Senator Sibley has introduced two
bills to amend the revenue law to make
it more stringent and less easily evad-
ed. Both measures are said to have
the support of the state association of
assessors. One will make it impossible
to collect any evidence of indebted
ness such as a note or mortgage until
the taxes on it have been paid. The
other requires mercantile corpora
tons to make a schedule showing the
volume of business transacted as a
basis of taxation.

A delegation of railroad men ap.
peared before the senate committee
on railroads and left written requests
from various organizations of train
men for the senate to request the Ne
braska representatives in congress to
vote against the La Toilette sixteen
hour law. The railroad men argued
against the s~iXteen-hour law, claim
ing it would require trainmen to
leave their posts at the end of six
teen hours, regardless of where the
train might be, except in case of acct
dent or storm, or similar emergen-
cies. The committee will seek further
information on the subject.

Norris Brown, made senator from
Nebraska by the solid vote of republi-
cans in the legislature, is "A years
old. He has been in public life fifteen
years. eight of them in service as a
state officer. He was born near Ma
quoketa, Ia, in 1868, and spent his
early years on a farm. Mr.. Brown
worked his way through college, and
in the Iowa state university took the
bachelor Of arts degree in 1883, and
the masters degree two years later.
He studied for the bar then, and,
upon his admittance. moved to Perry,
Ia. and opened an Office. While there
he married Miss Lulu Beeler and the
two decided to move west. 1t was in
1888 that they moved to Kearney,
which has been their home ever since,
although Mr.. Browns duties have
kept them in Lincoln the greater part
of the last eight years. His election
to the senate is for the full term of
six years.

Senator McKesson's bill to exempt
from taxation that part of the value
of real estate represented by a taxed
mortgage, introduces a lively question
for debate. Under the law proposed
the tax on a mortgage may be paid
in either of two w2ys, by the holder of
the mortgage or by the owner Of the
land under agreement with the mort
gagee. A farmer who borrows money
and gives a mortgage may agree, pre-
sumably in consideration of a lower
interest rate. to pay the mortgage tax;
or he may pay the tax only on the un-
mortgaged value Of his land while
the owner of the mortgage pays the
tax on the mortgage. presumably pro-
tecting himself by a higher interest
rate. Such a proceeding, with all its
complications, amounts in effect to
abolishing the tax on real estate mort
cages, since the mortgage and the
land together would pay tax only on
the assessed value OF the land.

The state board OF agriculture has
been in session in the capital city, and
from proceedings it is learned that
the society has on hand a surplus of
$4,000 from last year. The board
will ask this year, instead OF the
usual appropriation for the support
of the state fair. an annual levy of
u of a mill to make permanent i'm
provements on the state fair grounds
and provide for other expenses.
A sweeping measure for regulation
of the liquor traffic was introduced
bv Senator Patrick of Saunders. He
proposes that saloon men shall be
liable for all damages resulting either
to the community or to the individual
from the traffic, and that they shall
support all widows and orphans that
result from the business and pay all
eypeuses of civil and criminal suits
that arise. Not only is the saloon
keeper to be held responsible, but
likewise those who sign his petition
NAV be held for any damages that
may follow.

The strongest opponents Of the child
labor bill, as it now stands, appear to
be the older members of the legisla-
ture, who were brought up on the hard
work of the farm and appear to look
back on those days with a keen relish
of the self-reliance it gave them in
after life. That the present bill might
prevent farmers from putting their
boys to work in the field seems to be
the fear of some. Main provisions of
the bill are set forth elsewhere.
Senator Patrick of Sarpy has intro
duced a bill to permit the ommence-
ment of suits in any court except the
supreme court by the serving by the
plaintiff on the defendant that he will
on or before a certain date file a pc
tition or bill of particulars in a speci-
fed court and stating the nature of
the action and if money is sued for,
the amount. This notice shall follow
a prescribed form and may be served
by an officer or by any person over
81 years of age. This measure before
final disposition, is likely to create a
good deal Of discussion.

While members of the joint railroad
committee, which is authorized to
draft and present to the house and
senate 4 bill giving authority to the
State Railroad commission, have va
rious views in the matter and may be
some time in getting together. there
is a strong sentiment for the drafting
of a bill which merely gives to the
commission the power to fix rates.
Some members OF the committee are
of the opinion that the bill should con-
tain the minimum rates to be charged
and if these rates are not compensa-
tory then it would be up to the rail-
roads IT, produce evidence that such is
the case before any change should be
made. inasmuch as there is a ques-
ton of the right of the Legislature to
delegate authority to the commission
equal to the power to repeal a statute,
some members of The legislature favor
drafting a short bill giving power to
the commission to regulate rates.

