LINCOLN. June it .(Special.) Among the big corporations In this state which are de funct according to the proclamation of Gov ernor Shalle nberger under the occupation tax law Is the Hock Inland railroad. The time has passed when this corporation can pay the occupation fee and secure a permit to do business in Nebraska und unless there Is some technicality that can be discovered It will be up to the railroad to reincor porate, which will cost it In the neighbor hood of UK. 000. Had It paid the tax when due the cost would have bcart 2SX the fee for corporations with a capital stock of over 1.000,OOU. The governor Issued his proclamation some months ago, in fact, last September, but the statement evidently was overlooked by those having charge of this department of the railroad, for the record shows that It Is one of the big concerns which have not yet paid lis fee. The legality of the law has already been upheld by the su preme court. Running; Own Department. Labor Commissioner Maupin is very In dignant at the Beatrice correspondent who sent out the story that he had dismissed a complaint aculnst Joseph garnish, charged with violating the female labor law. at the instance of the governor. "The story Is absolutely untrue," said Maupin. "The governor did not even know that I had filed that complaint, and so far as I know he has not heard of K yet I filed that complaint in order to got a compliance with the law. The merchant promised mo that heronftor he would observe the law and upon a promipe to pay the costs of the' case I asked that It be ismissed. I have no desire to have any- ne fined. Where frequent warnings arc f no avail It has been my practlco to file complaints, then if the defendant appears to me that he Is satisfied to obey the law and will pay the costs, I have dismissed complaints." One Appointment Held Up. Governor Shallenberger has not yet ap pointed a successor to President Chllds of the State Normal board and the indications today are the appointment will be held up until after the primary election. There are lot of men who want the Job. The clti sens of Wayne, of course, desire a member of the board, for there is a normal school at Wayne, while Chadron insists that it Is entitled to a member of the board. There are a lot of citizens who have recommended Judge Westover for the place. Should the appointment be made now many persons would be disappointed when disappoint ments count, while after the primary disap pointment counts for less. In the mean time, as the governor still talks non partls&nlsm for republicans to follow, many Insist that he should reappoint President Childs even if he is a republican. Mr. Chllds stood by Principal Crabtree of the Peru school, who said the governor prom lsed to keep him In his Job. Wants Lower Oil Rates. Victor Wilson of Polk county, a member of the late legislature, has filed a petition with the State Railway commission asking that a date be set for a hearing for the purpose of securing a reduction on oil rates in this state. In his brief field with the pe tltion ur. Wilson sets out that the average rate on oil in this state Is 90.03 cents, and coal 7.4175 cents per 100 pounds. The aver' age rate petitioned lor is 8.09 cents, on single line, and 9.01 cents on double line, This rate asked for, Mr. Wilson says, makes the oil rate t per cent greater on single lines and 22 per cent greater on double lines than coal. The only reason he does not ask for the same rate, he said is because of the existence of a precedent for the rate prayed for. Kansas, he said, has by statute fixed the rates as asked for here, and these rates have not been con tested in the courts of that state. Mr. Wilson sets out In his brief that the selling price of oil at the wells in Kansas and Oklahoma is only 1 cent, and even less, per gallon, and that many wells are idle because of a lack of a market, due to the high freight rates. He says 147 pounds of oil is equivalent to a ton of coal, and the people of Nebraska are entitled to freight rate which will enable them to get this cheaper fueL Broken Bow Has Big Program Celebration of Fourth Begins at Sun rise and Ends at Midnight Some thing- Doing- All the Time.
