ILLUSTRATED BY SLIDES Rsaerts Tell What Mar Re Done to Make the Roads of the Coantrr Better ant How It Mar Re Dose, Convention delegates rarely stay through a long afternoon's proceedings following at tendnnce at the morning session, but the county commissioners and clerks proved an exception to this rule yesterday after noon at the Rome. The visitors stayed until A. N. Johnson, state highway engi neer of Illinois, had said his last word on the care of earth roads, and had shown his last stereoptlcon view. Mr. . Johnson followed several other speaker who had taken part In several discussions, and the way every man re mained to hear him was tribute both to his ability as a lecturer and the Interest of the commissioners In his subject. The afternoon began with an address by K. C. Copeland, former president of the Iowa Supervisors' association. He talked upon ' Benefits of State Commis sioners' Associations." This was followed by a debate on whether real estate should be assessed annually or biennially, the chief speakers being, W. F. McDonald of Here county, F. It. Elliott of North Platte, and H. Fastenot of Nebraska City. Considerable division of opinion was manifested by these and other who spoke mere briefly. Next, Peter Campbell gave an address upon "Culverts and Maintenance," and then F. R. Klllott was heard again in a talk upon "Recording.'" Mr. Johnson fol lowed In the principal address of the con vention, on the subject of dirt roads. The llllnolsan's address was a vlsorous and rigid exposition of the results achieved by the use of the King log and other forms of drags. Mr. Johnson talked also of macadam roads and the proper foundations for them, and everything he talked about he Illustrated by stereoptl con view. Tell of Proper Foundation. "See this strip of rough road," Mr. Johnson would sayi "This Is before taking. Now observe what the same road looks Ilk after dragging." Views Illus trative of his words were continuously flashed upon the white screen and there was no man present hut what wasIm pressed. ' "The secret Is the good foundation and semi-water proof urface." said Mr. John eon several times during his address. He took a good-natured fling at theor ists who call themselves "practical men," and who have "never done anything but talk and assert their practicability." How do they know you can t do a thing until you have tried It? We met many of them In Illinois who said a macadam road could not be laid on our black earth sur faces." The program for this morning Includes an address by Henry Seymour, secretary of tlx State Board of Equalization, who will discuss "Equalisation of Taxes;" a talk by W. M. Barbour on "Western Neb raska;" a paper on "County Clerks' duties," by Frank Houston of Jefferson county. In the afternoon, permanent committees will be named, the next meeting place chosen and officials elected. The annual dinner will be held In the evening. ' Wednesday Session. . If any of th visiting county commis sioner frlvoled away Tuesday evening they had all quit yesterday morning, and the con vention hall wa crowded to hear W. O. lire talk on "County Taxes," and a discussion ot relations between Douglas county and the rest of the state by John Grossman, representative-elect from thla county. Mr. U re began by saying that "county commissioners have unfortunately too little to do with taxes. Th assessor makes out the amounts and the treasurer collects The county boards do apportion th funds." Mr. Ure declared It a matter or public misfortune that the" county boards must do this apportioning and estimating so far In advance of the actual collection of the money. "Money estimated and apportioned In W10 la not collected until May of Ml, for In stance,'' said he, "and If estimating and collecting taxes were . closer together. In time it would make for much better bust' ness administration, and this difference In tlnl Is what gets many counties Into a bad financial way. No business can be well conducted when the outlay la mad before It la really known what the Income Is going to b. ' ''Contractors." continued the speaker, "wait six months for Interest to begin and eight month for their money, and knowing this they figure it Into th cost ot building or bridges. They must do this as a matter ot salt protection." Mr. Ur suggested easy remedial legis lation, proposing that th collecting ot the money b put farther back into the busi ness year. He also urged that county boards be made more responsible bodies, saying: "in ninety case out ot 100 in creased responsibility make for greatly Increased efficiency." The speaker declared that road overseers ought to be appointed rather than elected a now. and declared that this was on way In which there Is a leakage In th spending of county taxes and tax appor tionment. County Commissioner Furley ot Cedar offered or adoption by the convention a resolution which provides for Increase In pay of commissioners. The convention will act on this later and other advices on the same subject. TO EXTEND AUDITORIUM STAGE Capacity Mitt lie Increased to UIto Haaua for the New York Hippodrome.

One County Charge Will Have Tree for. Christmas Cheer County Superintendent Says He Will Comply with the Bequest of the Old Man. A doddering old man walked up to Su perintendent Tom McCleneghan of the county hospital. "Are we going to have a Christmas We this year, Mr. Superintendent." asked the octogenarian. "It's been a matter of more than twenty years since I saw a tree and I would like to see one more. Probably I won't have another chance." The old man will have hla tree If Mr. Mc Cleneghan ha to buy It hlmslf and this Is fairly likely. But ther can bo no gen eral tree for th S19 residents of th hos pital. "I could not fix up a tree and present for the whole crowd," says the superin tendent. "It would bankrupt m or the county or both. "But th old man shall have a little sprig of evergreen with a candle or two lighting It and perhaps a present. He Is a good old boy who never has been any trouble. "If the others hear of this, my own Christmas will not be the merriest In Omaha. They are a fairly Jealous lot In these publlo Institutions, and making charge of favoritism Is on of th easiest things they know. I suspect that It Is th notion of some of them of a perfectly cork ing time. "Some of these old and feeble people have relatives who will come to see them Christ mas day. Others have no relatives. 8UU a third group have relatives who do not come to see them. The loneliness of such derelicts on Christmas day Is saddening."
