Council Finally Files City Golf Fee Ordinance Would Raise Annual Dues to $10; Exempts Youths Un der 18—Favors Pro hibiting Women. A spirited discussion over municipal golf link fees, before city council committee of the whole Monday morn ing, resulted in placing on file an ordi nance proposing an annual charge of 310 and per game fee of 50 cents, anil the approval of a flat charge of 23 cents for 18 holes or 15 cents for nine holes, with elimination of annual fee. City Commissioner J. K. Hummel, superintendent of parks, was directed to prepare an ordinance as indicated. The present ordinance exempts from' i barge all tinder IS years of age, which feature will lie revised in the raw ordinance. It was proposed that all over 12 should pay, and it also was brought out that many of the best muny golf players are between 15 and 18. This golf controversy was started when It was proposed to iperease the present annual fee of $2.50 to $10 and the 25 cents pet- game charge lo 50 cents. A referendum vote taken by the Municipal Golf association, ac cording to Robert t'uscnden, secre tary, resulted in <27 for an Increase to $10 and 421 against, and 75 for a compromise. For Moderate Increase. T. K. Patterson stated that many who were against the proposed $10 annual charge were for a muderaU Increase. city Commissioners Koutsky and Dunn stated that the per-gume charge was fuller than the present system mid added that the "pay as you play" plan yielded more revenue, according to experience of other cities. • During 1923 the Omaha 3»tuny links cost $15,000 to maintain and the golf fees were $10,394. There are about 8,000 muny link patrons this season, and 2,270 hold season cards which cost $2.30 each. It is estimated that this season many golfers will play 150,000 rounds of nine holes each. The proposed new charge would yield more than $25,000 next season eccardingto an estimate, which would he about twice the golf receipts of this year. Would Prohibit Women. "There are some muny golf players who would not be satisfied if all the privileges were free," said Commls sloer Hummel. "Of course, many are gentlemen, but we have some men on i he muny links who should be thrown nut. They would not be tolerated on private links. Their language at times is terrible." Dr. H. W. Weeks suggested that a strong municipal golf association be formed and the city turn over the muny links to the organization, ns some other cities have done, lie slat ed that the real issue of this golf fee agitation was an effort of a group of Klmwood golfers to relieve congestion nt the Elmwood links, Ihe only 18 hole muny course. "[ was at their meeting in the city hall and they even suggested prohib iting women at the Klmwood links to teller e the congestion," Dt. Week a said.

Government Rail Ownership Congressman From “Big Sixth” Enjoys Respite From Campaigning; Represents Half of State. Congressman Jtobert Simmons of the "Big Six" district, comprising more than half the state of Nebraska, was In Omaha Monday between cam paign tours over his -U.OOtl square miles of territory. "The big issues of this campaign are government ownership of rail roads and the attack on the consti tution,” he said. "The rosy promises of those who advocate ownership of the railroads by the government could never work out, "An enormous increase in taxes upon farmers and all other property owners would be the first effect. For the railroads, of course, would pay no taxes if they xvere owned by the gov ernment. And the taxes they now pay would have to be paid hj* the owners ol the farms, business houses, homes and all other private property. ICoads Pay Big Taxes. "I looked up the tax records in Thomas county, a county with merely one line of railroad running across it. Yet I found the railroad pays nearly half die taxes in that county. "Government ownership in Thomas county would mean 100 per cent in crease in state and local taxes, iri Sheridan county it means 15 per cent Increase. That is bound to come first. in Custer county the railroads pay nearly $100,000 annually in taxes. "If the government bought the rail roads, the other property owners would pay the enormous hill. If bil lions of dollars of bonds were Issued for the purchase, who would pay the millions of interest nnually on these bonds? The pe»ple. of coufse. And the people would have pay the bonds when they came due. All of which would mean that the federal government taxes would have to lie enormously increased. Benefits Overbalanced. "Kven assuming that the railroads would Vie as efficiently managed as they are now, this enormous increased burden of taxation would more than overbalance any possible benefit from governmot ownership.” Mr. Simmons Is the successor of Moses Kinkaid, who was fur JO xeais congressman frum the "Big Sixth" and Is said to bid fail to match Kin kaid's record of service.

H. Clements and other former employes of the Atchison, Topeka & Kanta Fe railway, con victed of obstructing the passage of the mnil and interfering with inter state commerce during the shopcrafts strike In 1922.
