MR. DUNN PUTS THE GOVER
NOR "ON THE RUN."
(From the Lincoln Star.)
Nebraska's Volunteer savior, Bal
lard Dunn, the editor of the Omaha
J Bee, announces that those who would
defame the fair name oC the state and
injure its financial standing are "on
the run."
Of course Mr. Dunn is too modest
to mention who put them to flight. !
Nevertheless The Bee has been run
ning a series of articles upon state
finance, written by Mr. Dunn himself,
and carrying his name in bold, black
type. And, unless the reader is too
obtuse, one by persuing Mr. Dunn's
latest contribution to the cause might
have grounds for a sneaking idea the
Omaha editor feels he could put his
finger on the "fellar," who put the
enemy to rout.
There hasn't been anything more
amusing in recent years than Mr.
Dunn's discussion of state finances.
Some day when his burst of "right
eous" indignation abates, he'll get a
hearty laugh out of them himself. He
should, be excused for his gross ignor
ance of the state's financial system at
this time when it is recalled he was
absent from Nebraska for several
'ears and onlr returned two years ago
when he turned charge of the editor-
ial reins of The Bee.
"' Mr. Dunn's wrath was aroused by
tna discussions or tne overarait in me
state's general fund. Notwithstand-
ing the report of Treasurer Robinson,
i and the campaign speeches of Gover-
nor McMullen, both members of the
republican party and supported
by
The Bee, Mr
Dunn persists in deny-
; ing the existence of an overdraft. His
confusion arises from the fact that he
has failled to recognize certain por-
tions of the tax funds are set aside
for specific purposes. These special
accountfl are the only ones which now
have Daiances. The general fund
drawn upon to meet the ordinary run-
Tiing expenses of the state government
is "in the red." To keep from regis
tering state warrants. Treasurer Rob
inson has been "borrowing" from the
special accounts, and has already
drawn out more tban 52,000,000, as
he is permitted to do under the state
law. That money will have to be re
paid to the special accounts, and
that sum represents the major portion
or the present overarait. me state
has been steadily falling behind in
the' last year. But if from now on.
j the tax revenues were sufficient to
keep pace with monthly expenditures.
there would still be a deficit of more
than $2,000,000, the sum which must
be repaid to those special accounts,
Simple enough isn't it?
It is to most people, including Gov-
ernor McMullen. who has the support
or The Bee In his candidacy for eov-
ernor.
The governor, notwithstand-
ing Mr. Dunn, has repeatedly spoken
1 of the overdraft, blaming Mr. Bryan
QT it
Of whom, then, is Mr. Dunn speak
ing, when he talks of political har-
! pies, and liars and falsifiers and de
tainers?
Let him tell his own story in his
own way in the followine extract
ken from nis arUcle ,n Tfae Bee.
The defamers of Nebraska are
on the run. They laid their plot
in the belief that no one would
find them -out the details of
bookkeeping: are always com-
j plicated, and they figured they
would be able to mislead the
people and thus get away with
what they are after.
Note what has happened since
The Omaha Bee exposed this plot
to grab off control of the state
by dragging the credit of Ne
braska in the mire and deliber
ately falsifying the records of the
, treasurer's office.
The exposure brought into
open the fact that when these
political harpies charged that
the state treasury of Nebraska
was "short that there was a
deficit in state funds, they de
liberately lied.
Caught In this lie they switch
ed from the words "short" and
"deficit" and charged that the
state treasurer had gutted the
funds of the state.
Mr. Dunn appearently has not been
keeping pace with the political
speeches of his candidate for gover-
! nor. His attention is therefore di-'
rected to an extract from a speech de-'
livered by Mr. McMullen at Aurora'
last Monday as reported in the press
by the governor's representative, ac
companying him on the tour. The
governor was discussing his oppon
ent's claims, and spoke as follows:
Well, no state taxes were ever
wiped out by Mr. Bryan. All he
ever wiped out was the available
money in the general fund, leav
ing a shortage, according to the
records of the treasurer's office,
as shown by the state accountant
of $2,500,000, with no provision
for putting It back. And when it
comes to leaving surpluses, the
only surplus which Mr. Bryan
handed down to my administra
tion was a surplus of unpaid bills
of over 11,000,000.
What do you mean political har
pies, Mr. Dunn?
What do you mean political lies
and falsehoods?
Ever since the campaign opened,
Governor McMullen has been talking

about the treasury overdraft in the
language employed above in the at

Governor Bryan.
But political harpies lies false-
hoods!
That's no nice way to talk about
one's candidate for governor, Mr.
Dunn.
Whisperin' Smith has popularized a
song, one line of which is very ap
plicable to the governor and hia vol

"You and I should get together."

PAINT BRUSH HANDLES AND
BOB WHITES
The duty on paint brush handles
has just been reduced one-half by Mr.
Coolidge under the powers granted
him by the flexible provisions of the
traiff law, which permits him to lower
or increase tariff rates.
It is the second time Mr. Coolidge
has used these powers to lower tariff
rates. The first time '"he did so the
commodity affected was live bob white
quail.
Paint brush handles and bob white
quail represent his only departures
from a protectionism which believes
in changing a tariff rate only to in
crease it. We hope the quail and
brush handle "interests" will not con
sider these major heresies.

Ax hospital is as necessary and im

A man or woman in Plattsmouth

A hospital here would increase the
business for our splendid local doc

than to bump a very sick patient 20
or 30 miles to a hospital in a car,
ambulance or Ford! That is pure
Simon-pure-leaf lard logic! If you
neded a check cashed in a hurry in
an emergency case, how'd you like to
have to drive to Lincoln or Omaha?
"However." says the Seattle Times,
"the styles would indicate that it's
woman, and not man, who wants but
little here below."
There is plenty of money in Platts
