Questioning Candidates

The practice of securing a written
statement from candidates, started by
the National Federation for Majority
Rule, is meeting with favor every
where. In Omaha every nominee at
the coming city primaries, whether he
be democrat, republican or indepen-
dent, will be asked and urged to go
on record on matters pertaining to
good government and equal taxation,
as the Omaha real estate exchange
sees it. A resolution was strongly
advocated and unanimously adopted
at a meeting. of the exchange last
week, setting for this intention. The
resolution is asserted to be free and
above political lines, and committee
of five will be appointed by the chair
to obtain of the nominee a written
statement on certain questions to be
drafted by the committee.

Safe Insurance

The governor has signed the law
requiring the officers of mutual hail
insurance companies to give a bond
of $4,000 in some guarantee bond
company approved by the state audi
tor. The conditions of this bond are
that the officers of the mutual hail in
surance companies will honestly ac.
count for all premiums collected and
that so per cent will be deposited in
some approved bank as a reserve for
the payment of losses sustained by
members of the company. The reserve
cannot be used for any other purpose
except the payment of losses. The
law is a good one and will make hail
insurance as safe and desirable as any
other class of insurance.

head was used to question the candi-
dates, the communication being signed
| by Mr.. Cruice, as chairman of the
nonpartisan federation. Two letters
were sent out, together with other
| material, showing that failure to
reply might meet with opposition, and
shortly before election report was
made up, and sent out to the candi-
dates who had not replied This
brought three additional replies. a to-
tai of 12S out of 1872 nominees Not
one of the dailies published the re-
port; only temporary organization
had been made; only three labor un-
ions had returned to us an adopted
resolution; and in only ten of the
wards was there any real contest, and
in these the questions were not de-
bated on the stump. Yet in the face
OF all tEis 1t was found that of the 35
men elected, more than majority
(18) had signed the pledge. This
pledge called for not only recognf-
ton OF the will of the majority as to
municipal ownership, but also that
rules OF procedure would be voted for,
providing the optional referendum as
to all franchises.
During the year there has been
determined effort to get the rule of
procedure enacted but as half of the
aldermen held over, and the Munic-
lpal Voters league opposed the refer
endum, success was not attained. But
since this springs victory the final
meeting Of the old board of aldermen
IS to take up the rule of procedure sys-
tenn, and 1t is quite likely that ere
this appears in print the system will
have been adopted in Chicago. The
system is in operation at Winnetka,
ILL.,, Geneva, ILL.,, Detroit, Mich, To-
ronto, Can, Vancouver, B. c., and
Waco and San Antonio, Tex.
Not only has the questioning of
candidates saved the people of Chi

twice it has reversed the action of
the republican county convention.
Both years the convention refused to

neWal OF the street railway fran
chlses, but the questioning of candi-
dates reversed this action. This year
lo out OF the 18 successful republican
candidates are pledged. These 10 plus
the democrats who are pledged gives
a majority of the men elected this
year. And the questioning last year
secured majority for the referendum,
part OF whom were republicans, thus
reversing the action Of the republican
convention. This was not the first
time that the decision Of a conyen-
ton had been reversed. Last year in
California the republican state con-
yention refused to promise to submit
a constitutional amendment for the
referendum and initiative, but so out
OF a successful republican candidates
for the legislature were pledged as the
result of questioning by the state fed
Grafton OF labor. In Missouri, too. the
same thing occurred last year. And
IN Montana organized labor, by uues-
tionin9 candidates as to- the submis-

old car that stood on Wells street
has been taken up and run QUO

We understand amicable proceed

the two railroad companies which
will result In the court granting the
street railway company franchise
to cross the B. & o. Track, Under
the franchise granted the street
railway company 1t has until Janu-
ary the fist to complete the line
down Wells street so the council
feels as If 1t has no right at this
time to 60 any farther In the matter.
The railroad company is losing
good and true friends daily by Its
actions In this regard and we do not
think 1t can afford to get the Ill will
of the people of this city and county.
We have fought hard for the street
car lines, granted them every
right asked for but we can fight
iust as hard on the other side OF
The question. We regret the CON-
pany has been so dilatory In the mat
ter. lis not right nor Is 1t fair to
our city. We hope the council will
push the matter. If the franchise
was granted upon condition the
road would be completed by jan
uary first that does moi mean the
company can run cars ,ver part Ct
Wells street only. 1t means the
whole of the street will be operated
by cars by that time and not such
parts of the street as Suits the COM
pany. We think the council can
at least have some defoite' talk
with the company and unless some
thug reasonable Is done It can stop
the cars running part of the
way into the city. The indignation
OF the people Is growing daily. Now
Is the time to act before the lot
sale comes off. We hope the
council will act vigorously on this
matter AID at once. A car can
easllyFun down and change at the
crossing which would be almost ss
good as If 1t run over the crossing,

titled to- them and ought to have

lowers and believes. We are get

US.
But to get back to the equlnoc

Years ago the equInoctlal storm
used to come regularly enough, If
our grandtathers remember cor.
rectly, to set the clock by. Along
about September 21st the winds
began to howl and the rains 70 de-
scend, and the only accurate de-
scription of the rest Of the event Is
found In the sacred book where
Noah and his storm are
introduced. The country roads
grew deep with mud to tie
wagon hubs. Cattle shlvered on
the leeward side of the haystacks
and barefooted boys hanted up their
boots Yet ON Monday 1t was as
benign a fall day as ever came with
an Indian Summer, which Is to be
hoped Is still due In this day OF
skepticism. The equInoctial storm
has deceived the people who, Eor
all their lives, have stood up bod
lily Ia Its defense. It has been do
Ing chat for years. It has been
going from bad to worse, like a
man who has undertaken to drown
old John Barleycorn. Hence, If the
equlnoctial storm desires In the
future to do Business In this couR-
try and have any real standing, X
had better improve Its schedule and
get around on time.

A VAST SUM OF MONEY.
Hartman Lines Spend More Than a
Hundred Million Dollars.

Evidently, President Hartman
meant what he said when he told the
merchants Of San Francisco during his
last visit that he proposed to make the
Southern Pacific and Union Pacific
systems second to none in the world
He may not have said just those words
but he gave that impression. Judging
from recent reports taken from off,
cial records. this new moving power in
western railway affairs does not pro
pose b any means to distribute all
his profits in dividends to the stock
holders. These figures show that
during a period of less than three
years up to June 30, 1908, the aggre-
gate expenditures for betterments and
equipment on all lines in the Harri-
man system were S1Ol l,34S,369 Some
idea what this means is gained by
noting that this amount is more than
the total estimated expenditures nee.
essary for the completion Of the Pana.

The work has been going on stead
lily for about three years on all lines
Of the system between Omaha and San
Francisco as well as between here and
Portland and between here and New
Orleans. Into all these main lines as
well as upon the branches, some of
these millions of money have gone, all
the expenditures being with the idea
of establishing railway system equal
to any ever constructed. But the
present plans of the directors will not
stop here for the work now actually
under way will increase the figures
above stated by several millions. The
rapid development of the Pacific
coast and western territory, and the
awakening and increase
of Pacific commerce, are the causes
of these expenditures which put the
railways on the footing demanded by
the possibilities Of the traffic, and the
outlook, in the Judgment of the far
