Why See Only “Milady Militant?”
We have noticed quite a tendency
among the country press, in the dis
cussion of equal suffrage in Nebraska,
to take the tactics of the English
militant suffragettes, and argue en
tirely on that line against our petition.
We want to suggest for the con
solation of these editors that the
American suffragist dose not now
and never did approve of the policy
of the English militant suffragette
in any degree. American manhood, as
we know it, does not have to be
educated in that way and American
womanhood does not teach lessons of
political economy or ethics in a
militant manner.
If the English methds, or English
women must be brought into the dis
cussion of Nebraska civil affairs, why
not tell us of the methods of our dear
Lady Henry Somerset, the lovely
white-haired Countess of Carlysle,
who is president of the World’s W.
C. T. U. Of Lady Ormiston Chant;
Agnes Slack, and numbers more of
good English women we could men
tion, who are ardently espousing the
cause of votes for women, and who
are the co-laborers of your own
mothers, wives, sisters and friends in
Nebraska, who have never thought
of arson, destroying valuable relics,
putting acids in mail boxes and other
inexcusable crimes done in the name
of “votes for women,” and who de
preciate these actions as heartily as
boys, do not class the women of Ne
braska who ask for suffrage in a
womanly way, as among those whom
you think unworthy of even respectful
mention. The English militant is not
at your door asking for any favor or
recognition.
Your own neighbors, mothers, sis
ters and wives are asking only for
what they honestly believe to be a
just and equitable right to vote their
opinions, wishes, and political privil
eges by the ballot, the same as your
self. And please do not ask them be
forehand how they will vote or with
which political party they will affiliate.
Just give us the ballot on the same
terms you, yourself, received it at
your twenty-first birthday.—Chairman
Holt County Suffrage Association.
His Twenty-eight Operation.
Omaha, April 22.—John J. Nolan,
53, retired soldier, residing at O’Neill,
Neb., is at St. Joseph’s hospital pre
paring for the twenty-eight opera
tion on his left eye.
Twenty-seven operations have been
performed on the same eye in Omaha
during the last ten years. Mr. Nolan
has not taken chloroform, ether, or
any general anaesthetic during any
of these operations, most of which
were severe. He will not take any
anaesthetics at this operation.
Mr. Nolan’s right eye was removed
by Dr. William C. Gorgas while Mr.
Nolan was a soldier at Fort Randall,
Dak., in 1886. Gorgas since has be
come famous for his work for the
government in the Panama canal
fever.
Except that he is able to distinguish
light from darkness, Mr. Nolan is
blind. Whether continued operations
will restore the sight of the eye that
is left, he does not know and doesn’t
worry about it.
Cobb and Stecker Wrestle to a Draw.
Several O’Neill lovers of the grap
pling game went to Stuart last night
to witness the mat contest between
Stecker of Dodge county and Cobb
of Stuart. The two men struggled
for five hours and 15 minutes without
a fall and the contest was declared a
draw. These men met about a month
ago and wrestled for over two hours
without a fall and many who at
tended from here were of the opinion
that the Dodge county man was too
fast for Cobb and that he could
have pinned the latters shouluders to
the mat had he been so inclined. But
those who witnessed last nights en
counter were of the opinion that if
Stecker could have thrown Cobb he
would have done so, and they came
away from the match convinced that
the Stuart man was a far better
grappler than they had given him
credit for being. It was a splendid
encounter and the only regret ex
pressed was that the contest did not
develop which was the better man.

.An Inheritance Law Proposition.
Opportunity, Neb., April 21, 1914.
Mr. Editor: I read some time ago
an article from the pen of Edward L.
Keen of London, England, in which
he quotes from a speech of Alfred
Russel of the same place, a few state
ments to show why he (Wallace) be
lieves a law should be passed
prohibiting all unborn babes from
inheriting property of their ancesters
as a preventative measure against the
accumulating of colossial fortunes by
the few and to make better times for
the many. Of course Mr. Wallace
was only advocating such a law for
his own country, but if England should
legalize such an infamous proposition
as that, by passing an inheritance law
emboding that principle, does any one
doubt for a minute that the big in
terests of this country would not use
their power to coerce congress to pass
a similar law which could not fail to
result in great benefits to those who
have now amassed fabulous fortunes?
A modification of that theory oc
cured to me when I read that article,
and I am constrained to remark that
if there is any inheritance legislation
needed in this country, that the fol
lowing plan may not be amiss. My
plan is this: The government would
not inherit on any sum under $5,000.,
and on that sum and under $10,000.,
2 per cent, $10,000 to $15,000 4 per
cent, $15,000 to $20,000 7 per cent,
$20,000 to $30,000 10 per cent,
$30,000 to $50,000 15 per cent,
$50,000 to $75,000 20 per cent,
$75,000 to $100,000 25 per cent and
all sums over that 30 per cent. Now
I will give an example to show how
this would work: John Rogers dies
leaving an estate valued at $5,000.
Very well, the federal government
would get 2 per cent of that and his
heirs the rest. The government would
get $100 and the heirs $4,900.v Now
il John Rogers left an estate valued
at $100,000 the government would get
25 per cent, or $25,000. while the heirs
got $75,000. But there would be a
serious flaw even in that plan if such
a law did not permit the state, county
and township in which that property
lay, to share its inheritance. There
fore I suggest that in such a law that
there should be a provision allowing
the federal and state governments
each 15 per cent of the governments
inheritance, the county 40 per cent
and the township 30 per cent. I will
give an example to show hoW that
would work out: John Rogers leaves
an estate valued at $5,000, his heirs
inherit 98 per cent of his estate, or
$4,900 and the remaining 2 per cent
or $100, would be distributed as fol
lows:
Federal gov’mt 15 per cent.. .$15.00
State gov’mt 15 per cent. 16.00
County gov’mt 40 per cent_40.00
Township gov’mt 30 per cent.. 30.00
Thus it is obvious the poor man
would get practically the whole of
his ancesters estate while the small
sums inherited by the government
would scarcely be felt by him and it
would help to lighten his taxes.
Now, Mr. Editor, I have tried to
make myself understod, in this matter,
and I virtually believe an inheritance
law in this country would appeal to
the candid judgment of our best
citizens, if modeled on the plan I
have herein suggested.
One more thing I must suggest ere
1 lay down my pen, and that in the
event that there should be any attempt
to evede the law when passed, as
some law something like the foregoing
may be some day, it would be well for
our national law makers to safeguard
the governments inheritance by
appropriate legislation. I also be
lieve that such a law would soon
abolish direct taxation which after
all is something that would be a great
boon to the working classes. Having
now expended much thought on this
subject, I am willing to rest on my
laurals and give some one else a
chance to express their views.
