Promise of an early senate Teport of the new revenue bill is a sign that that one item of the general legislative program is making some headway. Sen ators seem to be getting down to brass tacks on the big problem. While Chairman Smoot of the finance committee has not as yet given out all the details of the committee's work, it is known that the house measure has been pretty well worked over. The bill went through the house with the in crease in the surtax rates and the creation of a new gift tax and a further imposition on estates. It would have resulted in a deficit, however, of more than $50,000,000. Secretary Mellon estimates a surplus under the existing law of $395,000,000. In the house bill it is estimated that the reductions rut out a total of $446,000,000. This disparity between revenue and probable expenditure could only be met by reductions in the budget which are not looked for. At least, so far as the appropriations have gone at the present session, no such saving is indi cated. Over $103,000,000 was cut o.ut of a single measure, but it will he offset through extensions of necessary character in other directions. * « * The bonus measure, which is certain to pass, and in its present form may secure executive approval, is expected to absorb most if not all of the savings that can be effected by the reduction in general ap propriations. This being true, it is imperative that any revenue measure that is passed be such as will provide funds for taking care of the government's needs. Already the senate committee has announced the restoration of the Mellon schedule of normal income tax rates in lieu of the Longworth compromise as adopted by the house. This does not affect the sur tax feature of the bill, which yet is to be settled upon. One report is to the effect that the senate committee will also adopt the Mellon surtax sched ule, another that the maximum amount will be in creased to 40 per cent, instead of 37’4 as fixed by the house. In restoring the Mellon rates on normal income, which distinctly were in favor of earned as dis tinguished from unearned incomes, the senate has given its approval to a provision that met with more favor among the people than it did with the experts of the house. As the Mellon plan comes to be better understood, it gains support. The chief opposition came from a misrepresentation of the facts. Zealously and industriously the opponents of the ad ministration in the house and out pushed the cry that the Mellon rates were all in favor of the rich man. That they were so drawn because the secre tary of the treasury is a rich man. Now it is com ing to be realized that the real reduction in taxes to be accomplished by the measure as originally drawn is nearly all in favor of the small taxpayer. O'-er five and one half millions of individuals will find their tax rates lowered by the Mellon rates. * * * One thing that ha* been determined is that a reduction of 25 per cent will be made in the 1923 tax. Those who pay in quarterly installments will he permitted to take this out of the second payment, due in June, while those who paid in full in March are to receive a rebate to the. amount of one-fourth of their tax. All this might have been cared for before the payment date in March had not the senate de voted its time and energy to prosecuting the inves tigations, now slowly but surely petering out. How ever, partisan ends were served, and the public pays for it in cash and inconvenience. If the senators are ready to get down to business, we may soon know u.ider what sort of revenue law we are to do business for at least the next year. WHEN BABIES WERE SCARCE IN OMAHA. Death of Mrs. Gertrude Rebhausen s.t Columbus revives interest in the pioneer history of Omaha. She is reputed to have been the mother of the first white child born in Omaha. This was in 185fi, one year after her marriage, at Milwaukee, to Gottfried Rebhausen. This child is now Mrs. M. Tex of Mil lard, Neb. Sorenaon's “Story of Omaha,” In its 1823 edition say* of the first white"child born in the city: •'The first white child born in Omaha was Mar garet Ferry, who came into the world In the month of October. 1S64. She. was (he daughter of .lamer % Kerry, who laid tha next atone for the foundation of I he atate house. "it Is claimed bv some, however, that the honor of being the first, white child horn In Omaha belongs to William Nebraska Rene*. This la disputed, ax he was born In that part of the city now known ax Park Wild, whh h was not then within the town limits.” According to Sorenson, the Kerry girl was born me year before Mrs. Rebhausen was married. The honor is one well worth disputing, as it carries with it the knowledge that the parents were of 1he enter nrising, pushing group who pitched their tents on the 'ar frontier, who faced hardships and dangers, un lerwent privation* and inconvenience the present day knows nothing of, to lay the foundations for a great state and a wonderful city. A mother then was indeed something to deserve the consideration of all. She had come with her 'tuzband to the new ramping place, and in her way was contributing to its permanence. Mrs. Rehhau sen deserves a place among the pioneers, to be hon ored as such for her share in th# work that has turned out so well. GLUTTONY NOT A SIGN OF GREATNESS. German* who hav* fallen on rather lean days have taken to distracting their