The Union Paciflo and the St. Joseph A
Orand Island railroads have not reported
their earnings In Nebraska In their annual
reports to the State Board of Assessment.
Each , road says it la not required ti seg
regate Its business among the different
states and as Us Income Is not dependent
upon merely state business it cannot sep
arate the state from the interstate busi
ness, so should It make such a report the
Mgures would be mere conjecture. The
letters are practically the same and each
contain the following:
"In returning this rrport, wish to advise
that while the company raises no objec
tion to reporting any facts that may be
required by you, the proposed report con
templates the segregation of the company's
Interstate business among the various
states through which Its road passes; and
as Its earning, expenses, etc., are not de
pendent on state line., there Is no way In
which such segregation can be effected
except by approximation of conjecture. The
Information requested pertains to the road
as a whole and cannot be accurately ap
portioned among the states traversed. Any
attempt to do so on my part would be a
mere expression of, Individual opinion,
which I am not authorised to make. Be
cause, of the difficulty I should experience
In attempting to comply with your demands
I have delayed returning this report to
you until I have referred the questions In
volved to counsel, snd am now advised
that, while any facts shown by the com
pany's records should be reported, no at
tenipt should be made to give merely mat
ters of opinion or speculation.
"The Interstate Commerce commission
has. as vuu know, directed the form and
manner In which the accounts of Inter-
slate carriers shall be kept, and the Inter
state commerce act provides (section 30)
that "it shall be unlawful for such carriers
to keep any other accounts, records or
memoranda than those prescribed or ap
proved by the commission. This Is another
reason why the Information has not been
given as required aa no change was made
In our accounts apportioning earnings and
expenses to states.''

WORK OFIDE WOMEN'S CLUBS
Omaha Woman's Club Completes Fif
teenth Year with Good Eecord.
ANNIVERSARY COMES THIS WEEK
Majority of Departments Hold Annual
Elections This Week and Con
clude Work for the
Yaar. .
When the Omaha Woman's club com
plete its fifteenth, year of work April 27 It
will have to its credit one of .the best
records it has ever made. It has been
prosperous year for the Club and a profit
able year, and the outgoing administration
may well be proud of the condition In which
It leaves the club's affairs. There has
been little of a spectacular nature In the
accomplishments of the past year, but all
the efrorts have been dignified and well
directed and the results have been gratify
inK. There has never been more Interest
in department work and the work has never
been more serious or valuable. It has been
so equalized that the club has afforded
something in practically every line Included
in the curriculum of the general federation.
Music, art, literature, current topics,
philosophy, domestic science, oratory and
social science have all had a place. Per
haps more than any other department, how
ever, the social science section has been
conspicuous this year. It has not only
stood for something definite, but it has been
largely Instrumental In accomplishing much
that It has stood for. Through its agitation
social settlement work In Omaha ts about
to take definite form. Its programs that
have brought out some of the foremost au
thorities on sociological subject ' have
helped to educate public opinion to a point

to treat a delicate membrane thus?
Do so for a time and the membrane

Eventually the calloused bowtls fail In

have chronic constipation..
No wise person will ever abuse the
