TAXATION ABROAD.

The people OF the United States,
those native-born. do not realize the
possibilities in the matter Of taxation.
There is some disposition to kick over
the levies, but evidently we don't know
when we are well Off. judging from
the way they raise the wind for gov
ernmental purposes over the ocean
In a recent number OF the Satur-
day Evening Post, r. Shackleton tells
OF the systems Of taxation prevailing
In France and Germany, either one of
which would cause an uproar in this
country:

twentieth century has passed airships
will succeed the railway passenger
trains Just as the steamboat the stage
coach.
Vast possibilities regarding the use
Of the airship in war also loom up. II
will be useless to build Dreadnoughts
II winged monsters are to navigate the
air and send the leviathans of the
deep to the bottom in the twinkling
OF an eye.
Instead of spending hundreds OF
millions Of dollars for warships to
pillow the waters Of the sea and guard
the coasts against attack by hostile
fleets. the great nations must now
turn their attention to creating squad
rons OF airships for the same purpose.
Ignatius Donnelly some time before
his death wrote a book entitled "Cae-
sar's Column" i'm which aerial war
ships played a conspicuous part. While
DonnelIy was drawing on his imag-
ination to point a moral and adOrn a
political tale, his description Of a bat
tie in which airships were used is now
entirely within the realm of proba-
bility.
BY all means Congress should sup
ply the signal corps OF the army with
the money needed for further expert
ments.

WOMEN TALLER: MEN SHORTER.

There IS an item going the rounds

that the kings are shorter in stature

II is also claimed that the men Of
the United States are being fashioned
after a shorter pattern as the years
roll on. and this would also seem to
be true Of the old countries II we take
the disparity IN size between the kings

nature supposed to appertain to their
sex. The following statement, printed
In one Of the college papers, raised a
storm Of Indignation:
Since we must keep Tree Day closed

OF the alumnae. should they be
allowed to bring their obstrep-
erous infants to distract their
own attention and mar the pleas
ure Of the undergraduate? II It
IS impossible for these young

Jack with Ruth or to discuss the
latest fad IN infants food or

lie RAISE CONTING.

As the result Of the influence eNer-
cised by the great banking interests Of
the country. the meat packers have
agreed TO the rate increases proposed
by the railroads and the wholesale
grocers. dry goods merchants and
other big interests are expected TO
follow suit
In consequence Of this announce
ment. trading in Wall street has picked
up and better prices are quoted for
stocks. The theory of wall street
is that the interstate commerce COM
mission will not raise any objections if
the big shippers can be held I'm check.
This view has been held quite gen
orally in the east for the past week or
two, even before the passage Of the
railroad law. and in discussing this
measure and the rate question, the
New York Globe and Commercial Ad-
vertiser says:
1t is true OF course that the present
enactment puts much more pow
er into the hands OF the inter
state commerce commission. But
the Hepburn law experience
seems quite pertinent to recall
because Of the precise analogy
between the predictions OF disas-
ter made then and now.

size IL that the commerce COM

cooler heads among the railway
managers saw IL ten days ago.
What is now chiefly wished for IS

DAHLMAN LEADS CONVENTION
He and His Followers Are in Full
Control.
NEwBRANcH IS LEFT on,
Although Hitchcock Wanted Hia
Man ON the Delegation, the Com
ventiOn Says Mayor Cap
itaI Removal.

Douglas county democrats met in. mass
convention in Parlor B of the Paxton hotel
this afternoon, at O'Clock. Originally the
meeting was to comprise only the members
OF the county central committee, but after
consideration, the Dahlman leaders put
their heads together and decided there was
no use making two bites of cherry. Hence
the committee meeting became a conven-
ton, and someone produced list of dele
gates. which went through without any
change.
During the last few days 1t had been
understood that Congressman Hitchcock
wanted county convention called for some
day next week AT first the Dahlman men
who are in control of the county committee
and the local organization, seemed agree
able to this proposal, but later reflection
convinced them there might be danger in
such a gathering. Hence the action of this
afternoon, which makes it certain the
Douglas county delegation win be for
Mayor Dahlman and against county local
option, from first to last-and let Hitchcock
do the best he can.
County Chairman John r. Reagan pre-
sided at tho Paxton meeting.
Mayor Dahlman headed the convention
with mis- following In full control Con
gresham Hitchcock was named on the del
egatlon. but Harvey Newbraneh was left
out II was understood that Hitchcock de
sired that Newbranch become member
but the Dahlman men would not consent.

law; declares for capitol removal; declare:

Ing office as contrary IN law
The delegation is instructed under th'
unit rule to vote and work against putting
the county local option plank in the state
platform. Mr. Bryans name was not men
toned and he was given no out-and-ou
endorsement
