FULL STEAM AHEAD FOR OMAHA.
If Omaha is to put on full steam ahead, it
must travel over the smooth and. solid roadbed
, that has taken other great and prosperous
cities to the city manager form .of government.
There is need for a co-ordination of-putyic af
fairs, a more business-like administration, suc,h
as experience elsewhere Jias proved can best he
obtained by the system which elects commis
sioners to outline the municipal policy and lets
them appoint an expert manager to deal with the
executive problems . connected with public
service. '-.i.
The 'series of articles written for The Sunday
Bee by various city managers unfolds a re
markable story of how the same efficiency that
characterizes private business has been instilled
- into' municipal government. There is also a
growing list of bopks dealing more at length
with the system as carried out In particular
s cities. One of these volumes, now in the Omaha
Vubiic library, is Chester E. Richtor's "City
. Manager in Dajton." In addition to examining
the specific accomplishments of Dayton since
going under the new .rule six years ago, the
author draws several general conclusions, such
,as are to be found in the following excerpt:
"The successful operation of a business
" depends upon at least three things organi
zation, method and men. That holds true
of a city government and no form of gov
ernment alone can insure that capable men
will always be in' charge of its activities, and
that adequate methods will invariably be
followed. The city manager plan makes it
, more easily possible to secure qualified
" officials for administrative positions than
does any other plan yet "devised, and it pro
vides a ready method for getting rid of in
competents. Furthermore, it provides a plan
of organization for getting results when the
proper class of ;public officials is secured;
and the proper method of procedure is in
herent to such organization.
, It might be assertedjhat the services per-'"
'., formed in Dayton under the city manager
plan Could be performed under any other '
; form. - It will be evident from the pges
that follow that they were not performed
under the mayor-cquncil plan. The city
manager plan actually did accomplish re
sults. There it is in a nutshell. Although theo
retically other forms of municipal rule permit a
wide scope foT improvement and efficiency, at
the same time they have not . been successful
to the degree' that the newer method has been.
The continuity of civic effort is not endangered
at every election under the city manager plan,
and public interest in government is stimulated
by the conviction that the city is being run
toward certain desirable aims instead of blun
dering along under divided counsels. To a large
degree city government in Dayton has Been
humanized until it is more of a living organism1
""t,han a mere machine. Nor can it be main
tained that democracy is flouted under the plan,
for the effective control of the government still
resides in the people.
'In Dayton the city manager is subject to dis
missal by a vote of the commission or by recall
by .the citizens themselves. This power, has
licver been used, and the advisability of the
direct recall is sometimes questioned. There is
no tendency away from democracy, but in fact,
many city manager cities are now considering an
increase in popular representation over that in
vogue, under other forms of g6vernment, by
proving, as have . Kalamazoo, Mich., and
Ashtabula, O., 'for, proportional representation.
' Jumping Off Place for Politics.
Eight years sago President Taft, upon giving
up office, left his successor, Woodrow yilson,
a'frce hand in the Mexican situation. Although
the affairs of our southern neighbor are now
fairly stabilized, it' is possible that the ultimate"
question of resuming full and friendly relations
will he left to the decision of President-elect
Harding. This is one of many important inter
national matters that will face the administra
tion that assumes office March 4.
There was a day -when it could truly be as
serted that 'American politics ceased at the
waters' edge, when our thoughts scarcely needed
- to stray far from purely domestic matters. But
America has taken a new place in the world,
and one which makes everf' subjects dealing pri
marily with domestic affairs assume an interna
tional importance.
For . instance, the issue over the rights of
Japanese to entrance and settlement in the
" United States cannot be settled without agree
. . ment between the two nations concerned. The
"""recent speech of Representative, Kahn, for all
its professions of friendliness to the island king
dom, contained a bellicose note that may or may
not fall effectively on Oriental ears. If among
the California spokesmen there is any disposi
tion to play politics with this dispute, it is time
for the country to insist on a return to the old
policy of dropping political or sectional differ
ences at the three-mile limit, quietly settle on a
united position and abide by it.
There are other points of international friction
that call for the abandonment of internal
struggles for political, class and race advantage.
Enmity toward Great Britain is being stirred up
by partisans of one sort, over oil rights' in
Mexico, Mesopotamia and elsewhere. English
failure to adjust affairs in Ireland also is a po
sent source of dissatisfaction and criticism
among some very excellent people. America's
handling of the immigration from Europe, in
whatever way it is finally adjusted, will have
far-reaching effect in foreign lands, as will also
