(Continued From Pa** One.) know local sentiment w.ll he hack • bal'd about adding to expense and creating new jobs. If the supreme court judges will work a little harder and faster, and cut their three months' summer vaca tions down to a couple of weeks like most men have to do—If they get any vacation at nil—It will be posslblerfor them to catch tip without killing themselves with overwork," remarked one western representative this after noon. A senator who has practiced law. a little bit In his time said that many of the cases brought before the su preme court could he decided from the bench Instead of being mulled over for a year or two. Censorship BUI Certain. "Who's got the mpvie censor hill . and the antl-parl-mutuel bill in his pocket?” That is a question often , asked. These two bills are rumored 10 have been great revenue producers lor several sessions, but at the last session they didn't amount to much. Representative Sturdevant was in ; dueed to introduce the antl-pari-mu luel bill two years ago. lie introduced . it in good faith, too; but he was soon ; isntvlnced that the lot' * 1st who gave him the hill for Introduction was not actuated by the same motives. The bill did not even see the light of day after It had been introduced and re ferred to committee. A movie censorship hill is sure to bob up serenely In due time, hut 6 present Indications are that It will re 1 reive scant consideration. Senator Wood of Goring and Rep ; resentative Barbour of Scottsbluff are supposed to look after irrigation matters. They say they have nothing of any great moment under considera tion. They will ask a few amend ments. What they will watch most closely is the ratification of any agreement between Nebraska. Colo rado and Wyoming as to the division . . of the waters of the Plattes. Two-thirds of the members have ar 1 lived, and the rest of them will be on hand before noon Monday. i 4s* *« _ r SI,’ . *— By P. C. POWEI.I.. Staff Correspondent The Oninhn Mee. Lincoln, Jan. Talk of compro . ra se In the lights for speaker of the lower house and president pro tent of the senate circulating lit hotel lobbies this afternoon was banished tonight when Senator John W. Robbins of Omaha arrived and announced posl tivel.v that he had not withdrawn as ’ candidate for president pro tern of the senate ta save the speakership for Representative James A. Rodman of Omaha. This announcement threw the politicians into a turmoil with In dications that ns a result Omaha would get neither the prise plum of he senate nor of the house. As matters stbod tonight ths old Militleal cry of "Omahog” was being pregyl 'throughout hotel lobbies. Sen-j tor Charles Warner of Lincoln, an' ggressive randldate for pre, blent pro tern, against Robbins, was the most active In spreading the word that "Omaha" couldn't expect every thing.” Representatives from the! short grass country were especially elated over the situation created as a result of two Omaha men demand ing major positions In house and sen ate. I'nless a compromise Is reached j by caucus time tomorrow night It v.as accepted as certain that Omaha would lose both positions. Representative George Dvball of Omaha was the only member of the lower house from Dongles county to arrive tonight. lie stated that he , would he content with membership on the committee on committees and rhalrman of the cities and towns committee. * Senators John Cooper and T.

Il.v M M.IKI.MO KMAM'KI., International .News Service staff (nr reM|Kimlrnt. Home. Jan. 3.—While all Italy won ders tonight what will happen next in the new political crisis centering] around Premier Mussolini, certain facts stand out boldly enough amid the confusion. While rioting was reported from many parts of the country and the strong iron hand of the premier reached out to suppress newspaper critics, wholesale opposition grew in ; the chamber of deputies to a magni tude threatening the overthrow of the government. Then into the chamber walked Mus solini as unafraid as he has ever been in the face of danger, and these things happened: He dared his enemies to bring him to trial before the high court of Jus the. He declared boldly that he was tired of the tactics »f the opposition and would unhesitatingly use force. And he promised so me unnamed ac tion or event which ’would complete ly clariy the situation within ,24 hou is. Public Spanking. i After what amounted to a public spanking the duly elec ted and consti tutional chamber of deputies adjourn ed sine die without voting censure upon the government. In effect, constitutionalism ceased when the chamber ceased to exist and Mussolini 1* in the identical posi tion in whjch Italy found him after his “black shirt hquact'* had marched into Home. H'e is dictator. “The whole political «ifnation wPI be definitely cleared up within 24 hours," was the enigmatic declara tion of Mussolini which sent a ripple of apprehension through the ranks of his opponents. Mussolini's daring won him repeat ed cheers during his speech which was interrupted repeatedly. He brushed aside charges, made n week hgo today, that he engineered the disappearance of Matteottl, ao clalfst deputy. He denied also ch r s of the exist ence of a fascist t'hek i or- espionag • system along Russian lines which had j been organized by him. Sporadic rioting continued today.

