The legislative act of 1919, which authorized the construction.of a capitol build- i ing, specified that its cost should not exceed $5,000,- 1 000. It is up to Governor Bryan and the other members of the capitol commission to hold the ex pense within that figure. The joint legislative investigating committee has found that at the present rate of expenditure the completed building will cost $2,000,000 more than has been authorized. This is had news for the tax payers of Nebraska. At a time when everyone is trying to save, and when both parties are pledged to economy, no such raid on the public pocketbook should be permitted. ■»* * V lb was brought out in the hearings at Lincoln that numerous changes have been made in the plans. So far as was shown, none of these alterations was in the direction of reducing expenses. The capitol commission authorized extensions here and im- ' provements there,•increasing the size of the struc- \ lure, and ujak'ng it a finer and more costly build ing than originally had been contemplated. if under the administration of Governor Me- I Kelvie anything crept into the designs that came too | high, it should be cut out. If the present capitol ! commission is not willing or able to do this, it should step out. Mr. McKelvie has been succeeded as chairman of the board by Governor Bryan, and the new state engineer, Roy Cochran, has succeeded George E. Johnson. The appointive members of the commis sion, who hold over, are Walter W. Head, a banker of Omaha; W. E. Hardy, a furniture merchant of Lincoln, and W. if. Thompson, an attorney of Grand Island. The investigating committee is undeniably correct in stating that these are “men of integrity, J ability, business experience and of high standing.’’ | It is well, however, that they should be warned against countenancing anything in the nature of ex travagance in the carrying through of this great ! project. * * * The people have ordered a new state house, and i set the limit at $5,000,000. Every year since 191 h i ihey have contributed a share of their taxes, amount ing to about $000,000, to this purpose. The law authorizes the creation of the capitol fund in six yearly installments: The last of these will fall next year. When that time comes, the taxpayers should be able to breathe a sigh pf relief in the knowledge that their new state house was fully raid for, and that the cash was in .the treasury and no bonds to meet. i IOWA’S BOND PREDICAMENT. Thu sovereign state of Iowa is going over the same road the Independent School District of Omaha traveled two years ago. A big bond issue is being offered with no takers, because of a difference be tween the state treasurer and the bond buyers as to the rate of interest that should be paid. The treasur er is offering the bonds to bear -1 per cent annually, without success, but admits that he has been inform ed that a 5 per cent bond will find a ready market. 1 The State of Iowa is solvent; its credit should be as good as that of the United States of America, yet a federal bond at 3 1-2 per cent is bringing a premium in the bond market, while a state bond, which is quite as attractive for investment purposes is untouched at 1 per cent. This is one of the anom- ! alies of finance over which ordinary people are • puzzled. Two years ago the Independent School District : bf Omaha had a $5,000,000 issue of bonds, but the i legislature had to be approached for permission to raise the interest rate in order that the bonds could be sold at par. Only a part were disposed of, but these promptly went on the market to private pur chasers at a premium, for they are a gilt-edged se cuaity. The Iowa bond is in much the same predica ment today. Buyers figure that the state must have the money to pay the bonus, and therefore will submit to the exaction. State Treasurer Burbank says that while the people arc willing to give $22,000,000 to the soldiers of the world war, he is not willing to sell the state into bondage for $2,000,000, which is the difference in interest rate between what he offers and what is asked. We believe that the Hawkeyes, even the soldiers who are eager for the bonus, will approve the stand of the treasurer. If the worst comes to the worst, the boys will be as glad to get an Iowa bond bearing 4 per cent as the y were to take a Lib erty bond at 3 1-2, and that may be the final answer. WET, BUT. SOFTLY SO. Oil} of Eugene Field’s poems has a sugar plum tree growing, or a lollypop island in the midst of a ginger beer lake. Prosaic people may have marvel ed at the figure, and wondered how he got that way. A sugar jdum tree might be possible, and even a lolly pop island, but where would a lake of ginger beer be discovered? Wow comes the census report to supply the missing details. \ Right here in the United States of America, in tho year of Our I.ord 1921, was consumed soft drinks to tho amount of $115,000,000 in value. If the average price of drinks-was 10 cents, whicli may be a little high, it means that 1,150,000,000 potions or bumpers or beakers, or what you may like to call them, were quaffed. If each of these contained five fluid ounces, the total was equivalent to 5,750, 000,000 ounces, which in turn is equal to 350,375,- , 000 pints, or nearly 44,500,000 gallons. And this doesn't include a lot of stuff that mas querades as soft drinks, but falls outside because of its not being “mineral” or “carbonated” water, nor does it rontntn the natural spring water, of which much was consumed. In other words, a pretty lair sized lake