REVENUE LAW.
The people of Nebraska had
for years been much distresscd
by thc incllicicncy of its system
of asscssmcnt and taxation. 'l'hc
burdcn was unequally distributed
and anything like justice to all
property interests was impossiblc.
trhc last republican legislature
took cognizance of this condition
and enacted a new law intended
to remedy existing cvils. It is no
small matter to readjust the entire -
tire system of taxation of a great
state , , and no easy task to frame
a law that will meet all thc demands -
mands that will bc made upon it.
The revenue law enacted by thc
last legislature is being put to
thc test , and thc result of thc application -
plication is being awaitcd with
thc keenest interest by everybody -
body , but there are none who are
more intcrcstcd in the outcome
than thc members of the political
party who stand responsible for
thc law. Only a rigid test can
point out its weak points and indicate -
dicate changes ncccssary to bc
made. The test has pro cedcc1
far enough to indicate that thc
law will , in tlfe main , answer thc
purpose for which it was enacted ,
but the same test will probably
show where changes can bc made
to advantagc , and a still more
just and equitable assessment of
all properties assurcd. In this
connection , the following plank
from the platform adopted at thc
republican state convention last
- - - - - - . - - - - - - . - - - - - - - . _ - - - - -
week , is of intcrcst. This par-
ticular plank is as follows :
" .In rcsponsc to a public nc-
cessity' and thc party's pledge ,
thc legislature has enacted a new
revenue law. It was framed to
distributc thc public burden with
exact and even justicc. 1Ve
plcdgc thc party to a correction
of such inequalities as may bc
d isc1osed , and to thc , assessment
of all property , corporate and pri-
vatc , at its full face value accord-
ing to law.Vc favor only thc
raising of such revenue ilS' is
nced to meet current expenses of
thc state government under thc
most rigid economy and for the
gradual cxtinguishmcnt of the
public dc bt. "
'l t1tlS has thc party not only
declared its willingness to stand
sponsor for thc law which it
brought into cxistcnse , but has
pledged itself to make such
changes as may prove ncccssary
to make it a more just and equitable -
able law.

THE CLASS OF 04.
Not all baccalaureate sermons
arc preach from pulpits , for
nearly everyone feels that it is
his privilege to preach to the
graduates and to give diem good
ad vicc. . 'l'hcrc is generally a
great teal of sarcasm and irony
minglcc1 with these sermons and
they arc sometimes illustrated
with stories of young mcn and
young women who started out ,
armed with a high school diploma
to reform thc world , and who ten
years later were to bc found
working for moderatc wages and
with their knowledge of latin
roots and algebraic equations as
dim as the fading script on their
diplomas. 'l'hc preachers rarely
mention , howcvcr , thc in any . ,
many young mcn and woman who
step out from thc school room
and into thc world's activities
' and find await-
every year a place -
ing thcm 'l'hcy rarely tell thc
g'raduate that whilc hc may for-
get the latin root and th2 algebraic -
braic equation , thc training given
his mind in once acquiring knowl-
edge of them has better equipped
him to grasp other learning that
will bc of vast importance in liter -
cr ycars. lie who has learned to
conjugate a latin verb , or correctly -
ly parse a sentence from Virgil ,
will find it easier to grasp and
classify thc details of a busincs
or profcssion. Your diploma is
a certificate that such training
has been yours. As thc years go
by , you may forget that there is
such a thing as a quadratic equation -
tion , but may bc applying your
mClttal training to thc finding of
thc unknown quantity in thc
problem of business succcss. As
to what you ought to do and
what yon ought not to do after
leaving school , time and your opportunities -
portuuitics will tell you bcst. .
- - - - - - - - - -
'l'hc trribunc has no desire to
preach , but to congratulate each
and every member of thc Class of
' 04. WVe desire to congratulate
you on thc fact that you are entering -
tering the Hclel ( of thc worlel's
work at a time when a well train-
cd mind is at so high a prcmium
\ \ , . hem you can lind so much to do
and so malH' chances to succecd.
\'tay each find his niche and fill
it with abundant credit to hin -
sel r.
Ten years from now your class
will have scattered and sonic may
have graduated from thc school
of life. Thcn , young man and
young woman , there will conic
times when thc evening will had
you weary from thc days tasks
and pcrhaps a little discourag'p.d
if all has not gone wcll. 't'hcl1
you will sit in thc still shadows
and I\Icmory will come and unroll
her canvas and pain for you a
picturc. . You shall sec again
thc crowded theatre < from bc- .
hind thc foot-ligh You shall
sit again in thc circle that ' is
broken anc1 ( smcll the fragrance
of thc flowers and hear thc music
and thc applausc. Thc voices of
thc past shall speak and when at
last you fall asleep , it shall bc to
pleasant dreams. And when you
awake to begin another day , you
will greet thc task with a lighter
heart and a firmer dctcrmination.
For 1 + this , if nothing else , it is
worth while to graduatc

MEMORIAL ! DAY.
The approach of I\lcmorial Day
once more calls thc attention of
thc nation to thc debt it owes lo
hose who so bravely defended
it at thc time when defense was
sorely nccded. Each year a dccp-
cr significance seems to attach
itself to this day. Sometimes
when wc see the tremendous com-
mcrcial energy that is holling so
much of thc attention and dc-
miwding so much of thc best
efforts of thc present generation ,
and when wc see thc Cod of gain
growing bolder and bolder , and
his worshippers : : grow more and
more numerous wc many , bc a lit-
tlc inclined to wonder if thc true
patriotic principle is not waning
anc1 being lost sigh of in thc
strenuous battles of commercial
war that is always waging. But
when Ivlcmorial day come , and
thc uproar of commercial activity
has given way to the sound of
thc mufl1cd drum and thc tramp
of halting and weary feet , all our
doubts arc swept aside , for from
thc cast and west , and north and
south conies thc sounel of patriotic -
ic songs , and in every little country -
try burial plot , as well as thc big
national cemeteries , the flag
wanes over mounds that arc
strewn with flowers , and "the
army of thc living meets the army
of thc ( leaL" At thc simple but
impressive sight the great Amcr-
- - - - - - -
ican heart is touch cd. "rhc god . , '
of gain sits alenc in his deserted ° '
temple and thc inhcrcnt patriot- , . )
ism of thc American people is '
proven as patriotism is proven uy
no other nation on carth.
