Hurts Douglas County.
County Assessor Shriver and County
Commissioner Bruning of Douglas county.
who were here this morning, expressed
themselves as being much put out at the
action of the State Board Of Equalization
in delaying the final valuation of Douglas
county. In the midst of the work Gov
ernor Shallenberger went to Seattle, State
Treasurer Brian was sojourning in Col
orado and Auditor Barton was checking up
surety companies in the east. The result
was, no agreement could be reached in the
matter of Douglas county merchandise.
w are unable to make our levy said
Mr.. Shriver, until we get the returns from
the state board. We cannot pay out any
1 49, 49, ,.-NNN
are simply at a standstill. 1 am In favor
of the enactment of a law which will com
pei the members of the State Board of
Equalization to remain at Lincoln until
they finish their work. This is the most
important work Of the officers, in my opin-
ion, and the members nave no right to go
away on vacations until the work is done
1t would not take two weeks II the board
would settle down and get busy. Our
D board sent to Texas and had a member
n come home in order to be on nand for our
meeting.
D With the governor in Seattle and the
treasurer in Colorado we have no idea when
the Douglas county valuation will be set
tied"
y Plan to Forward Printing.
Secretary of State Junkin has a scheme
0 which he believes will enable the delivery
n of the session laws within sixty days after
0 the adjournment Of the legislature, as The
constitution provides. Mr.. Junkin will, II
0 he can do so legally, and he believes it can
be done, suggest tho letting OF the contract
for the printing of the session laws at
0 the annual letting next summer This will
U save the twenty days necessary advertising
0 at the close OF the legislature. Copy can
be sent to the printers as the laws are
= enacted and within two weeks after ad-
%journment he believes all the copy can be
: in the hands of the printer, while con-
siderable of the printing can be done even
before adjournment Another batch Of the
laws was received today.
Mixup over Primary.
It is evident that in some counties demo
Gratis will be on both the republican and
democratic ticket next fall and republican
candidates will be on both tickets. This
deduction is from an inquiry made to the
secretary OF state today. A party callins
up said he democrats in his county had
no candidate at the primary for county
treasurer. He desired to write in the name
Of the republican candidate and wanted tc
! know II the vote would count. Unofficially
I he was told that he had a legal right tc
write in the name OF any party, and II
the name was written on the democratic
5 ballot 1t would count as a democratic vote
: So IL no one gets more than this one vot,
i'm that county the republican will hav,
I his name on the democratic ballot at tn,
! general election for treasurer, whether h,
Q is successful in his own party or not.
s Early Mail at Capitol.
: Hereafter the state officers are going t,
get their mail by S o'clock in the morninl
= and get their correspondence out befor,
. the heat Of the day and the big rush o
q callers. Postmaster Slzer agreed to &c
) the mail delivered by that hour providing
= someone would be in the offices to re
s ceive It or that some arrangement woui,
be made whereby the mail could be left
; SO today the state house carpenter cut
b hole in a door to each office and the mai
= will be pushed through these holes. A
b the present time the attorney general get
s his mail between . and 10 o'clock In tn
morning, and that is too late for a bus,
