Version of Bank Case.
AURORA, Neb., March 6,-To the Editor
of The Omaha Bee: In view of the inaccu
rate and misleading statement In what pur
ported to be a report of the recent trial of
the Interest case of Hamilton county vs.
Aurora National bank, and published in
last Saturday's Issue of Tha Nebraska State
Journal and The Lincoln Dally Star, we
believe the people of the state should know
the real facts that are common knowledge
with the taxpayers of our county.
The county treasurer for a period of time
received more county funds than the four
or five depository banks could take under
the law. The Aurora banks declined to
qualify as depositories for the reason that
they had more funds on hands than they
could use for available loans or In their
business, and being In that condition they
declined to pay the Interest required of
bonded depository banks.
The county treasurer In this dilemma and
with county funds accumulating In his
vault, which was not burglar-proof, and
being unable to find depository banks In
adjoining counties, bought with the excess
funds certificates of the Aurora National
bank and other banks, and placed them In
his vault. They were bought in the treas
urer's own name, but immediately endorsed
over to himself as county treasurer of
Hamilton county. The county treasurer
did not tell the banks that the funds were
county funds, but the bankers, though on
the stand they testified to facts only and
not to their conclusions, do not deny but
what they had such knowledge as the
transactions afforded them, through checks
payable to the county treasurer being used
in the purchase of the demand certificates.
As a matter of fact, and as stipulated in
the trial, everyone who cared to know,
knew that the county funds In excess of
what the depository banks would take was
used to buy demand certificates only until
depository banks could be found, when the
demand certificates were Immediately
cashed, and the funds placed In depository
banks at two (2) per cent. No one makes
the claim that Interest was ever paid or
ever promised to any one for the use of
this money.
These facts were known to the board of
county commissioners with whom the
county treasurer frequently discussed the
situation, and the board approved and con
sented to the handling of the excess county
funds by purchase of demand certificates
until sufficient depository banks could be
found to take the funds. Sometimes these
funds would have to be held In form of
demand certificates for two or three days
only, and then again it might be for some
weeks.
Some time ago question was raised in a
political campaign as to whether or not the
banks were liable for Interest on such
county funds, though admittedly they were
placed there only for safekeeping and the
banks, by reason of their own large sur
plus, did not profit therefrom. County At
torney J. H. Orosvenor declined to bring
any action on the ground that it was a
matter of public necessity to thus ssfe
keep the county funds, and held that as the
banks had not profited, no liability for In
terest could attach. He pointed out that
the county treasurer had never kept a dol
lar In a nondeposltory bank when lie could
get a depository bank to take It.
Outside attorneys finally brought the
suit. The president and cashier of the bank
told the facts In a straightforward man
ner, aa did the county treasurer, and it
soon became so clear what the actual facts
were that the attorneys bringing the suit
sdmltted openly that the county treasurer
had acted in good faith, and tbat the bank
had likewise acted In good faith, but main
tained that under the depository law, no
matter If this were a caae of necessity on
tbe part of the county treasurer, thst the
banks ware liable for t per cent Interest
no matter why nor how the county funds
came Into the bank.
The undersigned, from their official po
sition, have knowledge that commissioners,
as well as treasurers, knew of and acqui
esced to such disposition of surplus funds.
We believe that those whose honesty was
impugned ha the articles alluded to are
all honorable and creditable cltiiena. and
we see with regret the scattering broadcast
An institution is composed of individuals who
have many thoughts in common. .
The circulation of a newspaper is necessarily
institutional in character.
A group of people cannot be constantly read
ing a single publication day after day without un
consciously accepting and at the same time influenc
ing the institutional quality of the publication itself
The business house that is well managed nec
essarily develops an established order of doing things
which gives it an institutional character.
The best copy for a newspaper advertisement
reflects not only the institutional quality of the busi
ness w hich it is promoting,, but also takes cognizance .
in its appeal of the institutional traits of the readers,
of a ntwrspaper.
While newspaper advertising is an organized
form of salesmanship, because of its Institutional
quality, it must necessarily place high premium
upon personal, individual salesmanship as it is de
pendent upon it to secure satisfactory results.
Advertisers can develop this institutional qual
ity in their copy and intensify the personal sales
power of their employees by encouraging sugges
tions from them.
In addition to their common interests as em
ployees, each one is more or less closely connected
with numerous institutional bodies, such as religious
or political organizations. Their suggestions, there
fore, are very broadening to the advertiser and re
veal to him oftentimes new horizons of endeavor.
In this way the feeling of community of inter
est is fostered and the institutional idea in newspaper
advertising is developed and emphasized to the
highest possible degree.
