PDPULAR ELECTION OF SENATOR'S.
To couple the proposition Of amend
ing the constitution so as to require the
election Of United states senators by
direct vote Of the people with q propo-
sition extending the terms of members
Of the house from two TO four years,
as the Norris bill does, is to reduce the
chances Of success for change in the
method OF electing senators for which
there is strong popular demand, and
to delay II not prevent its realization.
There is no pressing demand for
doubling the length of the terms OF
members Of the house a scheme which
has not even been generally discussed.
Indeed, the proposed change as to men,
bers OF the house is contradictory in a
measure of the spirit of the movement
for the change as to senators, for
whereas the latter is designed to make
more immediate and complete the CON
troll of the people over members of the
upper house, the effect of the former
would tend by lengthenlng the term of
Office to diminish such control over
members Of the lower house.
Under the most favorable circum-
stances that can be conceived 1t will
be a tedious process to incorporate In
the constitution provision for the pop
uiar election of senators, unencumbered
by any side issues. 1t has been demon
strated over and over again that the
change cannot even be proposed with
the concurrence Of the necessary two
thirds Of the senate for ratification by
three-fourths Of the legislatures or con-
ventions OF the several states, and there
is little reason whatever to hope for
a change of the attitude of the senate
The only possible alternative method is
through the application Of the legisla-
lures Of two-thirds Of the states for a
convention for proposing amendments
Some preliminary steps are indeed be
ing taken in this direction, but prac
tically the whole journey remains tc
be made. But obviously 1t is q long
road to travel and will require unre
hitting agitation and pressure.
Without waiting for this the people
Of many states have proceeded to &c
as far as they can toward electing sen
ators by means of direct primary nom
nations which are Immediately avail
able. And it may well turn out thai
the most expeditions and possibly the
only way Of bringing about the consti
tutlonal change is by thus establishing
in advance Of 1t as nearly as may bC
the popular election of senators. Obvi
ously the movement can be best pro
NOTED by sharpening the issue and sep
arating it from instead of encumberinl
1t with any unnecessary complications

NO LAND LEASING LEsTsLAr1o

NO LAND LEASING LEGISLATION
The declaration in Washington by
Congressman Kinkaid that he would
oppose any and all special acts to pro
vide for the leasing Of public lands in
Nebraska for grazing purposes. practi-
cally sounds the death knell Of land
leasing legislation so far as the present
congress is concerned.
The futility Of the efforts Of western
Nebraska cattlemen to secure a leasing
bill is plainly due to differences among
themselves as to just what legislation
is necessary or desirable to meet the
necessities of the seml-arid region and
the diversity of views seems to be based
upon the fact that diverse conditions
present themselves in different parts Of
the cattle country to which a single uni
form rule cannot be satisfactorily APP
piled. In the meanwhile, the Kinkaid
bill, permitting the presumption Of an
enlarged homestead remains upon the
statute books and offers the only relief
that is in sight
A great transformation in the cattle
raising industry in the northwestern
part Of Nebraska is evidently in prog
ress and the exceptional advantages
enjoyed by the great cattle corpora
lions Of former days almost at an
end. The cattle raising industry, for
tunately, is not dependent upon any
particular scheme Of leasing legislation,
but will adapt itself to changed condi-
tons and again vindicate the ability Of
the oattlemen to win success against all
obstacles

RULES FOR ASSESSMENT.

The new rules adopted by the State
Board OF Assessment for the guidance
of county assessors cover a number of
doubtful points that have been raised
from time to time and open up new
points of doubt, which will probably
require court adjudication to settle.
In general the assessor is required
by the constitution to list everything in
the nature Of property or franchises
that is of marketable value, except 80
far as exempted because applied to
religious, charitable or educational
uses. The state boards rules under
take to include as articles of property
value, liquor licenses. reserve insurance
funds and some credit items, all Of
which will doubtless invite dispute.
There is no room for question. how
ever, that improvement has been made
in the direction of more equal assess
ments for taxation under the new rev.
enue law, but while room still remains
for further improvement the best and
only way to get these mooted points
finally adjusted is to have them brought
up for court decision in a proper case
and then enforce the courts interprete-
ton without discrimination.
While impressing upon the county as.
SCISSORS the necessity for them to do
their full duty, the members of the state
board should not forget that it is up to
them, themselves, to lead the way by
doing their full duty in the assessment
of railroad, telegraph and car company
property, whose valuation is fixed by
the board. A state assessment of rail-
road property reasonably conforming to
what that property with it's franchises
would sell for in the open market would
be an object lesson for every local as
SCISSOR in Nebraska, from the Missouri
river to the Colorado and Wyoming
lines.

PUBLIC OPINION AND RATE ApusEs.

The power of public opinion, when
aroused by fragrant corporation abuses,
was strikingly illustrated at the Kansas
City oil hearing wherein ]. r. KOontz,

testified that the decision OF the roads
not to resist in the courts the marked
reduction of state rates ON oil under
last winters legislation has been largely
due to Difference to public sentiment
The Santa Fe official explained par
ticularly that otherwise the rates would
have been contested before this and
that the roads considered 1t would be
better so far to submit to state au-
thority than to invoke the resentment
which resistance would arouse in the
public mind. By the testimony OF the

Da1EIInE Dividends.
Phlladelphla PCS.


The magnhcence of Standard Oil divi-
dends makes the average man gasp. In
eight years that company has paid TO its
shareholders 1892, 10000. or more than three
times the amount Of the par value Of it's
capital. 1t is the popular belief, which is
also the probable fact, that the great
Rockefeller group acquired it's ownership
Of the stock at relatively small figures.
These men organized the company, nursed
It in infancy, and now 1t has become the
siantess that plays mother to a big brood
OF subordinate oil trusts around the world.
The recent riots in southern Russia stilled
the petroleum industry there and brought
a profitable grist TO Standard OIL. II was
the only concern, on earth that could sup
ply all the petroleum required. An in
creased demand, accompanied by the inev-
table higher price during the last couple
Of years, has steadily enriched this great
American trust.

THE NINE WORKERS CONVENTION

THE NINE WORKERS CONVENTION
The tone of President MitchelTs adj
dress opening the convention of the
United Mine Workers at indianapolis is
conciliatory. as was to be expected
from him. The calling of the conven-
ton at this time is in itself circum-
stance implying a spirit which makes
hopeful the possibility of bringing to-
gether parties to an Industrial dispute
so widely apart as the operators and the
mine workers were apparently left by
the February convention Of the latter
and the subsequent action of the en-
ploying companies.
President Roosevelt's note sent to
Mr.. Mitchell, urging the convention now
in session as a means for composing the
difficulties, II any proof were necessary,
shows that no resource at his command
will be left unexhausted to maintain in
dustriaI peace. At the same time the
public interest, which he voices, may
now be expected to exert itself more
actively and earnestly than it has here
tofore done.
The losses and evil consequences OF
a general strike to the operators and
mine workers themselves are so far
reaching and fatal that the closer con-
temptation of them ought to move both
parties to every effort to avert what
President Roosevelt rightly describes as
"a public calamity"
