sOIicits the Job.

OMAHA, June 25-Gentlemen: On April
g. lS09 the legislature of Nebraska passed
an act, with the emergency clause at
tached, requiring all corporations, both for
eign and domestic, doing business in Ne
braska to pay by July l of each year an
occupation tax based upon the amount of
its capital stock A schedule of said taxes
is hereto attached.
II is proposed to test the validity of this
law in the belief that it is unjust, in
equitable, unconstitutional, and should not
stand In order that the contest may be
conducted at the least possible expense TO
all concerned and that those most vitality
interested may bear only their fair share
OF the costs, It has been suggested that
the necessary funds be raised as follows:
Assess each corporation that will assist
I'm bringing an action to test the validity
OF this law, one-tenth d-1O of the amount
Of it's first annual tax, as fixed by schedule

be used in defraying necessary court ex-
penses. If the law is declared invalid
further sum equivalent to twenty-five t25)
per cent Of one annual tax shall be paid
by each corporation cooperating in this
contest This to be the total expense.
Ine TAX TOT lne year A5uJ becomes uue

advise against paying the tax at this time
Should this suit be successful It will bene-
fit all corporations doing business in Ne
braslxa, and the cost TO each corporation

the amount to be paid in taxes in future
years should the law remain uncontested

A Tale of Two Letters
Shows How Nonpartisan Democratic Candidate for
Supreme Judge Fishing for Corporation Retaner0her
Admits His corporate Affiliations" Are Without PalliaOn
II is without PaIIiation.

OMAHA, Sept. S-Mr Edgar Howard,
Columbus, Neb.-Dear Howard: l am In
receipt of your letter Of yesterday, enclos-
ing clippings from the editorial columns
Of democratic newspapers relating to the
suit recently brought to test the validity
OF the legislation imposing an occupation
tax on corporations. l observe that these
editorials are eaustic, threatening, and In
some instances distinctly hostile. 1 agree
with you that from the standpoint OF po-
litical expedlency the situation is perhaps
unfortunate, but 1 do not concur in your
suggestion that something ought to be said
in justification Of my position.
The thing is impossible There is moth
ing to be said; there is no explanation to
be made; there is no extenuation to be Of
fered.
The facts are thersj they speak for
themselves. Let them stand without
palliationi let them exert their legitimate
influence.
I can afford TO lose but cannot afford
to Win by false pretense. 1 would take the
case, without hesitation. II were not a
candidate, and I could not. without loss
OF self-respect refuse It because / am
candidate. I do not want any misunder-
standing about my attitude toward corpor-
tion by votes given on the assumption that
have any leaning, inclination or predllec-
tion against corporations, or I'm favor Of
them, that might in the slightest degree
be reflected In my decisions as a Judge.
1 find no fault at all with those demo-
cratic editors who critlcise me for acting
as counsel in the tax suit. II indicates that
they no longer regard the party label as
paramount issue, or as conclusive eyi-
dence OF the fitness and worth of the can
didste. This, on our side is a nonpartisan
campaign and II Is not only the privilege
Of democrats. but duty imposed by the
party platform to support the candidates
they conceive TO be the most deserving
! II my corporate affiliations gave ground
for distrust, there is satisfaction in the
thought that no purbIind partiEanship
need now prevent democratic voters from
turning 20 some one OF the candidates on
the republican ticket whose professional
and judicial records are more assuring

CHICAGO. Oct. 2S-John r. Walsh,
whose conviction of misuse OF the funds
Of the Chicago National bank was recently
affirmed by the United States appellate
court, may remain at liberty under bonds
pending an attempt to appeal his case to
the supreme court Of the United States.
The decision making this possible was
rendered in the appellate court day when
Judge Grosscup denied the petition of the
government to have the Walsh bond Of
$4,000 cancelled. Mr. walsh, hitherto al
lowed to travel about tho county must
now, however, remain in Chicago.
The governments petition set forth that
Walsh, with a sentence Of five years i'm
prisonment confronting him, and with
plenty of money at his command, could
well afford to leave the country, repaying
his bondsmen.
Answering counsel for the defendant
among other things pledged Mr.. walsh's
word that he would not attempt to leave
the United States and, that should his
petition for a rehearing by the appellate
court be denied, and the supreme court
go against him, he would at once surrender
himself.
Court Suggests Larger Bond.
Judge Grosscup said:
Nothing is brought to our attention in
the petition that shows any likelihood that
the plaintiff in error will not remain in
the jurisdiction Of the court to answer to
the fiual order of the court, than ordinarily
exists in criminal cases at this stage Of
the proceedings.
ITO sustain, therefore, the prayer Of this
petition would be to say that no convicted
man, whose conviction has been affirmed,
shall be allowed to be out on bail, pending
a petition for rehearing, or an application
to the supreme court for writ of certiorarl,
This act does not, however. preclude
the government from keeping plaintiff in
error under such survelllance as It may
deem proper, nor for asking for increased
bail The matter Of increased bail is not
before us on this petition"
Mr.. Walsh is said to have been placed
under constant scrutiny of five govern
ment agents last night
