More heat than light is being developed in the hearings on the Omaha municipal light bill before the legislative committee at Lincoln. In order to uderBtand the controversy it is necessary first to read Section 1 of House Roll 205, which is as fol low's: “Any metropolitan water district or metropolitan utilities district now operating an electric light plant in connection with a water works system is here by given paramount authority to enlarge and de velop said electric plant and extend its lines so as 1o supply electric energy for light and power pur poses and for public and private use throughout the limits of such metropolitan vAlter district or metropolitan utilities district; provided, and pro vided only, that the people shall vote bonds for such purpose.” The difference between this bill and the present law lies for one thing in the fact that the board of directors of the utilities district would be given power to submit a bond proposition to the voters j for the purpose of establishing a power plant, where as as things now stand the first move is either up to the city council or to an initiative action of the people themselves. It is possible that public owner ship might come more quickly by giving this addi tional power to the utilities board. It would also ; be made easier to vote the necessary bond issue, since under jthe proposed law a majority vote would be sufficient, while under the present law a three fifth* majority would be necessary. The question of whether a bare majority should be able to decide such a momentous question is variously answered. Those who oppose any change point out that the people of Omaha, through their city commissioners or through their own initiative petition can con- 1 struct a municipal light and power plant, purchase any existing privately owned light and power plant or acquire by condemnation proceedings any exist ing light and power plant. These objectors point out that under the terms now proposed there is no , provision for the purchase of the privately owned power plant, but only for the erection of s compet ing plant. The Nebraska Power company, which has a heavy investment here, has visions of being ruined by such competition, which might skim off the most profitable light and power contracts. If public ownership comes, it desires the city should buy its plant at a price to be set by three district judges. To this R. B. Howell, the retiring manager of the public utilities, replies that there are several million dollars in watered stoA in the capitaliza tion of the power company, and that this, with the alleged possession of a perpetual franchise, would make the cost of purchase almost prohibitive. He declares that the owners of the water and gas plant* obtained an excessive price from the city and that this course should not be repeated in the case of the electric plant. There in its essential details is the question at issue in the legislature. ,Neither under the old law nor the new bill can the city enter into the business of producing electric power without the approval of the people voiced in a vote for a bond issue. As long as the people of Omaha are convinced that they are receiving reasonably low rates from the private corporation, they will feel no great need Tor public operation. It is not to be believed that they desire to confiscate the property of the corporation or to be unfair in any way. The whole matter is one of a business nature, and the less politics is in jerted the better, all around. WHAT DO YOU THINK? A great many things are going on in the world today that deserve comment. Some of these, if brought to pass, will exert great influence on the progress of affairs—will affect the destiny not of nations alone, but of humanity. What do you think about them, all or any one? If you have an opinion to express, will it not be well to give it utterance. When the prohibitory amendment was passed, it went over on a great wave of enthusiasm, yet, when people caught their breath, thousands rose up and protested, but it was ioo late. If some of the discussion now being had were presented in 1917, maybe the amendment would not have been adopted. Postmortems are in teresting, but futile. Your views of European affairs, for example, may be helpful to others. At any rate, it will do no harm to give them to the public. So also with reference to what is passing in public life at home. Congress is considering some very important mew tires, the ship subsidy, rural credits, rivers and har bor* appropriation, all matters that concern the entire nation. Surely you are not indifferent as to them. In Nebraska the legislature is dealing with tax laws, achool laws, road laws, criminal laws, everything that has a hearing on the life of the state, form the top to the bottom. Are you willing to let these things pass with out giving your own thoughts expression, content to allow the laws to be made and then to criticise ihem after they are passed? What do you think about what is going on in the world. Clear the matter up in your own mind, < ome to a conclusion, and then tell the world. SNOBBERY AT THE YALE PROM. A tempest in a teapot is raging at Yale, because one of the students chose for his partner at the ‘•prom’’ a girl who is on the stage in New York. In behalf of the committee that was in charge of the function, it should be stated that when a New Haven newspaper published a statement that objection bad boen raised against the >oung woman’s attendance, it promptly sent her a special invitation to be present. Persons who are described as “mothers and social