Cutting Revenues.

Thera ts grief In the of ftdnl 'family of
the Douglas County Agricultural goelely
and largely over the qunstton of money.
It Is not the peritrt mony of the thir
teen members of the famllr. but money of
the taxpayers of the county.
Each yow and for years the Douglas
County Agricultural eoelely has held whal
the majority of the thirteen have termed
a county fair. Slnee the Knights of Ak-Snr-ficn
came upori I fie stage this eo
called fair has bch held In eorfjunctlon
with the Ak-Sar-Utm festivities and under
the old taw on the basis of 3 cents on
each vote cast for congressman they have
annually drawn from the treasury of
Douglas county some J1.C0O to be used 'n
paying expenses and premiums.
The majority of the thirteen, who by
holding the annual eleatlons at lSlkhorn,
have Indefinitely perpetuated themselves
In office, last winter became dissatisfied
with the sum of money received and -while
the legislature was In session went down
to Lincoln and secured the passage of n
bill Irtcreaslrig' the amount that thoy
v6uld have at their command. The bill
that they got through the legislature pro
vide for Increasing the por capita amount
from 3 to 5 ccrts "on each Inhabitant of
said county upon ft basis of the last vote
for the member of congress in said
county, allowing flvo Inhabitants to each
vote."
To AsU More Money.
With this new provision of law, tho
majority of thirteen, who have always
constituted a close corporation, are now
preparing to go before the county com
missioners and demand $3,4U.1S, con
tending that tho vote on congressman
justifies them In asking this sum and
tho commissioners in allowing It.
The county commissioners have not
expressed themselves upon the question,
as It has not como before them officially,
but Deputy County Treasurer Solomon,
who has had to do with county fairs for
years, declares that a warrant for this
sum will never bo paid except at the end
of a lawsuit As ho reads tho now law,
it provided that the 6 cents should apply
with reference to tho votes cast for the
winning congressman and not to the
votes cast for nil candidates. Taking
his view of tho situation, the appropria
tion would be 3,072.25.
Minority Not Plcnneil.
Not only Is the money question an
noying the combination, but there I more
trouble. Of the thirteen members of the
board, there aro flvo or six who havo
been left out of the combine and havo.
not been able to get in on tho premium
winnings, consequently they aro In open
revolt. They say that 'In Jhe past, ma
jority members of the board and their
friends have wort all the prises; that
Judges favorable, to them have always
been appplnted and that when the awards
cams to be made, these favored ones
walked off with the money and that an
outsider has stood no show. The favored
'ones have gono Into the various classes
and regardless of who won ho first,
second and third prizes, late? pn there
has been a division of the awards.
Live Stool: Men, Too.
Owners of live stock, tod, 'are going to
set Into the county fair fight. Thetr con
tention Is that since the society began
showing In conjunction with the Ak-Sar-Sen
ptoplo there has been no provisions
made for exhibiting cattle, horses, sheep
and hogs and that Instead of giving own
ers of animals la chance, all of the money
has been spent In holplng out the par
ties who brought in grain and vegetables
and flowers.
The prlxlmlty of saloons to tho exhibit
that has been called a county fair is
going to bo another source of annoyance
to tho majority members of tho board.
Tho state law provides specifically that
no county agricultural society shall hold
Its annual exhibition within one-fourth
of a mile of a saloon, or where liquor Is
sold. In the past, with the fair held on
the rarnlval grounds, ithere have been
almost dozens of saloons within the
limit fixed by statuto.
Now minority members of the board
unhesitatingly say that unless the ma
jority members oome In and toto fair,
cut out the pooling of premiums and en
courage tho exhibition of live stoek and
publish the award of premiums, a thin?
that has not been done, they will protest
the Appropriation of the JMU.TS and will
Institute legal proceedings to prevent
tho fair being held nearer than one-fourth
of a mile from a saloon, which would
shut it nut of tho Ak-Sar-Uen grounds.

