Neither the postal savings bank idea
nor the bank guaranty law of Nebraska
seems to suit or please the bankers of the
state The Tribune does not under
stand that the measures are either one
of them especially or exclusively in
tended for the bankers It has been
our understanding of them that they
are primarily intended to benefit the
people
The death of Elsie Sigel one of the
most horrifying of late years at the
hands of a converted Chinaman in
dicates among other things that it is not
desirable for pretty young white women
to become too enthusiastic over con
verting the average chink Slum work
at the best is on the danger line and
the heathen Chinee only needs small en
couragement or none to become more in
terested in the pretty but often soft
headed and softer hearted young woman
than he is in her religion Hence
either disgrace or tragedy Let the
men do the work
Naturally the idea of an income tax
appeals more earnestly and strenuous
ly to the man who has no income suffi
cient to bring him under the effectual
operations of such a law and on the
other hand is opposed by men who may
thus have their incomes reduced by
such a law But besides operating to
make the wealthy pay a more adequate
and just portion of taxation and to
that extent relieving the poorer class of
citizens it will incidentally result in
restricting the growth in a small degree
of the abnormal fortunes of the brutally
rich The income tax should and
doubtless will come eventually in
America
A dispatch from Washington by the
Associated Press speaks as follows of
the attack made by Senator Burkett
upon Senator Aldrich and the methods
of the Finance Committee
Indulging in a vigorous denuncia
tion of the committee on finance because
of its change of front over night on the
subject of tobacco importations from
the Philippines Senator Burkett stand
ing face to face with Chairman Aldrich
today declared that its action looked to
him like a game of petty politics He
characterized this action as an effort to
hang Senator LaFollette in the air and
finally declared that this event afforded
senators a good opportunity to vote a
lack of confidence in the committee
Senator Burketts remarks came dur
ing the discussion over admitting tobac
co free from the Philippines After
refusing to adopt an amendment offered
by Senator LaFollette the finance com
mittee accepted an amendment made by
Senator Bulkeley calling for a reduc
tion more sweeping than the one asked
for by Senator LaFollette It was this
action which aroused Senator Burketts
ire The incident served to show even
more plainly the bitter fight that men
like Senator Burkett are making fori
true revision in opposition to the Al
drich followers
Bill Filed In Federal Court
A bill in equity was filed in tho fed
eral court Monday afternoon by fifty two
state banks in tho state against Govern
or Shallenberger State Auditor Barton
State Treasurer L G BriBn Attorney
General W T Thompson Ed Royse
secretnry nf the banking board and
Sam Putterson Unlesa preventive action
jb taken by the court the guaranty law
will go into offect on July 2 and the
complainants pray for an immediate
restraining order enjoining the defend
ants from acting as a banking board
and from taking possession of the books
and papers of the present banking board
from interfering with tho plaintiffs or
enforcing any of the provisions of the
guaranty law and also that at the final
hearing the law be declared unconsti
tntional The bill is signed by William
V Allen and John Lee Webster as coun
sel for the banks
The bill claims that the guaranty law
deprives the banks of the natural and
inherent right to conduct a banking bus
iness and deprives them of property in
vested in their bunking business with
out due process of law and without
compensation therefore being in viol
ation of section 1 article 14 of the
amendments to the federal constitution
and deprives them of their contract right
under the charters granted to them
severally by the existing banking board
thereby impairing the obligation of the
contract existing between the banks
and the state of Nebraska
The bill states that the state is with
out right or authority to require the
private bankers to transfer their banking
business to a corporation and that to
require the private banker to discon
tinue their business or to have their
affairs wound up by a receiver would
result m loss and damage to each of the
banks And that at the time the char
ters were issues there was no provision
in them or in the banking act of 1895
or in the state constitution or in any act
of the legislature in existence at that
time reserving to the state the right to
cancel or terminate the contract of the
banks to continue tho transacting of a
banking business Lincoln Journal
Mr Skalla Announces Himself
This issue Mr Skalla breaks the op
pressive silence in the local political
situation by annpuncing his candidacy
for renomination to the office of county
clerk subject to the decision of the
Republican primary election August
17th Mr Skalla points to his record
in that office for tho past two years
with pride we believe and is willing to
rest the case with the voters of the
county on the record made Ho has
made a hard working conscientious
and competent county clerk giving the
office his close personal attention All
persons having county business have
looked alike to him and have received
equal prompt and courteous attention
and service
The average voter has become bewild
ered trying to keep track of the many
changes in the election laws during the
past two years The first thing the
voters will have to do this year is to
hold a delegate county convention some
time before the third Tuesday in July
to select members of the county central
committee and to elect delegates to the
state convention which will be held on
the third Tuesday in July for the pur
pose of making state platforms These
conventions have nothing whatever to
do with the selection of party candidates
These are to be selected at primaries to
be held on the third Tuesday in August
The governments attitude of printing
return cards for patrons on its stamped
envelopes is one of the indefensible
paradoxes of the post office department
The embossing of the stamps on envel
opes or at furthest the printing of blank
returns without names of individual
firm or corporation should be the limit
of the government action in this line
Their printing of regular business cards
at prices below possible competition is
not only an expense against all for the
advantage of these who are able to buy
in the required quantities but is cou
spicuonsly unfair and unjust to the
printing business of the country which
is thus hopelessly bereft of a large item
of its proper business