ly prominent women” at New Haven are quoted as raying that a principle is at stake, that the unwritten law that no actress should be invited to attend the “prom” was being violated. And why, pray, should not an actress be invited to a Yale dance? Many men have gone from Yule to the stage; girls have gone from Vansar, from Barnard, from Bryn Mawr, and from other schools Of high standing to the stage, and have started In the chorus or other lowly posi tion, to work up, just as they enter college ns a ■ freshman. WHERE TRUST MIGHT HAVE HELPED. A doctor is on trial for murder in Omaha; a young woman has been laid to rest, the victim of a forbidden operation, and a father’s cup of sorrow, nlready overflowing, has received a fuller measure, because two young persons erred. Was there not a way through which the effect of the mistake might not have been lessened, without resort to the danger incurred through adding crime to misfortune? Moralists have debated this subject for ages, and without definite conclusion. “When lovely woman stoops to folly, And finds too late that men betray. What charm can soothe her melancholy? What art can wash her guilt away?” Here was a plain case where a bewildered girl added one mistake to another, by failing to con fide in those she should have trusted. “Don’t tell j dad,” she whispered, when dying. Yet, would it \ not have been better if she had told dad at the first. Who is more likely to sympathize with a girl in trouble than her father? The stern, unrelent ing, “out of my house” sort of a father exists more frequently in story books than in real life. Most 1 fathers love their children, and would die to shield them. Knowledge of that very fact, coupled with love and respect, may make the child reluctant to tell dad all, but much of trouble can be avoided if j the trust is as frank as it is deserved. Dad has stood between his daughter and the j world on many an occasion, and will do it again. We pray to our Heavenly Father; is it not well for young folks to go to their earthly fathers when in trouble? Such trust is rarely misplaced. WHY A SHORTAGE OF LABOR ? A young man, working as a bell boy in a local hotel, wag arrested for violating the Volstead law. In defense he said: "We almost had to sell liquor. AVe only get a few dollars a month salary, and part of that U taken out to pay for our uniform*. But I'm through.” Another young man who was acquitted on a murder charge, he having shot and killed a man he believed vCas about to do him bodily harm, said he I was acting as a prohibition spy because he needed the money. The man who makes the vile bootleg liquor, and the men and women who vend it, do so to get the money. It is possible that the men who are en gaged in running these down and bringing them to face the law they have violated are actuated in some degree by a degire to get the money and not entirely by the laudable purpose of upholding the law. These individuals are looking for ‘‘easy money.” The cry sent up by industry for more workers goes unheeded, because the game of hide and seek be tween law breakers and law enforcers over illicit liquor offers the temptation of quick profits with little exertion. That is ever the lure to the crim inal The slow and arduous method of accumula tion by practicing industry and thrift does not ap peal to him. ile wants his money quick, and with as little effort as possible. Whatever of risk exists 1 is assumed blithely enough, on the remote chance of evading the penalty, his main thought being to , avoid work. Whatever of labor wag displaced by the closing up of distilleries and breweries is more than offset by ibe number of men who are engaged in the illicit trade or endeavoring to suppress it. Prohibition has thus brought with it an economic problem that is not readily solved. If some one could teach the young men who enter the bootlegging traffic that it is not a dis grace to work, that honest effort does have a re ward, and that crime does bring a penalty, much headway would be made toward solving any short age of labor, if the bootleggers would only turn to honest employment, jobs that are now go:ng va cant soon would be filled. Representatives of all the social welfare bureaus of the city have been invited to attend a conference next week to go over the detuils of the community chest proposals. All that the public can ask is that they consider th<> plan with the same unselfish spirit with which they perform their valuable functions in the city. No good cause will lose from co-ordinat ig its activities with the rest, and with full co-opera tion, the community chest could actually produce better support for charity than it is now receiving. “Red the Rough’’ will not be with us for the next two years, and he will do well to follow the advice given him by the judge who sentenced him to prison. If he behaves himself in prison, he may get into the habit, and be able to behave himself when he gets out. Wray, Colo., is the latest tow n to pay Omaha the ! (ompliment of copying the Ak-Sar Ben idea. Any i town is welcome to try it, and if it works as well ns it has for Omaha, it will do any of them good. Familiarity with the Scriptures saved a man in the federal court. If a little more general atten tion were paid to the Bible, fewer men w'ould be arraigned in any court. A visiting spiritualist from England tells u» there are no check books in heaven. That, will be slight deprivation. I.ots of people do not have them on earth Twelve thousand victims of automobiles were buried in 1922. This is too great a toll to pay to carlelessness.

