TAXATION LYING.
Let the public be warned that a last desperste
((fort la being made to confuae the tax aituation in
Nebraaks. The democratic atate central committee
ia sponsoring falae figures that purport to ahow that
atate taxea conatitute one-half or more of the total
tai collections. Thia ia done by combining the atate
tax and tha county tax and presenting the total aa
going entirely to the atate. The unfortunate fact
that atate and county taxca are consolidated on the
tax receipta, Instead of being aeparated and itemised.
haa been eeized on with intent to deceive.
One of the flagrant misrepresentations that ia
uaed by Charles W. Ilryan in hia campaign talka and
which waa printed in an editorial in the World-Her
ald, cotM-erna the taxea of Take L. Jergensen, a
farmer of Merrick courtly. The democratic propa
ganda makes the following claim:
"On hia qunrter auction farm lila total taxes In
crea! from 176.17 to I3O0.S2, and the atitt taxea
Jmluil'il In thla aniuunt Inrreuaed (mm $44.43 to
1102 90. When Mr. JiTKinmn atudlee Mi receipt,
and fliida thut In 1921 more than liulf of all the taxea
he ' lil waa alworbed by the atate government at
Lincoln, he wondcre whore AkKidvIe, Knndull, tow
rll t Co. get thnt tulk nbotft the atate taking only
J per cent."
Thia if downright falsehood. At the time, the
democratic agent waa obtaining the tax figures, he
was told by the county treasurer that the $102.00
included both county and atate levies. The books
in the county court house at Central City show the
atate tax on Mr. Jergenacn'a farm in 1921 to have
amounted to $56 60. The democratic envoy, however,
added to this the county tax of $45.40, thus obtaining
a total of $102.
It is a fact incapable of diaproof that out of each
dollar collected as taxea the atate government of
Nebraska receives only 19 cents. There are indeed
some individual and local cases where the state's levy
is larger end, according to the law of averages,
there are just as many instancea in which the state
receives only 14, 17 or 18 centa out of the tax dollar.

Nebraska for the, various division of government

SUGAR FOR THE SORORITIES.
The first bag of Nebraska sugar made in the 1922
campaign haa been sent to Lincoln, where it will be
transformed into fudge, pinoche, and other dainty
forma by the sorority girl who are beneflciariea
of the donation. Something peculiarly appropiate
is seen in this, for if there ia anything sweeter than
a Nebraska school girl it is two, and it ia cstab.
liihed beyond doubt that those who reach the un.
vorsity and "make" a sorority have had full Initia
tion in that course of rookery which has to do with
fudge and the like. And, aa long' aa the girla are
going to make fudge, and no career of higher edu
cation these day ia complete without it, they ahould
use Nebraaka sugar.
Time waa, bark in the dark agea, when draught
t the fountain of knowledge were unflavored by
sugar or anything of the sort. Student frequently
went without food, and the comfort of a fire wa an
almost unknown luxury. We do thing much better
nowadays, and while the mind I trained in all the
subtleties of advanced learning, the body is austalnad
and the aoul cheered by creature comfort of which
the item of fudge I far from being a negligible ele
ment. The gift of the aack of lugar to the aororlty
wa well bestowed.

DISCOURAGING TO BANDITS.
A bard working, capable bank robber stands very
littlo ahow of getting ahead in bis business at Eureka
Springs, Ark. Citizen there seem to be prejudiced
on the point, and manifest their disapproval after a
fashion and by such means as really are discouraging
to the bandit.. Somehow their conduct reminds one
of the reception accorded the Dalton boy and their
comrade at Coffeyvllle, Kan., some thirty year ago,
only the Eureka Springs score is a trifle higher.
At Coffeyvllle only two were killed outright, and
these both fell (o the shooting of a livery stable
keeper. At the affair in the Arkansas town two were
killed, one wounded so that he died and two others
wounded so they could not get away, making the
bag complete. A jeweler and a lawyer accounted
for the dead, showing the advantages of education
in such cases, the trained mind behind the trigger
finger being most effective. If it is in order to pre
sent a medal of some kind, such as the distinguished
service order, to these men, we move that such a
course be followed.
At any rate, the citizen of that little community
did a good job and aet an example that might be
emulated with benefit in other and larger places. It
would not take a great many episodes of the sort to
terminate the flourishing industry of bank robbery.

