Nebraska,
(From a Staff Correspondent)
LINCOLN. Nov. 2i (Special. )-As the
time draws near when the peopleof Lfn
coin will have to decide whether they
want a new charter to fit the conditions
existing since the passage of the old form
of Government to the commission form,
they are getting more and more warlike,
and men who were once the closes of
friends now take occasion to refer to
each other as liars and other like names
which tticy th'nk In a sma'l way expresses
the r feelings toward their neighbors who
may have taken one side or the other
of the controversy.
Meetings are being held and havo been
held In the school houses, churches and
other places where a .crowd could l
gathered, that the merits and demerits
of the new charter might be discussed.
Already It has cost the city treasury
something over $2,500 to draft the thing
and get It before, the people. One-half
of the lawyers of the city re arrayed
against the other half In their views as
to the constitutionality of certain provls
Ions of the charter, and If it passes there
Is liable to be mu,ch litigation In order
to find out whether It Is all right.
Many on the outside of the business
district are claiming that If the charter
it adopted their taxes will be double what
they now pay,, and that they will pay a
, h'gher percentage than those n the down
town district. They also claim that the
charter provides for" an appropriation to
fix up the downtown university campus,
and while many of them favor keeping
" the university where It Is, they do not
think they should be taxed to help the
downtown merchant, who will reap the
benefits from having the students close
to his place of business.
lltrrnntlve Section.
In order to strengthen the chart6r
claims art "alternative" section has been
added which wilt give the people a chance
to vote on certain things after the char,
ter Is passed. If they so desire. This has
lalsed a lot of discussion whether the
people have a right to vote on the alter
native section at the same time that they
vote on the charter, and here again, wise
men of the law are arrayed against each
other.
I-ast nlKht at a meeting held In the res
Idence portion of the city, Jacob North,
an advocate of killing the charter, and
Commissioner Hensley ntarly came to
blows, and both pulled their coats In
an effort to settle the legality of the new
charter by fistic combat. Charlie Bryan
Bn dAsslstant Attorney Oeneral Frank
Kdgerton took their lives In their hands
, and stepped between the .belligerent men
and they Were content to call each other
liars an dothcr endearing terms because
the representative of the democratic r.a
v , tlonal admlojsf ratlpnr at. JVashlnsron and
' the representative of the republican state
legal department at Lincoln would not
allow th'cm tq pummel' each other.
Men who were formerly strong support
ers of William Jennings Bryan are, fpr
the charter for no other reason, so It
Is said, than that the great commoner's,
brother, Charley, Is agalntt'lt. Men llko
Charley Bryan, who swear by the great
' edict of Brother William, that tile peopU
. shall rule, are aalnst a charter which, U
is claimed, gives the people a chance to
rule. Men who have made sport cf Mr.
Bryan's pet plank are for the charter
because It will let the people rule.

vu-peiaiivc biock companies win not
have to secure permits under the blue
sky law to sell stick, according to an
opinion given the State Rnllway commls-
oiuii hub uiurniiiK py ine attorney gen
eral. "There has been much dlsMitisfac
tlon with the law In this regard and
yesterday Representative Gustatson of
Mead came to the state house an dtook
up .the matter with the commission. As
a result the matter wns token up witn
the attorney general, who says:
"In reply whether a permit to Issue
stock under the blue sky act Is required
where Nebraska corporations have been
organised over a year and have Issued
all capital stock under charter and de
sire to Issue Increased stock by amending
articles; and atso where" Incorporators
of a company desire to subscribe for en
tire lssuo and do not propose to offer
same to the public will say In reply to
tho first Inquiry that this act docs not
Include within Its purview sales of stock
In Nebrascka corporations which havo
been in existence one year or more at
the time of sate.
"The fact that a corporation of this
kind Is required to amend Its articles of
Incorporation and Increase Its stock so
a sto properly carry on Its business,
would not subject such corporation to the
necessity of securing a permit. In the
second caie that when incorporators of
a proposed corporation purpose subscrib
ing for and taking the whole of the
capital stock and do not purpose to rely
on disposing of stock to outsiders, a per
mit will not be required."

LINCOLN, Nov. 16. (Specla.)-Senator
Jack Grace, the mascot statesman who
represented the 'f wenty-flrst senatorial
Jlstrlct In the lait legislature, was at the
state house this morning on the war path.
Senator Grace had all the appearanco of
having passed through, one battle, iiavlnsr
to have the assistance of a cane In order
to navigate. He laid all his trouble to
a "crick" In the back caused by trying to
do manual labor, something he wai tvt
used to.
Ills- main mission to the state houi.e
was to prevail upon the governor to com
pel the railroads to live up to iht law
which the senator got through the last
session requiring the railroads to ulve
free transportation both ways to a cure
taker on each car of stock. The bill
passed all right, but unfortunately there
was no penalty attached for a failure to
carry out Its provisions and consequently
the law has little effect. Senator Grace
believes that the railway commission
could make the railroads live' up to tha
Jaw if It would and will tiy to convince
them they ought to do It.
Penator Grace was accompanied by
Representative Tom Jones of I-'urnaa
County, who represented a portion of the
senator's district In the ower house. Mr,
Jones, while not quite the avoirdupois of
the senator by over MX) pounds, has quail
fled In the same oratorical class and was
adding his persuasive abilities to that of
tho senator.
