ARE FOR IMMEDIATE RELIEF
Oiaha Socialists Talk Over Help for
the Unemployed.
WANT TAX LEVIED ON VALUES
Woild Have, Complete Socialisation
of All Collectively Used Indus
tries Socialism la Its En
tirety Is Needed.
'Immediate Relief for Unemployed"
was the subject of discission at the
Wednesday night meeting of the Omaha
socialists. State and government pro
ductive . enterprises, reclamation, refor
estation i, and permanent road building
were proposed as proper and profitable
solutions of the problem.
The socialists arranged to appoint a
committee to draft a plan of action to
be submitted to the legislature this win
ter. Methods of financing the projects pro
posed as a means of doing away with
unemployment were discussed and some
of the things proposed wero:
Direct Issue of government notes that
would be full legal tender.
A tax on land values.
And, chiefly, the complete socializa
tion of all collectively used Industries.
There "was a unanimous opinion that
conditions would only be temporarily and
Partially Improved until socialism in its
entirety was seoured.
However, th members attending the
meeting agreed that . "reforms" under
capitalism should be taken as it was
possible to secure them, rather than to
spurn-every effort at, alleviation until
the whole socialist plan could be adopted.
Hans Nielsen Has
Unusual Experience
With Angora Feline
"Hurry quick, ' there is - somebody Is
being murdered out here!" The preceding
cry waa sent through the telephone at
police headquarters and a wagon load of
stalwart "bulls" rushed to Fortieth and
Redlck avenue, from where the appeal
started. Amongst the number was Hu
mane Officer Hans Nielsen, with with
"cannon" la hand, led the charge into
the home of Ralph White, next door to
where the appeal was sent from. As
Hans approached the window the cries
increased In vigor. Hans cautiously
opened the aperture and was Immediately
struck In the face by a furry ball.
Following this onslaught th cries
ceased. Further investigation on the part
of Hans and his fellow "bulls" revealed
the staitllng fact that Mr. and Mrs.
Ralph White left before Christmas to
visit relatives In South Dakota; that be
fore leaving they took their Angora cat
to a friend's home in Florence; that th
cat ran away, came back home, gained
entrance to th house and then forgot
how t get out again.
Han speaks Danish fluently, and there
being a number of women present, ad
dressed the cat In this language most
vigorously.
New Year's Dinner

.Eeal Live Burglar
Half a dozen policemen with revolvers
drawn rushed Into the cellar of Clarence
Barrowclo'jr' home . at- 2607 Decatur
street at 4 o'clock this morning where a
burglar was said to be hiding. .
As Detective Johnnie Dunn and Patrol
man Sch wager reached the last step go
ing down, they heard a board move be
hind the furnace. ,
"Come on out of there, fellow! We've
got you covered!" both exclaimed, cock
ing their pistols.
Police Chauffeur Lester Warner and
Motorcycle Officer I,yman Wheeler, who
were guarding the front and rear of th
home, moved in at the sound of their
comrade's voice. ,
"Come on out, I say!" repeated Dunn
and Schwager.
The "burglar" walked slowly out from
behind the furnace, blinked sleepily at
the police searchlights and then uttered
a discordant "quack."
It was the New Year's dinner for the
family and the duck had escaped from
Its crate.
