a RECORD THAI SHOULD COUNT
Every public officer is expected 70 do

the SURFACES Of his fellow citizens for

record he has made should count for or

made by A. II. Hennings as city treas

ment on their money in the hands of
Treasurer Hennings, and no one has
even entertained a suspicion that he
ever farmed out any public money for
his private gain.
City Treasurer Hennings inaugurated
and put into force a vigorous policy of
! personal tax collections with the result
that delinquent personal taxes have
been almost wholly wiped of the tax
books. During previous terms it took
from FIVE to ten years before the 90
per cent OF the regular tax levy drawn
against Immediately, was collected,
while over 90 per cent of the 1905 reg
ular tax list was i'm the treasury by
February 1. 19O6-wlthin seven months
after date of delinquency.
The effect Of this more businesslike
administration of personal tax collec-
tions has been not only to save the
city large amounts of taxes due that
would otherwise have been wholly lost
but also to save the taxpayers the bur
den of expensive penalties and interest
During the first year of Mr.. Hennings
term more than $4,000 was exacted fol
penalties and interest on the personal
taxes collected, while for the last year
Of his term. although the aggregate col
lections had increased fully 30 per cent
penalties and interest on delinquents
was reduced to but little more thar

ELIGIBILITY.

A point of eligibility under the con-
stitutiOnal prohibition upon a member
of the executive department seeking
election to another state office during
the term for which he may have been
chosen has brought about the with
drawal of one prominently mentioned
candidate for governor, who. rather
than embarrass the party, will vOlun-
tarily retire to private life.
The constitution and the laws pre-
scribe a great many qualifications for
eligibility to public Office, but they are
for the most part of a technical charac-
ter, such, for example, as the require
ment that the governor shall have been
a citizen of the state and of the United
States for two years next preceding his
election; that he shall have attained the
age OF 80 years; that he shall not hold
at the same time any other state Of
flee; that the treasurer shall be ineligi-
BILE to third term; that members of
the legislature shall reside in the dis
tricts respectively which they repre-
sent, and so on. On only one point OF
eligibility does the constitution of Ne
braska get beyond the technicalitles of
age, citizenship and duplicate office
holding, and that is when It disqualifes
any person in default as a custodian
Of public funds from being eligible to
ONCE. In the tribunal of public senti-
ment, however, there are great many
other considerations that go or should
go in determining the eligibility OF
aspirants for public office.
The qualifications eXacted outside of
and in addition TO the legal pre-requls-
ties doubtless vary from time to time,
according to the issues that are pre-
scented. They at all times include hon
esty, integrity, veracity and the at
tributes that go to make a man reliable
and trustworthy, as distinguished from
unreliable and untrustworthy.
In the present state of public opinion
in Nebraska just now it is safe to say,
too, that one OF the prime pre-requis-
tues W ellklDlnly 10 ONCE IL u SdIlSIdC-
tory record of public and private life,
measuring up approximately to Presi-
dent RoOsevelt's idea Of the square"
deal. The railroad capper and the dis
credited oil room lobbyist are on the
list of ineligibles, and so are the cor
poration attorneys who constantly take
orders from headquarters. The bars
are up against rebate shippers who
have sold themselves for railroad favors
and corporation hirelings generally,
whether they get their pay in cash or
in free passes for themselves and their
relatives and friends.
The people of Nebraska are making a
few rules on eligibility to ONCE for
themselves these days, and while these
rules may not be recognized by the
courts or be enforceable by mandamus,
injunction or quo warrantO, they will
have the more potent backing OF the
ballot box, which is the real court of
last resort ON the qualifications of pub
lie servants.

HARD AND SOFT coAL vrEREsrs.

HARD AND SOFT COAL INTERESTS.
1t is a mistake to assume that the
coal troubles are so simple that they
can be accurately stated as a mere dis
pnte between the miners union on the
one hand and the mine operators on the
other. Back of that and more impor-
tant is Il growing antagonism between
the anthracite and the bituminous coal
mining interests. Indeed it is the con-
fiict between them that the directing
minds Of the miners union have seized
upon as an opportunity for forcing large
concessions to it and that in large part
has encouraged them to stand out so
boldly for their demands
The great strike in the anthracite re-
gi0n four years ago was a tremendous
competitive advantage to the soft coal
interests, which was not slow to profit
by it. The enforced use of the cheaper
fuel not only proved to be saving
to consumers while the strike lasted,
hut also by overcoming their preju-
dices and revealing to large users the
danger of dependence on the anthra-
cite supply which is practically monop-
olized caused many TO resort to soft coal
long after the labor trouble had been
settled Another prolonged struggle in
the anthracite region would be a grave
blow to the proprietary interest there
aud could not fail immensely to advance
the soft coal interest in the market.
This is q fact which gives point to the
official refusal of President Baer on be-
half OF the anthracite operators to
unioniZe the mines on the score that the
miners organization is controlled by
rival industry" and it also explains
long series Of maneuvers the last six
months on the part of the operator rep
resentatives of the bituminous regions,
particularly their disposition recently to
concede a considerable increase of
wages, 1t will be impossible perma-
neptly to hold the hard and soft coal
interests together against the competi-
tive forces pulling them apart, but one
of the chief points in the pending labor
trouble rests upon the answer to the
question whether for the time truce

1NMUNIrr sUBrERFUeB DESTROYED |

IMMUNITY SUBTERFUGB DESTROYED.
The decision Of the United States SUI
preme court in the Tobacco and Paper
trust cases defining the scope OF i'm
munity to witnesses, removes one Of the
greatest obstacles in the way Of public
ofiicials in enforcing the state and ma
tional laws governing corporations.
There has, of course, never been a doubt
that the clause of the fifth amendment
to the federal constitution, 'No one
shall be compelled, in any criminal case,
to be a witness against himself" af-
forded complete immunity so far as the
witness himself is concerned, and nu-
merous laws have been passed both
by congress and state legislatures car
rylng out the exemption, going so far
as to provide that no testimony Of a
witness may be directly or Indirectly
used against him in any other pro-
ceeding or trial.
But no weapon in the hands Of cor
porations has been more effective hith-
ertO for multiplying the laws for their
control than the misconstruction OF this
constitutional provision whereby their
officers and agents have refused to tes-
tify as to violations of which they had
knowledge because such testimony
would ineriminate them. As they were
the only witnesses by whom the Of
lenses could be proved and as the courts
have entertained or sanctioned the i'm
munity excuse for years, the force OF
the most important laws, like the Sher-
man antitrust law, under which the
cases arose, has been in large part lost
ana corporations viciously encouraged
by the belief that they were beyond
reach Of the law.
The supreme court now sweeps away
the whole ground of this exasperating
system OF corporation evasion. The de-
eision holds broadly that the constitu.
tional provision has no reference what.
ever to corporations. It's reasoning is
impregnable, for if one person cannot
refuse to testify because the result
would be to incrimlnate another person
much less can the intangible thing
known as a corporation. itself the erea,
ton of the law. be permitted to escape
on this plea. The court takes the broad
position that the immunity Of the con
sttution is, as ii was intended to be
solely personal privilege of the wit
ness himself, aud not a imminent OF
corporations in their violations OF IN,
law which, as they can be perpetratet
orly through officers ana agents. car
