z|MMAN MAY Be
TRANSFERRED TO
RINGERS PLACE
Rumors Fly Thick and Fast
at City Hall; Suppressed
Air of Excitement
Is Felt.

Rumors were flying thick and fast
yesterday afternoon in the city hall
that City Commissioner Zimman
would be transferred from his pres
ent place as superintendent of the
fire department to the superinten-
dency of the police department, to
succeed Commissioner Ringer.
Whatever foundation there may
be for the rumors the commission
ers themselves would not confirm
them. 1t is believed that Zimman
would at least be supported by
Commissioners Butler and Falcone.
in this matter and one more vote Oh
the council would suffice to put it
over. If the necessary fourth vote
exists it cannot be pinned down at
this time.
There is something doing in the
city hall, at any rate" is the way
careful observer expressed it yester
day.
Asked for Police Department.
When the new administration
went in year ago last month Mr..
Zimman asked during the organiza
ton of departments for the police
department. The mayor and Com
missioners Ringer, FOWL and Ure
took their pick" first and then gave
Mr.. Zimman the choice of the fire,
park or street departments. He
chose the fire department.
Mr.. Ringer appears to be stand
ing pat under the fire which is be-
ing directed against him.
Elmer E. Thomas, FORMER attor-
Rey for the Anti-Saloon league,
called on the police commissioner
yesterday. 1t is no secret, how
ever, that some of the so-called
reform element are not giving Mr..
Ringer their moral support in this
exigency.
There is suppressed atmosphere
in the city hall, which seems to spell
the words, What is going to hap
pen next"

Tagle. and Finn, that other arrests
might be made =
I'VE will arrest at least six more
young girls who are operating in
Omaha stores" said Tagle, "as the
situation has become alarming. The
girls have friends who are not en-
ployed in the store to whom they
are able to slip goods with little
danger Of detection. This method
of stealing is the most difficult to
combat"

Council Postpones
Plan to Replace Gas
Lamps With Electric

The city council committee of the
whole yesterday voted to postpone
proposed replacement of us gas
street lamps with arc lamps. In view
Of the prospective requirement OF the
gas plant by the city, Mayor Smith
deemed it to be inadvisable to take
action on this matter now.
These gas street lamps are an
tiquated and expensive. They are
costing the city $50 to $35 per lamp
per year." said Commissioner Zim-
man, who offered the resolution.
There are US gas lamps now in
service. They cost $22 per lamp
last year for maintenance in addition
to $4,000 paid to the Omaha Gas
Co. We may get better electric
light at less expense"
Personally | favor the electric
light. The gas light is joke" said
Mayor Smith. "But in view of the
gas plant appraisal proceedings, l
do not think we should take action
at this time"

check. We are consulting State En-
gineer Johnson, County Engineer
Adams, and government road engi-
reers as. to the specifications of the
paving to be put down. Contracts
will be drawn in accordance with
those Specifications.
Then we will have our own engi-

to the very letter. These special en-!
gineers will be on the job all day

roads. On the transportation OF live
stock into the South Omaha market,
he said, the farmers of the county

of paved roads. The upkeep Of the
10000 automobiles in Douglas coun-
ty will amount to at least 100000
per year, he said. Fifty thousand
dollars additional from tourists will

TRUE COOPERATION

1t is well occasionally to review
the principles of true cooperation so
that we will not get away from them
In our own enterprises or take up
with so-called cooperative schemes
that are not cooperative at all.
There are three essentials to genu-
Inc co-operation-dem control,
Limitation of interest on stock cap
ital, and patronage dividends. A
company or association which de-
parts from any of these essentials is
not truly cooperative, no matter
what it may be called.
Democratic control is established
ideally when each stakeholder has
only one vote. regardless of the num-
Der of shares he may hold. Concen-
tration of control may also be in
sured against by limiting the num-
Der Of shares of stock that any per
son may own. There can be no such
- ENhuiuCis cooperative
company as a small group of men
having a controlling interest.
The dividend on stock should not
be higher than the going rate of in
terest. Cooperative associations
are not organized to make business
profits and big stock dividends. but
TO serve their patrons and save them
money. Big stock dividends defeat
the very purpose of cooperation
Everything above expenses, reserve
and interest on the stock should be
returned 10 the patrons in proper,
ton to their trade.
Co-operators do not agree as to
whether patronage dividends should
