Everyone wants to go to heaven, and Nebraska ’might seem much like that celestial spot if it were not for taxes. It is to this feeling that Governor Bryan appeals as a prophet. On his unsupported statement that by the adoption of his program state taxes will be reduced $9,000,000 in the next two years and 150 employes will be removed from the state payroll, he asks the people of the state to snow the legislature under with postcards demand ing his plan be adopted without change. There is too much of the" air of hocus pocus about this proceeding. After getting together a hodge-podge assortment of forty-five bills, the gov ernor malfes a few passes over them and informs the public that they will accomplish a miracle. What lie actually did is to have his private secretary tear out page after page of the old code law, paste them up and make a number of alterations between the lines and on the margins. In place of the code secretaries he wrote his own name, and provided for the appointment of deputies to do the work. If these provisions are adopted he will have more power* than any king and his duties will run all the way from bank commissioner to hgad game warden and state veterinarian. Some say that it is power that the governor lusts after. Others believe that his intensely sus picious nature leads him to distrust ail men and to feci that unless he establishes a one-man govern ment he can not succeed. Throughout his career he has demonstrated his inability to work wdth others. Elected on the democratic ticket to serve with a republican legislature, he immediately set about, not to establish some basis of co-operation, hut to put the legislative branch of the govern ment at a disadvantage. If, after taking office, he had called in the re publican legislators and discussed the problem of lowering taxation fully and frankly with them, there is no doubt an arrangement benefiting the whole state could have been arrived at, decently and without any partisan uproar. Instead he waited till the last moment and then presented u bunch of hastily drawn bills with the declaration that if so much as a line was changed he could not be held responsible for the fulfillment of his promises. From no standpoint can this be regarded as a move for good government or economy. At most it is only a political trick. Having laid before the legislature his attempted revision of the code, he resorted to propaganda instead of reason for its support. “Do you want to save $9,000,000 and cut 160 taxeaters off ^he state payroll?” he asked the peo ple of the state. “If you do, write to me or the leg islature urging the passage of my bills.’ His hills had not yet been printed and no one had any :dea what was contained in them except what the gov ernor had said. This broadcast call to the people to raise a hue and cry in favor of the bills was sim- _ ply an appeal to partisanship, not to-#ood Citizen ship. Straightway the “harmony clubs” of the last election were revived, not to produce harmony but to fan the fires of political controversy ami mail in stereotyped threats to the legislature. Nothing < ould be less statesmanlike than this request for blanket approval for all his acts from people who had not had the opportunity to past themselves. No one can read the governor’s bills and believe that they will accomplish any such savings as he promises. To ask the legislature to abandon its judg ment and submit to the dictation of the chief ex ecutive is counter to all the principles of American government. The course to be adopted is plain. If there are any good points in the governor’s suggestions they should he adopted. Those measures that are wrong should not be endorsed. The principles of business like government must not be thrown overboard merely to please the fancy of Mr. Bryan. To. abol ish the modified form of civil service, to give the governor power to appoint all state employes with out the consent and advice of the senate, these are among the things that should not be done. Government by propaganda Is a dangerous thing. It is government by” common sense, not prejudice, that .the people want. Nebraska wants the best government at the least price, arrfl it docs not care whether it is designed by the governor or by whom. ‘ ONE TOUCH OF NATURE.” Crowds pass by the beggar sitting on the edge of the walk or huddled alongside the tall building, and the philanthropic onlooker is inclined to com incut on the indifference of the multitude. Each is bent on his own affairs, seemingly, and callous to the suffering or misfortune of another. That is a conclusion too hastily reached, as is proven on many ati ■occasion. The great heart of the American public is warm and full of sympathy lor the helpless and the unfortunate. How often and how easily this is proven only those who watch events closely know. It is well recognized by the unworthy, however, who make capital of it, and put to their own unworthy uses the knowledge that * most people who walk the city streets are generous, and will give to an undeserving person rather than missing one who needs help. Now and then an incident crops up that gives all the world notice that “one touch of nature makes the whole world kin.” A crippled soldier timidly entered an auction shop and sought to dis pose of some baskets he had made. The auctioneer look one of the baskets and passed it through the crowd. It came haolf, filled with coin and bills. Then it was sold, at a fancy price, and again and again it was sold, until finally, when the soldier left he had many times what he expected to receive, had sold all his baskets, and had orders for all he can make. Yes, it happened in Omaha, the city where life on the surface Is cruel and hard, hut where warm hearts beat and generous impulses move the multi tude to deeds that glow with all the beauty of un »elfieh devotion. “A fellow feeling makes us won drous kind,” rfnd none need ask in vain for help in Omaha. “END OF A PERFECT DAY.” A few more hectic hours will bring to a close the life of the Sixty seventh congress, one of the most notable in all the country’s history. Under the Constitution, it will expire by limitation at noon on Monday. What it has tried to do, and what it has left undone, will be topics for discussion for many months, perhaps even after the next con gress has come into action. The Sixty-seventh congress was called into ses sion in May, 1921, a few weeks after the inaugura tion of President Harding. From the first it was confronted by a task equal to any ever set before a legislative body. The Sixty-sixth congress had barely commenced the work of rehabilitation made necessary by the war. Its legacy to the now expir ing body was a thoroughly dislocated country. Business was depressed, industry languished, farm ers were oppressed by low prices and falling mar kets, and general disorder prevailed throughout so ciety. To remedy this and to restore health to the nation