) NEBRASKA'S SCHOOL LANDS.
We trust that Land Commissioner Swansoh's
. commendatran that the school lands of the
Kate be sold is rejected by the legislature. When
the constitutional convention was in session, The
Bee challenged one of the proposed amendments
as leading up to the alienation of the school
lands; this Was indignantly denied by the pro
ponent of the measure, which was adopted by
the convention and endorsed by the voters. Now,
at the earliest possible moment, the legislature
is to be approached to pass the needed law tjiat
the lands held by the state in irust . for the
' schools of the state be transferred to private
ownership, " '
A wonderful heritage for the public schools
should be preserved. It is true that the remain
ing area comprises a very large proportidn of
land that produces so little revenue that it fairly
deserves to be called "slacker" land. The state
owns almost 700.000 acres of this sort, but it
also owns a large amount of really good land,
producing considerable Tevenue. This land is
continually increasing in value, and it would
for the state to hold it and
l - - ,
receive directly the benefit of the unearned in
crement, the usufruct arising from the growth
of thestate, as to permit it to pass to private
ownership and allow the advantage to go with it.
The public schools, must have support. If
the" 1 land were sold, we may well doubt if it
would return as much in 'taxes as it does in
rents. Were the. $26,000,000 Commissioner
Swanson sets as his estimate on the value of
the school lands turned over to the treasu-er.
he would have to invest it Vnd it Is uncertain
whether he could secure income equal to that
now recevied In rents.
Unless Nebraska's experience is to be differ
'ent in the future, the matter will be perpetually
before the1 legislature in one from or another.
The endowment of the .common schools of the
state should be sacred, but it has been laid open
to attack, and only cealeless vigilance wilj pre
vent the remaining desirable acres riowowne,d
by the public schools Yrom passing to private
owners, While the remnint of the sand hills will
eventually be the only reminder of a once prince
ly possession. , ' '
Coolidge in the Cabinet.
A new use for the vice president has been
suggested by Calvin Coolidge, who is to assume
that office in March. He does not wish to go
down through the Harding administration as
"Silent Cal," but would like to have a rear share
in the work, and so tentatively puts forth the
proposal that he be made anjionorary' member
oijhe cabinet. Good reason supports this idea.
Wisdom provided long ago that the president
and vice president be of the same political party,
in order that harmony might subsist between
the two, and that the succession, temporary, or
permanent, of the one to the office of the other
would be accompanied by no disruption of pub
lic business incident to violent change in office.
Mr. Wilson had as little use for a vice presi
dent as for a secretary of state, preferring to do
all things himself, but Mr. Harding wired
' Governor -Coolidge on election night that a" big
job awaited them, and "we will tackle it to
'gcther.' If the vice president is given a (seat at
the cabinet table, it will iring him into real inti
macy with, the administration of which he is
part; he will have a first hand share in the busi
ness, and, should another such emergency arise,
would possibly be charged with the duty of as
sembling the cabinet for consideration of public
business at a time when the president could not
do so. v
The country paid fairly high for the suspen
sion of the administrative functions during the
early weeks of Mr. Wilson's illness, and still
gasps when it thinks of the fate of Robert Lans
ing, whose offense was that he tried to keep
things moving until his chief was able to return.
He wsa kicked out of office f or so doing, and
even a cabinet officer does not relish that. Mr.
Harding could scarcely start better oh the big
job than by asking Mr. Coolidge to sit with the
' cabinet. This would not only add. dignity to
1 the office of vice president, but would equally
ensure a needed continuity in the government.
Omaha, is quoted as saying that in America too
much land is held by men who live in the cities
and do not cultivate it. There undoubtedly has
been a great deal vof speculation in farm lands,
but instances are few where it has been withi
held from 'use as has been the case in European
countries. The prbblem of tenantry is, quite
apart from that facing the people of Spain, but
only so long as it remains financially possible
for tenants to keep the land in. use instead of
allowing it to lie idle. s
Reduction in Taxation Possible.
A hopeful note Is sounded by Representative
Mondell in his discussion of the federal financial
program. His expression that taxation may be
reduced is given after careful consideration of
all the elementslnvolved. As floor leader of the
republican majority in the house, Mr. Mondell
is required to study the problem of ways and
means at carefully, perhaps, as the chairman of
that committee, and therefore his word is en
titled to (.some weight,
Mr. Mondell gives as a, prime reason for ex
pecting lower taxes that a huge floating debt
may be wiped out' This now amounts to more
than $2,300,000,000. A portion of it is a heritage
froth those good old pre-war days, when the
democratic administration was piling up a deficit
of more ttfan a million dollars . a day in the,
ordinary operations of the gvocrnment Whether
Mr. Mondell is correct in his conclusion that
.this floating debt should have been cared for in
the Victory note issue is not immediately vital.
That course would have saved a considerable
sum of money-in the form of reduced interest
charges just now, but this might have been off
set by the future charges certainvto follow the
contemplated extension of the debt by refunding.
Conditions have been such thathe Treasury has
been compelled to resort to continuous borrow
ing, a pyramiding of short time certificates, which
now have become a real burden, Happily, some
relief is in sight Vv
Payment into the Treasury of suspended
taxes amounting to fully a billion dollars will
extinguish t considerable portion of the floating
debt; the rest is to be cared for by savings to ,
be accomplished through reduced appropriations !
and better management of government business.
Estimates sent in by the departments of the
government will te closely examined, and cer
tainly will be prunedto theafety, liner Cheese
paring is neither desirable nor expected, but pru
dence demands that extravaganoe be checked.
One part of Mr. Mondell's program isopen
to question. His suggestion that after July 1 no
further attempt be 'mad'e to reduce the floating
debt ' by other than sinking fund or salvage
operations may not prove advantageous. A re
duction in taxa'tion secured at the expense of
an enormous increase in the funded debt, for
that is what this will amount to, enhances the
interest charge to such an extent that it becomes
unduly burdensome. We are inclined to Hhink.
that sound finance will determine' that the float
ing indebtedness bt cleared away as speedily as
possible, that the future may hold a clearer out
look. Reduction in the tax rate is eagerly

