FOR SALE. Steam Touring Car

A E
 This car was built to order for 8 government engineer, and he had only used it few times when he was called to the Philippine Islands by the government. I was fortunate enough to secure this car and at price which l consider a great bargain. Had it not been for the fact that my family is so little, comprising only myself. this car would not be for sale. How ever, if you are more fortunate ill hay ing 8 family to fill it up you can se- cure the best bargain in an automo- bile that was ever to be had in the New England states. This car will seat four comfortably dos-a-dos atyle; is fitted with large box front, artillery wheels-in fact the very latest i'm proyements that make up aD up-to- date touring car. Address

THE TORRENs BILL

Hon. H. H. Hanks, former repre-
sentative from Otoe, and fusion nomi-
nee for congress last fall, called on
The Independent the other day and
led that the members of the legis-
lature be reminded that although rev.
enue is an important subject, the CUES
ton of a rational system of trans
ferring land titles is also important.
Representative Loomis Of Dodge
has a bill which covers the subject,
and it ought not to be allowed to die
in committee. Mr. Hanks says that
the county authorities of Cook coun-
ty, Illinois, inform him that the av-
erage cost of making transfer under
the Torrens system now in vogue
there is something like $3.50; under
the old abstract of title idea, the cost
would run up into hundreds OF dol
lars in many cases. Nebraska should
be progressive. She cannot afford to
hold to old superstitions regarding
transfer of land titles and should get
in the band wagon. A few hundred
second-rate lawyers and abstracters
might be Obliged to enter some other
field of employment if modern sys-
tenn should be adopted-but the thou
sands of real estate owners would be
the gamers. Make it easy to transfer
the title to land, and the value will
be enhanced.

TO DOWN BRYAN

There will be more plutocratic boo
die distributed in Nebraska during the
next two years than has been dis
posed of here for the last ten years.
The republicans and gold democrats
have determined to down Bryan in his
own state and turn the organization
of the democratic party over to the re-
organizers. The plan is boldly an
nounced. They want to keep Bryan
out of the next democratic national
convention and to do that they must
capture the organization in this state.
While the Offices to be contended for
in the state this year are a supreme
judge and regents of the state uni
versity, they do not enter into the
contest at all. The fight will be to
capture the democratic primaries and
hold the state committee and organi-
zation for the next year. +.
That the republicans are III the
scheme no one can doubt. They will
vote every republican possible at the
democratic primaries and the railroads
will bring such cattle into the state
by the hundreds. There will be more
money spent to capture the next dem
ocratic state convention in Nebraska
than was ever spent in the state be-
fore at any election. If the pluto
Gratis can capture that convention and
get the state committee, it will be no
Job at all for them to hold the state
organization for the next year and
the democratic delegates from Nebras-
ka will be for Dave Hill, Judge Parker
or some other eastern plutocrat for
president, while Bryan will not be, al
lowed to show his face in the national
body when it meets.
File this article away and then
watch. You will see that every word

A DILEMM M A

The United States supreme court, in
the Elmwood elevator case, said in eff
feet that a railroad right of way is
private property and that for the state
board of transportation to order the
Missouri Pacific to give an elevator
site to the Farmers Alliance associa-
ton would, if enforced, amount to a
taking of property without due pro-
cess of law, and was, therefore, in
violation of the 14th amendment.
But now our own supreme court in
the McLucas case holds that a rail-
road right of way is a public highway
and, therefore, adverse possession can
never run against it.
If it be a public highway, then some
properly constituted authority can
certainly grant the use of any portion
of right of way not actually occupied
by the railroad tracks, depots or sid
ings, just as the city council may
grant street railway the right to
use and occupy the streets. But the
Elmwood decision holds otherwise.
Now, if we adhere to the private
property idea-as the United States
court. holds we must-then surely title
can be obtained by adverse possession
to such portions of the right of way as
are not actually being used as rail-
road-unless we assume that 5-foot
track by some legal fiction covers the
entire 200-foot strip of land and that
it is never possible for any portion to
be out of the railroads possession so
long as trains are run over the track
If A should fence off portion of
BIS farm and openly, notoriously and
adversely retain quiet and undisturbed
possession Of it for more than ten
years, what court would refuse him a
good title? That is substantially the
state of facts in the McLucas case.
Not even Philadelphia lawyer can
ever untangle the kinks in this rail-
road rope.

All taxes are paid out of incomes
and therefore are in reality income

BILE that anything can be paid out for

taxation could be avoided by simply
putting a tax sufficient to pay the
public expenses on incomes. The only
reason that it is not done is that such
system would make the rich pay
taxes at the same rate as the poor.
When man pays taxes on land or
on anything else, he pays it out of his

JUDICIAL ANARCHY

The greatest danger that threatens
the prosperity and peace of this-eotf-
try Hes in the federal courts. They
are the anarchy breeders OF this gem
GRAFTON. In West Virginia the other
day battle was fought growing out
of an injunction issued by federal
court. Last week in st. Louis the
federal judge, Elmer B.. Adams, uet
his name be remembered, for it is the
beginning of system unknown in the
world before) issued a blanket in
junction forbidding the employees OF
the Wabash railroad from uniting to
quit work, the full effect OF which Is
to absolutely destroy organized labor
un;o:ss.. IL federal judges have such
powers as this, every labor organiza-
tion In the United States might as
well disband at once, for the legal en-
slayement of free white men has been
provided for. Judge Tuley of Chicago,
In speaking of this injunction, says:
II believe that the issuing OF >,
such writs as Judge Adams brings
the administration of justice into
contempt. 1t breeds discomfort,
~and we will reap the WhlrlWlnd
some day from the seeds so sown. 81
The day may come in the near fu-
ture when the working classes Will
have political control, and will
appoint judges who will a!se issue
writs of injunction their raw
or. 1t is time to call a halt.
To The Independent it looks far
more probable that instead of work
ingmen ever being able to change the
constitution of the United States and
elect federal judges by vote OF the
people, that we will have more and
more of such work as occurred in West
Virginia.
There is great lamenting in the plu-
tocratic dailies because the anti-an-
archy bill failed to pass at this ses-
sion of congress, but the true patriot
will more sincerely lament because
the bill to. restrain the federal judges
from issuing such injunctions did not
pass. That bill, however, never had
a possibility of passing and never wi
have as long as there is republican
majority of lawmakers in Washing
ton.
Mark these words: The issuing OF
such an Injunction as Judge Adams
promulgated is the beginning of the
darkest days this republic has ever
known, unless it is modified or other
judges refuse to follow such pre-
cedent. 1t is anarchy in it's worst
form. -r
