'
from Chicago to Omaha the load of a single box car.
Conceding this to be a day's work for the great air
ship, fifty days would be needed to carry the load of
a single freight train.
Twenty-four hours on the way for the freight
train also means something. N'ot so very long ago
hut a lot of folks who made the trip can recall it,
the fastest passenger trains consumed twenty-four
hours between Omaha and Chicago. In those days
“merchandise” freight trains were whirled along at
the then terrifying speed of fifteen miles an hour.
Subject to delays in division yards and elsewhere, a
car of such freight might reach Omaha from Chicago
in four days, if all conditions were favorable. Also,
if loaded to rapacity, the car contained fourteen
tons of freight.
Indeed, the present is an age of speed. The hum
ble freight train has caught something of the spirit
of the day. If it keeps on growing, its place in the
world's life will he as secure as the tracks on which
it runs.
FAKE SCHOOLS A MENACE.
Confession of the manager of a so-called “uni
versity” at Chicago that he furnished disease germs
lor the purpose of a murder brings a new light on
the fake school. Doctors, lawyers, ministers, and
others of the learned professions know full well the
danger that dwells in the “diploma factory.” Also,
they know the difficulty in locating and eradicating
the fakers.
Many legitimate courses of instruction are car
ried on by correspondence. These are not to be con
fused' with those who lure suckers by imposing claims
and promises impossible of fulfillment. Yet, there
is no reason to think that all who patronize these in
stitutions are to be listed as suckers. Designing
charlatans are still numerous enough, and usually
they trace back to one of the schools of the kind
that are complained of. Down in Connecticut, last
fall, much commotion was caused hy the discovery
of a clique of “doctors” who were densely ignorant
of even the rudiments of the art of healing. These
had preyed on the gullible, actually had killed a num
ber of persons by attempting to perform operations
for which they were unfit.
The law overtook and punished these, hut others
flourish. Our national makeup is responsible for this
fact. Ode of the remarkable traits of American
character is that the word of an educated, trained
and experienced man will be questioned when he
says he can not do a certain thing, and that of an
ignorant, impertinent quack will be taken as gold
simply because he asserts he can do it. This is not
mere gullibility; it is obstinate contrariness.
Fake schools are a menace, for they afford a
foundation and a background for fake healers. Even
when not guilty of providing germs to potential mur
derers, they afford license to prey on misery and
suffering. Usually the victims are those who least
can hear the affliction, so that their suffering is dou
bled.' When such institutions are wiped out an ad
vance for the race may be noted.

Something Wrong at IJiicoln.
Firm the Kearney JIub.
It will be necessary fur Nebraska
legislatures to change their attitude
toward the higher institutions of
learning/—speaking of the state uni
versity and state teachers’ colleges—*
if we are to have a well rounded,
properly housed and efficiently
equipped fylurntiooal system which
will compete with the systems of
other states. It does not follow that
liberality is extravagance, but it is
barely possible that economy may he
more properly termed parsimony.
There has been a lime, not very far
distant in the past, when our legisla
tors showed a pride in the state's edu
cational institutions and their con
stituents were alert and aggressive
wherever there might he the least sign
of disloyalty. But legislators have be
come captious and constituents have
become careless, until now it is Quite
the rule for the responsible executives
of those institutions to go begging to
secure sufficient, appropriations for
hare maintenance.
Appropriations for university and
leathers’ colleges permit those insti
tutions to exist, with underpaid facul
ties. and without .sufficient funds dur
ing summer school seasons to employ
leathers for these summer students.
Where buildings ate needed to care
for expansion they are denied. Where
juiedd facilities are required they are
ignored. Where decent maintenance
is rightfully expected they are com
pelled to go hungry.
Probably the most Important of all
considerations at present Is that, of
housing facilities. Bight here It is
well to say that we have passed the
■ piece-meal" period, when education
al needs, personal pride and business
intelligence demand plans to cover
certain period*, and a survey of the
work required in Nebraska should
< onvince us that a 10-year period is
none too long. Kvidently this is
what. Nebraska educators thought
when the incomparable sum of one
eighth of a mill for the university and
1*2f»th of a mill for the teachers’ col
leges was asked of the present legisla
ture.
These levies, small as they are. and
meaning so little to the taxpayers of
Nebraska, would provide for well
planned constructive work that would
round out, harmonize and beautify
eac h of these educational plants, and
make them fit in every respect for the
work in which they are engaged—not
the work of presidents, professors and
preceptor*, but the work of every citi
zen of Nebraska. What any citizen
thinks of educational methods 1« not
at all in point. These are our sc hools.
\\> should not starve them any more
than we should starve our children,
and no more disparage them than we
would humiliate our own sons and
daughters. It is time that legislative
halting of our educational Institu
tions should be made the most un
popular and hazardous pastime that
members of the legislature can In
dulge in.