HOW TO CURE THE ITCH.
"Will you kindly outline the best
and most positive cure," Itch writes,
"for 'seven-year itch'? Is it the same
as the so-called 'French itch' so
many of us suffered from in France?
Is it contagious in ordinary every
day contact?"
"We had a youns Birl visitor from
tho south." Mrs. T. writes, "this last
summer, who brought with her what
they called down there tho 'war
itch.'. She became ono mass of
scratches beine; in misery all the time.
Now our whole family has taken it,
ono after another, despite- all pre
cautions. We have tried all sorts of
remedies, using mostly sulphur so
strong it shrivels up our skin. What
do you think best to do to get rid
of it?"
It is probable that the young lady
who visited Mrs. T. nd the members

It is contagions. A parasite which
burrows in the skiri is the cause.
Tho name "seven-year itch." was
given it beoauso along about civil
war time not much was known
about getting r!3 of it and a seven
years' siege was not unheard of.
, Sulphur was then-and still is the
staple remedy. Failure to cure when
it is employed is failure to get the
bug killing remedy into the holes
bored in the ekin by the parasites
and failure to reckon with the cloth
ing as means of harboring and
spreading the disease.

Spain's New Homesteaders.
News that King Alfonso of Spain has decided
to parcel out one of the royal estates of 2,500
acres into small farms which will be offered to
(farm laborers on easy terms follows a period
of agitation in which the right of the nobility
to withhold land from use or even to exact rent
" on it has been boldly questioned. A few months
ago a delegation of peasants notified the pro
vincial authorities that they intended to seize
lands held by the duke of Luna, contending that
he was in wrongful possession of them. They
argued that the duke's ancestors stole the lands
he now is refusing tf allow them to cultivate.
Several thousand persons who could extract a
livelihood from the 25.000 aces of fertile soil in

A renreentarive of the Chamber of Com
merce, speaking before the Farmers' Congress in
Troussrs and Democracy.
President Wilson saw fit in'his recent mes
sage to congress to recommend the award of
independence of the people of the Philippines,
but it would seem from the remarks of Senator
Santos in the island legislature that somewhat
yet must be done before recognition of the
right of self-government can be expected. He
introduces a bill providing that all males in the
Philippines shall wear trousers or suffer im
prisonment for five years. The severity of his
measure is mitigated by the provision that the
g6vernment buy 500,000 trousers and thus en
able the people of the hills to dress themselves.
y "The appearance of half-naked pagans is
a most shameful exhibition, and is capitalized
by the opponents of Philippine independence
as demonstrating the incapacity of the "Fili
pinos for self-government," the senator explains.
But with our wiser experience m styles, not
ably in women's dreis, Americans probably have
not felt that the presence of a small minority of
gentlemen clad in g-strings reflected at all on
the more conventionalized sections of the pop
ulation. . x ' .
Yet this is not the first time that Jtrousers
have been intimately connected with democracy.
Back iri the days of the French revolution, the
nobles in their knee breeches scorned the trou
sers which Were worn by the radicals and re
ferred to the-movement as that of sansculottes,
which is to""say, men witHout breeches. Trousers
i h. vision then, and trousers eventually
will no doubt win, over the heat and custom
that his induced the Filipinos of the more prim? i
itivi communities to cling to their own particular
style. ' j , . - (, .
Note That Pass Between Governors.
Something of a mystery surrounds a missive
received by the governor of Kansas, said to have
come from the governor of North Dakota. One
jays he receievd it, the other that he did nt send
it That provides a scenario that is intriguing
to say the least It might be, you know, that
someone not inspired with a spirit of brotherly
love that leads to harmony, but rather actuated
by a mischievous desire Jo see what wouia
happen, is making of the two executives sou
thing of a dual butt for his conception of fun. As
yet the affair has taken on no serious aspect, and
we trust it will not do so. ine comuy mat as

historic communication of the governor of North
Carolina to the governor of South Carolina.
With that eminent precedent, and nothing in the
annals of chivalry surpasses it as an expression
of courtesy and kindliness, we trust , that our
neighbors to the north and to the south will be
able to maintain the delightful intercourse that
heretofore has marked their respective dealings
one with the other. Nebraska is concerned, but
not apprehensive, being in the line of fire should
hostilities open. Probably before the cannonad
