House in Flurry
Over "Fake” Bill
on Gasoline Tax
Opponent* of Mea*nre Re
ported Out by Committee
Distribute Printed Copies
of O wn Program.
By P. C. POWEIJj.
Staff (nrrespnndnnt The Omaha Bee.
I<!ncoln. J‘>h. 27.—Irregular proce
dure Is charged against opponents of
the gasoline tax bill by R. E. Har
rington, chairman of the house rev
enue and taxation committee, which
reported out the bill calling for use
of gasoline tax proceeds in meeting
federal appropriations for state high
\va v.
The opponents, who believe gasoline
tax proceeds should be used in build
ing county highways call themselves
the “farm bloc,’* their commanders
irt-chief being Johnson of Herman,
and Keck of Polk, dyed-in-the-wool
i . democrat*. Not more than one half
of the farm members claim member
ship In the “bloc."
This bloc Introduced skeleton bills
calling fot* a 50-60 split of gas tax
proceeds. It failed to receive sanc
tion of the revenue and taxation com
mittee. In some manner, the mem
bers induced the printer to print the
Mils, labeling them "House Commit
tee Substitute for House Roll 339.”
House Roll 339 is the gasoline tax
bill reported out by the committee.
"Bills’* Ordered Removed.
Copies of these bills were distrib
uted to house members today. Frank
P. Corrlck. chief clerk, ordered them
removed from bill files of the mem
bers. Keck announced he would cor
rect the irregularity. Johnson of
AVashington, asserted he would pre
sent the amendment when the gas
tax bill comes up for consideration be
fore the house. It Is doubtful If the
state will'pay cost of the printing of
the “bills.*
A bill empowering cities and vil
lages to acquire municipal lighting or
water plants or extend the service
without issuing bonds was reported
out today by the house Judiciary
committee. This bill has been the
subject of a bitter onslaught from
power and water plant interests and
was reported out by a narrow mar
gin. Under terms of the bill acquisi
tion or extension may be realized by
contracting to pay costa out of pro
ceeds in regular Installments.
The senate committee has reported
out the McGowan movie bill with
amendments. As the bill now stands
movie theaters charging more than
35 cents for admission are denied the
right to show advertising films.
Oleo Tax Bill Killed.
Another troublesome bill, forcing
the board of control to purchase but
tsr for state institutions and discon
tinue use of oleomargarine, was re
ported out by the senate committee
on state institutions. Farm organiza
tions supporting the bill asserted Its
passage would insure a 10-cent per
pound increase In price of butter.
Another bill imposing a 3-cent tax on
oleomargarine has been killed In com
mittee.
The senate adjourned today until
12:30 Tuesday while the house has ad
journed until 2 AVednesday. Such an
adjournment Is customary on March
1, the usual end of the fiscal year on
farms.
After considerable debate the sen
ate advanced a bank bill to third
reading which clarifies the guaranty
fund commission law and states
specifically that management of falltd
banks He* primarily In the hands of
the guarantee fund commission.

Wolf Hunt Tactics

Harvard. Feb. 17.—Coyotes here
are ‘‘educated" In the tactics of a
wolf hunt. Although numerous
coyotes have been reported in the
communities south of here, two re

KARNAK IS TAKING
OMAHA BY STORM
Biggest Sensation in History of the Drug j
Trade Being Created by Sensational j
Medicine at Sherman & McConnell’s, j
NOTHING LIKETTHAS EVER ]
BEEN SEEN HERE BEFORE i
Predicted That Distribution in Omaha 1
of Master Health Builder Will Com
pletely Smash All Previous Phenom- <
enal Records.
---A- <
The biggest thing in Omaha today is Karnak. <
Nothing like it has'fever been seen here before. Ever j
since the opening day of the sale, hundreds throng the J
Sherman & McConnell Drug Store eager for the marvelous i
medicine that is producing such remarkable results.
The fact is evident t*hat the people of Omaha are fully ;
informed concerning Karnak and every day increasing ,
numbers come prepared to purchase a supply. Men and wo- *
men of all ages, rich and poor alike, rub elbows in their
common desire for the medicine that is overcoming so much ^
human suffering and distress. <
When seen last night, I,. M. Carroll,(
Special Karnak Representative, re.
marked “This is the greatest demon
stration 1 have ever seen, and T bra\e
iteen in this business a great many
years.
Demand Taxed laboratories.
"I feel safe in predicting that the
demand for Karnak in Omaha will
completely smash aft previous phe
namenal sales records and my only
hope Is that we will be able to keep
production up to the tremendous re
quirements.
"You see Karnak cannot tie com
pounded In a minute. The necessary
process rvf combining all the nine veg
etable Ingredients so that dpeh will do
Its part in bringing about I he proper
action of the various deranged or in
flamed digestive organa of the body is
one that requires tlms.
“pn you see it Is quite a job to meet
such an enormous demand as we are
now experiencing.**
When asked to what he ascribes the
tremendous popularity of Karnak,
Mr. Carroll answered:
"Merit alone Is responsible for the
tremendous success of Karnak.
"Karnak Is well advertised, it is
true, hut it takes more than advertls
Ing to bring about such a large and
rapidly growing demand.
Results Are tlie Proof.
"Tt'e what the people themselves,
who h«\e actually tried It, have to
aav about Karnak that counts. One
bottle Is aolil through advertising but
10 more are sold In that ronvhuntty
afiee the first bottle produces re
suits, and that* where Karnak
score*.
"People are always willing to talk
about their ailments but they are
more willing to fell otlieia */ the
medicine that helps them. It s
something they couldn't keep to
themselves If they tried, for the Im
pulse to sympathize with suffering
fi lends and tielglhm* and want to
help them Is one of the strongest a*
well as one of the biggest things
In human nature.
‘‘Karnak brlnga about real and sub
stantial benefits In the way of health,
atrength and vigor. It Is a truly
wonderful reconstructive tonic and
body builder. And the prompt action
of Its Ingredient* I* remarkable. You
can tell after (he first few dear* that

If food sours on your stomach, caus

If you feel heavy and drowsy after <
eating—If your tongue Is coated and *
your breath offensive—If your ap
