No shortsighted policy should he allowed to stand in the way of Omaha's growth. If this com munity ever takes on the garments of a real city it must do it as a leader among the commercial and industrial communities of the world. To accomplish that every possible obstacle of prrsorfal or selfish interest must be removed. All hands must pull together for the good of all. News dispatches advi=e that there will shortly he offered to Omaha a chance to get a branch of the great mail order house of Sears, Roebuck A Co. of Chi cago. This firm is looking for a location through which its business may be extended. Kan sas City is bidding for the site. If news dispatches are correct, Omaha has a chance to secure it. Such an institution will he a real value to the city. If it is the means of bringing no other benefit, it will have the effect of extend ing the local retail trade. • * • Arguments that a mail nrdpr house 1* a detri ment, because of its interference with the retail trade of interior communities rest on too narrow a foundation. These houses have existed for many years. They have developed pnormous traffic. Yet country stores have gone on about the same as ever. Y\'e must keep in mind the fact that Sears, Roebuck & Co. will continue to operate whether the new extensions are made or not. We must keep in mind, too, that it will continue to trade -in Nebraska, whether the branch is located in Kansas C ty or Omaha. The more retail e-tablishments a market renter has, the greater the chnnep for profitable trading by the customer. Om^ha will thrive isist as it offers inducements to peer'-' to come herp to buy as well as to sell. It is o of the great primary grain markets of the world. It is the second livestock mnrket. It is a manufacturing and jobbing center of importance. Why not make it also a really great letail town? • • • This is not said in disparagement of the stores (.'ready here. The city has many splendid em I oriums, where the richest offerings of the world are presented to customers. Our retail merchants are enterprising, and fully abreast the times. They welcome any who will come. A chance to bring an institution whose business runs into the mil lions each year does not come every day. It ought to be -seized when offered. If Omaha is going to be really great, the rule should be. Go out and get them all. The slogan for Omaha in 1926 is, Greater Nebraska—Straight. Ahead. MORTGAGE ON THE OLD HOMESTEAD. One little bit of time-honored romance cannot be put on in Nebraska. The daughter of the house hold may be turned obt into the winter night for marrying an actor, but the prodigal son cannot gal lop up just in time to prevent the old folks from being dispossessed through foreclosure of the mort gage. Because, “there ain’t no such animal.” More than one-half the farms in Nebraska, F>2 per eent to be exact, were unburdened by mortgage nt the close of the year. Of the other 48 per cent., the incumbrance is so slight as average less than half the actual value of the property. The debt ranges fronts 30 to 60 per rent of the total valuation. Secretary .1. H. Roper of the Federal Farm Loan association of Dodge county points this picture: “The combined v-ilne of whest and corn eropa atone will be upproxln :elj t 'T.'i.nmi.ooo or an aver age Of $2,000 for evr" i u ni In the stale. Add the other crops, oat*, tie. barley, sugar heels, hav, potatoes, fruit and vegetables with their combined value of about $200,000.0<to. Then add $280,000,000 more for cattle, hogs, sheep, poultry and dsirv products. The totnl value of all the agricultural products for Nebraska this year, statisticians tHI us, will be nearly ITSft ooo.ooo or an average of over $5,7‘lb per farm.” And the farmer is sitting pretty, all prepared for another season of productive effort. Nebraska is prosperous, because its farmers are industrious, thrifty, farsighted. That is the whole story. PITTSBURGH-PLUS IN TAXATION. An experiment that will interest the whole coun try is being tried out in Pittsburgh. It. practically amounts to the application of the Henry George the ory of single tax. Instead of assesaing land and buildings as a unit, the. values are separated. The rate of taxation on buildings is only half that rest ing on the land. No tax is laid on stocks of goods or personal belongings of any sort. Presumably, the law has worked satisfactorily, for it is now pro posed to adopt a rule whereunder the tax laid on the buildings will he but 1 per cent of that put on the (and. Some question is raised a« to the working out of this plan. In St. Paul, for example, where a care ful Inquiry has been made by the Pi-patch, it is found that the rule will generallv tend to increase the combined valuation of the lurid and building. I Th* editor of that paper shows that, whereas the present valuation of building* is in round numbers, $200,000,000, and of land alone $134,000,000, un- j der the Pittsburgh plan buildings would be reduced to $100,000,000 and that of land increased to $234,000,000. In a downtown business ward the ! rule would produce a net increase of $28,000,000, or 40 per cent in valuation. Such an increase, the Dispatch editor contends, would put a burden on the business of the community that could only be met by a rise in selling price