ENJOINS THE WHEEL
TAX TEMPORARILY
Judge Leslie Decides in Favor
Of Ten Corporations Fight
ing Ordinance.
FINAL HEARING SOON

Judge Leslie OF the district court
has granted temporary injunction
in the case brought by ten Omaha
corporations against the city, Mayor
Dahlman, City Attorney Rine, City
Prosecutor Mcclure and Commits
sioner Parks, seeking to enjoin them
from enforcing any of the provisions
OF the wheel tax ordinance, which
should have gone into effect March I.
The Judges decision at the hearing
for temporary injunction now holds
the matter in statu quo until the court
decides whether it should be made
permanent. The hearing for per-
manent injunction will probably be
held in Judge Leslie's court within the
next two weeks.
At the time the petition was filed
by the corporations the court issued
a restraining order, which held until
the hearing for a temporary injunc-
ton.
Claim Tax is Null.
Counsel for the plaintiffs alleges
that the wheel tax ordinance, which
provides that each person, firm or
corporation owning or operating any
vehicle upon the streets of Omaha
annually register the same, a penalty
being specified for its violation, is null
and void and was attempted to be
passed without authority of law.
The following corporations are in

The United States cannot help be-

country's entry into It or from ex.
haustion. H. r. DeBower, vice presi-
dent and director OF the Alexander
Hamilton institute and lawyer and
business man Of national prominence.
told members Of the Rotary club at
the noon meeting and luncheon at
the Henshaw rathskellar.
Mr.. DeBower spoke on Americas
Business Opportunities and Respon-
sibilities.' He has been addressing
business mems organizations through
out the east and middle west. Sew
eral big jobbcrs and retailers of
Omaha had representatives at the
Rotary club meeting to hear Mr.. De-
Bower.
On Brink Of War.
The fact that the United States is
on the very brink OF war was pointed
out by the easterner, who declared
that obviously there was no way out
Of it unless Germany backed down.
He said that in the east the con-
sensus OF opinion is that the war will
terminate before the end of the year.
"The war has made the United
States an exporting country, instead
OF an importing one. But did you BUSH
ness men ever stop and think what
would happen II we were suddenly
plunged into the world struggled Do
you realize what effect it would have
on the industrial life of this country"
National legislation has not been
In accordance with the ideals of the
majority Of the big business men OF
the country, Mr.. DeBower asserted.
He declared that the Sherman act
should be repealed and another law
enacted in its place.
Big business men should be better
organized, he advocated. They
should organize, he said, for their own
good, regardless OF party lines.
He spoke in favor of the profit
sharing plans OF some of the big cor
porations, declaring that the laboring
men should be taken into confidence
by the business leaders--their en-
ployers.
Superintendent Clark of the State
Industrial school at Kearney was a
guest OF the club. He warned Omaha
business men to make provisions for
the lads when they come out Of the
school lest they go wrong again and
become menaces to society. He said
that 40 per cent of the school in
mates were Omaha boys.
Harley G. Moorhead acted as chair
man Of the meeting.

The Big Challenge.
Commissioner Lynch has been EN-

He declares he will appear before
the Southwest Improvement club
this evening to give his version OF
the squabble.

piled the sheriff when told Of the pro-
posed verbal battles. There is no
issue--if there is it's dead one-at
stake. The law fixes the allowance
for boarding prisoners. | don't see
how the commissioners can get
around that fact. The real issue in
this so-called squabble is vice and
law violation. I'll debate that with
Johnny Lynch any time"
At Lynch's instance, the county
board disallowed the sheriff's bill fol

coming out with the excuse that there
was no money in the general fund

PLEA FOR ULICENsED PRINTING
Milton Urged That Truth and Error
Re Allowed to CrappIc.

An English publication calls atten-
tion TO the fact that less than n hum
dred years ago an Englishman, Rich
ard Carlile, was sent to prison for
khree years for publishing Paine's
age OF Reason" Nowadays this
would hardly be considered an eX-
tremely radical book. Its author set
up many of the contentious regarding
the authorship of various books of the
Bible that are now accepted by per-
fectly respectable biblical scholars in
important theological semlnaries.
In the first half OF the nineteenth
century. however, Paine was every
whore denounced. So when this bold
young printer republished '"rhe Age
of Reason" the Society for the Sup
preston OF Vice brought proceedings
against him, which were approved by
The attorney general, and Carlila was
arrested and prosecuted before the
lord chief Justice
The account of his trial reads odd
~ today. The prisoner conducted his
own case and read the entire volume
to the court to prove that II did not
contain a single immoral passage. His
defense was a plea for religious toll
Grafton. But the Judge was uncon-
Vinccd. His charge to the jury brought
in verdict of guilty.
Sentence was pronounced In what
the Judge defined as "the pure temper
OF Christianity which our religion in
dicates," and Carlile was sent to three
years Imprisonment and assessed a
fine of $4,000. This outcome seems
| curiously medieval TO an age that
prides itself on religious liberation.
Yet so late as 1883 British editor was
imprisoned for violating what was
known rs the blasphemy act, and
there was long contest in the house
of commons over permitting Charles
Bradlaugh from taking his seat when
he asked to be permitted to make af-
firmation instead of to take the oath
of office. II was not until 1883 that
Bradlaugh obtained parliamentary
sanction for affirmation.

to realize that Milton was talking
