sion does not regard with favor the
immigration bills that have been intro
duced In congress. On the subject OF
irrigation the commission urges ma
tional control Of sources Of water sup
ply, surveys Of arid land and an esti-
mate of the available water supply for
their reclamation, and the construction
Of storage reservoirs and irrigation
works. This clearly means that in the
judgment of the commission irrigation
should be ~nationallzed. 1t suggests that
the government should deal with this
most important task, ia which the en-
tire country has an interest. in a broad
and practical way. rather than in the
proposed in the bill prepared
by the representatives in congress from
the arid-land states.
Every citizen who is interested in
these important questions should give
thoughtful attention to the conclusions
and recommendations of the Industrial
commission, a non-partisan body com
posed of men of a high order of ability,
who have evidently pursued their inves-
legations with conscientious fidelity and
have framed their opinions of what ex-
listing conditions require with a purpose
single to the promotion Of the general
welfare.

proval, nor viii It be recognized as bind
ing on the majority. At the last election
nearly 1900 votes were cast for the
republican candidate for congress In
Douglas county. Assume that 10000 re-
publicans could be mustered to cast their
ballots at a congressional primary, di-
vidlng their votes among ten candidates,
and the highest Of these should receive
LOO votes, while the other min should
receive $500; IL plurality rule were
adopted the man with 1,100 votes would
claim the nomination. although $500 re-
publicans had expressed themselves
against him. Under the plurality rule
the $500 would be expected to submit
to the rule Of the LOO. In principle the
same injustice would be perpetrated IL
the plurality nominee should receive
1850 votes as against $500 for his OPP
ponents.
Manifestly no minority candidate could
depend upon the undivided support of
his party. Such a nomination would
not be considered binding upon the party
and would only invite defeat at the
polls.

district the state according to the census
OF 1900, 20 that there should be an equitable
representation Of the several counties in
the two houses Of the legislature, is a
broken reed to lean upon when important
business lie at the fore. A legislature
chosen by the people and not by senatorial
aspirants might turn the trick possibly.
At least the Journal hopes to see one COM
petent for it's work in session next winter
Lincoln Journal.
This may sound very plausible to peo-
pie not ,conversant with the history Of
the last legislature. But everybody in
Nebraska who knows anything about
Nebraska legislatures knows that the
Legislature of 1901 will stand comparison
with any previous legislature that has
made laws for this state.
Everybody in Nebraska who is fairly
Informed concerning the difficulties en-
countered by the last legislature In COM
ing to an agreement on ap~portionment
bills and other legislation imperatively
demanded by the people knows that the
trouble was not with the candidates for
United States senator, but with the cor
porations that wanted to dictate candi-
dates or defeat candidates. Had these
corporations and their satellites kept
their hands or the Legislature. its duty
to elect two United States senator's
would have been discharged on the first
joint ballot As it was, the bully-rag-
ging, wire-pulling and b~ulldozing by
which the corporation lobby kept the
Legislature in a ferment continued from
the beginning to the last day of the
session.
1t would be altogether different in a
special session. There would be no SEN
ator to elect, no corporation bills to fight
over, no jobs to give out and no trades
to negotiate. The legislature would
meet to transact the business embodied
in the governors call and with no dis
turbing factors it would easily get
through its work within twenty days.
To assume that the republican ma
jority Of the legislature cannot be per-
suaded to do its duty to the people when
convened for a specific purpose is to as
sumo that the republican party is unit
to govern Nebraska. The Bee is not
willing to make that admission.

The capitalization OF 1873 concerns So
called trusts, is placed at 5000. OOO. 900
Does anyone realize What this enormous
amount actually means2 It means that 1888
concerns are capitalized with a capital
amount of one-half the worlds entire
stock Of money. 1t means that the capital
ization Of these concerns exceeds the total
stock Of money Of the United States by
two billion dollars; of Great Britain by
nearly $4,000, 900. 900; OF Germany by about
50, 900. 900. 900, and so forth. The total capi-
tai OF these 1873 concerns equals more than
the entire stock Of money Of the United
States. Great Britain and Germany COM
bined.
Now, what is this capitl based on, and
what amount Of security is offered to Sc
cure investors against loss in case these
concerns should fail? Let us start at the
largest, capitalized at about ST. 900 900.
The actual value OF the entire plant OF
this colossus is admitted to be $500, 900, 600,
and the balance Of 81, 000, 900, 900 Is good will.
ordinarily called water" Another is cap
itallzed at 500, 900, 900, and the actual value
OF the plant Is about $50, 900, 900. Another is
capitalized at $50, 900, 900 when the actual
value does not exceed $4,000, 900, and so on
down the line.
The FIRST thing which is done when such
a trust is formed is TO give the promoters
about 10 per cent OF the stock for
services rendered, and the public press Is
full OF articles relating how this man or
that man, famous In the financial world,
holds so many millions Of stock, but does
anyone ever think Of the fact hat that
prominent inancier Immediately proceeds
to rid himself Of at least 80 per cent OF
his holdings, and unload It on the public
through the medium Of the Stock ex-
changes7
The public buys these shares, and when
the trust actually gets down to work about
30 per cent Of the entire capital stock is
sued is scattered among investors who have
probably only invested because Jones or
Smith held so many millions of It. When
the thing goes up all these little holders
wonder why they are ruined. while the man
who had so much stands by. is cool and
smiles.
The hour-miling bubble is still fresh in
the peoples minds. The stock was issued
on the first day on the Change at 90, adj
vanced to so. so as to give the public a
chance to bite, and then gracefully declined
to zero. The promoters Of that bubble
are rich today. Wby7
And so 1t is with many others. One espe-
cially deserves mention; the stock Of this
concern rates above par, yet only a year
ago the so-called officers paid nearly

The supervising architect of the treas
ury is said to have been persuaded that
the money appropriated for the Omaha
federal building will cover the expense
Of finishing the Seventeenth street. front
in conformity with the Sixteenth street
front. With $4,000 appropriated by
the last congress for the west wing
there ought to have been at least a bal
ance of $1,000 600 ON hand after the build
ing was completed. If it is true, as re-
ported. that over 100000 of the appro-
priation for Omaha's federal building
has already been absorbed for architects
fees and plans alone, the alleged INSULT
cheney Of the appropriation may be in
part explained.

II the enterprising Turkish n!

If the enterprising Turkish newspaper
reporters could only be persuaded to
keep away from the brigands that car
ried of Miss Stone she would have long
ago been liberated on the ransom raised
by her American friends. This, at least,
is the version which comes to us all the
way from Constantinople through the
medium of q veracious American mis-
sionary. The next thing we expect to
heal is that the Turkish newspaper rep
resentatiyes are playing brigands them
selves and have raised the ante a little
higher.
