For Uniform Laws.
The variegated reception of the In
come tax amendment among the gov
ernors and legislatures is a fair indica
tion of the usual difficulty of getting
states to agree concerning any measure.
The president's suggestions to the con
ference of governors and also to the
Clvli! Federation can be regarded only
as a national crystallization of senti
ment that may aid In securing such
conformity of legislation among the
states as the people may deem desirable
on subjects which they are not ready
to yield up to congress. Some funda
mentals with which states seek, to deal
Individually have been topics of ar
gument for uniformity for a long time,
such as the divorce lawn, yet that one
subject alone finds the states so hope
lessly divided that it is doubtful if a
national law will soon If ever take the
place of state regulation. Similarly,
each state will cling to its own incor
poration methods, even should the na
tional Incorporation act become a law.
There are many matters In which
the independence of the state Is so
closely Involved that natural Jealousy
will not be ready to surrender separate
activity to uniform endeavor. - Occa
sionally neighboring states find it op
portune to act Jointly where both are
directly concerned, as witness the co
operation of New York and New Jersey
for the preservation of the Palisades.
And in such affairs as the reform of
Judicial procedure, it may well be that
many states might be persuadedlto pat
tern somewhat after the federal effort,
but even there differences -would arise
later, for the reform desire t or needed
In each state is not always the same.
Congress occasionally pAfscs a law that
proveB to' be beneficial! to all states
that originally held divergent views,
the present national bankruptcy act
being a case in point, but the right to
pass that particular law for uniformity
is distinctly granted by the constitu
tion, although the states may have
their own statutes In the absence of a
national law, yet so varying are local
conditions that national bankruptcy
acts have had a checkered career and
have at times suffered repeal for long
periods, while the states adjusted their
own conditions.
Uniform laws among the states are
desirable along many lines, but it will
take persistent effort to bring them
about and to preserve them when once
on the statute book.
1 Congressional Delaj.
The reluctance shown in the filing of
the administration bills for conserva
tion by the chairman or the house com
mittee on public lands, who has
measures of his own to foster, may not
be consequential, but it serves to re
mind the public,, that congressional de
lay is the factor that'must be reckoned
with for any failure to promote the
executive program. From the views of
the president thi, congressmen have the
unquestioned ight to differ, but with
one or two exceptions the policies pre
sented by; Mrf.Taft to the house have
been based on, the platform pledges on
which both he and the members of
congress were elected.
As the president, of, the whole coun
try, Mr, Taft has been alert to do ms
duty in putting such measures squarely
before the representatives. Any action
retarding the conservation -bills be
cause the chairman of the committee
in charge had an especial constituency
whose Interests he believes to be at
variance presents a peculiar situation.
It would seem as though the president
were entitled to have his bills pre
sented without undue,' and prejudicial
delay, when it is known that they con
form to the wishes of the people and;
the pledges of the party". The introT
ductlon of a bill is only the first step
and the halting of such measures on
the very threshold lsa congressional
move in. the policy of delay that too
conspicuously hampers that serious
work which the people, have a right to
expect from the present session.
The Kansas Tax Decision.
The judicial determination of a vexed
point of constitutional law is aptly
illustrated in the case involving the
Kansas corporation fe act, which has
Just been adjudged void by the' United
States supreme court. The fact that
three separate opinions were filed in
dlcates the divergent ; interpretations
that may obtain among the wisest and
best trained minds, yet out of the dlf
ferences is evolved the decree that sub
stantiates , the theory , of safety-ln
multitude of counselors.
That the controlling opinion is
against the Kansas act is 'not unex
pec ted, In view of the precedents estab
llshed in like cases. When the Western
Union appealed from the state's effort
to tax lt as a condition precedent to
doing business in Kansas, a similar at
tltude. toward commercial travelers and
Insurance companies had been deter
mined as unwarranted interference
with interstate commerce, and in the
case of a common carrier like the West
ern Union there was the possibility
that local exactions might drive the
corporation altogether from the field.
It may be that if a state required such
a tax of its native , corporations it
might maintain the' right to exact it
also from foreign corporations; but it
each state were to tax all foreign char
ters, where would, the burden end? If
a per cent tax. for Instance, were
legal, why not 20? Such a privilege
might be bul)t. up ,into a Chinese wall
about a coiutuouwealth and Interstate
commeroe completely shut out. ,
The suggestion of some kind of a
whistle to give public notice when the
schools lh be closed on account of bad
weather has a plausible sound, but the
trouble w 111 be to make it work in prac
tice. The number of pupils who would
hear imaginative whitstlos whenever
they happened to be absent from school I
would soon be appalling.
