With the Blate setting such an ex ample of wanton extravagance, is ii any wonder the state's subdivisions are suffering from a riot of waste and consequent high taxes? The railroad fare and automobile ex penses of state officials and under lings is today costing Nebraska about as much as the entire expenses of the state government were within the memory of men not as yet of middle ages. At least 5 ptr cent of the Inspectors and "snoopers" and deputies now gallivanting around the state are as useless as a rudder on a lumber wagon. But they draw good salaries, play a lot of politics, draw; fat expense accounts and buy hun dreds of thousands of dollars' worth of railroad mileage books. When Willie E. Reed was attorney general a few years ago he had a couple of assistants, and he accomplished more real work for Nebraska than Is now accomplished by four times as many employes in the state legal de partment" with live times the appro priation allowed to Mr. Reed. The state railway commission started out with three commissioners, a stenog rapher and a clerk or two. Then It had some real authority. Today It is shorn of practically all of its author ity, .but It Is costing the taxpayers from five to six times what It cost during the first three or four years of its existence when It was capable of rendering real service. The code law, which is all right In principle, but altogether wrong In practice under present conditions. Is the most expensive luxury ever foisted upon the taxpayers and the most useless. My election wil mean a railroad commission appropriation cut down to fit the real worth of the commis sion to the people.

And the laws will either be enforced by officers duly elected by the people or there will be a lot of official heads amputated. Will M.

It is! related that In the will of Mr. Al exander Tiereira de Mattos, one1 clause bequeaths to a friend a bookj "which he borrowed many years ago, and has not returned." It is apparent that as the end drew near, the testator was awake . not only to his own transgressions, but more unselfishly, to those which might bring retribution on others for whom he had an affection. Who knows what terrible punishment may be reserved In the next world ' for those who not only covet but elope with their neighbor's books. How could he save his misguided but still cherished friend from reaping the penalty of his errors? To save him from the crime of malappropriation, he would present him with the book! By mentioning this belated present to the recording angel, the whole little affair might be arranged.. It was naturally more than the friend deserved, but the dying man ought to forgive as he hopes to be forgiv en. Mr. Alexander Tiereira de Mattos has given the world a great deal of enjoyment by his scholarly and de lightful translations. In his line he was at the very top of his profes sion. But at the very end he con ferred a special smile on all lovers of books. - :6:- ' how would you like to be a re sponsible official on the United States shipping board and te com pelled to choose between the truth that "strong drink Is raging" and "business is business?" -' Blank books at the Journal OSlee.

PAYING TAXES PAINLESSLY An American archaeologist has unearthed at Thebes, Egypt, a docu ment that may prove a veritable god send to the American taxpayers. It ii an Intimation that an an cient Egyptian tax collector devised a method of taxing people in such a way that it could not be detected so it must hive been a painless ex traction of the pocket nerve. And It is thought that other finds may soon lead to full explanation of this most desired of desiderata. The documents found deal with the period of Ptolemy Philadelphus, econd of the Greek kings of Egypt, who did 246 B. C. It Is related that he and his father laid heavy taxes on parts of Egypt to supply some of the rest of the Hellenic kingdoms, but so carefully adjusted them that the country was not injured, and it Is believed that the documents just discovered will disclose how this was brought about. If this precious knowledge Is dls covered soon enough the perplexed president and his party may find a way to extract the billions and bil liions needed for the bonus from the pockets ot the people without dis turbing them sufficiently to jeopard the next election. The chief objee tion raised to the bonus 13 not that it would cost so much to the people but that his cost would react fatal ly upon the political party that dar ed extort so much from an already overburdened electorate. But again, "ex oriente lux" light from the East. Egypt, the Miser of 2,000 years ago, comes to the politi cal aid of America not then sup posed to exist along the banks of the Stream of the Dead. Old Ptole my seems to have worked u pa de vice or two or to have been taught priests of Theves. The rulers and tax gatherers of the world have always longed for a method of extorting the last penny from their subjects with out the said subjects kicking up a revolt. It Is well known that what we do not know does not worry us very greatly. Therefore, is Ignorance some timeB said to be bliss. Of course, the ultimate consumer, were he or she a person of more than average intelligence, must know that It is he or she that pay3 all the taxes no matter how adroitly they may be comouflaged or sugar-coated. But, unhappily, the "average American" is we : are informed by the scien tists who psychoanalyzed us for pur poses of selection for cannon fod der only a sixth grade individual, or a person or tne intellectual de velopment of a child ,of 12 or 13 years. Wnat snould sucq a mental ity know about taxes, one of the sub tlest and most difficult subjects of human knowledge or tyrannical in genuity? Will he or she be able to work It out that, no matter how or wherein he or she is taxed whether directly or by sales taxes, or thru the tortuous device of the tariff, or thru any other device whatsoever, or howsoever It may be devised pays all the taxes levied by governments and all the profits exacted by com merce and craft? It is too much to expect of any people. The hour in which this hard les son is learned will begin perhaps the reformation of whatever empire, kingdom, republic, township, or san jak in which this more than Colum bian discovery will be made. -:o:- Call at the Journal office for fine gift stationery, in both large and small boxes.