That King Kalnkaiia.
Chicago.—To the Editor of The
Omaha Bee: At sweet Jt>, when 1
was in boarding school in Europe, we
girls of all parts of the world, a bunch
;is silly as some of the silly flappers
of today, we had our imaginary thrill
of life, being near King Kalakaua
when he traveled around the world in
1881. He visited all principal cities
and was entertained as a royal guest.
'The people turned out ,as they did to
see Barnum’x American circus, with
its gilded coaches and wild animal
wagons. Ho was a splendid built six
footer and. I suppose, a beauty in our
young eyry*. Blit, as this Omaha, lady
did, kiss him—not on your life—brrl
The only excuse or explanation is
that she was a missionary and prob
ably saw only his saved white soul.
This king played a great part in
our vacations, when we exchanged
our happenings while away at school,
as only girls of that age enjoy
and glory in. We all had bought his
photograph as a treasured souvenir,
and it was great fun to see the sur
prise and disappointment, when his
picture with his printed autograph
came forth—the king of our hearts
with wooly head and negro features,
as the conversation invariably turned
to our latest.
If those Omaha people knew- some
cif the unconventional and uncivilized
stunts ire did at entertainments, call
ed stag parties at this age, they would
not fe«*l so honored having been once
(lose to this royal highness, who,
when in his national garb was as
scantily attired as the present-day film
star or society quern. But to some u
king is a king, even the ruler of some
cannibal or savage tribe.
His photo, which was still In my
sc hoolday diary, I threw away only a
year ago. not dreaming that, anyone
would be interested in this man dead
and gone since 1891. Gladly I would
have presented it to Mr. Gueien Steph

