In the ernate the' cloture rule proposed hy fwialor Norris of Nebraeka wa artlll nrier debate and Senator Burton occupied the floor virtually the entire session, his ilRcij1nn ranging' from criticism of aliased eiecuttra Interference, with legis lation to the merit of various pro)ects , contained In the rivers an harbors ap propriation bill.

While insurgent sen to democrat at tended 'the morning cloture conference they were outspoken In their opposition to either e-perial or geaeral rules to limit debate. Other democratic senator In cluding Overman, Hoke Wmlth of Georgia, Dry an and Rwanaon, also opposed chttuie. 1 n the course 'of his remarks today, Ponator Durton asked Senator Fletcher, In charge of the "hipping bill, why the administration was so opposed to the spe cific prohibition of the purchase of bel ligerent interned ship. , ' . 'That would cot bo a wise or patriotic course," said Senator nf:her, "and It would bo writing Into the law denuncia tion of a principle upon which we always liave looked with pride."

YORK. Nb., Feb. 12. To the FVItor of The Ree: In The Bee of the 11th Instant la published what purports lo be an opinion of the attorney general that all mutual firs and lighting companies In Nebraska are. In legal effect, unincorpo rated and merely eKnggerated partner ships, because their articles of Incorpora tion are ( not filed In the office of tho secretary of state. The attorney general's opinion, a re ported li the press, was manifestly not carefully prepared and will not bear analysts, lie evidently meant his opinion to apply to "assessment associations." for not one of tho seventy companies In cluded In his condemnation I a "mutual" eompany, sH the term I defined by the present statute. Th companies affected Include aU th county and state farmer Insurance; as sociations, having more J han two hundred eventy-flv millions of dollsr (J2TS.00), 00i) nt rUk, and unless It b correct, the attorney general should at onoe publicly repudiate lu , , If ho is right. It Is singular, but true, that not one of these companies Is legally or'aniscd, although most of them were Incorporated under thn direction of able and experienced Nebraska, lawyers, act ing not at all In collusion, but independ ently and at different time and places. If ho la right, all the attorneys general, tats auditor and Insurance commtenlon er who hvo preceded him In th official ervlc of the stat have boen seriously delinquent In the performance ot their orfldal duties.' for certificate have been laa.od annually to all these companies from tho state tnsnrsnco department reciting that !hy were conducting their businee m accord with tho law. Twenty four year la a long time for such a vital defect In so vast and important a busi ness to escape tho scrutiny of an these capable lawyer and stats' oflcer. To come bluntly to tho point. Chapter XXXIII of tho session law of Nebraska, tot 11. under which those compajile were originally organised, doe not re quire that their aitloJe of incorporation b filed in th office of the secretary of state, and the method of Incorporation provided by that gtatute is manifestly oxctualvo and complete within Itself, and there Is no ground for any opinion to tho contrary. But apart from th accuracy, or Inac curacy, of this opinion of tho attorney general, th manner of Its promulgation and tho sole use to which It hsa so far been put. ( are certainly deplorable. , No notlca of It over camo to any of tho companies Included In It sweeping con demnation, and tho consternation and dis may or th hundred of thousand of farmer In Nebraska, who first learned of It In tho publlo press can bo better Imagined than described. An opinion coming from auch lofty, official source properly carries great weight, and the responsibility of the attorney general Is accordingly very great, both respecting fh correctness! of hi opinion and th us made of It. ( These assessment association are not essentially evil and they are of very great magnitude. They have been transacting-, business for many year under licenses issued to them annually by th state of Nebraska. Th Farmer' Insur ance company of York county Is on of the companies mentioned, - It la small and compactly organUed and transacts ALLEGED DYNAMITER IS HELD Matthew A.

I'ur Ing tho last eighteen year Its tolal levies on It members have aggregated 17 mills, or less than II per 1.000 per annum. Dur ing this time Its annual expenses have averaged .less than $300, exclusive of lossra paid. During 1914 It paid twenty one losses promptly and without litiga tion. Its activities have been wholly peaceful and legitimate. Its member are all of them entirely satisfied with it, and yet the Impression received by them from the attorney general's opinion a published In the papers' is that It Is es sentially an outlaw, Insecure and haz ardous, especially to Its own members. A vefy large number of : Nebraska's cltlf.na are Interested in this opinion and they calmly await. th further action of the attorney general and secretary of state. Vpcn that action, or th lack of It, will depend a very substantial popular opinion of them and their ability. If they have made a mietakc, they will do justice to the farmer's assessment as sociations only by promptly revoking It In tho same manner ' In ' which It was published. . .

