Badly Battered Trio Makes
Appearance In Police Court

A trio of brushed, beaten, scathed
but friendly beings appeared in po-
lice court yesterday morning to
answer charges of drunkenness
and disturbing of the peace. They
were arrested Monday night
in room in the Midland
hotel. Edward Brandt, 4ll6
South Sixteenth street, live stock
man, displayed one open eye sur
rounded with ugly cuts and bruises
about his face. He was fined $40
and costs. Guy Buckles, pugilist,
scarcely showed evidence of bruises,
He was discharged. Bill Mckenzie,
stockman, showed marks of having
stopped water pitcher or switch
engine with his face. He drew a
fine of $40 and costs. John German,
insurance man, l122 South Six
teenth street, was also arrested
with the others. He forfeited bonds.

be drawn. take it for granted that
its mainstays will nceforth be the
income tax. the excess profits AK,
and the estate tax. All these can be
so adjusted to yield constant and
adequate returns and yet not consti-
tute a too grevious burden on the
taxpayers.
A revision of the income tax has
already been provided for by the act
of 1918, but | think you will find that
further changes can be made to ad-
vantage, both in the rates of tax and
the method of its collection. The
excess profits tax should not long be
maintained at the rates which we're
necessary while the enormous ex-
penses of the war had to be borne;
but it should be made the basis Of
permanent system which will reach
undue profits without discouraging
the enterprise and activity of our
business men. The tax on inherit
ances ought, no doubt, to be recon-
sidered in its relation to the fiscal
systems of the several states, but il
certainly ought to remain a perlna-
nent part of the fiscal system of the
federal government also.
Repeal Minor Taxes.
Many of the minor taxes provided
i'll the revenue legislation of 1917
and 1918 though no doubt made nee
essary by the pressing necessities
of war time could hardly find suffi-
Gent justification under the easier
circumstances of peace and can now
happily be got rid Of. Among these,
i hope you will agree, are the ex-
cises upon various manufacturers
and the taxes upon retail sales. They
are unequal in the incidence on diff
ferent industries and on different in
dividuals. Their collection is diff
cult and expensive Those which
are levied upon articles sold at re-
tail are largely evaded by the read
justment of retail prices.
On the other hand, | should as
sumo that it is expedient to main
tain considerable range of indirect
taxes; and the fact that alcoholic
liquors will presently no longer at
ford a source of revenue by taxation
makes it the more necessary that
the field should be carefully re-
studied in order that equivalent
sources of revenue may be found
which it will be legitimate and not
burdensome to draw upon. But you
have at hand in the Treasury depart
ment many experts who can adj

IRISH WIFE OF

When Mrs. Helen Felepakis, Irish
wife of. John Felepakis. Greek
learned that her husband was ii
Omaha looking FOR her, she framed
the arrest OF Phillip Christina
Italian, who had brought her here
five weeks ago from Chicago.
When Detectives Jensen and
Franks attempted to arrest Christina
at l4l5 Williams street Tuesday
the enraged Italian made a vain
snatch at butcher knife on a table
then leaped on bed to grab a
loaded gun.
Handouts were put on him. Mrs
Felepakis was booked as complain
ing witness. She telephoned police
to come and arrest Christina when
she learned her husband was in the
city.
Both were turned over to federal
authorities.

Urges Woman Suffrage.

Will you permit me, turning from
these matters, to speak once more
and very earnestly of the proposed
amendment to the constitution
which would extend the suffrage to
women and which passed the house
of representatives at the last ses-
sion of the congress? 1t seems to
me that every consideration of JUS
tice and of public advantage calls for
the immediate adoption of that
amendment and its submission forth
with to the legislatures of the sew
eral states.
Throughout the world this long
delayed extension of the suffrage is
looked for: in the United States
longer, l believe, than anywhere
else. the necessity for it and the i'm
mensc advantage of it to the nation
al life, has been urged and debated
by women and men who saw the
need for it aad urged the policy of it
when it required steadfast courage
to be so much beforehand with the
common conviction; and I. for one,
covet for our country the distinction
of being among the first to act in a
great reform.

Return Wire Lines.


The telegraph and telephone lines
will, of course, be returhed to their
owners so soon as the retranster
can be effected without administra-
tive confusion so soon, that is. as
the change can be made with least
possible inconvenience to the pub
lie and to the owners themselves.
| The railroads will be handed over
to their owners at the end of the
calendar year; if I were in imme-
date contact with the administra-
tive questions which must govern
the retransfer of the telegraph and
telephone lines l could name the
exact date for their return also.
Until | am in direct contact with
the practical questions involved |
can only suggest that in the case OF
the telegraphs and telephones as in
the case of the railways, it is clearly
desirable in the public interest that
some legislation should be consider
ed which may tend to make of these
Indispensable instrumentalties of
our modern life uniform and Co
ordinated system which will afford
those who use them as complete and
certain means of communication
with all parts of the country as has
so long been afforded by the postal
system of the government and at
rates as uniform and intellible. Ex-
pert advice is, of course, available in
this very practical matter, and the
public interest is manifest.
