0MAHANS BACK OF
NEW BOXING BILL
Law Permitting Ten Round
Scraps to Be Presented
to Legislature.
WAS TURNED DOWN BEFORE

That Nebraska will soon have
state boxing law similar to Wiscon-
sin, New York, Minnesota and other
states is the belief of local box fight
enthusiasts who intend to draft such
law and present it to the legislature
when that body meets.
An effort was made to put box
ing law through the last legislature,
but the bill was defeated. The COM
plexion of the new legislature, how
ever, has led the Omaha fans to be-
lieve that the bill would be passed
this time. Gene Melady was sponsor
for the bill previously introduced to
the state dads and he may put his
shoulder to the wheel again.
The bill the Omaha fight fans in
tend to present to the legislature
would provide for ten-round, node
cision boxing matches such as are held
in Wisconsin, New York and Mime
sofa. 1t provides for state boxing
commission, which will possess I'M
limited and irrevocable Jurisdiction
over all bouts. A percentage of the
receipts will go to the state through
this commission. The law covers
practically everything connected with
bout and any violation by fighter or
club is punishable by suspension.
The local men expect to start a
campaign to put the bill over within
week or so. They have been wait
ing to see what kind of a legislature
would be elected to serve Nebraska
and they are now confident that a
legislature which will be friendly to-
ward the bill has been placed in
power.

BRANDEIS ARE TOO
FAST FOR LEAGUE
Basket Ball CUNTS Aver Isaac
sons Grew Is Too Swift
for Tri- City League.
ToWNsENDs NOT TO ENTER

Basket ball managers arc up against
it this year. After lining up their
favorite fippers and getting every
thing ready to start off in a ship shape
manner they find that after all they
might not all take part in the sea-
sons activities, And this is the
reason:
For some time the Brandeis Stores
quintet, under the managership OF
Jake1saacson, has been collecting the
fastest bunch of basket ball passcrs
in the city. Among the list are Virgil
Rector Of Dartmouth, Leslie Burken-
road, Bob Koran, Ernie Adams and
Warren Richie. Other prospective
members Of the Tri-City league point
out that they would have no show
against such stellar aggregation and
rather than play second fiddle feel that
it would be to their interests not to
enter the league. They would much
rather have the Brandeis stay out, but
to that Jake Isaacson has given a
very strong negative. "Why should
we stay out" Jake says. "They have
the same opportunity of collecting a
bunch of stars and if they don't do so
it's their own lookout. We intend to
go into the league And, anyway,
lsaacson points out, that instead of
lowering the standards of the organi-
cation. his team will set such high
mark that the other quintets will have
something to shoot at.
Townsends Drop Out.
| AS consequence OF the agitation
the Townsend Gun team, managed by
Walter Gartncr, will not enter the
league and several other fves have
decided to do likewise. Just how the
matter will be threshed out will be
decided at the basket ball meeting to
be held at the Young Mems Christian
association Tuesday evening.
Coach Mills of Creighton has def
nitely decided not L enter his team in
the Tri-City league regardless of
whether the Brandeis are members or
not. The blue and white mentor has
lined up all the college contests his
Hippers can handle and he does not
propose to let them take on more
work.
Harmony in Other Loops.
While there is considerable agita-
tion in the old Tri-City league, all is
harmony in the Commercial and
Church, Ttcams OF both organiza-
tons have been getting in weekly
workouts at the Wy" and are ready to
jump into the fray att the first honk OF
the referees whistlel
What is expected Ito work for the
benefit OF the two GLASS B organiza-
tons is the fact that more floor space
has been added. ln addition to the
Young Mems Christian association
courts of both Omaha and Council
Bluffs and the University of Omaha
floor, the Woodmen Of the World hall
in the South Side has been secured
and is now being marked off.
All persons interested in joining any
Of the three leagues are invited to be
present at the big basket ball meeting
to be held in the physical directors
room Of the Young Mems Christian
association Tuesday evening at 7:30.

