Thelegislature may propose any amendment to the constitution, and if the same be agreed to by three-fifths of the members olected to each house the amendments may be submitted to the people at the next election wherein members of the legislature are to be voted for, and if a majority of the eleo- tors -~ voting at such election adopt such amendments the same shall become a part of fhe constitution. The law provides that the returns onall constitutional amendments shall be made in every county and the votes canvassed in the same manner and by the same officers as is or may be required by law in the case of electing the execu- tive officers of the state he total vote each county, duly fied to the secretary of state, is returned by each county clerk, and the legislature has in recent years declared amendments lost failed of a majority of the total vote cast as shown by such returns. Two years ago the legislature pro- that two constitutional amend- ments be submitted to the people. One of these related to the investment of school funds: the other to an elective railway commission. Last November the electors of this state voted upon the The votes wore eturns made according The present legislature in joint :d the returns on the two constitutional amendments and de- clared them lost, For some inexplicable reason the present legislature passed a law calling for a recount of the ballots cast for and against these amendments. Despite the 'nest protests of THE Ber this bill became a law The alleged recount is now in progress. It promises to scan- dalizo the present legislature and per- petrate a monstrous fraud upon the electors of this state. The men who in- stigated this measure are going through of what is called a ‘‘recount” of the ballots, and attempting to take the total vote cast for members of the legislature as a basis upon which the constitutional amendments may b declared od. When the framers of our constitution said t an amendment thereto must receive a majority vote of the electors at an election wherein an amendment submitted to the say that the vote posed two propositions. counted and the to law. are was people, they did not it must receive a majority of cast for members of the legis- wery intelligent man in Ne- braska knows that in any election for members of the legislature the total vote therefor is by no means the sum of all the electors voting at such election. The tabulated election returns have proven this fact time and again. There are thousands of electors who vote only for the head of the ticket, or only for unty officers, or maybe for state ex- ccutive officers, and do not vote for members of the legislature. And there are thousands of electors who vote for members of the legislature only. The framers of the constitution knew this, and hence they provided that a con- stitutional amendment must receive a majority of electors voting. The legislature is treading on very dangerous ground in this case. The fact that the two defeated amendments would, if carvied, subserve the best in- terests of the state cannot be considered at this time. The people could have made them a part of the constitution had they been disposed to do so. They did not do so, and they did not send rep- resentatives to the legislature to do so. ‘When the electors of Nebraska want the state constitution. amended they. will amend it. THE WORLD'S FAIR AND TRADE. Omaha people must not forget that the first effect of the World's fair upon retail trade in this city and state will be injurions. After the opening of the fair in May we shall see Omaha and Ne- oraska dollars rolling to Chicago in a way which will greatly deplete our com- mon exchequers. It has been estimated that Nebraska will send 100,000 visitors to the exposition and that each visitor will expend on an average %50 on the trip. The aggregate outflow of cash from the state would upon this basis reach 5,000,000 and probably two-fifths of this will go from Omaha. It is no small matter to send out of a community like Omaha $2,000,000. [t must of neces- sity affect trade unless counterbalanced in some way. Theeffort of our city gov- ornment, of our local capitalists and of all concerned should from this time until the end of the fair be devoted to devising and carrying out plans to neutralize the evil which the great ex- position may do Omaha. We are too close to experience any direct benefit and just close enough to be a great feeder for the enterprising city of Chicago. If we were 1,000 miles from Chicago fewer people would at- tempt to visit the fair. In other words the World's fair is too close for our im- mediate good. After it is over we shall experience some benefits from the re- ion, which will leave Chicago con- ssted with people and money. Omaha is next door west in the line of the march of empire and certain to catch the attention of capital and capitalists, During the progress of the exposition this city can do a great deal by way of advertising and will be visited by thou- sandy enroute across the continent or taking short excursions, Indirectly and ultimately the fair will doubtless be of immense advantage to this city as well as to other interior commercial centers. But while we are waiting for these ben- efits what can we do to offset the disad- vantage of the coming world's ex- hibition? First, let the city and county officials patriotically, vigorously and imme- diately push public work. Wae should oxpend at le 500,000 in wages in pub- 1 May and October and trade which the » will certainly impose. cond, let the capitalists of Omaha have found it difficult to hire their funds at low rates of interest for a year unlock their money vaults and take hold of the railway manufacturing projects which have been the talk of the eity for @ year. When they have shown their fal h by their works, ecastern capital exodus to | will not be slow in following where they lead. Bankers, merchants and capitalists must unite in pushing forward wage paying undertakings to assist in offset- ting