The democratic atate central committee ia sponsoring falae figures that purport to ahow that atate taxea conatitute one-half or more of the total tai collections. Thia ia done by combining the atate tax and tha county tax and presenting the total aa going entirely to the atate. The unfortunate fact that atate and county taxca are consolidated on the tax receipta, Instead of being aeparated and itemised. haa been eeized on with intent to deceive. One of the flagrant misrepresentations that ia uaed by Charles W. Ilryan in hia campaign talka and which waa printed in an editorial in the World-Her ald, cotM-erna the taxea of Take L. Jergensen, a farmer of Merrick courtly. The democratic propa ganda makes the following claim: "On hia qunrter auction farm lila total taxes In crea! from 176.17 to I3O0.S2, and the atitt taxea Jmluil'il In thla aniuunt Inrreuaed (mm $44.43 to 1102 90. When Mr. JiTKinmn atudlee Mi receipt, and fliida thut In 1921 more than liulf of all the taxea he ' lil waa alworbed by the atate government at Lincoln, he wondcre whore AkKidvIe, Knndull, tow rll t Co. get thnt tulk nbotft the atate taking only J per cent." Thia if downright falsehood. At the time, the democratic agent waa obtaining the tax figures, he was told by the county treasurer that the $102.00 included both county and atate levies. The books in the county court house at Central City show the atate tax on Mr. Jergenacn'a farm in 1921 to have amounted to $56 60. The democratic envoy, however, added to this the county tax of $45.40, thus obtaining a total of $102. It is a fact incapable of diaproof that out of each dollar collected as taxea the atate government of Nebraska receives only 19 cents. There are indeed some individual and local cases where the state's levy is larger end, according to the law of averages, there are just as many instancea in which the state receives only 14, 17 or 18 centa out of the tax dollar. Following ia a tabulation of taxes collected in Nebraska for the, various division of government for the last year: State , ... 110.930.547.82 County 11,968,795.10 School .A 24,360,444.19 Township ......x.. ...j 1,652,244.25 ; City and Village 9,171,470.32 SUGAR FOR THE SORORITIES. The first bag of Nebraska sugar made in the 1922 campaign haa been sent to Lincoln, where it will be transformed into fudge, pinoche, and other dainty forma by the sorority girl who are beneflciariea of the donation. Something peculiarly appropiate is seen in this, for if there ia anything sweeter than a Nebraska school girl it is two, and it ia cstab. liihed beyond doubt that those who reach the un. vorsity and "make" a sorority have had full Initia tion in that course of rookery which has to do with fudge and the like. And, aa long' aa the girla are going to make fudge, and no career of higher edu cation these day ia complete without it, they ahould use Nebraaka sugar. Time waa, bark in the dark agea, when draught t the fountain of knowledge were unflavored by sugar or anything of the sort. Student frequently went without food, and the comfort of a fire wa an almost unknown luxury. We do thing much better nowadays, and while the mind I trained in all the subtleties of advanced learning, the body is austalnad and the aoul cheered by creature comfort of which the item of fudge I far from being a negligible ele ment. The gift of the aack of lugar to the aororlty wa well bestowed. Iy WEiL 6 WAT scott.'N t A nu W04.W. WAIT FOt I I , VM 'PI ATTtR. TH' J TT1 W 1 I l tl m Li OAili'k A Zi. .. DISCOURAGING TO BANDITS. A bard working, capable bank robber stands very littlo ahow of getting ahead in bis business at Eureka Springs, Ark. Citizen there seem to be prejudiced on the point, and manifest their disapproval after a fashion and by such means as really are discouraging to the bandit.. Somehow their conduct reminds one of the reception accorded the Dalton boy and their comrade at Coffeyvllle, Kan., some thirty year ago, only the Eureka Springs score is a trifle higher. At Coffeyvllle only two were killed outright, and these both fell (o the shooting of a livery stable keeper. At the affair in the Arkansas town two were killed, one wounded so that he died and two others wounded so they could not get away, making the bag complete. A jeweler and a lawyer accounted for the dead, showing the advantages of education in such cases, the trained mind behind the trigger finger being most effective. If it is in order to pre sent a medal of some kind, such as the distinguished service order, to these men, we move that such a course be followed. At any rate, the citizen of that little community did a good job and aet an example that might be emulated with benefit in other and larger places. It would not take a great many episodes of the sort to terminate the flourishing industry of bank robbery.

