ilotely atudied by France, from which fart much of
encouragement for Germany may ba gained.
On Friday of laat week tht Germant celebrated
With aomething of national enthutlaim tha third an
nlvertary of tha adoption of tha conttitutlon and the
definite eetabliahment of tht republic. A momentoua
featurt of tha occatlon wat tha mettaga of cordial
goad will and alnctrt friendship from tht preaident
of tht Unlttd Statei to tht president of tht German
republic. Pretldent Harding addreued Pretident
Ebert thuii
On thla annlvaraary of the day whan (lermany
adopted tha republican form of govarnmant 1 am
happy to expreaa to you my aim-are ood wlnhra
, and my hopa that tha frtat Oarman rapuhllu may
go ataadlly forward along tha patha of paaca
which laad to good undoratandlng and proaperlty
and happlneaa.
The felicity of thia mettage ia not alone in itt
phraaing, but in tht fact that It aimply and clearly
expreuet tht attitude of thinking Americana toward
Gtrmany. It emphaiim what wat aald by Mr. Wil
ton in tht beginning of tht war, that wa were not
fighting tht German people, but a militarlatic impcr
itlltm, which hai disappeared. Thote people now
art ttruggling mightily with problema that call for
tho mott devoted courage. How wall tht attitude of
our government toward theirt la appreciated in Ber
lin may bo noted in thete wordt from Chancellor
Wlrth to Ambastador Houghton, in referenct to tht
adjuatment of clalmi between tha two countries :
.... Tha German government ia con
vinced of the Intention of tha American aovarn
ment to carry out In an accommodating and juat
manner tha quaatlona of the aettjemeiit atlll to
i ba eolved betwaan tha two atatea ioncarned. , . .
Tha German government bellavea that tha d In
tra t of natlona toward one another, brought about
by the war, and tha tevera economic damages
which It cauaed to all oountrlea concerned, can
be moat certainly dona away with if thcae coun
trleo try to approach tha solution of tha questions
which have arisen between them as a contiequence
of tho war in a generous manner and in tho spirit
of mutual accommodation. Tha German govern
ment waleomaa the fact that the American gov
. ernment Intends to take the initiative in thla con
nection. Such expressions can not bt mistaken, Tht war
it ovtr, ao far as Our government and that of Ger
many art concerned, and the renewal of the tradi
tional friendship between the two peoples is pro
ceeding apact.
fi; REFORM IN ASSESSMENT METHODS.
Tax Commissioner Osborne, defending the rev
nna law of Nebraska, placet responsibility for loss
im value of intangibles on the assessors. This asser
tion of tht commissioner contains enough of merit
to warrant examination.
Ont of tho difficulties encountered in the collec
tion of taxes it to uncover the property that is sub
ject to tax. Real property, that is visible can be lo
cated and listed without muih effort, although some
time tht weakness of the asktssor uystem, or rather
itt application in practice, is exhibited in the dis
parity of values obtained from the tax rolls. These
Inequalities are subject to correction as the rolls are
rtviatd by the reviewing board, but even that method
dot sot product tht exact and equitable relation de
tirtd between tha various classes of real estate.
Intangibles are not so easily isolated and de
termined. Even tht federal government, with its
mighty power, possessed of inquisitorial and punitive
authority , ia not abla to secure all that should be
listed. Those who are determined to evade the pay
ment af taxes on a certain proportion of their prop
erty, tucceed quite as frequently at they fail. The
sporting chance is there, and too many are inclined
to take it.
Studenta of tax problems have laid down several
broad rules to govern the process of revenue raUing.
Not all of th have been applied In Nebraska. The
Omaha Bee has no Intention of condemning the as
sessor system, nor of subscribing to the commis
sioner's suggestion that the local assessor it exclu
sively responsible for the evasion of taxation by cer
tain claates of property, or to adopt his further pro
posal that tht office of assessor be done away with,
and the matter of listing property be turned over to
tht county clerk. Obvious objections to this course
art many. Yet tht Nebraska revenue law in all its
bearing deserves close and intensive study, that Im
provements may bt madt hrt needed,

