LINCOLN, Oct. 8.—(Special)—That he could find no legal way to pay money to commissioners of the state, which had not been specifically appropriated by the legislature, was the declaration of State Treasurer George E. Hall, speaking at the East Lincoln league. He sald he believed it was a mistake for the legislature to appropriate money from the fees of a department, and then turn the head of the department loose to belp himself. His method of collecting monthly state funds from county treasurers, he, says, will save the state $70,000 annually. Addison E. Sheldon, director of the Nebraska Legislative Reference bureau, declared at the some meeting that unless the rate of Interest dropped agricultural lands would be depopulated, since indus- tries now offered a bigger inducement than the farm. The farms, he said, were now twice as large as five years ago. Big mortgage holders are getting the property through foreclosure from small owners. DR. CUTTER MADE DEAN TO SUCCEED DR.
