Blame. ' Inasmuch bs some people at Kearney be came 1 so Incensed at the action of Gov ernor Sheldon In vetoing the normal school appropriation of $85,000 that they hanged the editor of the Kearney Democrat In effigy because he upheld the chief execu tive of the state In his action, It Is be lleved here that the people of Kearney are not acquainted with the facts In the case and , they are venting their anger on the wrong person, and therefore the (acts should be published and ths blame placed on C. H. Oregg and A. O. Thomas, who were In reality the men who kept Kearney from getting an appropriation. One who was here during the entire legislature and kept close tab on this particular measure gave the following history of the Kearney bllli "The bill as Introduced carried an appro priation of $100,000 and t passed the house. All of this time Gregg and Thomas were in Lincoln working for the bill. When It reached the senate Governor Sheldon pub licly stated he would not permit any ap propriation to go through In excess of the estimated revenue of the state and that he would not sign a bill carrying $100,000 for the Kearney normal. He did say publicly, however, and be said It to Gregg and Thorn aa, or cne of them, that he would 5u are acting the part of good citlsens. The value of forestry deserves, therefore, to Vie taught In the schools, which aim to make good cltlxens of you. If your Arbor day exercises help you to realise what benefits each one of you receives from the forests and how, by your assistance, these benefits may continue, they will serve a good end. Telephone Company Incorporates. The Independent Telephone company of Omaha filed Its articles of Incorporation with the secretary of state this afternoon. Its capital stock la $5,000,000 and the filing feo was $2,502, one of the largest. If not the largest, fees ever paid for filing cor poration articles In Nebtaska. The Incor porators are F. 11.

Bonds may be Issued by the board of di rectors, three of whom shall be bona fide residents of Omaha. Tremble of the Tiara Tree. Governor Sheldon today rabbed hold of the plum tree and shook and shook and shook, and a big crowd was close around watching, as a downpour was expected. It was -a nice little plum that fell, and It dropped to Mrs. J. C. F. McKesson. It was to be a member of the visiting board to the Industrial school at Mil ford, a posi tion she now holds.

Every Isblet stamped ."CCC." t a member or tne tstaie nmmm ou. board ffels about the veto, the following statement from Superintendent McBrlen is published: "It mle-M not be out of place here to call attention to what the state has done for the State Normal school at Kearney as compared with what It has done for the Btate Normal at Peru. The legislature of 1003 appropriated $60,000 for a normal achool building at Kearney; In 1906 $15,000 for a heating plant there, making a total .of $fio,0OO. The propoaal of the citlsens of Kearney to the Board of Education of the State Normal schools to locate the new State Normal school there contained the following subsidy: (a) Twenty-acre site, $10,000; (b) Green Terrace building, $50,000; (c) Repairing Green Terrace buUding. $1,000; (d)Water right from Lake Kearney, $10,000; (e) Saving to state for sewer system and water mains, $20,000, total $91,000. Tho members of the -executive committee, speak lng fof the citlsens of Kearney, IrV. their proposal said: , 'This amount i$!l,00Cl being a conservative estimate of the coit to the state for providing these necessary essen tials.' This $01,000, plus $66,000. makes $15, 000, amount of the state's property in the State Normal school at Kearney." "In the beginning of Peru, Mount Vernon hall, built In 1866 by subscriptions amount ing to $8,000, and a site valued at about $1,000,- were given to the stat when tne normal" school waa established there a year later. The appropriations by the state have been as follows: (a) In 18C, for completion of dormitory already started by subscrip tion. $10,CO0; (b) In 1872, north wing main hiiii.iinr 128.000: ic . In. 1873. power house. $3,000; (d) In 1877, library building, frame, $1&,000; (e) In 1885, south wing main build ing, $20,000; (f) in 1897, dormitory to replaoe old one destroyed by fire, $20,000; (g) in 1903, new chapel, $42,500; (h) in lu6. new library. $32,000; (I) In 1905, remodeling old library for science hall, $2,800; (J) In 1907. heating plant. $26,000; total. Including site and Origi nal Mount Vernon hall. $207,300. Comparison of Two Schools. "In four years the state has made a per manent Investment of $150,000 at Kearney. In forty, years It has made a permanent Investment of $207,300 at Peru. Peru has had to turn away mf.i students than Kear ney during the laaC year. Under the in creased entrance requirements at the State Normal schools, Kearney will be no more crowded than Peru during the current bien nlum. In the light of the facts set forth herein, it Is safe to say that the real danger to the success of the Btate Normal school at Kearney lies not In the veto of Governor Sheldon, but In the attitude of ths Kearney Hub and the Fremont Herald. We want the State Normal schools, both at Kearney and at Peru, to prosper and to grow greater In, their Influence and power for good from year to year. In my opinion the -next leglalature should make an appropriation of $50,000 for new build ings at each of these schools. But no eau- cattonal Institution, public or private, must be promoted at the expense of the common schools. The common schools have waited long and patiently for their hearing, and the people of the state, regardless' of po litical affiliations, will approve the action of the last legislature and Governor Shel don In their attitude toward the common schools, which are of, by and for the peo ple. The logic of time win vinaicaie gov ernor Sheldon's every act In the matter of pproprlatlons." As a matter of fact It is oeuevea aruui.u here that Mr. Gregg and Mr. Thomas are more put out because the legislature passed the junior normal school" bill and tt was approved by the governor than over the veto of the appropriation bill. This bill creates three more Junior normals. making eight In nil. and snouia tney do located In tho western section or mo state, and they will be. of course, the at tendance at Kearney this summer will be reduced materially. It Is understock tne Kearney boosters dia no want this bill to become a law. but It did and it helped the sore spots get worse. Baling: on state Bills. Indebtedness incurred after April 1.

(Special.) The Intercollegiate debate be tween Doane and Wesleyan In the Audi torium Friday night resulted In a decisive victory for Wesleyan. The Doane debaters were George La Reu, C. R.
