No Politics in Dismissing Girls, A. B. Allen Says —■1 k Internal Revenue Collector ^ ^ Acting Under Orders of Chief to Reduce Personnel. A. B. Allen, collector of Internal revenue In this district, explained yesterday that he received orders from the commissioner of internal revenue at Washington, acting under directions of the secretary of the treasury, to reduce the personnel of his office. This reduction, Mr. Allen outlined, was necessary to meet a decrease in the appropriation made by congress, effective with the new fiscal year, beginning on the first day of next month. The total reduction of the ap propriation for the revenue service is $1,182,990 for 65 collection districts. This district faces a reduction of $16, 500 for the year beginning July 1. Order Peremptory. “This order from Washington is peremptory and we had to reduce," Mr. Allen said. "The cut In the ap propriation figures is 10 per cent. The national government has been reduc ing the personnel in various depart ments. The work in the revenue de partment is not as much as it was during the peak period a few years ago. We do not have the excess ' profits tax. much of the sales tax work has been eliminated, the trans portation tax is off and the increase of personal exemptions has decreased the number of income tax returns." The collector asserted that there was no politics in his action last week wi^n he advised six women of his |lfcg|^p.se that they would be dropped from the service on July 1. No Politics. "I came into the office two years ago and if I would have been disposed to have played politics I could have cleaned up then. The Idea of politics does not enter into the administration of my office. During the last few months five vacancies occurred In my office on account of deaths and resig nations. I did not fill those posi tions, thinking there might be a re duction In the appropriation. When the reduction did come. I was re quired to reduce the staff by dismiss ing six women of the office and one field man. ®ne of the women was transferred to another office in the postoffice. "It was a painful task for me to call those women into my office and explain to them that It was necessary to reduce the staff. I selected the persons I thought would least affect the organization of the office. I used my best Judgment. I had nothing against these young women. My re lations with them were pleasant. I explained to them that Instructions from Washington directed me to re duce the personnel so that the autho rized force would not exceed the ap propriation for the next fiscal year.” the leaves nf your n»edlebook are ^ made of chamois skin the needles will never rust It is much better than the customary flannel.

Republican Women Will Have National Political Clubhouse jYe-u? Homs* J &f~ ff/cxman’s XZ-ifcc'CXtt. ' CZxzX, 6 Sr& £r6'-/372‘S¥r C*£, With the announcement of the opening of the first national politi cal club house for women in this country, the curtain rises on the 1924 campaign. More than $100,000 was raised in 20 minutes by republican women in New York City a few days ago for this new political headquar ters. The Women's National Republican club has a membership^of more than 1.200, representing practically every state in the union. Republican women in all parts of the country are eligible to membership. Mrs. Charles H. Sabin, president of the Women’s National Republi can club, in discussing the signifi cance of this club house said: “This r.ew national club house for repub lican women in this country is the logical advance from the days when suffrage pioneers first dreamed of women winning an Important place of their own in the political life of the nation. This building stands as a symbol of the permanency and im portance of the place which women have achieved in politics in the last decade.” Central location. The new club house will be ready for occupancy next winter. It is lo rated at No. 6 and 8 East Thirty seventh street. New York City. It is easily accessible to the Grand Cen tral Terminal and the Pennsylvania station. The Women's National Republican club was organized two and a half years ago. with Mrs. Arthur L. Liv ermore as its first president. Members of the states represen tative committee of the club are: Mrs. Samuel O. Prentice, of Connecti cut, Mrs. Samuel F. Thurston of Kentucky, Mrs. Guy Gannett of Maine, Mrs. William H Schofield of New Hampshire, Mrs. Cordenio A Severance of Minnesota and Mrs. Henry R Rea of Pennsylvania. Miss Maude Wetmore of Rhode Island is vice president of the club and Mrs. Reeve Schley of New Jersey is a member of the board of directors.

"Governor Bryan is suffering from what a good many men who ride into office on generous promises suffer from," said Theodore Osterman, demo cratic leader in the last legislature, yesterday. Mr. Osterman came to Omaha for the day from his farm near Central City. His remark was called forth hy the recent statement in which the governor urged the necessity of cutting local taxes and called attention to the small part played by the state taxes in the total. "Governor Bryan is no different from many governors before him," continued Mr. Osterman. "He is find ing out that state taxes have little to do with lowering the local tax bill. ■'■While the popular clamor for the repeal of the, code bill failed, it left Bryan with what he called too much power when McKelvIe had it. By leaving the code as it was, the gover nor has full power to fix salaries and reduce the costs of government. If there is any waste, he has the power to eliminate It. ■'I sometimes think the republicans in the legislature wanted to give Bryan full power to see what savings he could make in Nebraska taxes. Personally, I believe, after years of experience in the revenue and taxa tion commute, that tthe only way to relieve the people from the burden of taxation that is breaking their backs is to revise the system in such a way as to distribute the tax bill properly among those best able to pay it.” Carter Lake Club Has Many Improvements This Year Carter Lake club has entered upon a season that promises to be the best in its long history, judging by the new members and the large crowds. The new dance floor, one of the largest in this part of the country, is partly responsible for this. The floor is on the site of the old one. Besides being large, it is noteworthy for Us smoothness and for the ventila tion. The many windows all are screened. The dining and refreshment depart ments of the club this year have undergone a complete transformation and the cuisine and service are ex cellent. under the suiiervision of Mrs. Pierce, who took charge this year. Water devices have been installed at the swimm.ng beach and crowds of swimmers have never before been so large.
