Omaha Banks May
Need No Government
Funds to Move Crops

1t Is likely that the $4,000 Of crop
moving money received by the Omaha
banks from the federal treasury some
weeks ago as the first installment Of
the 100000 apportioned as loan during
the crop-moving season, is all that will
be received this year. At the time the
$4,000 was sent TO Omaha II was desig-
mated as the first installment. and 1t was
said the rest would come in few weeks.
OF at least later in the season.
Bankers now say they have reason to
believe that the rest viii not come, as
they have had an intimation. though NJ
direct statement, that the money can be
used only by the federal government at
the treasury. and that it is not to be sent
out in these loans now.
Omaha bankers say they will get
along very well without the balance of
this crop-moving money, although in
some cases It might have been a con-
venience TO have it.

FEDERAL ROAD POLICIES

There has been a steady movement
for better roads during the past 20
years, and today about "a states have
highway commissioners or some other
state highway agency. The total an
nual expenditure of the states for con.
struction and maintenance of roads
which ten years ago amounted to but
1000, 900, has grown to S43, 00O, 900 in
1912. The Federal Government should
take the lead in investigational and
experimental work, and there Is need
for a central agency which can fur
nish the best information on all pro-
blems of road building and mainten.
ance Recently congress made an ap-
preparation of $500, 900 for improving
post roads, expenditure to be conting-
ent on the appropriation of double the
amount of money by the state or local
subdivision. If federal aid Is to be
further extended in highway develop
ment, legislation to that end should
incorporate this cooperative principle
The federal government should deal
with the state as the lowest unit,
through an expert highway commits
sioner as its agency. The plan should
provide for maintenance as well as
construction. Preference should be
given to the improvement Of roads
over which products from the farms
can be taken to the nearest railway
station. A scheme of road construc-
ton and maintenance within a state
should be developed and mutually
agreed upon. Money appropriated by
the federal government should be ap-
portioned on the basis of such factors
as total population, farm population,
area. taxable valuation, and mileage

ture to Congress.

FACES RELATING CHARGE

The United States authorities have
officially confirmed the report that the
federal grand jury had returned in
dictments against the South Dakota
Central Railway company on the
charge of rebating. Papers in the
case now have been served on the
railway company.
Unless the railway company decides
to enter a plea of guilty to the indict-
ments, or to particular counts in them,
it is probable the case will not be tried
until the October term of federal
court in Sioux Falls, as the petit
jurors for the present term Of court
already have been discharged with the
exception of those trying the last case
for the term.
Two indictments were returned
against the railway company, each
containing ten counts. One count
charges the railway company with be-
ing guilty Of rebating on a shipment
or coal Drought from Iowa 10 water
town, the northern terminus of the
railway, which extends from Sioux
Falls to WATERFOWL. The coal after
wards was shipped to Sinai in Brook
ings county on the line between the
two terminal points. The company,
it is understood, claims the coal be-
longed to the company and that it was
shipped to WATERFOWL to receive the
benefit of lower rates from the Iowa
point from which 1t was shipped.
The remaining counts in the indict-
ments are based on different cases in
which the railway company claims de-
murrage charges Ire charged by the
government to have been rebates.

OPINIONS ON PRIMARY LAW

On %inquairy from the states attor-
ney of Corson county, 1t is held by
the state legal department that there
is no provision under the Richards
promary act, nor for that matter under
any other law. providing mileage com
pensation for judges Of elections re-
turning the ballot boxes to the county
seat. The only compensation fixed for
such judges is SO per day, and this
may be stretched to cover the time
taken in making the return of ballot
boxes, but that is all under the ruling
of the department.
1t is also held along the same lines
that county officials who form a part
of a ~canvassing board which must
meet in some other county than their
own, in the cas- at issue (being the
trip of Yankton county officials to
Wheeler to nva judicial r%eturns),
1t Is held that such officers are not en-
titled to any compensation other than
their actual expenses in making such
trip.
On inquiry from Hughes county 1t Is
held that when the county takes tax
title to a town lot 1t takes the title
subject to any special assessment
taxes which may have been placed
against the property. The holders of
certificates issued for the special as
sesment have a right of recovery, but
1t cannot be by sale of the property,
but by suit and judgment.

management of the course have been

secured. He is a man of national re-
putation having been associated with
some of the leading universities Of the
country including Harvard, Nebraska,
Chicago, Leland, Stanford and is the
author of several text books on the
subject of sociology.
