SCHOOL FINANCE AND MANAGEMENT.
A bill introduced in the legislature may serve to
open the way for. the full examination and consider
ation of one of the most important questions now
before the citizens of Nebraska. School finance and
nfanagement have been discussed on many occasions,
**ut seldom with the broad view that sees the prob
lem as a whole and not with reference to its local
application. The time is at hand when the more
general as well as the purely local phase of the
question should be carefully dealt with.
The bill referred to has for its purpose the es
tablishment of a budget for schools, and intends to
require that the school boards prepare and publish
each year a carefully itemized list of proposed ex
penditures, that the residents of the several dis
tricts may be given due notice of how much money
is to be expended and for what purpose.
On the surface this appears to be a step in the
right direction. It possibly may lead to economies;
it certainly will head off extravagance by warning
the public in advance, and it will stop the door to
the grumbler, who stands on the fact that he did
not know what was going on. Publicity is the great
est of safeguards for public business, and no part
of our social machinery ^serves or requires more
watchfulness than the management of the schools.
But the budget only touches one item in the gen
eral problem. Some further inquiry will lead di
rectly to the center of the school question, that of
financing. We still follow the original, primeval
plan, that of establishing districts separate and inde
pendent each of the other. W'hat little effort has been
made to consolidate districts and bring about a
group management has met with much opposition,
some intelligently selfish and some that will not
measure up to that distinction. Inequalities have
arisen that are all but insurmountable under exist
ing conditions. The establishing of uniform courses
of study, of systematic graduation and specified
qualifications, have produced good results, but can
not be fully applied because of the varying condi
tions under which schools exist in Nebraska.
The question of finance is deeply involved in this.
A recent study of this phase of the question brings
out that: “The assessed valuation per pupil in
average daily attendance ranges from $1,223.53
to $21,362.57 per pupil in average daily attendance.
Here is too wide a variation, and until this dis
crepancy is remedied by some advance on the pres
ent system of financing the public schools of the
state, Nebraska will be open to the further criticism
that is now possible, that is, that 96 per cent of the
teachers employed in the state are inadequately
trained for their profession.
A PROMISING LEGISLATURE.
Though it perhaps is a bit early in the session
to venture definite comment, it does seem that the
Nebraska state legislature is conducting its affairs
in an admirable public spirit. No petty feuds of a
partisan nature have arisen to distract attention
from the serious business of lawmaking. Repub
licans and democrats alike stand ready to consider
the proposals of Governor Bryan on their merits,
not from a party viewpoint but with respect to
what is best for the citizens and taxpayers of the
state.
It is with conditions, not with theories, that our
new state government must deal, and the first fac
tion which allows thoughts of political expediency
or advantage to guide its actions, will thereby lose
the public respect. The responsibility of legislation
is a serious obligation. The best expression of this
feeling was lately given by Governor Cox of Massa
chusetts, in his address to the legislature at Boston.
He concluded in the following words:
‘‘In a time of confusion, when so much of the
world is groping in the dark seeking the avenue
for return to restored happiness and tranquility,
a great responsibility has been placed in our hands.
Ours is the power to legislate for nearly 4,000,000
people. Legislation is the instrument of civiliza
tion to better the conditions of mankind; to restrain
the greedy and vicious; to give equal opportunity
for all to enjoy life, liberty, property, and the right
to work and receive just reward; to protect the
poor and unfortunate; and to encourage men of
talent and genius to minister for the welfare of
humanity.
“Bloody revolutions have often failed to bring as
great benefits as some mighty legislative enact
ment. In our honest purpose to exercise the power
which is ours, let us remember that the laws of
nature, the economic laws, and human instincts
can not be changed by the writing of statutes. Leg
islation can not turn dross to gold. It can not make
the evil good. There can be no substitute for hon
est toil, for thrift and industry, or for character
and integrity. Tlte individual must acquire these
vlrtures for himself. In our endeavor to strengthen the
weak we must not break the spirit of the rugged.
"Let us not, therefore, attempt the impossible
by legislation. Let us gratefully remember that
the great mass of our citizens are sturdy, strong,
Ood-fearing, home-loving, industrious and cour
ageous men and women. Those who believe any
present difficulties to be insurmountable do not
know the character of our people, nor are they
worthy inheritors of the traditions of the preceding
generations, who resolutely and without flinching
met and solved the problems of their day.
“With the desire to preserve, not to destroy, with
the purpose to build up. not to. tear down, with
the endeavor to bring understanding out of distrust
and fear, let us, in devoted service, show that re
sponsibility has been entrusted to worthy sons ami
daughters of old Massachusetts.”
It is with a thoughtful, earnest spirit that the
Nebraska legislature has taken up its duties. The
same broad method of approaching public questions
on the part of the governor should add all that is
necessary for a session full of benefit to the people.
As the Massachusetts executive says, “let us not
attempt the impossible by legislation.” Fewer laws,
but better ones are needed. A correspondent from
Fremont writes that there should be less of the “Be
it enacted” and more of the “Be it repealed.” This
is the general sentiment of the state, and it is a de
mand that public officials should not ignore.
Europe is really learning the virtues of corn as
food, a fact that is indicated by a 40 per cent in
crease in purchase for American corn in the last
year, and that the consumption now is five times
that of the prewar average.
DIVIDED THEY FALL.
Americans struggle in vain to understqpid condi
tions that prevail in Europe. Chaos has followed
the emergence of suppressed nations, and efforts
at self-determination have served so far only to
confound confusion. When Poland, Ukrainia,
Czecho-Slovakia, Jugo-Slavia (now the kingdom of
the Serbs, Croats and Slovenes), Lithuania, Latvia,
Esthonia and Finland came out as republics from
the wreckage of the Russian, Austrian and German
empires, it was hoped that in these republics lib
erty would find a new birth, and freedom for in
dividual would result in good for all.
In some respects the redrawing of the map of
Europe, done at Paris, failed to achieve the happi
ness of the people. A plebiscite to determine na
tionality for Upper Silesia has produced more mis
ery than blessing; Memel was left in such an uncer
tain state that none can say just what it? exact
status is, and over these two bits of territory, for
merly included in Prussia, war is now threatened.
A dispatch from Berlin suggests a new Thirty
Years’ War is beginning.
In the thirty years from 1618 to 1648 all of
Europe was involved in the fighting, which grew
out of the religious upheaval incident to the Ref
ormation. At the end of the thirty years, the
Holy Roman Empire of Germany was broken up;
all of central Europe was desolated, and not a na
tion but had felt the effects of the struggle. Many
other wars followed before the map of Europe as
it existed in 1914 was arranged, but no political di
vision seems to have allayed the national differ
ences that now are blazing as fiercely as ever.
Divided they fall, and unless something like
concord is speedily restored in Europe the horrors
of a long continued succession of small wars may be
again experienced. The situation is a strong argu
, ment for a new council at which a basis for peace
and agreement may be discovered and applied.
The United States is concerned in Memel, for
exnmple, because the control of that bit of sea
coast was awarded by the treaty to the Allied Pow
ers and their Associates, the latter term being in
sisted upon by Mr. Wilson to designate America’s
part in the World War. Memel is of service to
Lithuania, as providing her a “window on the Bal
tic.” It is part of a little strip of Prussia detached
to establish the Free State of Danzig, cut off en
tirely from its mother country, destined to be a
source of dispute and possibly of war, and a cu
rious commentary on the mood in which the map
makers found themselves at Paris.
Reason demands a reassembling at the council
table, where these differences can be adjusted, and
agreement reMfced that will avert what is now a
serious threat to European reorganization.
RELIEF SHOULD BE EXTENDED.
One of the most difficult tasks facing middle
western congressmen is that of convincing eastern
congressmen that money advanced by the govern
ment for reclamation purposes is not lost to the
federal treasury, and that irrigation means vastly
more than merely squirting water on a garden patch
through a hose. During the last twenty years the
federal government has advanced to Nebraska irri
gation areas something like $12,000,000 for the con
struction of irrigation and drainage ditches. About
one-fourth of this amount has been repaid to the
federal treasury to be used again and again in
reclamation projects.
In the North Platte valley alone, where this $12,
000,000 has been expended, the land thus reclaimed
has produced crops worth more than $200,000,000
during the last twenty years, and the towns and
communities builded because of this reclamation
work have afforded markets for many millions of
dollars’ worth of eastern manufactured goods. Just
why the big manufacturing industries of the east
are not interesting themselves in enlarging their
markets by enlarging the scope of the reclamation
service is puzzling to westerners.
Now the farmers under the irrigation canals in
western Nebraska are asking for relief, and the
congress seems utterly indifferent to their just
claims. Many of these farmers are in grave danger
of losing their all because business conditions dur
ing the last two years have made it utterly impossi
ble for them to meet their water payments in addi
tion to paying the maintenance charges. They are
not asking that these payments be remitted. They
are perfectly willing to pay, if given sufficient time.
The government can lose nothing by the delay,
while the farmer will lose everything unless relief
is extended. The North Platte project stands at
the very head of the list of projects in point of re
payments of money advanced. The farmers who
have made this splendid record are entitled to far
more than the temporary relief so grudgingly of
fered by congress. Their claims are just, and to
grant them would mean their assured prosperity and
the greater prosperity of the entire country.
De Freycinet may be old and feeble, and all but
forgotten, but he still retains -his faculty for de
fending his views.
A man who has been away from Omaha twenty
years expresses amazement at the changes. He