THE PLATFORM AND TICKET.
with tht adoption of a republican platform at
the statt convtntion at Lincoln, which officially
launches tht fall campaign, tht voten of Nebraska
turn to careful scrutiny of both platform and candi
dates. Tht two art ao obviously allied that they
can not and should not bt considered separately.
Tht two mott important considerations aro whether
tht platform It a construrtlvt program, and whether
the candldatea art capable of putting inta operation
that program.
Among tht many important planks embodied In
tht republican platform art thost dealing with ttxa-
tion and tht direct primary. On the prohibition
question tha republican platform provides for tht
maintenance and enforcement of tha Volstead law,
Thli section of tho platform makes no effort to
"r atch" votei.
On tht complex and vexatious problem of taxation
tht republican party In Nebraska goes before tht
voters not alone with a vague promise to reduce
taxes. Republican officials have by good buslnest
methods reduced tht taxes in Nebraska 33 1-3 per
cent, and this despite tht prevailing high price era.
A political party may for tha purpost of attracting
votes blandly promise to reduce taxes, but tha tt
publican party hat already accomplished that, and
faithfully pledget to ao conduct public affairs to fur
ther refluce taxation if by ao doing thero It no dan
ger of weakening the school tystem, of hampering
tht farming and buslnest interests of tht ttatt, and
of tha bringing about of loose and slipshod methods
in public business. On this question tht republican
party goes to tht voten with a bill of particulars, of
accomplishments performed.
The republican platform unhesitatingly declares
for the direct primary system of nominating candi
dates, and, we believe, thla fairly represents the sen
tlment of a vast majority of the voters. Concurrence
in a majority sentiment and a majority vote of all
of tht voters la a fundamental principle of tht re
publican party which hat and will be upheld.
Other plankt in the republican state platform
may be of almost equal importance with thost herein
enumerated, and aa the campaign progresses all of
those questions will bt frankly placed before tht
Nebraska electorate.
The ,men composing tht republican state ticket
are well known to the voters of the statt. They
have long taken a keen interest in public affairs, and
their personal record in privatt business affairs is
sufficient guarantea that public business will be in
capable, efficient and honest hands. When public
business is conducted with the tama honest manage
ment that is applied to private business, then every
dollar of taxes paid will bring a return of a dollar
value in materials and service. The men on the re
publican ticket will render auch service.
With the voters bearing these facts in mind there
can bo no doubt that the entire republican ticket will
be elected on November 7, with absolute assurance
hat every platform utterance will be faithfully car
ried out.
PRIMARY VOTE IN MISSISSIPPI.
Abide from the closeness of the result, the pri
mary election contest in Mississippi holds some in
terest for the country. First, it indicates a prefer
ence on part of the voters for James K. Vardaman,
despite his record and that Woodrow Wilaon recently
denounced him as unworthy of support. Mississippi
democrats know better than any outsider who they
want in the senate, and if Vardaman is their choice,
the rest of the country will put up with him. The
other interesting fact is that it brought out an un
commonly heavy vote. In 1920 James M. Cox re
ceived but 69,277 votes, that many democrats show
ing interest in who was to be president of the United
States. The republican vote was 11,576, which is
about normal under conditions. This time, however,
some excitement was occasioned nnd almost 150,000
democrats took the trouble to go to the polls and
vote. Mississippi may yet get to be a real lively cen
ter of politics.
WHILE THE WEATHER IS HOT.
This is old stuff, but it is good. A considerable
hot wave is just now manifesting itself in these parts.
Our weather man says he thinks the peak has passed.
Let us hope so, but, while waiting for the thought to
develop, try to keep cooL Help in this direction will
be derived from frequent bathing, avoiding excite
ment, refraining from worry, eating moderately, and
drinking freely of clear, cool water.
This advice has been peddled for many years, and
it never fails to help any who follow it. Stewing
about the weather doesn't reduce the temperature.
Keep your mind on your work, and you will soon
forget the physical discomfort of the day in tht in
terest you have in the task you art engaged upon.
No charge is made for this prescription, but if
you follow it you will escape much of the worst effect
of a hot spell.

The Women Are Voting

ae
tait.
In this week's "Digest" there-is shown
the first tabulation of votes received from the.
2,200,000 ballots sent to women. "They're
wetter than the men!" announced a sur
prised tally-taker in the counting-room,
after making the first tabulation. Since that
time, however, the poll has shown a con
sistent tendency towards "dryness." The
2,200,000 women who are now being polled
appear for the most part on the voters' lists
of the country, whereas the main Digest
poll, as previously explained, is founded on
telephone lists, and several publicists have
argued that the general voters' lists would
show a slightly less responsible class of
citizens, and therefore, one more likely to
favor "wetness" and the Soldiers' Bonus.
On the other hand, it seems to have been
generally conceded that a poll of women
would produce a "dryer" sentiment than a
poll in which men predominate, as is true of
the main poll now being taken.
There is also a tabulation in this week's
Digest, showing how women are voting on
the Bonus. While anti-bonus advocates are
not especially cheered, judging by the
general trend of their comment, the more
extreme of the American Legion weekly
papers, all faithful adherents of the measure,
are greatly disappointed, and suggest various
explanations.
Be sure to read The Digest this week
because the tabulation of women's votes
presents a new angle upon the huge national
poll now being taken.
