"What Il the Record?"

Our democratic brethren are lashing them
selves into a froth again over the record" of
the present congress. Taking its cue from the
Springfield Republican, the World-Herald de-
votes some space to generalization, but does
not make = specific charge of neglect. The
Massachusetts, paper does say: "The senate's
finance committee has virtually stopped func-
toning, for its chairman, Mr.. Penrose, has an
nounced that everything of any account in re-
construction is postponed until 1921" This is
very serious charge, and the weight of its
responsibility ought to rest squarely where it
belongs on the president and his party.
When the last revenue bill was pending be-
fore the democratic congress year ago, it was
purposely extended to include the tax levy for
1920, with view to carrying out democratic
plans and to prevent any possible amendment
by republican congress. The unwisdom of
the course was obvious, but Mr.. Wilson did
not propose to allow any interference with his
program. He had asked for a congress that
would obey him in all things, and the people
had declined to give it to him; therefore he had
recourse to the expedient of tying the hands of
the Sixty-sxth congress by forcing submits
sive body to anticipate the country's needs
through extending the revenue bill year
beyond its life.
Efforts to amend this law has been blocked
by direct notice from the White House that ex-
ecutive approval will be withheld from any such
measures. Under the circumstances the senate
finance committee has a choice between enact
ing laws that are threatened in advance with
veto, and waiting until the democratic plumbers
expire with the passage of time.
Other matters are delayed by the presence
Of treaty the president has sought to drive
through the senate, against opposition from his
own party associates. His persistence in de-
manding that it be accepted as he presented it,
obstinately refusing to accept the judgment Of
the senate on any of its points locates the
reason for the blockade on the treaty
As far as reconstruction" work is con-
cerned, the present congress is going ahead
safely, not doing lot of things that will prob
ably have to be undone later on.

MEAT AND FOOD SUPPLY.

Part w of the Federal Trade commissions
report on its inquiry into the activity of the
meat packers comes to the root of the whole
trouble. Citing the fact that the packers al
ready handle more than 200 foods unrelated to
the meat packing industry, many OF them d.
rectly competitive as meat substitutes" the re-
port goes on:
The extent to which the packer should be
permitted to enter unrelated food lines is a
matter which the public interest alone should
determine.
Two questions, primarily economic, are in
volved:
Does this widening of activity result in ad-
ditional economies Of production and dis
tributon?
Does it result and will it continue to result
to the public in lower prices and better quail
ity of product and service?
These questions are fundamental Monopoly
in food supply is not yet admitted as possible
Control is established. Meat packers are not
the only, nor the greater, offenders. More COM
pact and easily operated bodies control certain
foods and send prices up or down at will, and
in their turn may perhaps receive some atten-
ton, although at this moment the public pa
tiently bears with the exactions.
1t is elementary that widening of activity"
Will result IN aQQ1tlOnal economies OF prOQuc-
ton and distribution" but it is also fairly we'll
established that point is finally reached where
to further widen the circle means increased ex-
pense. 1t is not easy to determine just where
this point is, but proper business management
will determine it.
That the public should share in the
economies made possible by permitted and
legitimate combinations also is elemental. What
should be aimed at by the Trade commission, and
seemingly has been entirely missed by it in its
onslaught against the packers is to adjust mat
tiers so as to avoid oppressive monopoly with
out checking legitimate expansion of business.
Competition between the wholesale grocers and
the meat packers is still possible and it may
be doubted if public interests will be greatly
served if the trade in foods were to be divided
by any arbitrary line and dealers be required to
keep on one side or the other of it.
What is more to the point is the undeniable
fact that considerable portion of the present
excessive cost of food is ascribable TO undue and
improper manipulation OF markets, and not all
of this fault may be laid at the door of the meat
packers.

! Good Lt.1,,g Il, America

According to the figures Of the Bureau Of
Internal Revenue, just made public, 3:47z,1W
persons filed income tax returns tor the cal
endar year 1917, for . net income OF $685.
383207, which is an average income above ex-
emptons Of $500 each. All but few of these
were heads OF families, and as there are some
100000 families in the United States, this
of this country have an income large enough
to exceed the minimum exemption OF $!UoO,
while the great majority Of them exceeded the
maximum exemption Of $1,000 for being the
head Of family, plus further exemptions tor
minor children.
What other country In the world has 20 per
cent OF its population in, the enjoyment OF such
! substantial support? This 10 admittedly the
most wealthy nation in the world. but it has
the hands Of small number Of persons. That
allegation Is negatived by the above figures.
In European countries the exemption from tax
alton is far below the amount in this country.
Only those are taxed here who earn enough on
which to live comfortably, and the tax is small
on the amounts that but slightly exceed exemp-
ton. Therefore, the above figures represent a
general scale OF living far above that of other
countries. This fact has been at the foundation
Of the tariff policy of the United States. It is
. condition that must be continued, which our
people all desire to be continued. But it can
not be continued unless we produce more in
proportion than other nations not having the
same high scale of living surround ourselves
with tariff wall higher than has ever before

