' Tragedy of Transportation.
Most vitally important of all tiic points
brought out in the debate before the Kims
fnd Harbors congress on the lakes-to-ocean
canal projict is that made by Governor Allen,
and which hp denominates "the tragedy of trans
portation." lie recited the established facts of
production in the great food producing region
to be served, ami emphasized the .stupendously
important price-controlling factor of distance
from market.
Only eleven states of t he union eNport food,
that is, have a surplus after feeding their own
population. Of these the Dakotas, Minnesota,
Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois, Missouri, Kansas and
Nebraska form a compact group, from whose
fields and pastures go forth each year three to
four billions of dollars worth of food to the
world. This is met by the initial handicap to the
growers of being produced and marketed on the
longest rail-radius in the world. The Nebraska
farmer must ship by rail, 1,500 miles to the At
lantic or Pacific, and 1,000 miles to the Gulf, to
reach tidewater, and sell in competition with
'Argentine farmers, who ship less than 300 miles.
A stronger argument for the proposed water
way can not be framed. Hydro-electric power
nd similar advantages are aside from the main
purpose of the proposed ship canal.
Its principal business will be to haul from
ports as far inland as Diilutli, Milwaukee and
Chicago the exportable goods of the most pro
lific agricultural region in the world, and its
principal service will be to bring the fields of
Nebraska 1,000 miles nearer the seaboard.. When
this is accomplished, the rail haul, with its corre
sponding high rates, will be shortened, and a
greater percentage of the selling price on the
world market will go to the man who raises the
grain or fattens the meat animal. Distance from
market is the controlling factor of farm price,
and the waterway will lessen the distance to mar
ket, just as the good road is doing, by making
the market easier to reach.
Porto Rico and Uncle Sam.
The demand of the Porto Rican commissioner
that Governor E. Mont Rcily be investigated
may have the effect of determining the status of
the island, and also serve to quiet some of Uncle
Sam's unruly nephews in that part of the world.
The commissioner, as one ground for his com
plaint, sets up that Governor Reily referred to
the "flag" of Porto Rico as "a dirty rag." This
is hardly possible, for Mr. Rcily is an American
citizen, loyal to his government, and the flag of
Porto Rico is the Stars and Stripes, a fact that
some of the islanders seem to have forgotten.
When Spain surrendered the island to the United
States, the flag was raised as a symbol of pos
session, and it has not and probably never will
be lowered in token of abandonment. Lately a
group of island politicians has set up claims of
independence, and pretends to have adopted a
flag. These gentlemen are jn danger of running
afoul of a government that is usually patient and
inclined to leniency with offenders, but which
can deal sternly when occasion demands. Porto
Ricans have self-government to the extent al
loted any state or territory, and that ought to
satisfy them. If they want any information as
to the chances of secession, they might look up
the record of the Confederate States of America.
A Correction.
A misstatement was made in The Bee with
reference to school taxes, due to the use of the
wrong figures. The tax for 1917 was $1,220,
608.70; for 1921, $2,62S,132.63, an increase of
more than 100 per cent, instead of 63 per cent as
stated in The Bee. The other figures in the
editorial are correct.
Police Situation a Warning.
. Much concern is manifested generally over
the reduction of police department personnel at
the very time when the list of unsolved crimes
in Omaha runs larger than for many years. City
officials lament the necessity and citizens whose
lives and property need protection are aghast.
There is reason for concern. Omaha needs
more and better police protection rather than
less. The shame is that the outcry comes in
March when it should come in January, It was
in January that the city commission apportioned
funds to the various departments. It was then
that newspapers and civic organizations sup
ported Police Superintendent Dunn in his re
quest for adequate sustenance for his department.
That was the time for action. But the city com
mission did not respond; the public opinion
which could have forced response was not
aroused.
Now the lawyers say that funds can not be
transferred, that there is nothing to do but to
worry along as best may be, while individual
fcitiztnj dig Into their pockets for special pro
tection. Il may tt t 4 UH M I'medy h.

