Stock Food and the Bill
For State License Fee.

OMAHA. Feb. 1s.-To the Editor OF
The Bee The news dispatch from Lin
coin in this mornings Bee, Stock Food
Interests Object TO Regulation Is evil
IDENTIFY an inspired ono, and the remark
attributed 10 Senator Robertson. that
for IS cents. they could make enough of
the stuff to sell for 50 or g." indicated
the caIIber OF the man end how little tho
advocates of the bill really know about
their pet measure. and about the trade
affected.
omitting consideration OF the senators
estimate. which Is too ridiculous for at
tention, desire 20 say that the bill is
not stock food bill but bin embracing
widely any and every stock remedy.
IL imposes upon each retailer in the
state a tax Of SIS per annum on each
stock medicine handled by him. II does
not matter II he sells only $40 worth Of
the remedy in year. II doesn't affect
the situation II the remedy Is a good one
or bad one. He IL expected to pay the
s& just the same. II Is not a bill TO
project the farmer or stockman against
inferior products. The most inferior stuff
has as good standing as the very best.
1t IL simply a measure for revenue ana
revenue measures cannot be enforced II
unreasonable or confiscatosy.
Kansas had g similar law some years
ago. except that IL was even worse. i'm
posing tax OF $50 on each preparation.
Our 500 deaIera In Kansas were con-
stanfly harrassed and threatened with
arrest unless they paid the tax or quit
handling our products. We applied for
and secured an Injunction In federal
court restraining the state from enforcing
the collection OF the tax or further mo
Testing our dealers.
In Ohio, similar law was declared un-
constitutional more recently. Legiaia-
lures can tax the people Of their own
state about as they please. but when II
comes to applying the tax to goods that
come from other states. the federal courts
have several words to say.
have nothing against the proposed
measure except that It goes nowhere and
means nothing, being OF no benefit to
anyone except source OF revenue to
the state food bureau from a few Ne
braska manufacturers. who have TO stand
the brunt while outside manufacturers
send in their goods free of tax. You can't
enforce a tax on retailer Of more than
his annual sales OF the article taxed
amounts to. but II means lot OF trouble
and annoyance. and many dealers simply
quit handling such lines OF goods rather
than take the chance OF prosecution,
That hurts every legitimate manufacturer
while Il benefits the peddler and the mail
order house, Yours truly,
GEORGE H. LEE.

Suffering Due to Unemployment Re
duced by Increased Building
Operations.

Unemployment conditions in the Dis
trict have been alleviated within the past
few weeks. according to persons in touch
with the problem. Small repair work on
many houses, resulting from clear and
mild weather and the approach of spring,
has furnished means of support to scores
Of joblcss craftsmen.
Another important factor in lettering
conditions for the unemployed has been
the stimulating of interest among en-
ployers and persons having odd jobs
to be done from campaigns conducted by
various organizations.
The Chamber Of Commerce has
been waiting to see the result OF
President Wilson's recommendation
that employment exchanges be oper-
throughout the country. before it
takes further definite action" declared
p. T. Moran, president. yesterday. The
situation here has been relieved by
the action of the District Commission
ers in putting building contracts on
the markets
THE interest manifested by The Wash
ington Herald also has played big part
in lettering the situation. The Herald
has given fine publicity to the work OF
organizations working in Behalf of the
jobless. and has stimulated interest in
men who could furnish jobs 1t has done
splendid work.
The number of patrons of lodging
houses and missions also has decreased
since the passing of severe weather.
Superintendent kline. Of Gospel Mission
declared congestion at the mission had
cleared away and that fewer men were
applying for work.

SENATORS NAMED
ON DISTRICT BODY
Chiffon, Salisbury, and Works
Will Investigate Financial
Relations.
SPEAKER. STILL PUZZLED
House Personnel Not Settled. Though
Page. Of North Carolina. and Davis.
of Minnesota. May Serve.

Shortly after President Wilson had
signed the District bill yesterday, Vice
President Marshall announced the names
of Senators Chiffon. salisbury and Works
as the Senate members Of the joint COM
mittee instructed under the bill to in
vestigate the financial relationship be
tween the District and the Fedora! gov
eminent.
The naming of Senators Works and
Salisbury had been forecast In The
Herald. Speaker Clark said last night
that he desired further time to consider
before naming the House members of the
joint committee.
Page May Serve.
As has been stated in these columns
before. Representatives Davis. Repub-
lican. of Minnesota. and Page. Demo-
crat. of North Carolina, are strong
probabilities. though by no means GER
tainnH. Although he does not de-
sire to serve. Represe native Page. In
view of the dificulty the Speaker is
experiencing in obtaining a desirable
committee, will serve if placed on the
committee rather. than leave the place
open for one in whom neither side
would have great confidence.
The Senate selections were regarded
a.. happy on the House side yester-
day. Senator Works. the Republican
member. is the better known of the
three. largely because of his activity
i'm the District and in behalf Of public
health. He is an independent. thinks
carefully. anS goes into job thor
oughly when once he takes II up. He
has shown during his service on the
District Committee an almost enthusi-
astic interest in the District. both in
the administration and enactment of
its laws and the Identification of its
appearance. He Is a strong believer In
handsome and imposing national
capital
Salisbury PrOGressive Democrat.
Senator Salisbury. Democrat. another
member of the District Committee. is
serving his second year in the Senate.
He has been little in the limelight, but
has commanded respect from both sides
of the chamber in questions in which he
has shown an interest. He is progress
sive Democrat. is known for his broad
minded view of partisan and public
questions and is real worker.
Il am sure every member of the Sem
ate committee approaches this subject
with an open mind and with desire 20
learn" declared Senator salisbury las:
night.
II hope we will be able to settle the
question satisfactorily and to improve
conditions here"
Senator Chiffon, of West Virginia, the
other Democrat. has not played a par
ticularIy prominent part in the Senate.
He is a man OF means. acquired largely
through his own efforts, and will bring
to the investigating committee a knowl-
edge OF affairs which should make him
valuable members.
Pending the appointment Of the House
members, no plans for organization and
operation will be discussed. 1t is ex-
pected the Speaker will announce the
House members today.
