Help for the Helpless

indianapolis News: II will require
100000 a month for seven or eight
months to keep the Belgians from starv-
ing, but what's trifle like that to Mr..
Rockefeller?
Chicago Herald; The Rockefeller Foun-
daticn sends to sea today the largest
neutral ship In New York harbor loaded
with food for the starving Belgians. It
is able to give quickly. when so doing Is
giving twice. 1t has fully proved its
need, and that it's founder builded better
than he knew.
New York Times: Praise OF Mr.. Rookie
feller and his associates in this high en-
terprise is uncaIied for. and printed words
would be futile to express the sincere
and widespread satisfaction that the an
nouncement will cause. A neutral ma
tion, when a terrible war is rending many
other countries. can do no nobler work
than this.
New York World: These millions OF
will ali be needed. and more besides The
state OF the homeless Belgians speaks
first and most imperativeiy Ambassador
Page cables from London that he has
never known such a case OF need; many
will starve now before food can reach
thsm." Within three weeks 100000 wan
derers In that devastated land will face
death unless outside help comes.
Washington Star: The Rockefeller
Foundation is to act quickly TO send sup
plies I'm generous volume to the Belgian
sufferers. and the son Of the founder OF
the institution has announced that mill
liens OF dollars will be available. II nee
essary. to the end that the noncombat-
ants In the fighting zone may be relieved
OF their distress The American public
should literally contribute 10 this worthy
work of charity. This is a duty which
rises superior to any diplomatic consid-
erations OF neutrality and noninterventiOn.

The Suffrage Campaipn.

Whether they have lost or won. the women
who have been actively engaged in the suffrage
campaign in Nebraska. either for and against the
amendment deserve congratulations. II is only
fair 20 say that they have conducted their con-
test on a plane higher than the usual level of
mems political campaigns and have INDUCED in
few personalities. and resorted rarely to petti-
ness.
Whatever suffrage plans and programs may
be for the future the women on both sides have
acquitted themselves with credit They have
doubtless learned lot by this experience not
only about mems politics, but also about women's
politics. and II they will accept the result as
representing the present opinion OF Nebraska
voters. no one win have reason to regret the
time and effort spent to secure the popular YER

The Mortrnre - -


ALMA, Neb., Nov. 4-To the Editor OF
The Bee: On account OF the criticism Of
the Smith mortgage tax law from many
sources feel that in fairness and i,;stico
to this law. an explanation should be
made which win enable those not familiar
with it TO understand just what It is
This is one of the falrest and most Just
laws ever passed In Nebraska. both for
borrower and lender, in my opinion and
should be understood
Let US take an example. MIR. A owns
real estate property clear TO the value
OF say 5000, which IL taxable. Mr..
has sl.GD0 in money which is also tax
able. Now Mr.. A feels that IL he had
N'OO in money to stock and improve his
place II would enable him to increase
his income and the value of his prop
erty, and he is willing to pay a reason
able rate to get this amount Mr.. b
teels that his money is Idle, is an ex-
pense for taxes, and he would like to
invest 1t where II will be safe and bring
him some returns Now. Mr.. A says to
MIR. b: If you will let me have your
$1,000 in money I will pay the taxes on It
Tor you and will give you per cent on in
terest en- IL in addition for the use OF Il
and will secure you by a mortgage on
my property worth $1,000" Mr.. B re-
plies: Il will let you have 1t at s per
cent under those conditions II I had to
pay the taxes on il (or the mortgage)
would have to charge you per cent or
per cent, which. considering the rates
OF taxes. would be about the same as
you offer" does not pay taxes upon
but 5000 still because he is permitted by
the law TO deduct the amount of the NOR
tSage from the valuation Of his land
This law has enabled A to get this
money for from per cent to per cent
less ana there is no loss to the town
county or state in taxes This would have
tendency also to raise the salable
value OF the real estate property of Mr..
A. What is there unfit or unfair about Il?
Under the former law, every time
loan was made on real estate property,
there was double taxation to the amount
OF the loan which was unfair and un-
Just because no more actual taxable
value was created.
Our state supreme court has held that
a bank is the same as an individual and
has the same responsibilities and priv
heges. The court would not permit dis
elimination against the banks in favor
OF individuals under this law. The fact
that the banks have been saved this
burden of over taxation, or double tax
alton. To themselves has not lost the
municipality, town. county or state a
cent, as Will readily be seen by the ex-
ample OF A and b above. Editors and
legislatures who are clamOring for re-
peal of this law, or any amendment to
it, should take second thought

To vindioate Omaha's Good Name

Politics is politics, the election is over, and
no one has any desire to stir up dead issues.
But Omaha, as the unfortunate victim OF the re-
cent campaign. cannot afford, by remaining 81
lent 10 let the damage done to the city's good
name stand without offset.
Omaha must not let the people residing in
other parts OF the state rest under the impress
zion that ours lisa community where "gunmen"
and "gangsters" roam the streets unmolested;
that all our civic affairs are directed by a COM
bine OF greedy corporations and the under
world" or that life here is stepped in immoral
ity and vice to the extent that it is intolerable
for it is a matter Of indisputable fact that
Omaha will compare more than favorable with
other cities for good order cleanliness, law OBJ
servance and attractive living conditions
The cry that some one must clean up
omaha in order to make IT safe" for out-of-town
people to send their wives here to shop, or their
children to attend school, is worse than gratui-
tous. because they can 60 to no other city with
greater safety or where they will be exposed to
fewer pitfalls. Political demogogues and their
newspaper organs who spread this sort OF talk
broadcast do Omaha an incalulable injury.
II has been suggested that the Commercial
club send out another trade excursion to set
Omaha right, but the season is not auspicious for
our business men getting away at this time.
Something should be done, however. by way OF
antidote to impress 1t upon the people adversely
influenced that these onslaughts we're for pollt-
cal purposes only. and are built upon no substan-
tial foundation. Let us and ALL while not
abating in the slightest our endeavors to make
our city constantly better, Join hands in a con-
certed effort to stop this Misrepresentation, and
to focus attention on omaha's good points and
on its many superior virtues

Fruit Trees In tSc Parks.
OMAHA. Nov. 5-To the Editor Of The
Bee: We have many acres Of land in
this city given over TO beautiful public
parks, wherein the hundreds OF tired,
worn people may spend hours Of happy
recreation and rest on Sundays and holi-
days. II ls essential to the physical well
fare Of q community that we have such
shady oasis In q busy busting, con-
gested c!ts-.
No matter what kind of tree you
plant, II requires more or less care TO
make it pleasing sight to the eye.
Many parts OF our parks are seldom
visited by the public. People as a whoie
seek company and as a result, they are
found within the center Of these fine
public places. This means that the trees
on the outskirts of a PARK are not OF
much use or benefit except for orna-
mentation
Now, would suggest that the points
least visited be given over to fruit trees
fr tohe free use OF the public. Let any
body come and pick as much as they can
eat or Use. We ali need 1t, because it
Is healthful.
Our parks would then become doubly
valuable to the public. both as a place
OF recreation and a place of health.
