IGNORANCE OF CITY CHARTER
Proposition Argued by AttOFHey a.
Basis of suit Against
the CITY

Attorney Charles f. Clapp, in an ap-
pealed damage case in district court,
George w, Forbes against the city, has
raised the legal question that on May 81.
1906, there was no new city charter In
existence in the city OF Omaha. Mr.. Clapp
sets up that copy of the new law did
not reach the Office of City Comptroller
Lobeck until August and that the Session
Laws OF 1905 were not published until some
time later. Consequently. he says, his
client was unable to ascertain the pro-
visions OF the new charter and was COM
PEELED to follow the law as It had existed
for many years and filed an appeal bond
with City Comptroller Lobeck in due ac-
cordanee with the law as 1t staad at the
time.
1t is further set up that 10 motion to
dismiss filed by the city attorney should
be sustained It would deprive plaintiff OF
his right to have the action decided on III
merits.

PRIMARY ELECTION FuRUu,
Ure for County comnI.sioper.

OMAHA, Sept ito the Editor Of The
Bee: l note that Congressman Kennedy
In his Sixth ward speech is reported 20 have
said that there never was a greater abun-
dance Of good material for candidates than.
there is this Yesr, and that if the people
did not go to the primaries and select the
best men they would have themselves TO
blame. This is the sentiment OF all good
citizens.
Among all the important offlces to be
Allied this fall perhaps none is more i'm
Portant than that of county commissioner.
Under the new law these commissioners
not only vote to levy and expsnd something
like 81, 100000 during their term Of once hut
also pass upon the cqualizst tion Of aH prop
eFty In the city on which the city and
school taxes are to be collected. Douglas
county alone is valued at something like
OOOOOO-about one-seventh Of the entire
value Of the state.
Is It not strange that the people Of
Douglas county, who are the stackhaideFs
Of the county, should be Indifferent as TO
who shall be the commissioners, who are
practically the directors or the corporati tion.
to conduct its business? Any stockholder
In any corpora tion OF similar magnitude
would feel It his duty to see that good
men were selected as the directors. why
should not every citizen feel the same OBJ
lgation In reference to the selection Of
commissioners. The primary law Is in
tended not only to allow the people to vote
for candidates, but also to select the can
didates by direct vote.
Among the candidates that are mentioned
wish to speak a word for Mr. w @. IRE
who has consented to run for commissioner
know him very intimately and have been
associated with him for several years in
seeking to bring about the equalization of
taxes in Omaha, Douglas county and the
state. Mr., IRE has been the secretary of
the committee OF the Real Estate exchange
and such he has been the foremost man
in the work of tax reform. It was he who,
with others. went to Lincoln and by a re-
ductlon OF the state levy on Douglas county
saved the county $4,000 in one year He
also was the main support of Mr. Mcintosh
who made a fight before the legislat for
the taxation of the Omaha terminals. He
is well informed not only on questions Of
taxation, but also upon the finances Of the
county having given special attention to
this when It was proposed TO bond the
county a large sum Of money to pay the
countys indebtedness and current expenses.
He was opposed to these bonds and II was
through his efforts that they we're defeated.
While he is anti-corporation, he/is a con-
servative man and would not vote to injure
any property, but would insist that all be
treated alike. Mr.. Ure will have strong
endorsement II the people understand who
ne is and what he stands for.
