CoiU and Rewards of Citizenship.
Omaha, first city of Nebraska in population
and wealth, lead, also in' per capita taxation, with
, a figure 'of $ J 1.09, according to the compilation
by thc state department of finance. Superior,
Wayne and Hroken Bow follow in the order
named. It it quite probable that extravagance
it in part responsible for this showing, but the
possibility must also be admitted that citizens of
these communities are getting more in return for
their taxes than are those of towns spending less.
There are compensations for high local taxes,
though no one at present is in the mood for
seeking them out. Government, whether local,
state or national, does not take without giving
something back, at least It can be asserted
without danger of contradiction that those places
having small levies are attaining their savings by
sacrifice as well as public thrift
More public money goes for schools than any
other branch of public activity. Undoubtedly
there is waste in education, but can any one
point out a private school run on strict business
principles, that can give the same instruction as
the public schools for as small cost? The aver
age Nebraikan who has a child in school is re
ceiving more in return for his school tax than he
could get out of investing the same sum in any
other way. And most parents will feel that
those who are childless are therefore the better
able to afford a contribution to education, to
which, by the way they themselves were freely
entitled.
. Statistics show that in Bayard, Neb., which
is a comparatively new country where there were
s few years back no educational facilities, the
cost per pupil is $113.07. In Sidney it is $104.64.
The cost of a year's education in Kearney is less
than half as much, $50.27, and in Falls City,
$32.06. The figure given for Omaha in this table
compiled in Lincoln is $7.4.70. This is correct
as far as direct taxation is concerned, but does
not include indirect income from fines and
licenses. The statement of the Omaha board of
education sets the actual cost per pupil in the
elementary schools last year at $83.07, and in
high school at $150.50. This compares with much
lower figures for 1914, $48.95 for the grades and
$58.52 in high school. A, good deal of the in
crease in high school costs is due to the in
stallation of technical courses, the most costly
sort of education.
People say that they want lower taxes, andi
in fact, the burden of government must be light
ened. This happy result can only in small meas
ure be obtained by eliminating waste most of it
must be sought by public self-denial. And, once
more it is repca'ted, the bulk of taxes go to the
school districts and local governments, not to
the state.
Governor McKelvie's Timely Notice.
At the recent gathering of republicans at
Lincoln the governor said that prospective candi
dates will be expected to stand by the work they
have helped to do. This is not unreasonable:
The legislature passed certain laws, belieying
them to be conducive to better government in the
state. An active minority, taking advantage of
the referendum, has secured the suspension of
these laws until passed upon by the voters.
What the governor asks is that the legislators
who voted for these measures defend their
course before' the people, explaining why they
thought it right that such laws should be enacted.
Of course, he concedes to each the right to
change his mind and to attack his own record,
but neutrality is hardly a becoming attitude un
der the circumstances. Opposition to these meas
ures is part of the general campaign against the
McKelvie administration, which is the basis of
' the opposition campaign. McKelvie has encoun
tered not a little opposition in his own party,
yet it is not fair or reasonable that all,he has
' done be condemned because some of it was not
done to the satisfaction of everybody. : The work
of the legislature, however, is quite apart from
the work of the executive, and its members, when
.put on the defensive, as they are by the refer
ence of certain laws, should have something to
say for themselves. That is what the governor
has in mind when he gives them notice that the
attack is on them rather than on him. If the
legislation was worthy of passage it deserves de
fense by those who made it.
, t - War on the Speeder.
Like the dandelion, the speeder is a pest hard
to get rid of. Also, like the dandelion again,
if he affected himself only, he would never be
molested. But, just as the dandelion mars the
beauty of an otherwise well kept lawn, so does
the thoughtless, heedless driver, spoil the joy
of the road for other drivers, and puts in jeopardy
those who come under the orbit of his flight.
He has been warned and fined, cajoled and
scolded, and sometimes cursed in good heart,
but to no purpose. He cares for no ordinary
treatment, he steps on the gas and away he
goes. Any who happen to be in his way are
out of luck; ' -
In cities other than Omaha the treatment is
much more drastic than here. In Denver for
example, the speeder goes to jail, and stays
there. The result is that traffic on Denver streets
is far safer than on those of Omaha. Perhaps
if the local policjgmajistrates would take into
consideration the bet that a driver who wilfully
violates the law by driving liis car at a dangerous
rate of speed is not a safe person tj t Irt run,
nd so should be retired from circulation for a
lime, it would U of help in solving the problem.
Small fine are of no avail; threatening to
impound cars or even doing so hat little tffrft