of ginger beer and the like is produced and appreeiatingly consumed in the United States each year. A Senegalese soldier was found stabbed to death In a wood in the Ruhr, whereupon the French or dered the trees cut down. Thl is positively medic al—like a good deal of the French policy * HOME FOR HEBREW CHILDREN. A leader in science as well as philosophy, Dr. Chaim Wcizmannxis a fine embodiment of that rest less, unconquerable spirit that has lifted the JLew to eminence in the world through fifty centuries. Hit mission to Omaha is to encourage and stimulate the endeavors that are being made to relieve the dis> J tress of millions of his race, now enduring hardships. | misery and persecution in central and eastern Europe. For this great leadership Dr. Weizmann is pe culiarly fitted. Not many men have had the oppor- j tunities he has been given to know and fully realize the aspirations of his people, and to be able to ad just those aspirations to a practical plan. The J yearning of the devout Jew for the old home in j Palestine, of which few know anything save by tra dition anil the teachings that arc familiar to all, is to he satisfied in a manner that will fully meet the requirements of all and which holds open a xC’ay to the restoration, if not the glories of Zion, at least the privilege of self-government and economic in dependence for those who now endure the disad vantages of alien government and rigid repression. The Zionist movement has been greatly reformed and modified since Dr. Hcrzl brought forward his program of a generation ago. Wise counsellors have J considered the needs of Jewry, and out of their deliberations has come a workable plan. Jews are j to be removed from the lands where they now i merely exist, and be placed in new’ homes in Pal- i estine. Land is being purchased from the Arab and Turkish owners, and preparations made to continue the work of repatriation, begun before the wax’. In these homes the Jews will be given aid until they have so restored the lands to make them self-sup porting. Great government industrial projects are J to be installed, such as the Jordan water power and irrigation plan, and in all ways modern experience : and methods will be applied to make the old land | bloom anew and once more become the home of a vigordus, progressive citizenry. Jpr. Weizmann knows that this work must be al most wholly supported by American Jews. He asks | none of them to give up their citizenship or their j splendid loyalty to America; he merely seeks to im press on them the deplorable fact that the resources of the European Jews have vanished with the utter collapse of exchange. Mdlions that were pledged in ' 1914 and subsequent thereto have evaporated since 1919. Therefore, on the Jews of the New World falls that part of the work, to provide the money that is needed to carry on the program which is once more to give the Hebrew children a dwelling place in the land of their fathers. BY RAIL AND WATER. Considerable impetus will be given the Great > I.akes-St. Lawrence waterway project by the action of the railroad managers, who say they heartily favor the project. The managers represent the so- ' called "granger” lines, those of the central valley j from whence comes the great flow of food products. , An intelligent self-interest is exhibited in their posi tion, for they admit that the operation of a water way of the sort projected will greatly relieve the ' railroads when the*deluge of agricultural shipments ! comes on each year. The canal is to be a supple ment to rail facilities for getting the produce of I the farmer to market. • That is the chief of the benefits to be derived j from the canal, and its strongest appeal to the tegion it will mainly serve. All the empire west of . the Alleghanies will be helped by the canal, but the ' farms will derive the most benefit, for from them 1 undoubtedly will come the greater bulk of the ship ments that will go abroad by water. ’ Bringing the Atlantic ocean a thousand miles nearer the fields of Nebraska sounds like something i of a feat, but it will be accomplished when the ocean steamers dock at Chicago, Milwaukee or Du- ; luth. This will mean that much shorter rail haul, | the quicker transfer of the grain from the cars to ; the steamer*, and a consequent speedier movement j of the crop each year. Opposition to the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence project has not died out, nor is it even resting. New York and other Atlantic coast ports that will be af fected are active in their efforts to preserve the ex isting condition of affairs. The general plan is j growing in favor, though, as the announcement of the western railroads will indicate, and it will have a prominent place on the program for the next congress. Until it is under way western men should I not vest, for the great canal means relief that other wise will not be forthcoming. A survey of the field so far discloses that the elc- ! merits at work to split the republican party consist , mainly of those who habitually vote the democratic ticket and a few who have not supported a presi- | dent, democrat or republican, for so long that they can not remember the time. Of course tile University of Nebraska is making > good. The senate finance subcommittee has per- ; formed a real service in reminding the people of , the benefits of our state system of higher education | and its proportionally low cost. --- ( If there are too many gasoline filling stations, competition would eliminate some of them.

