For State Building
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, March 26.-(Spoclal.)-A sug
gestion made by Stato Auditor Howard ns
to the new building to bo erected by Ne
braska on the exposition grounds of tho
Panama-Pacific exposition at San Fran
cisco looks good to several members of
the committee.
The auditor believes that the frame for
tho building should be made of steel
chipped from Nebraska structural steel
plants and put up on tho grounds. The
parts could bo bolted together and tho
walls made of wire screen such a sis used
In plastering. When tho exposition Is
over tho building could bo taken down,
shipped .back to Nebraska and erected
on the stato fair grounds In exact dupli
cation of tho Nebraska building at the
exposition and dedicated to Borne special
department of the state fair.
13y bolting tho parts together it may
easily bo taken down with little loss and
when re-erected could be put together
permanently and tho whole thing would
not be a totol loss to the state.

LINCOLN, March M.-(Speclal.) Tho
third day of the railroad rate hearing be
fore the Stato Railroad commission de
veloped a mass ot figures Intelligible only
to those who were familiar with rate
hearings and which were probably pre
sented by tho carriers for the purpose
of furnishing evidence to enable them to
go before' the courts In case the commis
sion cannot sec things their way and
sticks to its modified schedule No. 19.
As in the testimony given the day before
the carriers attempted to show that cam- !
Ings of the roads havo not kept abreast
with expenses. The Northwestern, Vnlon
Pacific and Rurllngton had all taken a
hand In showing that revenues of their
roads did not warrant any lowering of
freight rates, but It was up to the Rock
Island through Its comptroller, Mr. May.
to show that other roads were enjoying a
picnic In comparison to what the Rock
Island was compelled to stand.
Mnj Hook laluiiil l.n.en.
Last year the Rock Island, according
to Mr. Nay, earned only a little more
than one-half ot 1 per cent on Its valua
tion. In 1912 the road operated In Ne
braska .at a loss and at no time In tho
past five years has the road had a greater
earning capacity than one halt ot 1 per
cent on Its valuation.
Mr. Nay thought that instead ot cut
ting down the earning ability of the road
It should be given a raise. He was not
particular whether tho reproduction value
of tho road be UBed as tho basis for rate
figuring and Interest return or tho pres
ent worth. In either oaBe the figures
would show that tho road was making
notholng. Even on the depreciation valuo
used In figuring the net return for 1912
the company actually came out with less
cash than It expended on operation. Mr.
Nuy presented the following figures for
tho last flvo years, showing the percent
age both on reproduction valuo and
present value.

The reproduction value of the
Island In 19U secured by Uic commission
on the Nebraska truckage of tho road
and Its property was $11,474,336. Its pres
ent or depreciated value Is given as
19,427,611. On this valuation the road
earned In the last five years the follow
ing: Nineteen hundred and nine, JloO.IOS;
1910, J110.000: 1911, ?3,990; 1912, a deficit of
$673; m, $63,727.
Mr. Nay admitted that the payroll of
the road had Increased In the last six
years more than $3,000,000, an average of
something like $475,000 a year, A part
of this had to bo borne by' the earnings
ot the road In Nebraska.
'Mr. Nay then took the original order
No. 19 and basing his figures on It showed
that In March', 1913, the road lost In reve
nue on Nebraska business alone $382,
which would m.lko for tho twelve
months on those figures a loss of $11,793.

Incident to the raise in salaries and
wages- to employes, Mr. Nay said that the
raises in salaries had been as follows:
General office clerks, 6 per cent; freight
onglneers, 8 per cent; switching en
gineers, 13 per cent; passnegcr firemen,
5 per cent; freight firemen, 9 per cent,
switching firemen, 11 per cent; passenger
conductors, 10 per cent; conductors, 10

cent; section foremen, 12 per cent; other
trackmen, C per cent; telegraph operators,
11 per cent; all others, 2 per cent; watch
men, 7 per cont.
Mr. Buckingham, engaged In special
rate work for the Union Pacific freight
department spent a great deal of the day
on the stand and made comparisons ot
the cost of transportation of freight In
Nebraska In comparison with other
states, in each Instance showing that the
proposed scale wus much higher than the
Interstate Commerce scale. Another way
In which ho showed that thero was not
as good a chance for Nebraska roads to
make anything as compared with other
states was by a division of different
states Into four zones In which the dens
ity of population was given per square
mile. The division made In Nebraska as
the eastern, eastern middle, western mid
dle and western zones and the other
states were divided In the same manner:
Neb. Kan. Minn. Ia. Mo.

Hnten Mnve Ileen Lowered,
Showing a difference In rates as charged
In 1S87 to different points with those
charged at the present time, Mr. Bucking
ham said that the figures were given to
show that rates had been lowered con
trary to the prevailing opinion that they
had not.
On fourth class freight from Omaha to
Grand Island the charge In 1887 was 40
cents per hundred, while the present
charge Is 30 cents. From Omaha to Kear-
ney tho 1S87 chnrge was 6G cents on first
class and 35 cents in 1914. From Omaha
to McCoolc the reduction was 5 per cent, i
to Hauler 8 per cent and to Broken How j

THOMPSON SAYS STATEMENT

Thompson of Grand Island denlc tho

ing: "The Morning Hee. through you. prints

Governor Morchead. Personally I urn

dato of tho party Is."
Further deponoth would say not.
Whether Mr. Thompson Is not In har
mony with Mr. Sink or whether Mr. Sink
Is not In harmony with Mr. Thompson,
must bo gathered from tho above, as
Mr. Thompson would neither deny or
affirm whether the statement made by
Mr. Sink to The Uco correspondent yes

While Mr. Thompson seems to believe
that Mr. Sink hod no authority to talk
Ifor Governor Morchead, the fact re
mains that Air. Sink said Governor
Morchead had told him emphatically ho
would not be a candidate again for the
governorship, and to nowspaper men

today or tomorrow Imub a statement to

Dietetic Value of Beer
From a German Medical Opinion
The intoxicating action of beer is very much less than that of
wine and whiskey; and as it gradually tends to suppress the use of
the latter, it accomplishes a high mission in the history of civiliza
tion. The intoxicating action of the small quantity of alcohol (in beer)
is neutralized by the carbonic acid and the malt extract. Hops in
small quantities stimulates the appetite and promotes evacuation,
(or acts as a laxative.) Beer is very nutritious when consumed with
meat, cheese and bread and it is greatly undervalued as
promoting health and robustness, DR. KIRBACH
