Tramps Eat Out

Send Out Runners, Who Bring In
an Army to Storm the
Citadel.

An army OF tramps hit Omaha Wednes-
day afternoon and no sooner had they es-
tublished hunks than they landed in the
office of the Associated Charities. They
wanted help and they wanted 1t quick.
Miss Ida V. Jontz, secretary Of the Omaha
office, heard all sorts OF hard luck stories,
which were as varied as they we're nu-
merous.
But she was equal 20 the occasion. She
offered them Jobs ana that served the pur-
pose. They didn't wont jobs. They wanted
something to eat and they wanted to get
It as easily as possible. After about
twenty had tackled the Associated Chart

The tramps swoOped down on said board

next to the system, about every available
thing in the house had been slowed away

CITY HALL IS STIRRED UP
Employees Take Exception to Remarks
of Governor Aldrich.
DAHLMAN POINTS TO LINCOLN
says that students Are Voted There
and that II Would he Well for
the Governor to Look
Into IL.

"If Governor Aldrich wants to start
campaign against election frauds, which he
charges existed in Omaha at the last cleo
ton, let him begin by beginning at home
said Mayor Dahlman Thursday morning.
In his special message to the legisla-
ture the governor takes occasion to make
charges here which he cannot substantiate
in any manner. He charges all sorts Of
Irregularities, none OF which can be proven.
But II conditions are as / have heard in
Lincoln, he can find ample opportunity for
an investigation Of the most exhaustive
kind.
II am told that at the primary and cleo
ton held in Lincoln that students Of the
State university voted and that a professor
OF the university stood at the polls and
advised the students 20 cast their votes,
and that they would be protected IL charges
were ever filed against them.
Governor Aldrich might investigate this
II he wants to start something. There is
nothing like beginning at home in matters
Of this kind"
Conferences Held.
After reading the governors message
many city hall officials threw all kinds of
fits and held all sorts OF conferences
Thursday morning. For time business
was forgotten in many of the offices.
Conferences were held on different floors
and the opinion was that the governor did
not know what he was talking about
Some intimated that he didn't care.
A vote was finally taken on the issue OF
whether Governor Aldrich knew what he
was talking about and almost without eX-
ceptlon votes were cast feminist"
In the office OF the city clerk the janitor
was voted. OF course he was "agin" along
with the other employees. city Clerk But
Ter was absent from the office, but he

houses, wholesale houses and other cor
porations who would not be able to get a
chance 20 vote II the hours were not
changed. That, It was commended. is all
right as far as II goes. But the COM
mittee should have gone a step further
and made It imperative that the polls
should be opened the extra hours in case
OF a special election. The laboring man
is as much interested and concerned in
the matter of issuing bonds for public Inn
provements as ne is in the general cleo
lions. and for this reason he should have
the same privilege that he will enjoy in
general elections.
Opponents TO the proposed charter re-
vision suggest that the hours shall be
made uniform and that the city council
shall have no say in the matter Of the
time Of opening and closing the polls.
Increase Lighting Fund.
Another clause which has excited much
curiosity Is that referring to the lighting
fund. The present charter empowers the
council to appropriate the sum of $4,000 a
year for lighting purposes. The revised
charter stlpulates that the amount be in
creased to 100000 But further along in
the section there is provlso that all
moneys received as royalties and occupa-
ton taxes from lighting companies in the
city shall be turned into the general light
ing fund
Under the present charter moneys ac-
cruing from royalties go into the lighting
fund. but those paid in under the occupa-
ton tax act go into the sinking fund. So
the new revision practically asks for $50 900
more for the general fund and the switch
ing OF the occupation tax from the sinking
TO the lighting fund
This latter will amount TO about $50 900 a
year. 1t is based on per cent OF the gross
receipts of the company as is the royalties
Of the companies. The royalties will amount
TO as much as the occupation tax, so the
new bill practically provides for an amount
which win range from $4,000 TO $4,000 for
lighting purposes alone.
Another Source of ReVenHe.
When special lighting districts are
created, the property owners pay one-hali
the cost This means another source OF
revenue for lighting. Now what Is upper
most IN the minds OF some is In case the
| b''l passes what improvements in the light
| ing situation sre going to be made and who
is going 20 set this money?
Under the revision bill the city council
and mayor are empowered to appropriate
money for the construction and main.
tenancs OF a garbage reduction plant. The
appropriation for the maintenance Is all
/ right. but the issuing OF the bonds for the
construction OF the plant should be de-
clded at a special election. An amendment
TO this mas been sent 10 Lincoln and Will
/ be tackled on.
/ Another item that has caused comment
is that which gives the council power I,
appropriate $4,000 for the erection OF an as
! phalt plant but which has the provision
that no street shall be repaired by tha cit,
plant until ordered by resolution by IN,
city council. which makes special ap
preparation for the work.

CHARTER BILL TOO BROAD
Some Find Fault with the Power 1t
Gives Council and Mayor.
PECULIAR voTno SITUATION
different Time Is stated for Polls TO
Open for Special ana for the
General Elections In city
of Omaha.

That the bill for the revision for-the city
charter as presented to the legislature Is
too broad In its scope aud gives the mayor
and city council too much power Is the
opinion OF many in Omaha. VINO nave
made an exhaustive study OF the provis-
ions of the proposed revision Ihoubh
the criticism In the main IL made along
general tines these specific provisions are
pointed to as investing the council and
mayor with too much power
That clause which revtses section zoos OF
Cobbey's annotated statutes OF 1909 relative
to the Improvement of streets. alleys OF
other public grounds by paving repavlng
macadamizing and guttering and curoing
gives the mayor and city council by con-
current resolution the power TO order any
improvements In the city within radius
OF 1000 feet OF the city hall without petit
lion from the property owners.
Under the present charter the limit is
4. 500 feet The argument is advanced that
there is no reason for extending these
limits -Four thousand five hundred feet
radius is sufficient In that II embraces all
the downtown district and a goodly portion
OF the residence districts.
should the bill pass IS it stands at pres
ent the radius would be extended so that
IL would take In all territory east as rar as
the river, west as far a. Thirty-third street,
south 20 Center and DOrcas streets ana
north to Burdette street.
This limit is far too wide, according TO
the views OF many interested and should
be amended 80 that It will call for the
present limit OF $500.
DahIman Fathers Clause.
Mayor Dahlman. who was a member of
the committee which drafted the original
bin was the father OF this clause. He
stated Thursday morning that he had in
mind the paving OF Park avenue and Geor-
gia avenue when he suggested the extend
ing OF the limits. Many property owners
along these streets are uonresldents and
do not favor paying. and Il vas to sur
mount these obstacles that the limit was
extended TO take In these streets Mayor
Dahlman says he will not fight an amend
ment to cut the limit to 45oO feet
Just why the committee makes differ
ence OF three hours in the opening and
closing OF polls for general and special
elections is another thing that many would
like 10 have explained. The proposed
charter provides that az all general cleo
tions the polls must be opened from a
M to .. m. but for special elections the
.,riiy council and mayor may make the
