There is only one great three ring circus touring America today, and that show, the con&olidated Barnum & Bailey and Ringling Brothers organizations is liable to sidetrack Omaha this season because of a new ordinance which imposes a tax said to be excessive on circuse's of this class. , ' S. V. Beckett, advance man of the circus, was in the city Saturday, -o arrange 'for the appearance of the rig aggregation here sometime n the "future. ; f Tax Now $500. ; He was under the impression that old occupation license of $300 per year was still in effect J but he learned that a new ordinance, oper ative June ,20, has been passed -ly the city commission and the license for first class shows will then !;e $500. "This," said he, "is prohibitive and may render it impossible for our circus, the only large one now FRANKLIN CAR BEE i JUNE ' 8, 1919. touring America, ' to appear in Omaha this season. We are only showing in the largest cities of the country and I find that Omaha now has the largest license tax for b'g circuses in America. New York city only charges $150 a day, while Omaha has puj the tax up to $500. - "Theatres are only taxed by city ordinance $100 per year, and the new rate fixed by the city commis sion would appear to be rank dis crimination and passed for the pur pose of excluding first-class shows. Favors Small Shows. "Smaller circuses, with ' many objectionable gairbling and ' graft features, and with their crimint! hangers on, are permitted to show at the old license and they charge the same prices for inferior per formances and attractions as the only big curcus in America." Mr. Beckett said Omaha would not be 'included in the itinerary of the circus as lor.g as the present icense fee operates and this will bring grief to circus loving person", young or old. The circus had ex pected to come here in August Two Boiler Companies on. Labor ''Unfair List" At a meeting of the Central Labor union the C. G. Johnson Boiler com pany and .the Drake-Mount-Williams company were placed on the unfair list. W. V. Angell, international or ganizer for the boilermakers, as serted that both companies had at tempted to befog the issue. While professing a willingness to meet their men, they have never done so, he said. ' Franklin Performance Newly Defines Motoring Comfort There are few motoring novices today and. most people know what comfort the average car gives. Now they are fast learning how much more they have long been entitled to. Growing familiarity with Franklin per formance is giving a new standard to many. Comfort as defined by the Franklin Car consists : In being able to ride relaxed, mile after mile, day after day, over rough roads or smooth; in being able to drive without conscious effort for hours on end; in feeling confident that no inherent fault of principle can be a cause of trouble. Scientific, well-balanced, light weight smothers road shock and ends tense riding. It also gives sure, safe, effortless control. Direct air-cooling no water to freeze or boil gives confidence in the Franklin Car's ability to start any time and go anywhere despite heat, cold, hills or heavy going. Day by day and year by year, the Franklin Car proves its ability to serve every motoring purpose, finely, comfortably and economically, by steadily delivering: 20 miles to the gallon of gasolint 10,000 miles to the set of tires 50$ slower yearly depreciation A demonstration over roads of your selection will fully convince you of the unlimited motoring possibilities of the Franklin Car. We will be glad to place a car at your service at such a time as you suggest. M II if 1019 Farnam St 2025 Ss l Brief City News Have Root Print It Beacon Press. Elec.