Are the War Grafters T6 Be
< Punished ?
From the New
Possible we are unduly sceptical, but we cannot bring
ourselves to believe that the indictment of Mr. Crowell
and other members of the emergency construction
committee will lead to any substantial results. We have
no doubt whatever that, the government was grossly
and scandalously plundered by numbers of contractors
during the war period. Nor do We doubt that the offl
cers of the administration were often culpably negligent
in permitting the plundering to go on. But we have not
forgotten* the circumstances of the period. Before the
declaration of war America appeared as a giant of vast
potential power but with no certain control of nerves
and muscles. The forces of America had to be organ
ized and brought to bear at once. Money was to be had
like water by a stroke of the congressional pen; but the
great need was for guns, uniforms, cantonments, ships,
and no stroke of a pen could produce these. Naturally
the attitude of the officers of the administration was
that money mattered very little, so long as the goods
were forthcoming In the briefest possible time. And so
they grasped at the cost-plus system and under it
placed contracts wherever they thought production
would proceed quickly. There W'as hideous waste
of money, and worse, but America did exhibit a co
ordinated energy that neither our enemies nor our
friends believed possible. We are not in the least cer
tain that equal energy would have been exhibited if
we had proceeded by peace time methods of carefully
drawn specifications, competitive bidding, scrutiny and
rescrutiny of bids, contracts drafn in sextupllcates,
etc. We might have saved money and lost the war. All
this, however, does not subtract a tittle from the shame
of the men who seized upon the national crisis as an
opportunity for enriching themselves. They pretended
to be patriots. They were traitors, and ought to be in
Leavenworth instead of the 1. W. W.’s whose offense
against the American nation was as nothing compared
to that of the looters of the treasury.

