Local Option In Nebraska.
NEBRASKA State Journall


Up on Cat creek there is much spec
ulation and some anxiety as to what
the legislature will do in the matter
of county option, but knowing ones
know that nothing will be done. a
majority Of the membership being OPP
posed to it. County option-or pro-
hibition---is great question. with two
sides to it. the one being moral and
the other personal In the end the
moral side must inevitably win, just
as it always has since the dawn OF
existence, when such a fight was
fought to a finish. The finish in Ne
braska may be some years hence, but
it will come along just Hike pay day.
In the meantime there should be no
bad blood or embittered friendships
over the matter. LET the people rule"
Advocates and opponents of the move
ment should go along calmly in their
work of education, for in this only can
they hope to win, and the ones who
put up the best brand of enlighten-
ment will get the decision when the
flag falls and the wire is crossed Adj
vocates should practice the same char
fty and forbearance they would in
spreading any other sort of gospel,
and opponents should bear in mind
that worse defeats have been endured
than defeat In such a battle.

There are two ways out of 1t. Either

When Congressman Willet roars at

Mr.. Willet reminds of remark made
years ago by Frederic Douglas to a
small boy over in Illinois who shook
hands with the noted negro and said.
"Mr. Douglas have read all about

great difference between being notori-

THE INHERITANCE TAX BILL,

Bills taxing inheritances have been
which provide a / per cent tax on in
heritances of $4,000 and an additional
/ per cent for each additional $4,000
until the limit of 5 per cent Is reached
The proposed legislative change to a
direct Inheritance tax is not new
measure. having been before the sem
ate last session.
The bill as introduced into the senate
by Giliiland exelnpts real estate; that
offered the house by Lee makes no such
exemptions. 1t is difficult to understand
why any exemption of this kind should
be made or even why 1t should sug-
gest itself to a Legislator. An inherit
ance is an inheritance whether in lands
or personal property. If not in cash 1t
could not come in more valuable
form than in Iowa real estate.
Just why the merchant, the con-
tractor the banker who finds his best
investment in securities and the vari-
Gus Accommodations of successful besi-
ness men should pay an inheritance
tax while the heavy landowners heirs
enjoy exemption from the levy is not
apparent There is no reason why men
who have accumulated fortune should
be headed toward real estate invest
ments at the colse of their careers. The
manufacturer is quite as much entitled
to exemption as the farmer or the spec
ulator in lands.
The fact Is there should be no ex-
emptions No tax comes easier, or car
ries less discomfort than an Inheritance
tax. It takes nothing away from the
one who earned 1t and only asks the in
heritor for small fraction of fortune
he never earned. Theg,state is entitled
to q share of the fortune it has pro-
tected and some return for the oppor-'
tunities the state has afforded toward
its accumulation.

HAnDBILLs VS.. the NEWSPAPERS.

One OF the relics of the past which
still survives is the handful The an
cient crier with his bell and vociferous
announcement has gone the way of al
flesh, his bell is silent and his voice
stilled The handful still survives
Survives is the word, it remains, ex-
lists, hangs on. 1t does not live in the
advertising line. Just keeps on stay
Ing until the inevitable arrives.
1T is old. antiquated. belonging to a
past century Like the town crier 1t
modern day methods what Daniel
Webster's chaise would be to the au-
tomobile: what Ben Franklin's postal
service would be to the present marvel
of mail distributions; what a Nanny
reaper would be to modern harvest
ing machine or q corn knife to a corn
binder.
The trouble with the handful is the
trouble 1T requires to get 1T into the
hands where it belongs and the recep-
ton 1t meets after 1t gets there. 1t
costs three to six times what a news
paer ad does and has not one-sixth
Of the newspaper ads force and much
less than one-sixth the newspapers
circulation. 1t lies neglected and des-
pissed on the front porch while the
newspaper passes from hand to hand
thru the family circle; the pup worries
it unchided about the yard At best
some one lights a fire with it. No one
pays it any respect. And 1t cost money
to print and boys service to carry or
spoiled postage stamp.
Everyone looks in the newspaper to
see what the leaders Of merchandising
are Offering The newspaper is the bar
gain directory. 1t is the natural place
to locate the goods we are going down
town after tomorrow. A handful is
simply a piece of paper which may be
something but which is so generally
nothing. that none give 1t actual at
tention.
The handful lacks caste. 1t Is a
tramp. 1t belongs at the back door
begging for handouts while the news
paper enters jauntily in front, an hon
ored guest and friend Of the family.

