Are the State Funds Being Farned Out

one OF the formal charges made by Governor
Morehead against State Treasurer Hall is that
the latter's Crouch" dates from the alleged
reduction over his dissent OF the taxes Of the
state by $4,000, 900. thus deprving the treasurer
OF the control Of that much money which would
otherwise come into his custody. Speaking OF
the treasurers objection. the governor says:
May 81 not have been selfish reason, as It ap-
20 that II IN The writing Of the bond?
with great amount Of money In the treasury you
could have bank accounts and greater political
machine. Or II may have been that you could have
given aid TO the banks that your relatives are
interested in. You have stated 10 parties that you
have state money deposited in YOUR banks This
may be far a direct deposit IL concerned,
but since you have been state treasurer banks IN the
vicinity Of your Franklin bank have more than $500
deposited with OF which were not customers
before you elected and who have state
money The verdon state bank OF which your brother
is president and the Hall family own and control. has
$4,000 OF state deposits. DO you not think your inter
ests are being pretty well taken care Of?
More bluntly speaking, the governor charges
that the public money is being farmed out by
the state treasurer for the personal profit OF
either himself or his family and business asso-
ciates. The law does not distinguish between
farming out public funds directly for ones own
benefit and farming IL out indirectly TO the
same end. One Nebraska state treasurer went

state money. and his successor who came in
with loud trumpeting az a populist reformer
was exposed and indicted for deal by which
interest on deposits OF school money was cred
tied to his private account in his own bank
With these bitter lessons OF past experience so
well known. era OF farming out Nebraska's
public funds for personal gain, even circuitously
ss charged by the governor. would be mex
ousable.
The people OF Nebraska for some reason have
not grasped the seriousness OF this treasury
scandal, nor are the law-enforcing officers keen
to their duty. Unless we are mistaken. the peo-
pie will At the right time want to know the
reason why, and demand an accounting from all

SOUTH SIDE. OMAHA, Sept. 15-To
the Editor Of The Bee: While 1 do not
care much personally whether we get
on and off the street cars on the near or
far side II seems TO me that the only
logical and sensible side IL the fer side.
What do we care what some other
city may do about it?
What do we care il some OF the auto
mobile owners want 1t to be done on
the near side?
There are tens Of thousands more people
In Omaha and vicinity who do not own
automobiles than those who do own them,
and they are the people who are to be
considered.
1t looks rather ridiculous to make peo-
pie get on and off cars in the middle of
a block and 1t will seem more so when
we have snow waist deep, as we are
apt to have this and as we did last
winter. At most corners there is some
kind Of shelter for people TO get under
In stormy weather when they are waiting
for the street cars. but i'm the middle of
most blocks they will Just have to stand
and take the rain, sleet, SHOWS and cold
winds when waiting for cars The city
commissioners probably all ride In auto
mobiles at the expense of the taxpayers.
They should take into consideration that
the people who do not own automobiles
are in vast majority and at least rs per
cent OF the patrons of the street railway
would vote for the far side.
! am glad to see that Mr.. Getten has
filed a petition with 10000 names. At
least 10000 more could be secured.

as Robley d. Evans, vigorously supported by
Nelson A. Miles, was clamoring that the United
states should take over the anthracite coal mines
In order that the navy might have a supply OF

that the great volume Of smoke from a battle
fleet was the surest way to advise an enemy OF

Nebraska a. ! Fruit. Growing State

The exhibit at the Nebraska State Fair, con-
tanning more than 5000 varieties Of fruit grown
In the state, must have been an eye-opener to
many who have looked on Nebraska as given
over to cereal and forage crops. AS matter of
fact. we have laid undue stress on the great
yield Of corn and wheat, alfalfa and hay, to the
neglect and sometimes total exclusion OF other
and almost equally important factors in state
wealth. Nebraska has come to be one OF the
real leaders In fruit raising and the growers are
Just beginning to understand the possibilities of
the state In this avenue for money making on

are not exoelled in any OF the loudly advertised
regions where land is held at fabulous prices.
