New Point in Law
Put Up to Buffalo
School Officer

KEARNEY, Neb., Dec. s.-(Special)-
Are parents or teachers responsible for
the acts of children while they are sup
posed to be in attendance at school? is
the weighty legal question which County
Superintendent Nichols OF Buffalo county
was called upon to decide yesterday when
he made a hurried trip to Gibbon. Mr..
Nichols is befuddled. He says he is not
acting as a barrister, but rather Is trying
TO learn his young hopefuls.
The question came up in this way:
Seven miles north of Gibbon is little
country school. The teacher is kindly
and handsome young woman, who Is not
without individualism, and though 1t is
not customary to do such a thing, she
decided to give the little boys and girls
Of the school play hours while the older
students were reciting their lessons.
In the Joy of freedom and exercising
their prerogatives as young Americans
the Riddles brought out the ever present
match from their pockets to show the
little misses with them that they were
almost men. The inevitable result-a fire
Hay to the value of $50 was destroyed
The irate owner made demands for the
amount from parents of the children
Parents refused positively to stand fol
the amount and said the teacher was
responsible for letting the children do it
The agriculturist then asked for money
from the school district. The boart
called in the superintendent. Heidi no
know and frankly said so.

BRYANS TRYING
TO FRAME SLATE
Mayor of Lincoln Tries to Influ-
ence State officer to See
His Way.
DEMOCRATS DO NOT LIKE PLAN
Crrcm sad correspOndentl

tFrom a staff Correspondent
LINCOLN. Dec. S--(Special)-lt has
leaked out and from a reliable source
that very recently Mayor Bryan has
called in a number OF friends who are
still with him on his prohibition mani
festo and some others who have not been
very enthusiastic over the orders made
by Mr. Bryan requiring every democratic
candidate for office to pledge himself for
prohibition or he could not have the sup
port of the organs and has started
campaign to manufacture slate COM
posed OF men of the Bryan stamp to fill
every state office on the democratic
ticket
Those who have been backward in fall
ing in with the Plan have been taken upon
the pinnacle of the political temple, fed
grape juice till their eyes bulged out and
have been promised many alluring things
IL they will only fall down and worship
at the Bryan shrine, While they have
not been threatened with political murder
II they do not. it is understood that the
idea is given them that to fail to fall for
the Bryan plan will mean political death
to all the plans OF the one who is called
on the carpet.
1t is we'll known that Mayor Bryan has
attempted to influence certain demo-
cratic state officer by telling him that a
slate composed of men who will pledge
themselves In favor of the prohibition
amendment Is to be made up and II he
does not pledge himself to the Bryan
plan he will find another man opposing
him for the place at the primary.
1t is given out by prominent democrats
here that the Bryan threat so far has
had the effect of making sentiment
against the amendment to be voted upon
at the next election and that as a general
thing the party leaders and many of the
| rank and file are opposed to judging the
| fitness of a man for office simply on his
| stand for or against prohibition. The
state officer who claims TO have beer
called on the carpet by the mayor. 1t Is
| said, is very favorable to the amendment
and has always had a tendency alons
those lines and does not relish the idee
of being compelled to knuckle down e
any self-styled leader and threatened with
political death II he does not pledge him
self 20 the plan.
Who will be on the dry democratic slat,
being prepared by Mr.. Bryan is no
known, but 1t is generally suspected tina
Mr.. Bryan will head it himself as tn,
gubernatorfsl candidate. In the opinion
of some of the men who want to run 70
office a ticket headed by the Lincoll
mayor does not appeal as very much o
an inducement to pledge themselves 70
prohibition.

Assessment Plan
Will Give a Boost
To States Values

LINCOLN, Dec. s CSpeciaD.-The e.
forts of the state board of assessment
to bring about an assessment by county
assessors Of all real estate at Is per cent
of its real value. II successful, will mean
that the one-fifth valuation will increase
the total valuation of real estate in this
state about s65.7io,Oo0. This will make the
assessed valuation of lots and lands in
crease from SS2S6e9, o5i to Sse4, $50. 9il. and
will increase the total valuation OF the
state from $3.50. 1872 to s546,554lS2.
This is the plan which Secretary
Bernecker Of the state board has been
working on during the past month or so
and will mean an increase OF about % per
cent i'm the valuation of real estate. The
law requires property to he liste1 at its
actual value and assessed at one-fifth
value. The board proposes to list the
land at its sale value, taking the rec
ords of the county recorders office for
it. Believing that a great many of the
sales are shown at more than the real
sale prize it has been decided that 70
per cent of the sale value will about be
the right valuation for taxation pur-
poses.