LESSON FROM OREGON.

While we are lamenting over the
Oregon situation, where republican
state voted in primary to send a DEM
ocratic senator to Washington and
where a republican legislature after
much poWwowing and against great
pressure from the inside and the OUT
side did its duty and carried out the
expressed will of the voters, it might
be well to draw such useful knowledge
and conclusions as we may from the
inpbroglio Of the western state.
Perhaps the Oregon primary method
needs fixing: If SO, it is an excellent
bit of information, for all states are
certainly coming to primary and all
are soon to submit to the
dictum of the primary.
However, it is well also to study
the reasons for the success Of a demo-
crat in republican state or the cleo
ton Of a republican like Hadley in a
democratic state like. Missouri. These
= e r.
cataclysms do not come by chance
but are the effects Of certain causes.
Why not look for the causes!
Is it possible that the senate Of the
United States, controlled by a repub-
lican majority which has permitted It
self to be dominated and whipped here
and there by men among the most dis
trusted in public life, had anything to
do with the vote that so embarrassed
the republican legislature Of Oregon?
Can 1t be possible that the theft of
timber lands and the general footing
Of the public domain, of which Oregon
has had a personal experience not cal
culated to awaken confidence and breed
ate, Influenced the vote of which we
complain? Let's inquire into these and
other plain possibilities while the sack
cloth scratches and the ashes smart.
Perhaps the law is not the seat Of the
manifestation that may lead US to dis
covery.
Missouri Is democratic. How came
the mysterious stranger to become an
honored guest of a democratic state?
Had the years of unrestrained demo
cratic boodling, the bitter opposition to
state laws offered by democratic cities,
the defiance Of interests politically in
trenched in the democratic party, to
the will of the voters, anything to dc
with the welcome given a political
stranger in a politically strange land
Why did democratic Missouri go "hell
bent" for Roosevelt?
Perhaps the Oregon law needs revis-
ion, but it is not the part of wisdom
to adapt primary and election laws to
the success of particular parties. That
way lies knavery in political office,

whv He Would Do His Duty.

Walter C. Goodson, an attorney Of
Macon, Mo, attended circuit court at
Oskaloosa, Ia, one day this week, and
noticed some interesting features which
differed from the Missouri practice.
ION the day Of opening of court the
judge lines up the petit jury and asks
if there are any members who want to
be excused" said Mr. Goodson. "The
day was there every man with one ac-
cord began to excuse himself. One said
he had just purchased a. farm and that
he had to start his hands fixing 1t up.
Another said he was a candy salesman
and that his house would fire him II

graft and fraud. We have had con-
siderable experience along the latter
lines. Perhaps 1t would be best to 'let
the people get at them" At any rate
it is always best to keep power as close
to the masses as possible. Best of all
let us as citizens and voters inquire
into reasons for political earthquakes.
Their causes lie deeper than primary
laws.

Poultry Notes.

Never compel a hen to lay in a nest
that is filthy. 1T is thing the hen de-
tests above all things.
Keep the hens out Of the deep snow
They will get chilled ID you do not, and
chilled hens mean fewer eggs.
Get some bone for your hens some
way. If you can't do anything bet
ter, take bone and hew the scraps
off with hatchet. l have seen mon
do that; but look out for your fingers
if you try it.
Count no eggs until you &c!
them. Some folks do not have hard
work to do that in winter; but we
are more and more learning the secret
of making the hens lay at this season
Of the year. When we get that mas
tered we win tackle perpetual motion
