THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: WEDNESDAY, PRIL 16, 1902, ARCUE POLICE BOARD CASE Attorneys for Present Board Assest Oourt Has Already Settled the Question. IN STATE Present Administration Expends §00,- 000 Less Per Year Than F ints in Spite of High Pric for Provi BIG SAVING INSTITUTIONS e (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, April 15.—(Sp>cial.)—The ques- tion of whether or not the governor has authority to appoint a Board of Fire and Police Commasioners for the city of Omaha was again argued and submitted to the su- preme court this afternoon. The contest- ing attorneys consumed nearly the entire time of the afternoon session in their pres- entation of the case. C. C. Wright, the re- lator in the application for a writ of man- damus against the governor, appeared In bis own ‘behalf and wi sted in the ar- gument by Frank T. Ransom and Willlam F. Gurley. The governor was represented by Norris Brown, while on the same side of the controversy appeared Ed Smith as attorney for-a member of the vresent board. In legal terms the lssué argued this aft ernoon was one of res adjudicata, it be ng asserted by the attorneys for the governor that If the right of the chief executive to make the appointments was adjudicated in the Moores case, it must necessarily fol- low that the right of the respondent to make appointntents was Ilikewise adjudi- cated. “Is this court golng to play fast and lo: with this respondent?” the attornev for a member of the present board asked. “Is it going to say to Governor Poynter, you can- not appoint members of the Fire and Polica Commission for the city of Omaha and deny to his appointees the right to the offices in question, and then lssue a writ command- Ing Governor Savage, the respondent, to make such appolntments? Will this court issue its writ today, commanding this re- spondent to make appointments and tomor- row, when the order has been obeyed, deny to the appointees the right to the offices in question? If the judgment in the case of Moores was binding on the state and gov- (ernor in the subsequent action of the state ex rel against Keunedy, would it not be clearly binding upon any appointments this respondent might make?" Leads to Absurdity. Continuing, the argument was advanced that it would be the consummation of ab- €eurdity to deny the right of the governor's appointees to the office In question, as was denied to them in the Kennedy case, and now, on the application of the relator, com- pel the respondent to again do the act which in the Moores case the court deter- mined wae of no validity and conferred no rights 'to the persons to whom the commls- slons were issued. “But It Is argued that this court in a recent opinion in the Redell case has re- fused to follow the rule of law lald down in the Moores case,” added the attorneys. “Such 18 no doubt true, but that is mot equivalent to reversiug, vacating or mod- ifying the judgment in the Moores ca: Is it possible that by reversing a rule of law or refusing to follow a rule of law an- nounced In some prior decision that there- by rights which were settled In that litiea tion become unsettled? Volume Ix of the Nebraska reports contains six pages show- ing a table of overruled cases. Does the overruling of those cases have any effect Whatever upon the rights of persons set- tled by those cases which were subsequently overruled? There can be but one answer to such a proposition. The fact that the constitutionality of a statute wae in ques- tion does not alter the rule. The fact that the judgment in the cases of the State ex Trel agalnst Moores and State ex rel azainst Kennedy were entered In quo warranto pro- ceodings and the further fact that this is an application for a mandamus does not siter the rule.” In closing it was sald: “The court has "twice solemnly declared that the governor ©of this state has no right under the act ©of 1397 to appoint members of the Fire and Police Commission for the city of Omaha. To now issue the writ against this re- spondent to compel bim to make such ap- polntments Is to treat the former decisions of this court being withbut coherency or consistency and will convert this forum 1nto a theater of political strife. Saving In State Institutions, An examination of the records in the suditor's office shows that the state in- stitutions have been maintained under the republican administration at a cost of $90,. 778.00 less than the amount appropriated by the legislature for the first year of the blennium, I the second year presents the same re. sults the saving in the two years will amount to more than $180,000. In other ‘Words, at the close of the two years' term there will be a surplus in the funds of mearly $200,000, this estimate being based on the cost for the first year, ‘There is every reason for the bellef, how- ever, that the sum will be even larger than that. When the republican adminis- tration took charge nearly all.of the state institutions were jn a deplorable condition. New beds and bedding, furnishings and like material had to be purchased and considerable money had to be expended for immediate repairs. All this expense, as ‘well as bills amounting to several thou- #and dollare that were contracted by the fusioniats, are included in the first year, and yet there is a surplus of more than #90,000 in the first year's quota of the ap- propriations. The only expense required during the second year will be for food, clothing and salaries, so the cost the sec- ond year will likely be much less than the first. Governor Savage and the Board of Pub- lic Lands and Buildings are gratified over the showing made, for it is much better than was ever made by the fusionists and that, too, in the face of the fact that meat, bulter, eggs, potatoes and all provislons were much higher the last year than dur. ing the fusion administration, if not than ever befnre in the history of the state, When the fusionists went out of pow: the appropriations were all exhausted and they left to their successor approximately $140,000 iu unpaid bills, for the payment of which the legislature bad to make de- fAciency appropriation Appropriations and Expenditures.