Lincoln.—To the Editor of The
Omaha Bee: I have Just now read the
editorial in The Omaha Bee entitled
"Upshaw's Crusade for Honesty." I
want to thank you for the strong
pronouncement set forth in the edi
torial.
We are going to get better enforce
ment of the law and, indeed. I think',
an improvement is already taking
place. People are going to recognize
more and more that the prohibition
law should be obeyed just like any
other law, and this by the so-called
"higher ups” as well as other classes.
Such editorials as the one referred
to above are positively helpful in
creating this better condition of af
fairs, and we thank you for it.

Omaha.—To the Editor of The
Omaha Bee: A letter in the “Peo
ple's Voice’’ column, signed by one
“R. M. Fiala.’’ severtdy denounced a
backer of Fatty Arbuckle for his
policy in doing so.
Now, to make tills argument a lit
tle more interesting, I wish to ask
Mr. Fiala if he Was ever the victim
of circumstantial evidence, or, failing
in this, has he ever taken the trou
ble to find out how many victims of
circumstantial evidence were inno
cent?
If we do not care to see his pic
tures, all we have to do is stay away
from the theater showing them. There
are many people who believe Arbuckle
innocent of the charge against him,
and there are many who believe him
guilty. Which merely goes to show
that this incident, as well as others,
has two sides to it.
Butt> perhaps, Fiala is like a fish
among'a school of fish; wherever the
school goes he goes, he dares not
break away and pursue an indepen
dent course, he fears the current of
the stream, and in this particular case
public opinion. He therefore an
nounces that he and his little town
are against this victim of circumstan
tial evidence.
They say, give him no mercy, put
him out and keep him out.
Let Arbuckle come back, whether
or not he is wanted will be evidenced
by the ticket box receipts. If he must
be condemned, let that be the way,
and not by a few prejudiced persons.

