Death and taxation have long been quoted as the two thins of which civilized man might fee! certain. While each is a finality, methods vary, and to some extent are controllable. That is why the people arc now concerning themselves regarding taxation. We are emerging from a period of depression, which followed a brief spell of undue exaltation, the combined results ot which have produced an unpleasant reaction. We spent too liberally in the one, and therefore feel more keenly the restrictions of the other, and now, as we are beginning a new era that is prom ising to lead to sane expansion, we are taking stock of conditions. None of the discoveries made by Mr. Greer' in his investigations in Nebraska is more inter esting than what Is going on in Thurston county. There the citizens are seriously studying the tax question in a most practical way. Instead of blindly essaying to correct a wrong, they are setting about carefully to discover what is wrong. Studying not so closely the collection, they are giving analytic attention to the expenditure in other words, they are finding out where, how, by whom and for what purpose the tax dollar is spent A distribution sheet shows this appor tionment of taxes collected at the rate of $27.70 per thousand of valuation at Winnebago: For State purposes $ 3.30 For County purposes 4.90 For Local School purposes 12.00 For Village purposes 7.50 Total for all purposes $27.70 Thus the taxpayers learn that of the total amount they pay in tax only 11.9 per cent is laid by the state, while 88.1 per cent is local and within their own direct control. Partisan critics have purposely sought to deceive the public into a belief that the great burden of taxation in NtM braska is due to the conduct of the business affairs of the state under the republican admin istration. . Thurston county farmers have pro vided a definite answer to this falsehood. When all the taxpayers of Nebraska will analyze their budgets as closely as has been done tt Winnebago, and understand clearly not only that the money is being collected, but is also being spent, and learn its destination as well as its source, the approach to tax reform will be cleared of much misinformation that now only confuses the lay mind. The problem is a big one, and will not be settled by partisan pleas that conceal or misrepresent the truth. old ii humanity, if tint wherever luftkicnt amount sf InfUmnublt material is accumulated, and fire gets a good Hart, th problem for the firemen ii to itvt adjoining property. AbsGiutt safety ii probably out of reach, for no building can fct mad either 100 per cnt fireproof, or 100 per cent foolproof; the hop ii to reduce the htiard to a minimum, and out of racb great fir, somt knowledge comet that aida In that direction. The mechanical as well a the human factor iu the equation niut get full tame in working out the solution, and Omaha is vitally concerned in tht matter, Pershing's Pica for the Army. John J. Pershing- it a professional soldier, an a mighty good one. His opinion on a military matter Is about at weighty and valuable as any the United States could hope to get. Above all this, though, General Perilling ft a patriotic American citizen. Hit devotion to the country and bit loyalty to itt inititutiont can not be doubted. Therefore he should bo listened to by congrest when discussing the question of na tional defense. He gives it at hit opinion that the stashes made by the committees of the house in the budget and the proposed reduction ot the army in strength will imperil the entire system worked out under the national defense act of 1920. If it St the purpose of congrest to abandon entirely plans then i.iade, all well and good, but if the arrangement is to be carried out, then some attention must be paid to the men who are charged with the duty of executing the law. In 1915 the president made inquiry and received a definite antwer at to what it was then deemed necessary to a proper military defense ot the United States. Eased on the information re ceived, he proposed making recommendations to congress, but was met with such obstruction from Representative Hay of Virginia and Sena tor Hitchcock of Nebraska that he abandoned the job, and allowed Secretary Garrison to resign rather than offend congress. As a result, two years later, the United States of America paid several billions of dollars for not having made preparation. Pershing is not looking ahead to another war; he merely asks that the United States keep a small regular army for emergency. He is not an alarmist, nor a militarist, but a patriotic citi zen, sincerely advising his country what, in his judgment, ought to be done. What congress may do is quite another proposition, but congress has not always been right. "Jimmy" Larkin and Ireland. Now they are going to celebrate St. Patrick's Day by liberating "Jimmy" Larkin, serving a long term in a New York penitentiary, convicted of criminal anarchy. Save the mark! Most en ticing is the plea set up by Larkin's attorney. When set free,' he 'is going home to tranquilize Ireland! According to Mr. Healy, who pleads for Mr. Larkin, the latter has more influence in Ireland than either Griffith or de Valera. If. this be true, Ireland is in a pitiful plight. Larkin first came to light as a leader of strik ing dock workers at Dublin, His extreme social istic views recommended him to the reds, and he attained international celebrity as an extremist. His first visit to. America was marked by his en thusiasm for international socialism. .Returning to Ireland, he continued his career, and shortly after the breaking out of the war in 1914 he sought the hospitable