James Smith, W. H. Elliott, A. c.
Meyer and Vim. Hamilton attended
a meeting of the Independent Tele-
phone Companies of Adams Co., ILL.,,
Marion, Monroe and Rails counties.
The Independent people have done
much for the large number of tele-
phones in use and for the cheapness
of the cost of the service altho the
service given by the Independents
is the best.

Another Object Lesson.

The latest lawsuit acquired for us
by our Water board is a proceeding
instituted to prevent the stock yards
and packing houses at South Omaha
from securing water from an indie
pendent supply of their own. The
Water board sets up that the fran
chise lately granted by the city Of
South Omaha for that purpose is void
for various reasons, among others as
an invasion of the exclusive right of
the Omaha Water board to furnish
water in all the territory now sup
piled.
We hold no brief for the stock
yards people nor do we care to dis
cuss at present the, legal phases or
merits Of the controversy, but we
cannot help pointing out this new OBJ
iect lesson OF business sagacity on
the part OF distinguished Water
board.
When the appraisers insisted on
including under the purchase clause
that part of the water plant within
the city of South Omaha, the Water
board and its high-priced attorneys
strenuously objected, and endeavored
to cut off, not only the stock yards
and packing houses, but the whole of
South Omaha as we'll. Now we see
them going into court to prevent the
segregation, which they themselves
tried to accomplish. They see at last
that cutting South Omaha off, as
they had originally desired, to that
extent impairs the revenues of the
water plant without proportionately
reducing the investment or cost of
operation.
Again when permission was sought
from the South Omaha mayor and
council to construct an Independent
water plant, the Water board through
its main spokesman appeared on the
scene and gave assurance that II
would have no objection, provided
lhS Whh W BUM
yards and packing houses. The or
dinance was so amended, and the
stock yards people proceeded TO act
upon its supposed authority, while
our Water board stood by in apparent
acquiescence. After idly waiting foI
months until the stock yards com
pany had actually begun construc
ton, and had gone to no little ex'
pense, our wise Water board sud
denly wakes up to the necessity OF
protecting it's rights even though II
renders valueless everything already
done toward the construction OF the
new supply plant.
We take 1t the courts will adjudl-
cate the rights of all concerned, but
no matter what the outcome, the emf
nent business men, financiers and
legal luminaries who constitute our
Water board appear in a peculiar

will be made of the actual use OF
public highways. This part Of the
program will be under the direction
Of the Touring Club of America.
The fashion which has sprung up
so much OF late OF touring the con-
tinent or states in autos is far more
than a fad, as will be shown at this
convention. These men are doing
things to promote the gospel of good
roads. Indeed, the auto is an insist
ent factor in that movement. Men
who have devoted much time and
thought to touring will give the con-
vention and the country through it
the benefit Of their experience and

The Treasurer,s Office

Few people realize the importance
OF the office OF treasurer to be filled
at our coming election. The county
treasurer not only handles all the
county and state funds, but is also
ex-offlcio city treasurer, and treas
urer of the school district. II South
Omaha should vote for annexation,
he would would have added to his
charge all the money. now collected
and disbursed by the city treasurer
OF South Omaha, and when Omaha
takes possession of its water plant he
will presumably be custodian of its
revenues. Upon the county treas
urer will devolve the negotiations
and sale of all the bonds already, and
to be. voted and disposed of for the
next two years, The best estimate
that can be made figures a total Of
not less than $22,OOO,OO of public
money to pass through the hands of
the treasurer to be chosen next
month.
Most people will have to pinch
themselves to grasp the size of
s22, 100000, and then see It family.
But no one who fully understands
what Is involved will hesitate to vote
for w. G.. IRE, the republican nom
inee for county treasurer. Mr.. Ures
honesty is unquestioned, and his
ability demonstrated. He can, and
will, make good in the office, and in
respect TO qualifications for dis
charging the duties and meeting the
responsibilities, he is so far ahead of

parison would be odious. He is

thoroughly familiar with the finan-
cial needs OF the county. His enc

National Good Roads Congress.

The first American Road congress
to be held at Richmond, Va, begin
ming November 22, should attract
delegates from every state in the
union. Nebraska, which has a good
roads association, has not yet reached
the point OF development where II
has plethoric treasury and the as
soCiation is without funds this year
for sending a delegate to Richmond,
nevertheless it is the belief that a
delegate will go. even II he pays his
own expenses, or perhaps they will
be paid by a voluntary subscription
from the association. However that
may be, Nebraska has taken ad-
vanced ground in favor OF the good
roads movement. II has the soil that
naturally makes good roads and is
already far ahead OF many states in
the good roads IL has built and is

The Steel Trust Suit.

Big business has been complaining
Of uncertainties and demanding as a
means OF restoring confidence TO
know more OF the governments pro-
gram with reference TO industry.
While such a position has not, dur
ing the life Of the present administra-
ton, seemed tenable, yet II further in
formation is required, it surely will be
obtained through the suit asking the
dissolution OF the United States Steel
corporation.
Steel. in the vernacular of the
trade, is the business barometer OF
the country. In his report on the
steel industry filed last July, Com
missioner Of Corporations Smith
made this significant statement:
The Steel corporation Is the greatest in
dustrial concern in the United states,
with the largest properties and Of inter-
national Importance. u is the most con-
splcuous example OF the modern corporate
organization Of great businesses As such,
the relation OF It's .nvestms mt 20 its cap
itallzatIon and TO It's earning power are
matters Of public concern.
The public must recognize, there
fore, the formidableness OF its under
taking in dlssolving a trust that alb
solutely controls every detail OF It's
own business from the ore in the
ground to the finished product, and
not only that, but has relations TO
other lines OF industry that in
trenches its position
The basic industry of steel maxi
ing, as the commissioner Of corpora
tions has stated, affects all the peo-
pie. In the beginning and ever since,
the ruling motive of the Steel COM
bine was the curtailment of compe-
tition. The indignation of the steel
interests really began in 1898, but 1t
was in 1901 that the combine de-
veloped its strength. Then, accord
ing to the findings upon which the
governments suit is based, a fair
market value of its tangible property
was 100000, slightly less than
one-half it's capitalization, On De-
cember 81 1910, the tangible prop
erty valuation was placed at $1,1S7,-
100000 and the capitalization was
$1,4GS, 900. An average rate of
profit on the corporations actual in
vestment from 1901 to 1910 of ~
per cent was maintained.
Dissolution of this gigantic COM
bine would doubtless have a final ef-
feet upon whatever similar suits are
yet to come. The government has
come in this case to the crux OF its
policy of treating with industrial
combines and takes its longest step
forward in that direction.
