DEMOS IN BAD FIX OVER FOOD RULING Legislature’s Failure to Appropriate Funds for Department Likely to Canse Shutdown. \ID TO GO INTO THE COURTS From a { Correspondent.)

Treasurer Hall has refused to follow the opinion of the attorney general that | the fire commission warrants may be pald by the state treasurer, and It is understood that after September 1 he will also refuse to pay warrants of the pure food department, on the ground that the legislature failed to make any specific appropriation giving the department the right to draw on the fees of the depart- ment pald over to the state treasurer, Auditor Will Not Pay. 8o far the state auditor has refused to pay warrants of the State Raflway commission because the attorney general has ruled that the commisioners are sit- are confronted with a set of state oficers who appear to adopt the ruling of the attorney general if it happens to please them and reject it if they do not like it.

LINCOLN, Aug. 28.-—(Special)—State Superintendont A, O. Thomas returned last night from his trip to the National Bducational assocfN!on in San Francisco more than ever convinced that a com- parison of the states through which he Dassed with Nebraska gives the Golden Rod state much the better of the ar- gument. “T never felt @ proud of Nebraska in all my Iife,” sald the superintendent of achools, “as when I left the barren west and came rolliing ints Nebraska | with {ts green flelds and prosperous looking farms.* Dr. Thomas was somewhat dlaap- pointed over The department In which he was most vitally interested, the rura) school seo- tion, held no meeting at all and there were only a dozen state superintendents Too much politics spoils the work of the assoclation, is the opinion of the doctor.

The occa~ the treasurer, is understood to have said he would not pay the food commission warrants. It had been hinted that the auditor pro- posed to hold up Brother Tom’'s warrants from the railway commission in order to force Brother George to pay the fire commission and food gommission war- rants, but according to Brother George the scheme has not panned out so far. ‘The brothers are pat on the proposition and the only move that ap- pears possible now is the issuance of a mandamus compelling the state treasurer to pay the warranta i Fear Treasurer s Righ One state officer sald this morning that ho was in favor of all state officers go- Ing in a body to the governor and asking him to go before the suprems court and ask for a ruling on the matter, but was a little afraid that maybe the supreme court might uphold the treasurer and then there would be trouble. The situation is a very interesting one ' from the fact that with the closing down of the pure food department of the state all of the work which has been done since its installation will have been for naught. The thousands of dollars, yes, | hundreds of thousands of dollars, which | have been spent to bring the department up te its present efficlency will have been thrown away, for there will be no in- spectors to carry on the work and ef- forts to keep up sanitary conditions will have to be stopped, with the result that Nebraska will become a_dumping ground | for impure food, harmful drugs, foul seed | and everything of that nature which the | department has cleaned up during the | last thres years. Harman Will Stop. | Whether the state treasurer has suffi- | clent grounds to refuse the payment of | warrants and thus bring on such a de- | plorable condition and whether the last legislature in its efforts to bring out an | economical condition in carrying on state | business, has tipped over the beans, is something which must be decided, but | how or when is the question. Next Wednesday the pure food department ! will close down unless assured that the | treasurer will allow Commissioner Har- | man to draw on the fees paid in by him | to the state. | Commissioner Harman has already noti- | fied the auditor that he desires his de- partment checked out by the state ac- | countant and his inspectors will turn in | their commissions on Tuesday. | 'FREMONT COUPLE MARRIED AT BLAIR!
