Shallenberger'
Idea for Roads
Executive Outlines His Beliefs to
Members of State Hardware
Mems Association.
From q Staff Correspondents

LINCOLN, Feb. 10.@special.)-To the
delegates attending the State Hardware
Dealers association yesterday Gov
ernor Shallenberger in an address outlined
his idea OF the wa to secure good roads
and said he would embody the same in
a recommendation to the next legislature.
The governor said he proposed to recon-
mend that the tax on automobiles should
be graded by the horse power of the
machines in lieu Of all other taxes on this
class of property and that the money go
into a roads fund. He would fix the tax
80 that for the first year 81 for each
horse power should be collected to be
reduced to Is cents the second year and 50
cents for every year thereafter. The
average horse power of the machine
registered is about twenty-five.
The governor then said this honey
should be held as a bonus by the state
and when o county voted MONEY for good
roads a certain per cent should be given
the county as a bonus, based On the
amount the county voted.
Under the law the governor aid cities
had q right to vote a tax to improve roads
for a certain distance into the country and
| many towns would be induced to vote to
add to the state and county funds. In this
way the governor said 1t would be a very
short time before an amount OF
money could be raised to start the good
roads building.
The governor received his ideas he said
from the Vermont law, which provides
such q tax and which was endorsed gen.
orally by the governors at their recent
meeting in Washington. The state of New
Jersey, he said, collected some $1.2OO,OOO las
year from such q tax.

Electric Plant for Broken Bow.

BROKEN BOW. Neb., Feb. ~1N-(Special)
The electric light proposition has at last
been solved and It is believed thai in a
few months Broken Bow will have a thor
oughly up-to-date plant in good working
order, a franchise having been granted to
Edgar p. Steen and Charles C. Gibson. both
of Cripple Greek, Colo. The franchise stip-
ulates that they commence construction
under ninety days and the plant be ready
to furnish current on September l next.
A certified check for $500 was given to the
city to insure work within the ninety days
and a bond of SIS, 900 was filed to indemnify
against damage during construction. The
rate schedule is declared reasonable and
seems to meet with general appreciation.
The consumer pays per kilowatt hour for
his total consumption. but one rate shown
opposite the limits between which his total
consumption occurs.
Messrs. Steen and Gibson. who are well
known in the western electrical world. will
move their families here and make Broken
Bow their future home.

TALK OF CONSTITUTIONAL
CONVENTION IS REVIVED
CFrom a Staff Correspondent

LINCOLN, Feb. 10-(Special. jim addition
to the usual political discussion incidental
to a campaign there is going to be this
summer some agitation for a constitutional
convention to propose a new state consti-
tuition.
Several of the state officers have ex-
pressed themselves in favor Of a new con-
stitution, especially those officers whose
time is taken UP with board duties rather
than the duties of their own offices. They
are anxious for a constitution which pro-
vides for a State Board of Control, which
will relieve them of the necessity of look
ing after the state institutions. Under the
present law a major portion of the time
of the governor, attorney general, secretary
of state and land commissions is devoted
to board meetings and matters pertaining
to the management of the state institutions.
Another reason for changes in the con-
s~titution is to equaIIze the salaries which
are paid to the state officers and assis-
tants. The attorney general of the state
is paid 1900 a year while the engineer who
has charge Of the work of experimenting
the compilation of railroad statistics show
ing the valuation of railroad property, re-
ceives $4,S0o a year and scarcely any of
his assistants draw less than the attorney
general. ~ a'EH 2V
In many of his Important cases the at
torney general is compelled to fight at
torneys whose combined salaries reach
more than 100000 a year, while the money
these attorneys have at their command for
preparing their cases and hunting evidence
and employing experts is practically I'M
limited. The legal department of the state
has only a limited sum upon which to
draw.
Employees of the railway commission In
many instances are paid more than the at
torney general and yet he does practically
all OF the legal work Of this commission.
Senator King of Polk county is an advo-
cate of the constitutional convention and
believes the time is ripe for the matter
to be discussed as a live subject for the
next legislature.

nv SBAEhuhH
Our esteemed contemporary. the Erie
Railroad, now submits it's record for safety
in the transportation of passengers and
invites a comparison of the figures with
those of the L~ackawanna and Pennsyl-
vania systems.
The new exhibit. as it comes to us from
an authoritative and serious quarter. is
contained in the announcement that "the
Erie transported 125, 100000 pa~ssengers-in
doing which 1t ran S,75O.OOO.0OO passenger
~miIes-without a fatality; not in one year,
or in two years. but five years, on a rail-
road with a large amount Of single track
and a main line 1000 miles in length"
When we consider that the Fries white
total of distance achieved, reduced for sta
t~istical purposes to passenger miles" is
equivalent to the transportation of a single
through passenger for a non-fatal ride to
the mean of the planet of Vents and back
almost seventy-three times; and when we
consider. further, that II represents the
safe short hauling of a mere oommuter to
the moon and home again every business
day for twenty-six years and two months,
not only is the imagination staggered, but
also the imperative need of a common de-
nominator becomes apparent.
We shal welcome other statements of a
character so reassuring to the travelling
public and so gratifying 10 the patriots
pride I'm the triumph of American railroad
ing. However, II the noble competition is
to end In a definite award II may become
necessary to Insist that all returns shall

C~LEAR-HEADED
Head BoOkkeeper Must be RaliabIa

The chief ~bookkeeper in a largo b,st-
ness house ia one of our great western
cities speaks of the harm coffee did FOR
him: f
MY wife and I drank our first Gun Of
Postum a little over two years aRo ana
we have used 1t ever since, to the entire
exclusion of tea and coffee. II happened
in this way:
About three and a half years ago I had
an attack of pneumonia. which left a
memento in the shape of dyspepsia, or
rather, to speak more correctly, neuralgia
OF the stomach. My cup OF cheer had
always been coffee or tea. but became
convinced. after a time, that they agRra-
waited my stomach trouble. 1 happened
to mention the matter to my grocer one
day and he suggested that 1 give Postum
a trial.
Next day II came, but the cook made
the mistake of not boiling IL sufficiently.
and we did not like It much. This was.
however, soon remedied. and now we
like II so much that we will never change
back. Postum, being a food beverage in
stead of a drug, has been the means of
curing my stomach. I verify believe, for
/ I'm a well man today and have used no
other remedy.
my work as chief bookkeeper in our
Co.'S. branch house here is OF a very con-
filming nature. During my coffee-drinking
days l was subject to nervousness and
the blues in addition TO my sick spells.
These have left me since l began using

mend Il 10 those whose work confines