alterations in the tariff and exemption of Amer
ican shipping from Panama Canal tolls.
Any one of the momentous problems would
afford opportunity for demagogues and jingoes
to muddy the waters of .discussion and prevent
things being dealt with in their true light. Clear
heads, not only among the statesmen, but also
among the people, become imperatively impor
tant. These are indeed days when democracy is
put to the test, and if politics can be eliminated
from international considerations, no misgivings
need be felt.
Novel View of Taxation.
The bill offered by a New York congress
man to exempt from income taxation the money
paid from this year's taxable income on account
of taxes on 1919 income indicates a remarkable
concept of the principles that underlie taxation.
Stated in a simple form, a tax is a certain por
tion of private wealth seized by the government
fpr public purposes. In one of his discussions
of the present revenue law, William Gibbs
McAdoo, who at least comprehends the funda
mentals of revenue raising, "declared that a dif
ficulty presented by the law in its existing form
is that it encouraged profiteering, because the
taxpayer undertakes to earn a prpfit even on
that portion of his revenue which he knows
must be turned over to the government. This
sounds somewhat anomalous, but reason exists
to think that Mr. McAdoo is right in his con
clusions. The tax collected on 1919 income is
properly chargeable to that year's earnings, and
not to those of 1920; if it was not paid out of
the income of the year for which it ws laid,
then the taxpayer is to blame for mismanage
ment, and not the government. Consequently, if
the amount of 1919 taxes is to be deducted from
the net income of 1920, the treasury will lose
the tax on fully $2,500,000,000, because every tax
payer will insist on being permitted to hold out
that portion of his otherwise taxable income for
the present year. This will amount to $100,000,
000, not a large sum in the way we have been
dealing with governmental cash items of late
years, yet one that would show Aip on the bal
ance sheet of the treasury. Closer study of
what is actually involved in taxation will bring
a clearer understanding of the government's
problem.
A Line 0' Type or Two
Hew to the Line, Ut tba quip fall where they may.
Bureaus That Are Misplaced. ;
Secretary Houston Is going to leave behind
him orie recommendation of real merit Not
that the matter hasn't been thought' of before,
but the secretary in his report calls attention to
the fact that the Treasury is saddled with respon
sibility for a dozen or s,o misplaced bureaus,
whose activities have nothing whatever to uo
with the fiscal operations of the government,
beyond spending money, and which may be far
letter directed from some other portfolio. He
enumerates some of these, and asks that his
l uccessor be relieved of the care of them.
The situation is one of the resultants to be
expected from the happy-go-lucky way in which
i nr government has been built up. The White
House and the Capitol show the same sort of
fiatchwork. A structure capable of expansion
ivas first devised," and to it has been attached
additions, superstores, sub-basements, leantos,
wickiups, and all sort of fanciful designs. When
ever congress in its wisdom found some new
function of government required a little more
attention than it was receiving, it created a new
bureau and more often than not put it under
the control of the Treasury, until finally that de
parment is spread all over the chart, with a lot
of responsibilities that are in no sense related
to the real work that should be carried on
under it.
- The situation emphasizes the need of reor
ganization, brought forward long ago, especially
emphasized by President Taft, and promised to
be achieved under Mr. Harding. A new and
better arrangement of the bureaus, consolidation
of some, abolition of others, and the adoption
of business system in the departments will make
Washington seem more like the center of a real
ly progressive nation.
A Prophecy on Wheels.
A great many Omaha people .took time last
week to inspect the, mammoth electric loco
motive exhibited here hy the Milwaukee rail
road. Some were engineers, some motormen,
some electrical experts, but the majority of
them just plain citizens, knowing little of the
technical principles involved, but interested in
what looks like the harbinge- of a new day in
transportation. The electrical locomotive is not
a novelty, and is fast coming into the realm of
established things. The one on exhibition here
is two years old, and has been employed almost
coni.nuously since it was constructed in a series
'of elaborate experiments to develop any weak
ness in design or structure, to bring out any
suggestion for improvement, or to show how
greater efficiency can be secured from the same
design. ' It has been so successful that nine
others like it have been built and sent into serv
ice, to which it is now on its way. The macWme
is in truth a prophecy "on wheels, for in it tnajr
be described the time when no longer the huge
puffing locomotive will drag the long and heavW
trains across the Nebraska prairies. Great
electric motors will take the place of the steam
engine, and applying energy generated from fuel
at ratio of economy the steam locomotive may
never hope to attain, they will do the work of
the world. Wherever power is applied electric
ity 'is coming into use, and this big machine is
just the forerunner of what we will soon be
familiar with. Proprress demands it, and the
response will be certain.