On the Forward March.
Successive announcements of big
real ptta doaia tnnktna! inward sub-
stantial building Improvements em
phasise the fact that Omaha is on the
forward march and making strides
such as never before made In the hls-
tnr nf thsi Htv.
To an observer who tries to get these
pending and Impending change, in the
city', configuration in their proper per-
soectlve it .eem. that the physical out-
lines of the city are becoming definitely
more fixed, that the business districts
are becoming permanently established
for retail and wholesale trade and that
the lines of future development are be
coming deeply drawn.
The Jobbing district of Omaha has
been determined by the location of rail
way trackage so essential to establish
ments that are constantly receiving and
dispatching large shipments of goods.
The retail district Is being centered at
the most Important central accessible of being bullies to the honor of being of
polnt and the permanent location ot (fleers and gentlemen; It Is the latter not
our financial institutions and large
office buildings is likewise being grad
ually settled.
There vwlll, of course, be continued
expansion and outspreading in various
directions, but the first movement
should be, and probably will be, the
filling in of these central areas with
solid and impressive buildings suitable
to the purposes of their most effective
use.
The Omaha property owner, and the
foreign capitalist, who fallB In with
this movement and helps push it along
Is bound to draw handsome returns in
the Inevitable future growth of Omaha.
Old-Age Pensions.
Because It is the first report of any
such official Investigation in this coun
try, the opinion filed in the state kmise
at Boston by the Massachusetts com
mission on old age pensions, annu
ities and insurance is sure to attract
general attention. The commission's
rejection of the British- scheme of non
contributory pensions is so emphatic
that the corollary comes as expected
In the -unanimous advisement against
the enactment of any general pension
legislation by the commonwealth. Bills
are submitted for the pensioning of
public employes in state, counties,
cities and towns, based on the con t rib u
tory system, with co-operative control,
and the legislature is urged to make
the old age commission permanent with
a view to fostering retirement systems
among the employers of labor. But for
the state to attempt old age pensions
is pronounced distinctly un-American
The sentiment in Massachusetts is
therefore found to' be largely that of
the people elsewhere. The country
already has many excellent methods of

Some of the democratic papers are
finding- fault because Secretary Royse
of the State Banking board is drawing
compensation at the increased rate
fixed by the late democratic legislature
notwithstanding the fact that the new
banking law embracing the deposit
guaranty feature, enacted by the same
legislature, has not become operative.
The real complaint of the democrats is
that Secretary Royse has managed to
hold on to the office as against the at-
temDt of Governor Shallenberger to
put a democrat in his place. If Gov
ernor Shallenberger a democratic ap
pointee were only drawing the salary
attached to the banking board's secre
taryship, not a democratio paper would
be peeping.
. It will be noticed that the man who

Nebraska Voices
west ginger of Beatrice, "Where
the Wind Blows All the Time,"
Xnde Harmony to the Tolume.
St. Louis Ulobe-tomocrat.
I Voices have ere now cume out of N
braska for the charming ot multitudes.
The winds of Nebraska breathe upon the
vocal chorda and make them concordant
of sweet sounds. Hough and rasping as the
Nebraska wind Is to one who takes its bite.
It carries musio on its loud-flapping wings
to such as suck It In with an open mouth
and an understanding heart. The winds ot
Nebraska are a standing refutation of the
old theory that the human voice can only
be fanned Into sweetest expression of feel
ing by the gentle sephyrs of Mediterranean
or Adriatic shores, where the soft Insou
ciance of wind and wave blend Into har
monies of which the singing voice Is but
a natural part. The Nebraska wind blows
not off spiced Islands or scented orange
groves. It howls down Wind river valley
and the only wave It dallies with on Its
way Is that of the Platte, In which there
Is always more' of quicksand than of
Insouciance. But, handicapped as It Is, it
has made voices to rival those of Mia
Riviera Itself.
Across the divide between the Missouri
river and the great bend of the Platte,
this phenomena of nature is most manifest.
There the Nebraska wind leaps to an an
nihilation of distance1 In Its"" ciiuerness to
find that south where Insouciance will be
possible for It. It rages over Lincoln and
storms above Beatrice, lying close together
In Its path. But out of Lincoln has come
a' voice musical enough to charm even a
donkey and hold it charmed for lo. these
many years. And now Beatrice has given
to the world of song a Miss Mary Lasalle,
jum uiscoverea in iew xork, to nave a
voice of that sweetness and power which
warrant great Impresarios In saying that
she Is destined to shine, a star In the
operatic world. "We lived In Beatrice,"
says Miss Lasalle simply, "and we think
sweetly, where the wind blows all the time,
nd where the Jackrabblt, the coyote and
the wheat fields thrive."
