"It would not surprise me to see tiie r publican administration back a movement to is.-,,e bonds u meet I the exp.-nses of the government at no distant dale." said Fnited States Senator (I. M. Hitchcock Monday on his re'urn to Omaha for a short st a. v. "The republicans took office under a pledge to reduce taxation, but there is no immediate possibility of the administration being able to bring this about and besides, the ad ministration is faced with immediate necessitv for funds. "The business depression that has prevailed for nearly a ear in view of the foreign ntuat;on has greatly curtailed the probable income from excess profits. Total reduction from this source may run as high as a billion and a half dollars. Receipts from the income tax will be ie.-s. As a whole. 1 believe the reduction in revenue from these two s-mros alone will be about two billions. Would Create Big Problems "It appears that the imposition of a high protective thrift' would b" a further bar to foreign commerce. To solve the situation, the trend of af fairs in Washington indicates one source of revenue in a .-ales tax upon ail commodities. If this is followed the result will be that in place of the revenue coming as now trom tl.e rich in the form of excess profit taxes and a tax upon income, the producers and merchants will pay a percentage upon their ales whether their businesses have been, conducted at a profit or not. The farmer whose crop has been dispo.-ed of for Sn'"ii a ear. will contribute ?40 to the government. "Issue of bonds would of its- lf create big problems. The present 4 and 4 '4 per cent bonds of the gov ernment are quoted at around It would probably be necessary to issue new bonds at around per cent and this might cntaii refunding. Business Men Need League "There has been some slight effort to cut down the forces of govern ment departments as an economy move, hut t lie result lias tieen negligible when compared with the task of meeting the big problem of government expense. luis situation is one that calls for immediate action on the part of the administration. I think President Harding ns a result of pure business necessity at no distant date wiil have to reconcile himself to some policy that wiil make the Fnited States a member of the league of nations. . i . : I . . it. .:.. ........ . - . . riTsiui'iii rial unit; muuis hum e t than anything else to bring prosper-j ity but Europe cannot pay for the; raw materials that have Oeen sent over and the government cur. no; stand bv a policv that will keep con-1 tinually adding to the bal-.m-e' against European nations of about ;;0o.0'.(HK' a year unless some means ot credit is estabii-lit d. Ktitrv; into the league has ceased to be an ' ideal or an altruistic principle. It desired by the business interests. ot the l nited Mates so mat a Oasis of credit may be found. Meaning of Viviani Visit "Recent indications, as for in stance, the proposed visit ot niani i to this country, would seem to point to a possible amendment of the covenant whereby the administration might deem changes enough had been made to permit the United) States to join. The covenant con-! tains provisions whereby amend ments to its provisions may be made by its members. In this way it would be possible to remove what ever barriers (.'resident Harding might conceive existed. There seems to be a feeling that European gov ernments would agree to some such plan." The senator arrived in Omaha yes terday for a week in Nebraska dur ing which he will go to Niobrara to confer with connty and state officials over a bridge tor winch government aid is sought, and also will attend a meeting of the legislative league in Lincoln next Monday. WILL FIX UP BRIDGES IN WEST PART OF CITY From Monday'8 Deity. This- morning O. V. Finney, rep resenting the Monarch Engineering Company of Falls City, arrived to look after the work of putting in the bridges in the west portion of the city that have been out of commis sion for the past year or better. One of these bridges is on Maiden Lane, just south of Main street and which has been the cause of great danger to anyone not familiar with the road who might attempt to drive through there. Another of the bridges to he- placed will be one on west Y'ine street near the Second ward school which has been very badly needed for a long time and which will fur nish the residents of that portion of the city an opportunity of getting in and out without the necessity of making long detours.

Wescott Home Last Night Addressed by Judge J. T. Begley. From Tuesday's Daily. The young men's bible school class of the Methodist church met last evening as guests at the home of their teacher. Mr. K. H. Wescott. and the occasion was one of more than usual pleasure and profit as well. IMstrict Judge James T. Peglev gave the members of the class a very thorough discussion of the legal as pects of the trial of Christ, review ing in detail the facts from the stand point of the law. In pretacing his remarks the judge cited a number of the notable trials of ancient and modern history, including the trial of King Charles 1 of Fngland and Captain Alfred Oreyfus of France and from these led to the most strik ing trial of all time -that of t lie Savior before the Jewish and Roman courts of Jerusalem. Judge P.egley explained the three groups that com prised the Sanhedrim the great ju dicial council of the Jews and the facts in the evidence offered against Christ at the time of the trial when he wa.- unjustly accused. Tiie vio lation of the rules of the Jewish law- was pointed out in the trial which was held with only a part of the Sanhedrin in attendance and also the f.tct that Pilate, th.e Roman governor could find no fault with the Christ. and that Herod, the king, could fix no crime at His door. Mr. I5egb-y re cited as showing the illegal aspects of the trial and condemnation. The address was a very able one aud giv en in a manner that made u clear to the voung men. being reviewed from a point ofTiev,- nut often stud ied by the average layman. At this meeting there was also held the annual election of class of ficers, the following being chosen: W. F. Kvers. president : George Hrinklow. vice president; Ward Whelau. secretary; Ha Hie Perry. treasurer and K. H. Wescott. teacher. The remainder of the evening was pent in music, both on the machine and singing and at a suitable hour refreshments were served that added to the enjoyment of the occasion.