Readers of The Morning Bee are Invited to use this column freely for expression on matten of public interest. • Ix>ve for (iood Ulrraturr. Fullerton, Neb.—To the Editor of The Omaha Bee; Art is to convey to one soul the feeling experienced by another soul. The artist finds him self thrilling with an Inspiration. This feeling clamors for expression. The one Inspired applies brush to canvas, how to string, or pen to paper, and the world is made richer by a mas terpiece. It is for women to decide whether our beloved motherland shall have lit erary artists to celebrate her great ness or shull fade into obscurity for want of an epitaph; for without a vis ion, people perisheth. Each mother must start at her own hearthstone. She must he able to recognize the be ginnings of genius in her own child and to cherish them. Is it not true that the general pub lic have been doing about all they could to kill evc'ry vestige of poetry in our country. Teachers turn the ballad, which should be an ecstacy, into a hated taHk. By the community at large the would-be poet is classed with weaklings and defectives. If a poet gets by a dead-hearted mother, a stony-hearted teacher, a cold hearted [ public, if he actually delies fata and liecomes a full-grown poet, then Amer ica proceeds to starve him by a dead ly lack of recognition and a blank re fusal of the means of subsistence. If we want the world to have the best in poetry we must do all that we can to create poetry loving mothers, poetry understanding teachers, and a [toetlcally sympathetic public. A. P H. To Ntreiigtlien llank (Guarantee. Ijawaon, Neb.—To the Editor of The < >maha Bee: As president of the Nebras ka. Bankers’ association and chairman of Its legislative committee, I have received numerous requests to set forth the present attitude of the state hankers of Nebraska with regard to the guaranty fund law, and also to discuss from the standpoint of state hankers the provisions of Senate Kile ]05 and the duplicate bill, House Roll 272. The grav'e importance of this matter, and particularly the necessity of there being no misunderstanding created in the mind of depositors in state hanks, and the public In general, leads me to comply with these re quests. Twice within the past 12 months, by unanimous vote, the state liankers of Nebraska have gone on record fa voring no change In the present guar anty law which will not In any wise diminish the rights of any depositors in any failed hank to collect im mediately the amount of Uis deposit. This, in spite of the fact that state liatiks have, within the past two years, been eorn|ieIied to pay Into the guaranty fund for each year sums ranging from 10 to 2." per cent of their capital stuck, making a total of approximately 18,000,000. These as sessments have taken not only the profits of state banks, but have eaten deeply into the surplus and capital stock To (late K.t hanks have failed, entailing total drafts on the guuranty fund of alsiut 18,000,000. It is ap parent, therefore, that some measure or measures, must lie taken to check or reduce the number of bunk fail ures In Nebraska, and corresponding ly lessen the loss to the going banks. The proposed bill does not. weaken or impair in any degree,the state con trol snd supervision of hunks. Its purpose Js to supplement the present ■ tale supervision by the creation of a. guuranty fund commission, consist tug of nine executive officers of state banks, selected by the banks them selves: due precaution being taken to make their selection truly representa tive of the b.inks of the state. The secretary of the banking department shall be a member of the commission and Its chairman. This commission may employ spe cial examiners who shall have power to examine state banks which, in the udgment of the commission require special audits. The commission also shall have access to the records of the flunking department relating to the • lamination of banks. The state retains every right of supervision which It now has. and It alone retains power to puss upon the applications for charter*, to issue or revoke II ■ i-nses for bank official* and to close i hank If such procedure shall be necessary. The commission may take nypr and administer existing receiverships, and may also supervise succeeding re celversblp* There should be no ob jection to this because the proceeds from the asset* in failed hanks are • ill returned to the guaranty fund In the hand* of the hanker*, and it must ho conceded that the going tv*nks should he given an opportunity to realize ah much as possible from this source. The commission may. under certain restrictions, with the ronaent and ap proval of the banking department, draw on the guaranty fund to pre vent a Rank f.iilure, Knr example. If n bank Is insolvent, part of the guar intv fond may he used to render the Rank solvent without the expense of a receivership. However. In such cases.