From th at. Loul Oroba-Detnoerat. The conatllutlonal convention of Illinois, which completed Ita labora not long ago, after more than a year of deliberation, haa' lusued on ad dres to the votera of tha atate.-who will pass upon, lta work at an election to be held In December, There are many feature of the constitution proposed by thla body that ahould be of Interest to Mixsourl, whoae representative are now engaged in a similar task, but it conrluaiona on the important and difficult problem of taxation, to which it evidently !?nve much careful study, should be of value. The aueatlon of the seDaration of the tangible from the intangible ob jects of taxation, with different rates and methods of assessment for each,. , Total .....158,073,601.68 These figures are accurate. They have never been disputed directly. Those who are carrying on the campaign of deception carefully avoid discuss ing them and rely entirely on innuendo and fiction. Their hand now is gradually being forced by in formed public opinion. They have been 'driven to admit that perhaps the state only gets 19 cents out of the tax dollar In cities, but that it takes more than thia from the farmer. ' Let us test out this dodge In the great agricul tural county of Buffalo. Official statistic show that the state receives only 19 cents out of each tax dol lar there. That is 1 per cent less than the average for the state. In another county almost purely rural, Ximball county, the state receives its 19 cents, while the county receives 28 cents and the school districts take 43 cents. In Madison county the state tax is only 17 cents out each dollar of taxes. In Keha Faya county the state gets 20 cents; the county, 37 cents, and the schools 41 cents. Designed as a political trick to antagonize vot era against the republican state administration, this corresponds with the idea that anything is justified if it wins votes. There is, however, something more than partisan considerations to be taken into ac count. Taxes have been high in Nebraska state, county, school, townhip and city. The special session of the legislature reduced state taxes by one-third. It is up to the local subdivisions to match this cut, or better it wherever possible. Local taxes, which con sume 81 cents out of every tax dollar, will not be re duced unless public attention is centered on the mat ter. To allow democratic politicians or local officials to hide the local tax issue and point to the state treasury as responsible for the leak in the taxpayers' pocketbook is not only to be tricked, but to prevent the reduction of taxes at home the very place where most can be done and least has been done. WHAT OMAHA MAKES. Whatever helps your neighbor helps you. Cities are built on the prosperity of their citizens. x For these reasons Omaha is interested in the an nouncement that another "Made-in-Oroaha" show is about to be staged. It will be a course of inten sive training for a lot of citizens. A great many who were out last season will recollect what they saw then, and will' go back to see it alf over, while many who did not attend may find time to do so now. Somehow, an idea prevails that Omaha is not much of a manufacturing town. People think of Jhe great packing houses, the butter-making plants, our huge cracker bakeries, and one or two similar food- producing concerns, and let it go at that. As to the existence of anything like an industrial center here, most folks are astonished when they get the figures. As a matter of fact, the output of Omaha factories runs into the hundreds of millions each year; not only is food turned out, ready to go on the table, but clothing, machinery, chemical compounds, paints, furniture, and a long list of other useful and. con venient articles are made in Omaha factories. , Moreover, these articles find ready sale and have a high standing where they are sold. Many of them are well known at home, but others have not as yet been extensively pushed in the city where they are produced. The point of interest is that a manufac turing interest is growing up in Omaha, developing each year in importance, and slowly but surely giv ing stability to the underlying support of every suc cessful center of population, that of the payroll, which makes local business good. The "Made-in-Omaha" show should have its full share of public attention when its doors open in No vember. KEMAL AND CONSTANTINOPLE. Mustapha Kemal Tasha, victorious leader of the Turk nationalists, supports his demands in connec tion with Constantinople on logical reasoning. He claims th city because it is the capital of his coun try; he submits that the security of the capital dt-, penda on th security of the Dardanelles, the Sea of Marmora and tha Bosphorua. Thus the keeping of the atraita ahould be in Turkiah control. What Kemal avoids in presenting his caie ia the fact that the Turk la not nor ha ever been a trust worthy member of the family of nation. During the cuturi he has held thla important portion en th map, sitting at the gateway between Kurope and Asia, he has been a menace al all time.

Omaha' Automobile club is conducting a drive for additional membership. Its appeal can not be made to the public, although the public is greatly concerned in what it does through ita various commit tees. Unofficial and svithout authority, other than that which goes with good citizenship, the Omaha Automobile club has exerted considerable determin ing influence for'good over the city's street and the county's highways. Road building haa been watched, and the club has taken part in the proceedings all the way along the line, from Inception to the final approval of the finished job, and many thousand of dollars have been saved the tax payer because of this vigilance. The club aUo haa labored in many other ways to improve not only the thoroughfares of the community, but the ue of them. It ha aited In formulating and enforcing traffic rules and regu lations, that driving as well a walking la n.aii aafer. Those are benefit the public haa from the club. What are th ptivile and advantag-ce of member ship enjoyed ly th mtmbera, only they ran tell, but they mut be of moment, for they have been taught after by a goodly number of prominent motorist a. The pt'Jevt ef th drive I t give the (tub greater memWrahip, U the n that it may be of greater sen Ice, 4 f f this rao ll ought te succeed. number of years. This separation haa been advocated by many of the wisest atudents of the taxation prob lem, but It haa been strongly op posed by the majority of people who see In it a violation of the principle of equality In taxation. In prin clple the objection is sound. In practice the principle defeats Itself. For