FussRIL's Ice CREAN-
Omaha daily bee., 1888-04-04

TIE battle for high license in New
York, which has been waged with great
vigor, gives promise of being successful.
A bill has passed the lower branch Of
the Legislature and is o in the senate,
where the chief danger that coufronts
it is the desire Of certain republican
members to make the beer license very
low. The bill discrininates in favor Of
beer, but the particular friends OF that
beverage think the discrimination
ought to be still wider. 1t will be
speedily discovered, il the bill becomes
a law. that its fault is in making any
discrimination. A license law must be
uniform to be safe, just and efficient.
This is the lesson Of experience and
common sense, and it will ultimately
have to be accepted in New York as
81 where, if that state adopts the high
license principle.

How much longer will Hascall's cats
paws in the school board keep up the
farce OF introducing resolutions to de-
mand that the city shall pay back the
money contributed by the board of edu-
cation, through authority of the people,
toward the construction of the city hall?
Don't they know enough to know that
there is no money in the city treasury
TO pay them? Don't they know hat the
money which they did pay was secured
through a special school tax levy, and
therefore was not taken out of any of
the funds set apart for school purposes?
What object have they in playing tin
can to the council bell-wether unless it
be to get the board of education into
legal complications.
Omaha daily bee., 1888-04-04

thing more can be lone on the city hall
building. In this the doctor simply
echoed Hascall. Everybody con-
versant with the injunction order
knows better, Then the doctor
declared that he utterly disapprovcs the
Myers plans. We venture to assert
that the doctor has never seen those
plans, and has never called at the board
of public works TO examine them. But
suppose he had seen them, what is his
opinion worth as against that of compe-
tent builders, engineers and architects
who have examined these plans and
pronounce them first-class in every way.
Omaha daily bee., 1888-04-04

The board of education has its own
Hascall in the person of DR.. Saville.
Like the council bcll-wether who has
played iayhawker in Kansas and claim
jumper in Wyoming, this medicine
man has also a career and a record.
Years ago he was in Sioux City preach
ing ~ "a church, from which he IS
said to have backslidden into another.
Having performed the feat of a religi-
Gus acrobat the new convert was made
the agent at the Red Cloud Indian reser-
walton on the recommendation of
his bishop. There he soon became a
man of national repute, by reason OF the
charges which placed on him the re-
sponsibility for the starvation of his
wards through rascally -four and beef
contractors. The BEL gave publicity
to these charges of fraud and maltreat-
ment, and the good medicine mixer was
made TO vacate the reservation for the
benefit of the red man. Then he hied
himself TO Kearney, where he dabbled
in politics and medicine. But the
wicked do not always prosper.
Failing to build up a lucrative bust
ness at Kearney, the doctor came to
Omaha. Here he took a new departure
that promised to make him a power in
politics. The horny-handed medicine
man joined the Knights of Labor, and
commenced TO work with his jaw. BY
the influence of the toiling masses and
convention packers, he had himself
nominated for the school board last
June and was duly elected. In spite OF
his X. Of l.. ~ahliation the BEE refused tc
endorse him, because it knew him to be
a fraud from away back.
His performance on city hall %resolu'
tions explains itself. The great and
good doctor gave as his reasons forof.
fering the resolution demanding the
money from the council, the pretense
that the injunction of the courts re-
quires a vote. of the people before any.

THERE is a good deal of needless Off
c~iousness in regard to enforcing the
ordinance regulating the erection of
signs and sign posts, and the obstruc-
tion of sidewalks. In the first place,
the business streets of Omaha are wider
than those of IA large majority of Amer
lean cities. If a sign happens to project
twelve or eighteen inches beyond the
exact line fixed by ordinance, nobody
is very seriously inconvenience.
Most of the sidewalks are
from sixteen to twenty feet wide, while
al Kansas City, ST. Louis, Philadelphia
and ever New York four and six foot
sidewalks are considered ample for
~thoroughfares that do as much traffic in
a day as any business street in Omaha
does in a week. This display. of mer-
chandise on sidewalks sixteen to twenty
feet wide need not necessar-
lily be treated as an obstruc7
tion. Neither docs the loading
Omaha daily bee., 1888-04-04

and unloading OF merchandise require
interference by the police. On Water
street in Chicago, barrels, boxes and
crates are piled upon the sidewalks ten
feet high and people have TO thread
their way with the greatest Of care, but
the police do not interfere. The peo-
pie of Chicago very cheerfully submit
to the inconvenience of a booming
traffic. So they do in other cities.
Instead of meddling with signs and
boxes Of merchandise, the police can
make itself more useful by looking
after the alleys and having them
cleaned Of rubbish and decayed
vegetables,