Hero and there among prominent
Omaha republicans facts about congres
sional and gubernatorial candidates for
the 1914 election nro beginning to leak
out It devolops that several candidates
nre already grooming themselves for gov
ernor of Nebraska when Governor More-
head's term shall expire. As Morehead
announced during the campaign that he
was a one-term man, the republicans do
not yet know who will be their democratic
opponent, but they arc buckling up their
belts to get Into tho primaries.
S. It MoKolvIe of Lincoln, present lieu
tenant governor, Is said to have his eye
on the governorship. McKelvIe has been
octlvo In politics In Lincoln and in tha
state for somo time and served as a
member of the house In 1911.
Senator J. II. Kemp of Pullcrton, who
was a member of the senate during the
last session of the legislature, is said to
be debating as to whether to run for
governor or whether to try for a seat in
congress. Ho would like either honor,
but he looks with greater favor upon the
salary of a congressman than upon that
of a itovernor of Nebraska. On the other
hand Senator Kemp realizes that Con
gressman Dan Btcphens of Fremont has
the congressional scat pretty well warmed
from the Third district and that It might
be something of a task to pry him loose.
James Nichols of Madison, who was a
member of the house in tho last session
of the legislature, Is being trumped up
by some of his friends for the republican
primaries for governor and he Is said to
bo not averse to tho suggestion.
Ned Brown of Lancaster county, who
has served in tho state senate and who
was a member of tho house in 1907, is
another man who Is coming Into the spot
light for governor.
Dan Klllen of Beatrice may appear on
the primary ticket as aspirant for the
gubernatorial candidacy, according to his
friends. ICIllen is well known in Ne
braska, having boen leader of the major
ity In the house In 1907.
William V. Hoagland of .North Platte,
who served In tho state senate during
the last session, Is said to be preparing
to run against Moses V. Ktnkald for nom

"54" Phaeton
Elcdric Self-Cranking and

" A Definition of
J A1 1 ! O
AutomoDiie oervice
.This is a much talked about subject.
Every dealer, every manufacturer, talks
about it. Some are specific, some only suggest
. what it might be. This is our definition.
See if you do not' agree that it is the most
important in the consideration of your motor
car purchase.
No man, no matter how experienced, can
know what service any car will render. No
two drivers operate their car alike. No two
cars are called upon to render the same kind
of service.
Machinery will wear out. It must be at
tended to, and some one expert, willing and
broad in mind, must be there to see that the
car gives the service you expect it to give. -
A car must be built with a sufficient allow
ance to take care xf the average demand made
upon it.
No dealer can give service who is not suc
cessful. Motor car satisfaction is largely a
matter of dealer satisfaction. To be able to
give such service the dealer must make a profit.
He cannot sell his cars at a discount. He can
not make, unreasonable allowances for old auto
mobiles in order to make a sale and have a
profit left sufficient to give the service that
should go with every motor car.
He must see the broader possibilities of con
ducting his business upon a service basis than
is often found, especially among dealers whose
only interest is in making the sale.

any price can be in performance, luxury, comfort and
value. Backed by our own service you will nnd in it as
near an approach to ideal motor satisfaction as is
The "54" HUDSON is the answer to a question that
has long concerned all automobile builders. "What will
Howard E. Coffin do when he builds a Six?"
When he built this car he had as his associates ex
perts from 97 leading American and European factories
-48 all told.
Thus all guess work wa'elirninated all experiment
made unnecessary. With so many viewpoints and so
much experience, errors that others had made were
eliminated advancements that others found impossible
were easily accomplished.
The "54" HUDSON has electric light. It .is elec
trically self-cranked. The famous Delco system,
patented, is used. Every luxury is included, speedo
meter, clock, top, curtains, rain-vision windshield, de
mountable rims, twelve-inch upholstery, etc. Equipped
with a nve-passenger Phaeton body at $2450.
At $1875 you can obtain the HUDSON "37 de
signed "by the same engineers that built the "54"
and pointed to as the "Four-cylinder masterpiece."
