Democrats Vote Away Their Occupa

pletelr .Mew Election
Of fleers.
The democratic rnemtiets of the city
council voted away the only political Issue
they had In the present campaign Friday
morning, which was that an occupation
tax should Immediately be levied on all
the public service corporations. The Issue
was evaporated when the council took up
In special session an amendment to the
occupation ta ordinance, which waa In
troduced and passed last fall by tha re
publicans. The amendment provides that
If tha Omaha & Council Hluffi Htreet Rail
fay company shall complete Ita West L
street car Una before July 1, H'10, then
the operation of the occupation tax will
be suspended until the year 1915. The
democratic members who voted for this
measure were George Hoffman, Matt
Peterson and John Hasburgh.
Thle showa that the democratic conten
tion In faror of an Immediate occupation
tax levy Is not In food faith, for by this
. action they save the street car company
five years' leeway. As to the other public
eervlce corporations they are already pay
ing a royalty based on the gross receipts
i" of the company at a rate of 3 per cent,
t 'it is believed no court would permit
the levy of another tax of 3 per cent, based
on the gross receipts, which Is the propo
sition of the occupation tax. First, the
' royalty would have to be repealed and the
occupation tax substituted, and this
mounts aimply to a change, from the name
"royalty" to the name "occupation" tax.
with no Increase of the revenues. Voters,
therefore, have come to believe the mighty
issue of tha democrats Is simply a hollow
elusion, since the democrats by their vote
Friday morning fixed the position of the
. street railway company, which Is the only
, Company not paying a royalty.
Democrats Cornered.
' As to the position of the republicans on
'f' this question that haa been publicly known
'" and is presented without apology. All the
republicana voted for the proposed amend
ment because they believed It was right
The democrats were afraid that West L
treet citizens would recede from the party
If the street car line was hindered, so
they did not besltate to compromise their
Issue.
The following is the amended section of
the ordinance which was passed by the
Unanimous vote of the city council relating
to the occupation tax issue of the cam
paign; Section 7 of said ordinance shall be
amended to read as follows:
Section 7. That If the Omaha & Council
Bluffs Street Railway company efore
juiy l, iiu, snail build and construct a
line of street railway through the Union
Block yards of South Omaha and over
West L street to the Burlington railroad
viaduct, aid thereafter shall operate said
line on a reasonable schedule, the fore
going provisions of this ordinance shall
not apply to said company for a period of
five years; and In considci utiun of the con-
structlnn and operation of said line of
' street railway and as an Inducement for
aid company to construct and operate said
line, no occupation tax shall he required
to be pa'd by said company prior to Jan
uary 1. 11115. i'rovlded, that within ten
days from the paaaaga of this urtilnano
the saUl-tfompmiy shall agree in writing
i to construct and operate na:d line. Ayes

Criticism of Newcomer.
W. B. Daly, who presumes to eaj things
In the South Omaha municipal campaign
through the columns of the democratic
papers, Is a man hardly qualified to en
large on municipal affairs, having been In
the city of houth Omaha lesa than a year.
He tame to .South Omaha from WesninKton
rjprlnfcs, ' S. I)., In July or August of last
year. He exhibits great knowledge of the
record of Suulh Omaha citizens for the
last twenty-three) years. In Mr. Daly's let
ter. to the World-Herald of recent date he
declares that James Koiera Is not qualified
to declare what constitutes a man's good
record as amnion man because he bas only
been organizer for the American Federation
of Labor for a, year, although It Is true
that Mr. Kotera has been a union man for
fifteen year In Boutti Omaha. The same
rule would put Mr. Daly far Into the tall
timber. " ' " '
The Coaacil Meetla-.
The South Omaha city council met In
Special session Friday morning for the pur
pone of transacting long-delayed business
of the session. The regular order'of busi
ness waa taken up, ,hlch included the ap
pointment of two- extra judges and clerks
of each precinct to serve on election day.
This matter wss settled without any fric
tion between the democratic and lepuhl!
ran members. John Hashurgh Introduced
the resolution making the appointments
snd naming the men which each party
had selected. This was unanimously1
adopted.
The dimocratlc couricllmen, und'r advice
from the city attorney, propped to pur
chase the P. J. Barrett property, consist
ing of six acres to be added to Mandan
park In the southeast section of the city.
The republicans refused to vot for the
purchase at this time on the ground that
the city had not yet sold the Ii5.00u park
bonds and that, therefore, no funds were
available. As soon aa the bonds are sold
the council will be unanimous for the pur
chase which Is recommended by the park
board. The reason why the democrats
were so" anxious to make the purchase was
the hope to conciliate a faction In that
section of the city by the practical route.
The routine matters contained the report
of the finance committee allowing all the
bills and salaries for the month and allow
ing transfers to balance seveial funds on
the books of the city treasurer, who had
in several cases advanced money on his
personal account.
J. D. Jones, live stock Inspector, reported
the condemnation of fourteen cattle and
three sheep during the month.

London Papers
Now Side with
Col. Roosevelt
Saturday Reriew Sayi he Blundered
Into Egyptian Politics, But
Cleverly Blunderi Out.
lX."DOV. April 2. Colonel Roosevelt's
speech before the students of the Uni
versity of Egypt at Cairo last Monday con
tinues a meaty subject for the editorial
wrltera of the London newspapers. Today
the week-end Journals take It up with
avidity, but their opinions are extremely
diverse. The Incursion of Colonel Roosevelt
Into Egyptian politics has displeased the
liberal organs, but it is applauded by those
of the conservstlves, which contend that
the British policy In Egypt Is weak-kneed.
The Saturday Review says:
"Though Colonel Roosevelt rushed Intj
the Egyptian problem, he bas not. at any
rate, spoken like a fool; but had he had
an Idea of the extreme delicacy of the
position In Egypt he would have kept upon
safer ground. It Is to his credit, however,
that, having blundered In. he blundered out
again In the right direction."
The Spectator say It Is surprised to see
a speech so wise and so honorable to the
man who made It characterised by the
Westminster Gazette as an Indiscretion,
and thinks that all good men should wel
come the wholesome doctrine It contained.
The Outlook also considers that Colonel
Roosevelt touched upon tender grounds. It
says, however, that the movement for
Egyptian Independence sustained a sharp
setback from a quarter from which Its
promoters expected sympathy, If not support.