Bucket shops and grain and stock

A resolution by Mr.. Fries of
Howard county favors a constitutional
amendment charging the field of in
vestment for the permanent school
fund. The resolution provides that
these funds can be invested not only
in United States and state securities,
but in county, municipal and school
district bonds. This is in line with
the recommendation of Treasurer
Mortensen to the last Legislature and
in line with a resolution introduced
at that time, but which failed of pas
sage. The permanent school fund
has now reached the enormous sum
of over $1,000, 900, and it is a ques-
ton where the money can be in
vested to good advantage.

VETOES new TRUCK
ORANGE MAYOR AGAINST
AUTHORIZED PURCHASE.
Shoenthal Considers American-La France
Hook and Ladder, with Chemical
Attachment, Too Expensive.

Mayor Isaac Shoenthal, Of Orange. filed
with City Clerk Willett B. Gano, Of that
city. yesterday his veto of the resolution
passed at the last meeting Of the Orange
Common Council directing the purchase of
an American-La France fire truck with
chemical equipment. This action will stop
for the present the purchase of the truck
which the Council majority favored and
the present old truck must continue in use
for some time longer. The reading of the
veto message on Monday night next Is
expected to provoke some interesting dis
cussion.
The truck, with the chemicals attached,
was opposed by half u dozen members of
the Council, and at the meeting when the
resolution was passed Chief Matthews, Of
the fire department, was sent for, and on
his recommendation in favor of the truck
with chemicals the Council majority, with
Councilman Nissan voting no with the
Democrats, passed the measure. Council
mittee, were opposed to the truck that was
ordered purchased. The Mayors veto of
the resolution will probably not be over
ridden 2
1t is said that one reason urged against
the purchase of the truck at the price
mentioned was the fact that in a nearby
city a truck practically the same as the one
Orange expected to get was bought for less
money than the price of the proposed adj
ditlon to the Orange department. 1t has
been stated. however, that the truck In
question, compared with the apparatus
proposed for Orange, was not 50 large.

OH, DEAR! POOR DEER
County Park Commission Holds Up
Oranges New Water Main for Fear
Animals Spring will Go Dry.

Work on the Orange water main, which
is being placed in position as an auxiliary
to the present system was topped at
Milburn today by the Essex County PARK
police in the South Mountain Reservation.
The park commissioners fear the water
pipe line will interfere In some way with
a spring in the reservation which 1t is
planned will furnish water for the deer
which are to be placed in the park.
The commissioners think the water now
at their spring may be nut off the pipe
line, and this morning in addition to stop
ping temporarily the work of laying the
pipe they sent Engineer Reynolds TO Or
ange, n the official was in conference
with the Orange Common Councils water
committee, Mayor Isaac Shoenthal and
City Engineer Fred It. Crane, and asked
the Orange authorities to guarantee that
In the event of the water supply FOR the
deer failing that the city Of Orange woulo
furnish the supply.
The Orange authorities refused to guar,
antee the water supply for the we'll, bu'
offered to follow any reasonable sugges-
lions as to the laying of the pipe thai
might be offered by Engineer Reynolds
The matter was then left In that shape
and Engineer Reynolds will report the
| circumstance to the commission.

MAY JOIN VILLAGE
PART OF S. O. TOWNSHIP
WANTS TO LEAVE.
Lindsey Avenue Section Residents En-
gage Andrew S. Taylor to Get
Annexation Bill Through.

There is a movement on foot to CONSOLE
date the Lindsey avenue section of South
Orange township with South Orange VII
lage and to bring this about Andrew s.
Taylor, acting as counsel for residents OF
that section. has drawn up a bill which
will be presented to the Legislature in
September.
The section takes in the territory beyond
Lindsey avenue to The Hilton line and
includes about thirty houses.
The reasons for The residents desiring
to again become part OF the village Is be-
cause the township has not provided them
with needed improvements and that two
miles has to be covered to reach the post
office In Baker street. Maplewood, and
beyond voting In the township they have
no other business with that community;
They work In the village and travel
through Il at all times, business never
taking them In the direction of the centre
OF the township. They also attend the
churches and schools In the village.
Until the South Orange township and
village were separated that section en-
joyed the village improvements and was
always regarded as part of the village.
Il Is not likely that the bill will meet
with any opposition from the village peo-
pie, for. according to Mr.. Taylor, every
member OF the Village Board of Trustees
will welcome the new addition to the VII
lage, but Whether or not the township
will object is not known. 1t may be that
the township will fight to keep the sec
ton because of Its taxable value.
The movement was planned by the propS
erty owners several months ago. but no
the property owners did not get together
end decide Just what should be done. Mr..
Taylor says that he Is certain that the
mea sure will be passed by the Legislature.

