Nebraska is beginning an investiga

are going at it systematically. Organ
isers from the state headquarters and
committee from each county where
ther is a farm bureau will co-operate
ia making in each county a thorough
investigation of taxes and public ex
penditures. These figures will be com
bined in a report that will not only
furnish great light on the problem of
, burdensome state taxation, but should
also result in getting at the evil at
its source.
It's surprising what can be dons in
the way of reducing taxes and cutting
at wasteful public expenditures whero
the citizens and taxpayers get down to
cases. In Hamilton county there is
the world upon their bleeding hearts.
A good many of us have not been sat
isfied with the world, even if we have
not set out to remold it in accordance
with our heart's desire.
And so the laymen missionaries have
discovered a cure for these conditions
a cure that deserves to rank with
Henry Ford's peace snip and other
idealistic plans to end the war. The
parallel will stand Henry Ford knew
that war was a brutal tb'ri,' that
should be ended, and so he equipped a
ship and called to the colors all the
pacifists he could find. There was no
definite program. Perhaps Henry
thought as- did an eminent English
pacifist who sought to end the war by
having fifty thousand women, d re wed
in white, appear on the battlefield
during hostilities that the mere sight

American taxpayers are peculiar.
Thty like to grumble at high taxes,
but they have only the vaguest idea of
the courses for that which hits them
in their pocketbooka. The ordinary
man will orate over the immense sums
of money that are wasted by the na-1
tional government. The thought of
billions for a soldier bonus will cause
some people to froth at the mouth.
.The money spent for Btate aid roads
seem to be outrageously large as com-
pared with the cost of road building
by the counties. But while these
wastes are large in the aggregate,1
they do not hit any one of us so hard
as careless methods in use in county
government or city government, which
is much hearer home.
The city of Alliance has adopted the
city manager plan, and has a respon
sible head for its government a man
who is directly to blame if there are
wasteful methods and careless systems
in use. The results have been atoun 1-
ing. There is little question but that'
the salary of the city manager has
been saved many times over. The
county has not one responsible head,
but half a dozen. All of them are!

Some of these days there will be a
county manager system in use in Ne
baska, as it is found in other states
which have realized the advantages of
the plan. Until that time, especially
in these days of burdensone taxes,
there is need for more system in coun
ty affairs. There has always been too
little responsibility and accountability,

Those who have ever investigateU
spirtualism will find that there are
some things that are not to be laughed
off or explained. Thousands of intel
lectual people have believed in
spiritualism and in the possibility of
communicating with the dead. Mil
lions of people in the world have be
lieved in immortality and even those
who have not believed have universally
hoped for it. Some churches forbid
their members from dabbling with
spiritualism; others believe it demon
ism and the black art. But any man
or woman who has investigated has
found much trickery, much fake and
some things that have made him mar
vel. SDiritualism has not been taken
seriously, largely because of the class (
of people who have been connected,
with it. The mediums are, for the
most part, charlatans. The most emi-1
nent mediums have been discovered
faking messages. The explanation is
always that it is so great a strain on(
the medium that she is compelled at
times to resort to trickery in order to
save herself. Considering the char
acter of the mediums and the charac
ter of the messages from the dead that(
have been received, it is small wonder ,
that the world looks upon the whole
tribe as cheap grafters.
But during tye last few years, es
pecially on the continent, there has
been an effort to discover facts. The
American and English societies .for
physical research have contained some
of the best minds in the country.
Many of them believe. There has been

CHIROPRACTIC
FOR "FLU"
SOME MORE FACTS AND FIGURES
At a meeting of the Southwest Iowa Chiropractors Association held
at the Council Bluffs Chamber of Commerce, December 8, 1918, statistics
gathered from Chiropractors from the nine counties represented by that
association, showed that of 353 so-called "flu" cases adjusted by its
various members, only one case developed pneumonia.
No deaths were reported from pneumonia. No
deaths were reported from the so-caleld "flu."
Of 185 cases taken for the prevention of the so
called "flu," only 1 case contracted the disease.
Dr. Storey, pioneer Chiropractor of Los Angeles, Cal., did not have a
single death out of 363 so-called flu cases adjusted in 1918.