of commodities or a re duction in wages. Kither would be disastrous. On the other hand, the plan would produce a slight re duction in the amount of taxes paid by the home owners. A comparison for Omaha would be interesting. Whatever it might show, it would be a contribution to the never-ending debate over taxes* The search for some painless method of taking money away from those who have it to be used to defray expenses of the government has not been ended. Maybe the “Pittsburgh-plus” plan has in it something that de serves study. EVERYBODY IN ON THIS. Several weeks of unfavorable weather have driven many of the automobile users to riding on the tram ears. These have been edified, or at least have had thp opportunity for being edified, hy numerous posters displayed hy the Omaha Council of Safety. All of these posters hear impressive warnings, the text supported by appropriate pictures. Even the most casual can not fail to get some suggestion from ■.hem. One that seems most timely of all carries this: “Play Fair With Traffic. Await your turn.” No other phase of the complicated traffic problem is more general than this. Not a jam at a street cross I irtg but some ambitious driver gets out of line, hop | ing to and generally succeeding in getting ahead of | several, even though he delay and inconvenience 1 everybody else. Not a crowd waits for the coming I street car but notes a struggle on part of somebody | to get aboard first. At the elevator, someone strug I g!es to get into the car ahead of everybody in line. I 'n impetuous person will rush wildly througfi a re volving door, and then stand on the sidewalk and look up and down street long enough to waste sev eral times the amount of time he gained by running over other people whose right to go through the door was equal to his and who were there before he was. Await your turn. It will not take very. long, and will show a decent regard for the rights of others. Of course, your time is valuable, hut so is that of other people. And more time is wasted in traffic jams because some deluded mortal tries to heat all the rest to the opening than would have been lost had the whole procession moved in order. Think of the other fellow once in a while. No matter how urgent your mission, it does not warrant the disre gard of others who may lie bent on business just as important. SPORT, OR JUST BUSINESS? A so-railed national association of prize fight impresarios tells a gasping world it will not recog nize any titles awarded hy the New York state box ing commission. A boxer may he a champion in New York, but he will just he a name on the pro gram anywhere else. Not that we care so much as three whoops at the North Pole, but who is going to determine the championship? Once there was a rule by which this mattpr was easily settled. The holder of the honor fared in the ring the man who coveted Ate crown. The one who ramp out was rhampion. Simplicity. No argument or contention, no lettpr writing, berating of cross eyed referees, or prejudiced commissioners. Nor did the rhampion in those good old days live long. He was not permitted to choose his "set ups.” A challenger appeared, and the eontpst followed, as soon as sueh arrangements eould be made as would permit the meeting without interference from policp authorities. Nowadays, more palaver !« required to get a iham pion into the ring tharWnight end a world war. After lie gets in, few ran tell just what happened. We get ; referee's decisions, newspaper decisions, and no de cisions. About the only thing that has not been tried is a general referendum. A boxer may he tiffi cham pion in one part of the land, and a nit in another. The business men who are handling the money end of the game are growing more grasping than shrewd. If they awake to their own interests, they would try to adjust their affairs so the public would he ahle to know what it is getting when it buys a ticket to see a “championship'' melee. Otherwise, the day is not so far off when organized boxing will cease to hp regarded as a sport, and he forced to lake its plare among the business enterprises of the isnd. Then it will land just about where professional , wrestling now lies, flat on its hark. Producer Brady says the radio now menace* the theater. All right.. Now let the theater get hack to its proper sphere, and it need not fear radio or anything el*e. Among others who will be missed a* the opening r.f the session will he Squatter Governor Pearman and Joe Burns. Used to be that a Nebraska legisla ture could not run without one of these. Four more Ohio' men have demonstrated that it is disastrous to tie a locomotive in a race for a crossing. But thi« will not keep others from trying. Attorney General Slone is showing the hoys that when he asks for a resignation, he means for an officeholder to get out. Four thousand persons actually attended the Cnolidge New Year’s reception, hut 110,000,000 wished them the best of luck.

Omaha.- To the Kditor of The Omaha Bee: It appears that the enemies of the child labor amendment will win by default of It.* friends. Such apathy upon the part of the well wisher* shows a decided lack of understanding of the meaning, or of the importance, of the amendment, and the forces contending against B> ratification.
