FIVE MILLIONS IS ENOUGH.
Five million dollars is enough to puy for Ne
braska’s new capitol. 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.

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.

A Woman Replies to Mr. Who.
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.

Elm Creek. 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. This Information is broad
pasted far and near, and I ask the
ouestion: Is it In the Interest of the

.Musir From \>ia.
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.
For some strange reason the
archeological investigations of this
later day have stirred the whole peo
ple. Perhaps, for one thing, they are
belter handled in our daily papers.
We know more about them, and in a .
more human way lie that a« it may

People before th* last few hundred
years were not all stupid heat lien.
They had their great teachers, their
great artists, their poignant every
day lives, just jim nr have. Not so \
long ago the Indian wastousa fierce1
and cruel savage, nothing more. Now !
when Mr. Lieurance says he has “a
cultural background.” we believe him.
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.