MIR. ANDREW CARNEGIE is going to
try ''proft sharing" in the regulation
OF wages of the steel workers at Brad

Sound that the price has increased wages

vantage of this method for regu-
lating the wages Of factory and mill
hands win be fully demonstrated in Mr..
Carnegie's steel mill. II the plan
brings about a cordial relation between
employer and employee and an equita-

THE sugar trust has been in existence
five months, and last week declared a
dividend of two and one-half per cent
for that period. This dividend was on
a certificate capital of forty-five mill
ion dollars, which is three times the
amount of the actual investment, so that
at this rate the trust is realizing eigh-
teen per cent annually ON its capital.
A most profitable business, certainly,
and capable of being made more so if
the sugar schedule of the Mills tariff
bill should prevail. This proposes a
material reduction IN the low grades
from which the trust %refines, and a
slight reduction in the higher grades
that would go into consumption in COM
petition with the product of the trust.
1t is estimated that since the
trust was formed the advance on
refined sugars has given it a
profit of a million and aquarter dollars,
and this advance was without excuse,
since the price of its raw material has
declined. 1t was purely the exercise of
a right of monopoly to plumber the peo-
pie. The trust will doubtless be con-
tent to allow the price of sugar to re-
main where it is for the present. 1t is
doing fairly well in earning eighteen
per cent on its Investment. But if
nothing is done by congress to put a
restraint upon it, an advance of the
price of sugar will speedily follow adj
iournment, and it will need the addition
Of but one cent "A pound to the product
of the trust to yield il a profit that will
more than double the dividend for the
mast five mOnths.

FILLING the Assessors, blanks.

The most difficult problem OF taxation
is the assessment OF property. While
the state laws require all property to
be assessed at its actual cash value. a
very wide difference of opinion prevails
as to what the cash value OF any prop
erty subject TO taxation actually is.
In appraising real estate the assessors
usually place its valuation at from one
fourth to one-ffth Of its market value,
or rather the price at which il would
sell ordinarily. There are, however,
many instances where assessors rate
real estate at from one-tenth to one
twentieth of its market value. This, Of
course, works injustice to taxpayers
whose property is assessed at the usual
rate.
Personal property values are fixed by
the owner on the assessors blank. 1t Is
presumed that parties would make
their return Of personal property or the
basis of one-fourth to one-ifth of its
market value. But the divergence is
ever much greater on personal prop
erty returns than on realty. Some peo-
pie who are conscientious, and feel that
they should certify to the exact truth, fill
out the blank with an estimate of the
actual value of their furniture, mer-
%chandise, carriages, horses and mort
cages. Others compress their con-
sciences into n very small compass and
manage to evade their just share of
axe by forgetfulness of what their
bank account, mortgage-loans and pos
sessions in movable property would
bring even at sheriff's sale. In other
words, the honest and conscientious cit
izen volunteers to bear the heaviest
| part of the burden. This class is made
up largely of the wage worker and pro
fessional man. The money-lender,

II is understood to be the desire and
intention of the democratic majority in
the house of representatives to devote
as much time as possible during the next
two weeks to appropriation bills, so that
when the tariff bill comes in for discus
sion it can have as nearly as may be a
clear course. But in this matter the
majority proposes and Mr.. Randall dis
poses. The chairman of the appropria-
tions committee has not thus far exhib-
tied any solicitude about pushing the
business of which he has charge, and
there is no reason to suppose that he
will do so now in order to crafty the
element which ~autagonizes him and of
which he has nothing to expect. He
ward the chances of the Mills tariff
bill, and he has it in his power
to again employ his well known
obstructive tactics. 1t is more than
likely that he will have a lot of appro-
priation bills ready, and will urge them
for consideration, just about the time
that the house is prepared to go OF with
the tariff debate, and in one way and
another will manage to keep these bills
in position for the purpose Of obstruc-
tion whenever he shall deem it ex-
pedient to pursue that policy. This he
has done before and it is apprehended
will do again. And unfortunately the
house is helpless, since appropriation
bills have precedence and their control
is entirely in the hands of the chair
man of the appropriations committee.
