Browning, King & Co, Employes Form a Club
Howell Called on to
Explain Sources and
Uses of Water Money
Deputy County Attorney James Fitz
gerald, addressing the Southeast Improve
ment club at Bancroft school last night,
declared that General Manager R. B.
Howell of the metropolitan water district
was collecting a minimum water tax from
consumers which could not be Justified by
law.
"No court would uphold that minimum
tax, for there Is no justice In levying and
collecting It," said Fitzgerald. "If tested
In the courts It would not stand for a
minute."
A lively discussion of municipal owner
ship was held and the water plant was
used as an example by debaters on both
sides.
Councilman Thomas McQovern called
attention to the fact that the board Is
Using 100,0CO raised by taxation: that hay
and lse and wood was being sold, and he
wanted to know If any of the members
of the club had learned where the money
from such sources was spent.
A resolution was passed asking Howell
to explain in detail the sources of re
relpts and the use to which the money
thereby derived was put.
It. F. Williams, member of the Board
of KducnUon, defended municipal owner
ship.
Police Commissioner A. C. Kugel was
called on to explain why the southeast
section of the city did not receive mora
consideration from the police department.
He said eight or ten more policemen
Would be added to the force In April and
that one patrolman would be placed In
that "neck of the woods."
Commissioner McGavern said If the. club
wanted anything from his department all
that 'was necessary was to write, down
their desires and then check them off as
he performed.
The secretary read letters from several
cities relative to electric light rates. A
resolution endorsing municipal owner
ship of the electrlo light company was
starred toward consideration, but was
postponed for further consideration.
Trustful Stranger
Holds an $800 Draft
A. E. Trayer of St. Cloud, Minn., met
two strangers at the Union station yes
terday morning who were apparently In
trouble. Mr. Trnyer listened, and finally
made out that the tall man would not
consent to give up the deed to the $5,000
property unless $20 was forthcoming. As
the other was about to reply, he noticed
Mr. Trayer nearby and he turned to him
"Mister, you don't know nle, and I don't
know you, but It you'll lend me $20, I'll
.give you this $PW customers' draft on the
Omaha Merchants National bank. I'm
in hard straits. If I don't return here In
ten minutes, you can cash the check and
keep the money."
3tr. Trayer parted with $20, and an hour
later he was telling it all to Chief ot De
tectives Maloney.

Justice Britt Says
Lower Courts Do Not
Get Share of Respect
"Dormant Inflation, the adherence to
ancient laws nnd the Indifference of the
old lawyer to the dignity due the Justice
and pollco courts of the country, particu
larly the former, nil keep the courts ot
the common people from their rightful
landing." This statement by Justice C.
W. Brltt was mudc In a talk on "The
Court of the Common People" last night
at thn Young Men's Christian association
building.
"Despite tho fact that the Justice court
Is limited to passing upon civic cases not
Involving more than $200, tho amount Is
not trifling when It Is realised that to the
common people th decisions In most In
stances are ns final as tho rulings ot the
supreme court It Is this tact alone that
makes it Important that efficient men,
applicable laws and proper respect make
up the court that thn common people use.
"And the cases Involved aru not so
trifling when It Is known, for example,
that In my court alone, at a most con
servative estimate, flvo differences a day
are tried, each case Involving an average
amount of $40, which in a year amounts
to 1,535 cases and a sum of $61,000. Multi
ple these figures by six, tho number of
Justice courts In the city, nnd I think
you have proof enough that tho Justice
court Is duo Borne consideration.
"Vet tho laws governing these courts
are In a measure ridiculous. There are
practically no qualifications required to
be eligible to occupy this Judiciary seat,
and tho position of Justice of the peace
Is not thought Important enough to be
made nonpartisan and remove the detri
mental Influences of politics.
