R. R. COMMISSION
TO PAY COST OF
LOW FARE FIGHT
Prepared to Turn Over $2,500
to Special Master Gaines;
Decision Expected in
Two Months.
From a Staff Correspondent
Lincoln, Neb March 31. The Ne
braska Railway commission was
prepared Monday to turn over $2,500
to Frank H. Gaines of Omaha, a spe
cial master appointed by the federal
court in 1917 to hear the Missouri
Pacific 2-cent passenger fare case,
whose report on the case will be
submitted in about a month. The
sum is being taken from the left
over appropriations which lapse
iuesday. April 1.
By agreement at the beginning of
the commission s tight to preserve
the 2-cent fare, the state was to pay
half the cost and the railroad the
other half. The state's share was to
have been divided between the com
mission and the attorney general's
appropriation.
Pay Total Sum.
The railroad a couple of months
ago paid $2,500 on account to the
special master, and when it came up
to'the commission and the rail board
took it up with the attorney gen
eral's office, the commission found
that former Attorney General Reed
had not left enough funds to Attor
ney General Davis to meet the obli
gation. The commission is there
fore paying the total sum.
The court is authorizing the spe
cial master to receive the $5,000 on
account, his exact remuneration to
be fixed later by court order.
The agreement requires both sides
to advance their share of current
costs of the case, the losing party
to pay all the costs at the decision of
the case, which is expected in about
two months. -
Urges That Progress
in Road Building Be
Kept Up to Standard
From Staff Correspondent.

tribute on the resources of Morrill

speech by C. J. Osborne of Sidney,
Neb., published in this week's bul
letin of the Nebraska highways
transport committee of the national
council of defense:
"If all our milk cows were one
cow, she could stand with her fore
feet on the line of Colorado, and
her hind feet on the line of South
Dakota, and with one sweep of her
mightv tail knock the icicles from
the North Pole.
"It would tax the capacity of the
North Platte river and Lodge Pole
creek to carry the milk to market.
"If all our hogs "were one hog,
with one root of his mighty snout
he could make a Panama canal.
"Today if all the wheat produced
in our district were in one pile, the
hosts of the eternal city could feed
themselves with the bread of life
with one hand and the bread of
heaven with the other.
"Shall our progress in road mak
ing be in keeping with our march
in other lines? "Now is the time and j
Nebraska is the place to start some
thing." Foreman at Ice Plant Found

FINANCE WILL
BE DISCUSSED
BY CONFERENCE
Important Decisions May Be
Reached During Week;
Newspapers ' Pwell . on
Claim of French.
Paris, March 31. (Havas.) The
probability tliat important financial
decisions will be taken this week by
the peace conference is pointed out
by the French press today. Dwelling
upon the French claims, the newspa
pers reiterate their arguments that
these are just and legitimate and ab
solutely necessary t'er the safety of
France, and likewise of the world.
The Echo de Paris claims to
know that in order to assure the
security of the French frontier it
will be made obligatory upon Ger
many to destroy its forts on the
right bank of the Rhyie, with the
allies' occupying the left bank until
the war indemnity is paid. Regard
ing the indemnities, the experts, the
newspaper continues, have admitted
the impossibility of German's pay
ing enormous amounts during the
next two years. The newspaper
understands that the payments re
quired will be on a rising scale
yearly, each of the allies to receive
its share either in cash or various
products.' '

School Redisricting
Defeated in House
Lincoln, Neb., March 31. (Spe

forgotten parliamentary trick, the
enemies of the Jacobs' school redis
ricting bill, H. R. No. 354, suc
ceeded in defeating it today in the
house, although the measure had 54
votes, three more than enough to
pass it. No fight of equal intensity
has been seen in the legislature dur
ing the session. It was strictly a
Nonpartisan league scrap, with the
league forces divided. Mr. Jacobs,
the introduced, was the only leaguer
to support the bill, the five other
members of the organization who
are now in the legislature, working
and voting against it. .

The Victory liberty Loan
We Started a Job in April 1917
Nov) We Must Finish It.
A man said to us:
"I bought a $100 Liberty Bond
and sold it for $7.50 less than I
paid for it."
Wear This Button
Show You Have Helped
Finish the Job
We told him:
"What if you did!"
"But if you had held the bond
you would eventually have re
ceived a premium for it, rather
than sell it at a lose.
"Besides, what about the losses
of four million men who gave up
good jobs to go to work for $30 a
month t
"They lost a lot of money in
wages, didn't they I
"And what about the thousands
who lost their lives, or maybe an
arm, or a leg, or an eye?
"Can you look a soldier in the
face, and then holler about losing
a measley $7.50?
"Hang on to the Notes you buy
of the Victory Loan and you'll
sell them at a good profit."
The Victory Liberty Loan will be the last
Liberty Loan.
Short Term Notes will be issued for this Loan
instead of longer term Bonds.
