Prompt in Relief Work.
Just as soon as the enormity of the
disaster was understood by the citizens
hero relief fund was started. Within
an hour thousands of dollars had been
contributed. Many of the city's wealthiest
men were back of the movement. Pubic
buildings were thrown open as place of
refuge for the sufferers. Inc coniIho-
dious rooms of the Commercial Clu0 were
among those thus utilized

Cuts Path Through City.
The stretch of Omaha covered by the
tornado reaches from the southern limits
10 the suburb of Florence. six miles north
OF the point of origin. The storm swept
the western part of the city for its entire
length, following the west side of the
valley, extending along the Missouri
river bluffs. The eastern half of the
city-generally composing the business
section-was out of the path of the
storm. but suffered greatly.
The section damaged is the residen-
tial portion Of the city number of
outlying business thoroughfares also
are in the destroyed area.
The greater part of the damage was
done west OF oith street. north and
south cross-town street, extending the
entire length of the city. Numerous
streets with retail stores are in this Sec
ton, with the residence portion of the
city scattered in intervening sections.
Homes Left in kuins.
Many OF the best parks of the city also
are located within the district covered.
Hanson Park. situated near where the
STORM originated. was greatly damaged
and Bemis Park, one of the show resi-
dencs districts Of the city. was struck
with sufficient force to practically wreck
most of the homes within its limits.
That the situation was grave is indicat-
ed by the action OF Mayor Dahlman in se-
curing the aid of government troops and
the state militia Fort Crook is five
miles south of Omaha and was out of the
path of the worst part of the storm
One part of the area covered by the
storm is that located between Cunning

the north. and from oath street on the
east TO 50th street on the west. This Is

Matters Other Than Tariff to
Be Taken Up if the Pres
ident Wishes.
INCOME TAX SCHEDULE
PROBLEM FOR LEADERS
Effort Likely to Be Made to Have
Currency Reform Legislation
Enacted.

The belief that other matters than the
tariff will be taken up at the coming spe-
c1al session of Congress is growing
stronger daily. and with 1t the convic-
tion that Congress will be in Washington
through the summer.
Democratic leaders said today that il
President Wilson should send a message
to Congress recommending that other
needed legislation be enacted, Congress
undoubtedly would get to work on these
matters. 1t is generally believed at pres
ent that effort will be made to bring
about legislation for currency reform.
The date at which Congress will get
through with the tariff legislation has
been set variously by democratic leaders.
Mr.. Underwood, chairman Of the House
ways and means committee, has said
that the tariff would be disposed of in
the House by May I and in the Senate
by July l. Senator Simmons, chairman
of the finance committee of the Senate.
has hazarded the opinion that August 1
would see the wind-up of tariff legisla-
ton.

Details Under Way.

Detailed plans for the participation
in the crusade of the government de-
partments mentioned have not been
completed, but this is one of the mat
ters that will be given early atten-
tion.
The clean city committee, which the
Commissioners have officially recog
nized as the body that will supervise
the city-wide sanitary propaganda, is
the outgrowth of the cleanup crusade
conducted last spring under the aus
pices of The Star
This body is authorized by the procla-
nation to hold it's meetings in the
District building. as was done last
year. 1t will convene probably early
next week and map out the city for
the purposes Of the campaign. Each
citizens association is to be asked to
supervise the cleanup work in the
territory which it represents.
Already, responses from the civic Or
ganiZations which have been asked to
participate in the undertaking are be-
ing received George Ell. Bright of 1906

Views Of Speaker Clark.

Speaker Clark has expressed the opin-
ion that if only tariff is taken up Con-
gress will get through it's labors by the
middle Of August.
IF the President should send in a mes
sags recommending action on other i'm
portant matters than the tariff" said the
Speaker, Il have no sort of doubt that
Congress would take up these matters. A
good many members of the House want
to go right into general legislation. A
good many other members believe that
the extra session should be confined to
the tariff. In the three special sessions
called to revise the tariff in which have
served the work was confined largely to
the tariff. barring such routine matters
as naturally come up"
Income Tax Big Problem.
The income tax is the big problem with
which the House ways and means COM
mitee is wrestling now. The committee
majority is working with a dummy per-
centage rate, and the final decision will
depend largely upon the estimated reve-
nues from the tariff schedules Three
points are being given particular consid-
Grafton, the amount of income exemQ-
tions, the rate of tax, including question
of graduation or straight tax, and cOllec-
tiOn
The Wilson act Of 1898, the last demo-
cratic tariff, made $1,000 as the minimum
taxable income, which some of tfse re-
visionists argue today is really equal to
5000 or 5000 under present living cost
conditions. Some House leaders, while
preferring a straight tax at the outset
and to have the system develop gradually,
would not oppose a conservative form of
graduation. Others favor a graduated
tax, increasing heavily on large incomes
May Change big Stick" Policy.
The maximum and minimum provision
of the tariff bill. it is said, probably will
be changed, perhaps with reversing OF
the so-called "big stick policy by max
ing the conventional or regular tariff
rates the maximum to meet discriminat-
Ing conditions in any foreign country.
The Cuban reciprocity treaty of De-
cember Ii, 1902, allowing 20 per cent re-
duction on imports from Cuba from the
regular tariff rates. probably will be
maintained by a reiteration Of the decla-
ration that nothing in the new tariff shall
he construed to abrogate the treaty. Some
substantial changes in the Philippine
tariff are likely.

Extends to Other Cities.

Cleanup campaigns. it is expected, will
be conducted in a number of cities this
year Preparations for crusade of this
character are being made in Philadel
phia- Washington was one of the first
cities to institute war on flies, as the
result of the swat the fly contest con-
Quoted under the direction of The Star
two years ago. Scores of municipalities
throughout the country since have waged
war on their fly populations.
The Stars cleanup campaign OF last
April attract national attention and it
is assured that other American cities will
endeavor to improve their sanitary con-
ditions by similar methods this season.
