Reform Of Federal
Budget System Urged
By Governor Lowder

/. Sioux Falls, Feb. 18. - There
lever was more need of reorgan-
ization of government at Washing
ton on a business basis than at the
present time" said Gov. Frank O.
Lowden of Illinois, minority repub-
lican candidate for president at the
March primaries, in an address here
marking the opening of the political
campaign in South Dakota which
will come to a climax at the pri-
maries on March %.
Governor Lowden made this state
ment in explaining the budget sys-
tenn of Illinois and advocating a
sweeping reform of the federal bud
get system.
while there are other more i'm
portant contributing causes perhaps,
there is no doubt in the world but
that the present rate of taxation has
lot to do with the increased cost
of living" he said. Nobody has
had the genius to work out scheme
by which you could make one class
Of citizens pay the taxes alone, but
in practice those taxes are diffused
throughout the community and the
present rate of income and excess
profit, in taxes, enter into the cost
Of everything that the consumer
ouys."

Sitting beside Harry S. Mckay,

the trial till next Tuesday. y
Il think it is my duty to stick by
Mr.. Mckay in his trouble" said
Mary Milledge Mckay "He is doing
what he can to fix Np his married
affairs and do you think it would
be right to desert him at this time ?"
This viewpoint was sharply criti-
cized by Zura H. Milledge of the
ith-Vincent Gram Co, brother of
Mary Milledge Mckay.
Can't Understand Attitude.
Il can't understand my sisters at
titude at ALL" he said. Knowing
what the record 81. this man in the
marriage game is, | can see no rea-
son for it. However, though she
left him and came home for a
month after she learned that he had
another wife living. the other em-
ployes in the Office where she works
and where Mckay works seem to
have wrought change in her feel

PROPOSED MERGER
OF BIG RAILROADS
BENEFIT TO OMAHA
c. of c. Officials See Advan-
tases for City In Rumored
Consolidation.

Merger OF the Great Northern,
Northern Pacific and Burlington
railroads into great transcontinen-
tai system after government contro!
is ended as forecasted by high rail-
road officials, may be direct bene
fit to Omaha, in the opinion of
Chamber of Commerce officials.
If there is to be real consolida-
ton of three, lines, it becomes
reasonably certain that operating
headquarters will be in Chicago, ac-
cording to F. "A. Brogan, president
of the chamber. Even if the legal
headquarters of the consolidated
system is elsewhere all important
decisions will be made at the operat-
ing headquarters, Mr.. Brogan says.
There is no doubt that control
of the Burlington railroad by Great
Northern and Northern Pacific in
terests, under present conditions has
been detriment to Burlington ter
ritory in Iowa and Nebraska" Mr..
Brogan said. "The consolidation
into one system should remove this.
1T is a matter of wonder that
Omaha interests have not started
some action to segregate the Bur-
lington line from the control of the
other lines long ago. The Chamber
of Commerce has been considering
such action for the last year, but has
been awaiting the termination of
control.
G. w. Holdrege, assistant general
manager of the Burlington railroad,
the highest Burlington official in
Omaha, said yesterday that he knew
nothing about the proposed merger
of the three railroads.
Officials of the Chamber of Com
merce traffic bureau say that pro-
visions in the Esch- Cummings rail-
road bill. now reported out of con-
ference, not only make such a
possible, but encourage it.

TN THE making of dress accessories'
l. ribbons appear to have eclipSed all
oth& materials. Everything from
hats to shoes and from undies to
wraps looks to ribbon for adOrnment
and, besides being used for making
garnitureS, 1t plays part in the con-
struction of many garments. To begin
at the beginning in ribbon accessories,
is to begin with sashes. There is a
world of them to consider, from the
simplest bands of the narrow fash
tonable two-toned, picot-edged ribbons
that have decked sheer summery
frocks, to gorgeous and intricate az
fairs in rich moire or brilliant brOcade
that are elaborated into bodices and
draperies. There are sashes for aft
ernoOn and evening gowns and there
are sashes for street gowns, all as diff
ferent in character as the frocks them
selves are. There are sashes that are
| prolonged into trains and others that
become draperies for skirts or aspire
into bodices, with the aid of malines
or net or lace. Frocks are really
merely lovely back grounds for these
ambitious efforts Of the accessory de-
signer.
An affair of this kind claims consld-
Grafton in the group of sashes pic
tured. This extravagant and ingenious
arrangement consists of an overbodice
and girdle which becomes a ripple of
plaits over the hips and blossoms Into
loops and four hanging ends at the
back. Two long ends reach the bottom
of the skirt and are edged with frills
of narrow lace. These and the two
shorter ends are rounded. The filmy
gown serves to set off this elaboration
| of the sash into the most important
feature Of the costume. 1t would be
effective In any of the lovely colors
used for evening dress.
A much simpler and more popular
sash Is made of wide, soft and plain
satin ribbon. 1t is adjusted about the
waistline In a crushed girdle that is
brought twice around and raised Mt
the left SIDE 1t Is necessary to stay
girdle of this kind with wire or
come other support. 1t Is finished at
the back with two loops and two ends
and over its fastening at the side, a
spray of small roses takes up the color
of the ribbon and repeats 1t in many
delightful tints.
A description of sashes for evening
frocks might go on indefinitely. there
are so many of them In such varied
arrangements, but their growing I'm
portance in tailored frocks compels
attention. For these there are fine
tailored sashes like that pictured In
the group shown here, and others
less staid. This one Is made of black
satin ribbon folded and arranged into
two loops and one looped end. The
folds are tackled to place. These tail
ored girdles and tailored hat orna
ments are very interesting and design
ers find 1t worth while to specialize
In making them.
