Short Ballot Progjen.
While the whole short ballot program for
Nebraska has not been realized on, a fair meas
ure of progreas may be recorded aa a result of
the recent session of the legislature.
As a start toward abolition of useless offices,
the coronershlp hss been eliminated, and we
will not elect any more coroners- In the direc
tion of merger we bare a combination office of
county clerk and county comptroller, and the
prospective consolidation of all tn elective
office In South Omaha and the Other adjacent
villages by annexation to Omaha. Furthermore,
we hav the Justices of the peace In metropoli
tan cities reduced from six to two, and all the
constable made appointive Instead of elective.
These changes will cut several Inches off the list
of names to go on the ballot, which, by the way,
Is hereafter to be printed In three side-by-side
columns instead of shoestring-fashion.
The only short ballot move that failed
lengthening the terms of county officer to fonr
years failed because of the hoggish attitude of
present Incumbents Mocking It by Insisting on
the extension of their own terms as the price.
It goes without saying that term-extension Is no
necessary part of shortening the ballot, and the
next legislature should be able to accomplish
this reform without the Intrusion of the lobby
of county officers. The part of the short ballot
program which had no attention whatever I
that which would make member of the legisla
ture elective by districts, each with an Individual
constituency that could enforce responsibility.
Evidently the powers that be prefer the present
method of bunching the delegation, but this
reform will be eventually forthcoming.
On the whole, advocates of the short ballot
In this slate have every reason to feel encour
aged and to persist In their efforts.
Clote of the Chicago Hearings.
The sittings of the Industrial Relation com
mission in Chicago came to an end without fully
realizing the promise made for It before Its ses
sion opened. What Information waa carried In
tb presa reports of the proceedings of little
comfort to those who have been hoping the body
might turn up some new furrows. The Chicago
Inquiry developed the fact that certain big em
ployer of labor are opposed to the employment
of union labor. This fact was well known, aa
'were also the several reason given for the op
position, and 1 not of vital Importance to tha
great quest'on Involved In the social unrest of
the day. i
Bo far as It has proceeded In It work, the
commission ha brought out little, If anything,
that I new, but merely give official standing to
knowledge that la of little special value for
mitigating existing social inequalities. So far as
the Industrial relation are concerned, the labor
union know better than any other social group
can know that they must demonstrate their use
fulness to employer a well a to employed, and
that their success depend on tha service they
can give society. Labor union will continue to
meet with opposition, whatever tha conclusion
of the commission may be. This opposition will
continue to serve at a stimulus to greater effort
and better ways on part of the union, whoso
Imperfection are known to their thoughtful
member, who realize they must win out on
their merit rather than on their strength.
War Loam Hero and Abroad.
One of the peculiar development of the war
1 the fact that the government of tba various
belligerent countries find themselves able to bor
row money at come, not only In the amount re
quired, but actually cheaper than they can bor
row It abroad. Practically all these governments
are now floating short time securities or making
temporary loan in our American money market,
the proceeds being put to their credit to be drawn
gainst the payment of heavy purchase of sup
plies which they are making in this country. Dut
the discount and rate of Interest yielded by these
borrowing are greater than In their own finan
cial center.
This apparent discrepancy is doubtless to be
accounted for by several reasons, among them
the fact that subscription to government loan
I regarded la Europe a a patriotic duty, but
chiefly by the condition of exchange which
make tha transfer of actual money hazardous
and costly. If It were possible to borrow the
money' at home and ship It over here freely, the
Interest rate would be quickly equalized, but
there 1 quit enough risk In the one-way ship
ment of the goods that are bought. Thia condi
tion therefore I a purely war phenomenon. It
could not In the nature of thing continue In
accentuated degree after a return to the peace
batl.

a fight between the tna now aervtng aa commlsalonora
and the outa who would Ilka to get In.
Tha campaign la taking on aome life. There waa
complaint hecauae of unuaual ennui, an apathetic
political feeling In the community. Voters within tha
next two weeka majr look for soma pyrotechnlca.
Spring time la here and with It there cornea tha pep
and a dealra to get out and do thlnga. In fact, tha
alx antla. Zlmtnan, Kackett, Metcalfe, Drexel, Sardine
and Lajnoraaux, have already been busier than
beavera to reconcile themselves to a platform. They
took off their coal and went at tha taak as If It meant
Ufa or death. They didn't mlaa much In their platform

