LINCOLN, Jan. 1. (Special.) When
6tat Treasurer George closed his bcoks
Saturday, afternoon for the year 1911, he

jiaa a casn uumiice 01 ov,ii.ot ukuuibi
a balance of Jrtb5,71t.25, when he assumed
office January 0, 1911. One year ago the
state's permanent Investments are 9.
029.438.S9. The at ate board tics invested money in
the permanent fund at present up to the
limit, aed In fact so closely that the
treasurer haa been unable to care for
registered atate warrants as la usually
the case at the close of the year. The re
ceipts from settlements with, county
treasurers, however, are-coming in now
and the outstanding warrants will all be
taken care of and in addition those issued
In the course of current business. There
are now outstanding 150,000 of general
fund warrants.
One reason for the large amount of
outstanding warrants is the fact that the
last legislature appropriated more money
by I1.000.0ij0 than any of its predecessors,
and more than the revenues of the state
tan provide for until the receipts from
the new levy are available, which was
made larger to care for the increased ex
penses, following is the statement of the
treasurer:

LINCOLN, Jan. 1. (Special.) Start
Ing off with the meeting of the Taft
league the week promised to be prolific
of political developments, but for some
unexplained reason failed to "make good
on its promise. ' Filings of candidates
were few, the most important being that
of R. I). Sutherland, as democratic aspir
ant for congress In the Fifth district, and
C. M. Skiles, democrat, for congress in
the Fourth. Wilbur 6. Walt of Lotip
City filed as republican candidate for
land commissioner.
The meeting of officials of the Taft
league promises eomo active work In the
Immediate future. Frank Currle of
Broken Row. who was selected secretary
In place of K. M. Pollard, who was un
able to devote ills time to the duties,
has arranged to take hold in earnest. He
arrived In 'Lincoln toilay and tomorrow
morning will open headquarters lu the
Llndell hotel ami proposes to start tilings
moving at once. In conversation today
he suld he was more encouraged than
ever since he had started iu on the work
and there Is no cpuestlou, h asserts, tout
the vast majority of Nebraska repub
licans are heartily in favor of the re
nomlnatlon of William II. Taft.
The executive committee and Hie, com
mittees from the various congressional
districts will meet in Lincoln Januury 15
to name the candidates for delegates to
the national convention, the candidates
for electors and also the national com
mitteeman who will go on the primary
ballot as the representatives of the Tart
forces. This plan was considered essen
tial to avoid a multiplicity of candidates
which promised to defeat the will or the
voters, as it is certain the La Follette
men will center on one set of candidates,
l a Follette II 00 in Vlpprd.
The failure of Senator La Follette to
visit Nebraska when he makes his west
ern toil- has caused a chill to creep down
the spine of his boom iu this state, which,
even before this event, had shown signs
of anemic conditions. ills followers.
however, met during the week and de
cided they would try and have a rally in
Uncolii some time during January, the
date of which bus not yet been fixed.
Another development of the week is the
probable swlt h of W. H. Price, who, It
Is rumored, has switched his ambitions
from the governorship or congress on (be
democratic ticket to the senatorshlp. He
is credited with thinking that both :""!ial
lenherger and Thompson have worn out
the.r welcome by continued appeals to
demortacy for office and that there Is
good chance, to land the plum for
himself.
