One Wan Ont Of the Dilemma.

Either democratic incompetence or demo-
cratic negligence has created condition at the
state house which threatens to become serious
to Nebraska taxpayers To our mind. the posi-
ton taken by state Treasurer Hail il unshaka-
bic. namely that he cannot lawfully pay out
public money In his custody without a legisla-
tive appropriation OF It, and that to do would
be palpable violation of the constitution which
he has taken oath TO obey and enforce The
failure of the legislature to make appropriations
does not warrant his ignoring OF the state con-
stitution even on demand OF the governor OF the
advice Of the attorney general, nor would It be
whit safer for the governor to disregard the
law as proposed by intercepting the fees col
lected by his appointees. and using the money
without putting It through the treasury At
the same time Il would be in the nature of a
calamity, we admit. to stop altogether the work
OF state food inspection to say nothing OF the
loss OF revenue II no inspection fees are earned.
While The Bee has no responsibility what
ever for the democratic trouble-makers we may
suggest one way out Of the dilemma for which
there is lawful precedent Let the governor and
treasurer arrange with state depository banks
to advance the needed money. which the legis-
lature failed TO appropriate, as loan TO be
drawn on with due safeguards, TO meet these
requirements, and continue to pay the fees col
lected into the treasury, depending on the next
legislature to make a deficiency appropriation
reimburslng the amount advanced. This was
once before done when the cost OF bringing
home the First Nebraska regiment was met by
a popular subscription raised on the distinct
promise that the legislature would afterwards
provide for the return Of the money. We real
lie that this is a roundabout way out, but It
could be adopted without calling the law
makers in special session and without making
any public official invite impeachment.

Effeot Of Rates on Travel,

In their eager striving for restoration of
former passenger rates western railroad man
ayers flout the claim that the lower rates stimu-
late travel They assert that the reductions
procured by law have not increased the volume
OF business sufficiently to offset the cut in fares
However this may be, the railroad men in this
attitude ignore the automobile cutting into rail
travel as we'll as the disturbance of war. The
former is certain to continue as factor in local
transportation. 1t is equally certain that cleo
trio lines viii expand with population and grow
in public favor by reason of reduced rates.
return TO former passenger rates would tend to
force resort to other means OF transportation
This has been demonstrated in two striking In
stances. Tho Reading railroad formerly en-
joyed a great volume OF suburban traffic at Phil
adelphia. An advance in rates sent thousands
OF patrons TO the trolley lines. and many trains

rates In June the slump in passenger revenue

A Demand and II. Answer.

When all the worlds business was upset a
year ago much OF inconvenience was promised
for the United States because OF the stoppage
OF sources OF supply depended upon to provide
certain articles not produced In this country.
The very natural answer to the demand thus
created was found in the preparations to pro-
vide for the home market by supplying home
products. This could not be done at once,
chiefly because OF the lack OF means for the
necessary manufacturing processes and to some
extent because our manufacturers hesitated to
embark the new ventures while the duration
of the war was uncertain But enterprises OF
various sorts have been launched within the
year, and are still being put forward, to the end
that more and more of the articles hitherto i'm
ported are being produced here. Unwonted ae-
tiVity in certain lines OF manufacturing has
overshadowed these new undertakings TO con
siderable degree but from time TO time bits of
information make their way into print, giving