Subsequent num- | bers will contain a chart of precipitation for the week ending Monday mornings and & summary of conditions for each ®ounty, as was done last year. August—The rainfall during August, 1901, was ‘slightly below the normal, but the ground was generally in good condition for seeding the last part of the month. September—The rainfall during Septem- ber was very heavy, more than twice the normal. This placed the ground in excel- lent condition for plowing and seeding. A large acreage of winter wheat was sown during the month. October—October was also a very favor- able month for plowing, seeding and the ermination and growth of fall sown grain. he temperature was high and the precipi- tation was siightly above own grain germinated quickly and made a strong, vigorous growth, Some early sown flelds ‘were pastured to prevent too rank a growth. Sowing winter wheat continued very late, some flelds belng sown near the end of the month A slight iner acreage sown to winter wheat oo generally In the southeastern countles, and a very large Increase in most of the oun- ties along the western and northern bor- ders of what has been called the winter wheat belt. November—The precipitation was below normal In most of the wheat belt. The temperature 'was high and wheat contin- ued to grow well throughout the month although In some places more rain would have been beneficial December—The weather for December 4'd not depart widely from that of an average month, but the precipitation was siigntly deficient in the southern counties, where winter wheat is sown. A sharp cold period occurred during the second decade. 'How- ever. nelther of these rather unfavorable conditions materially damaged the wheat Snow Helps Out. nuary—The first three weeks were very . With high temperatures, but no severe winds occurred to blow the soll badly dur- ing this period. A general snowstorm on the Zth was sufficlent to make the pre- cipitation for the month equal to the normal and to cover the ground nicely, excépt In a few places where there was enough wind to drift the snow. Generally, the snow remained quite evenly on the ground and protected the wheat well from the low temperatures which followed the last of January and the first part of Febru- ary February—The wheat flelds were gen- erally well covered with snow during the first twenty days of the month. The snow melted during the last ten days. and the round was free from snow at the end of he month, with the ground molst and wheat generally in good condition. Slight Damage to Wheat. March—The month was dry and ) with- several days of.very high winds, The temperature was above normal almost con- tinuously, except for the cold perfod fro the 16th to_the 18th, during which it was from 10 to 2 degrees below normal. These temperature conditions allowed spring work commence unusually ear Al&ou(h the rainfall of the month light. the soll had generally sufficient molsture to keep it in good condition for plowing and seeding. 1n the southern countles consider: able land was sown fo oats during the month, and a few potatoes planted. 1ng wheat was sown In western count es, e fry weather and high winds. were rather unfavorable for winter wheat, How- ever. the rains in the western portion of the winter wheat belt the month were very beneficlal wheat in_exceptiopally Some slight damake from ported from Custer, Dawson and Buffalo counties. In the southeastern portion of the state the wheat is still looking well generally, but the unfavorable weather itions of the month have damaged It somewhat. Progress of Spring Work. First Half of April—The ‘first haif of April has been cold, with leas t aormal par 1o the west of the state the rainfall has been but| silghtly below normal and the molsture has been sufficient for crop needs. In the castern part of the state the rainfall been very light and the deficiency for the two weeks generally exceeds an . inch, while the rainfall in the greater part of | the eastern portion of the state has been | less than a quarter of an Inch. The period | has been-an excellent one for the advance- | ment of spring work. The ground has sufficient molsture to be in good condition for plowing and eeeding. Oats are about all sown in the central and southern coun- ties. The early sown are up. micely in most places, but the dry, cold weather has been rather uafavorable, causing oats to come up slowly and In some places some- what unevenly. In the northern counties spring wheat seeding 1o wi oat sowing Is in progre Plowing for corn has commenced and in southern countles nsiderable progress has been made. very few in the south- erny counties have commenced planting corh. "Potato planting has progressed nicely 1 advanced and turage is Backward, Grass and fall sown grain have grown slowly. Pasturage is poor and backward for the season of the year. Winter wheat is in excellent condition In the western art of the state, where the moisture has een wufficient, with the exception of the | flelds damnaged by Insects. A specles of fut vorm has done considerable” dumage In some of the western countles. In the eastern counties wheat enerally looks well, although some flelds have béeen dam- lf!‘ y the unfavorable weather condi- tions of this spring. A few wheat fieids have been plowed up tn Nuckolls and Clay counties that the ground may be used for other crops. However, the damage to the | wheat crop in other districts is generally slight. G. A.