Feb.U-To the Editor of The Bee: Much ha been said and writ ten relative to the county unit school bill now before th Nebraska legislature. I deem It only fair to the bill as It I now drafted to make certain explanations. In the first place thla bill ha been entirely rewritten' by th enat committee on education and I at present a much better bill I think than tho original draft Fur thermore, I think all of th serious ob jection that hav been toad against this bill hav been removed. In tho second place. It 1 entirely optional with any county whether they adopt th unit sys tem or not. It require a petition of 2fi per cent of tho legal voter ot tho county to call an election for tbo purpose of voting oo tho county unit system. 'he new bill provide for a local board of thre member who shall have control of th local districts, elect teacher, etc. Tho county superintendent I to be elected at th annual school meeting by th school elector of tba county, I ' I am willing to concede that th eoun tle in tho eastern part of th state are not yet ready to adopt this plan. I hav eleven .petition from one county In the extreme western part of th state asking the legislature to pass this bill, which will give n Idea ,f th Interest being taken. In western Nebraska on thla meas ure. If th bill passes I predict that a majority of, tho western counties will tak advantage of this law withlr a rea onablo tiro. Ono of tho principal ad vantage of thl law In western Nebraska will b th equal distribution of all cor poration Use in th county. . W hav district In tha western part of tho state along th railroads that, hav plenty of money on a ftv mill levy; la th same oounty wo have many district that are levying thirty-five mill and have scarcely money enough, to support a sevsn month' school. At tho present time th state 1 appropriating about 175,000 each blen nium for th aid of weak district in northern and western Nebraska.

Evidence wa later, found to prove that BchmlUt waa tn Loa Angele a week before tha Times' building wa destroyed, but It wa never ascertained whether h waa hero on October 1, th date ot th explosion.

' ' B. R BCBHEE. Stock. Food and the Bill -For State License Fee. OMAHA, Feb. 13,-To the Editor of Th Be: Th new dispatch from Lin coln In thla morning Beo, "Stock Food Interest object to Regulation," la evi dently, an Inspired one, and th remark attributed to Senator Robertson, "that for IS cent, thej toould make enough of tho stuff to sellfor S3 or H," Indicates the caliber of tho man and how little the advocate of the bill really know about their pet measure, and about the trade affected.. v Omitting consideration of the senator's estimate, which I too ridiculous for at tention, I desire to say that th bill la not a stock food bill, but a bill embracing widely any and every stock remedy. It Impose upon each retailer In the state a tax of S3 por annum on each stock medicine handled by him. It doeo not matter It he sells only CO worth of the remedy In a year. It doesn't affect tho actuation If th remedy. 1 a good ono or a bad one, H I expected to pay th S3 Just th same. It ta not a bill to protect th farmer or stockman against Inferior product. Th most Inferior tuff hag a good a standing a th very best It la simply a meaaur for revenue and revenu measure cannot be enforced if unreasonable or confiscatory. Kansas had a similar law some year ago, except that it waa even won, Ira- posing a tax of sso on each preparation., Our 609 dnlera In Kansas wer con stantly harraased and threatened with arrest unless they paid th tax or quit handling our product. . W applied for and secured an injunction in federal court restraining the state from enforcing th collection of th tax or further mo lesting our dealers. In Ohio, a simitar law was declared un constitutional more recently. Legisla ture can tax the peopl of their own tato about as they please, but when It come to applying the tax to good that come from other state, the federal court have several worda to say. ' . I have nothing against th proposed meseur except that It goes nowhere and means nothing, being of no benefit to anyone except a source of revenue to the stat food bureau from a few Ne braska manufacturers, who have to stand th brunt, while outside manufacturer end In their good fro of tax. Yoti can't enforce a tax on a retailer of more than hi annual sale ot th .article taxed amount to, but It mean a lot of trouble and annoyance, and many dealera simply quit handling such line of good rather than talfe th chance ' of prosecution. That hurt very legitimate manufacturer whllo It benefit th peddler and th mall order house. Your truly, j GEOKQE H. DB53L ' Holdups of a Day W AT a tr xt i -r n r .
