traditions of millenniums of barbar

One ot the good things done by
the late Nebraska legislature was to
make it unlawful for a murderer to
be tho beneficiary of an insurance
policy on the life ot his victim. In
other words, hereafter if a nerson
murders another in Nebraska to get
the life insurance, he won't get it,
and we will nevor again have an
other example of a convict pardoned
out ot the penitentiary collecting
money from an insurance company
in consequence of tho murder. If
there are othor Btates where this
scandal has happened, or could hap
pen, we commend NebraBka'a new
law to them.
Prospect are that several law
enacted by the Nebraska legislature
will be sent to referendum. This
referendum business works both
ways. It can stop a good law put over
dy reiormers lust as easily as it can
stop a bad law smuggled through
pernicious lobbyists.

Omaha's Municipal
OMAHA. May 5.-To the Editor ot The
Beei Don't you know that the municipal
credit Is bound up with the private credit
of a city's people? And that In Omaha
the ordinary basis for real cstato loans is
one-third of a close hard valuation, while
the bants of ordinary real estate loans In
cities of Omaha's class Is, and should be.
two-thirds of the value of the property?
I am not speaking of building and loan
associations on a monthly basis, and
which are limited In amount, but of loans
such as are adequate and ore needed
to build up and make modem clUes-loans
that como from the accumulated werslth
that Is to be found In tho money boxoi of
the world, and to which other cities of
Omaha's class have access on terms that
Omaha has not In Kansas City, Minne
apolis, Denver, Los Angeles, etc., the
market is well supplied with money at
two-thirds of a liberal valuation of the
property.
Now If you want to know how to build
up and strengthen Omaha's credit you
will need to go back a few years and
dig up what It was that did the damage
In the first pace, and In so doing you
will have to unearth things which will be
n surprise to many who ordinarily call
themselves well Informed, for what hur
Omaha might almost m well as far afc
the Information of tho general public Is
concerned have been done in tho coiner
behind tho back door. You all saw the
effects of what has been done, hut did
you what did It?
You nsk the average business man of
tho city, "What hurt Omaha after the
close of tho real estate boom of 15S3, '87
and 'S8?" and In ninety-nine cases out
of a hundred ho will reply, "The real
estate boom." But If those with good
memories who have kept In touch with
affairs will stop and think, they will re
call that In those boom days Omaha's
business as compared with that of Kansas
City, .ia shown by tho clearing house
reports, was only about 20 per cent behind
the latter, while the real estate boom In
Omaha compared as that of an Infant to
a robust young man to that of Kanas
City. In Kansas City lots wore platted
and sold every foot of tho way for ten
miles from the business center, Sixty-foot
front lots sold In Kansas City In the
center of blocks by the dozen at from
JK0.000 to 1175,000 each, while corners rold
Just as freely at 200,000 to 1225,000 each,
while In the height of Omaha's boom
tho southeast corner ot Sixteenth and
Farnam, CflxlK feet, was. bought by "Mr.
Thomas, whose family still owns It for
10,000, and J, H. Millard sold to the New
York Llfo Insurance company tho two
lots, 1S2X1S2 feet at the northeast corner
ot Seventeenth and Farnam streets tor
$126,000, or a basis of 150,000 for the Inside
lot and CO per cent added for the corner.
And then tho final top-notch sale was
the northwest corner of Sixteenth and
Farnam, 66x132 feet, to Dr. S. D, Mercer
for 192,000. These were the solo three top
notch sales of Omaha's real estate boom.
Now these being facts that aro sus
ceptible of proof, why was It that Omaha
suffered so much more than Kansas City
from tho effect of their concurrent
booms? Kansas City at the close of Its
boom went to work and promptly closed
out the wreckage, and It wns substan
.tlally cleared away In eighteen months,
With a decllno In real estato values there
not to exceed 25 per cent; for the people
of Kansas City were at all times able'
to borrow money to protect the value 'ot'
their property on the basis of the newly
adjusted scale. In other words, the peo
ple of Kansas City protected'Hhelr crodlt
and were at once able to go ahead and
do business, while Omaha than then did
only 20 per cent less business, and with"
a far less -boom than Kansas City which
Is at least as well located to du business,
and t belloVe better went through twenty
years of worse than hell. You all know
that real estato was freely offered with
no buyers to tako It at less than 20
Cents on the dollar of former value. I
recall walking up Sixteenth street from
Nicholas to Farnam In the fall ot 1892.
and three-fourths of tho stores were va
cant, for tho people here had no money
to spend in them. Do you wonder that
your savings banks that did a conserva
tive real estate loan business, were
wrecked and unablo to pay 50 per cent?
I am not speaking of concerns that dealt
In second mortgage loans, but of con
cerns that In older cities would have
gono on In safety.
Now, why was this? What was done
that made this state of affairs? A set
of men tn important responsible .posi
tions who were elected as democrats or
republicans, It matters not, but who werq
In fact populists said: "We will not al
low the money sharks to rob the people
of their property," and to effect that
they made a set of rules to govern the
courts In the forcclosuro of mortgages,
In which rules, If there wero no particu
lar litigation, and no appeal to the su
preme court. It took from five to seven
years to get title under foreclosure of
mortgage, and It taken to the supreme
court with litigation double that time was