In bis annual report, d4td November 20,
l')9, Carter GI.iss, thru secretary of the treas
ury, now a democratic etitor from Virginia,
goes President Wilson one briter by s.ijing that
the excess profits taxes were no gool even as a
war expedient. We shall quote from liis report:
The treasury's objections to the rxcess
profits tax even as a war expedient (in contra
distinction to a war prolits tax) have been re
peatedly voiced before the commttees in cnu
gress. Still more objectionable is the opera
tion of the excess protits tax in peace time.
It encourages wasteful expenditures, puts a
premium on overcapitalization and a penalty
on brains, energy and enterprise, discourages
new ventures, and confirms old ventures in
their monopolies. In many instances it acts
as a consumption tax, is added to the cost of
production upon which profits are figured in
determining prices, and has been, and will be,
so long as it is maintained upon the statute
books, a material factor in the increased cost
of living.
The record of the past rises up to mock the
hollow pretenses of the democratic politicians.
They are dealing today in half truths and de
pending on illusion for their effects. President
Wilson and his secretary of the treasury united
in urging upon congress what has been done
now under President Harding. If there is any
comfort for opponents of the present national
administration in this, they are welcome.
Banks and Blue Sky.
Nebraskans who were inveigled into the
reckless purchase of blue sky stocks sometimes
accuse leading citizens 'of their communities of
having aided bogus investment salesmen. In
stances are occasional in which country bankers
are blamed for not using the information ob
tainable through financial channels to block the
defrauding of their neighbors.
There are spots in Nebraska where scarcely
a cent was fleeced from investors. Wherever
this condition is found, most of the credit be
longs to the local bankers, who used publicity to
warn the people against the promoters who
drove up to the farm gates in their big cars.
One of these districts which kept their sanity
in the1 mad days of speculation was around
Geneva. Another was at Stuart, in the hay belt.
The Citizens' bank of Stuart used full-page ad
vertisements in the local papers to denounce the
blue sky mania and to warn the public. This
idea of righting illegitimate business with
printers' ink was pushed by John M. Flannigan,
then president of the Nebraska State Bankers'
association. Many a man now owes his sav
ings to the fact that the Flannigan bank at
Stuart punctured the stock bubbles.
From this experience Mr. Flannigan, now
executive secretary of the War Finance corpor
ation for Nebraska, has sent out letters to the
country bankers urging them to advertise in their
local newspapers. He sees the stabilizing value
of the banker putting himself before the public
as a reliable business adviser, offering broader
service than the mere routine transactions.
No one can afford to look the other way
while his neighbor is being plundered for fake
stocks. His loss is the community's; and if he
is unable to pay his local debts, that may pre
vent his creditors from meeeting their obliga
tions to the one who looked on in scorn at the
start. More advertising by the country banks
will give a great opportunity and a sure method
of heading off blue sky promotion before it starts
again.
Ship Subsidy Plans
What Ntbra.U Editor Say tl
President Harding' Propo4l
Our Navy at Rest.
If the secretary of navy is correct in his
statements,' and the house committee on ap
propriations, continues to hold its grip on the
purse string the world will be edified by a mo
tionless navy from now until the end of June.
As the country is at peace with all the world,
perhaps the condition of the naval coal bunkers
and fuel oil tanks is not an unmixed calamity.
Four months of a respite should not be the cause
of serious deterioration in the discipline of our
sea dogs; in fact, the time might be to great
profit employed in teaching them shore routine
as well as ship drill. Greater than this, it will
accustom the American people to the thought of
being without a navy; not completely, of course,
for the ships are there, ready for emergency, but
quietly swinging at moorings, and so exem
plifying a world without cause for battle at sea.
Six million dollars will buy considerable fuel,
for it will provide $1,500,000 a month from now
until the end of the fiscal year, and may admit
of all the running around that the exigencies of
the service will call for. The Bee is not in favor
of scrapping the navy, but we can not escape
the thought that six million dollars saved on
the coal pile is of just as much worth to the
cause of economy as a similar sum saved any
where else.