NEW GARBAGE DEAL
EAST ORANGE WILL HAVE TO
MAKE ONE.
Loprete's Contract for Removing Refuse
out of City Up-Can He Make
New Onef

The contract between East Orange and
Michael Loprete for the remova of gar
page ashes and refuse from homes In
that city, is about to expire, and so Ear,
1t is claimed, nothing has been done toward
making a new contract. Whether this al
legged official negligence or oversight Will
result in a temporary arrangement with
Loprete till a new contract 10 made or
result In garbage and ashes being allowed
TO pile up at the residences is a conjecture
for future events to settle, 1t was sald
at the East Orange City Hail today.
Loprete has two contracts with East Or
ange. One Is for the removal of garbage,
ashes and refuse from In front OF resi-
dences, and the other. of one years dura-
tion, calls for the removal of garbage from
the city limits. The latter expires to-
morrow, and is causing some u~neasiness.
1t is said.
Loprete made a one-year contract with
the Meyer Reduction Company, in this
city. taking the stuff to the firms plant
on the meadows in scows: This ~contract
Is said, would be for Loprete to make an
other contract with the reduction firm
for a long period. The Meyer Company,
however, is not sure 1t In turn can make
another contract with Newark-the present
one will expire next January-ahd will
therefore not make a longer contract with
other municipalities than about six months,
1t Is understood.
The Maloney firm, in Orange, which
cares for the garbage in that city, has
asked for a long-term contract with the
Meyer Company, but was told none, for
the present, could be made longer than for
about six months.
A year ago members of the East Orange
City Council looked on h matter in a
serious vein. and the ordinance committee
made a trip to several cities where
crematory plants are located. Many places
were visited. and recently Mayor Cardwell
accompanied Members of the committee
on another tour, which was apparently I'M
The Council has in It's possession a re-
port on the building of a plant, which met
with praise. and several members of the
Council now believe the time is opportune
for the ordinance committee to come for
ward with a Recommendation That the
plant will nave to be erected in the near
future is considered positive by many of
the officials,
The main block to the scheme concerns
location, and is believed TO be a hard one
to overcome. 1t is known that sites have
been considered, but no particular place
has been settled upon.
The disposal of the garbage. 1t is ad-
mitted, is rapidly approaching a serious
stage, and some decisive move will have to
be made very shortly.

COUNCILMAN JARRED
WILLIAM N. HALSEY, OF
NUTLEY, IN RUNAWAY.
He Was Trying to Capture a Man
Charged with Selling Beer without
License, When His Horse Bolted.

Councilman William N. Halsey, OF Nut

way yesterday, while en%deavoring TO catch
an illegal beer-seller in Avondale road, that
town.
william Heuring, of this city, has been
suspected for some time of selling bottled
beer in Nutley without a license and was
spoken TO some time ago by Councilman
Halsey and is said to have practically ac-
~knowledged that he sold beer. Halsey adj
vised him to take out a license and he is
said to have promised to do so.
Yesterday Halsey detected Heuringa de-
livering five boxes of bottled beer at a
house in Avondale road Halsey asked
Heuring if he had a license.
No, i have not, and don't think l need
a license replied Heuring. driving off.
Halsey, who was in a buggy, went after
him and headed him off near the Avondale
Railroad crossing in Washington avenue
and told him he was under arrest. Heuring
wanted to pay Halsey, but was Informed
he would have to go before Recorder

horse,
Hafsey started after him, but one of the
which was a spirited one, ran away and

Church and upset. Halsey and an Italian
who was in the buggy with him were

pacify the frightened horse. In a few
moments there were about twenty-five
men around the horse, which was trying to

An italian laborer in the employ Of James
Ferrario, of Washington avenue. Nutley,
got a hold of the horse and was Kicked Ia
the breast and shoulder and knocked stag

badly bruised was not seriously hurt.
In h struggle for the mastery Halsey
was successful in quieting the horse, and,

and the harness and buggy broken.
