(Prom a Staff
xm CLN' Feb 21-iepecial.)-Attoniey
... iuonipson, representlni? Lieutenant
Governor Samuel It. McKclvle. who seeks
to havo removed the constitutional pro
vision which prohibits him from -non.,.
a nomination for governor, sets out many
t"ouna wny me constitution in his opin
ion does not bar tho lloutenant Bovemor
of the stato from becoming a candidate
iur governor.
Ho attneks that section of tho constitu
tion which rays that "None of the off I.
cera of the executive department shall to
tillable to any other stato office Juriwr
mo period ror which they shall have bicn
elected," and claims that the word
"eligible" moans cllslblo for tho offlco at
tho time they -would have to take the
office.
Ho defines tho word as "legally quali
fied" or capable of holding office. "If
the question of tho meaning of the words
'eligible to office' were submitted to ten
ordinary men," read tho brief, "It Is
fair to concludo that a majority of them
would, say that It meant qualified to hold
the offico rather than qualified to bo
elected to office."
Mr. Thompson also contends that the
.office 'of lieutenant governor Is a lcglsla
tlvo office rather than nn executive of
flee, as the bulk of the duties of tho lieu
tenant governor aro to presldo over tho
legislature and his only relation to an
cxecutlvo office Is when ho acts as gov
ernor In the absence of the governor.
The caso will como up at the session
of the court beginning March 1G.

Martin Rules that
State Banks May Buy
Reserve Bank Stock
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Feb. n.-(SpccIal.)- In a
telegram to Attorney General Martin,
Secretary of the Treasury W. G. MeAdoo
desires to know if the law of Nebraska
will permit banks desiring to enter thn
now systein to subscrlbo to stock of fed
oral reserve banks, 'and also desire In
formation when the legislature will be
in session. In answering tho mcssago the
attorney general Informs Mr. McA'doo
that tho law with reference to tho sub
ject Is as follows:
"No corporation transacting a banking
business shall make any loan or discount
on tho eccurlty of tho shares of Its own
capital stock, nor bo tho purchaser or
holder of any such shares, or the shares
of any corporation, unless such security
or purchaso shall bo necessary to prevent
loss Upon a debt previously contracted In
good falfth."
"Technically, this law precludes tho
banks of this stato from being the owner
or holder of shares of any other cor
poration. Of course, at tho timo of tho
passage of this law, the legislature could
not have had In contemplation the stock
of the federal rcservo bank.
"Uy reason of the federal law, a new
system has been established for the
country, and In view of that fact tho
banking board of this state has had this
law of our stato under consideration. The
banking board, which has control of all
tho stato banks of this state, Is com
posed of the governor, the auditor of
public accounts, and the attorney general.
It is the ruling and decision of the bank
ing board that stato banks, which aro
other wlso eligible should be permitted
to subscribe to tho stock of the federal
reserve banks, and I am authorized to
advise you of that decision.
"The legislature of our stnto will con
veno January 6, 1915, and it Is tho opinion
of tho banking board that tho legislature
would not hesitate to amend the law so
as to prevent any possible question about
the right of state to enter tho new sys
tem nnd subscribe to stock of tho fodcral
reserve banks, In caso any bucIi question
Is ever raised."

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. Feb. 21.-(Spcclal.)-Llvc
stock commission merchants lit South
Omaha will have to pay a license to
do business tho tamo as any commis
sion merchant according to nn opinion
given Food Commissioner Harman by At
torney General Martin this afternoon.
Heretofore those dealing In what Is
generally termed farm produce havo been
held under the law nsXllablo, fro the
tax, but tho attorney general holds that
tho term farm produco means nil kinds
of products of tho farm and thnt live
stock comes under thnt definition. In
closing his opinion on tho matter the at
torney general says:
While there Is more or loss doubt
about this question, I think tho law
should be so construed as to Include the
selling of live stock on commission, tho
selling of groin on commission, and the
selling by any person or corporation of
products of tho farm, dairy, orchard, or
pnrden, whero tho dame are placed in
tho hands of a commission merchant to
bo sold on commission. Any person, com
pany, or corporation, who has a placo
of business In this state, njnd undertakes
to sell In this state tho products desig
nated above, should comply with tho law
by taking out a llccnso n ml giving a bond.
It Is possible that If the commission mer
chant only dealt In products shipped from
another state, he might escape a compli
ance With this law on the ground that
ho was engaged In Interstate commerce,
but it is Improbable that a caso of this
Kind will bo found.

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Feb. 21.-Spcclal.)-lt lias
been tho custom for county treasurers
In making their report to tho auditor to
make a showing of taxes not collected
nnd cancelled for some reason or other.
In tho caso of Madison county tho re
port showed that J1.CW.61 was roported
uncollected on real estate nnd 2,554.ST on
personal property.
In looking up tho law Auditor Howard
has discovered that section 6193 of chap
ter C9, says: "No county, town board,
city council or vlllago trustees shall
hovo power to release, discharge, remit
or commuto any portion of tho taxes
levied against nny person or propoty.
And any taxes so discharged may
be recovered by civil action from mem
bers of such board.
Tho following section, however, seems
to conflict with tho one above and rebels:
"Whenover It shall appear that any per
son charged with taxes has removed
from tho county or has deceased and
left no property or It from any causo
It Is impossible to collect such taxes the
county board shall after tho expiration
of two years causo the same to bo
stricken from tho tax list."
However, tho constitution of the state
says:
"Section 4. article 9. Tho legislature
shall havo no power to releaso or dis
charge any county, city, township, dis
trict, town or tho Inhabitants thereof, or
any corporation, or tho property therein,
from their or Its proportionate sliaro or
taxes to bo levied for stato purposes, or
duo uny municipal corporation nor shall
commutation for such taxes bo author
lied in any form whatevor."
Auditor Howard stands on tho constl
tutlon and bellovcs that commutation of
taxes cannot bo niado tn any manner
and has asked a ruling of tho attorney
general on tho matter.

Genuine Merit Required to Win the
People's Confidence
Havo you ever stopped to reason why
It Is that so many products that are ex-
trnslvoly advertised, all at once drop out
of Bight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain tho artlclo did not fulfil
tho promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curatlvo value almost sells Itself, as llko
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by thoso who, havo been
boi'ofitcd, to those who are in need of It.
A prominent druggist says "Take for
exumple Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a
pitparatlon I have sold for many years
nnd never hesitate to recommend, for In
almost every case It shows excellent re
sults, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy that I know of
has so large a sale."
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of Dr.
Kilmer's Swamp Root Is due to the fact
that It fulfills almost every wish In over
coming kidney; liver and bladder dls