Sw>41 n tn and otiburrihad k»lnra ma this .Id day of I Vbruary, 192:1 W. H. QU1VF Y. (9mI) Notary Public ; provision Is made for safeguarding jlhis action by forcing needed change i in the management and control of the bank. One of the provisions of this act creates an orderly statutory procedure for the Issuance of receivers' certi ficates. The state bankers, through an organization of their own, have In the past year made it possible for receivers to borrow money on receiv ers’ certificates of approximately $2,500,000. It should be clearly un derstood that these receivers' certi ficates were Issued by the receivers on an order of the district court and against cash in the guaranty fund. The purpose was to relieve the stress on banks and enable depositors to be paid promptly. The section in the senate file permitting the investment of public funds in receivers' cer tificates is not essential and has been eliminated from the house bill. The state bankers of Nebraska be lieve that all of the provisions of this propos'd legislation are fair and equitable. This bill leaves the gen I era! control and supervision of state banks of Nebraska with the state, where it now is, and where it should be. The bill seeks to supplement the present law to the extent only of glv ; ing representatives of going banks an 1 | opportunity to assist in a more ef fective regulation of all banks, and , further, to assist in a better conserva- j [tion of the guaranty fund. Under the 1 | present law, all state banks are made partners to the extent of insuring de- j posits. As such they are made flnan Icially liable for all losses due to in- ! competency or dishonesty. .Since the koing banks iiave to pay the bills they should have some voice in de. termining fhe manner in which tile business of their partner banks is conducted. It is the opinion of the state bank ers in Nebraska that if this bill is en acted Into a law. it will be possible to stop further closing of hanks, with a tremendous saving to the guaranty fund. It will eliminate unnecewary j expense in conducting receivership*. From beginning to end. the law contains not a single line or letter which in any way abridges or changes the lights or security of depositors. There is no power hitherto enjoyed by the state bunking department which Js taken from it or weakened, and no prerogative invaded. The pro posed law gives promise of bringing to the banking fraternity better and more rigid examinations. It will toi ler sound hanking practices. Its sole purpose is the prevention of bank failures, the cone* rvation of i ’ ' ' ■ banks of prompt payment to all depositors. DAN 3 RILET.

To Make Marriage Sane. From !h» Nebraska City Frew. The hill which the General Federa tion of Women's Clubs shared Iti drafting, and which the association approves, "to prevent hasty and fool ish marriages and to make divorce more difficult,” has been Introduced in congress by Senator (tapper of Kansas, with a resolution proposing 4 constitutional amendment to vest authority for this legislation In con j gress. Marriage license would have to be 1 applied for and posted In a court two weeks in advance of the ceremony. The Intent, is, obviously, to give pro tective publicity. Applicants would have to tender health and mentality certificates. Hoys and girls under Ik years would have to obtain paren tal consent. Feebleminded persons, those closely related, and those of different races would be prohibited from Quarrying. Cause for divorce would l»e misconduct, physical or mental cruelty, abandonment or non support for one year, incurable in sanity, or commission of felony. No divorce would be effective for one year. It sounds platitudinous to say that the home, the family, is the bulwark of the nation, and the sanctity of the marriage bond is the security of the home, but it is a truth which all sin ( erely feel and only a very few deny. The contemplated law would not only standardize principles as to marriage and divorce for the whole nation, but it would compel a more thoughtful and respectful, a more serious and even a more patriotic viewpoint among young and old for the most solemn contract, one of affection, be tween two partners plighting troth and devotion to each other. More Hleep. From the Sioux F*llx Pree*. If you feel a reluctance toward getting up when the alarm sound* these dark morning* and are inclined to turn over and take another hour * sleep, it may )>e due to not allowing yourself more sleep in winter than you are accustomed to take in other seasons of the year. An English physician say* it has lieen established scientifically that one need* more sleep in winter and an hour i* about the right amount. The additional sleep represent* the light lost by the change in the season. He mentions that animals deprived of l.ght become drowsy. In a strong light sleep is lee* nece*sarv. He sug gests that the chemical ray* of the un exercise an effect on the h**iy in causing vital substance* to be stored which, in the absence of these rays, cannot be obtained except through the Instrumentality of sleep. Thus if you do not want to get up. hut think it’s nicer to lie in, your lied. ;t is not necessarily due to laziness. S'atn?• may be . foi furthei restoration of w •••! energa • That there is a scientific reason why one should sleep longer jr . t„ *uffit »nt to still the feeling that one should get up and gee to wrk Tic- retarded discovery of such a > . regret, may be. if one ha* often tumbled out the ..nr heitofore when one should have taken another nap Of couise one should pursue method* which ure conducive to In -Hit. esjie. lally if the treatment i* so pleasant anti easy of a cold, dark morning.

How ever. that is an individual matter. For those who can snooze an hour longer the thought may be comforting that it is wliat they really ought to do. \ Keal Heroine. From tb* Or*rlr> Citizen.

Goodyear Betters Its Best Tfcr New Qot>d'*eat Cv*d wuii rJu Br tried All»U rather Tread That wonderful tire, the Goodyear All Weather Tread Cord, is now made even bet ter by an important development in its tread. This new tread is semi-flat, instead of round; the rugged blocks of its design are buttressed at the base by rubber ribs; the design itself is beveled at the outer edges. Because of its broader ground contact it is a longer-wearing tread; the beveled feature reduces vibration and carcass strain as wear proceeds. Firmer, quieter, smoother running—as ef ficiently non-skid as ever—this new be\eled All-Weather Tread Cord is a real advance in tiremaking.