was the job put up to Mr. Harding and the congress. , How well this work has been done, the change brought about will indicate. “The proof of the pudding is in the eating,” and the achievements of the first two years of the Harding administration should be gauged by what has taken place. General confidence has been restored, mills and mines are at work again, the farmer is coming up from the mire of despondency, and everywhere activity and optimism pervade the public mind. Billions of dollars have been lopped from pub lic expenditures; other billions have been saved the taxpayers by reason of reduced tax levies; the pub lics debt has been cut down, and the administration of the government has been placed on a-business basis through the budget system. Revenue laws have been revised, measures to protect industry in general and agriculture in particular have been adopted, and the whole aspect of the nation has been changed. Much will be said during the summer, perhaps, concerning details of the past two years. All that has resulted is not ascribable to the huge republican majority, although the outstanding laws, such as the revenue measures, were put through against the solid opposition of the democrats. Blocs and combinations of various sorts have influenced the course of legislation, the effect of which is yet to be determined. What chiefly concerns the country as a whole is that the administration has largely redeemed one of its principal pledges. It has restored prosperity. If the expiring congress did not do all that was asked of it, it is equally entitled to consideration for some of the things it did not do, and may wel come “the end of a perfect day.” CHAPLET FOR ANOTHER HERO. George Shapley Downing is dead at San Fran cisco. That sentence tells you nothing. You already have forgotten in the press of other matters any fleeting notion you may ever have had of the man to whom that .name belongs. But George Shapley Downing deserves to live forever in the annals of those lives that have been given for humanity. He was a big man physically—“big as a moun tain," as the folks among whom he lived'would ex press it—and his soul was as big as his body. He was assistant superintendent of the Argonaut mine out in California. It is easy to picture him as he went about his work, silent, impressive, looked up to by the men; admired by all, fearpd by some, per haps, but capable and efficient, and doing the work that falls to the lot of the “assistant super,” who is a little below tha "top card” and a little above the "straw boss," speaking with another man's voice, but doing his own work after the fashion of big men ' v. ho talk little but accomplish a great deal. When a group of miners were cut off by a fire in the Argonaut mine last September, it was Down ing who led the desperate attempt at rescue Day and night he directed the sinking of the shaft that finally penetrated the death chamber, and discov ered that the deadly carbon monoxide had gone ahead of the rescuers. That -haft represented the concentrated effort of brawny men, skilled in all the operations of driving through hard rock and soft shale and sand, and making sure each inch they forced their way downward. It was strenuous work, a great game played with intense earnestness, the lives of men being the stake, and man's mind and muscle pitted against nature’s obstacles for the i contest. George Sllapley Downing was the leader; Every I body knew he was working hard, but none realized I how hard. His huge frame seemed capable of on during any hardship, but he went beyond his strength. And now, the “silent hero of the Argonaut" Is silent with those he strove so hard to save. While the world remembers brave men, his name should live among the bravest. Mr. Harding is reported to be planning a trip around the circle. We would like to remind him that Omaha is lovely in June. The Angora assembly is going to hear the ex perts next week. This may enable the Turk to come off the perch. One hundred thousand dollars a day in sales at the auto show gives a sort of prosperity aspect to the affair.

If the contest is permit ted to degenerate into a partisan af fair, with iu republican majority in both houses, the governor's bills will not get veiy far, even with his fellow democrats solidly behind him. But the abolition of the code system is not wholly a party issue and repub licans may well realize that the po I it leal landslide which buried the re publican candidate for governor has a special meaning for themselves. The governor has truthfully stated that one system or tig1 other—the j code or its substitute—must be ein j ployed entirely and cannot be util ized in part, or equal parts of admin istrative code and executive council. He deecl/ires that therh must be a complete governmental plan that will function if the states business is to be conducted on a business basin. Con- I sequently he asks that his plan 1 >*• adopted as a whole or that the code system be retained in its entirety. | That is common sense.

Omaha.—To th© Kditor of The Omaha Bee: At the present time there is up he fore the Nebraska state legislature Mouse Roll 1M, a soldier bonus bill, providing $15 a month for ex service men, with a $350 maximum payment. This bill seems to have drawn the fire of some anfTbonu* persons and or , Sanimations who should properly be supporting it. f*p to the present time j approximately 25 of our sister states have passed rash bonus bills ranging | from a flat $100 to $30 per month, be sides enacting many other bills for their ex service men s benefit. These 1 various beneficial measures were for services honorably and valiantly ren dered, and also as a partial financial j compensation and appreciation that their achievements and sacrifices did not fade from the public mind with the signing of th© armistice. The young men of Nebraska, when called to the nation s defense, left lucrative positions in civil life. They had the same rights to lif«•, liberty and th© pursuit of happiness, yet be©;*us* of th*»ir youth and strength they were called upon to make greater sacri fices than the rest, and, in return for all this Nebraska, so extensively ad vertised as a rich, prosperous and pro gresslve state, appropriated $25,000 for th© printing of atxjut 50.000 rpr tifleatg^, or 50 cents per man. in lieu of any beneficial measure. Contrast that with Kansas’ $30 per month The Nebraska state depart mem of the Veterans for foreign War h tv been trying to get a sta Ijonus bill passed for two year-. Tlieij J921 bill was beaten bv the four vot* of rep resent a 11 ves who were ex soldlei and should have voted for it. The Vet erans of foreign Wars and th* Dis abled American Veterans of Nebraska aro co-operating to secure the passage of these bills. These two organiza tions of overseas and disabled veter ans are asking the support of Nebras ka’s e service men, regardless of what any other organizations ar© doing.