Little Joe Otter took the two young Otter* over to the log where he hid found ihe trap and showed it to them. It looked so harmless that it was difficult for the young Otter* to believe that it was such a terrible thing ns their fat lire said it was. Then' he took them over to the foot of the ■dippers slide, and while they swanf aliout at a safe distance he looked carefully until he found a trap right at the bottom of the slippery slide. He showed it to them. "Now you see why I said you must not go down the slippery slide even once" said he.. "I didn’t know that this trap was here, but I suspected it. I suspect that there are traps in tha other places I have warned you to keep away from. If you want to live long and be happy don’t once for get the warnings jour mother and I have given you." The young Otters promised they wouldn't forget, and then the whole family went fishing. Of course they didn’t go fishing together. They sepa rated. each one fishing in a different place. All the time the smallest Otter Was looking for a trout she kept thinking about those traps. She tnade up her mind that nothing would tempt her to be heedless of the warn ings she had been given. You see she had not forgotten the lesson she had learned wrhen Yowler the Bob Oat bad caught her because of her heedless wilfulness. But her brother Jiad no such lesson, and as he hunted for trout he smiled1 to himself at what he thought weir the fgoiish fears of his parents. "Father add mother are just tr.ving to scare us," said he. "I don’t believe there is anything to be afraid of as long as that dreadful two-legged crea tin'* i«n’t about. Those traps look perfectly harmless to me. 3 m not afraid of them. I guess if T use my eyes and my none I can find them without getting into one of them. 1 w-onder where ail the fish have gone to. My, I’m hungry! I believe I’ll go farther up the brook. There is some swift, open water up there. It hasn't been fished much." So the young Otter swam to the upper end of the open water where he then was, climbed out on the ice and traveled over this until lie came to another stretch of open water. H»* SW am along close to the bank on one lie climbed out on the Ice and traveled I over this until lie came to another stretch of open water. side and presently came to a sort of little pen of sticks, lie didn't remem ber having seen It before, and hr looked at It suspiciously. He swam around It at a safe distance, and then he smelled fish. It didn't take him long to discover that Inside at the hack of that little pen was a fat trout. That trout wasn't alive. It seemed to he held by a Stick at the hack of the little pen. • The young Otto.* remembered the warning not to touch » dead fish. Hut he was hungry, very hungry, and here was a dinner he wouldn't have to take (he trouble to catch. He swam hark and forth In front of th® little pen of sticks, and examined them carefully. He went (lose to them arul smelled them. They were nothing hut i harmless sticks. Ills mouth began to w'afei at the smell of the fish 'There isn't a particle of danger,” said the foolish young Otter.

Chancellor Marx's efforts to find a parliamentary ba**is on which he cculd construct a cabinet that would command wording support in the reichstag definitely failed, and the only solution at the disposal of President Ebert was the formation of a so-called nonpartisan officiating cabinet# headed by Herr Marx.

I Employes of City Plants Must Pay w Back Income Tax New Killing by Revenue Bu reau Holds Surh Work ers Not Immune Un der Statute. "Washington, .Tan. 3.—All employes of municipally-owned institutions act ing in a propriatary capacity rather than serving governmental purposes, such as water, light and street rail way companies, are subject to income tax on their compensation. They will have to pay taxes bn their incomes as far back as 1918 and the bureau of internal tevenife has notified col lectors of Internal revenues to com pel. the filing of returns over those years. The ruling, far reaching in its ap plication, is based on epurt decisions in several sections of the country which have held in effect, that such institutions as wore named were com peting with private enterprise and should occupy a similar footing with respect to certain taxation features. The ruling made these specific statements: “In deciding whether or not any particular activity in which a state or municipality may be engaged is a governmental function, the attitude of the federal rather than the state iauthorities should govern. “The compensation received f«»r services rendered in connection with a municipally owned water system Is not exempt from income tax.” Ah n result of the ruling and the nntiepated decision of other similar questions in like fashion, every city or state or other political subdivision operating such quasi-public institu tions, it ]s expected will fnd it nec essary to go through its records and furnish the collector of their re spective districts with full informa tion about their employes, present and past. From these, the collectors will be able to trace down the persons who hitherto had filed no returns. l»elieving that, they were not sub ject to the federal income because they were employes of institutions ex jempt by law\ Far reaching effects are seen by Theodore A. Leisen, general manager of the Metropolitan Utilities district, in the ruling of Commissioner Blair to the effect that salaries and wages of employes of public utilities owned and operated by cities are not ex empt fro'm income tax. In commenting on the ruling. Man ager I^eisen contends that if Incomes of employes of public utilities aie to be taxed, the utilities district must also be taxed. Proceeding on tills theory he declared the ruling would have a tendency to immediately force an increase in ga* and water rates. *T,«a»t year the Metropolitan Utili ties district of Omaha had an income of approximately $2,000,000,“ s.tid Manager T.ejson. “If this amount were taxable a large income tax would have to he paid, and necessi tate a rate Increase. “The government says there should he no' tax on states or subsidaries, meaning cities, and that employes of either the state nr subsidaries are ex empt from tax. I think the commis sioner 1s stretching his Imagination a little.” Commissioner Blair handed down hi* ruling at the request of Mayor Evans of Riverside, Cal. L'. C. SHOLES OPENS HIS OWN OFFICES 1*.
