Immediately upon adjournment of the
trustee and the headquarters committee
th superintendent, disregarding- Ma taut
promise, resumed operations undor hla own
plan.
At the meeting of the headquarter com
mute on February i a committee of fifteen
lawyer favorable to county option we
appointed to draft a bill which when com
pleted and adopted by the headquarter
committer waa to be tha official county
option bill of tha league. Disregarding
thla action of tha committee, the superln
tendent had printed and distributed over
the stat a synopsis by paragraph of hla
own bill. Realizing tha embarrassment of
hla position by reason of thla action of
tha superintendent th chairman of the
committee of lawyers resigned without com
pleting th preparation of a bill.
"Mystery" la Finances.
At the meeting of the headquarters com
tnlttee the district superintendents reported
from time to time, their reports consisting
of a simple recital of meetings held in
hurches and larga sum of money collected.
The members of the committee were never
able to learn the details of these collec
tions nor the manner In which the money
waa expended. The expenditure was solely
under the direction of the superintendent
and the committee was neither consulted
nor advised, with respect to the details
' thereof.
"The report of the treasurer to the trus
" teea on March 4 waa prepared by tha su
perintendent, and the treasurer In present
'lng It stated he had no personal knowl
edge of the contents except as advised by
the superintendent.
"Liefore deciding to take th radical step
of resignation w sought a remedy for
- these conditions within the league. We
found that our superintendent was a
reature of the national superintendent,
.Pearly A. Baker of Ohio. No charges
against th state auperintendent can be
considered by the judical machinery of
th league without tba'oonsent of the na
tional superintendent. If ' this consent Is
given, th tribunal to hear the charges Is
composed of three elements, one of which
. national headquarter- committee and the
third th state headquarters committee. An
'appeal lies from the decision of this court
ft o tha national board of trustees. Th na
tional organization sent us our superin
tendent. By the above machinery it de
cides whether he shall stay.
; "Th Nebraska County Option league,
tiow organizing In each county of the atate,
Is obeying tha directions of the York con
tention. j Allegation of Inefficiency.
'" "Our personal preference would have
been to retire quietly from all connection
with the Nebraska Anti-Saloon league In
View of tha foregoing facts, but we be
lieve cur duties to the temperance people
of this state require ua to Inform them
that, In our Judgment, no campaign worthy
of the name la being made by tha Ne

the same neighborhood for S125 an acre,
which was considered a good price, and this
state land could be used for agricultural
purposes.
As a private park It Is said the proposi

believe the ownera ahould simply donate

Is considered reasonably certain that the
conscience of the city administration would
be pricked for not permitting the First Na
tional bank to construct that temporary
sign serosa th sidewalk.
A boosters' commute has been placed
in charge of th campaign for the bonds
and considerable money Is being spent in
circular letter and advertising matter in
the Interest of th bonds.
A good many' critics have tried to dis
cover whether the owner of the park
have set a price on the land or who will
be the appraisers to pans on Its value be

ers Insist that only that portion of th Issue
of 150,000 Is to be used in buying Lincoln
park. This has given rise to the story that
probably $45,000 would be about sufficient.
The boosters have secured the aid of the
women and children of the city, and there
la likely to be a heavy vote polled as some
of the most prominent citizens of the com
munity are back of the proposition. - No
critic has said that Lincoln does not need
the parks, but many have expressed a doubt
of tne wisdom of making people rich tinder

CENTRAL CITY. Neb., ' June 28. -(Special.)
The culmination of the dreams of

C. A. Stltzer was a. prosperous druggist.
He was always an nthuslastia hunter and
fisherman and when h went, up to Lake
Erlckson on a . fishing expedition he fell
in love with th place. - He conceived the
idea of making It a great summer resort
and soon his . ideas . asummd tangible
shape. He formed a - company . to exploit
the proposition and succeeded In selling, a
sreat many shares over the state. Lake
Erlckson is a sort of a widening of the
Cedar river and to deepen the lake- and
mako It permanent Mr. Stltzer built a great
cement dam in the river. The floods came
and carried the dam away. Nothing daunted,
he built again on a different plan. Again
the dam was washed out and again he
built. The third dam did not last a long
as either of the others, being washed out
the day after . It . waa completed and ac
cepted by him. In all he sunk about $33,000
in the project before he gave it up.
At one time he intended- to operate an
rloctrlc plant with th vast water power
there and furnish light and power down the
line of the Burlington. He also proposed
building a line of ice houses to be supplied
with pure lake Ice. The money lost in the
successive washing out of the dams so
crippled him financially that n waa forced
to give up these projects and now the sale
of th Erlckson property under the sheriff
hammer mark the closing ' chapter of a
project which In It Inception gave every
promts of being crowned with success.

IOWA RAILROADS PROTEST
Officers Insist that Assessments Are
Growing Too Rapidly.
SAY NET EARNINGS DECREASE
State Kifcntlve Council Will Drill
Considering Matter of Assess
nirats Within Nest Two
Weeks.-
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DKS MOINKM, la., June :C.-iSpcclul.)
WlthlnMwo werks the state executive coun
cil, sitting as an assessment board, will
take under eonsldcrutlon the valuation of
tho railroad property In Iowa and under
take to make an assessment that will con
form to the general average of vnluatlon on
other properly. The report of the railroad
companies which have all been filed and
tabulated make sueh a showing that there
is very little doubt that the- assessments
will be reduced this oar. The railroads as
.a whole have not been us prosperous In
other years. The gross receipts have been
some larger than In the previous year, but
invariably the net profits have been
smaller. The total net earnlna of all tho
railroads In Iowa, on Iowa business, as
they are able to figure It out, was Jlti.
lU.uoo or l,b&0 a mile.
For a number .of years under previous
administrations the policy has been to In
crease the railroad assessments. Now
the railroads are paying nearly a million
dollar a ,year more taxus In Iowa than
they were ten years ago and w itli very
little larger mileage. The railroad men
claim that the Increase In assessment of
their property has b.cu nil too rapid.
As soon as the railroad nssctmnent is
completed the council win fix the assess
ment on real propel ty and then figure out
the tax levy lu accordance with Uie or
ders of the general assembly. The council
has very lllilo power over the tax levy
except a to assessment of railroad and
real property. The levy will be fixed
to as to raise 12,300,000 of taxes on the
state levy.