Quite a man'a-also Job, this. Nothing to ba eneesed
at They declare they will rout tha forces of evil aald
to dominate thia fair city. If any forcea of evil wait
around for Mlater Hilly Sunday to put on tha finish
ing touchea to this wicked old town.
The six antla are going to have a campaign com
mittee of flteea and an honeat-to;oodneaa manager
and will hold meetings and distribute pictorial recom
mendation of themselves. Th "square seven" say
the antla have nothing on them when It cornea to
putting out pictorial presentments. Thia carnival of
pulchritude promisee to enliven the attuatlon. The
"Ina" may aJao hav a general manager for their
campaign ahould It look aa if they need outside help.
Laat week the republican threw a little scare Into
th democratic camp when they announced a maaa
moetlng at Washington hall. "How dare you Inject
partisanship into local affairs T This la a nonpartisan
fight. J low flare you ba ao Impudent V naked the
democrats. But tha republlcana went tight ahead and
held an old-fashioned harmonloua confab Saturday
evening and declared that partisanship in all human
activities yields the beat results; that th pretended
nonpartisan la a sort of aptnaless, phlegmatic, milk-and-water,
opinion-bereft, lack-luater Individual whoa
Influence In a community may be expressed by the
mlnua algn; ergo, we will have partisanship, demo
crats to the contrary notwithstanding. "What are
you going to do about It," asked the republlcana. It
haa tha effect of Infusing fresh Ufa Into tha campaign,
even If It ahould atop right there, but tha republlcana
aver they are going through with It. They expect
to hold a few republican meetings and talk right out
without any excuae for upholding the grand old
party that gave ua all tha progreaa and prosperity
wa ever had. Cbaer up, ye faint-hearted; all Is not
lost!
Soma of tha nonpartisan democrats say they will
not play the gam of partisanship with tha repub
llcana They rise upon their hlghdudgoun and declare
they are actutated by loftier motivea; that they are
exemplara, aavlore of the people, heralds of tha com
mon man. It haa been said that the democratic party
la debating aoclety, but It seems that they have
been losing their debating procllvltle. Aside from
I. O. Dunn, all tha dabsters of th party her have
given up their platform frolic.
Hera la another querulous query frequently In
quired: Will the "square seven" stand together tor
the frayf Tha mayor saM a few days ago that no
action has been taken upon this matter. He hurtled
horn from his Missouri font, of youth to look after
his fences, lie was enjoying hlmaelf at th Elms hotel.
Excelsior Springs, when word waa aent him that the
republlcana were dulling their weapon aa token of
war. "I'll see about thia," aald the mayor, aa he bought
a ticket for Omaha.
"What wilt become of Edward Simon?" la another
question aaked. Mr. Simon himself aya be ta a
"wandering Jaw," politically Just now. II iu, hew

marked the Careful Observer to his pal, tha Oldaat In

"I auppoae you refer to th reduction of alaotrle

when It seems likely that the light company will grant
a reduction," observed tha venerable resident.
"You got me the first time, Algernon."

"I dunno."
Thea are th day of political pUU forms. A plat

TOPEKA. Kan., April 14.-T th Editor
of Tha Bee: it appear from a communi
cation In your paper of April . signed
hy A. L. Meyer, that th temperance ao
clety of th Methodist church I "the
Antl-Satoon league's fak factory, parad
ing under th nam of," etc.; that It
publicity matter contain "wilful mis
representations;" that It I "mendaclou
and unreliable," ate.
While the temperance aoclety la prob
ably much more friendly with the Anti
Saloon league than la Mr. Meyer, it rela
tion ar no mora intimate. Th aoclety
la one of the aeven general boards of th
Methodist church throughout th world,
maintained by apportionment and re
sponsible to th highest council of th
church the general conference.
It appear w are "mendaclou and
unreliable' because we say that Weat
Virginia haa th lowest tax rate In the
country- If ao, then the census bureau
ta also "mendacious and unreliable," -for
It aaya the tunc thing In It special bulle
tin on "Wealth, Debt and Taxation," re
cently Issued.
Mr. Meyer la very ready to accuse
other of misrepresentation. He la guilty
Of gross misrepresentation himself when
be aaya that Weat 'Virginia Is "broke"
becauao of 1U prohibition law. It la trui
that th deficit for th year 1918 (I am
quoting th Wheeling (W. Va.) Tele
graph), a year before prohibition, wa
greater than the year 1914, which em
braced six month of th prohibition
period.
If Mr. Meyer wanta to debate the ques
tion whether or not th temperance so
ciety is connected with th Anti-Saloon
league, or tha question whether or not
prohibition raises taxes, or the question
whether or not ' prohibition decrease
wealth, or tha question whether or not
prohibition haa proved beneficial and
pleasing to th peopl of K ansae or Weat
Virginia, and Th Bee 1 disposed to open
its column to auch a discussion, our

CHICAGO. April 17. To th Editor of
Th Bee: If ever there wa a time for
a "back to th land" movement it la
certainly now. But, unfortunately, after
ver a century of our publio land poli
cies, th United State census hows that
th majority of American families ar
not only financially unable to buy farms,
but they could not even carry themselves
through to the first harvest Something
must be done to bring th "land back to
th peopl."
Th national and atate governments
should put th million of acre of publie
land to profitable use, ao th peopl of
thia generation can get aora benefit out
of them. Until homestead ed, rented or
leased, they ahould be turned over to tho
national and state agricultural depart
ment to b farmed aa extensively aa
th supply of workers will permit. It
ahould be ao planned that a man could
begin as an employ and gradually work
up and into a farm business of hla own.
For example: A portion of tha publio
land ahould be divided into famlly-alsed
farms, th necessary building erected,
equipment Installed and a man of f un
til y hired to work each farm.
For th first year a small monthly
sa'ary ahould b advanced, and th gov
ernment ahould buy the crop at its har
vest tun value, mlnua the salary ad
vanced and th rent of th farm and
equipment
For th second year: Salary reduced
eoa-half, and tha government only take
enough of th crop to equal th salary,
rent of farm and equipment, and also th
valua of th equipment Th farmer
would now own th equipment
Third jrear: No salary at all. and th
government only take enough ef tho
crop t equal th rent of th farm.
Thereafter the farmer goes It alone,
the same aa any tenant or lessee, until
be homesteads.
The balance of th public land ahould
be, ao far as the supply of workera lasts,
worked by aa Industrial army, composed
ef all applicants, and they ahould receive
a military aa well aa aa agricultural ed
ucation. Th agricultural department ahould
have direct supervision of th publio
land farm wrk, aad th srops and stock
should be auch a could ba used In the
army and other puMI InaOtutioaa, tf
desired.
By some auch plan a th abeve, thou
aand of destitute famllie would have
a chanc to become Independent and
nioM of them would make good. The
Mar s
government would receive a larsa reve
nue fiom th public lands, the unem
ployed would have a chance to earn a
living and learn farm work, and the
peopl of thia generation would have
plenty to eat at reasonable prices.
