To Hcdnce Iluslness Cost.
"1 sot the Idea of our organisation
here last year from the meeting of tho
secretaries of tho commercial clubs. For
years tho various organisations of re
tail men havo been striving to reduce tho
cost of doing business. Wo havo air
formerly conducted our Investigations
and t experiments separately. This has
been expensive, 'for in most Instances,
wo have been duplicating half of tho
work. Theso associations aro" spending
$1,000,000 a year In their effort to roduce
the cost of doing business. Through
the annual meeting of the secretaries
of these organizations and tho corre
spondence which follows personal ac
quaintance of tho secretaires wo expect
to cut this nmount at least E0 per
cent. Wo will make our work co-oper-atlvo
and through reducing tho cost of
doing business wo cxpoct to rcdiico tho
cost of merchandize to tho consumers.
Our organization la In every essential, a
business affair rather than a social or
ganization. Vo aro trying to help our
members shut off tho leaks which, drain
their business ant which must bo paid
under tho present system by tho con
aumor. Jn tho end tho result will bo
gratifying not only to tho merchants for
nutting thtlr business on a better dusIj
hess basis, but It wjll help tho publlo in
reducing the cost of merchandise to the
consumer.

(Prom n Staff Correspondent)
LINCOLN, Feb. 20. (Special.) nrefercn-
dum petitions which have been circulated
throughout the state covering the propo
sition of voting on university extension
either at tho state form or on grounds
adjoining the present location, were filed
this morning.
It Is estimated that there are 2fl,600
names on tho various petitions. Tho law
provide that 10 per cent of the vote of
the state at tho last election Is required
to make .tho petitions legal. Mr. Walt
has figured that under that provision It
will take 13,012 names on tho petitions.
Thcro shall also be names on the petitions
coming from two-fifths of the counties"
of the state, which would require names
from thirty-eight counties.
Tho law which governs tho voting on
the propositions of removal or nonremoval
was Introduced by Representative Mc-
Klsslck of Beatrice, a strong antl-re-
movallst, and reads:
Section 1. Thero is hereby created nn
additional fund for the Unlvorslty ot Ne
braska, the sarno to be known as tho
special university building fund, the samo
to consist of the proceeds ot s. tax of
three-quarters of 1 mill on tho dollar val
uation of tho grand assessment rolls ot
tho state, which tax shall be levied In tho
year and annually thereafter for six
years, to npd including the year 1918.
Section 2. No . portion of tho proceeds
arising from the lew of tlin tnv hprntn
provided for shall be expended by or under
ine uirecuon ot mo Hoard of Kcgents ot

It will bo seen by tho above that If re
moval to tho farm Is defeated only one
third of the appropriation goesto build
up an agricultural farm while tho dpwn
town campus gets tho bulk of theappro
Another -interesting thing shown by tho
law Is that It settles theproposltlon ot
which location Is tho cheaper. Interested
parties havcattempted to show that It
Is choapcr to. buy land and build down
town than It la to build on land already
owned by the stato at the farm: In sec
tion l it Is said that If tho clectlpn shows
that extension la to bo made on tho city
campus and on land contiguous thereto,
the romaJnlng two-thirds shall bo avail
able for "the extension of the city campus
and the erection of buildings thereon."
It extension Is made down town, tho cost
ot the "contiguous" rgound must come
out of tho levy made by tho stato, or,
In other words, approximately J500.000 of
tho levy will be paid out for land, being
tho estimated cost ot tha proposed block,
leaving but J1.166.6W of the sum of 2,600.-
000 which it is supposed tho levy will
raise for buildings on the six blocka ot
ground, whllo If extension is made on
tho farm, tho whole M.600,000 will be
available. It is not a qcustjou of which.
Is cheaper, but a proposition of throwing
away 00.000 of tho taxpayers' money for,
land when tho state already has plenty of,
land at the' farm.
