LINCOLN, May 8.—(Speclal)—The State Board of Equalization continued its delib- erations today, but the only progress made, #0 far as can be ascertained from the members, was the reference of the Omaha Bridge & Terminal property for assessment by the Douglas county authorities.

ASSESSORS MUST COLLECT STATISTICS Supreme Court Holds that the Law is Valld and Work Mast Even If No Provision for Payment is Made, Be Done (From a Staff Correspondent) LINCOLN, May 8.—(Special)—Willlam B. Price of this city, lawyer, prominent fusion worker, part owner of an ofl claim in Texas and formerly a clerk in the audi- tor's office under John F. Cornell, has been appointed by Governor Savage to suc- ceed J. Sterling Morton as member of the Nebraska commission for the Louisiana Purchase exposition. The position carries with it no compensation. Mr. Price this afternoon received his commission, which is gorgeously adorned with colored ribbons and great seals, and s now a full-fledged commissioner, entitled to all the rights and privileges of the other members. Mr. Price was one of the leading men in the free silver republican party, and while still a member of that organization began an active campaign for the fusion nomination for state auditor. When the party disbanded Price sought refuge with the democrats and has since been allied with that party. Assessors Must Collect Statisticos. The supreme court this afternoon gave & decision sustalning the law which requires county assessors to gather information for the State Bureau of Labor and Industrial Statistics. The act was attacked on two grounds, one allegation being that it was unconstitutional, because it imposed addi- tional duties on the assessors without pro- viding for additional compensation, and the other being that there were errors in the title of the bill. The suit was in the nature of mandamus proceedings, directed against Lawrence Eekew of Lancaster county, an assessor, to compel him to comply with the law. The opinion was written by Judge Hastings, who sald “It is no objection to the 'valldity of & statute imposing an additional duty on assessors that no special provision for their compensation is made. “The act of 1887, imposing the duties of labor commissioner on the governor of the | state ana providing for the appointment of a special deputy to assist in discharging them, is not in violation of section 26, article v of the state constitution. “The amendatory act of 1897 to sections 2066 and 2068 of Cobbey's consolidated statutes, requiring assessors ‘lo procure cer- tain labor statistics, is germane to the pro- visions of the original act and to the re- quirement of the original section.” According to this decision of the court, it will be necessary for the assessors through- out the state to gather statistical informa~ tion regarding agriculture, labor and In- dustry in general. The county may employ additional men to do the extra work, but the work In some way must be done. Other Opinions Recorded.

Appeal the Porter Case. The case wherein the state sought to re- cover from former Secretary of State Por. ter the money he appropriated to his own use as fees, recelved by virtue of his mem- bership in the Brand and Marks comm's- slon, will be appealed to the supreme court. Deputy Attorney General Norris Brown ls at work on the petition in error to be filed in this case and hopes to have it completed In time to file tomorrow. In the lower court Mr. Porter scored a victory, on much the same grounds as daid Mn Meserve in the embezzlement case in the district court of Douglas county. Shorn of its legal phraseology and reduced to its real meaning the holding of the court in the case was that Mr. Porter had no right to take the money, but having taken it had a right to keep it, even though claimed by th ate. The fees taken by Mr. Porter amounted to about $1,000. He did not deny having ac- cepted the money, but declared that he had a right to it, and meant to keep it. Filling Places at Milford Home.
