In blowing off the top of its state campaign, the World-Herald resorts to an expose of tax rates in Nebraska, and without explaining why, . sets out a comparison . between the days of John Henry Morehcad and the present admin istration. It adroitly conceals all the facts in the; case, save the one that more money is col " lected now than during the years of More t head or Neville. This purposely done to create the impression that the McKclvie administra tion has been extravagant. , f-cfu! take a peep under the surface. Ac- the World for the last cor4iiipr to he figures used by JJerald . taxes in Douglas county tiglft years totaled: v J91J Under Morehead. : ...... .$357.470,23 , 1914 Under Morehead. . . . 365.333.04 :-1915 Under Morehead 327,486.18 -1916 Under .

Taxes under Moachead were collecte entirety on a prewar basis, and for that reason no comparison can fairly be made 1tfi the Mc ' Kelvie totals. It will ,be, noted that the sum set, down for the second year of Neville's term is $296,699.04 less than that for McKelvie 's second year. Now, consider that for 1920 the increased levy in Douglas county for normal school pur- posts was $8,953 greater than in 1918; for road building, $140,289; and for new capitof, $89,547, a total of $238,789. This reduces the excess to ' $57,910.04, an increase of about 12J4 per, cent for 1920 over 1918. In the light of -everything else, is that excessive? What housewife but knows that the cost of living" has increased far above 124 per cent in 1920 over 1918? - ' J. What is true of Douglas county is doubtless true of the other counties selected by the World- .flfrafd to illustrate its- thesis, and so for the state. Taxes have increased in Nebraska, just because .special levies have been made for spe- ; cine purposes. The World-Herald has pleaded as persistently, and perhaps 'as effectively, as ' The Bee for good roads; it surely can not now complain that money is being raised to provide these good roads. As to the normal schools, the same is true. John Henry' Morehead was opposed to erecting a new state house when he was governor; he has not voiced his opposition since he retried from office, so it may be sur mised that now he really favors thelan. This accounts for another large item in the increase. Th rest is chargeable directly to the increased cost of doing business.- Not a state institution can be managed on as little money as when -Morehad was gov ernor; supplies of all kinds cost more;' it has been necessary to increase the pay of all em ployes of the state in order, that they might live. The World-Herald knows' this. It also knows that the salaries pf the elective state of ficers are the same now as in 1913, and there fore no charge can be laid against them of pilr ing up a big bill of expenses. Fewer names are on the pay roll than.were there when Morehead vvas running things another' point that should .not be overlooked. .' ''(', As to the great reducticni .in expenditures iriade during.thc second term , of Morehefd's ad ministration, it was on paper only. People yet recall with great disgust the quarrel between the:governoAnd State Treasurer Hall, because the latter would not Urfri over the fees collected . by that famous drug and food department, be v. cause the legislature had not appropriated the money and the constitution said it should go into the treasury. The item was left out of the appropriation bill that the . democrats- might make a pretense of economy; it required an or aer of the supreme court,-at the expense of the consthution to help MoreheaA Out of that Hote, He ought not to brag about such i"efonomyi. while the record stands as it does. ( -V iir finally, the acid proof of the wholproposi ' tlon is the tax levy. Here it "is for Douglas county for the last three years: '.Ti N v, ' 1918 . r - General lund'. . . 3.00 -.