the unborn will have thrust up- on them burdens which they had no say nor vote in fixing. You talk about taxation without re- presentation. What would you call a proposition of this kind? This world, in all probabilities, will roll on for many centuries, and in view of this fact, as we hand the affairs of the state and nation over to them as free and unhampered as we possibly can.
 Since 1 have been in the gov ernor's office have had q pretty rough and rugged road to travel. Any man will have unless he permits little coterie of people to throw chain around his neck and lead him up to the al tar of sacrifice. This 1 have de- cIined to do and will as long as 1 am in the Governor office.
 The mothers, wives, daughters and men have been working, pleading. and praying for years for statewide prohibition, Many people of the state have clamourcd for this jaw. During my administration l have given it to you l trust that you will use 1t to advantage of the entire citizenship of the state. pre- vented from becoming law the infamous race horse gambling bill. l have been criticised a great deal in many ways. Was criticised on account of vetoing this bill. l did what thought was right. It has been charged that l hesitated. That is true. am glad that l did, A man who cannot afford to hesitate about the grave and important affairs of life should not be en- trusted to public duty. While l was criticised for the method adopted, that does not amount to anything so the results were obtained. The method makes no difference. You haven't got it. Would those who have scriticised me have vetoed the bill? If so would that have achieved any more for the people than l did and, if not, while they criticise me, why do they not state they would have approved it? This would have placed them in bet ter attitude.
 am in favor of better schools. believe in an educated citizen ship. believe in those things which will enlighten our people and give them a better concep- ton of life, but at this time l am bitterly opposed to the proposed amendment to the Constitution, which provides for an increase of the school tax from seven to twelve mills. 1 have the great est admiration and sympathy for the school teachers. They are doing a great work in trying to teach and train the children for citizens, but while that is true, l have the greatest sympathy for the one and three quarters mil lion more people who are called upon to pay tHa taxes.

the purpose of waging a cam paign tc secure the adoption of this amendment? 1 say no. 1t has been only few months ago since the Teachers Association not the taxpayers association of the state pledged to one man l One Thousand Dollars to go out and campaign for the adoption of this amendment. Can you , find where the taxpayers Of the state have pledged one penny to- wards the expenses of any man to advocate its adoption? Let me give you little history right here. In 1914 just before the petitions for this amendment were being circulated call was made from some department in ] Little Rock for meeting of the school directors of the state. This had never been heard ot before and they succeeded In getting a few of the directors from some of the districts and this proposed amendment was promulgated. That was the last of the meeting of the School Dl- rectors of the State until just be- fore the State Democratic Con- ventiOn convened in Little Rock in 1916 and then another meet ing was called and a few dlrec- tors came again. Out of the thousands of directors in the state, one small room would have accommodated all who were pres ent. This meeting was called for the purpose ot inducing q few men composing the platform committee of the Democratic Convention to recommend the adoption of the proposed amend ment. The school taxes paid by the people of the state amounts to approximately five million dol. lars annually, and in addition tC this, out of the general revenue fund, the University, the State Normal and the four agriculture schools are maintaining, making total of approximately six mil lion dollars a year contributed tC school purposes. If you adopt the proposed amendment, this will amount to an additional bur den upon the people of two anC one quarter million dollars an. nually on a valuation assessmeni of four hundred and fifty million dollars. This burden the people are unable to bear.
 1 have letters now in my office from the sheritfs and tax col !ectors of nearly every county ir the state asking me to extend the time for the payment ot taxes.
 This request has come from over one half of the collectors of the state every year since l have been in the Governors office, which shows the condition of the taxpayers. During the General Assembly a bill was introduced and it was urged that the time ! for paylng taxes should be chang 1 ed. Members of the legislature m discussing the matter With me stated that their constituents had gone through the winter season of the year deprived of shoes and proper clothing for themselves and family and that they were unable to pay their taxes, and then to think of plac. ing an additional burden of tive and one-quarter million dollars per year upon those who are al ready steeped because of the bur, dens of taxation, simply to grat IifV the few who WOuld he bpnp.
