Municipal Coal Yard
Controversy Aired at
Hearing in Lincoln

Lincoln, Neb., March 13.-(Spe-
cial)-Several Omaha coal dealers
and City Commissioner Dan Butler
Of Omaha appeared before the mu-
nicipal affairs committee Of the state
this afternoon to thresh out the mer-
its and dement's of an amendment
offered by the coal men to S. F.
los, known as the Omaha charter
bill, which would put the municipal
coal yard on a self-supporting basis,
limit deliveries to 500 pounds each,
and make it purely benevolent in
stitution. They claim that prices
quoted by the municipal yard do not
at present include the cost of de-
liveries or clerk hire or other expen-
SEES which the coal man is compelled
to carry in his prices.
Commissioner Butler said that the
coal yards had never yet cost the
city any money, though he admitted
that coal had been hauled in city
trucks and that clerks in pay of the
city had taken care of the coal yard
records. He also charged that
price combination existed among the
larger coal dealers of Omaha. This
statement was denied by the coal
dealers, who declared an itemized
statement. of the, coal business at the
city hall, which had been denied to
them would bear out their state
ment that they we're working at
disadvantage with the city yard, the
expense of which was largely taken
out of the taxpayers pockets.

KLOTz REPORTS
Financial Society Of Nations
Only Means to Balance Flu
ture Budgets, Says Min
lister of Finance.

Paris, March 13.--Louis Klotz,
minister of finance, began his eager
ly awaited speech in the chamber
of deputies today on the financial
situation by denying that he had
made the statement that France had
become richer since the war. From
the fiscal point OF view there had
been more resources created, the
minister conceded, but it would be
absurd to say that any country with
departments in such a condition as
the invaded departments of France
had become richer.
The yearly budget. M. Klotz an
nounced, would be three or four
times greater than beforevthe war,
the deficit to meet being 2l,750,000,-
600 francs, ($+350,000000).
War Expenditures S25,OOO,OOO,OOO.
M. Klotz gave some striking fig
ures Of war expenditures. He said
that more than 39,000,000,000 francs
was spent for artillery and ll,000.-
100000 francs for the pay OF troops,
The total expenditures of the min
istry of war were 1l9,000O00,000
francs, while the navy department
spent only 6O00,000,000 francs,
total of $2s,0O0000,000.
According to M. Klotz. it would
be relatively easy to meet the 10000
100000 franc deficit of 1919 by in
crease in indirect taxes, all income
tax, receipts from the liquidation of
war stocks and a revision of the law
governing the transportation of
troops over French railroads by
charging the allies for transporta-
ton of troops over French railroads
by charging the allies for transport
tation as the French are charged.
The railroad deficit, the minister
said, would be 4,000,000,0OO francs.
Concerning the tax on capital
proposition, M. Klotz said the
French capitalist taxpayer would
not be called to pay one cent of adj
ditional taxes until Germany's in
demnity figures to France were set
tied upon and guaranteed. But
even should Germany pay complete
ly for damages and the restoration
of the devastated provinces NJ.
Klotz said this would not balance
future budgets after 1919. The tax
on capital, the minister asserted.
was destined TO reach war prohteers.

This was the footnote. This and
nothing more!
There is a rumor that next to the
long waiting list Of prospective
members of the Athletic club, the
next longest waiting list is the wait
ing list of walters, waiting to be al
lowed to "wait" in the Athletic club.
It's because a charge of 10 cents
per plate is added for the waiter to
the bill for each meal served in the
club. In other Omaha clubs, no tip
ping is permitted. The Chamber Of
Commerce and the Omaha club
make up for this at Christmas time
by subscribing bonus for the wait
ers.
But according to the League of
Walters" the Omaha Athletic club
plan appeals to them better. It's
more definite and businesslike, add
ed to which there is no loss of tips
by waiting on women.
Which accounts for the presence
