Zines, Lioenseu, Fees and Permits.

According to state house advices Treasurer
Hall 10 undertaking to make a new ruling for
the distributions of collections in this provision
of the Nebraska constitution, which reads:
All fines. penalties and license moneys arising
under the general laws OF the state shall belong
be paid to the counties respectively where tho
same may be levied or imposed (and) shall
DO appropriated exclusively TO the and support
the common schools in the respective Subdivisions
where the same may accrue.
The state treasurer is said to be now con-
STRUNG this to cover moneys paid for permits
issued by various departments OF the state gov
eminent, and to purpose putting this revenue in
the temporary school fund. having made a start
with a small item collected by the railway COM
mission for warehouse permits.
This raises two very important questions
first, as to whether permits and licenses are the
same, and second, II so, whether permit fees
belong In the temporary school fund We APP
prehend that the treasurer will discover that all
authorities define license as distinctly differ
ent from permit. and that the fee for permit
is much more like the reimbursement OF the
cost OF special service, such. for example. as
court fees. sheriff's fees, inspection fees etc.
The question takes on a much wider scope from
the omitted part OF the constitutional provision
quoted. which uses identical language with ref
erence to all fines, penalties and license moneys
arising under the rules bylaws or ordinances
OF cities. towns or other subdivisions less than
the county. II Treasurer Halls new departure
is correct for the state. then It must apply also
TO every county. city. town and school district in
the state. and completely change the accepted
practice OF forty years.
But should the state treasurer uphold his
position how can he put this money into the
temporary school fund when the constitution
says Il belongs 10 the disfrict In ,vh,ch a. e..
aecruef" In the case of the warehouse permit
money the fees are collected by the railway com
mission presumably at Lincoln, but they accrue
for permits for warehouses located In different
counties. Lancaster county surely has no ex-
elusive claim to these revenues. estimated to
aggregate several hundred thousand dollars a
year. nor can they rightfully be apportioned to
all the counties on the same basis as the income
from permanent school funds. Our advice is
for Treasurer Hall to make sure OF where he IL
likely to land before he goes any further

II now transpires that the American steamer
Leelansw was sent to the bottom only after the
German submarine captain had scrupulously
observed the punctlo OF visit and search also
that the ships company was courteously treated
by the captors in the matter Of removing per-
sonal belongings and being conveyed in safety
to land This brings any question as to the dis
posal of the vessel down to the character of ship
and cargo Flax was long ago declared to be
absolute contraband by the German government,
and at best will fall under the head of material
that may be useful in war. For this reason the
cargo was condemned. The vessel, although
flying neutral flag. was plying between enemy
ports, and carrying contraband, and, therefore,
was liable. The one question that remainu is
the possibility Of taking the ship to port OF the
intercepting power. In the case Of the Frye
the German government admits liability under
an ancient treaty between Prussia and the
United States. This point may be raised again
to secure compensation for the Leelanaw, but

VOTES IN The BALANCE
Women, Confident in New Jersey, Are
Laughed at by Opponents.

Newark, Oct. 1s.-The big fight on
woman suffrage today is only "a
hours away. At o'clock tomorrow
morning the polls in New Jersey will
be opened to determine whether wom-
en- shall be given the right to vote.
Two weeks from tomorrow the
three other eastern states of New Y ork,
Pennsylvania and Massachusetts like
wise will decide whether they will
join their twelve western sister states
in giving women the ballot.
President Wilson's declaration for
suffrage, reinforced by a thorough
and vigorous campaign waged by or
CARNATIONS and workers, is expected
by suffrage leaders TO carry the day
for suffrage in his home state of New
Jersey. Their victory is sure and by
a good margin, they say.
On the other hand, those opposed to
suffrage are inclined to laugh at these
claims, and assert that the proposed
constitutional amendment to enfran-
chise women will be buried under an
avalanche of votes
