Gov. DAVE message - the legl.la-
,ure is Il worthy public document and
is highly commented orr by the press
! Of the state. The document .hOs, the
condition. OF suste Affairs III 4 clear and
| conci-e manuer and i. Il credit - Gov.
Dawes, who keeps a waichful eye over
! the affair of Nebraska. During tie
la.t two years the governor has only
pardored one person out of the p"nl-
Tertiary. and commuted two death
sentences 10 life imprisonment. Dur.
ing the course Of the me-- he rec
commends that tn. present TAX law be
changed so 'E.at farmer. a pay their
take. in two i~nstsllments. This l. in
deed . most sensible suggestion. and
the legislature would DO we'll to heed
this advice. II would certainly tighten
the burden oi tax paying. Another
good point IN the message Il the re-
commentator that a law toe pa--eI
fixing a maximum passenger rate on
railways at 3 cents per mile, also that
suitable legislation be had looking To
the reduction of present freight rates
on Nebraska railways. The document
must be classed a. among the -
able stage papers presented 10 any leg
islature for action and guidance.
TAX LAw.-The following item
we clip from an exchange IL des-
cribes "A bill introduced 10y J l. Haley.
representative from Webster and
franklin counties. aud should Mr.. X.
succeed in getting it through the legis-
lature he would earn the eternal graft
tude OF his constituents. IL seems To
be the most sensible bill yet introduced
| on the subject for the relief OF the peo-
pie: Haley has introduced a bill into
the house to govern the collection of
taxes. The bin provides that all taxes
shall become due January l.t and that
the taxpayer may pay the whole
thereof on that date or at his option.
| one half on January lst and u half
FIVE per cent on the las, iusiallment If
! paid on or before January lat. The
bill further provides that If the first
half is no, paid on January lst or the
Last half on NAV lat it shall draw ten
| per cent interest. Mr. Haley claims
that to refund penalties will cause
confusion and dissatisfaction, hence
| his bill allows the law to take its course
! on existing penalties. The CHIEF
hopes the bill will paes the legislature
without opposition. The present law
is certainly abnt xious to the people.
