Cupid's Agent Has
, His Nose Pulled ;
by an Applicant
Fred O. Williams, a blacksmith of
Osage, la., aa the result of a previous
interview with an April fool joker, se
verely pulled Herbert It. Stubenc'orf's
nose as the marriage license clnrk was
attempting; to secure Information to be
recorded in his books aa required by law.
It all proved afterward to have been a
mistake and the result of advice given
Williams that the license clerk might try
to be funny on April fool's day and that
he should stand for no nonsense. . Wil
liams ultimately left, declaring he would
get a license in Council Bluffs.
Williams showed a little Impatience as
ho answered detailed questions concerning
himself. ' Then Stubendorf asked:
"Who were the younsr woman's par
enter
Williams gave the Information. ..
"How old is sheT
"Twenty-three," he said, looking at
Stubendorf unpleasantly. -
"Has she ever been married before?"
"I heard that you - might try to Ret
fresh, young man," said Williams sternly,
"snd I'll just teach you a lesson."
He reached over the counter, grasped
Stubendorf 'a nose firmly, between his
powerful thumb and forefinger and gave
it a severe wrench.
This was the end of Williams' attempt
to' get married in Omaha.
Not single license was Issued April
feol'a day. - . '

A Passing Glanca at Mr.
Amman's Tax
Record
It is Interesting to peruse the public
record relating to Mr. Zlmman'a activ
ities on tax matters. He has consist
ently and Insistently stood for an equit
able tax that the small home owner may
not be unjustly burdened and that the
big Interests should stand their Just
share. This ha meant a bold stand at
times, but Mr. Zlmroan feel that the end
justified the means and that be can
stand upon his tax record with a feeling
of just pride. -
It will be remembered' that he took the
lead in the famous Board of Equalisation
meeting when the Real Estate exchange
sought to equalize the taxes by requir
ing the franchise corporations to pay
their share of the taxes and thus re
lieve the smaller taxpayers of an unjust
went to the front when the ter
minal tax fight was brought up. One of
his accomplishments in this connection
was the adoption by the republican state
convention of a terminal tax plank which
eventually : resulted in a law which is
now in operation.
Mr. Zlmman got on the firing line again
in his advocacy of ' an occupation tax
to be assessed against the public serv
ice corporations. He put his best effort
and thought into this fight and brought
thousands , to his way of thinking. The
result ha been that $760,000 of occupation
taxes have been paid into the city treas
ury, the present annual payment amount
ing to about (160,000. The corporations
fought Mr. Zlmman and his occupation
tax idea to the last ditch, ,but he did
not quit until the fight was won. '.
He has stood and still stands for a
low tax levy consistent with good mu
nicipal government. . He believes that by.
placing the taxation where it , belongs
the levy may be reduced to a Just basis.
The occupation tax is a striking in-,
stance of thla idea..
, Through the operation of the terminal
tax law the occupation tax and . other
tax reforms advocated and put through.
Mr. Zlmman has been instrumental in
enabling the city government to obtain
more money without taxing to the limit
the small bom owner, the storekeeper
and others of moderate mean.
He 'has appeared on various occasion
.before the Board of Equalisation and
urged Increase in the taxation 'of prop
erty of the street railway company, tele
phone company and the electriti light
company.