Railroads and the People

To good many persons in this country the
railroad problem seems 4 matter remote from
them. As matter of fact il touches the whole
body of our people very seriously.
The savings banks and insurance companies
have invested to the extent of billions of dol
lars in railroad stocks and bonds. Their secur-
ity depends to large degree upon the security
of the roads. The minute blow is aimed at
railroad prosperity it is aimed At the banks and
the insurance companies, and 20 It the millions
Under the modern system Of intertwined In
dustry and interest, no great business can suf-
fer without every other being affected. This
is particularly true Of the railroads, the banks
and the insurance interests. Let any doubter
examine the bank commissioner's current re-
port in any state. He will find long list Of
railroad securities among the holdings Of the
saving institutions. If he has never thought of
the matter before he will be deeply impressed
with the intimate connection between the well
fare of the transportation companies and that
of the humblest depositors of his own COM

Fire Prevention Day.

Governor McKelvie has designated Novem-
Der specially ~ fire prevention day for Ne
braska. He recommends that heating apparatus
Of ali kind be carefully inspected, that rubbish
accumulation Be removed and premises placed
In safe condition. AZ on many other occasions,
The Bee eommsnds this course, with the sug-
gestion that it be followed 36S days = year. Ne
braska's annual contribution to the great Amer
lean bonfire is impressive. Moreover, just as is
the main show, it is monument to our care
lessness. We complain bitterly Of the waste
of war, but pay scant attention to the waste of
peace. Annually we allow hundreds of millions
Of dollars to vanish in smoke and fame for
want Of little watchfulness. Wealth destroyed
in this manner 10 lost. It may be replaced by
other wealth. but the value 10 subtracted from
the sum total Of human achievement. Expert
ence shows that almost 90 per cent Of the fires
that destroy property in the United States start
from preventable causes. Many costly blazes
result from criminal ineendiarism, but most
arise from careless lack of reasonable precau-
tons, amounting almost to crime. Property
owners are to blame for this Fire prevention
day should remind them of their remissness and
lead to an every day application Of the simple
rule of Safety first"

CHAPTER vi.
The Fun Bubbles Dance.

=
GsITA, HA HA! He. he, he! Ho,
Ill no, ho!" shrieked Penelope,
the girl from the tower. the laughs
popping from ner lips like lot of
firecrackers going off in punches. 1t
was as If all the laughs stored up in
the IS years when she hadn't had
any fun or play were trying to get
out at once.
Peggy, who had been anxious a
few moments before to start Pene-
lope laughing, now tried to stop
her.
Don't! DON'T" Peggy cried.
You'll laugh yourself sick" But
Penelope just laughed and laughed,
while the birds and animals, forget
ting their fun, gathered around to
watch her.
Hold her! Don't let her laugh
that way" shouted Billy Belgium,
climbing out Of the mudhole where
Balky Sam had pitched him. He
ran to help Peggy stop the fit of
nirth, but when Penelope saw his
mud-streaked face and his mud
covered clothes she let out louder
shrek Of laughter and gurgled and
giggled and gasped until the tears
streamed down her cheeks.
Billy didn't like to be laughed at
Jaw, quit it," he said disgustedly,
and at that he plunged into the river
to wash off the mud. But even this
didn't stop Penelope, and she
laughed and laughed until Reddy
Woodpecker suddenly began to tap
sharply on an old tin pail, making
noise much like the ticking Of an
old-fashioned clock.
"Your hour is ticking away" cried
Peggy to Penelope, and the warn
ing had instant effect. Penelope
stopped laughing, but her eyes,
which had been so sad, now
sparkled joyfully.
"Oh, I feel so jolly inside" she
cried. Its just as if lot Of roll
licking imps were frisking through
my blood"
That's the fun bubbles dancing"

cried Peggy. "Your laugh has set
them free. Now you can play and
have a good time"
"Hurrah! Hurrah! It may not be
perfectly prim and proper. but I'm
happy, happy, happy" sang Pene-
lope, and she began to frolic gayly
She tickled Balky Sans nose until
he kicked up his heels. She set
Johnny Bull chasing his own tail
She chucked Billy Goat under the
chin and sent him prancing around
on his hind legs. She sang with the
birds and she swung with Rollo, the
monkey, in a grapevine swing. She
raced with Peggy and she went wad-
ing with Billy.
All too swiftly the minutes sped
by, until Reddy Woodpecker raped
out another warning on the old tin
