VAUGHAN TAXATION
 BILL NOT PASSED

Little Rock, Mare h 12.-Consider- able alarm was caused in many quar- ters by the publication of story in Little Rock newspaper to the effect that the Vaughan taxation measure had been passed. It is most com prehensive bill regulating assessment and taxation, one of it's principal fea- lures being a one hundred per cent as- sessment of all property 1t had pass ed the senate and was received in the house several days before adjourn ment. Printed copies were distribut ed to the members, but it got no furth- CT and was not even read first and second time. Like hundreds of other bills it died on the calendar. Those who have studied the bill carefully say it has some good features and that it is a movement in the right di- rection fer a revision of the tax laws of the state, which all admit to be necessary. There was great opposi- tion in the house to the bill and had it been called up, it would undoubted- lr have been tabled or at least over defeated

BIG CROWD ENJOYS
 CONCERT BY BAND

Despite the indictment weather, the concert by the Hendrix College band, last night at the Central College au- ditorium was heard by an audience that filled the auditorium. The pro- gram was well rendered and Director H. F. Mutt deserves much praise for the manner in which he has developed the Hendrix band up to it's high state of efficiency.
 The special features, reading by Miss Phillips of Central College, a solo by MT. Hess of the State Noraml and a cornet solo by Dr. C. c. Rob- erts, were especially enjoyed by the audience. Proceeds from the concert will be applied on the band debt, Mir Mutt said today.

wasted should be considered by all farmers looking for large money re- turns. The pig produces a pound of gain on about one-half the dry matter used for gains on cattle, and sut- passes the sheep in economy of meat production.
 The returns for hig production are realized in a relatively short time. The necessary investment in equipment and in breeding stock is small. The ratio between the price of feeds and the price of live hogs at the present time is such as to give profits from feed ing. 4 few surplus hogs should b. grown on most Arkansas farms each year, since ready market and con stant market is now available for these hogs through cooperative shipments"

 Washington, March F. - Rapid growth of the Alaskan reindeer in dustry, predicted soon to be the ter ritory's chief production, may aid in reducing costs of meat in the United States, agriculture department of fcials said today. Considerable quan- titles of the meat already have been shipped, it was said, despite high ship ping rates. Low production costs overcome much of the transportation losses, officials said. Quality of the meat is said to be somewhat better than venison and very similar in laNoN

BRITISH UNABLE ID
 BREAK SINN FEN
By Chas. NIcCann.


 United Press Staff Correspondent
 Dublin, March 12.-Sinn Fein has not yet begun to break under the mill tary yoke of Ireland Theoretically the situation has remained unchanged during the past month.
 Ulster is beginning it's program for effecting a home rule bill The bill will be put in operation in December The first parliament may or may not contain the substantial proportion of Sim Fein representatives who will be elected, as 1t has not been decided whether they still pursue their planned obstructive tactics as members or whether they will merely refuse to take the oath of allegiance and leave from Is to 20 vacant seats.
 There is no home rule talk in the south of Ireland. Practically nothing has been done so far, and Sim Fein, which for all practical purposes means southern Ireland, anticipates no early activity in behalf of the bill.
 Moderate opinion on both sides in the south agrees that if the govern ment is willing to combat the Repub- lican forces with the most intensive sort of martial law and is willing to supply the money and men necessary to effect it, Sim Fein will be crushed eventually.
 The indication is that the home rule bill will be the basis of settlement in the south, provided again that the gov ernment carries out its intention of gO- ing through with its stern policy The policy if carried out means the Brit ish Empire against Ireland. The re- suit expected is that peace on the home rule basis will be one of sub jugation instead of negotiation; that Sim Fein, though in that event il would he crushed, would not be killed. Even government authorities state frankly that jt cannot be ended
 The fact remains that Sim Fein claims to he and apparently is strong CT than f was three months ago. There are not enough soldiers in Ire land at present to keep the country under ,he restraint aimed at by the military authorities Attacks on mili- tary police re m7ra frequent in al- most 1 ao tlar hey were three months aea Thor.

McKelvie Ends the Censorship.

Governor Mckelvie's prompt and emphatic
veto OF the moving picture censorship measure
will be approved by right-thinkng Eebraskans.
He gives a very good reason for his act in these
words:
wish to point out the fruitful field OF dis
scnsion, discomfort and resentment that is dc.
vclopng in the public mind by this sort OF
Y regulatory legislation.
\ tendency to interfere with the erdlnary
affairs OF life. to set up an indefinite and hazy
standard OF morals by statute, and to put the
keeping OF the public conscience into private care,
has caused much apprehension among those who
truly love tl,er fellowmen, and who have hopes
ior the spiritual as well as the intellectual and
material advance OF the race. The Bee has on
several occasions presented whas it regards as
good reasons why such board as was proposed
by the advocates OF censorship, should not be
created. 1t Isl not to the credit OF the legislators
that in the closing moments OF long session
they should have given way and, one branch ad-
hitting that it was passing the buck" to the
other, have enacted such piece OF legislation
as many of them realized is dangerous, in its
nature and subversive in its principle. Governor
McKelvie ha. shown moral courage that might
we'll have controlled the lawmakers and have re-
lieved then, long ago from the most troublesome
item ON their program.