minds if not their etomachs by digging up record* of what the people of the pest used to stuff themselves with. For ex ample, at Dresden the menu of a Sixteenth century king has been exhumed. It show* that at one meal lixteen different aorta of flesh food and several va rieties of flsh were served. Discovery is made that even in homes of humble citizens as many a* six courses were serted at a meal, each course consist ing of several dishes. If the sport were worth the while, it might he followed back to the days of Lucullus, of whose gor- j mandizing Plutarch gives us a lively picture. Or to Belshazzar,' who onee served a feast that has a place in history, and so until we come to the place where the tribe, or the family gathered around the “kill,” and stuffed themselves with raw meat. Such exercise will only show us what we have escaped. If man has made any progress at all, it has been in the matter of eating. Less and leas’ of food is Jreing tonsuined, and health and the chance for happiness is consequently improved. Men in olden times literally dug their graves with their teeth. In modern times the practice still persists, but it is the exception and not the rule. We have learned that stuffing is accompanied l>y distress, rather than comfort, and that enough is as good as a feast. Hermans, now on short rations, will not always be in that predicament, and they will get a lot of real satisfaction and encouragement out of contemplating a future of promise, rather than to dwell on thoughts of days when sixteen kinds of meat were brought to one table. WHO RUNS THIS COUNTRY. ANYHOW? When the Fathers laid down the framework of the American government, they devised a tripartite form, executive, judicial, legislative. Each was made supreme in its own sphere, each was independent of the other, guardian of a specified realm, and all re sponsible to the people. Now the senate of the United States appears to have assumed jurisdiction over the entire shooting match. Secretary Weeks has been subpoenaed to appear before the inquisition, and to produce his books and papers. If a cabinet officer may be thus summoned, why stop there? The next step will be the president, and then the supreme court, and then the senate will he where some of its members evidently want it to get. It will be the whole show, or, at least the ringmaster. To quote from Andrew Jackson’s letter to the sen ate, when it was undertaking to assume control of the secretary of the treasury: "fcollowed to j|* consequences, this principle will lie found effectually to destroy one co-ordinate de partment of the government, to concentrate in Mi* hands of the senate the whole executive power, and to leave the president as powerless »e he would be useless—the shadow of authority after the sub stance had departed." That is just what the cabal at present ruling the investigations is aiming at, to leave the executive de partments the shadow of authority after the sub stance has departed. Nor is it at the federal govern ment alone the blow is aimed. Startling as the spec tacle is, we note state’s rights democrats “request ing” the governor of a sovereign state—Governor Hunt of Arizona—to come forward and submit him self to the examination and dictates of the senate. Such an oligarchy has never threatened America as ia now springing up at Washington, under guise of inquiring into official corruption. It is the senate breaking over all boundaries, and spreading itself in all directions over every agency and activity of gov ernment. Right now it ought to be .settled who is running the government. Omaha will put in a bid for the 1925 bead ramp of the Modern Woodmen of America. Here ia a convention worth going after. It represents the numerically strongest insurance society in the world, and will he the occasion of gathering many thou sands of delegates and visitors. We need such con ventions. Not very clubby, we say, for Kansas officers to arrest a man as soon as Nebraska paroles him. Maybe, though, it would be well if our own board were to examine into these matters a little more closely. Study of tha sample ballot at lpast will familiar ize the voters with the names of those who seek to serve the public. Plenty of room for the exercise of choice, also. An uninstructed delegation from Iowa to the New York convention puta an awful dent in the Meredith boom. Might as well call that incident closed. Three million dollars worth of Omaha real es tate changed hands in Marrh. and most of it was for home purposes. This is another of the good signs. Poincare seems to have ridded himself of a troublesome finance miniater after a different fashion from that in vogue at Washington. Federal reserve, banks report a combined total of more than $4,000,000,090 resources. That looks like a firm foundation for business. Unless the senate grand jury can strike a new lead, it will soon be off the map. Readers already are turning to the sporting page. Gaston B. Means jumped his bail of $15,000 in New York, but that will not affect the story he told the Brookhart committee. A very heavy passenger movement has been noted out of Omaha lately- mostly rattle and sheep headed for the feed yards. Poincare came back with much less flourish than he made going out, but he is on the job, juat the same. Mah jong ia to be assessed by the government. That’s right, make the foreigner pay his share.