Why Belong to a Political Party?
ScottsblufT, Neb.—To the Editor of
The Omaha Bee: In these days of
reckless thought and speech and of
academic learning, when men talk in
dependence of party principle, it Is
well to stop and ponder “whither are
we drifting.” The history of the
world is ours to guide oijr feet. It is
the history of the world that inde
pendence of party principle leads to
socialism and socialism leads to an
archy.
To our representatives in legislative
halls must we look to preserve our in
dependence—men who solve their
problems by the light of experience.
A political party stands for prin
ciples, not for men, but through men ,
it must act. By uniting upon certain I
principles we accomplish that which
we desire. If enough good men af
filiated with a party insist, on their
principles they will control and run
the government. A party Is what the
individuals who compose it make It.
Stay out of a party, vote Indiscrimi
nately and nothing is accomplished.
In a monarchy ponies are made for
the people. In a republic people
made their own politics.
Since the dawn of our republic we
have had two great political parties
which have shaped our destinies. The
independent voter may now and then
have elected a good man to office
who may have done his individual
work well, but it left no lasting im
pression on a party principle. All
our great statesmen have belonged to
some party, for it was there they
could fight for a principle that would
endure. .
Every man or woman must take a
part In a republic to be a good citizen,
and he or she must help to make it
a good government. Choose the party
to which you wish to belong, be it
republican or democrtic. Both have
been great parties and both have
stood for certain principles. The re
publican party that stands for the
principles of Washington. Hamilton,
Clay, Webster, Marshall, Lincoln and
Roosevelt; or the democratic party,
that stands for the principles of Jef
ferson, Calhoun, Cleveland, Watson
and Wilson, are yours to choose from.
Study the principles of each party
and choose and vote for principles, for
upon principles our government is
founded and fostered. Choose for your
party the one that stands nearest your
principles, work to have your princi
ples adopted and elect men bound to
principle. Help run your own gov
ernment. Men have crept Into office
In all parties that were unworthy,
principally because men, good and
true, did too much Independent vot
ing without fixing upon the office
seeker a responsibility of principle.
Fight for principles and not for men,
and you reed have no fear of the fu
ture. A. H. HONNOLD.
The Present Financial Situation.
Lincoln.—To the Editor of The
Omaha Bee: To trace to its major
cause the world's chaos that now ex
ists is not difficult. To the un
prejudiced mind it may be made
as plain as that 2 and 2 make 4.
The world is bankrupt. In debt
beyond its capacity to pay. In Europe,
national, municipal, corporate and in
dividual debts aggregate a sum
greater than the tota! value of all
property. In the United States, the
total of like debts is two-thirds the
fair cash value of all property, with
an annual Interest, now, more than
$7,000,000,000—the total debts and in
terest annually increasing. For one
to understand whaf $7,000,000,000,
payable annually to the money lend
ers, means, there are less than $7,000,
000.000 of money in the United States
Money is the life blood of olvill£i

without it. It has made practical the

legal sanction for this! Also while
hoarding it, to issue a substitute for

H. H. McCoy: The unprecedented
action of the French government In
repudiating the good q/flces of the gov
ernment of the United States and that
of Great Britain in the,matter of the
French-German reparations contro
versy and the subsequent invasion by
France of German territory, occupy
ing the Ruhr district, has had a so
bering effect on the people of Harlan
county. The French policy has
evoked much criticism and some disre
gard for the future integrity of the
French people, also some appre
hension as to the ultimate outcome of
such drastic measures, thought by our
people to be wholly unnecessary and
unwarranted unde^the circumstances.
Ogailall News.
C. A. Goodall: Sentiment of western
Nebraska and Keith county regarding
the occupation of the Ruhr is that
France has moved wisely, providing
the actions of her soldiers toward civ
ilian* is guarded with greatest care.
France is entitled to the coal Ger
many promised: as Germany did not
make deliveries as agreed, France
commits no wrong by peacefully
making Germany live up to her agree
ments. The sooner the reparations
stipulations have been fulfilled the
sooner peaceful Industry will again
hum in Europe. Everyone believes
America should keep hand^ off.
McCook Tribune.
F. M. Kimmel: The sentiment of
this community, as expressed In many
instances upon the invasion of the
Ruhr is that our good friend and ally,
France, has not only alienated it
self from the favorable sentiment and
support of America and England, Its
chief supporters in the crisis of the
world war, but has embarrassed and
endangered the whole European sit
uation.
Imperial Republican.
W. J. Reynolds: France has made
mistakes in the past, but invasion of
the Ruhr district is the most fool
hardy. It will alienate the rest of the
powers. The damage to France in
the world war is well known, but this
manner of collecting reparations will
not meet with approval.
Palmer Journal.
In its seemingly heartless course
France remembers the treatment it
received at the hands of Germany
when conditions were reversed, also
what it might now expect had the
central powers won in the world war.
It is the fortune of war and Germany