' Admitting without argument the truth of the assertion made by the Department of Justice, -, that the announced eduction in prices indi cates the prevalence of profiteering, where, may wert.sk does that leave "Mitch" Palmer? For longer than two years, througRout the length .and breadth of the land, the doughty attorney jeneral and his corps of special assistants have .gone hunting with a brass band, looking for a profiteer, Thej simply knew that he was abroad -;.:.- v.. ' --i Why Some Papers Boost Cox. , Some folks have wondered why one of the On'alu newspapers that has always made such a pretense of its "independence" in politics finds itself committed irrevocably to the support of Cox as a candidate for president. This is par ticularly noticeable for the reason that that organ was always a rip-snorting advocate of prohibition, and Mr. Bryan has said the men who forced Cox onto the party would sell the nation for a glass of beer. The same paper was r'arin' t'arin' bull moose organ, and shouted loud and long for Hiram Johnson before the primary and up to the time 'the convention met at San Francisco. Now, it is doing its little bit for Cox just as if it -were always a democratic instrument, v ' , Some light was shed - on its attitude before the senate investigating committee' last week. It was then brought out that part of he files of the War departriient, consists of a letter written by James Middletpwn Cgx, governor of Ohio, which was effectively instrumental in se curing immunity for a couple, of young scions of the Scripps family during the war. So -now the Scripps newspapers and their allies, among which is included the "Clover Leaf" string rep resented in Omaha, find it convenient to sup port Governor Cox in his aspirations for the' presidency. It is merely reciprocity. How do the boys who answered the tall, who took a chance, and who would scorn to accept the protection o a politician, like this? Sons of a wealthy publishing , family, which owns and controls . quite a number of "uplift" newspapers throughout the country. especially in Ohio, find themselves thrust into bomb proof positions througft the kindly intervention on their behalf of the governor of Ohio. Why shouldn't he have the support of all that family and interlocking group of papers when tre runs for president? , ' . You lads, who wear me Victory medal, and the LegiOn button, how do you like it? Cox -andr the Air Craft Scandal. One of the evil smells that lingers from the lite war comes up from the air craft program Jhat failed so lamentably. Judge Hughes, you niay recall, made an inquiry and report to the attorney general, most of which was promptly suppressed. One recommendation was made .public, and that was . that Colonel Deeds, in t- i . j! : i cnarge or construction, dc uimihsscu nuni uic service, because of specific charges of miscon duct. The attorney general endorsed this rec ommendation, but the secretary of war did not carry it out; on the contrary, he made excuses for -Deeds, and let him down as easily as pos sthjcy , It wav known then that Deeds had a reaVpulLwith Ohio democrats. The investigat ing committee has just now brought out how potent it was. ( Among other itemi presented to it is one of $21,000, contributed Jjy the Day ton company pf which Deeds is a stockholder and director and for which he was' accused of securing contracts whil in the air service, to help elect "Jimmy"' Cox to the office of gov ernor in Ohio. ,As the lid is'liftedj the odor gets stronger. . s ' .

"Do you know of a sure way of Increasing one's lung capacity so as to insure swimming 200 feet under water?" In the first place, ability to-hold one's breath has nothing to flo with lung capacity. We breathe because the percentage of carbonic acid in the blood is high enough to stimu late the special center for breathing located in the lower part of the brain. When this center is irritated the lungs expel the air which is rich in this gas. If the proportion of carbonic dioxide in the blood falls below a certain point' breathing may stop. ' In fact. In simple experiments the impulse to Breathe "frequently has been suspended for 100 to 150 sec ends. By having subjects breathe pure oxygen one experimenter sus pended the impulse to breathe for 160 seconds. Vernon had a man breathe deDly and forcibly for several minutes and ended by Klvinsr him a few breaths of oxygen, whereupon the man went t'lght minutes without drawlncr a breath. Ability to hold the bfeath tor, a considerable time is said to OX Bryan's Estimate of Cox. Omaha, Sept. 24. To the Editor cf The Bee: In a certain foreign language paper that usually brings very reliable news I read a state ment by which Villiam Jennings Bryan recently has said that Gov crnor Cox has brought i disgrace upon his state, and that he now is reaching out for a job by which he wHl bring disgrace to the nation. nave you knowledge --of such a statement that Bryan has. made re cently, and when and where it was made, and In which connection? , If feryan has doner so on the eve of the presidential election, I find this 8tatemenW..very significant, as far ar it comes from a democratio poli tician or reputation, character and principle, which virtues I always ad mired in Mr. Bryan, and I would which implied that Burbank, Ed ahHPtti,he "heir respective imes of work and of the kidneys and heart Men who have heart disease with broken com pensation, Bright's disease with asthma, diabetes with acidosis and bronchial asthma have trouble get ting breath enough. Obviously, they cannot hold the breath long. The suggestion was that a man who. upon stesting himself, found that ho could hohi his breath an average length of time did not have any of these diseases. The will has a certain amount of control over the impulse te breathe. For instance, experimenters have found that the impulse to breathe becomes too strong for (the will to control .23 6 27 seconds after the proportion of carbonic dioxldetin the blood has reached 6.2 aYid the pro portion of oxygen has fallen 9 per cent. - , Having laid this foundation, let us answer your question. What can a boy do to increase the length of time he can stay under water? Above all, let him train himself in holding his breath. The ability of the will to control the respiratory conter is capable of training. It will help to refrain from eating for at least six hours before making the attempt. If his large intestine has been well emptied that will prove Helpful. A dozen .or mare deep breaths taken just before he makes the attempt will prove helpful. The warmer he water and the slower and easier he swims the longer he can stay under. If it is worth the trouble a . few whiffs' of undiluted oxygen will help. ' Thin boys who aVe small eaters should be able to stay under longer than fat ones who are heavy eaters. Too Much Candy. iJafl. M. E. and L. J. write: ''We are two girls, working as stenographers in downtown offices. Every day, after we have had lunch, we buy 10 or 15 cents' worth of candy.