taken, during which time no receiver
could be appointed to take care ot In
come and protect the property. The par
ties who borrowed the money received
the Income, made no payment ot taxes,
for until the scavenger law was passed
payment of taxes could not be enforced,
and as a rule no repairs wero mado.
While the lender of the money received
no interest he had to provide money for
taxes or to pay them with the added pen
alties when he got title.
Of course, no one could, or would, lend
a dollar here under such conditions, credit
was completely destroyed. Tho people
of Omaha could not obtain money to pro
tect the value of their property, and be
cause ot that, It depreciated to less than
20 per cent of its vnluc. The money
lenders were hurt, but the people of
Omaha were ground under the mill
stones. This destroying of a credit of a
people caused those who only owned 20
per cent ot the value of their homes to
lose them. This destruction of credit
caused the foreclosure of thousands of
pieces of property and passing ot title
to creditors, and those new owners, under
tho conditions then created, failed to re
ceive (largely because of those condi
tions) adequate Incomes from the property
taken over, and all over tho land thoso
new owners were soro spots that hurt
Omaha's credit Since that time there
has been an Improvement In the time and
manner of forclosures, but still they aro
not as they should be.
Elsewhere when complaint is filed, de
fendant must answer In ten days or show
every substantial cause why he should
ba granted as much more time, while
here that thing Is lax and ninety days
usually expires beforo Issue Is made up
and case Is on the docket tor trial. Up
to within a year past usually eighteen
months elapsed before a caso was heard
In court and judgment determined. Than
timo Is given for motion for now trial,
time for appeal, which uses up, say
seventy days. The- execution Issued. A
stdto law gives, without rhymo or rea
son, nine months stay of execution, and
at tho end of Btay, advertising takes
thirty days at least then an Indefinite
tlmo may elapse for tho court to decide
to confirm sale, or order a new adver

To make the mass ot your people pros
perous, you must Improve the credit of
that mass, and sp make It possible tor
them to get adequate amounts of money
on liberal terms at lowest rates of in
terest To do that, you must make It
certain that the lender will receive hla
monoy and Interest promptly when due.
When that is done there will always be
an ample supply of money offering to pro
tect the borrower, and they can go ahead
with confidence to help themselves, and
what each does for himself helps boost
the whole. In other cities Of Omaha's
class tho trust is used, and its use helps
the credit of the people no one has to
use it unless he sees fit, but your people
should have that resource at their com
mand.. New, the municipal credit of a city
cannot be above that ot tho general level
of the moss ot its people. Omaha has
many able, wealthy citizens ot high credit
and they help to raise the credit of the
general mass. But you must bo tlx It

If you Intend to build a live city here,

of us ascertain In what respect the state
of Nebraska will benefit by this invest
ment Tho movement afoot to make this
law run tho gauntlet ot the referendum
Is highly commendable.