experience haa proved continu ously that under the present nystem equality cannot be preserved under any law or any rorm or activity of administration. The effort to main tain equality as between tangible and Intangible rroperty haa . never failed to compel Inequality. The theory of equality is that all forme of property shall he taxed at tne same rate. Tangible property land. houses, agricultural machinery, cat tie, household furniture and all such objects as cannot be readily con cealed cannot easily evade taxa tion if the aesessora perform their duty, and equality aa to taxatiin of all of these forms of property may be fairly maintained But tangible property, property such as money, bonds, notes,, mort gages and Jewels, usually escapes taxation, wholly or In part, because it may be concealed and Its posses sion denied. Comparatively little of this class of property is taxed. All taxation Is accepted as a necessary infliction. Few there are wno pay a tax bill, however Just, with pleas ure, and th temptation to evade taxation when it is possiDie, ana particularly so when It ia consid ered unjust, la one to which most men, however scrupulous otherwise, will ruidlly yield. Tnereiore prop erty that the assessor cannot die cover is seldom reported for taxation, or, if reported, It ia usually at a fraction of its real value. There are. indeed, many rorma or sucn nroDertv whose value would be de stroved if the holder were compelled to Dav taxes upon tnem at tne iuu rate charged to 'other property. A share of stork, for example, paying tier cent dividends, if assessed at its face or market value, would com pel the payment of taxes mat woum take ao large a share of the divi dends aa to deprive it of value aa an Investment. And aa most of such forms of property depend for their value unon the Interest or proflta derived from them, taxation at tn same rate as other property amount often tn a virtual confiscation or anrh returns. Moreover, these are. aa a rule, but paper representatlvee of real and tangible property mat is directly taxed upon Its asiesea value, and the tax upon tho paper la commonly regarded aa a double taxation, not Justified in equity. For theas renaona most men iil war ranted In withholding auch form of property from assessment. v nether they ar really warranted or not does not alter th fact thnt aa a rule they do not report auch property and ar therefor not taxed on it at ail. Th lllino la constitutional ronven- linn therefor wisely reached th conviction that It waa better to deal Hh a condition practically than to Insist unon an Impracticable princi pie, and provide for tn iaruon or taneini irvni iiuanmmu i.ri- artr and lh aucaament and taxation of th latter upon a different tl.

To what extent this presump tion la Justified can be proven only by experience, but certainly to the extent to which auch property Is reported revenuea would be derived from thla source that ere not now obtainable at all, and the ratea on tangible property could be propor tionately diminished. There ia no doubt that the preaent ayatem la In equitable and cannot be made equit able. The reform proposed would promote equity and possibly estab lish It. Ohio's Dry-Law Referendum From th New Tork World: .The supreme ceurt of Ohio has ordered the secretary of state to place iiu vicinvua j L anntrnnilirilL lur Pcil,'i has been a live one In Missouri for aP1"1 the Nvember 1)411104 proposal. legally framed and presented, ao to amend the atate constitution as to per mit the manufacture and Bale- of light wine and beer. Jt would seem that this Is a legiti mate question for Ohio votera to puss on If the requisite number ao desire. Hut a law-defying eecretary of state refused, until ordered, to certify tha amendment for a votet and the Anti Saloon league that terrorized hfmwlll appeal to the United fitates supreme court to aet aside the decision of the highest state tribunal, something it is always reluctant to do. That such an amendment, if adopted and followed by the appropriate legis lation, might conflict with the Vol stead act ia quite true. But it would tiot conflict with the federal eight eenth amendment. That clumsily drawn appendix to the constitution, for the first time In American history, directs that congress and the states shall have "concurrent power" to en force a federal amendment which turns on the definition of the word "intoxicating" aa applied to beverages. State action cannot affect the eight eenth amendment, but it can aid in a common-sense definition of "intoxi cating." Such state enactments aa the Mullan-Gaga law in Hew York tighten the chains. It is under that law that the police in New York city, for instance, are acting. But the Vol stead act Is now sacred.' If enough states show discontent with the pres ent reign of wood alcohol and hypoc risy It can be and will be modified by an interpretation of the amend ment' at once more liberal and more possible of enforcement for true tem perance, Concerning Million-Dollar Pictures From tha Chicago Journal: Rembrandt's "Descent From the Cross," believed by many to be the finest work of that marvelous painter, has come to the famous Widener col lection In America. The purchase price is not given, but it Is said to be between $500,000 and $1,000,000. Mr. Widener now has at his residence in North Philadelphia the largest col lection of Kembrandts outside of Hol land. ( All these great collections go to the public in time, and usually, in Amer ica, In a comparatively short time. The purchase of such a masterpiece, therefore, is a patrlotlo service and should be recognized aa auch. Admit ting and honoring the motive, there ia a legitimate question whether such a purchase doea aa much for Ameri can art and artlstlo appreciation aa the same aum spent on the best worka of living American painter. No dtigmatla answer ran ba given, but the weight of opinion probably would favor the purchase of Ameri can worka aa th grentiT service.

Flrat let us oak what did they do the two yeara and five months flacking one week) they were in power after the armistice waa aigned. Well, Just a little more than nothing, but not much. What has been done since? Nearly two and a quarter billions has been spent In care of and in training them for vo cational life. There haa been paid to disabled men or their dependents nearly 1500,000, 000, nearly 300,000 huve been in th hospltuls, 26.000 are there now. and 99.000 are in vocational schools: all thla haa cost hundreds of millions and there ta no outcry against the cost. Nearly 1100,000.000 is aet aside for hospital construction and enrp, yet this la only a small part of the whole of the aid that haa been g'ven to date. Then take the states.
