This question was put to the Public

This. II seems to me, would be dan
gerous under any circumstances, but IS
particularly so in crowded streets

OF where John Samuels Of Riverton, IA,

sold TO other parties and later the heirs
to the Samuels1 estate started suit and
attempted to cancel the notes and set
aside the Sloniger deal. making the plea
that Samuels. at the time the deal was
made, was incompetent and mentally UNI
balanced. In the compromise 1t is un-
derstood that both sides are to stand
their owp costs. various cancellations of

Reappraisal Of
School Lands Up
Before the Board
,rrom a staff correspondent.l

(from SJaII correspondent
LINCOLN. Neb.. Jan. S0-(Special.)-
For the first time in the history of the
State Board of Education lands and
funds, a lessee of state school lands to-
day took his objections to an increase
in the appraised value of the leased land
directly before the board.
Moreover, p. L. Hopper of Hayes
county, the lessee. took the matter up
with the board without even consulting
Land Commissioner Beckman. who makes
the re-appraisals. AS a result It is un-
derstood that there was some little heat
manifest at the hearing. The board
took its action under advisement.
The land commissioner has reappraised
over 1900 acres of school lands and has
had only two or three that really com
planned. For the most part the school
LANDS are appraised so low that most of
the lessees are more than content to let
well enough alone even when the ap-
praised value is raised to comparatively
high figure. The land commissioner
raised the appraised value of Hopper
quarter from $40 to sl2. The lease fig
ure is per cent of the appraised value.
The land commissioner has lacked the
funds for anything like a general reap
praisement of school lands and is at pres
emit asking the legislature to make such
thing possible, as the low appraisal
values are in some instances notorious.
