PATRICK AGAIN.

The latest plea of Albert T. Pat
rick for release from Sing Sing pris-
on in New York on the ground that
he is legally dead has been turned
down. The Patrick case has been a
long weary drag. Some years. ago
Patrick, a lawyer, was convicted of
William Rice. an aged Texas million
aire. The case was never proven
except circumstantially. Patrick was
condemned TO death, and about every
two weeks since he has hobbed up
with n new plea of some kind. The
latest was that the governors com
mutation of his sentence to life inn
prisonment arrived at the prison Il
few minutes after the time he was
supposed to have been executed, and
that he was therefore legally dead
and could not longer be held behind
prison walls. The judge, however,
didn't seem to take much stock in
the plea and sem Patrick back to
prison as a decidedly live one. Pat
rick is nothing if not original, and
it is a safe bet that he will be heard
from again within a short time with
another of his unique reasons why
he should not longer be detained.

Benefits of Drainage System

To Falls City Tribune.-Through
the columns of your paper | desire
to discuss the Drainage question from
the standpoint of n land owner and
taxpayer. in common with many
others having but little or no inter
est in bottom land. 6a4
There are many of us who believe
that the controversy between the
county and the drainage district
should cease. Your correspondent
is the owner of six hundred acres of
upland farms. and only TWEEN
ty acres of bottom land,
but believes in a square deal and a
compliance with the laws of the eoun,
try.
If it is a fact that the county will
not be benefited by the drainage
project, then We should not be re-
CURED to pay for something we do no
receive. The drainage people tell us
that they are not ~impecunions beggars
asking for a hand out" on the con-
trary they are asking only for What
is coming TO them under the law, as
interpreted by the courts of the
country everywhere. They say also,
they are paying more taxes, and will
pay nor of this special drainage
tax, than all the rest of the county;
and besides this they truthfully tell
us that in recent years their troubles
have come from the upland farms
in times of excessive rainfall-bring
ing down water loaded with clay and
other heavy material, which drops to
the bottom and fills up the channel
of the streams. These facts are OBJ
Vious to everyone. In former years,
when the land was new, these con
ditions did not prevail.
Now let us Investigate the reasons
why we should pay any part of the
drainage tax. The first is that the
drainage law, Sec. 10, Chap. 50, Com
piled Statutes of Nebraska, provides
that the county shall be made charge
able for these benefits. Judge Barnes
of the Supreme court, the entire
court eoneurring in the opinion, says
that counties and railroads are chang
able with these benefits.
The c. b. K Q. II. r. Co, and the
Mo. Pacific r. K. Co, the County al
SO. each appealed to the Supreme
court. The Burlington Co, however.
have recently compromised their case
by paying the amount of their claim
in full. The case against the Mo.
Pacific is now in process of settle
ment on the same basis.
Your correspondent is reliably in
formed that Judge Kelligar, who is
the attorney for the Drainage Dist.on
the Little Nemaha, told the drainage
board of Dist. No. l, here, that Ne
maha county had settled with the
drainage board of that district, on
the basis of s2S.0 600. They have fif-
ty-one miles of country roads in the
district, about the same as we have
here. This is $40 600 more money
than is asked from us. Judge Kelli-
gar also told the board here that the
entire county of Nemaha |concurred

To dispute the feasibility and ben-
efits of the drainage project, be-
cause of the fact that we have not
eel it in operation yet, is like say
ing that we do not know that An

ever had an existance, simply be-
cause we never saw them. However,

told, that there is not d case known
where counties, cities. townships. rail
roads and other corporations are eX-
erIpt from paying the drainage bene-
fits. I am also reliably informed that
it is the concurrent testimony of the
engineers who looked over the situa.
ton here that the amount originally
fixed was $4,000 instead of SIS, 600
as now claimed: the zane engineers

| am also told that. under the amend
ed law, this might be true, when a
county is under township organization
but we are under the 1908 law, in
which the county only is made charg-
able with the benefits.
The amount %chargable to the
county is $500 per annum, or about
20 cents per quarter section per an
num-. Your correspondent has to

products, to the station. If the

| hear some farmers saying that
the county board should have accept
ed the proposition of the drainage
board [ o build the bridges even up"
for the benefits. Somebody must pay
for these benefits. This is a settled
proposition, and somebody will have
some costs to pay
For three years in succession, and
for many other years at intercession
periods, owners of bottom lands
have paid taxes to the county and
did not receive the amoun of the
taxes in products, losing their en-
tire labor also.
When these lands are reclaimed it
is estimated by competent engineers
that the benefits will be $4,000 per
acre. This means 81 10000, 900 added
to the taxable wealth of the county,
state and nation. One per cent of
this amount is $13, 000. One-fifth, or
twenty per cent of which, is $1,000,
which is approximately what the
county will receive annually in taxes
for an investment of only $500 per
annum, and then, besides that, the
county will receive taxes ON the prod
ucts annually raised on these lands,
amounting to more than $500 per
annum. The county will also be
benefited, in the near future. in re-
duced expenses for repairs on county
roads and bridges, very greatly in
excess of $500 per annum."
If a taxpayer, because he has no
children to send TO school. should say
that he should be exempt from
school tax, all of us would say that
there are other benefits under the
school system besides the privilege

SCHEDULE COM NITTEE
MAKES AN ]TEER CUT

Youngstown, o., March THE
members Of the special committee of
magnates met at the Todd house here
this afternoon to revise the o. & P.
league schedule. Those present were
Squire Mansfield, of McKeesport;
Maxwell, of East Liverpool; Ormsby,
of Akron; Mike Welch, of Youngs-
town, and Ed. Clepper, of Sharon.
The special committee, which was
appointed to revise the schedule laid
out week ago today by the sched-
ule committee, decided to open the
season on the same date as was pre-
viously chosen May 6. It was prac-
tically decided upon to cut down the
number of games for the season to
less than 126 games when .I
makes the coming season fourteen
days shorter than last year. This
proposition to reduce the number of
games has aroused considerable oppo-
sition among some of the club own
ers.
The committee will report the revis-
ed schedule at meeting to be hold
some day next week.