The government wants the ex soldier to scoot out end gcL himself a claim. The feci Is I Want him to take :t look first. In the late ’70s and on down through the KOs I hunted ail through thte*e same kinds. They are composed of knobs, mountains. io«k and dense forests, hut bleak and ban- as a rule. The cracks in the ground are so deep drop a rock today and you could hear It hit th«* bottom tomorrow. Otero count y. New Mexico, has .76.500 acres fur him who wants to climb. Now. I know this county, for In the early xos the Comanche In dians ran me all over it. The earth lias dropped down in ho many places and left upright walls—well, they are standing there yet. San Juan and Pinto county, in l’tah, have 85,350 acres for entry. In years gone by I have ridden a saddle horse all over this same land, and it was nothing but mountains. It was at that time a good place to hunt. No way to get water, only at a spring or a creek—you cannot dig a well in solid rock. The fact is. If It was worth any thing it Would have been settled ye£U*s ago. Now, don't waste your time ami your money, for you can't make a living on a homestead out there. Now, neighbor bow if you can live on dry air and scenery, go there. It is beautiful. The lofty mountains are grand to look at. The canyons aie so deep and so dark one can see the stars shining. With some Piute Indians I traded all over San Juan county. It is as big as New Jersey. We found lots of natural caves, some extended far back in the mountains. In them were lots of hones of differ ent animals. Some, we did not know what they were, and thousands of hats, some so old they had turned white. Lots of pyrites of iron and some copper was found. Tn one cave we found the frames of 16 skeletons of the human kind in length. They were five and one half to seven feet at. that time. The bones were well preserved and all intact, just as though thev had laid down and gone to sleep. They all had carried dirk knives of the old Spanish make: sev eral axes that had been made by a blacksmith: around the waist of on5 was a small chain with three-cornered links that had been made by band. On the little finger of one was an old brass ring. There were three flint lock guns and several other kinds. In all there were 30 cap and hall revol vers of large caliber—one of the cylin ders was loaded with brass slugs. In the southern part of this county you will see the natural bridge. It Is built in the shape of a half moon. You climb up one end and slide down the other. Tt Is a wonder in size. There were lots of Indian carvings on it. but no date to tell us when !t j whs built, or by whom. Now. If you j like tn explore in lonely places and [ hunt for ancient things, go there. TOM niVINGTON, 617 S. 18th St. For MrN'aryHsuge n Bill. Indianola, Neb.—To the Kditor of The Omaha Bee: I wish to answer editorial In the Omaha World Herald on the MeNary-Haugen hill which was very sad news to ms when I know the principle Involved In this bill means everything to the American farmer, who has alwava sold his sur plus in the free trade markets of the world snd measured the pries In »h« domestic, markets for his commodity by what he receives for the exported surplus in competition with cheap land and cheap labor snd the Amer ican mads machinery while, he bought the necessary supplies snd labor In a highly protected market. I want to dismiss tha protection question by saying “Ws are committed to this whether democrats, republicans or progressives rule at Washington. Labor must ha vs restricted emigration which is their protection. Manufac turing i oncerns must have protection because of the higher plane of wages. Now we are not going to change, this we must aland on the higher plane of things in the ('lilted States. Now to be fair to the farmers he must have the same protection snd the necessary machinery as embodied in the MeNary-Haugen bill to reap ihe benefit of a higher price In the domestic market than he receive* for his exported surplus. Thin hill pro vides the machinery lo pool the stir plus that has to he expoited and sold at » lower price upon which there Is a loss snd distributing this loss over r-x Abe Martin V M ! - I “F'a«y comes, ea.y goes," is an ole savin', hut hard earned money seems t’ have th' best, wings after all.

Moines article in your letter eolttuin >f the 291 h where lie calls a man a bright man and further on In his letter calls him pinhead. Now listen. Mr. Moore, such language as that won't get you anywhere. You pel haps ate sincere in your prohibition belief hut the argument you ptit up in regards to same In your letter of the 29th won't go far with good sound thinking people. You say liquor Is worse than dope Anybody knows better than that as the lope habit has always been considered a man's worst habit, as it works more than one way on his system and when we had good whlskv it* worst fea ture was on the pocket book, but then we did cieriye quite a ruin of revenue end now none. Didn't you ever see anyone on the street corner begging por a dime for coffee during liquor davs? Sine just the same as now. You say they go and get liquor Instead of coffee. How io they get it these good old ptohibi tion davs? Borie dry. Yes wouldn't it be a great deal better to have light wines and beer and lei the business places handle it and derive a little benefit therefrom instead of the bootleggers peddling a lot of poison around? And you know there has been fermentations ever since the world was created and always will be and people are going to turn this into liquor as long as the world stands and all the booze hounds you can put out at the great ex[>ense our good siafe is put to won't check it a parti cle. There Is more liquor now than theie was two veins ago by a great many thousand barrels. What are your booze bounds doing? Drinking plenty of it of course. I happen to know several of your hounds in Ne braska and a majority of them are the worst kind of fbooze guzzlers. Why don't yotl put on some of your strictly prohibition men? Pretty hard lo find? You speak of beer and wine dtaggtng them down to crime. 1 want to give you a few figures. Take this from a pinhead, as you call them. Before prohibition the capacity of our penitentiary was 30n. at that time they had 250 Inmates. They enlarged it some, to a capacity of 500 and have *00 in it at the present time. A little crowded, don't vou think. Mr. Moore? That ain t half of it. th» hoys’ home down there at Lincoln has rnme into prominence since prohibition and every county jail is full, some waiting tor room at the penitentiary. Take ymjr own Douglas county jail, ain't got breathing room, mostly waiting for a hunk down south of Lincoln. Is there !e«s crime now than in those awful liquor days? You know there s three times ths crime now than 10 years sgo, so does everybody else if the would admit it. A PINHEAD. t'onservalion.