Government by Amendment.
Sir: Although the eighteenth amendment was
a step in the right direction, the average citizen
is still allowed altogether too much liberty in
the gratification of his appetites. Many a man
whose years are being shortened by improper
habits might attain a great age If compelled to
adhere to strictly scientific rules of living. It
has occurred to me that the public might be
greatly benefited by the installation of machines,
for recording blood pressure, etc., in all restau
rants, and that each patron's 4lt should be
regulated according to his physical condition.
Under this method, many,a person who is court
ing an early death bya slavish indulgence in
mince pie and coffee, would be spared for years
of happiness and useful effort if his daily intake
were restricted to a couple of graham crackers
and a prune. E. C. W.

Sir: Why not work in a quote from Prof. Ray
Moodie's article In the Litry Digest,' on the
"most romantic moment of evolution" when ver
tebrates first developed legs and began to crawl
out of the water and to walk on land?" Bear
down on the fact that this transition took place
on Mazon Creek, Illinois, and scheme some kind
of a connection to make It explain why H
linoisans of the present age show such a roman
tic interest in legs and so frequently get run over
while watching 'em cross the bouleyards. Put
in the exact date J can't give It myself of that
most exciting moment In evolution when the
females of the species began to roll their own.

In the chart room some days ago I learned
we had 3000 fathom under us. Well; these

deeps, look much the same as the waves off
Land's End. I began to see what I had done.
I had changed the murk of winter in London
for the discomforts of the dog days. I had
come thousands of miles to see thethermometer
rise. Where are the Spanish Main, the Guianas,
and the Brazils? At last I had discovered them.
I found their true bearings. They are in
Raleigh's "Golden City of Manoa," in Burney's
"Buccaneers of America," with Drake, Hum

all at home. We borrow the light of an observ

Ono of the worst mental habits, one
which leads to much mental ill
health, is thafof running away from
fiituations, and we of this country
are far from being free from this
fault. Called upon to meet some
situation tbat is painful, or do a
job that is difficult, we put it off
until tomorrow.
We may even go farther than that
and' attempt to dodge, duck, pussy
foot, alibi, or in some other way
escape the task. Of course, there is
no virtue in tilting against windmills.
That, too. is a bad mental habit,
leading to mental ill health. But,
assuming that judgment has been
shown and the question is one which
should be met squarely and with
out delay, to dodge it means trouble.
The appetite to dodge leads to fears
and worry.
Much of mental ill health and
some physical ill health result from
fears. Worrly engenders more fati
gue than hard mental labor of the
kind for which men are paid fancy
salaries. Yet nobody draws a salary
for worrying.
Out of the habit of or even the
strong desire to run away from un
pleasant experiences is born much of
the addition to alcohol, opium and

lated because he developed himself
from a day dreaming lad into a man
of instant decision, retaining just
enough of his day dreaming
qualities to furr.ish. visions and
ideals. People day dream because
in that way they escape the drab
and unpleasant things of their or

Sutton. Dec. 10. To the Editor
of The Bee: Oh, you consistency!
In your editorial of December 10,
you suy: "Other big manufacturers

been pursued by the 1 government
with profiteering Inquiries." I pre
sume you have not advocated 'pro

in your paper. A FARMER.
As a rule The Bee pays no at'
tentlon to anonymous communka
tkms. In this case we will take the
trouble to reply: First, The Bee did
favor and urge profiteering inquiries;
it denounced the administration on
many occasions for permitting ex
tortionate practices, and will so
twain. Second, there is nothing of
inconsistency in The Bee calling at
tcntion to the fact referred to by
this correspondent. We know of no
instance where the Department 'of
Justice jiressed a profiteering charge
against a farmer, save as tne local
councils of defense at times acted
in cases where deliberate efforts
were made to' interfere with public

' About Law For Women.
Omaha. Dec. 9. To the Editor
of The J3ee: During the last few
months several uncalled for cold-
bloodfd murders have been com
mitted again by women and it seems
as so these murders are premeditated
without good cause or reason. My
belief Is, that -if a fairmlnded un
sympathic Jury would set an ex
ample and convict some of these
female criminals there would be less
killing done on their side. If a
woman's honir is at stake, or she
kills in self-defense, she may under