As counsel drew the line* of battle

WHO WILL .WRITE THE BILL?
Promise of a further reduction in the federal
tax rate is sicklied over by the thought of what hap
pened to the last one. Andrew Mellon, secretary of
the treasury, presented to the president, and he to
the congress, a measure that was designed to ac
complish a definite object. Too much monpy was
teing taken from taxpayers under the revenue law.
Reduction was necpssary, and accordingly a method
was worked out that was scientifically exact, and the
the application of which would have done harm to
none and might have beriefitted all.
But the opportunity was too good to he over
looked by the politicians in congress. Not, since
Claude Kitchin presented his famous revenue law
of 1917 was there such glee in house and senate as
was stirred up by the Mellon bill of 1924. No mat
ter how little any critic might know of the principles
of taxation, he took a running start and landed on
the measure feet first. It wras kicked and trampled
out of all semblance to its original condition. When
it finallly emerged from the conference committee it
did not even look like the bill the house passed after
dealing with two substitutes for the Mellon plan.
• Nor did it greatly resemble the measure the senate
had substituted for the house output. It was, how
ever, a triumph for the political necromancers, who
work wonders where simple things would do so much
better.
Now, Mr. Mellon Is going to try his luck again.
He has consulted with Chairman Green of the house
ways and means committee, and others who will have
something to say about the passage of a revenue
law. His hope is to get a measure that will raise
revenue without laying undue burden on any. One
under which enterprise will he encouraged, produc
tive use of capital stimulated, and the needs as well
as the rights of property regarded. Such a bill can
be framed, not to suit the views of everybody, but to
accomplish its purpose, that of producing revenue
and without being unduly burdensome.
However, John Nance Garner of Texas and Finis
James Garrett of Tennessee still are on thp job.
Each of these has his views on the matter of rev
enue, the most profound of which is that any plan
that comes from a republican source is a had one.
They have their following, and “Uncle Andy” may
he assured in advance that his plan to cut taxes will
have to run the gauntlet provided by the leaders
from Texas and Tennessee. Mellon may write the
hill at the start, but who will write the one that
goes on the book will be settled only after long
debate.
“AFTER US, THE DELUGE.”
Four hundred pine trees, we are told, were trans
ported from Maine to decorate a hall room in New
York. The lady who was hostess on the occasion
wanted to produce a sylvan effect. She probably
did. Four hundred pine trees ought to make any
ball room look like a lodge in a wilderness.
Something more is to be regarded. Just now
the greatest stress is being laid on the need of grow
ing more trees. Particularly pine trees. F.ach
year the supply of lumber is growing less. Five
times as many trees are bping used as are being re
placed. President Coolidge has urged the Ameri
can people to observe “Forest Tree” week, in hope
of engendering a desire to replace forest growth,
to the end that the future -will not spp the United
States devoid of timber resources.
Yet for the decorations of a “ingle night at a
dancing party, 400 trees are cut down and trans
ported from Maine to New York. This is more
than a costly whim. It. really is a crime against the
future. But it is an illustration of the carelessness,
the waste, the extravagance, that has brought us
to the present state of affairs. In 1924 fire des
troyed growing timber over an area equal to a strip
ten miles wide and reaching from Denver to New
York. Nine out of every ten of the more than 95,
000 forest fires last year were caused by careless
ness.
Unless there is an amendment to the present
attitude of Americans on this question, (he next
generation will he overtaken by the deluge. Even
this is feeling it. One of the items of the $r,,000,
000,000 building hill the nation will pay this year
is $250,000,000 in freight on lumber from the Paci
fic northwest, present source of supply. The answer
is to plant trees, not to cut them down for decora
tions. We are pasturing the cow too far from home.
SPEEDING UP COMMERCE.
While advocates of air-borne commerce still
present their claims of ability to annihilate distance,
the old mogul locomotive and clumsy box car imitate
Bre’r Rabbit. That personage, you may recall, “jes’
lay low and say nuffin’.’’ Now railroads nre modestly
announcing that a car of freight thnt leaves Chicago
on Monday morning will be delivered in Omaha on
Tuesday morning. Compared with the regular four
hour schedule of the air mail flight, this does not
amount to much, but consider something else.
That car of freight will he around forty tons in
weight of goods carried. At least fifty cars will he
coupled into one train. Two thousand tons of freight,
^he Los Angeles, biggest of our airships, will lift
30,000 pounds in addition to its load of fuel, crew,
and the like. Fifteen tons. The Los Angeles would
have to make three round trip* in order to transport
OMAHA MIGHT TAKE NOTE.
Kansas City has just staged a very successful na
tional flower show. Both in number and variety of
exhibits, the affair was a success. More than that,
its influence bn the community is destined to be
good. The Times in commenting on the flower show
expresses a thought that may apply to Omaha, when
it says:
"This opportunity should he especially ap
preciated by Kansas City, which has i he National

extension of the residence sections. Consider the
number of pretentious homes, average houses and
pretty bungalows that have been built In recent

already has achieved through Its residential beauty.

Not that Omaha has not already given great at
tention to the work of beautifying the home places
by proper attention to the use of flowers and shrub
bery for decorating of lawna. We can show a visitor
loitir lovely spots. Yet there is room for improve
ment, and this is what might be urged. One of the
really gratifying facts is that in the newer parts of
the city greatest efforts have been made to enhance
the natural attractions of the sites by the addition
of flowers and plants of various kinds. Commendable
as this work is, it should be extended. Room for bet
