The city is empowered to acquire lands
for parks on public grounds and to
improve the same, and to raise money
for that purpose by issuing bonds not
exceeding $4,000 in amount whenever
given the power to do so by a majority
vote Of the electors of the city at a
general or special election called for
that purpose.
Now any of our citizens who would
like to see this done can start it going
by obtaining and presenting to the
city council petition asking for the
election to vote such amount as may
be deemed necessary, not exceeding
$4,000, and | doubt not the council
will readily submit the question when
ever such petition, signed by a re.
spectacle number of the voters is pre-
scented, and the expense of such elec.
ton should not deter as il will be very
small.
After the money is thus raised there
is provision in the law for the appoint.
ment by the judge of the district court
of park commissioners consisting OF
three persons, resident freeholders of
the city, who shall have charge of
purchasing and improving the grounds,
or if thought best park commission
need not be called for, but the matter
left with the city council to manage,
After this is done and grounds appro.
priated for the purpose have been Sc
lected, the same can be purchased, but
IL the owner is not disposed to sell on
reasonable terms, the city may con
denim and appropriate 1t. Lands thus
taken for park purposes shall first be
valued by the appraisement Of three
disinterested freeholders of the city
and the value or amount this fixed by
the board of appraisers if approved
by the city council, shall be deposited
with the city treasurer for the owner
and the city may then take possession
of and improve the same. AS has
been shown it is not difficult matter
nor need it be an expensive one fol-
the city to acquire grounds for park
purposes, for If bonds are voted to the
limit the interest on $4,000 Az per
cent bonds would require levy or an
assessment sufficient to not only pay
the interest but provide sinking fund
for the redemption Of bonds at matur
ity, so that those who want to see
parks provided by the city for the pub
lie have only to get move on them
selves and need not wait for the pub
lie authorities or anybody else to start

Recommends 2Ds.Cent Fare.

Sioux Falls, July THAT South Da.
kotans are entitled to 212.cent pas.
senger rate law, though a straight 2.
cent law at this time would work a
hardship on the railroad companies,
is the finding of John H. Gates, spe-
cial master in the case Of the Chicago
and Northwestern railway against the
state.
The special master takes direct is
sue with Judge Sanborn in his decision
on the Minnesota rate cases.
The report Of Mr.. Gates will be Civ.
en- to Judge Elliott of the South Da-
kota federal court, who will render a
decision in accordance.
An appeal by the railroads is ex-
pected.
In taking exception to the methods
used by Judge Sanborn in reaching
his verdict in the Minnesota cases,
Mr.. Gates holds that the expense basis
and not the gross earnings method is
the practical way of determining how
low a rate railroads can work under
and still make reasonable profit on
their investment. Under the gross
earnings method railroads are now
earning 612 percent profit.
Roads of the state are now operat-
ing under Scent fare. The decision
involves the 21a.cent rate laws passed
by the legislature in 1909.

Gold Attacks Anti.eift Law.

Lincoln, July Applying for an In
junction against the enforcement OF
the Housch anti-free gift enterprise
measure passed at the last session Of
the legislature, William Gold OF this
city made the first attack on an enact
ment of the 1911 session in the federal
court here. The assault on the meas
ure comes from Gold because OF its
inclusion OF trading stamps in the list
of enterprises prohibited for the gain
of trade.
The provision Of the new law states
that ANY gift promise, stated or i'm
piled to give or bestow or in any man
ner to hold out the promise Of gift
or bestowal of any article or thing, for
or in consideration of the purchase by
any persons of any article or thing"
Gold recites in his petition that he
entered a contract with Sperry d
Hutchinson OF New Jersey for the in
stallation of their advertising system
in his store and that he paid them for
the use of their scheme so much per
thousand stamps. The complainant
charges that the bill was enacted be-
cause OF the support of other mer-
chants who did not favor the use Of
the trade attraction scheme by their
rivals. Further he says that it is class
legislation and that many people
through the fear Of accepting the
stamps sin ZEE the passage of the
Housch bill have ceased to take them
and that thereby he has lost trade, all
of which he contends is in violation Of
the Fourteenth amendment to the fed.
eral constitution.
A temporary restraining order
against Attorney General Martin has
been issued by Judge Munger OF the
federal court, but it cannot be served
until Mr.. Martin returns to Lincoln.

Columbus Child Burns to Death.

Columbus, Neb., July 1.-Frankie,
the 3R-year.old son of Edward Glenn,
was burned to death in fire that de-
stroyed his fathers barn yesterday
afternoon. For some time the boys
had been using the barn in which to
play show and it is probable that the
careless handling of matches was re-
sponsible for the blaze. The barn was
burned to the ground before the fate
of the boy was known, he being dis.
covered by the firemen, his parents
not being aware Of the fact that he
was in the building. He was lying on
a pile of coal and indications are that

Fish Are Stranded in This Vicinity

Fremont Tribune: j. l.. O'Brien, SUI
perintendent of the state fish hatcher
les, passed through Fremont in the
fish car enroute to Norfolk where he
expects to save severai hundred pick
erel and other fish from an untimely
death. When the Elkhorn went down
after high wafer it left many fish
stranded in pools on the sandbars and
in shallow water. The pools are
rapidly drying up. Mr.. O'Brien will
gather up the pickerel and take them
to Wood Lake.
Mr.. O'Brien says many violations
of the fish laws are being committed
daily in eastern Nebraska. In the
western part of the state the lakes
are so full of moss and aquatic plants
that drag-nets cannot be used. In
the eastern part of the state, how
ever, the carp keep the lakes practi-
cally free from plant growth and men
who desire to use seines in violation
of the law have An easy time of it.

Sioux City, Ia, June 30.-The an

south out of Yankton has received it's
impetus by the arrival of c. S. Cleaver
of Chicago, in Yankton, where he has

Sees Need OF a Park,

Norfolk, July l. Editor News:
Much has been said recently of the
necessity of the city's acquiring

very difficult nor expensive undertake
ing, as ample authority is conferred
by law upon the city TO acquire by pur.
chase or condemnation lands for this
purpose. II our people are anxious for
a public park they can easily get one.
