THE ASSAULT ON TIE ARMY

The indiscriminate de%nunciation of
the army in the Philippines by Senator
Rawlins and other democrats is meet
ing with some popular resentment. A
great majority of the American people
Will refuse to believe that the soldiers
who are unfolding the flag and the SOW
ereignty of the United States in the far
east are all inhuman and cruel and
those who thus characterize them are
being sharply condemned, as they de-
serve to be. The Utah senator has felt
called upon to explain that he did not,
in his speech in the senate, call General
Chaffee a bastard villain" but this
does not mitigate his unjust and unwar-
ranted assault on the army.
No n attempts to justify the cruel.
ties alleged to have been committed,
but it is manifestly unfair and unjust
to hold the entire army responsible. As
was said by Governor Taft in his ad.
dress to the Yale students, there are
500 military posts in the Philippines
and a larger number of detachments in
the field, so that II is possible for ex-
ceptional Instances of abuses to occur
without IMPLYING the conduct of the
army, which he declared is on the whole
humane and considerate toward the ma
tlves. That this is so was shown by
the numerous petitions OF natives a
few days & sent to the senate In
which there was unqualified acknowl-
edgement Of the good treatment they
had received from the American sol
diers. 1t was not 20 be expected said
Governor Taft, that in an army Of co.
u men there should not be brutes or
weak men who would yield to the
temptation Of arbitrary power and the
~provOeatiOn Of the ambush and treach-
cry, savagery and danger Of the Filipino
guerilla warfare as ii was practiced. -
Some information as to the character
Of this warfare is coming out in the
testimony before the eourt-martial at
Manila, but doubtless much Of the evil
dence Is not made public for the reason
that the details Of Filipino brutality
and b~arbarity are not ut for publication.

According to the ruling by Judge BaI-
ter, to the effect that votes sworn in by
unregistered electors must be vouched
for by two resident freeholders Of the
voting precinct. it is doubtful IL a single
unregistered voter has ever had his vote
properly sworn In at any election in this
city. Such an Interpretation Of the
law means substantially the disfran-
chisement of all persons who fail to
register In cities where registration is
required, as it is manifestly next to i'm
possible for each political party to keep
legally qualified freeholders accessible
on election day for each Of the seventy
odd voting precincts in Omaha. The
total elimination of the unregistered
vote would entail no special hardship
and would be in line with practice in
eastern cities, but would 1t not be better
to have 1t done by legislative amend
ment of the election laws rather than
by judicial law-making?

Pau Revere's house in Boston, from
which he started on his famous ride, is
now an Italian bank.
Ex-Governor Morrill's apple orchard in
Kansas now contains over $4,000 trees, and

four years past. which has been renewed
four times on account of his inability to
pay 1t.

The fear that the franchlsed corpora
tons may get the worst Of 1t in the cur.
rent tax levy under an assessed val
uation revised according to the supreme
court mandate need not worry anybody
seriously. Even though 1t be true that
the corporate assessments might be
fixed proportionately higher than some
personal assessments made by the tax
commissioner, the corporations have
been having decidedly the best of 1t for
a long succession of years and on the
average will still be noticeably to the
good. Lucky for them that the supreme
court decision does not provide for the
collection of back obligations which
these corporations have evaded from
year TO year.

WILLING TO STAND BIZ ms RECORD

WILLING TO STAND By IFS RECORD.
The Bee has been accustomed to i'm
pertinent curtain lectures from ire
sponsible nondescripts who for some
inscrutable reason temporarily occupy
editorial positions in this community.
These people never lose an opportunity
to represent The Bee and its editor as
intensely selfish and lnsanely hostile to
enterprises calculated to promote the
growth and prosperity of this city.
Pointing backward only a few years, we
recall the bitter d~enunciations of this
paper because it opposed the acceptance
of a public library site with a string
tied to it and persisted in it's assertion
that water would be struck within
twelve feet below the surface OF the
Hitchcock p~ostoffice block. In both in
stances The Bees position has been
fully vindicated.
The Geraldine incident during the ex-
position was another example. A few
months ago The Bee was denounced as
an enemy Of Omaha because 1t dared
to admonish the promoters of the
auditorium that another 100000 would
nave to be raised before the project
could be successfully carried out. That
position has also been sustained by the
disagreeable logic of events.
The howl about The Bees attitude
toward the se~lf-styled National Editorial
association is made the subject Of an
other impertinent lecture. We are told
that "the editor of The Bee attacks
everything in which he or his progeny
are not personally Interested" We are
told also that Omaha people know
that the National Editorial association
is made the target for the shafts of the
Omaha paper because its editor has no
interest in the association" The people
Of Omaha may not remember, but It is
nevertheless a fact, that The Bee ex-
pended several hundred dollars in en-
tertaining the National Editorial asso-
citation In It's building eleven years ago.
That was before the association had
struck the reefs that resulted in It's
practical dislntegration. Even then it's
travelling membership was made up
largely Of actresses. miIiners, country
doctors and other people who managed
in some way to travel on editorial
badges. II Is scarcely necessary to add
that the hostile attitude Of The Bee is
not inspired by selhshness. but because
Il detests shams and humbugs of all
kinds and because it does not want
Omaha to be imposed on. The Bee
does not propose 10 countenanee or en-
courage editorial associations that have