It Is not always In sweet waves of sound,
made by soft airs from tropic seas, steeped
in the perfume of orange grovea. that sweet
voices are attuned. The howl of the covote.
borne upon a wind which- never whispers
and often roars, In a land In which nothing
but the hardier grains can grow, can also
nurture throats strung to perfect melody.
Lincoln has proved It once. Beatrice, an
hour's ride from Lincoln, and as much Inl
the path of the Wind river wind, proves It
now again. And history has repeated Itself
In more ways than one. It was In Chicago
that the voice of Bryan of Lincoln first
charmed the donkey. It was In Chicago,
too, that Miss Lasalle first found a ca
pacious ear to hearken to her. Iter musical
success since then has been as great as has
that of Mr. Bryan. Nobody now denies the
fine quality of her voice, as nobody has
ever denied the fine quality of his. She,
like Mr. Bryan, can never be president, but
she will, like htm, charm multitudes with
the muBlo of her tones, and, Ifke him, she
will make somebody, pay for the music.
She, like Bryan, can console herself for
the "loss of an empty bauble of a presi
dency, with guarantees, regardless of the
ftgate reoetpits. Each of them commands our
admiration. But together they command
our pride -and love as hurling back wtth
scorn, and burying under an avalanche of
proof, the old slander that effete foreign
lands can make a better noise than we can
make here.- Long live the Platte! Long live
the Wind rlver valley! t
CA ti OF THB FAItm.
Land Cultivation More Profitable
Than City Jobs.
Cleveland Leader.
One great truth which Btands out from
all the tangle of fact and error and guess
ing and theorizing on the " Increased cost
of living Is the comparative Immunity of
those who live on farms from the worst
effects of the rise In market values. Most
of the food they eat Is produced', or can
easily be produced, on their own land.
They get It, or can get It, at cost price to
the producer. Their shelter is found under
roofs which are tholrs. If they own their
farms. If not, the rent Is very low, com
pared with the scale of living In cities and
towns. The need of clothing Is less, other
things being equal. In the country than it Is
In the cities. The temptations to spend
money lor many tnings are much nar
rowed.
On the other hand, 'the rise In food
staples, the burden of which there ls.mos
bitter complaint in cities and towns, In
creases the farmer's chances of profits
from his land and his labor. He makes
money by the changes In values which
cause the loudest grumbling In urban com
munitles, great and , small. The food he
consumes is only a very Bmall fraction of
the quantity which he sells. The higher
gialn and meats, eggs and poultry, milk
ana cutter, rruit and vegetables, rise the
greater his harvests are in their market
value.
It Is perfectly clear that however prone
the cities are to exagerate the rewards of
agriculture the lot of the farmer, espe
cially the farmer who tills his own land
ana worxs nis rarm. In large part, with
his own hands, is changing for the better.
If he can make nothing more than
modest living now, he was certainly worse
off a few years ago. If he was able
clear a rair profit then he can do batter
under existing conditions. The economic
changes are much. In favor of the land
owner who manages his own farm.
Meanwhile,, country life Is gaining
in
other ways. It Is not so lonely as It used

EUMBLE SEAT ROMANCE.
Minna Irving In Leslie's.
A pretty, maiden tired of golf, .
And bridge, and tennis, too,
Went out and bought a motor-coat
And filmy veil of blue.
And then she got an auto-car,
A model new and neat, .
It was a sporty runabout
And had a rumble seat.
'sho'tled'the veil conuettishly'r ' ;,n
Beneath her dimpled chin, 1
And with her sister at her side .
Went out to take a spin. .
And as they sat In front she cried,
In accents silver sweet,
"I wish a young and, handsome, man
Was In the rumble seat."
She looked so fair behind the wheel.
So graceful and so gay,
She captivated old and young
And stole their hearts away.
And when a dashing college youth
One day she chanced to meet,
He yielded to her girlish charms
And took the rumble seat. '
Along the winding country roads
They motored far and wide,
And soon the ardent lovor changed
His place unto her side.
Love's old sweet story as they sped
He managed to. repeat;
Her sister always after that ,
Rode In the rumble seat. V.
Three times since then the golden-rod
Has gilded vale and hill;
The drives tho racy runabout
With him beside her still.
And now to makn their rosy dream
Of hnpplness complete
A chubby younster and his nurse
Are In the rumble seat.
