81 CENTS IN GENERAL FUND.

A Peculiar Phase Of the System Of
Taxation.
City Treasurer Haase is guardian
of thirty-four cents. For these thirty
four coppers represent Norfolk's gen.
eral fund.
What can Norfolk do with her gen.
eral fund? She can go to the football
game, see the moving picture show
and give pennys worth of candy to
every member of the police force.
Really, though, Norfolk is not SO
bad after all, though the trusty sink
ing fund has more than "skiddoed'
on account of many friendly touch
from that chronic borrower, the "gen.
eral fund"
Those thirty-four coppers, however
don't represent Norfolk's financial con
dition, they are simply phase Of our
taxation system The 1907 levy is
available, but the taxpayers are just
beginning to dig up" theoretically
last summers levy Is available to
draw on but practically it is still in
the taxpayers pockets. Moreover, the
1906 levy hasn't all been paid in but
is still coming into the county treas
ury. Norfolk has some money dowr
at Madison and Treasurer Haase has
written for it.
While the thirty-four cents only rep
resents what always happens in city
affairs about this time of year, they
explain why Treasurer Haase is goinl
to register warrants. City warrants
instead of being paid will be regis
tered and draw interest.
Registered warrants are said to rep
resent a higher grade of finance, from
the standpoint of the city creditors
than the Certificates of Indebtedness
issued in the last few years under sim
liar circumstances. The certificate
of Indebtedness" have all been paid OF
although a big accumulation of then
recently existed.

financial unrest did not stop the
threshing machines and the grain
piled up on the farms.
To add to this condition, the corn
has ripened and It's harvest begun.
Old corn must be moved out OF the
cribs to make room for the new. The
winter does not wait because OF bust.
ness conditions and there is danger
OF snow In delay.
Another result of the prevailing
business condition has been a hesita-
ton on the part OF coal dealers to or.
der coal, and while there has been no
movement OF grain from the north
west, there has been no movement of
coal into that territory and the coal
famine is apt to be another result of
the car shortage that seems imminent.
There will be some relief In the
fact that farmers will hold their grain
for higher prices and will feed much
more than usual" said b. f. Nichols,
commercial agent for the Illinois Cen
trail railway, In discussing the situa-
ton. THE feeders have not been
shipping live stock and have fed more
grain than they would otherwise have
done. Though cattle or hogs were
ready for shipment two weeks ago
they were held back because Of the
decline in prices. Feeders will use
much OF the grain and there will be
less to ship"

CAR SHORTAGE THING OF PAST
Regular Winter Adjustment For North
western is Made.


The annual fall meeting of the heads
of departments of the Nebraska-Wy-
oming divisions of the Northwestern
was held in Norfolk Wednesday after
noon with General Superintendent S.
M. Braden. General Manager F. Wal
tiers was up from Omaha for the meet
ing, which was also attended by a
number of Northwestern men from
over the state.
The purpose Of the meeting Of the
officials was to put the road on its
regular winter basis, following the
usual decline of the fall rush. Dur
Ing the late summer and fall months
when the years business is always at
its height and the range stock move
ment is on in addition the Northwest
ern is forced to bring every bit of its
equipment into service and augment
its train forces all along the line.
The adjustments worked out Wednes-
day were the usual adjustments that
the change from the fall to the winter
season demands.
Incidentally with the advancement
of November the car Shortage" is a
thing of the past. The Northwestern
has plenty cars now that the topheavy
summer and fall movement of freight
is over.