shores of America, for the purpose of enlisting an Irish army to battle for Irish freedom. Not prospering in this under ' taking, he took up the red propaganda again, and soon elevated himself to a front position among the most advanced of the reds. When the United States went into the war "Jimmy" LarTvin had developed into an anarchist of the most dangerous type. He denounced all government wherever and however constituted, and for this and because he was a public menace he was sent to prison. If he is now to be par doned, and perhaps he may be, it should not be on the pretext that he may serve Ireland, for men of his sort are incapable of aiding the Irish at this or any other time. Neither of the men holding responsible positions in Ireland at this time will thank the United States for loosing Larkin on him, nor would it become the sense of dignity that should mark our relations with the new government to send to it with our compli ments a man we have convicted of being the im placable foe of all governments. Fire and the New Building Code. It might not be out of place for the framers of the new city building code to study' the great fire at Chicago, as a possible source of useful information. One or two features stand out plain enough to challenge attention. The progress of flames was checked by the great wall of the Burlington building, said to be fireproof. It was sufficiently so to hold l?ack the fire, but the in tense heat had the effect of warping the resisting walls until they fell, and exposed the interior of the great building on one side, while everything made of wood was consumed. This is a repeti tion of experience at San Francisco, where it was found that steel supports and girders, en cased in supposedly fireproof and heat-resisting materials, buckled and gave way under trie .pres sure and because of the heat. Another, fac as Cox and His Methods. Government inspectors and prosecutors pic ture S. E, J. Cox, Texas promoter and airplane "fan," as a heartless deceiver of hundreds of in vestors whom, they claim, he has defrauded out of $1,000,000 through the sale of worthless stocks. For this they propose to put him on trial in the federal court. But whatever the Investors may say of him and whatever the jury may do to him, it is safe to assume that a score perhaps many more youths in an eastern boys' school will call Cox blessed. Cox made a meteoric rise in the Okla homa and Texas oil fields, like many others. Un like some others, he remembered the plight of those not so fortunate. A few years ago Cox arranged to send a score of boys to an eastern military school, one of the best in the land. He sent word to several friends that he wanted them to pick for him the most friendless "toughest lit tle scamps" they knew. He wanted, he said, to give a chance to boys who otherwise were headed straight for the reform school or to ruination. There is a man now living in Omaha who picked two such boys for Cox. They met the unusual test, - Cox outfitted them with clothes r.nd gave them a reasonable amount of spending money. He sent them east to school. He did the same with many others. It may be that the government will prove he made the money by illegal and dishonest methods, but at any rate he spent some of it in a good cause. Beware of the Itinerant Merchant. Omaha merchants call attention to a recur rence of the periodic epidemic of house-to-house canvassers, agents who show attractive samples and take orders for future delivery from out-Of-town stocks. In particular cases, the purchaser is made to believe that the goods are of high quality and the price relatively cheap. In in stances where either of these representations are false, which happens not infrequently, the lesson is plain. But even where there is no false repre sentation, there is reason for a second thought on the part of the prospective buyer. Sales of this kind bring no business to Omaha, increase not one whit the value of Omaha property or the size of Omaha's pay checks, nor do the sellers of the goods contribute to the taxes which sup port the city government, nor to the various civic enterprises which serve its people. Consolidation of the railways into nineteen major systems has commenced, and the last stage of testing the transportation act is now ap proaching. It may yet confound its critics. Light, Phone and Motor Homes of United Sutct Served Through Mtgic of Electric Tower. Europe seems . disappointed because Uncle Sam is not going to take his bank roll to Genoa. This means somebody will have to go to work over there. The democrats are greatly worried for fear Mr. Harding will not be consistent. They may at least depend on his not taking updemocratic dogma. . Trotzky says the Genoa conference without the United States will be a mere chat-fest. That ought to attract considerable notice at Moscow. A "friendly tussle" that breaks the back of one participant shows how sincere college boys can be in their brotherhood. Congressman Frear might have spared that reference to Mr. Mellon's income tax. Why rub it in? The Omaha woman who acted on Mr. Dunn's advice and screamed got rid of her burglar, all right. Sometimes it is not so easy to make a judge and jury see it in the same light the easy mark did.