RECKLESS FALSIFIER.

Boss Burrows personal organ delber-
ately tortures the language and spirit OF
q recent article in The BEE in support
of home industries, and declares this
paper opposes the proposition for open
yards in which competitors shall be
free"
The assertion is without shadow OF
foundation. TIE BEE was the first paper
to denounce the attempt OF the live stock
exchange to prevent competition in the
wards, and its demand for free, unob-
structed market was crowned with sue
cess. 1t could not ''oppose the PROPOSE
tion for open yards" because no such
condition existed, The management OF
the stock yards at the outset of the con
troversy between the exchange and the
American Live Stock association, pub
licly declared that the yards were open
to all shippers and no discrimination
would be tolerated. This position re.
ceived the sanction of thepacking house
companies, who are now, ms heretofore
patronizing all comers, regardless OF
their connection with the exchange or
the association.
What TUE BEE did say and now reit-
crates, is that the Legislature should
carefully consider the benefits conferred
on the stock growers of the state by the
uphuilding of "A home market. 1t is poss,
BILE to legislate home market out Of cx-
istence. The rates OF the Omaha market
are now as low as those OF Chicago and
Kansas City. Is there any justice in
legislating rates below protitab BILE
point, and thus practically wreck the
ability of the management to compete
for business with rival markets?
The falsehoods of the deposed boss do
| not alter the fact that home institutions
and home industries are essential to the
| future welfare. They are entitled to the
| fostering care of the law making power,
! Surely no citizen anxious for the welfare
of the state will permit malice and ignor'
ance TO blight by reckless legislation an
institution that had added millions to
the taxable wealth OF Nebraska, built up

THE PROPOSED ESrRY LAY.

The Shumway usury bill has passed
the senate and seems likely to become
the law of the state. 1t has been per-
fected with considerable care, and is de-
signed TO strike a happy medium be-
tween the radical and conservative ideas
of this much -mooted question.
The proposed law fixes the legal rate of
interest ut 7 per cent, but allows 10 per
cent on contracts When Il higher rate
than 10 per cent has been charged, and
the fact can be shown by an action in
court, the cr editor is entitled only to his
principal uni ess the rate is higher than
l2 per cent. The latter figure is the
maximum rate of interest. If the bor-
ROVER sets up the defense that he has
been charged more than II per cent, and
maintains it in an action in court, the
lender forfcits both interest and princi-
pal Under the old law the lender can
be made to forfeit all interest above the
legal rate OF 10 per cent, but the pro-
vision for forf eiture of principal and in
terest when more than II per cent is
charged is a new feature 1t has been .
adopted in response to the demand for II
law which shall protect the borrower
against the imposition OF rates OF inter
terest that are inconsistent with pros
perity.
If this measure becomes a law it will
be received with general satisfaction.
1t avoids the dangers which were feared
a few months ago when certain radical
leaders talked wildly of a usury law
which should make or per cent the
legal rate and demand the forfeiture of
principal and interest whenever higher
rate was charged. Such legislation
would have placed an absolute prohib-
ton upon all outside capital and driven
every loanable dollar out of the state.
On the other hand there was Il genuine
demand, shared by all classes, for II law
which should protect borrowers against
the unjust exactions which certain
class of money lenders are disposed to
| levy upon them. Nothing but II stringent
usury law, with provision for heavy
penalty could accomplish this object. If
| II per cent is adopted as the maximum
rate no legitimate investor will com
plain.
Capital is essential to the dev slopment
OF Nebraska and to the prosperity OF a
large class of people The public desires
to hold out cordial invitation for the
wealthier states OF the east to invest
their surplus in our manifold enter
prises, and to loan it at profitable rate
of interest on sound securities. 1t is eS-
sential that the law should furnish ample
protection for capital thus invested.
But there is II limit beyond which farm
ers and business men cannot go with
safety to themselves and their creditors.
The man who borrows or loans money at
higher rate than 10 or II per cent is

The necessity OF educating the chair
man of the board Of public works is not
to be questioned. His annual report of
the boards operations, not to mention
the petty squabblcs which mark his roc
ord in Office, furnishes documentary
proof Of glaring incompetcncy.
Why should the Taxpayers he called
upon to pay the costs OF an alleged cN-
ploring trip that in reality is II private
iambOrccY 1t is reckless waste of pub
lie money, for which there is not the
slightest excuse. Omaha's experience
with paving material is accessible to
all. 1t is II matter of public record.
Every material of value has been put to
practical test, and the result is to be
seen on the streets, or set forth in de-
tail in the reports of public officials. If
the chairman of the board cannot derive
knowledge from tho city's experience,
he certainly cannot absorb information
from cities that have shown no greater
advance in public works than Omaha.
Even if tho experience of the city,
with all known material of prac-
ulCdl uSt 10 HOV SuhItlthb, IL 10
not probable the public will
be benefited by the Investigation
of novice. No iirst.class institution
employs a blacksmith to examine its
books, nor would any sane man employ
millwrlght and real estate agent to
test the quality and durability of the
various grades of stone. the consistency
of cement, the ingredients OF asphalt, or
the exact strength Of brick These are
matters entirely within the province Of
experts. 1t is ridiculous to think that
Birkhauser is competent to examine and
report intelligently on the paving mate
rials of this or other cities. The inves-
tigation should be conducted, if at all,
by the city engineer, or some man whose
training and experience would give force
| and value to his conclusions.
The plain fact is that the council raids
the public treasury to pay the expenses
of pleasure trip. To claim the money
is appropriated for any other purpose is
a false pretense.

IN meddling with the practical work
of the park board, the council exceeds
it's legitimate functions. The right of
the board to expend the money set apart
for its use is beyond question. Its pay
roll is entitled to as prompt considera-
ton and approval as is bestowed upon
the accounts of the police commission,
the comptroller. the treasurer or the
pay of members of the council. The
refusal to pass the claims approved by
the board is a gross injustice. Work
ingmen and contractors are denied
their wages and put to an
amount of annoyance for which there
is not a shadow of excuse. The
honesty of the claims is not disputed
The council evidently delays action to
harass the board and carry out its policy
of debating what shall or shall not be
done or who employed, by coordinate de-
partmGnts of the city government. SO
far as the expenses of the board are con-
sidered, the council s authority is purely
ministerial, provided such expenses do
not exceed the available funds, and
every attempt to dictate to the board is
an unwarranted assumption of power
which should be vigorously resented in
the courts if necessary.
