Nebraska Tax Levy for 1916.

certain facts.
According to the summary of appropriations
as exhibited by State Auditor Smith, the legisla-
ture Of 1915 set aside $8,8s6,S87.44, as against
$8.l43,038.8s appropriated by the legislature of
1918, an increase Of $7l3,S48.so, and new record
for expenditures in Nebraska.
The total amount to be raised by direct taxa
ton under the 1915 levy was $3,277, l3008; under
the established levy for 1916 the total amount to
be raised will be $30s7, lo497 decrease of $2lo-

Absolute Fiction" Says Governor Cappsr.
Topeka, Kan. Aug. ls.-To the Editor OF
The Bee: In your issue Of August ii you
published an advertisement by the Nebraska
Prosperity league. reprinting what was pur-
ported to be an interview with me In the
St. Louis st-Dispatch. This 10 absolute
fiction. have made no such statements to
the St. Louis Post-Dispatch or anyone else.
Since this state closed its doors to the
liquor business a never-endinR campaign OF
falsehood has been conducted by the liquor
interests Of eastern states. With scarcely
an exception not one truthful assertion has
been published by the whisky dealers about
the situation in this state. The wonder in
my mind has always been what strange sort
Of mentality 10 responsible for this particular
kind of mendacity. have marveled at the
assurance which has lead the liquor inter-
ests to suppose that their vicious nhisrepre-
sensations would not be discovered untrue.
So palpably false have been their charges
as to the operation Of the prohibitory law
in Kansas that the liquor dealers publicity
has proved q boomerang in almost every
state where they have conducted that kind
Of q campaign.
I write you at this time to advise you
that the advertisement Of the Nebraska
Prosperity league has absolutely no founda-
ton so far as am concerned.

Labor and the New Wealth"

Defenders of the Wilson administration now
set up that labor has had its full share Of the new
wealth" created by the democrats in the last four
years. Labor has had its full share of what the
democrats in power have brought about, but it
hasst taken on the form of new wealth" In
December OF 1918, following the Seattle conven-
ton Of the American Federation OF Labor, Samuel
Gompers addressed circular letter to all labor
organizations, urging them not to submit to re-
duction in wages as a means for bridging over the
severe industrial depression. then gathering force.
In November. 1914, the labor leaders in New York
ascrbed the defeat of Martin Glynn candidate for
governor, and Samuel Gompers, candidate-at-large
for the constitutional convention, on the demo-
cratic ticket to the fact that the unemployed laid
their condition at the door Of the Wilson ad-
ministration
New York City never entertained so many
unemployed as during those two winters Church
es were raidcd by homeless men, seeking shelter
from the storm; Jeff" Davis, liking OF the no.
boes," opened his famous Hotel de Gink," where
thousands Of wanderers we're cared for. The state
law was invoked to prevent the employment Of
alien laborers on public work, in order that the
natives might have a chance to earn something
to live on. Philadelphia, Chicago, Omaha, every
center Of industry in the country felt the pressure,
and none Of them have forgotten it With 1915
came flood Of war orders, and enterprise re-
sumed, but labor was forced to strike to gain any
share in the new wealth" being created. No year
Of recent history had witnessed so many strikes as
were recorded in 1915 but 1916 has exceeded the
record. II labor has had any advantage in the
imitation OF prices following the war BOOM II
hasn't yet been detected outside the White House
circles.
The Monumental impudence Of the democrats
in claiming to have brought prosperity to the
workers surpasses even their pretensions to econ
omy and business efficiency in administering the
affairs OF the government.

A Word for the pusky Waiter.

St. Mary, Neb. Aug. 1e.-To the Editor

as follows:

Lincoln, Aug. 19.-To the Editor Of The
Bee: In view Of the criticism Of the actions
Of the Banking board in regard to the
guaranty funds Of a liquidated bank, permit
me to state my position. As regard It. the
only question in the renewal Of the business
Of the bank. Is the personnel Of the new
stockholders and the old, their financial re-
sponsibility. the possibilities Of success.
and Of this the Banking board was thor
oughly convinced.
In no way can I see where the guaranty
fund has been deprived Of one legitimate
dollar. rs far as this bank 10 concerned.
The local newspaper critics speak Of Mr..
Mullen In this transaction. but fail to speak
of John J.. Sullivan. former chief justice Of
the supreme court. who the stockholders had
employed also to appear before the Banking
board. It Is impossible for the Banking
board to direct who they shall hire. or
whether It Is necessary to employ anyone,
any more than It is possible for me to pre-
vent attorneys who are in my office nearly
every day looking over matters pertaining
to men who are serving time in the peni-
tertiary. bank charters, insurance matters.
tax matters. or any other business.
II would be much easier for me, and, I
presume. for the other members Of the
board to grant charters to everyone who
applied. The refusal to grant charters makes
enemies, the granting Of them hakes friends.
My actions have been conscientious, and II
the court should interpret the law that all
should have charters who apply. would be
very glad to comply with their decision.
However, have felt that the weak place

aged bank. 10 claimed one Of the weak places,
and yet the badly managed bsnk Is some
times conducted In q way so the Banking
board can hardly prevent Il doing business.
They study the law. and comply with the
requirements Of the guaranty fund law. and
then do so many things outside of it that
there Is a question as to their good business.
The state Of Oklahoma has had consider

understand that many hundreds Of thousands
Of dollars Of obligations are unpaid. My
only desire Is to avoid the same conditions
that exist In Oklahoma.