Keen Amateur Base Ball Clean.

Omaha, like all other live communities, is
greatly interested in base ball. This extends
beyond the splendid team that represents the
city in the Western league, and includes the en-.
thusiastic semi-professional and amateur organ
izations, which are so numerous and so energetic,
AS matter of fact, it is quite probable that
partisanshp runs higher in proportion to the
amateur than to the professional clubs.
This quality OF answering, loyal support has
Nbeen source of difficulty from the start IN con-
nection with the efforts to organize ard discipline
the unpaid players. They take part in the con-
tests from pure love of sport. Their followers
are likewise imbued with magnificent zeal, and
not one Of them but is first and last in favor OF
fair play at all times. Frequently, however. in
the excitement OF a close contest, when dis
puted play comes up, hot temper is likely to hasf
out when cool judgment would be far better,
Then it is word, and blow, and frequently
row, marring the game that should have been
Joy to all.

his spots" My reason for thinking
as do is the fact that he maintains
Herdzina's 5 statements 10 be true: l.
e., that he was shooting over his
head with no intent to kill,
| would like to ask any normal
minded person 10 picture man in
the position Herdzina says he was
in, body bent over the side OF the
car. and head held down In the back
of the car by the occupants, certainly
n very awkward position for a man
TO be in. Now this man carried 4 As
automatic which contains. as we all
know seven shots. Herdzina says he
fired seven shots over his shoulder
at random--now three Of these shots
took effect in the body OF Joe
Howard, two in that of CLIFFORD
Kane, one in John Welsh and one in
Paul Kane, very good shooting I
would say for a man in his posi-
tion and shooting at random with
no intent TO kill, firing seven shots
and seven shots took effect.
All of the boys in that car were
personal friends OF mine and l would
like to stake any Of their characters
and past regulations against those
of Detective Herdzina, whose career
on the Omaha police force is painted
red with the blood OF HIS innocent
victims. Wake up, DR.. Clifford, and
extend your efforts for some one
else, who will at least have consid

end that rowdyism be eliminated This does no,
mean that base ball games are to become calm,
as afternoon teas, but that the hot-hesded young
sters win be taught that there is better way OF
settling arguments than handing the other fellow
a punch in the nose. To win ball game each
player must have absolute control OF all his
faculties all the time, and the man who loses his
temper is handicap to his team for that long
at least.
As to the gambling element the man Who will
invent 4 way to prevent partisans from backing
their judgment as TO the merits OF the teams or
the players will have achieved real wonder.
1t may be possible to keep down open gambling,
which is the curse OF the game, but the quiet
sort is bound to prevail as long as base ball is
played.

What the Legislature Accomplished.

1t is little too soon to fully appraise the
work of the legislature just adjourned withou,
day. From the time it commenced work, At the
beginning OF the new year, until Its end, almost
four months later. 1t has been busy. Whatever
else'nay be said of the body, its members were
hard workers. They took hold OF their task Sc
rousy and earnestly endcavored 10 do what to
them seemed best. We gravely doubt ii eondi-
tons in Nebraska are such as warrant many oi
the e.aiempts made at correcting the ways OF the
people, or whether marked improvement in so.
cal and business life will follow the wake OF the
new statutes. But many needed things were at
tended to, and some provisions made that will
szasurcly be of benefit 10 all the citizens. ~
--, Omaha is particularly interested in the home
rt!e charter that is to be voted on here in June.
s..Next to this comes the revenue law, which will
be studied very closely before its provisions are
entirely clear The districting Of Douglas county
Tor the election OF members Of the legislature
is to conform to the constitutional provision,
adopted last summer. 1t will materially COM
plicate local politics, but may finally work out
as its advocates hope. Similar remark may be
made as to the law that abolishcs the police
judges and justices OF the peace and ADDS two
, members to the municipal court bench.
i For the first time in the states history ap-
preparations were made in response toAa budget
submitted by the executive. This, together with
Ahe confirmation OF the code system, OF admins
istration and the preparation OF the revenue law,
indicates the progress being made in the nlsnner.
and form OF the state government. 1t is not en-
stircly clear, though, as to whether the budget
plan has entirely eliminated iogrollins3on ap-'
preparations. External evidences Of the old
method may be discerned in the result,
5i Fiercest OF all the sessions contsoversles
ragged around the movie censorship, portion Of
the extensive welfare program presented. by the.
special commission, and most OF whieh WAS jctr
tisoned by the Legislature. In the last moment
the censorship measure went through, but d
prompt veto by the governor may be accepted as
the final verdict on this piece OF work.
i 70 the credit OF the members must be placed
the noteworthy reluctance to expand expendi-.
turcs. A final budget approximatng $2S,OOo,o0o
ior the bienniurn is formidable enough under
circumstances Many desirable measures failed
to receive approval, and some went over that
might have been killed without harm to the
state but on the whole the session will measure
up fairly we'll with its predecessors.