on the evil. If driving an automobile around
Omaha is to liold pleasure for the occupamt of
the tar, and leave the street safe far others
who alto "hiuit ue the in, it will pot come until
the speeder it climiuated, and present methods
are not efficacious to the desired end.
When Democrat. Are Frank.
Thoe who are Inclined to scoff at the sin
cerity of partisan advocates frequently ak what
President Harding would have to do in order to
win the approval of democratic newspaper. It
i possible that nothing he could do, short of
resigning from office, would gain him a. word of
commendation from some of hit political foes.
It it, therefore, with real plraiure that those who
are Americana first and partisans after will read
an editorial from the New York World on the
report of the budget director, Charlet G. Dawes,
Representative Pyrns, who challenged Presi
dent Harding to show any record of saving in
government expenditures, was favored with a full
financial report which he received without enthu
siasm, approval or anything hut disdain. The
New York World, known at the mouthpiece of
President WiUon, it more fair, at It shown in
the following excerpt from an editorial entitled
"A Triumph for the Budget:"
Director Charles G. Dawet hat been able
to give to the president. and the president to
conerc.s. a very good account of the operation
of the bureau of the budget for the first few
, months of active existence. The government's
savings for the current hsrai year are nlared at
$907,500,000. of which no less than $250,000,000
can be attributed to economies and efficiencies
effected by executive pressure upon the various
departments.
The World drops its partisanship before this
achievement, which benefits democratic and re
publican taxpayers alike, and concludes: 1
The great credit due to Mr. Dawet and the
Harding administration i not to be belittled.
The budget system is already amply vindi
cated. But it will take more than one year for
it to work out its full worth. The executive
branch of the government is doing its part to
that end. It remains for congress to do its
part in co-operation with the executive and this
is what, up to date, congress has not beei.
doing.
Nebraska Tells the World.
An Illinois manufacturer's magazine singles
out Nebraska for congratulation, calling public
attention to the fact that this great state is now
well on the way back to normal and permanent
prosperity. Other states are not receiving this
recognition even though tbey have come back as
well as has Nebraska. Some folks seem actually
to enjoy telling bad news, but this state since the
first of the year has been in a more optimistic
frame of mind.
Recently Governor McKelvie embarked on a
campaign of publicity for Nebraska. Wherever
he has been he has made a point of telling of the
improvement in business. He has written many
letters to financial and industrial concerns citing
figures on the increased value of grain, live stock
and other Nebraska products.
"The governor's letter to us," remarks the
editor of the Illinois publication, "breeds
optimism and confidence in the future, -two things
that are needed now in abundant quantities.
Spreading the gospel of Nebraska's come-back
offers a lesson to all of us let's look at the
doughnut, not the hole."
Nebraska is not without its calamity propa
gandists. Were they more numerous they might
be influential in drawing the state back in the
slough of hard times. However, their efforts at
discouragement are pretty well discounted, partly
as efforts to stir up unrest and gain political cap
ital. Nebraska is coming back, and it is im
portant that the world outside should hear of it.
For the Russian People.
Lloyd George has pleaded with the delegates
at Genoa not to send the soviet representatives
home empty handed, because it might confirm
the starving, destitute people of Russia in the
belief that they are forgotten by the world out
side. Such an' effect would be deplorable, and it
must be remembered that the chief approach to
the people of any country is through their gov
ernment. So, if the Russians are to be led back
to safe ground, the first step will have to come
from the group that is in control. Millions of
tons of food sent into a famine-stricken region is
good evidence to the sufferers that they are not
abandoned, but it is .not enough to win them
entirely away from their adventure into an un
fortunate experiment. Recovery will be slow
but the process will be made the more certain if
action taken at Genoa is such as will permit
some encouragement to the masses, that their
case is not entirely hopeless. In the end the
Russians will have to help themselves, but they
should npt be allowed to live on under the ap
prehension, so carefully engendered by the Lenin
Trotzky group, that all the world has lost sym
pathy for them. Lloyd George's plea will find
an echo and may bring results at .Genoa. Even
tually, however, fhe people of Russia will have
to wearily, but hopefully, retrace some of the
steps they have so hastily taken. .
There are 1,035,948 women in employment in
New York state 63,637 teachers, 5,635 actresses,
3,845 artists and 918 editors and reporters among
them. If these self-supporting persons wish to
bob their hair or wear short skirts, who is going
to prevent them?
The Hungarian government has banned the
writings of the good gray poet, Walt Whitman,
as stirring up the revolutionary spirit, but not
even this prohibition will induce the American
public to read him. '