Superior, Is'eb.—To the Editor ot Tire Omaha Bee: The writer wishes to thank. The Omaha Bee for the splendid opportunity it affords for public expcenslun. She seeks in all humility to enlighten .Mr. Who in his query. "What business have women in trying to master polities?" Almost 2.000 years have passed since the "Greatest Man” who ever . trod the globe was born. Jlls simple life of teaching and living true Chris tianity lasted 30 odd years. During that time He taught that all men have one God and Father. He demonstrated beyond cavil that man is his brother’s keeper. In all ac tions He was Jesys the anointed, ten der, true, patient and strong. He was not a sickly egotist. He was Master because He was servant of all mankind, lie taught equality of every j one. Holding the perfect model of 1 man in thought, lie rejected the de moralized opposite. Upon this rock of true liberty was our United States government formed. 1 The men of colonial days were : strong, brave, intelligent in all ae- ! tivltks. So lask was too difficult to t perform. Their wives, mothers and | sweethearts were adored with utmost | tenderness. Wants were few and ! simple. All were pleased with the early pioneer days. However, these pictures of fireside 1 gatherings soon ended. The great ! red dragon belched forth in wars, pestilence, famines. pride, envy, egotism, strife began to occupy thought, woman ceased to believe all that her mate told her, mortal man no longer was a medium for woman’s intelligence. She has asserted her freedom in the name of the one In finite Intelligence. If the ballot will aid in abating political evils Iwhlch has lirought distress!,' let us hope that she retains her rightful heritage. To assume that woman should hear chil dren without li»r consent is prepos terous. To raise children without previous provisions involves com plications. Woman is not guilty of such indiscretion without the male sex. In conclusion, let us promise to reason together for the good of alt mankind. Much is to be ac complished in this great science of government. In dointr so, may all look to the realities of one causation rather than to the personified mor tals. be they male or female. MRS.

Xeb.—To the Editor of The Omaha Bee: .fust why the farmer should publish the number of acres of grain, or its condition in the field, e>i the number of bushels he has In the bin, or the number of hogs, cattle or sheep in his possession through go\ernmenl. teports or otherwise, I am unable to understand. These re- I ports evidently have an influence on t the market, to the disadvantage of the j farmer, especially if he is long on the above or if his prospect is unusually good. The government sends out blanks to selected farmers and stockmen sev eial times a year to be filled in with w hat should l>e inside and confidential information, much of which Is merely estimates and really nothing definite. We who have lived long in the west know that prospects may appear won derful. and we have seen those pros pects go glimmering in the ten days or two weeks before harvested, and we wake up to the fact that our yield Is not to exceed in'to 50 per cent of the estimate A bushel In the bin is worth two in the field. Xot only does the government seek this inside information, but the board , of trades send out men whose bust* | ness It is to secure this Information: so also do the newspapers and the : railroads.

From the Norfolk Thurlow Lieurance, an American composer who by long and thorough study has made himself an authority on the music of the American Indian, is inclined to think that the connec tion of our red men with an oriental ancestry is proved by their music. Their flutes, the scales on which their niusic is constructed, the music it self, he maintains, in Musical Ann r lea. shows the influence of ‘oriental and Assyrian mysticism, symbolism and imagery.” He finds that “the tribal rituals and customs of our most primitive Indians correspond very closely—in fact dirt etail exactly—r with those just now being brought to light by scientific delving in the back ground of oriental life, whether in China. Assyria or India.” * Long ago we used to read in our history books that "America was prob ably originally people from Asia, by waj of Bering strait.” We learn* d that, like other statements in text books, “by heart.'* hut it meant little in our lives. The Schltemann ex it vat ions In Troy and Crete attracted attention for a Lit, but they, too, seemed vague and f.ir away.

It almost inclines us to give the few Indians we have left a chance to de velop their own native genius and art instead of imposing upon them a civilization foreign to their natures, apd consequently almost imjjot-sible to assimilate.