take in entering German territory.
forced to go to the money lenders, in
curring interest bearing debts, to put
a medium of exchange in circulation
—95 per cent of which is bank credit,
a checking system—a substitute for
money—loaning the latter, legalized
by law, for 10 to 20 times the quanti
ty of the money hoarded.
Thus the hoarding of money, plac
ing it where it cannot be obtained in
exchange for services and property—
obtained only by contracting debt to
get it, or, its makeshift substitute—
becomes an automatic"debt-making ma
chine. The debts it has created in
the United States are now more than
$100,000,000,000, with a frightful an
nual toll to the money lenders, result
ing in the paralysis and derangement
of our civilization. These debts are
legally collectable! Court judgments,
executions, foreclosures and trustees’
sales are, for the body politic, the ex
ecutioner's ax, the guillotine and the
headsman’s block!
The remedy lies, mainly, with our
national congress, but it will come
slow, due to a majority of its mem
bers being connected with money lend
ing, or attorneys for money lenders.
In the meantime it becomes the duty
of each state to exercise its sever-,
eign power to protect its people as
best it can in dealing with the cause
that is creating anarchy and the
threatened dissolution of our civiliza
tion. This Is one way a sovereign

HOMER EARL.
“A foolish move," “ France has no
business in Germany,” “France would

A few say "France is justified," but
the general opinion seems to be that

only Its own interest, but the cause

Gordon Journal.
Dwight P. Griswold: I believe the
sentiment of this community is that
France T9 foolish to attempt to settle
its troubles by the further use of
force. If Germany should turn on
France 1 do not think public senti
ment would allow the United States
to intervene.
Lindsay Post.
H. J. Whilacre: France's invasion
of the Ruhr Is practically certain to de
feat its own object. Cut off from her
industrial wealth, Germany cannot
possibly pay the reparation named
in the peace treaty. It Is highly pos
sible the move may prove disastrous
to France: most certainly she has lost
the sympathy of her most able allies.

Common Sense
Discipline Yourself to Save Regularly.
These days a lot is written about
“self discipline.’'
But the greatest need of self dis
cipline lies in spending money.
There is need of control, of desire
to pdsaess.
Too many limit themselves only to
what they can pay for.
Some do not stop at the ability to
pay In their desire "to possess.”
It is easier—more comfortable to
spend five dollars for what is wanted,
than it is to deny and save the five
dollars. .
It is impossible to save money, no
matter what your income, unless you
exert some self-denial and use self
discipline.
An uncontrollable desire for every
thing within your means is not the
way to save money.

Did Your Ford Start
l Hard This Morning?
Hard starting and poor performance in cold weather
have always been bad enough, but these difficulties
become worse each year because of fuel conditions.
Spark plugs with the ordinary smooth-surface por
celain permit an accumulation of soot, particularly
when the choker is used to any extent. Upon Stop
ping the engine in cold weather the gummy deposit
on the surface of the porcelain will harden, causing
short circuit and making it almost impossible to start.
These troubles of hard starting and poor perform
ance are experienced in cold weather by most motor
ists and particularly with old cars.
Many motorists resort to priming, but no amount
of priming will start a motor in which the plugs are
shorted with carbon.
With AC 1075 Carbon Proof Plugs the saw-tooth
edges of the high temperature fins do not permit the
carbon to accumulate over the entire surface, as these
thin edges heat up rapidly and burn away the soot
before it turns to carbon. This effectively breaks up
short circuits, makes for easier starting and a better
running engine.
