THE OMAHA BEE, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 81, 1896.

These sales are accepted as fixing the
value of the imported goods and thus
the way to defraud the government be-
comes simple and easy.
This system will give way to specific
duties in the new tariff and this change
alone will insure an addition to the rev
cnue of not less than S2O,o0O,OO0 an
nually, or an amount equal to about
onc-third of the estimated deficit for the
current fiscal year. Besides this it will
reduce materially the cost of collecting
the customs revenue the ad valorem
system requiring many more officials
than when specific duties are employed.
The one plan Is an incentive to dishon-
csty and fraud: the other Is fair, just
and secures the treasury against
loss of revenue from this source.
When the present tariff law
was under discussion in congress the
republicans pointed out the mistake of
adopting the al valorcm system, Had
their counsel been needed the treasury
would have been largely the gamer and
there would be one less ground OF COM
plaint against the Wilson-Gorman tariff.
The general sentiment among those who
have so far presented their views before
the ways and means committee is in
favor of specific duties.

WILL me ST1ND Up F0B O,l1nAY

WILL He STAND bP FOR OMAHA
In his inaugural address as mayor of
Omaha. William j. Broatch pledged him.
self to give the city 81 careful business
administration" If this pledge was
made in good faith Mayor Broatch owes
it to himself as well us to the people of
omaha to interpose his veto upon the
two monstrous jobs that have been engi-
neered through the expiring council.
The council has by resolution, which
requires the mayors approval, directed
the city attorney to confess judgment
for the sum of 5,6T3.S5 in favor of the
Barber Asphalt company. 1t is Il matter
of record that large part of this claim
is fraudulent. 1t represents charges for
repairs that were never made and work
that failed to secure the approval of the
city engineer or Board of Public Works.
Repeated attempts to logroll this claim
through succeeding councils have been
frustrated by the vetoes of Mayor Bemis.
The fact that the contractors have not
dared to push their claim through the
courts should have been II sufficient
ground for its rejection by the council.
The trumping up of letter protesting
Il sudden change of view by Peter w.
Birkhauser, eX- chairman of the Board of
Public Works, who formerly denounced
the bill as n gigantic swindle, merely
shows that the contractors peculiar
persuasive powers have not been ex-
erted in vain.
Why was this proposition for the city
to confess Judgment for $35,000 held back
to the closing hours of the present coun-
ell? If the claim were an honest one
would not the Barber company have
forced it to trial years ago? Is there
any valid excuse for Il pretended COM
promise that robs the taxpayers of thou
sands of dollars? These questions must
confront Mayor Broatch when he is
asked to approve the Barber asphalt
resolution. ii the city's affairs are to be
administered on business principles the
mayor will refuse to sanction what no
business man would for moment enter
tain.
An equally pernicious measure was put
contract for the lease of new Jail. The
fact that this is n real estate speculation
in which one of the councilmen is notori-
ously interested should in itself cause
its summary rejection. With this job
as with the Barber asphalt claim the
mayor is as familiar rs the public. AS
business proposition it is utterly in
Both of these jobs were tied
together to get the necessary votes in
the council and both reek with corrup-
ton.
VIII the mayor stand up for Omaha
and redeem the pledge he made in his
inaugural address by interposing veto?
If he does his course will be commended
and the service will be appreciated.

WASHINGTON, Dec 30--The Crow Creek
Sioux delegation OF South Dakota has not

Browning this morning. They recited the
circumstances leading up to the Sioux treaty
of 1880. by which they gave up certain
lands, and for which an act was passed CIV

explained that the money is now In the

that payment must be authorized by legis-

SIMPLIFYING PENSION RULES.

Pensioners and those having claims
to pensions will welcome the changes
that nave just been made simplifying
the procedure in certain cases. The pur,
pose is to expedite the business and
there can be no question as to the desir-
ability of doing this. The tedious de-
lays incident to the practice of the pen.
sion office in some respects have unques-
tionably worked serious hardships TO
many claimants of the governments
bounty and this can hardly be justified
as essential to the protection of the gov
ernment or to serve the ends of justice
As has repeatedly been urged the pen
sion machinery is unnecessarily compli-
Gated and the changes now made can
fairly be accepted as evidence of this
1t is highly probable that under re-
publican administration, which will not
be harassed with the fear that every
body who puts in claim for Il pension
or an increase OF pension is bent upon
defrauding the government. 1t will be
found eXpedient to still further simplify
the rules and practice of the pension
office. Care and thoroughness are of
course to be desired in the work of the
office. No honest claimant of pension
will object to this. But the rules of the
Office should be of such Il nature as will
cause the least possible hardship, by
reason Of unnecessary delay, to those
who have just claim upon the beneti-
cence of the nation.

POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS.
Their Establishment n Popular ana
BSncfcent Measure.

1t is a reprcach to the government of the
United States that 1t has not established pos
tai savings banks. 1t has the machinery at
hand for putting the system in operation
The benefits resulting would be incalculable
No objection to the establishment of postal
savings banks that Is worthy OF serious con
sidoration can be brought forward. Con-
seTyatiyes and radicals alike must admit
their desirability. If congress really wishes
to do something to benefit the great mass
Of the people and to allay popular dscon-
tent. particularly throughout the west and
south let 1t establish postal savings banks
for the accommodation OF persons of small
means. The party just come into power
could become IGSponsible for no more popular
measure
Wherever tried postal savings banks have
proved remarkably successful and popular.
Their influence in giving stability to govern
ment is manifest They encourage thrift
and independence. Owing to the fact that
deposits are limited in amount there Is no
serious interfeEende with the business of
private banking Institutions. The latter
deal with an entirely different class OF
customers-dc pssit6rs OF larger means than
those who. usefthe postal savings banks. By
encouraging saving the postal savings banks
oven have tendency to increase the num-
Der Of those who may and do become de-
postors in private banks.
All the leading nations OF the world with
Lhe exception OF two or three, have postal
savings banks, andSall have better facilities
Tor the accommodation OF savings depositors
than has the United States. While savings
deposits In this country have shown a
gradual increase during the last quarter OF a
century the savings deposits and number OF
depositors In countries having postal savings
banks have grown by leaps and bounds In
Tho United States so per cent of the savings
banks and savings deposits are In the New
England states and New York. Throughout
the west and south. except In the great
conters OF population. II Is impossible for
Grivate enterprise to furnish savings facil-
tiles sufficient to meet the needs OF the peo-
pie Besides. the depositor OF small means
frequently Ia not able to pick out from pri-
vate banks those that are safe. and conse-
quontly viii trust none, whereas all could
have confidence In an institution controlled
by the national government
Postal savings banks would contribute
materially to the wealth and happiness OF
the people and TO the stability OF the govern
ment. Congress should not delay longer in
establishing them.
Omaha daily bee., 1896-12-31

The reassuring words of Comptroller
Eckels in connection with recent bank
failures will only substantiate the con-
clusion reached by all thoughtful and
unprejudiced students of the present
financial situation. The banks which
have failed have in almost every case
invited disaster by reckless misuse of
their assets. No general panic need be
feared so long as the genuinely substan-
tial financial institutions of the coun-
try remain unimpaired.