A merchant should test his newspaper "copy"
to see if it incorporates this potent quality institu
tionalism OajpllM tMt. J-4r- mm Bafchl

Water Works Case.
OMAHA, March 6. To the Editor of
The Bee: I have read Frank Kennard's
letter In the News of March 3 and, though
I cannot agree with many of the con
clusions he reaches, I do agree with him
where he says that the management of
the city's side of the question haa been
a succession of gigantic blunders, for
which the taxpayers are paying the fid
dler. I also believe as Mr. Kennard does
that the city may have to take over the
plant at the award of $6,263,295.45. Mr.
Kennard says the water company has a
gross earning capacity of about $700,
000. Further along Mr. Kennard says
the water company has persistently re
fused to divulge its secrets In this di
rection. Then how Is Mr. Kennard any
better able to guess at the Income than
any other cltlsen? City Engineer nose
water, who ia possessed of more than
ordinary Intelligence, haa publicly stated
many times tbat the water plant could
be duplicated for $3,000,000 or 3, 500.000,
whereas as careful appraisement by three
expert engineers place the same at over
$6,250,000. Most of the taxpayers of this
city guessed that the water company
would oppose an appraisement of Its
plant. But did, they T No, their trap was
carefully set and the city got Into it
with both feet. But now that our feet
are in. It does not follow that we should
run our head into another trap because
someone guesses this tblng or that. We
can all guess at something, but the
trouble la we don't guess right. I sur
mise that Wall street gang are just as
anxious to get that award of $6,250,000
as they were to get the works appraised.
Mindful of past blunders, we should cease
guessing and proceed cautiously along
well-trodden business lines on a question
like this that involves so much and
where a single misstep would read ruin
to the taxpayers of this city.

Statement by C'haoffears.
OMAHA. March 6,-To the Editor of The
Bee: I notice in The Evening Bee of
March I an article beaded, "Chauffeurs
Will Demand Raise In Their Wages Soon."
Now I do not know by whose authority
this article was written, but I do know
that aa far as the Association of Chauf
feurs Is concerned that the article Is a
He, and was evidently given out by some
one whose friendly .feeling for the chauf
feurs of Omaha ia nut very strong, and
they thought by this course to put the
chauffours in a bad light before the public
and with their employers.
The Chauffeurs' association Is not a
union. In the snnse that most people would
thirk, for we do not aim to try to control
wages or hour of employment. The men
at the head of this association are well
enough versed in the chauffeur's duty to
krow that that would be an Impossibility
so far as the association Is concerned.
Our constitution and bylaws are made and
formed to so regulate the chauffeurs that
they will obey the laws of any city or
state in which they are employed, to In
crease the efficiency of Its members so
that they will be of more value to tholr
em ploy era We believe this Is the only way
to control wea and that eaeh man should
go on bis own merits, not be paid for what
some other man knows or Is worth.
By increasing the efficiency of all the
chauffeurs to such a point that they are
of more value we believe thst their em
ployers will voluntarily Increase their
wagBS to a figure that will be agreeable
to both parties, .but, of course, that la
with each individual and none of the as
sociation's business.
W also aim to eliminate as much of
tl is "joy riding" as possible at late hours
with their employer's machines, and there
la a flt,e attached to this by the associa
tion when discovered by the iissnt'liiiiun or
any of Its members.
We aim to help members to imsltlniis
were It Is possible to do so, but they miiFt
first show us thrat they can be trunti'd and
relied upon and give a good account of
themselves. -v
There Is, no doubt, many chauffeur- who
are not what they should be, bill In every
wnlk of life it Is ths came; It dikes many
kinds of people to mnke up this world nf
ours, tnd the article rcfcrit-d to r cir
talnly unfair, for by all our vows we h.-
eliminated this very question from our i n
sldcration. I think the chauffeurs ehoiiM hiivo Hip
same privileges as any other class of, men
who want to form a dub or association
for their own and employers' mutunl In ik
fit. In this way we will be eiinlik-l t.
know what our members are doing ami
for them to have a place lo ro wliho.it
having to patronize some shIooh or ni'iery
place less desirable. We hope to huve the
co-operation "Vf our employers in this
matter, for it Is for their benefit ss well
as our own.
I do not think there Is any tine to write
more on this subject at this time, but
Invite the closest scrutiny and criticism of
our methods, as we are open to seme st
any time and anyone Interested will he
welcome. We do not think, however, tlnil
the party who wrote the above referred to
article Is fair, and hope thst If he is m
Interested aa the article Indicates thst he
will make himself known, thut we may
face him In the open.
Hoping to see this where It will right the
wrong done us, we are, very respectfully,
OMAHA CHAUFFEURS' ASSOCIATION.
