WELCOMES The
TAX DODGERS
NEBRASKA TO BID FOR THE
READY CASH.
The State Will Become the Grand
Refuge of Rich Men Who Desire to
Evade Paying Taxes on Their For
tunes, II This Bill Passes.

Omaha, March 19.--If a law that
has been introduced In the Nebraska
legislature becomes operative, Ne
braska win soon become the grand
refuge of rich men who want to dodge
their taxes. This act creates a board
Of immigration, which provides for a
board of commerce, industry and inn
migration, the intent of which is plain
on its face, the idea being to offer to
men of wealth from the outside world
who have large sums of money in
bank an opportunity to bring it to Ne
braska, place it in banks for safety,
and not be in fear of paying a large
tax on 1t. In fact, under the provi-
sions of this law there will be no tax
whatever, although 1t is not put in
just that way. Any man can come to
Nebraska and declare himself a citi-
zen, become a secretary on the adj
visory board Of the board of immigra-
tion, and upon being appointed his
compensation will be equal to the
amount of taxes he may pay on his
deposits in banks, and will be paid
to him promptly upon his presentation
of his tax receipts. He may secure
the benefit and protection of this law
when he enters the state and declares
his residence, although such declara-
tion does not make him a voter until
he has lived in Nebraska for at least
six months. The bill is strongly sup
ported by industrial and commercial
bodies of the state, who argue that
New Jersey has invited the trusts,
that Texas has passed bountiful ex-
emption laws, and that South Dakota
has bid for the divorce business, and
why should not Nebraska secure the

WELL KNOWN EDUCATOR TAKES
FLING AT RESEARCH.
Prof. Nation NJ. Curtis Says That
PhilanthrOpists Should Give Some
of Their Wealth for Agricultural
Experiments.

Cleveland, March 19.-"The world
has enough of research for the pres
ent. The agrarian class deserves more
notice in the gifts of philanthropists,
said Prof. Nation NJ. Curtis of West
ern Reserve university in discussing
how to spend most advantageously
the s10O00,00O recently given to phil
anthropy by Mrs. Russell Sage.
I'VE have more literature on the
subject than we know what to do
with. Practical philanthropy, the kind
which provides bread and butter for
the needy and teaches the unfortun-
ate how to find life more practical,
should come from this gift. We have
too many highly paid investigators
already.
Farmers Forgotten.
Many forget in this age OF great
cities that one-half the population of
the country consists of farmers. The
Importance of this class is greater
than it's numerical proportion. 1t con-
stitutes the hope and sinew OF the
country.
What are we going to do with our
farmers? We hear OF strikes of city
laborers and the lettering OF their
condition. But the farming class, 50,-
100000 strong, never go on a strike
It's hardships are far greater than
those OF the city laborers. Turn a
good portion of this fund toward agri-
cultural research"