Now
Reform In Taxation.
From th at. Loul Oroba-Detnoerat.
The conatllutlonal convention of
Illinois, which completed Ita labora
not long ago, after more than a year
of deliberation, haa' lusued on ad
dres to the votera of tha atate.-who
will pass upon, lta work at an election
to be held In December, There are
many feature of the constitution
proposed by thla body that ahould
be of Interest to Mixsourl, whoae
representative are now engaged in
a similar task, but it conrluaiona on
the important and difficult problem
of taxation, to which it evidently
!?nve much careful study, should be
of value.
The aueatlon of the seDaration of
the tangible from the intangible ob
jects of taxation, with different rates
and methods of assessment for each,.
, Total .....158,073,601.68
These figures are accurate. They have never
been disputed directly. Those who are carrying on
the campaign of deception carefully avoid discuss
ing them and rely entirely on innuendo and fiction.
Their hand now is gradually being forced by in
formed public opinion. They have been 'driven to
admit that perhaps the state only gets 19 cents out
of the tax dollar In cities, but that it takes more
than thia from the farmer.
'
Let us test out this dodge In the great agricul
tural county of Buffalo. Official statistic show that
the state receives only 19 cents out of each tax dol
lar there. That is 1 per cent less than the average
for the state. In another county almost purely rural,
Ximball county, the state receives its 19 cents, while
the county receives 28 cents and the school districts
take 43 cents. In Madison county the state tax is
only 17 cents out each dollar of taxes. In Keha
Faya county the state gets 20 cents; the county, 37
cents, and the schools 41 cents.
Designed as a political trick to antagonize vot
era against the republican state administration, this
corresponds with the idea that anything is justified
if it wins votes. There is, however, something more
than partisan considerations to be taken into ac
count. Taxes have been high in Nebraska state, county,
school, townhip and city. The special session of the
legislature reduced state taxes by one-third. It is
up to the local subdivisions to match this cut, or
better it wherever possible. Local taxes, which con
sume 81 cents out of every tax dollar, will not be re
duced unless public attention is centered on the mat
ter. To allow democratic politicians or local officials
to hide the local tax issue and point to the state
treasury as responsible for the leak in the taxpayers'
pocketbook is not only to be tricked, but to prevent
the reduction of taxes at home the very place where
most can be done and least has been done.
WHAT OMAHA MAKES.
Whatever helps your neighbor helps you. Cities
are built on the prosperity of their citizens. x
For these reasons Omaha is interested in the an
nouncement that another "Made-in-Oroaha" show
is about to be staged. It will be a course of inten
sive training for a lot of citizens. A great many who
were out last season will recollect what they saw
then, and will' go back to see it alf over, while many
who did not attend may find time to do so now.
Somehow, an idea prevails that Omaha is not
much of a manufacturing town. People think of Jhe
great packing houses, the butter-making plants, our
huge cracker bakeries, and one or two similar food-
producing concerns, and let it go at that. As to the
existence of anything like an industrial center here,
most folks are astonished when they get the figures.
As a matter of fact, the output of Omaha factories
runs into the hundreds of millions each year; not
only is food turned out, ready to go on the table,
but clothing, machinery, chemical compounds, paints,
furniture, and a long list of other useful and. con
venient articles are made in Omaha factories. ,
Moreover, these articles find ready sale and have
a high standing where they are sold. Many of them
are well known at home, but others have not as yet
been extensively pushed in the city where they are
produced. The point of interest is that a manufac
turing interest is growing up in Omaha, developing
each year in importance, and slowly but surely giv
ing stability to the underlying support of every suc
cessful center of population, that of the payroll,
which makes local business good.
The "Made-in-Omaha" show should have its full
share of public attention when its doors open in No
vember.
KEMAL AND CONSTANTINOPLE.
Mustapha Kemal Tasha, victorious leader of the
Turk nationalists, supports his demands in connec
tion with Constantinople on logical reasoning. He
claims th city because it is the capital of his coun
try; he submits that the security of the capital dt-,
penda on th security of the Dardanelles, the Sea
of Marmora and tha Bosphorua. Thus the keeping
of the atraita ahould be in Turkiah control.
What Kemal avoids in presenting his caie ia the
fact that the Turk la not nor ha ever been a trust
worthy member of the family of nation. During
the cuturi he has held thla important portion en
th map, sitting at the gateway between Kurope and
Asia, he has been a menace al all time. Hut hit

