wants suEEestioDa on reform.

Secretary of State Junhin has received a
letter from Texas real estate dealer say
ing that we are advocating reforms which
we hope will result in laws framed and
perfected by statesmen instead of politi-
clans in the various states. He wants sug-
sestions.
The writer advocates that the number OF
legislators be reduced and compensation In
creased. II the number Of legislators can
not be reduced the writer advocates the Sc
lection OF joint committee from the house
and senate composed of the "wisest' mem
bers, which shall remain at the state cap
itol permanently and study legislative ques-
tionB and act as an advisory board to the
other members OF the legislature. The
bers can be determined.

Reasons for Reductions.

After Hearing from Bankers ana

Final Decision.

rINroIN Aug. s--(special) - Omaha
bankers and several county assessors APP
reared before the state Board Of Bqualiza-
tion this after noon to discuss the assess
neut OF bank stock Several counties per-
nitted A reduction from the undivided
profits ana surplus OF banks Of certain
Der cent for bad paper. The deductions
made By the omaha banks amounted to
Il .eOaOO6. and the attention OF the board
was called to this by the assessor OF Wash
inRton county. The question was referred
TO the attorney general
The Omaha bankers appearing before the
board insisted that the reduction was le-
gal for the reason that they had acted
within the law In reporting their net un-
divided profits. 1t had been their expert
enoe, they insisted. that the loss on loans
amounted to about per cent from bad
paper SO when returns were made to the
assessor this was taken into account The
paper had been listed as good, but as
matter OF fact every banker knew that
some OF It was not good though the par
tlcular bad paper could not be picked out
They called attention to several firms
which had failed when the day before
their paper had been considered good. SO
q loss OF per cent on loans was about
the average, as their records showed for a
number Of years. The Omaha banks had
loaned s40,000O0O April /, II was said, and
the bankers, without knowing exactly
what particular security was bad, deducted
per cent as the amount that would be
actually lost.
JunIin Instances Cattle.
Mr.. Junkin answered this by asking II 1t
would be fair and legal should he have
1000 head of cattle April to deduct GER
tain number because some were sure to
die during the year. Assessor Downing said
a reduction Of per cent was made from
the loans. This equaled in some cases 80
per cent Of the capital stock.
RSe assessor from Hamilton county, Mr..
M Genorveys, said he had made az per
cent reduction on the paper Of two banks
only and that this was DONE he said be-
cause the banks said at least that percent
age Of their paper was bad. And further
he said he had an opinion Of the attorney
general to the effect that the bad paper
should be considered in arriving at the
value o fthe bank stock
Another opinion from the attorney general
held that no arbitrary reduction should be
made unless where specifically shown that
reductions should BIT made Some members
fthe board took this to mean only tangi-
bic property otherwise assessed, while
others thought II meant where it was
shown that the paper was bad, then re-
auctions SHOULD be made Because of this
difference 81 opinion the matter will be
passed up to the legal department for a
definite decision.

A sorrel colt, one pleasant day
Ran round and round alstack of hay
And kicked it's heels and paved the
land, 4s
And reared and jumpedto beat the
& band.
The older horses stood areaad =
And swallowed fodder by the pound,
And gave no notice to the kid
That gaily round the hay stack slid.
I loafed along and murmured, then:
If horses were as mean as men,
Some old, gray work horse, stiff and
sour,
Would jaw that colt for half an hour
But horses have no croaking voice,
To chill the colt that would rejoice.
They simply stand and eat their hay,
Ard 80 the colt can run and play.

To do just as they told him;
He never made his parents sad,
They never had to scold him.
He never, never disobeyed,
Nor punched his little brother,
And day and nightrhe always made
Things pleasant for his mother.
When pa was my age he would clean
His shoes whom they were muddy

Because they made him study;

And he was praised by sll--but gee!
