COMMITTEE ADOPTS
A GRADUATED TAX
Governor Gone (illmmering, in
Opinion of Poll! lelailN.
While the partisans of Sam MrKel
rey are reJolcinK because he will be
given the Republican nomination for
governor by default, now that H. B.
Howell In out of the race, still gloom
thick enough to cut with a knife has
settled down over the spirit of some
Republican politicians.
They recognized In Mr. Howell a
man of gubernatorial caliber, but
Rome of them have not yet admitted
any such recognition In the remain
ing candidate for the. Republican
nomination. In other words it is
practically conceded that the elimin
ation of Howell Insure the election of
the Democratic nominee for gover
nor. Unwell' Statement.
The following statement was given
out by Howell in announcing his
withdrawal:
"The order from the navy depart
ment last week calling me Into serv
ice was a complete surprise, as I had
given up all hope of being allowed to
participate in the war, it being more
than a year since I had tendered my
services and was commissioned a
lieutenant in the nnvy fleet reserve.
Upon receiving my orders I a'i once
put aside all thought of continuing
my campaign, realizing that the time
allowed me before reporting for duty
wnB all too short for closing up my
personal affairs and arranging for
the transfer to other hands of the
public business under my charge.
"Many of my friends have impor
tuned me to defer making any fur
ther announcement respecting my
candidacy for governor until after
the Republican state convention, so
as to give them an opporunity to
carefully survey the situation. How
ever, as I have definitely determined
not to be a candidate, I feel that In
Justice to them and to Republicans in
general thruout the state the matter
should no longer be left In doubt.
"While it Is true that there is no
legal pbstacle to my candidacy and
that the navy department would un
doubtedly grant a leave of absence to
a reserve officer elected to perform
uch important duties that falls to
the governor of a stnte, yet I am un
willing to divide my attention in this
emergency or place upon friends the
burden of a campaign In which I
would be unable to participate.
"I am not unmindful of the gen
erous offers of support that have
been tendered me In the canvas that
has so unexpectedly come -to a close,
and I wish to express my sincere
thanks to the friends who have done
so much for me, and who are so will
ing to go further in their efforts to
forward my cause. To all of them I
can only say that the great task be
fore us is to win this war, and that
there is no service or honor greater
than that which is Implied by the
navy department's expression, "our
services are needed."
"R. B. HOWELL."

That life la worth while to be brar.

HE KNEW HER
Court ssional ( 'onuiiittee Derides ou
levy f M to HO Per t ent on Net
Income lleyond Exemption.
Washington, D. C. The graduat
ed excess profits -iax of from .10 to 80
per cent on net income beyond ex
emptions and exemption of 12,000,
plus 10 per cent on the amount of
invested capital, were adopted by the
house ways and means committee
last week. Taxation of luxuries, esti
mated by the treasury as capable of
raising $2,000,000,000, will be con
sidered later.
Complaints of inequalities are ex
pected to be remedied by the com
mittee's action in repealing a section
of the present revenue law. The ef
fect will be that excess profits tax
under the pending bill will not apply
to individuals and partnerships. In
dividuals and partnerships will be
reached thru the normal and surtax
provisions of the income tax law.
The committee decided to retain
substantially the same text of "cap
ital invested" and other definitions
as are in the present law.
While not definitely deciding the
matter, a majority of the committee
was favorale to a provision that in
no case should the excess profits tax
exceed 60 per cent of the net income,
nor be less than 10 per cent of the
net Income in the case of corpora
tions with a capital exceeding $200,
000. Several members of the committee
were disposed to favor a flat tax of
80 per cent, but the committee re
jected the proposal as discouraging
to Initiative.
The committee disregarded pre
war comparisons for taxation.
There is still a discrepancy of al
most $2,000,000,000 between the
revenue estimated to be yielded by
the excess profits and income taxes,
as proposed, and the $6,000,000,000
sought from those sources under the
$8,000,000,000 revenue program.

A campaign in the interests of a
arger and better exhibit of frain
roducts at the Nebraska state fair is
elng conducted thruout the state,
ays a bulletin of the Nebraska state
I oard of agriculture, and it is believ
I d that the result will be the finest
gricultural exhibit ever shown at
I ny fair.
The farm products exhibit at the
Nebraska state fair has hand few
equals among other state fairs and Is
one of Nebraska's strongest exhibits.
The campaign for an even bigger ex
sthlbit is being conducted .as a means
of stimulating food production. A
fine exhibit will be the means of in
teresting more people in food produc
tion is well as affording farmers a
valuable object lesson in the study of
varieties of products. No less essen
tial is the enlhusiasm that is aroused
! thru seeing the prize winning pro
ducts that stand as the standard of
perfecting.
I Know the Voice

I have to see or read for the first time the works of any noted
writer of the middle ages, anything that pertains to Dentistry. There
could not have been the demand upon them then as in being made

NECESSITY WAS THE MOTHER OF INVENTION
For twenty years every hour of every day, I have heard some
one say, "Why does not some one invent something to relieve pain In
a safe and easy manner?" The cry for this great necessity has dwelt
on my mind so long, that I finally solved the problem and have put
it into use. Through Sturgis & Sturgis, Attorneys, I filed for a patent
on this most wonderful method to relieve pain.
I KNOW THE VOICE OF THE SUFFERER; I ALSO KNOW HOW
TO ANSWER
in a manner that should immensely please. It's here for you to take
advantage of. I will gladly show you.
