TRADE UNIoNIST AND FARMER

ELECTS OFFICERS

There is a harmony in the ideals
for which trade unionists and pro-
gressive farmers have long been
fighting. So similar have in many
ways been their objects of attain
ment that it is wondered by many
students of economy that they have
not banded In a common fight. But
interests that might suffer in purse if
farmers or unions secured correction
of certain evils that exist today have
succeeded until now not only in
keeping the farmer and union man
from cooperating, but have often
kept them at enmity with each other.
The farmers and union men of Hi
nois are going to get together, talk
things over, find out where their
common interest lies and plan ways
of securing their desires. Especially
do they want legislation that will

Inheritance Tax
On Brandeis Estate
Will Net Tidy Sum

Douglas county will profit very ma
terially from the inheritance tax on
the estate OF the late Arthur Bran
deis, although the amount paid will
not be as great as that from several
other estates probated in Omaha
According to County Judge Bryce
Crawford, the amount to be paid in
from the Arthur Brandeis estate will
probably be between $4,000 and 10000.
The amount goes into the road fund.
Administrators have not yet filed
their formal inventory Of property
and no appraisal for purpose of col
lecting the income tax can be made
until they do so.
The estate Of Hugo Brandeis paid
an inheritance tax Of $4,000, but the
estate Of his brother, Arthur, will not
reach this figure, as he was citizen
of New York state at the time OF his
death.

MORE ORATORY IN
COUNCIL MEETING
]. A. Sunderland, R. B. Howell
and Commissioners Hold
Forensic Free for All.
ARISES OVER LIGHT RATES

The city council chamber is becom.
ing quite q social center, where ora
tory is heard every now and then The
council meetings used to be dry, for
NAL affairs, but new esprit de corps
have been developed, and every now
and then there is a session that is
worth the money.
AT meeting Of the council commit
tee Of the whole yesterday morning,
J. A. Sunderland. R. B. Howell, Mayor
Dahlman and Commissioners Butler
and Jardine held a little forensic free
for-all. The remark was made that
the council chamber is public
speedway where debaters may burn
up few shavings.
X. B. Howell and J, A. Sunderland
were the chief opponents of spoken
ideas on this occasion. Mr.. Sunder-
land appeared as chairman of the
Commercial clubs special electric
light rate committee, to ask that the
council agree to delegate a repre-
sentative to confer with a represen-
tative of the light company in the
capacity of advising the special COM
mittee before it makes up its final re-
port of information recently prepared
by three experts.
Howell Speaks Up.
rs there anything in your engi-
neer's report which the public should
not know asked Mr.. Howell. who
added: The committee should do its
work openly and above board. Your
committee is in an unfortunate posi-
ton. The public does not feel that
the electric light company is paying
the expenses Of these engineers for a
report adverse to the company"
Il resent the imputation that our
committee is dominated by General
Harries or the light company. This
is an honorable committee replied
Mr.. Sunderland, with considerable
Must File Report.
Commissioner Butler insisted that
the special committee should file with
the city copy of the engineers re-
ports as requested in a recent resolu-
ton of the council. He was sus-
tanned,
The discussion arose when the But
Ter 6-cent electric light rate ordinance
was brought up. This ordinance was
laid over for sixty days upon motion
Of the mayor.
Mr.. Sunderland explained that his
is endeavoring to perform
1 public service in arriving al what
would be 4 reasonable and just rate,
Or rates, to be charged by the light
company. In view of this effort by
he committee a majority of the city
council believe that the Commercial

It's own way, the understanding being
that, the findings of the committee
have no binding effect on the council,
but will be accepted for what they

ROAD DRAGGING
FUND HAS BALANCE
New Automobile License Law
Proves Bonanza for Doug.
las County Highways.
INCREASE IN LICENSES

If Douglas county roads are not in
good condition this season it will not
be due to lack of available funds to
keep them in shape.
The new automobile license law is
proving a genuine bonanza, so far as
Douglas county is concerned, and the
road dragging fund now contains a
balance of $26.s7o.32, Immediately
available for road dragging, upon
order of the county commissioners.
The number of automobile licenses
issued this year is far in excess Of
expectations, and the number issued
daily continues to be large. More
than 200 numbers have been issued
since July |, and the total Of ma
chimes licensed in Douglas county is
nearing the 5000 mark, according to
County Treasurer IRE.
The annual license is s., or $l.s0
for six months, the licenses expiring
December 81, 1916. OF the amount
paid, IS cents goes into the state
treasury to pay for numbers and reg
istration. and the balance goes into
the road dragging fund Of the county
in which the license is paid.
Balance Is Large.
Since January |, $20,50O has been
paid into the Dounglas county road
dragging fund from this source, and
balance of $l0,l67 was on hand at
the opening OF the year. So far the
county commissioners have ordered
the expenditure Of but $4,087 for
road dragging.
We are keeping the roads in good
shape, and for the first time have
plenty of money available for drag
ging," said Commissioner A. c.
Harte. 1--WE have one big machine
at work on the Military road to Elk
City, another ON the Lincoln high
way, and third on other main trav-
eled roads running into Omaha. In
addition, we are employing num-
Der of four-horse machines on the
lateral roads intersecting with the
other highways. Plenty of funds are
on hand to keep our men employed
constantly, and Douglas county roads
should show great improvement I'm.

Continued From Saturday,

Though the earthquake caused con-
siderable material damage to Sands
boro, partially wrecking the hotel, a
bank and several smaller buildings,
but few casualties and no fatalities
resulted. Within an hour Hope, Cleo
and DR.. Owen, their clothing still
showing traces of dust and falling
plaster, were seated about table in
the latter's study, porting over the
book which Cleo had snatched from
Olga during the panic in the restau-
rant.
There's nothing in this one,

turned the last leaf and slammed the
cover. That leaves six more books
to look for. Things are narrowing

the storekeeper in response to Hopes
question. We'll, reckon do. I've
sold heap of goods to Dick. He's
outfitted with me for's much as fif-
teen years"
What is his businessi" asked
Hope.
Well" said the merchant re.
flectively, Il reckon you might call
Dick prospector and not be
far wrong. At any rate, that's what
he's been doing as longs I've known
him. Never made a strike that |
heard tell of, but he always has
money to pay his bills. A queer fell
low, Dick is. Quiet sort, fond OF
books, never talks about himself,
seems to like his own company, stays
just long enough to get his mail and
load up his burro with provisions, and
then he's off for the mountains again.
He takes trip to Frisco once or
twice year and when he comes back
he usually has lot of old books with
him. Gets 'em to read when he's
off prospecting, | reckon. Come to
think of it, he'd just got back from
the city the last time | seen him."
How long ago was that?"
About a week--ten days maybe"

Were you wanting to see him about

him very much indeed" ......~

to sit right down here in Santa
