ness and professional men, cover up,
most of their taxable property. The
intangible personal stock, bonds and
other securities escape taxation almost
entirely"
According to- Mr.. Hull, manufacture
ers have been in a, tariff partnership
with the government and have waxed
fat For more than half century
there has been a constant struggle by
the wealthy to shift the burden of tax
alton to the shoulders and backs of
those weaker. poorer and less influen-
tial citizens.
Statistics Of property valuations were.
given by Mr.. Hull to- show that wealth
is not being taxed and is not. bearing
its fair burden.
The census Investigation. 1904, In
New York reported that the city had
about $500 000, 900 of personality, and
the returns for taxation were about
$1.5OO. OO0;O0O
The Kentucky tax commission re-
ported in January. 1912, that the total
amount of bank deposits from which
the assessors were to make up their
taxation lists against the depositors
and taxpayers was about $4,000. 900.
The bank statement to the comptroller
for the same month placed these de-
posits at $133. 100000
The mayor Of Philadelphia recently
told the councils there that property In
that city had been underyalued more
than $3OO.OO0OO0. The census reports
in 1904 valued all real property at
$1O7 .OOOO00,0O0 The ad valorem as

value Of personality was placed at $44,-
OOO,O00.O0O 1t was assessed for taxa
ton purposes at $4,000. 100000
Hull charged that under the former
scheme of taxation the government. in
forcing the people to turn over for gov
eminent maintenance about S3OOOOO.-
600 annually. gave a bonus of about
81, 500, 100000 a year to selected indi-
viduals who were given special favors
by the high protective tariff tax.

Attendance at these games means
that thousands of men and boys and

over the athletic prowess Of profess

and the question is, What outlet do

OMAHA DENIES tale
OF RED CROSS HELP
Cyclone City Objects 70 Fake
Stories About Relief Given.

@Omaha.-Relief to the value of ST.
-25e,0oo HAS been received ior the beae-.
-fie of the sufferers from Omaha's big,
Easter cyclone. This sum includes
cost. supplies. labor, automobile and
hospital service, tornado insurance
and everything that was done for the
victims to help them
i The biggest single item on the list
is the 100000 in tornado insurance,
carried by the losers. Insurance COM
panies have been very liberal in their
adjustments of losses and many homes
In Omaha are now being rebuilt which
otherwise would have remained In
ruins.
The second largest item is that of
cash contributed from all sources.
This amounts to $4,000 and will un-
doubtedly reach the half million mark
before the fund is closed. This $780,
600 was raised almost entirely in Oma-
ha itself. Many donations were sent
In from Nebraska towns and the state
Of Nebraska contributed $4,000. New
York cfty's donations amounted to ST.
600. San Francisco, to which city
Omaha was the first in the Union to
send suceor after the earthquake and
fire, sent Omaha just IS.
This was an individual subscription
from the editor Of labor paper. On
the afternoon following the earth
quake Omaha started special train
OF supplies and provisions and a large
amount of cash to San Francisco.
The great american Red Cross So
ciety has not aided Omaha to the ex-
tent Of a single dollar. although Oma-
ha hears frequently of subscriptions
being handed to that institution for
the benefit of the tornado sufferers.
Omaha is not kicking against the Red
Cross for nonassfstance. but does OBJ

cially noteworthy were it's effects in
the treatment of cancer. giving hope
that new and permanent means of
fighting the disease had been found.
The use of radium in purely medical
cases Is something comparatively new.
1t was discovered that the emanations
from radium were enormously benef]-
c1al in the treatment Of chronic rheu.
matism, facial paralysis. neuralgia and
diseases of the joints. Persons who had
suffered from these ailments for years
found their one relief to come from
the strange element, and gradually u
method Of treatment has developed
from that discovery
BY this method the emanations from
radium are collected and held in solu-
ton in the air. A. compartment called
an "emanatorium'' is the cabinet in
which patients of the radinm treat.
ment must be placed to breathe in the
tons. An hour or more at time must
be spent In the emanatorium, and the
treatment continues for three weeks
The theory is that the radium rays,
which do not perish like light rays. but
are held in solution in the air, are
breathed into the lungs. There they
get into the blood and thus are carried
to every organ of the body. This is
what would happen If radium emana-
tons are an actual material substance
which can saturate the atmosphere. as
seems to be the case
At all events this treatment has been
practiced in Europe for two or three
years and has to it's credit, it is said, a
number of cures The substance IRA.
dium) is yet too much of mystery for
scientists to bank on what 1t will do or
whether it can repeat here what it has
apparently been doing in Europe. The
Johns Hopkins warns people not to put
too great confidence in the new method
until it has had a thorough trial here:
Climatic conditions differing from
those of Europe may affect the mani
festations of radium here.
One highly important feature in con-
necton with the Johns Hopkins under
taking is that the radium treatment
will not be high priced Rich and poor
alike will have entrance to the new de
partment.
This seems paradoxicaI when it is re
membered that a very small amount sf
radium is worth fortune One Amer.
lean physician has sent abroad for Il
small supply of it and is said to be pay
ing $4,000 for what is contained in a

dunn is almost imperishable. Giving

such an infinitesimal amount that It Is