MAY ASK FOR ANNEXATION
VOLUNTARY ANNEXATION WOULD
BENEFIT OUTSIDERS.
WOULD FREE THEM FROM TAXES

" People Living In Outlying Additions
viii Come Into the City Limits Of
Their Own volition, They VIII Es.
cape Many Taxes.
The annexation project in It's latest
phases may be said to be fairly up to
the residents in the outlying sections
of the town which 1t Is proposed to
bring within the legal limits of the
city. Annexation action by the city
council went over two weeks Thurs
day evening, pressure OF other bust
ness giving the councilmen the oppor-
tunity to put the new annexation res
olution off for two weeks during which
time the situation Is expected to clar-
ify itself.
City Attorney Hazen explained to
the council Thursday evening that the
original annexation action taken by
the council was along lines that would
not accomplish anything because the
action could be rendered void by the
demonstrators. The proper legal &C
ton was for the council to pass a res
olution indicating the territory to be
taken in and instructing the city attor'
ney to bring action In the district
court to secure an annexation decree
after the usual process.
Such resolution had been placed
in the hands of the city clerk but II
was left to be brought up at the next
meeting.
The interval, 1t is pointed out, af
fords the residents of the outlying dis
tricts an opportunity to cooperate
cradle advantage. 1t Is suggested that
the advantages of circulating annexa
ton petitions and coming into the
city voluntarily are such as to appea
to the people affected.
If any outlying sections chose t
come in voluntarily they cannot bt
forced to pay either sinking fund Of
interest taxes on bonds already voted
and old debts of the city. If they are
brought in by court action they escap,
none Of these taxes. If they resis
court action, they will have cour
costs to pay in addition.
There has been considerable evi
dence that many who first classet
themselves as demonstrators to thu
annexation move have since seen ad
vantages for them in being joined t,
Norfolk. 1t is expected that promis
of square deal" may find many will
ing to Join with the city in keeping
their part of the annexation out of tn
district court and reaping the advant
ages of voluntary action.

corded at the driving park field Satur-
day afternoon but the Norfolk high
school held the victors down to a sin
gle touchdown in each half. The
score in favor of the Madison high
school was 10 to 0.
Norfolk showed great improvement
over her play in Madison two weeks
ago when the south county boys ran
up five touchdowns In the first half.
In their second game of the season
Norfolk was able to show a stiff line
while the backs and ends improving
on their work of two weeks ago were
able to solve the Madison interference.
| A hundred or so spectators were
out for the Saturday game, the cold
northwest wind keeping the attend
ance down. On account of train con-
nections the Madison team drove to
Norfolk and as a result were accom-
panied by only a few rooters. The
Madison team this year has played tie
games with the Gates academy at
Neigh and with the Columbus high
school.
Madison scored one touchdown In
the first half and pushed the ball over
for another in the second. The last
few minutes of the game was played
close to the Norfolk goal. Within 9
few feet of their goal line Norfolk
held and Luikart punted out of dan
ger.
Harold Morrison was in the line fol
Charles Durland who was kept out OF
the game on account of a recent i'll

Car Famine May Return.

Sioux City Tribune: The car fam
Inc which has been enjoying the rest
cure for the past two weeks is more
threatening than ever in the northwest
since eastern cities and the United
States treasury have offered funds to
the west to move the crops, following
the financial unrest spread in a wave
over the country.
In two weeks scarcely a load of
the grain territory. The elevators
have been storing grain for farmers
who received merely receipts on white
paper indicating the number of BUSH
els they have deposited. AS soon as
the receipt of cash permits the pur-
chase of the grain it will be paid for
at the current market price.
Although some confusion may result
because of the willingness or unwill-
ingness of the farmers to sell at the
current price, it is probable that the
bulk of this stored grain will begin
to move early next week. Some farm
ers who have stored the grain may re-
fuse to sell and it is possible they will
yet haul the grain back to their farms
If they cannot get the prices they de-
mand. Many of them refused to store
the grain in this manner and even
after they had hauled loads to the
markets in the towns turned their
horses back with the loads and stored
it at the farms.
The railroads will try to get cars
enough into the grain territory to
move this accumulation of the crop,
but the danger of a car famine is ad-
mitted to be greater than ever. Be
fore the furry in banking circles the
roads were taxed to their utmost to
move the crop and reports OF car short
..age came from many quarters. The

NEBRASKA DEFEATS KANSAS.
OutcIassed Their Old Rivals and Vic
tory Was Emphatic.

Victory over Kansas by the score of
16 to 6 came easy to the Nebraska
football team at Lawrence Saturday.
The cornhuskers outclassed their old
rivals and their victory was more en-
phatic than the score would indicate.
Nebraska played rings around Kansas
in all departments of the game, Sc
curing sweet revenge for the defeat at
the hands of Kansas on Nebraska field
last fall.
Kansas could not put up the game
that either Colorado or Ames played
against Nebraska and the cornhusk-
ers despite the hard schedule they had
been playing were in shape for de-
cisive victory.
All Nebraska eyes are now on the
Thanksgiving game with St. Louis at
st. Louis. The game Saturday with
Denver university and the week fol-
lowing with Doane are little more than
practice contests for the big battle at
st. Louis. The Denver game, how
ever, will not be without interest.
