mrmlicri vrr absent, crrated srnti
inrtit for the hill Mat admitted. Many
men oppoi-(l to it relented these
t:irti of (liinorrt and other Kate
administration rnrmics.
The last story circulated in favor
of the till it to the ftteet that if the
republicans don't out it over the
democrat! will if they ever Ret Into
power again. M it was pointed out
that 16 tatr have inch a tax now,
legislature, in other atatet are pass
ing inch a bill this winter and
sooner or later public sentiment will
demand that men of roadi, the auto
mobilisti, pay for their conitruction.
Figures Are Shown.
Official figure refuting the alleged
insidious, untruthful railroad propa
Kanda against the bill has taken that
weaput from its enemies. Many
member who were aligned agaiost
the bill" Friday admitting they
would be voting against their convic

Kepresrntative Webster admitted
today that the interpretation of
every one of hi statement made
l.:.!.... :.. f.r.Vii;n tli It i 1 1 ivfr rr
sim-y i ..... ........
runeou. It was understood Web
ster said the state tax levy had been
made for Yill and the passage of the
Rasoline tax bill would not relieve
the road building burden from real
property this fear.
"I didn't mean ta convey that
meaning, but everyone understood
me that way and if they did, I, am
sorry, a such interpretation was
wrong. The tax levy hasn't been
made for 1922 and can't be made
until after' this session," Webster
said.
Explanation Come Hard.
A similar statement declaring the
1922 levy had been made was issued
by Keith Neville at the democratic
love feast in Omaha. Governor
McKclvic presented the minutes of
the state board of equalization meet
ings to show that rio meeting had
been held to make the 1922 tax levy.
Nonpartisan leaguers, numbering
13 in the lower house, are facing
embarrassment , in explaining why
they . are against the tax in Ne
braska, while the nonpartisan league
legislature put such a tax through m
North Dakcta when that party was
in control there. Editorials in North
Dakota nonpartisan league newspa
pers lauding the gasoline tax are on
display here! . . .
The same embarrassment is facing
democrats as many of the states with
the tax arc democratic arrd many
democratic state legislatures are
adopting such a tax this winter. -

Work of Night Classes in
North Platte Surprises
Nation's Executive.
North Platte, Neb., Jan. 28. (Spe
cial.) Mrs. W. V. Hoagland, presi
dent of the joint rarcnt-Tcachcr asso
ciation, received a letter from Presi
dent Harding in reply to the tele
gram they sent him last week con
cerning the newly organized night
school. Following is the letter:
"My Dear Mrs. Hoagland: One
fiaturally expects every American
town to be perfectly sure that it has
the best of everything, and, therefore,
when I received your telegram about
the achievements of the North Platte
night school, I was not at all aston
ished, but theft was one statement in
ycur telegram which compelled a
ery decided interest. You tell me
that in connection with your high
school you have registered the largest
adult night school in the United
States, numbering 1,137 students and
44 teachers. In a city of only 11,000
it strikes me as a really remarkable
achievement for which distinguished
credit is due to somebody, I assume
to your Parent-Teacher association.
"What a magnificent thing it would
be for our country if every commun
ity, in proportion to its population,
would accomplish what you are do
ing with this work. My sinceresl
congratulations to everybody who
has helped to make it possible.
"Very s'necrely,
"WARREN G. HARDING."

Would .Save Dredging. ,
"If we can care for the Missouri
river above, we will save dredging
the Mississippi river below."
The committee was keenly inter
ested, especially Congressman Ellis
of Kansas City, who asked many
questions of Mr. Woods.
Governor Hyde ot Missouri was
so taken with the scheme that he
requested a second showing of the
pictures. There is no doubt but that
the demonstration did more to bring
the Missouri river to the fore in the
rivers and harbors committee than
has any previous move. Woods has
already appeared before the senate
committee, and -today accepted an
invitation to present his scheme to
the ' engineers of the Navy depart
ment . "
The idea has the unqualified en
dorsement of army engineers and
seems to light the way to navigating
the river and safeguarding the fer
tile land along its banks. The com
mittee applauded Woods heartily at
the conclusion of . his remarks.
