Interest ON County Deposits.

The last report made by the county

able difference in the amount Of monev
collected BY the various treasurers as
interest on county deposits. This mat
ter is now being agitated In some of
the counties and In instances 4, has
been made an incident OF the cam
paign. This report shows that the
treasury Of Douglas county was exam
ined January 7. 1904. and on January
8. 1906. During the time between the, 4
was collected interest on the Comfy
deposits $7,472.61. The balance on the
first date was s16s,291ss and on the
last date $248, 1885. Lancaster county
was examined January 4, 1906. and De-
cember 81. 1905. The interest collect
ed on deposits during this period be-
tween the two dates was $2.129.16. The
balance on hand on the first date was
$163,195.6S and ON the last date 5000,
776,01. Richardson county fell down
below these counties in collecting in
terest. That county was examined
January \. 1906, and January 8. 1906,
with a balance the first date Of $62,-
S72.06 and on the last date $57,95446.
The interest collected was only $49050.
But Richardson county came in ahead
Of Webster. Otoe. York. Gosper, Burt

collect any interest on deposits. Otoe

Nebraska's Seat OF Government
Rule to Favor Soldiers.

j. II. Presson, commandant Of the
Nebraska Soldiers and Sailors home
ut Milford, under appointment fro n
Governor Sheldon, and who also
served in the same capacity under
the administration of Governor Mickey,
declared In statement that the old
soldiers and the public generally
should understand that the recent
resolution fixing terms of admission to
the soldiers homes is more favorable
to the old soldiers than any action ever
before taken by state officers. The
change was made for the sole pur-
pose OF giving TO the old soldiers adj
vantages which they never before had.
DR.. Presson's statement is as follows:
THE criticism of the action of the
present state board resulted from a
Misunderstanding OF it's dties, and
what 1t has done. Under the original
management a soldier drawing more
than 81 month could not be admitted.
Later the rule was changed to re-
quire, as a condition OF admission, pay
ment of all Of the pension in excess
OF $12 month. In the interests of
the soldiers the present state board
has made q rule by which those draw
Ing monthly pension of more than $12
may have the benefit OF the home by
paying TO the institution percentage
of income up to $50 a month.
"The state board could not depart
from the provisions Of the statute, and
the liberal course taken can only be
justified under that provision Of the
law which authorizes the state board
to make rules. It may not be gener-
ally known, but II is a fact that the
statute under which the home was
created and under which It Is now
maintained. extends its FREQ benefits
only to those who are dependent upon
public or private charity.
THE home was first controlled by a
visiting board composed of soldiers
and the wives of soldiers. This board
adopted rule to the effect that sol
diers drawing pension of S12 month
could not be admitted under the terms
of the statute since they were not
subjects Of public or private charity.
