Arthur Brisbane's masterly com ments on the problems of today will leceive a warm reception when they appear in The Omaha Bee beginning Tuesday evening and Wednesday morning. For although the famous editorial writer’s works have never before ap peared in any Omaha paper, his fame has preceded him. Several Onaahans volunteered the information, on learn ing that The Omaha Bee has obtained Brisbane's works, that they have been buying out-of-town papers car rying his editorials, solely for the purpose of reading the “Today" column. So versatile is Sir. Brisbane that las appeal seems almost universal. I .lawyers, doctors, merchants—Indeed those of every walk of life, find a stimulant in his sparking comments; his brief, refreshing style of writing. Highest Paid Editorial i Witer. Mr. Brisbane is know as “the W highest paid editorial writer in the world." His editorials are the only ones which are telegraphed, and print * d simultaneously on the front pages ..f many of the country’s largest newspapers. Here are a few of the comments of Omahans to whom his works are known: George Brandeis of the Brandeis store; “I was much delighted when T read that Arthur Brisbane's editorials are to appear in The Omaha Bee. Mr. Brisbane is a marvelous writer, and I get the keenest enjoyment from read ing his editorials.'’ District Judge Charles Leslie; “I believe Mr. Brisbane ranks as one of the really groat editorial writers of his time. The readers of The Omaha Bee are to be congratulated on the op portunity afforded them to rend the .products of a man who has attained such fame In his chosen field. 1 ex pect to enjoy his editorials greatly.” Calls It Education. County Judge Bryce Crawford: "I certainly congratulate The Omaha Bee li it-: enterprise, in obtaining the edi torials of Arthur Brisbane. I'll cn iny them, amj I'm sure it will be an education, and a pleasant one. for the ■ oinmunity to have them published here.'* John M. Gibb, president of Ceu •. al Labor unlove "T Have heard of Arthur Brisbane, and I’ll Certainly look forward to reading his edi loiials." Rev, T, H. Jenks, pastor of the Virst Presbyterian church: "I have i"ad Brisbane from time to time, and J 'll lie much Interested to read him Mg: rain whert he begins to appear in The Omaha Eee." Perfect Construction. H. 11. haldrige. attorney: ■ 1 be i ead Mr. Brisbane's editorials in both 1 lie Washington and Chicago papers, ".'hey are not only remarkably in teresting. but also instructive. They nre written so that the readers can set the pith of the thought advanced i:i a very short time, and their con struction from an editorial standpoint s"ems to me almost perfect. J. A. Lochrny. editor of The Mid West Labor News: "I shall look for ward with much interest to reading Mr. Brisbane's ed.torinl*. and I con - atulate The Omaha Bee on its en terprise In acquiring the work of such n noted writer." Women's division of (he Chamber of i omrneice: "I have heal’d so much ..liout Mr. Brisbane's editorials that 1 am convinced 1 11 enjoy’ them greatly. I II look forward eagerly to seeing them in The Bee.' Knows His \bility. Mayor James Dahlman: "I know of Arthur Brisbane's ability as a writer and will await with Interest tjre be t nning of his daily column in The Jtrc. I believe It will be a feature Cat will win general approval. Miss Belle Ryan, assislant super intendent of schools: “I know of Mr. Brisbane and I consider his works of real merit. I believe the press is the greatest influence for either good or bad. and I am glad to see any move u«hich tends to give the people better ’things through thk press." T. L. Davis, vice president of the First National hank: T in glad yon i re going to get the Rrisbane editori als. Omaha Is certainly big enough f >r such an important newspaper. I will look forward to reading them as they appear.” Knows Arthur Brisbane. Rev. Paul Calhoun, pastor of the . »ntr«l I'nited Presbyterian church: ■•[ know Arthur Brisbane, and I'm sure 111 enjoy this opportunity of i "ailing his editorials, The reaction* nf sueh a man as Brisbane to current • ■ -ont* are of much interest, even i hough one may not alw ays agree th him." , .1. David Ramon, commissioner of 11»> Omaha Chamber of Commerce. ' Brisbane's editorials are nf»t only fnod. but they are to the point Miss R. Bellman, secretary of the Ktirl Casey, superintendent of the i-mahH Refining corporation: “I'm d" lighted to hear that The Omaha Bee is going to run Mr. Brisbane s edi lorials. When I came here from Chi i 'go last September 1 w-a* disap pointed to find that no Omaha paper ■ is running them. It Inis forced nr." .1 three other rnen who came from 11 hic.'igo (o buy not only the Omaha pipers but a Chicago paper, too, sc. vc could read Brisbane. I'm sure 1 o-i o roust lie many other Brisbane :.ms in Omaha, and that there will be thousands more when his editorials begin In The Omaha Bee.” [ I. K.

