Chinese In Control.
The director general of the rail

traffic manager will be a Japanese
and there will be two chief account
ants, one a Chinese, the other a Ja

has been generally adopted in Chi

of' the Chinese delegation, said to
day that the drafting of the treaty
might to be completed in two or
three day and be made public then.
It was made known the restora

"We feel grateful to and have to
thank Mr. Hughes and Mr. Balfour
for the friendly help and advice
which they have given and which
have brought the conversations to
a happy conclusion.
"The settlement will have a much
'better effect upon the Chinese peo
ple when they see China actually in
control. Therefore, the execution of
the treaty ought to be expedited as
much as possibly'"

Reports Rosebud Country
in Pretty Good Condition
According to E. J. Hickey of Dal
las, S. D who brought in a ship
ment of cattle yesterday, rye anj
wheat crops in the Rosebud country
are in pretty good condition and not
in need of much moisture.
He said the late snow was pot
doing much good as the ground was
irozen rather deep and most of the
moisture would run off when the
thaw comes.
"This has been a rather dry win
ter in the Rosebud country," said
Mr. Hickey, "but there was consider,
.-ible moisture in the ground at seed
ing time. Our big crop is rye, which
has shown big yields and does not
winter-kill as easily as wheat. Thv
ield of rye has shown a' great in-
tease in the last two seasons." '

Maintaining that taxes have in
creased too much during the last
10 year the taxation committee of
the Omaha Real Lstate board, head
ed by W. G. Ure, former city and
county official, will endeavor to
make investigation which will lead
to the elimination of duplication of
energy and the discouragement of
extravagance in the local govern
ments.
Taxes in the city have risen from
1.684 cents to 2.890 cents si dollar
between 1911 and 1921, according
to figures prepared by the commit
tee. Total levies have tncreased
from $3,057,503 to $9,262,520 during
the time.
'We think," the committee said
in its public statement." that care
ful examinations, which we intend
to make, will reveal that some of
our public expenditure are unnec
essary and that there are duplica
tions of effort, which can be elim
inated. We think the public, in some
instances, ask for services that it
does not need when the cost Js con
sidered." - . ,