the tremendous draught of Chicago upon our resources. Third, let every man, woman and child in Omaha resolve and keep the resolu- tion to give the preference in all pur- chases to Nebraska manufactures. We shall need this summer more than ever to patronize home industry to keep every dollar possible in circulation k . If we send from this city to Chicago 2,000,000 in cold cash for tickets and board bills, we should be very careful not to make it $4,000,000 by buying in the same city $2,000,000 worth of goods which are made and sold within our own tribu-territory We can by concerted, intelligent effort 80 fur counterbalance the ill-effect of the fair as not materially to suffer from the diversion of this large sum from the usual local channels to the great reser- voir at Chicago; but if we sit supinely in our office chairs and do nothing the re- tail dealers of Omaha first, and the job- bers and manufacturers later, will re- member the summer of 1803 as one of ex- ceptional financial stringency, poor trade and slow collections, This isa good year for Omaha citizens particu- larly to be patriotic, energetic, enter- prising and thoughtful, WHAT ARE THEY THERE FOR? The legislature does not seem to be greatly concerned about the exact where- outs of the state money that was poured down the Capital bank rat hole. Suppose a part or all of that immense sum was taken from the state school fund—what then? Article VIIIL., section 9 of the constitution provides that all funds belonging to the state for educa- tional purposes; the interest and income whereof ouly are to be used, shall be deemed trust funds held by the state, and the state shall supply all losses thereof that may in any manner acerue so that the same shall remain forever inviolate and undiminished, etc. 3 This language is plain and admits of no misconstruction. If it shall develop that the embezzled funds were a part of the school money of the state, there is nothing left to be done but to make the school fund whole. To a man up a tree it seems that the legislature cares very little where the money or whither it drifted. The members of that august body, however, were sent to Lincoln to look after the best interests of the state: to stamp out corruption in whatever form it might show its hid- eous head; to investigate all charges of fraud or irregularities in the administration of state affair to inspect state institutions and corre abuses, if any. They were not ele to fritter away time on pleasure jnnl" baseless contests, or trumped-up recounts of amendment votes. The people demand to know that the treasure of the state is properly and honestly kept, and above all they de- mand that steps be taken indead earnest the money unlawfully taken from the state treasur belongs od MORE FREIGHT CARS DEMANDED, The grain calls at the Board of Trade, which were resumed a few days ago, after a suspension of about a year, haye already j roduced the effect anticipated. A great deal of interest in the Omaha grain market is shown, not only in this state but also in Towa, and grain dealers from other towns are in Omaha every day to attend the calls and learn about the condition of the local market. The sales are now equal to those of a year ago, but they would be far greater if it were not for the car famine, which seri- ously interferes with shipments. The dealers cannot calculate with any cer- tainty upon securing more than one-fifth of the number of cars which they may require on any grain day, and for this reason the sales are limited. No man will sell grain to be delivered upon a stated date unless he has reasonable as- surance of being able to deliver on time. There is not at present a very bright prospect of relief from the disadvantages which the car famine imposes upon the grain dealers of this city. It does not appear that the railvoad companies are making any special effort to remedy the evil, and as the spring advances the de- mand for car service will materially in- ase. The transportation of exhibits to the World's fair will considerably in- crease the freight business for some time to come, and the general movement of produce will be augmented during the spring months. It is unfortunate that the railroad companies have not made adequate preparation for the demands that are now made upon them for car THE SUGAR BEE1 INDUSTRY, There is a bill pending before,the Ne- braska legislature proposing a bounty from the state to tillers of the soil who shall produce sugar beets in this state, The object of thiscommendable measure is not to provide an easy means to get at the publie funds but on'the contravy to lend the moral support of this great commonwealth to every efforton the part of citizens to cultivate the sugar be It will also serve to give official notice to the producer that no more profitable crop ean be tilled. Experiments during the past few years have amply demon- strated the fitness of Nebraska soil and climate for beet culture. Results have overwhelmingly shown the to be a most profitable one and there have been manifold instanc where farmers have received for a single crop of sugar beets an amount of money double the value of the land on which they were grown. The logical result has greatly enhanced values of land and the opening up of a new industry which has been nothing less than marvelous, No man who has the the state at heart, and who that the prosperity of the means prosperity to the whole state, can offer any valid objection to the bill now pending in the legislature, A farmer may profitably grow wheat and eorn in Nebraska, but when he iearns that with less effort on his part a given number of acres will net him $3 in sugar beets to #1 in wheat it will not take him long to make the experiment. But it is true that a great majority of the farmers of crop interests of recognizes producer best boet cuiture. They ‘do not know that what has alroady bedty,dono in this di- rection in Nebraskw has attracted the attontion of sugar fitakbrs all over this country and Europe.