It is 400 miles to the irrigated country of
western Nebraska, but for all that, Omaha's busi
ness will be benefited by the bill postponing
payment of water charges that has been pushed
through the house by Representative Kinkaid.
These irrigation rates have been a heavy burden
on the farmers, and this temporary relicfywhich
will enable them to get on their feet again ought
not to be held up in the senate.

I '. K. Pun ell President Harding's plan for
encouraging America's merchant marine is a
feasible one to devolop and expand Amirica's
commerce. America hadly needs a transoceanic
ranging system of its own and should utilize
ships built during the war. With proper safe
guards the president's plan could be made a
wonderful stimulus to American shipping and
would have direct bearing on the marketing of
our surplus products.

Conference Critics
Confounded
The Washington conference has achieved in
this direction results which have electrified the
world and given new heart to those who hon
estly hope for peace. It has disappointed the
jingoes and those who have insisted that no hope
for international amity exists outside the Wil
son League of Nations and who have been con
sequently ready to belittle and decry every action
of the Washington conference.
A great deal of this criticism may be ex
pected as the results of the conference are
summed up. The great American public will not
be impressed by them, but will prefer to form
its judgments on the clear fads of reduced naval
armament, agreements for peace instead of armed
alliances, elimination of causes of friction in the
Pacific and the Orient; definite and practical
steps toward the restoration of China, and the
outlawing of poison gas and submarine com
merce destroyers. These are the results which
stand out and no amount of criticism regarding
such details as the scrapping of one warship in
stead of another will weigh very heavily against
them. Milwaukee Sentinel.
McAdoo's Record
The efforts of William Gibbs McAdoo to
whitewash the government administration of the
railroads during the war period were interesting
but unconvincing, interesting because they were
so contrary to what every one unprejudiced
realized as to results, and unconvincing because
facts are stubborn things. The proof of the pud
ding is in the eating: the public and the railroad
companies ate and it didn't taste good.
Of course no one who does any thinking or
who has any knowledge of the facts accepts Mc
Adoo's statements as being anything more than
a very transparent coat of whitewash for the
government's mishandling of the transportation
system of the country, a mishandling brought
about not only by lack of familiarity with the
subject, but because of the impossibility of get
ting through with the job without playing politics
along the lines of the Adamson act, which was
the beginning of the great troubles of the rail
roads in the last several years.
The public learned to its sorrow that Mr
McAdoo's promises in regard to railroad man
agement sadly failed, and as the Manufacturers
Record said when he resigned he got out just in
time to unload' upon others a broken down rail
road system for the whole country. Manufac
turers Record.
A Real Achievment
The great accomplishment of the arms con
ference is the agreement of the five sea powers
upon the limitation of naval strength. This is
something definite and certain, a recognition of
the interests of the common people, a brake upon
mad armament competition, a step toward the
goal of world peace still shining in the far dis
tance. Voluntarily to destroy even a few battle
ships, voluntarily to agree to build no more even
for a short time it is a great triumph for com
mon sense and high ideals and may well lead to
greater things. It may be said in a broad way
that little has been accomplished toward the per
manent settlement of the far east questions.
And so the cynics say that the conference has
accomplished nothing of real importance, Japan
being the potential Prussia of the future. But,
despite the cynics, the pledge to destroy engines
of war and not to build more for a stated time
is in itself a great achievement, an accomplish
ment to hearten the taxpayers of all lands and
give hope to those who or whose children must
bear the cruel brunt of war if war comes again.

How to Stop Nosebleed.
G. W. J. writes: "I am a man 19
years old and about six feet two
inches tall. I have been troubled
with nose hemorrhages for quite a
while. I have tried several reme
dies, but with no advantage. Can
you suggest something for me to
use to stop it?"
KKT'LY.
To stop nosebleed compress the
nostrils with the thumb and index
finger. Bend the bead forward long
enouph for the nasal passages to
fill with blood and for the blood to
clot firmly.
If the tendency persists and ap
pears dangerous have a physician
find and cauterize the- bleeding
point.
Nose hemorrhages occur with
great frequency in young people.
