CODE Law WILL
Be UP TO COURT
Attorney General Holds Circu.
lation Did Not Meet Require
ments of the Governor
Will Await Decision.
BY a Staff Correspondent.

! Lincoln. July lot will be up to
the courts to decide upon the valid
ity of the referendum petitions filed
to hold up the administrative code
law, Secretary of State Amsbury,
after putting the matter up to At
torney General Davis for his opin-
ion, having decided with the attor-
ney general that the petitions were
not circulated in Legal form and do
not meet the requirements of the
referendum law, and Governor Nc
kelvie will not attempt to organize
the departments under the law
pending final decision by the courts.
Opponents to the code law who
have been back of the referendum
petitions have laid great stress on
what they claim is direct contra
diction OF the opinion of the supreme
court or the referendum on THE Ne
braska City armory case. This was
a case where the legislature appro-
priatea a sum of money to erect a
memorial armory on the original
site OF old Fort Kearney. The pc
titions, in giving the title Of the
bill, left out the word original" !"
This was simply the only matter
considered by the court and not one
as to whether the petitions should
have printed the full text of the
bill. As a fact the petitions did
have copy OF the bill attached
when fled.
Copy of Law Required.
The attorney general holds that
in the circulation of the petitions
a copy of the code law should have
been presented with the petitions.
He holds that it was not necessary
inI film the petitions that each
sheet should have code law at
tached, but that at the time of the
circulation of the petitions the at
fidavits ON the petitions should
show that the circulator of the Pc
titions had code law attached to
the petition so that the signer
thereof could examine it and dis
cover what the bill contained.
Since the secretary Of state has
held up the petitions pending legal
information before accepting them,
democratic newspapers have
charged openly that it was an at
tempt of the governor to get the
matter into the courts so that it
would be delayed and no opinion
of the court reached for a year or
two.
The law for the statute specific
ally states that in case of appeal
from the action of the secretary of
state the case shall be tried
at once and If appeal is taken to
the supreme court the case shall be
placed at the head of the, calendar
and take precedence over all other
cases. So that if the case goes to
the courts and makes the usual
run it will be considered by the
court the first sitting in September
IN his answer to the request of
Secretary Of State Amsbury>/ for
light upon the legality of the refer
'endnm petitions, Attorney General
Davis makes several quotations
from the statutes and to the speci-
fic question as to whether a copy of
the code bill should be attached to
the referendum petitions says:
"*.*." and referendum petitions
shall be attached to full and cor
rect copy of the measure on which
the referendum is demanded and may
be filed in numbered sections in
like manner"

FIFTH ARMY FOUGHT WELL

annihilated. For every inch of ground

proved to be magnificent heroes.

not be said IN praise of the Fifth
army, for 1t saved the day and pre-
vented the Huns from breaking through
to Abbeville until the French came up.

GET WATER FIRST.

The game OF storing waste water
for future use on thirst desert
there should be full cooperation.
Especially on the part of the farm
ers section most interested. Pay
cite County is mainly interested in
the Black Canyon Project which If
accomplished would mean doubling
the amount of irrigated land in the
County. it is a matter that should
receive the cooperation and prompt
action of every citizen in the Coun-
ty.
The work of the Reclamation as
ISOLATION is not child's dream. 1t
is a rerious business effort, and part
OF the game to secure half mil
lion dollars operating capital for the
reclamation of dry lands in the
West. Some of the communities
haven't shown their mettle. They
are located in farming sections that
are vitality interested in the success
or failure of the reclamation plans.
This isn't balloon adventure. 1t
demands the tense interest of ey-
cry live citizen in the State. The
big theory to be considered is that
of securing a half billion dollars APP
preparation to store water in the
western areas. Ways and means
will be provided for its distribution
even IL the Government does not
participate TO the extent of going
into the canal system The main
thing required is to conserve the
supply. It's proper distribution is
but small matter, millions are
available for that purpose.
The big purpose is to control the
supply and stop the leaks, hold the
water for the dry season and the ex-
ira lands and Idaho and other wes-
tern states for will see that it is
properly distributed 1t can't be
stored without dams, and dams
can't be built without Government
aid. That aid cannot be secured
without solid cooperation by all
Counties. Get behind the PROPOSE
ton and boost.

You can argue until you are black
in the face about utility rates such
as gas. electric, phone, street rail-
way, etc., but you can't get away
rom the fact that wages have gone
up and are continuing to rise, that
materials used by these companies
Lave doubled and trebled in cost
md that taxes have risen to point
never dreamed of 5 years ago.
These are facts which we cannot
deny
1t is no longer a question of
whether utility companies want to
--aise rates. they have got TO have
rates sufficient to meet these in
creased costs of operation, or go in
20 bankruptcy.
A wooden headed man can see the
points at ossue; how much of an in
crease is necessary to permit the
companies to operate. pay present
day wages. give good service to the
public, make extensions as required
and receive safe return on invest
ments.
Public ownership is no remedy as
government operation of railroads
has clearly proved, where an addi-
tional burden of s1.700,000,0o0 has
been loaded onto taxpayers in less
than two years and service reduced.
The safe and sane remedy is to al
low our utility companies to make
sufficient revenue to operate sue
cessfully and let the citizen who re-
ceiyes the service pay for what he
gets and not load part OF it onto the
general taxpayer
This is mere common sense and
the course pursued by any successful
business, whether. large or small.
Why force public utility to run at
a lossz It's not good business, its
mere political robbery.
