The list of personal property ASSESS
ments in excess of $1,000, taken from
the city tax books for 1903, printed in
this issue of The Bee, ought to make
instructive reading for every person
interested In Omaha, whether he CON
tributes directly to the support Of the
city government as a property owner
or only indirectly as a resident. That
the assessment is by no means perfect
Will he readily admitted, but that It is
a better approxim alton of equity in
taxation than has ever before been
secured in the assessment of personal
property subject to city taxes can be
readily proved. 1t is the best evi-
dence of the progress Omaha has made
In the direction of tax reform and at
the same time the best evidence that
much more is yet to be done to equalize
fairly the burdens of government in
proportion to property values. We
commend every one of our readers to
the careful perusal Of this list, pre-
pared for them by The Bee with no
little trouble and expense.

FABRfcATNG JUSTIFICATION.

Every leglslHIlNe DOuys ndtlOudl,
state or municipal, may be divided into
three classes, namely, men who are
rlgidly honest and cannot be tampered
with or approached by bribe givers;
men who are defantly dishonest and
boldly do crooked work in the open,
and men who are only willing to go
wrong If they can cover their tracks by
trumplng up n plausible excuse or hid
ing behind some subterfuge.
TO this general rule the Nebraska
legislature is no exception. A very
large proportion, If not majority, of
it's membership is honest and will not
be swerved from the straight and mar
row path A considerable fraction
will defantly disregard public interest,
party pledges and Individual promises
made before election. A very consid-
cradle number are willing to be Sc
duced providing they can find a reason
able excuse for the betrayal of the peo-
pie. Upon this latter class of men,
bers the corporation lobby always
ldNlSueS lJS unOSl SthciOuS COuitcSiSS
and gifts For this class of receptive
lawmakers the corporation cappers are
always ready to fabricate justihcations
for going wrong.
The paramount issue that confronts
the Nebraska legislature is revenue
law revision. Public sentiment is
aroused as II has never been before to
the monstrous wrongs inflicted upon
the taxpayers of this state by the un-
LIBERALIZATION of railroad property and
its virtual exemption from the burdens
of local taxation. At no time in the
history of Nebraska has there been
such uniformity of sentiment in favor
Of wiping from the statute books every
vestige of law by which the burdens of
taxation are shifted from the railroad
corporations upon the shoulders of the
the state and in favor of laws that will
enforce compliance with the letter and
spirit of the constitution, which re-
quires "every person or corporation to
Dul u ldA plOBOANAOh W hASs hNi Vi
it's property and franchises"
The paramount effort of the railroad
lobby and the railroad tax agents and
lawyers just now is to fabricate justin
cations for members of the legislature
who are susceptible to promises, gifts
and bribes, but not courageous to do
wrong in the open. With this end in
view the state is being flooded with
misleading circulars concerning rail
road taxation and bunco figures about
the pretended distribution of the values
at railroad terminals to the interior of
the state, although no man can point
out where a single dollar has ever been
distributed between the Missouri river
and the Wyoming and Colorado bound
airy or between the Kansas line and
the Dakotas.
Within the next few days the legis
lature will be bombahded by petitions
emanating from railroad tax agents and
letters inspired by railroad attorneys
and circulated in their respective neigh
borhoods by railroad benehciaries from
rebates and other valuable favOrs. Il
is confidently expected that after thi'
bombardment of ready-made justifica
tions the spinal columns of member
who are predisposed to go wrong viii
be stiffened sufficiently TO enable then
to brazen out the infamy that will here
after attach to them for selling out tn,
people.

All Kinds OF Safeguards to Protect D.
Beers Diamonds.
For the safekeeping of the gems ii
the De Beers company's office at Kim
berley, South Africa, there is g
strong-room, or vault, built of very
thick concrete walls, which are fire
and burglar proof. The door of the
vault is secured by several bank
locks OF the latest and best design
The keys fitting these locks are kept
by several officers in the secretary's
department of the company, who must
all be present at the opening and
closing OF the strong-room. Inside
the strong-room are burglar proof
safes, with doors also secured by sew.
eral locks, which can be opened only
by two or more persons having sep.
arate keys. In addition to these
safeguards the strong-room is pro-
tected by the application of an cleo.
trlc'alarm system. Two armed guards
are on duty at the Offices at night and
connections are made by which they
can signal for help should an attempt
be made to break into the building,
Even If both men should be overpow.
cred before they could give a signal
no robbery could be effected; fo1
whenever they should cease to send
testsigna1 reports at regular inter
walls an armed force would soon ar
rive on the ground and Illustrate any
attempted burglary.

Why Many Youno. Men Fail

1t is the fault and the cause of the
failure of so many bright, capable
young men that, being put into a Ger.
tain workday rut, they make no effort
to climb or even crawl out of it: thew
do not seek the work that is not ro,,.
tine and go beyond the terms of the
bond In search of additional labor in
order to attract the approving notice
of their employers. They do not &c
to their posts before nor remain at
them after the fixed hour. They are
content to do enough, and no, more
than enough, to earn their hire. The
life of the average clerk is generally
genteel, easy, clearly; he need no,
soil his hands nor his clothes, and his
ambition is satisfied with these pleas
ant conditions.

and should therefore be reinforced by
something rich in these materials. AS
previously stated, wheat is ordinarily
too expensive to feed. The by-prod-
ucts OF wheat, however, bran and
shorts. are available at reasonable
prices They are not only priced
but furnish to the animal just what
corn lacks. While the three coatings
Of the kernel constitute but per cent,
the gluten layer per. cent and 4 per
cent, and the germ per cent OF the
entire kernel, from rs per cent to 40
per cent of the kernel is removed in
milling as ,by-products. For fattening
animals, shorts is too rich in protein,
while corr is too deficient to give the
best returns. The two together, how
ever, make strong combination. The
results OF a single experiment con-
Quoted by Professor Henry of Wiscon-
sin several years ago will substantiate
chs statement. In feeding three lots
OF pigs, one on corn meal, another on
'mlddlings, and third on equal parts
OF each, one hundred pounds of gain
was produced from SGT pounds of corn
by the hogs of lot I, 522 pounds of
mlddlings by lot 2, and but 439 pounds
OF the mixture Of both corn and mid
dl1ngs. A given weight Of the mixture
therefore produced near 20 per cent
more gain than the same weight of
either alone. Bran is the food par
excellence for sheep and cattle, not
only because it supplies protein and
mineral matter, but also because when
mixed with corn meal it so lightens
the heavy grain ration as to make it
more readily acted upon by the d.
gest1ve juices and more easily moved
forward through the stomachs and in
testines. It acts as mild laxative and
thus keeps a heavy grain fed animal
in; thrifty condition. Every boy on
the farm knows the value of a hot
bran mash for the sick COW or horse.
II these by-products of wheat were
mixed with corn in fair proportion, it
would hardly seem necessary to pur-
chase continental stock foods at high
prices.