AUTOMOBILE -CLUB ACTIVITIES.
Omaha' Automobile club is conducting a drive
for additional membership. Its appeal can not be
made to the public, although the public is greatly
concerned in what it does through ita various commit
tees. Unofficial and svithout authority, other than
that which goes with good citizenship, the Omaha
Automobile club has exerted considerable determin
ing influence for'good over the city's street and the
county's highways. Road building haa been watched,
and the club has taken part in the proceedings all
the way along the line, from Inception to the final
approval of the finished job, and many thousand of
dollars have been saved the tax payer because of
this vigilance. The club aUo haa labored in many
other ways to improve not only the thoroughfares of
the community, but the ue of them. It ha aited

number of years. This separation
haa been advocated by many of the
wisest atudents of the taxation prob
lem, but It haa been strongly op
posed by the majority of people who
see In it a violation of the principle
of equality In taxation. In prin
clple the objection is sound. In
practice the principle defeats Itself.
For experience haa proved continu
ously that under the present nystem
equality cannot be preserved under
any law or any rorm or activity of
administration. The effort to main
tain equality as between tangible
and Intangible rroperty haa . never
failed to compel Inequality. The
theory of equality is that all forme
of property shall he taxed at tne
same rate. Tangible property land.
houses, agricultural machinery, cat
tie, household furniture and all such
objects as cannot be readily con
cealed cannot easily evade taxa
tion if the aesessora perform their
duty, and equality aa to taxatiin of
all of these forms of property may
be fairly maintained
But tangible property, property
such as money, bonds, notes,, mort
gages and Jewels, usually escapes
taxation, wholly or In part, because
it may be concealed and Its posses
sion denied. Comparatively little of
this class of property is taxed. All
taxation Is accepted as a necessary
infliction. Few there are wno pay
a tax bill, however Just, with pleas
ure, and th temptation to evade
taxation when it is possiDie, ana
particularly so when It ia consid
ered unjust, la one to which most
men, however scrupulous otherwise,
will ruidlly yield. Tnereiore prop
erty that the assessor cannot die
cover is seldom reported for taxation,
or, if reported, It ia usually at a
fraction of its real value. There
are. indeed, many rorma or sucn
nroDertv whose value would be de
stroved if the holder were compelled
to Dav taxes upon tnem at tne iuu
rate charged to 'other property. A
share of stork, for example, paying
tier cent dividends, if assessed at
its face or market value, would com
pel the payment of taxes mat woum
take ao large a share of the divi
dends aa to deprive it of value aa an
Investment. And aa most of such
forms of property depend for their
value unon the Interest or proflta
derived from them, taxation at tn
same rate as other property amount
often tn a virtual confiscation or
anrh returns. Moreover, these are.

From tha Chicago Journal:
Rembrandt's "Descent From the

finest work of that marvelous painter,
has come to the famous Widener col

Widener now has at his residence in
North Philadelphia the largest col

All these great collections go to the