- The progressive party is all set and r'arin' to go in Douglas. Bids on grading show that something is com ing down. Too many gunmen are still at liberU- (From tht Boston Transcript Of the hornet in tht United States, I,4o7,t00 art lighted with electricity. J he fisurrt at taken from report! nud it the National Electric I.igM association. Ihey show, in addition, com mercial and industrial urt of electricity mf (icient to bring the total to ItU'SM. The great no4 ot I'gt't poured nightly upon the country from many nulliont of electric Ump hit growit from inslfinilictnt beginnings to it present proportions during a period of lull' more than forty years. Jt t in 1879 that Edison gave the world the first incsmlrtretit l(f tit that Mat commercially successful. In feeble glimmer marked the beginning of the process which ii bronchi about tht rresent-dav illumination. The growing volume of electric light hat served to illumine other and equally significant development! in modem life. Hit electric light in form to make it of us to large numbrrt r people, hat come Into their live along with the telephone. It it Iet than fifty yeart since Alex ander Graham Bell, here in Boston, spoke into hit crude telephone the hrit wordi to be tuc eeisfully transmitted. The other day the newt fanert printed summaries of the annual report of the Bell Telephone and Telegraph company. It thowed that there were in the Bell tyitem, or connected with it. 1J.J80.000 telephones. But when tt comet to rapidity of growth in use, it it not the electric light or the telephone that taket the palm. Hie automobile it the record breaker. It it true that a few motor vehicle! were constructed before Edison perfected hit in candescent lamn and Bel! found the lonz-soueht for meant of making an electric current rrpro- auce trie touncjt ot the voice, but the motor car. at a practicable appliance in a commercial tense, it of later development than either the electric light or the telephone. The latest survey thowed in this country 10,324,395 automobiles. They are the product of an industry which, for all practical purposes, may be said to nave grown up within the past twenty or twenty-five years. W ith that fact in mind, it becomes a question whether there will not toon be in the Lnited States more auto mobiles than telephones, as there are already more automobile users than there are purchasers of electricity for lighting and power purposes, even including those who used the stored energy of the electric battery to drive their motor vehicles. Of course, distinction must be made here between electric lighting of building and such lighting as that of automobiles. Nor is there taken into account users of electricity gen erated by privately owned plants. In these matters of illumination, communica tion and transportation, the United States has become a country transformed. In all three di rections, the practical common sense ot the American people hat made possible progress tin dreamed of in other countries. Two-thirds of all the telephones in the world are in the Bell sys tem. It addt each year more telephones than there are in all France. America is the only country in the world in which the farm telephone is accepted as a matter of course and a valuable aid in agricultural operations. As nearly as can be ascertained, there are about u,5UU,Uw automo biles in the world. America has five-sixths of them. Figures as to the development of electric lieht and cower in other countries are not at hand, but it is reasonable to assume that they would tell a similar story. Much is heard in these days about trade ivatrv among the nations and the struggle for the markets of the world. There are pessimists who view with alarm the low wages of other countries as they bear upon American prospects. But the best lighted country, the country with the best system of motor transport, and the,country that can the easiest communicate by the spoken word either from building to building in a single city or between cities perhaps thousands of miles apart has an advantage which goes far to give it a commanding position in the race. And it is also a country in which these aids to comfort and happiness do much to make life the better worth the living, apart from their function as important factors in maintaining and increasing industrial prosperity. Guam and the Treaties One of the most obvious facts in connection with the United States senate is that it has more than nouo;h husiness between now and a sum mer adjournment to keep itself fully occupied without spending an unnecessarily long time in the demonstration of its prerogatives in relation to the new treaties. These agreements, like any other made with foreign nations, covering many important details, have necessarily been arrived at through some compromises concessions by all parties. They must be judged m their en tirety and by what they accompusn. . One of the objections now being made to the naval treaty is that the United States agrees not to fortify Guam and the Philippines. If this was a concession bv the United States, it was bal anced by certain concessions on the part of Eng land and Japan, But it hardly appears to be a concession on our part when, as a matter of fact, congress has for twenty years refused to ap propriate money for the fortification of Guam and the establishment of a naval base there, and has been equally reluctant to vote money for fortifications in the Philippines. It is unlikely that congress would be more willing at the pres ent time when it is seriously considering naval cuts that would affect our own home defenses. The real question to consider is whether our national safety in the Pacific is not better guar anteed under the treaties which base it upon the honor of the nations party to it than' it would be by going ahead with naval competition and the construction of costly naval bases and forti fications and that question should neither require long dragging debate nor reservations that might put in jeopardy concessions that have been made by other governments.

