COMMISSIONERS TO ACT TODAY Attack Will Be Mad on Mate mmd Kearse to Law to Krstralo Blretton Call Will Follow. Petitions calling upon the Board of County Commissioner to hold a special election In conjunction with the fall gen eral election to determine whether Omaha ami Pouth Omaha should ba merged, were filed In the offlea of County Clerk Hav erly Friday afternoon. On the Omaha petition are about 3.700 names; on the Houth Omaha petition, about l.KOa The Board of County Commissioner will take up th petitions at its meeting today. Though the annexationists of South Omaha claim that they have hundreds of tiames to spare on the petitions, thnso who oppovo the move will be on hand toddy to protest against the calling of the election. Every name will be contested If there la any possible ground for ques tion, ray the antl-anm-xatlonlsts, and all the names of those not found on the registration list will be removed from the petition. Immediately thereafter the city attor ney of South Omaha in behalf of the gntl annexatlonlsts will file with the district court a petition for an order restraining the county clerk and the county commis sioners from calling a special election to vote on the proposition. The city attorney contends that the statute under which the merger would take place Is unconsti tutional, being an example of upeclal class legislation. The antl-annexatlonlsts rejoiced In a quiet way yesterday when a rumor gained circulation that the packers and stock yards had declared against the merger. This rumor was denied by the annexa tionists who asserted that the companies In question had decided to let the people themnelves settle the question without outside Interfernec. FEEDERS TO THE MAIN LINE Antoa and Trolley Cars Seem to In rrrtt Travel on Steam ftnadi. Th records' of railroad traffic show In passenger miles a mile an increase since 1901 of 64 per cent., aa compared with 43 per cent In freight ton mllea a mile; and even durlftg the panic period. 1807-08, they Increased about 6 per cent, while freight business decreased nearly 8 per cent Hard times In business admittedly hit the freight business first, particularly that branch of It that covers factory products; passenger i traffic la affected later and of'cn only afte. a considerable Interval. ' Tet on the theory that" bust ness travel should a with business It self, one would think trt the upward and .downward curves of freight and passenger traffic should correspond pretty closely. The seeming anomaly of a disparity between the two Is deepened by the fact that during the last decade there have been some special and familiar forces operating adversely to passenger traffic. During that period , the long distance telephone has come in more and more as a commercial and industrial coeffi cient. It has reduced what but for It would obviously have been a large volume of railway travel. To It is to be added the automobile. likewise affecting a wealthy group of habitual travelers; and, finally there baa been th extension of competing atreet railways using the form to Include cross country and long distance .lines. The long distance , telephone has had hardly a perceptible qualifying feature. Now and then It may enable Brown to notify Smith to make a railway Journey, but in the vast majority of cases It Is a preventive. Not so, however, with th parrallel street railway. :At first an ac tive and serious rival of the steam line, It has now, apparently, taking the country aa a whole, become. In Its sec ondary stage, a feeder. A small rival still between near together stations of the steam line. It has grown more and more to be a feeder from further points. Its rivalry has been sunx In Its char acter aa a subsidiary, saying nothing of th larger values of the electric line as a direct lateral and Its facilities for focussing; travel at the urban station. The automobile has the same duplex character of feeder and rival. It com petes with the steam line at many points and often on long distances, but It also brings the home, the shop and the store in closer touch with the Btatlon. The rural home of wealth, formerly remote. Is now hardly, by figure of speech, by automobile, across the street from the steam railway. The maxim that travel makes' travel may prove as true in the relations of the automobile to the steam roads as "In the case of the trolley. Railway Age-Qasette.