Taxpayer to Get Little Relief at Next Session Loaders Say No Reduction in Income or Surtaxes LikeK by Sixty-Eighth Congress. Washington, March 11.—The Ions suffering American taxpayer Is to get little if any relief from the next con gress, according to administration leaders who are preparing to pilot through what administrative revision law is iivjsontemplation. No reductions In either normal taxes on individual Incomes nor on surtaxes are now in contemplation by the ad ministration and such 1 eductions arc not at all likely to be accepted even, if urged by congress from sources out side the administration This is the conclusion of Senator Pmoot, republican. Utah, who is to i>e chairman of the new finance commit tee. and Representative Green, repub lican, Iowa, who will be < hairman of the .new ways and means committee. These are the men who w ill have charge of the tax revision bill and they already are putting the soft pedal on income tax reduction, for which there has been loud clamor in eve ? election campaign and in every session of congress since the end of the war. Reduction* I nlikely. Senator Smoot and Representative Green agree that the condition of the treasury will not permit any reduc tion in the burden upon the. small tax payer in the form of a cut in tile pies- ' ent normal taxes. They also agree that the temper of rongresa is likely to be such as to prevent any reduc tion in surtax rates, which now' renen a maximum of ."'0 per cent. ■While Secretary of the Treasury Mellon is certain to renew Ins recom mendation for a reduction to a max imum of possibly 26 or 30 per cent, the prospective committee chairmen are j now declaring that no action along i this line may be expected. Senator Smoot mid Representative .Green also predict that agitation for j repeal of the present miscellaneous taxes, such as the manufacturers tax on automobiles and Jewelry, is not to auceed in the next session. .Senator j Smoot continues tyf favor substitution .of a general sales lax for the present miscellaneous taxes but admits that there is little chance of obtaining ap I prove 1 of congress for bis proposal. Representative Oreen opposes the sales tax but plans to visit Canada this summer to study the limited sales lax In efeet in that country. Change In Revenue l.aws I.iUelv. Pasage of a bill making administra tive change* iii the revenue law. a« already proposed by Representatlv flreen, who desires the treasury to ap point a committee at once to prepare recommendations, is considered desir able by both prospective i tail rule n and they beUve that little difficulty will lie encountered in olitainlng ap proval of such legislation. In discussing the sales tux situation. Senator Smoot sold that In- feels con fident tiiHl eventually congress will be forced to approve a sales tax. w hen it becomes apparent that needed revenue cannot be raised otherwise. Senator Smoot's sales lax proposal* were re jected during consideration of the 1921 revenue act and be does not nntlcl pato that sentiment for a general tax of this nature will he sufficiently strong in the next eongre* to bring about it* adoption. Expenditures of the government cannot be greatly reduced for many years, arording to Senator Knioot, and new burdens which are In prospect, such as a sold lefts bonus and Iner us ed expenditures In connection with compensation for disabled «wur vet erans: will make It necessary. In Ills opinion, to find new sources of talking money. 1 Fisherman (latches Mine; Two Killed. Urn* Injured llyipes. France.

Ordinarily its reports are completed within a week, hut in the Rector case—tlio reason doesn't mat ter here—the records were pigeon holed for six months., Thus the sign ing "f the decree, a formality, was dr layed. Showed Good Faith. "Mrs Rector, showed Iter good faith i by waiting six and a half months be fore she married Foley and went to Council Bluffs to he wed because she feared newspaper records that would follow an Omaha wedding would lead to the slaying of both her and Folev, by Rector, who sometimes telephoned threats " Htalmaster said the state will try to show Folej* did not meet Mrs. Rec tor until she was leaving her husband.

On the contrar} . it tends to show the coming of man from Asia to North America- But it indicate* that Mon golian civilization developed earlier even than that in the Ttgrla-Euphrate* xalley in Asia. Mexico City. March IX.—Excava tions in the Valle; of Mexico have rf 1 Xiack several thousand years the be ginning of civilization in the western hemisphere. They show that man was building cities here probably 10.000 years ago. They reveal five distinct civilizations, one imposed upon the other, the low est lying from 15 to 40 feet below the surface. The excavations reveal stranger things even than this. They demon strate apparently that the two earli est civilizations of the Valley of Mex ico were developed by people with slanting eyes and strangely Mon golian features. These people painted the walls of their cities and temples with strangely grotesque figures and symbols. which learned Chinese con nected with the Chinese legation in Mexico City recognized as primitive Chinese hieroglyphics. Many Skeletons Found. The first of these two "Mongolian civilizations" lies buried berveath drifted beds of sand and gravel. The skeletons of the dead are encountered in ail kinds of positions. Sometimes what are apparently whole families are found huddled within the adobe walls of their homes, showing that death came upon them suddenly and unexpectedly, buried their remains beneath the sediment j carried down by the floods. Interred with them are their house hold utensils, tlicit* family gods and their stocks of food. Other compara tively rude articles are found in the ruins of their temples. In both houses and temples are clay i figures which reveal clearly what this , early people looked like. Above the "winding sheets of grav el and sand." from one to several yards in thickness, which wraps tlie remains of the first civilized people of Mexico, is another civilization fur ther advanced, of more artistic devel opment. People W ere lluildem. The people of this “.second civiliza tion” were, build* r*. They had gods strangely like those of the first. They erected extensive walled temples, the remains of which are being daily ? brought to light by Prof. William Ni ven. an American, who has been un covering archeological remains in the Valley of Mexico for the last 14 years. The second Mongolian people made carefully carved figures of the gro tesque gods they worshiped In those far distant days. Their work is bet ter riqne than that of Grecian sculp tur.s in the early history of Grecian art. perhaps 2.000 years lator.
