THE BEE: OMAHA. SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 14. 1920. 18 COUNTY BONDS HELD LEGAL IN 'TCSFDEOISION Judge Upholds $822,000 Court House Reconstruction IssueRush Case to Su preme Court. The validity of the cuiirMiou! (("instruction bond' of Hilfiorized by a special session oi he state legislature last October a. upheld by District Judne Scarc f !rcision hamled duwu esti'iday in me irit suit brought bv M. () Cunningham, an attorney, asainst DoiiRlas county ai'.J the board ot county commissioner-;. The "right of way" thruiiu" t.ic courts t. being given the te.-t suit. It was filed last Wednesday alter noon. County Attorney Shotweli filed a demurrer to the suit that sann afternoon in which he argued that no cave of action ayuniM l)infflas county was contained in the petition. It was this demurrer which Judfce Sears sustained yesterday, i Assess on Actual Value. "I don't even care to heltr any argument," he jude told Mr. Gm niugham. "I was myself a member of the legislative committee which wrote section O.'IK) ami I know that 'actual value as mentional in there and 'valuation' as mentioned in the state constitution mean the same thing. I am convinced that, uudei the law. the count v can assess taxes tip to $1.50 per $100 of actual value of county property withont vote oi the people." This is the point on which the at torneys for the Harris Trust & Sav ings Co., Chicago, held the bond issue invalid after this concern had bid successfully for the bonds. t , Take Immediate Appeal. The point of contention lies in the peculiar state law which pro vides for actual or full valuation of all property, and then the, assess ment of taxes on a basis of 20 per certt of this actual valuation. It i.-. a mere juggling of arithmetic. "I shall, appeal the case to the aupreme court at once," said Mr. Cunningham after Judge Sears' de cision. "I expect to have it up be fore that tribunal for final decision within a very short time. And I don't care if I don't win this case. It it a test case, pure and simple. I ani as anxious as anyone else to have the bonds held valid by the highest court." Soldiers' and Sailors' Club .

MADE BY SCOTT BOWNE MAKERS OF SCOTTS EMULSION The Nebraska Soldiers' and Sail ors' Pershing clutt is the name of an organization just formed in Omaha for the avowed purpose of sending a Pershing delegation from Nebras ka to the national republican con vei'Ho'i ut ('hicago next June and of making the commander of the A. K. 1". the nominee of his party for, president of the United States. According to its announcement, the club is to he composed of ex- .service men, and "calls to member hi) every ex-service man who will help to put Nebraska 'over the top' t'Jr Pershing" The organization is headed by i 'apt C. h". Adams, retiring com mander of the C. A. R., who was one of the original Pershing men in the state and uho was very active in war work. In announcing his affiliation with this club Captain Adams said: ' , "At another tune m our history o si 9 4?4' 3w ill?' Capt. C. E. Adams. t I . e . - c this nation returned to civil lite men naa seen iour yeais or seivice more than 2.0U"H men. These and upon their home-coming they found a entiment opposed to Gen eral Grant, their commander, as .a candidate for the presidency. These men, with the grtielling experiences and army hardships fresh in their minds, joined in the opposition, and openly condemned their comrade and leader. 1 well remember, and others will recall, how only a short time later these same men were the frst'to recognize that Grant was one of them; and putting aside their smaH differences and grievances, they once held. thy joined in se curing the election of tlteir old com rade. "Today history will repeat itself, and America will witness the men who fought with Pershing in France or in this country fighting actively for him in the presidential campaign. It would be impossible to separate the ex-service men from Pershing, lie is one of them, ami 1 am confident they will welcome the opportunity of helping to put in the White House the man 'who helped them accomplish the greatest thing in history." "Jack" Baldwin Secretary. John N. ("Jack") Baldwin was chosen secretary of the club and will assume active management of its headquarters. Mr. Baldwin was in the service (for two years, serving overseas for time months. He made the following statement in accepting the position of secretary: "Prior to the announcement of the i Pershing movement I had given my support to Governor Lowden. Now I am for Pershing, a Nebraska man. "Now that we can see how impor tant to the winning of the war was Pershing's attitude, we can see him with a broader perspective. We can see that his effort to put aside popu larity and work with only the win ning of the war as his paramount duty proved the sterling character of the man. Kvery man who served in this country or in France should, and 1 am confident will, gladly put forth every effort to make Pershing our president. He is our 'buddy' who helped us 'put it across.' "The location of permanent head quarters will be announced within a few davs." Ex-President Taft Expected To Speak in Omaha April 3 Former President William How ard Taft is expected to come to Omaha April .5 and speak upon "Americanization" under the . aus pices of the North West Lawyers' Committee on Americanization.
