Here is a case where the atate tax
bas increased by more dollars than
any other. In many ways this is un
usual. It is frequently the case that
measured in percentage state and
school taxes rise about the same. Us
ually, however, the increase of the
state tax in actual money is much
the smaller, since the amount involv
ed it less to start with. Thus, if one
gives a dollar to the state one year,
and the next doubles his contribu
tion, there has been an increase of
100 per cent. If one gives $2 to tome
other branch and the next year
doubles that, this increase of 100 per
cent represents $2 in the one case
and only $1 in that of the state. Mr.
Roberts case is exceptional, among
the remarkable aspects being that of
a very heavy township levy in 1914
and an entire absence of any town
ship levy last year. State taxes show
up here to great disadvantage. Al
most half the increase in his tax bill,
excluding the township item, is due
to state taxes.
Half of Increase for Schools.
Down in Otoe county, in Nebras
ka City, is the residence of Keal
Bryan, assessed at $4,200. The taxes
on this have gone up $72.85 eincc
1914. The treasurer's report shows
that more than half this was for
schools. The city took an increase
.of $21.21. while the state, tax was
boosted $9.49.
J. H. Catron, also of Nebraska
City, paid $99.19 more taxes than in
1914, on his residence. Out of his
total tax of $191.59 he paid $19.31 to
the state. $12.87 to the county, $65.81
to the city, $87.59 for schools, and
$5.85 road tax.
A complete table showing the

The tecond went into more detail
and warned the jurors that, while

"Take your choke of bring; bump

$5,000 "fixing fund" to insure the
disagreement of the jurors who

janitors' union, was reported to be
in the hands of the state's attorney.
Jurors Given Laugh.
Of the $5,000 slush fund, it was
said, only $1,000 was paid to the
jurors, most of it having gone to one
man. Jhe others were promised
money, but after they had voted ac
cording to orders, they were given
the "horse laugh" and told they
would be bumped off if they made
any noise about it.

democratic vote in favor of ratiuca
tion. Without his assistance, the
treaty probably would have been re
jetted because four republicans broke
away from their party lines and
voted against the pact.
Only two senator were ah: cut
They were Crow of I'cnnsylvania,
republican, and Jonc of cv Mex

When the senate met at noon, it
began voting on amendments at
once. By previous agreement, all
talk was out of order. Unusually
large crowds, which thronged the
galleries, grew restive in the monot
ony of roll call alter roll call, un
broken by debate, but there were al
ways plenty of people waiting in the
corridors to till the places of those
who left.
La Follette Presents Changes.
The opposition mustered its max
imum strength on reservations de
signed to convert the four-power
treaty into a sort of league of na
tions. Senator Walsh of Montana
and Senator Robinson of Arkansas
democrats, presented a series of such
reservations providing for the calling
of general free-for-all conferences
whenever the peace of the world is
menaced. One of Senator Walsh's
reservations muttered the high water
mark of the opposition, but was
beaten, 55 to 36.
Senator LaFollcttc of Wisconsin
presented a series of six reservations
and forced roll calls on all of them.

year and $18.18 in 1914. The in
crease m his state tax has been $1.64
out of a total increase-of $20.09.
Any taxpayer can make a similar
survey of his own tax bill. The mill
levy for each division of the govern
ment is separately printed on the
back of the receipts. It is a simple
matter of multiplication. Any school
child could do it. And, by the way,
it might not be a bad idea to give
the children in the schools some
arithmetic examples based on taxa
tion. The question of taxation,
after all, is properly more one of
arithmetic than of partisan politics.
To admit this is to spoil the effect
of a lot of flowery oratory, but it
would go far toward setting the busi
ness of government on-a business
basis.
