SAYS REFERENDUM BARRED
Hclvey Thinks Constitution rre
vents Vote on Armory Jfuna.
GUARD A STATE INSTITUTION
I.lnroln Man Siy Inrmenco siiothi
that l'nriione of Petition Was
. Misrepresented to Se
cure Sinners.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, JUly 16.-(Spcclal.) The ref
erendum petition for submitting to the
people the proposition of accepting or
rejecting tho employers' liability bill
passed by the last legislature and the
Nebraska City armory appropriation,
passed by tho same body, are nowwlth
tho secretary of state, and It Is up to
tho opposition to find some method to
prevent tho proposition from being sub'
mltted.
Frank Helve'y of Lincoln, formerly of
i Nebraska City, was: t tho secretary's
office this inornlngv looking up the prop
Ositlon and ban discovered what he
thinks Is sufficient grounds to prevent
tho proposition from being brought be
fore tho people.
"The constitution of the stale saYs,'
said Mr. llelvey. "that 'the referendum
may be ordered upon any act, except
acts making appropriations for4 the ex
penses of the state government and
etato Institutions existing at the time
such act Is passed.' The national guard
Is a state Institution. The Nebraska
City company has been organized and
In continuation since May, 1SS7. The
state has recognized that organisation
ana each year appropriates money for
the maintenance of tho guard and for
the payment of armory rent. That
makes the national guard and tho Ne
braska City company an existing state
institution and as such comes under the
excepting clauso of tho law.
Mlnrritreneiitntlon Churned.
"In addition to that'.' said Mr. Hel
vey, "we have evidence to show that
misrepresentation was mado in an effort
to secure names to the petition and that
names were secured to tho petition on a
representation that it was a petition to
asslet the guard to secure armories. Of
course the signing of a petition Is Just
like signing a note. If the note appears
In tho hands of an Innocent purchaser, it
doesn't make much difference how much
fraud was used to get tho v signature to
the note, the law will protect the Inno
cent purchaser. I don't know Just how
j far this will apply In this case, but on
tho noto proposition, while tho Innocent
purchaser Is protected and tho signer
has to pay tho money the least that can
bo said about tho original owner of the
noto la that he cannot bo classed in tho
good citizen class."
Representative Klshcr of Boone was at
tho stato house a few days ago and said
that he had done a great deal of work
to get names to the petition in his
county and in Madison county and . ho
thought the- people wo-rild veto tho ap
propriation. AiuieKsment Iletnrns.
An error in tho compilation of the as
sessment returns from Fillmore county,
as published yesterday, made that county
show a loss bf Valuatldii' of over WOOKXX).
When figured up by Secretary Seymour
this morning It was shown that the valu
ation of tho county had increased over
lost yoar 38,000. The counties reporting
this morning show the following figures:
1913. 191
Garden f 1,006,711 $ 972,466
Nemaha 6,771,763 6,763,163
Jefferson li,S82.280 6,943,764
Franklin 3,924,47$ 3,863,188
Rock 1.190,164 1.1C6.SS5
Johnson 4,766,116 4,704,767
..Sixty-eight counties have reported to
date and show a good strong Increase,
all but six adding to the grand total of
Increase in valuation.
Sherman ' county reported with a de
crease In value on land. When appealed
to by Secretary Seymour as to why the
valuation on land this year was less
than last, the reply camo from tho
county clerk that the cbmmlslsoners had
made a reduction,
tChe valuation on real estate Is made
every four years. This valuation was
made last year and' according to law
the commissioners have no right to cut
down the valuation on land after it has
once been approved by the board, which
was done last year. The valuation of
Sherman county last year was placed on
lands at $008,077. Tho commissioners
hvo cut that valuation this year to
$1,971,723. a loss of $126,554. What their
reasons for doing so are has not yet
been shown.
Call for Warrant.
State Treasurer George has Issued ' a
call for all warrants up to No. 20X21, to

about $350,000 of theoutstandtng warrants,

Railway Commissioner Taylor will go

proposition of the telephone company at
that place, which has made an apllca-J
tlon for a raise of rates on switching
charges from 25 cents to 30 cents.
The cold storage bill will become a

Knnnith Wnte rfor Crops.
According to reports received by State
EJngtnter Irlc from Assistant Knglneer
Mason, who was sent to Scott's Dlutf to
look into the situation regarding low
water In the Irrigation ditches, Mr. Price
thinks that there will bo no trouble over
the matters when tho proper conditions
are understood by all. "It is pretty hard
for a User of water who knows his crops
are needing moisture to see the, water
passing down thevcanat," said Mr. Price,
"and it becomes necessary sometimes to
remind him that his neighbor below has
rlchts to water which must be re
spected."
Reports sent Into the engineer's office
show that there are 664,630 acres of feet
storage in the Pathfinder reservoir, which
can be had upon payment of the proper
water right to the government. The Jast
report showed thatt ne outflow of the
reservoir was 2.T0O oublo feet per minute
to an Inflow of SSO cubic feet. The gov
ernment canal Is using 190 cubic feet.
At Whalln the flow Is 1,468 at the stato
line 1.291 and at Bridgeport 200 cubic feet,
There was no report from North Platte.
This report came In on July 14.

to bo a hard-fought one.
Auditor Howard la taking no part In
the matter and has kept his hands oft
of the fight or any attempt to appear
as an Interested party, other than as a

itlll have a say In ho conduct of the

constitutional, as a member of the In

eral, he will to acertaln extent be forced
to give way to the Ideas of tho othet
two members should they combine

Dr. B. Holovtchiner, vice president of

"I have talked with hundreds of-peo

charter Omnha ever had an opportunity
to adopt. It stands tor the rl girts of the
common people and they will vote for
It; despite the attempt of certain organ
isations, working for their own interests,
to defeat It.
"Whllo the charter hits tho brewers
nnd the corporations a hard blow, they
will not fight It, knowing that It would
be uncertain aa to whether they would
hot be even harder hit by nnothor similar
convention. They are willing to accept
the tonns of this charter because they

"I believe the rank and file of voters

Chotmcy L. Shamp, tho labor leador

"Tho members of the Central Labor
union are not much on boosting," said
Bhamp, "but they aro a busy bunch of

no matter how good tho candidate or hla