COST OF MODERN WAR.
Great R-tsstE'= Military Borrowing
Much Larger Than in S12

$40 = ln8n
Much Larger Than in 1912.
New York Evening Post.
So FAR as government borrowings are an
indication, the annual cost of the Boer war
to Great Britain has been nearly doubls
that Of the wars against Napoleon 100
years ago. In the period Of 1792-1SO2, when
England was fighting incessantly in almost
every corner Of the globe and was In ad-
dition substituting half a dozen continental
states, the principal of the British debt
increased e297, 1883, 5S7-an average annual
increase Of 92s, 7S9, 900. Between 1902 and
1915, a period which covered the Spanish
campaign. the American war and Water
loo, the debt increased $685. $50, 041-an
annual average of s24,s75 900.
Loans raised by the exchequer during the
two years following the Boer war outbreak
in October, 1899, foot up e114,0 900, 900. They
include the s30,0 0o, 900 war loan Of 1900
and two issues OF a13, 900, 900 exchequer
bonds in the same year, ESQ, 900, 900 consols
in 1901 and Eli. o0O, 900 exchequer bonds.
The above list does not include the tempo
rary treasury bills issued in 1899 and 1900
or the s14. 413.o00 Of the same bills issued
after the, consols loan OF 1901 and still out
standing. Neither does the above list in
Ciuuc lUhub lbbueQ ny inc e1CneQuer LOT
other than war purposes.
II will appear. therefore. that, disregard
ing the amount raised by increased taxa
tion in this war or in the Napoleonic con-
test. the Boer war has cost the British
government an average of a57, 900. 900 per
annum in loans, against an average annual
cost OF e24, 800, 900 to e29, 300, 600 per annum
In the Napoleonic contest.
The much greater cost OF supplies, am
munition. transportation and equipment as
compared with 1892. and the fact that there
have been and are still more British SOL
diers under arms in South Africa than
were commanded by Wellington in 1918,
sufficiently account for the heavier outlay.
1t must, however. be remembered that
the British war loans OF the Napoleonic
period were issued at very heavy discounts,
being put out at prices as low as 80 and
with interest as high as 6 per cent, whereas
the lowest price OF the recent loans has
been s4h for a 2% per cent loan.

TIE DUTY OF THE COUNCIL.

In complying with the mandate Of the
supreme court It is the duty of the
council TO ascertain the actual value of
the taxable property OF the franchlsed
corporations by adding together the
bonds and stocks issued by each cor
poratlon, computing their value at the
current market price and ~deducting
from the total the amount assessed
against these corporations for the real
property listed by the precinct assessors.
II is the duty of the council, when this
computation has been completed, to fix
the value Of the property and franchises
OF each corporation at the same ratio to
actual value at which the property of
individuals and other corporations has
been appraised.
In other words, IL the average Of as
sessments made by the tax commits
sioner is at the rate Of 40 per cent of
actual value, the assessments of cor
porate property must be at 10 per cent
Of their appraised value. This does not
imply that the council should not be
able to reach a conclusion as to the
ratio until 1t has overhauled the assess
ments OF each and every parcel of real
estate and each and every item of per-
sonal property, but 1t means that 1t
shall take a general average Of the tax
commissioners assessment roll. As
Stunning that there are a great many in
stances of favoritism and undervalua-
ton, that fact alone does not warrant
the council in refusing to proceed with
its assessment of the properties Of the
franchised corporations. Such a read
justment would certainly be interim
nable and could not be completed during
the life of the present council.
It is even questionable whether the
council could reopen or revise assess
ments OF the undervalued properties
without specific complaint. This power,
1t would seem, was exhausted by it's
former adjournment. The order of the
hardly be constituted into an order to
reconsider the entire list of assessments
and to re-value properties that are as
sessed at less than 40 per cent of their
actual or market value. While this
would doubtless be just and desirable,
al attempt on the part Of the council
to reconsider it's former action would
be regarded as a deliberate evasion of
the order of the supreme court to pro-
coed expeditiously with the business in
hand, namely, with the assessment of
the franchised corporations, to be fol-
lowed by a tax levy that will be in pro-
portion to the estimated needs of the
city for the fiscal year.
Granted that great wrongs have been
perpetrated in the differentiation of
other taxable property than that Of the
franchised corporations, the remedy will
have to be sought through next years
assessment. Now that the franchised
corporations are vitality concerned In a
fair and impartial assessment of other
properties, they will see that the owner
of all taxable property shall be COM
PEELED to pay their just proportion of
the taxes. They can make a good be-
ginning with the county board this year,
but they cannot very we'll undo what
has already been consummated by the
city tax commissioner, the Board Of Re
view and their own action.
