Future of Ak-Sar-Ben Concerned

sar-Ben organizations but we have to say
that the operation OF the Ak-Sar- Ben Or
ganization IL not only indirectly beneficial
to Omaha as advertising our prosperous
city, but our actual increase IN sales (. ON
both limitations and the festival are so
great that the small amount that we do
contribute each year Is repaid TO us many
times.
I'VE have always considered that Omaha
and it's business interests were particularly
fortunate in being able to enlist the expert
enoe and good judgment of such a number
OF representative business men In the d.
Fection OF its AFFAIRS We realize fully the
amount Of work that has to be done during
almost the entire year by the board OF gov
errors. and the care for detail that must
be exercised TO prepare and conduct so eco
nomically and successfully the initia L ms,
the parades and the festival and at such
a small cost 10 it's citizens.
Regarding our subscription. we look upon
the amount that we have heretofore sub
scribed as moderate, and stand ready to
increase our subscription IL the board OF
governors need the money"
But the pledges OF financial support are
very disappointing. Only about 5000 has
been pledged, while the annual cost OF the
parades Is something over $1,000 Il Is true
In past years a substantial part OF the ex-
pense has been paid by the PROFITS on the
street carnival, but a rainy week would
turn these profits into loss, and the board
Of governors would then be personally LA
bic for a large dehcit They have there
fore concluded that unless the merchants,
hotels, railroads and other business inter
ests that are directly benefited in imam
eial way are willing 70 pledge the cost Of
the parades that they must be discontinued.
The mtmDers Of the board do not believe
they should be called upon 10 30 out on
the streets and beg for the money 10 nay
for these parades, IN addition 70 giving
much OF their valuable time and attention

A great deal of pressure has been

believed that this action VIII arouse a
great protest from the liquor business

mittee will hear considerable argu-
ment from both sides before the Ques-
tion is disposed of.
The Anti-SaIoOn League takes the po-
sition that prohibition ia the National
Capital would give great impetus 10 the

was of the opinion that some OF the
views expressed in the minority report

were based upon a premature conclu-
sion,
He said that this Government was not
In a position to undertake the construc-
uon of a canal on the scale as outlined
by the minority. in that the geological
conditions on the isthmus had not been
thoroughly determined as yet

he then went on TO give a scientific
exposition of the conditions pertaining
both to a sea-levei and a lock canal He
outlined the construction of a dam as
provided for in the report and called
attention to the many disasters that
have resulted from the breaking or Civ
ing away of dams. the cause of which
were inadequate precautions to prevent
such disasters from the effects of an

He argued that all this would be

COURTS SUPPORT NOT SURE

A full report on the Wiley bill for
the removal Of snow and ice from the
sidewalks of Washington. submitted
TO the House today by Representative
Kline a member Of the District Com
-nittee, says the Legislation is asked as
a third and last effort TO secure a snow
and ice law that viii meet the ap-
provaI of the Court of Appeals.
After pointing out that the court
may approve this regulation if passed
by Congress, although it ruled against
it as a Commissioner regulation, the
report says:
Courts May Not Sustain It.
1T is not certain that the court viii
uphold the law even if the bill should
be passed. but the Commissioners are
anxious TO exhaust every possible
means of securing an effective snow and
ice law before they are compelled to do
the work through an appropriation made
by Congress.
'"rhe work of removing the snow and
ice in a city of the size of Washington
presents almost insuDerable difficulties.
IF as might be the case, the cost of
cleaning the sidewalks is assessed
against the properties abutting thereon,
an increase in the clerical force of the
assessors s office would be necessary, in
aSmuc1 as IneTe are over 1Ut.DBV pieces
of property against which the assess
ment would have been levied. A sepa-
rate set Of books would be necessary,
and the preparation of bills and other
clerical work would be quite exten-
sive.
Last Resort.
.If this effort is not successful the
Commissioners viii then appeal to Con-
gress for an appropriation to clean the
snow and ice, but they do not feel justi-
fed in inviting this charge upon the
community until every other effort has
been tried and found wanting. The cost
viii necessarily be a large one. for it is
not likely that the great ma jority of the
people in the community will undertake
TO do for themselves that which the
