'-—--—*-X Prowling Washington With ** Nebraskans. V_ / By JACK LEE. Congre a ■ m a n ‘'Bob'1 Simmons, of the Big Six district, got up In the house the other day and spoke his mind outright. In his opinion congress Is spending too much time with piffle, and ignor ing m e a s u r e s which are vifal Jack I<ee. to the fnrmers. / The young Ne braskan scourged these tactics and demanded tint agriculture be given immediate consideration. He is of the opinion that congress should pay immediate attention to the recom mendations made to congress by the members of President Coolldge's farm and agricultural commission. Con gressman Simmons also believes tha* congress should pass a. permanent 15 per cent ad valorem tax on hides In order to benefit Nebraska cattle men. The wa^rs and means committee has an'abundance of Information on the subject and he urged that It report out auch a bill after one hearing. Such a move would engender quick acjion from the aenate. He feels that the emergency exists and a special tariff schedule should be drafted Im mediately and passed at once as Ne ^^phraska cattlemen are entitled to this '^^reiief wdthout further delay. The house committee on Agricnl Jure had been considering a Hill for farm relief Introduced some time ago by Congressman M. O. McEaughlin of the Fourth district. Several hear ings have been bad on the bill, but as yet no definite action toward re porting the bill out. has been taken. Vic toy Rosewater, former owner and publisher of The Omaha Bee. and son of the late Edward Rosewater, pioneer Nebraska newspaper editor, was in the office s. few days ago. Mr. Rosewater Is now living in Phlla delphla. -—--——-— Broccoli, Vegetable Appetite Teaser, MakesAnoearance I "rt platter and serve either Wi'h but ter sauce or polonaise.

A pleasant surprise awaits you at thp Internal revenue office this year. Those who have already paid their income tax for 1524 are pleased it the difference from previous years, say the clerks who are assisting the puzzled taxpayers. The rate of taxation on Incomes up to $5,000 has been reduced from 4 and 8 per cent last year to 2 and 4 per cent, this year. "We are lucky to Jive in America today," said Collector A. Ft. Allen. "This is true especially If we com pare the tax in America with that in Kngland and Germany. In Kngland the normal tax is 25 per cent higher than in America. 15 Per Cent Credit. "A credit of 25 per rent of the tax on earned incomes fur 1524, on In comes up to $5,000, has been added, which "as not given In previous years. There Is no reason for com plain I.” Most Omaha ns who have already paid the income tax this year praise the government for the reduction, said one clerk. There Is no grum bling this year and not so much effort to escape from paying on small Items Most everyone who has paid the tax Is surprised at the credit of 25 per cent on earned incomes up to $d,000. The exemption of $2,500 for mar ried men this year as compared to $2,000 of previous ye.ars has pleased the taxpayers as has the $400 exemp tlon for each dependent instead of $200.

In 1922 the tax was $742 and in 1923 the tax was $557.25. I'nder the present law the taxpayer would pay only $310 on the same in come. I nion Store Manager Quits. Sprrlul nlspetrh to The Omaha Ber.

By ARCH JACOBS. A new vegetable has made its ap pearance In Omaha. It is called broccoli and tastes like cauliflower, spinach and Brussel sprouts combined. It is also called the "college" plant, because of the long period it has taken the original planters of the vegetable to graft the vegetables to gether and make It edible. The first of the plants, which re sembles splnlrh, made Its appearance in Omaha several days ago and is now being served at Hotel Fonte nelle. "It will become the most popular vegetable In the country as soon as the public knows what It tastes like," declared Ray Stroh, purchasing agent of Hotel Fontenelle. Btroh said the plant Is being rown in large quantities by the Japanese farmers in California since it has been placed on the market. I>avid Bernobo, chef de cuisine at Hotel Fontenelle, says the -vegetable cooked with a piece of bacon has the old-fashioned dish of spinach and bacon "beat to pieces." "It melits In your mouth when well prepared," he said. Following is his recipe: Vegetable should be very green and tender, well-trimmed and washed In cold salt water. Place In saucepan containing boiling water and a little butter. Remove to side of range and cook slowly until three quarters done. Salt water and finish cooking, press A DTERT18 E>I ENT.