The first week he went down to 4 pounds. He is a breast fed baby, with nothing- else. Ha has gained right along. He now weighs 5 pounds, and of late ho doesn't seem to gain any more. I am giving him one feeding of Nestle's food mixed with half cow'a milk and about half water, I give him this feeding about 8 a. m. At noon . I give him strained soup. Some days I give him a well baked Irish potato mashed. "Do you think this a good diet for him? I still nurse hlra every three hours. 'Ha has never nursed at night after 8 o'clock until of late, and he wants to nurse all night now. What do you think is the cause of this? He hag always slept alone. He sits lone, but doesn t try to stand or crawl at all. He hasn't a tooth yet. He was circumcised when he was months old. "If you can, please advise what to do to make him start gaining." KB PLY. Tour child is being overfed and as gained in weight rather too rap. idly. In addition, you are training him wrong. A baby 10 months old should be breast fed four times be tween 6 in the morning and 10 at night. In addition, he should have cooked cereal, toast, fruit juice, mashed vegetables and soup. No food should be given after 10 clock at night.

Ererywhere, c Lost in the Woods In the wooded region of northern Minnesota, news reports say, a man hunt that even includes the use of airplanes has been in progress for two weeks. This particular man is neither a fugitive nor a vagabond, but an honest citizen who pene trated these wilds in the pursuit of his legitimate business and was overtaken by one of those over whelming snowstorms that only northmen can appreciate for its horrors. A man lost in the woods I For miles around the news was quickly passed, and from all points men dropped their work to help find the unfortunate human being and attempt his rescue. Perhaps he is dead by this time; and yet his would-be rescuers have not taken thought for this almost certain eventuality, but are pressing in their work. A tale like this is news, hundreds of miles away, because a human life is jn danger. In the hurry of complex city affairs often there are seeming evidences that human life It held rather cheaply, and one becomes almost skeptical as to the value placed on it. But an incident such as this which has been reported to us from the northern woods restores one's confidence. It shows how the great human heart will respond, particularly on .the outer fringes of civilization, when a brother man is in trouble. Columbus (O.) Dispatch. Constitution Controls. So long as all the world now understand! that f he United States can pot engage in military or neonomic war except by action of congress, which can not belut, except by itself, under any moral obligation to engage in any kind of war, it would teem unnecessary to cumber a mere treaty with any reference to the matter.

We'd like to know but it looks as if we will have to wait several years more to find out. First Reo left the then modest, but now immense, Lansing factory in 1904. Output was small then, but quality from the first, as now, was "The Gold Standard of Values," and so we know of several Reos of that early vintage that are still running;. . Recently a Reo Branch Manager saw a 1904 Model Reo passing, caught the license number and wrote the owner to come in. Talk about used car values! why, it required much negotiation and real money to buy that seventeen-year-old Reo. And it is now the best "Demonstrator" the Reo salesmen have for it is self-evident that engi neers who knew how to design, apd a factory that knew how to put such quality into a motor vehicle seventeen years ago, must know how to mke the best automobiles and Speed Wagons today.