The Illinois Central railroad is about to issue
$10,000,000 worth of stock to finance the elec
trification of its Chicago suburban lines, which
should do a lot to reduce the smoke nuisance
there.
Nebraska's democratic senator returned to
Washington long enough to complain that the
republicans were trying to pass a tariff measure.
Will he be there to vote on its final passage I
"The shame of the cities" today is the power
lessness of the police to check banditry.
Another bill to limit senatorial election ex
penses is offered in congress. It will probably
get senatorial support.
Russia is beginning to wonder what the party

Auburn Republican.
W. R. Dutton: Congressman Graham's ad
dress to the republicans of Nebraska was a
startling revelation. His indictment of the Wil
son administration 1 so astounding that one
stands aghast at his reckless expenditures, crimi
nal incompetency and partisan misrule. That
fcrgy of squander and mismanagement was so
irreat eo vast, in Its effects so Injurious, that
the people will suffer from it for many year to

wake up Nebraska republicans and do a world

Table Rock Argus.
Frank II. Taylor: .The republican confer
ence and speech of Congressman Graham at
Lincoln last week ought to arouse the people
to the gigantic Job the republicans assumed
when they took over the rein ot government, and
to the fact that $24, 000, 00", 000 deficit cannot be
mot without sacrifice on the part of those who
have to pay the bills. Efficiency without waste
is good doctrine.

M. A. Brown r While the conference did not
sound any keynote, the speakers confounded the
enemies of republicanism with the summary of
achievement presented by Congressman Graham
and the arraignment of Hitchcock's record by

ence is to justify republican faith and vindicate
the ' administration in all essential particulars.
Xeligh Leader.
Congress Graham correctly sensed the
dominant issues in the coming campaign re
duction of government expenses and a conse
quent reduction in the tax burden, and relief
for the agricultural and business interests.
He made a clear presentation of what the
republican party has done in these matters and
also a vital contrast when he put against the
claims' of the democrats as to what they would
do if given power the facts as to what they did
with the country's resources when they had
power.
- Gering Courier.
A concrete statement of republican accom
plishments in national achievements is startling
in Its scope of economy and reduction of expense.
Cannot expect full recovery from the plight the
nation found itself in at the end of the world
war to be reached in a day nor even wholly by
legislation. Facts brought home at the Lin
coln meeting should Inspire renewed confidence
in the good faith and sincere effort of the pres
ent administration.
: Nelson Gazette. ,,r " - ,
The wholesome effect of the republican con
ference at Lincoln and Congressman Graham's
expose of the democratic waste is already evi
dent. In confining it's deliberations to the Btudy
of the public's business rather than to further
the interests of party candidates, the conference
gives evidence of superior wisdom and Invites
confidence. It has drawn the issue for the com

disregard for the tax-payers while they were In

Man's Lost Knickerbockers
Women in knickerbockers crowd the board
walk at Alantic City, says a news iten.
Men lost a good opportunity when they
omitted to adopt knickerbockers for permanent
use, after the subsidence of the bicycle craze.
The girls now are adopting them. Soon the
identification of short "pants" with women's
apparel may be complete. It then will be, per
haps, impossible for men to wear them.
A woman will wear unabashed, a mannish
garment A man, who is 100 percent masculine
would prefer being shot at sunrise against a
dead wall rather than be considered effeminate.
He will not wear anything which suggests his
being effeminate.
Men once wore plumed hats. Nowadays
only women, in the western world, so adorn
themselves. A man in a picture hat is now in
conceivable. .
When, or if, knickerbockers become a part
of the sports wardrobe of women men may hes
itate to wear them. The female of the species
is not bent upon strict adherence to costumic
effects proclaiming the wearer therof, but man
will not risk the drear possibility of his seeming
for an instant, in anyone's eyes, anything but a
man. But he wouldn't stick to knickerbockers
when bicycling was abandoned, and inasmuch
as he wouldn't the girls have a clear right to a
sensible and a useful bifurcated garment which
be laid aside. Louisville Courier-Journal.

Tartaric acid Is not quite so
wholesome as the other two men
tioned. Nevertheless, In ordinary
donee It ran be set down as a thor
oughly wholesome fruit acid.
The great source of tartaric acid
Is the grape.
In addition to the above whole-
some fruit acid there are certain
fruit and vegetable acid which are
not regarded as wholesome. Chief
among these Is oxalic nrld.
Oxalate crystals are frequently
found In the urine. Oxalate gravel
and oxalate stones are among the
more frequent varieties of these
disorders.
The theory is that when oxalates
are eaten in food they are absorbed,
but that the human body is inca
pable of breaking them up into
water, carbonlo acid and energy, but
that, having circulated awhile in the
fluids of the tissue, they are thrown
off by the kidneys. The harm done
by them is done principally to the
organs which throw them off.
According to this theory a person
may stand a small dally dose of oxa
late for & fair time without trouble
to his urinary organs, but that a
massive dose, or too long continu
ance of a moderate dose, is harmful.
Some persons are harmed by small
doses.

Benzoic acid Is generally classed,
along with oxalic, as a harmful vege
table acid.
The foods richest In benzoic acid
are cranberries, plums and prunes.
