Omaha, March 27.-To the Editor
of The Bee: An item appears in The
Bees Letter Box Of March %, under
the caption of Burden Of Taxation" !"
coming from the ever fluent pen of
Single Tax Quinby, in which he
criticizes the county assessor for obey
ing the laws and rules laid down by
the State Board of Equalization for
his guidance.
Mr.. Quinby was once member of
the state legislature add as such state
officer and law maker, one would have
thought he would beNfamiliar with
that part of the revenue laws of the
state, which instructs county asses
sors as to how to arrive at values of
merchant and manufacturer, by de-
manding of such merchant or manu-
facturer an inspection of inventories
and all books of account for the pre-
ceeding year including the annual in
voice and inventory Of stock of such
merchant or manufacturer last pre-
ceding such assessment, and the poll
cies of insurance carried by such mer-
chant or manufacturer. %4L-' -.

even absorb the outstanding treasury bills
and other temporary obligations.
While these figures make it evident that
the imperial debt of Germany has not yet
reached the sum of LA, 1000, 100000 marks, it is
evident that it has already passed the limit
of 100000 100000 marks which Herr Rudolph
Haverstein, president of the Reichsbank,
thought was all that Germany could stand,
and which he was sure would never be
reached If this figure be compared with the
modest debt Of ST ,250,000,000 which Germany
owed before the war, some measure of the
financial burden Imposed upon the empire
can be gained.
The total budget of the imperial German
government in 19l3-19l4 was $830,000, 600;
the interest on the existing debt is already
900000,000, and the next loan will bring it
up to $1,0O0000000 annually, or more than
all the peace and military expenditures before
the war.

Two Kicks on Haze.

Omaha, March 27.-To the Editor
Of The Bee: ] must admire the un-
mitigated effrontery of Commissioner
Kugel in recommending the rein
statement of HI. P. Haze on the police
force. Everyone, at all familiar with
the resignation Of this man Haze,
knows that the resignation was. not
voluntary one, and he resigned as
deputy sheriff under John Mcdonald
for the same reason. sA-.5 ,..' Ia.
And now forsooth he has only five
years more to serve until he is
eligible for pension. He has always
been a barnacle on the state polite,
and after five years, he will become a
perpetual burden on the future po-
licemen of Omaha. JUSTITIA.
Omaha, March 27-To the Editor
of The Bee: Haze on the department
and why? He tried to do this same
stunt with the police commissioner,
but they turned him down and did

As these loans have been made with
eclock-like regularity every September and
March since the war began, it is evident that
an eighth loan must soon be foated. AS the
loans are now 50,000000O00 marks ($l2, ,s00,-
000,000) less than the war expenditures, there
must be an immense floating indebtedness
which will have to be funded. Cash on hand
at the beginning OF the war, together with
additional sums raised since by war taxes,
cannot have amounted to more than 4,O00,-
100000 marks, ($l,0000O0000l, leaving be-

Smith and Community Centers.

Omaha, March 26.-To the Editor
of The Bee: l am amazed at the ig-
norance displayed by Ed p. Smith,
the candidate for mayor on the out
ticket.
Mr. Smith, in one of his campaign
ads, announces that if he is elected he
will favor the establishment Of COM
munity centers for winter recreation.
If Mr.. Smith is the student of civic
affairs that his friends would have us
believe, he should knew-that at the
present time community centers are
being conducted in many parts of the
city. The newspapers from time to
time have carried announcements of
the various activities of the COM
munity centers, and only week ago
The Bee carried a series of photo
graphs showing a number Of groups
enjoying themselves at the centers.
For the benefit of this authority on
civic affairs, will inform him of the
community centers, as l now under<
stand them from personal experience.
/ myself attend regularly the pro-
grams, lectures, concerts, etc, con-
Quoted once week at the community
center in my neighborhood. 1 also
attend the improvement club which
was started by the community center,
My wife is a member of the Red
Cross class which meets once week
in the community center, and also
reaps the benefits of the wdmen's
athletic class, which is also conducted
one night a week. My Oldest son
speaks Of nothing at the present time
but the community center gym class,
and the big athletic meet in which he,
with other members of his gym class,
is going to participate this week. My
daughter has taken part in two plays
staged by the dramatic class of our
community center, and her girl chum,
who lives in another part Of the city,
sings in the chorus Of her community
center. 81
Perhaps it would be we'll for our
friend Mr.. Smith to get around and
learn what is going in this city be-
fore he attempts to pose as an expert
on civic affairs.
"HOTSHOT" MURPHY

The following table shows these votes:
An 1lth vote of $1,000 100000 marks was

An 18th vote of 1s,OO0OOO,OOO marks was
granted the other day, bringing the total up
to 'l24,0OO00O,000 marks. This refers not to
the debt, but to the expenditures. Inasmuch
as some OF the xpenditures-though not
many--haye been met out OF taxation, it is
obvious, that we shall have to establish the
amount of the war debt in some other way.
Fortunately, we have one other set of
figures, which; while not quite so unimpeach-
able as those just quoted, are sufficiently
trustworthy. These are the loans made by
the imperial government. Down to October
last the public war loans-seven in number
had amounted to 73,36l 100000 marks ($lS,-
