State University Finances.

Lincoln, March ITO the Editor
of The Bee: l listened to the debate
Wednesday in the house of represent
atives and it is surprising to note how
many representatives confessed their
ignorance on the financing of the uni
versity.' If these men would do right
by their constituents they would re-
frain from voting on matters they
know nothing about. l believe in a
big university for Nebraska, but On
the other hand l believe that all de-
partments should be held to ii strict
accounting in the expenditure of funds,
and if it were so the people would not
oppose the granting Of money for the
university.
To understand the financing of the
university one should study the report
issued by the board of regents. First,
the classification sheet, and then the
detailed information given in the re-
port: for instance, the accredited
schools given on the classification
sheet is S9,027.31. The detailed infor-
nation in the statement amounts to

spot where the pain is-rub it on
briskly-and usually the pain is gone.
No muss, no bother. Just comfort
ing, soothing relief-frst a gentle
glow, then delightful sense of cool

Taxing Industry flinders Development.

taxing Industry f1nuerS DcNeiopHieht'
Omaha, March 9.-To the Editor Of
| The Bee: Some of these days the peo-
pie will reject, as unworthy of their
| intelligent suffrage. any man who would
| introduce or vote for any ordinance
| placing additional burdens of taxa
| ton upon industry. While the ten
dency all over the country in progress
sive municipalities is to relieve in
| dustry Of taxation, we have the spec
tacle of the city council of Omaha
| placing a wheel tax upon vehicles
| Just another means of taxing indi-
rectly the people of the city and add
ing that much hindrance to our own
| development.
No Intelligent person nowadays be-
| lieves for one instant that a tax upon
business mans wagons or goods Is
| going to be paid by that man. There
\ is an infallible economic law that
enables him to shift it to other Shout
ders. This he always does. If he
| did not he would not remain in bust
fess.
Then, too, such taxes are always in
favor of monopoly. Strange as it may
seem, those who have the greater
number of wagons will object the least
to such taxes. This for the reason
| that smaller expressmen, for instance,
| with only one or two wagons, are to
| some extent eliminated. The larger
concerns therefore, tend all the more
| to augment themselves, and the shift
ing of the tax to the consumers be-
| comes easier. Not only, however, is
the tax shifted, but by the elimination
of competition the price of the serv-
| ice Is increased.
In short, the more you tax any form
of industry the fewer will be the num-
Der engaged in that industry. The
smaller the number engaged in the
| business the more certain is the OPP
portunity for unfair prices of service.
Some day our people will see these
simple truths. Then the statesman
ship of those who support such taxes
| will appear contemplate.

Faces defeat full patiently,
And lifts mirthful roundelay,
However poor his fortunes be-
He will not fail in any quam

Who bides his time.
Who bides his le-he tastes the sweet

And Tough he faces with slowest feet.
Joy runs to meet him drawing near,
The birds are heralds of his cause,
And, like a never-ending rhyme,
The roadsides bloom in his applause ..
Who bides his time.
Who bides his time, and favors not
In the hot rae that none achieves,
Shall wear cool-wreathed laurel wrong hit
With crimson berries in the leaves
And he shall reign a goodiy king.
And sway his hand DER every cline
With peace writ on his signet-ring,

Dangers at Home as Well as Abroad.

Chicago, March 5.-To the Editor
of The Bee: Let US remember that
during period in which we have
lost 200 lives at sea incident to the
war, we have had 10000 citizens muir
dered in this country, some of them
this last year being burned at the
stake. Since this war began, we have
lost a half million more citizens from
death by preventable causes than Ger
many has lost by this war. Let this
appalling fact be learned by heart.
Let us also remember that the SAT-
est Job any man has had since We
became q republic was to fight for
eign foe. In our three foreign wars
all of which We began, we lost by
foreign bullets fewer than $4,000 men
in all of them combined.
To be fireman, policeman, miner,
sailor. bridge builder or worker on
a skyscraper has been a far more
dangerous job than to protect Amer
leans from foreign bullets.
Compulsory military training to
meet foreign foe is the poorest
preparation we can make to meet
the real dangers that now menace US.

Edward. So, when he came to them
on few days visit, they prepared to
do all they could do to make good
impression, and commenced by meet

On the way home in trolley car to
a Boston suburb they encouraged their
only child, also named Edward, to
sit on the old gentlemans knee, or.
as he was stout, as much of it as was
available.
Presently the small boy slipped from
his perch and sided over to his
mother.
II don't think / want to sit on
uncle's knee any more" he said, in
his clear treble voice.
"oh, Teddy. why?" said mother in
shocked tones.
Teddy eyed his great-unele ag-
grievedly.

How to keep all the industries and

tract of the Iowa Farming Tool com
pany were to expire today. every one
of the 1872 men employed in their
shops would find instant employ
ment, since there is such a great de
mand for help at present. And not
only the farm ers are In need Of men
but the PRISONS own camps and
farms are urgently calling for add
tional help. The Flynn farm at Give
and the camp at Woodward state
hospital have work for more men.
The present population of the
prison is 572. the lowest since Aug.
ust, 1914, when 1t dropped down to
57o. 1t is very likely that, within
the next two months, about fifty men
will be released by the various pro-
cesses. and there will probably not
be many new prisoners received be-
