Too Much Government
In Business Caused
Slump, Says Coal Man

Indianapolis, Oct. 1l.--Too much
government in business has been the
major cause of business depression,
George H. Gushing, managing direc-
tor OF the American Wholesale Coal
association, today told the conven-
ton Of the National Association OF
Purchasing Agents.
Governmental agencies, he said,
during three years of war, inflated
the currency and then contracted it,
debating prices, destroying buying
power amounting to between $25,-
OOO.Oo0, 900 aud $50, ,000, 100000 year.
The yearly national tax budget of
$1,000, ,OO0, 900, de declared, could not
materially be decreased because, he
said, $4,000, 900, 900 went to pay the
cost of past wars or for preparation
for future wars.
The present cost Of government,
he said, was 7 IL per cent of the
estimated value of production of
farms, mines, quarries and factories;
so per cent of the increased value of
property listed for taxation and 90
per cent OF the total money in circu-
lation. .

The Man and The Job

The unemployment situation is
not to be solved by sitting still
and doing nothing. That The Bee
has already Remarked. 1t is
time for everyone to do his mite
to keep as many men and women
at work as may be. 1t is time
for sacrifice by those fortunate
enough to have jobs to give, a
time for them to employ men and
women If they can even though
they might postpone the work
while longer.
The Bee proposes to do its part.
Beginning Wednesday and con-
tinuing until January I, The Bee
will publish advertisements by in
dividuals in its classified section
under the headings. Help
Wanted" and Situations Wanted"
free of charge. Details Of the plan
will be found on the Classified
Advertising page.
This is undertaken in the hope
that it may contribute materially
toward getting the man and the
job together. In a time like this,
when unemployment constitutes a
real problem, there should be no
wastage. If a job exists for GER
tain type Of man or woman, the
person should be found who wants
that job.

freight rates constituted one of a
number Of recommendations formu-
lated for presentation today to the ma
tional unemployment conference for

ment OF the nations commerce and

financial relationship with the rail-
ways, having in mind the immediate
necessity for increased betterments
making effective increased railway
employment and stimulation of gen.
eral employment.

consequent increase of tranquility
and further decrease of the tax bur-
den not only in. the United States but
the other countries.
Action looking to the minimizing
of fluctuations of exchange.
Defr.te programs of actions that

Repeal OF
Taxes
Is Adopted
Amendment Lifting Levy on
Passenger, Freight and Pull
man Charges Passes Senate
BY Unanimous Vote.
Expect Fight on Others
Ny Tho Associated Prsss.

Washington, Oct. 1.-THE repub.
lican compromise tax revision pro-
gram was started on its way through
the senate today with the adoption
without dissenting or record vote,
OF an amendment proposing repeal
on next January ! of the transpor-
tation taxes on freight passenger
traffic, Pullman accommodations, ex-
press packages and oil by pipe line,
There were increasing evidences in
the senate and behind the scenes,
however, that some other eompro-
mise proposals would not find as
easy sailing. Replying to an inquiry
from the democratic side, Senator
McCumber OF North Dakota an
nounced the compromise amend
ments would not be offered on be-
half of the full republican member
ship OF the finance committee; that
he was against some of them and
that lie and other committeeman re-
served the right to appose them.
To Fight Surtax Rate.
Senators in the so-called manu-
facturers' bloc" supported by house
leaders, were set to launch their
fight against the so per cent maxi
mum income surtax rate amendment
after its introduction. There were
reports that this provision would be
materially altered in the conference
between the house and senate on the
bill.
House leaders were understood to
have made it plain they would not
recede from the original house max
imum rate OF 81 per cent but some
senator's were Of the opinion that the
reduction likely to be made by the
conferees would not be as great as
l8 per cent.
Eastern senator's were ready to
wage war on the compromise amend
ment to retain the corporation cap
ital stock tax, but sponsors of the
new tax program were confident this
not only would be put through the
senate, but would be retained in con-
ference, as the house bill did not
proposed repeal of this section of the
existing law.
Democrats Plan Fight.
Democrats generally were expect
ed to support the surtax, estate tax,
capital stock tax, corporation ex-
cmption repeal and other provisions
OF the compromise program. Some
leaders on that side thought the
minority would vote almost solidly
against the bill unless provisions
were made for increased taxes on
corporations and reduced taxes on
individuals having incomes of$l5 5000
a year or less.
Before adopting the transportation
tax repeal amendment the senate
voted down an amendment propos-
ing that the repeal be effective 10

Jewish Holiday
Delays Trial Of
Four Omahans
Men Charged With Liquor
Theft Plead Not Guilty in
Kings Court Of Saskat-
chewan, Canada.

Estevas six, Oct. ll.-(Special
Telegram. - day of atonement
came for four Os men here and
all were present.
Observance of the Dayss 3tohe-
ment, however, kept sevenWefown
witnesses from appearing. The pre-
siding judge ruled that observance
of the jewish holiday must not in
terfere with the court procedure and
bench warrants were issued for the
arrest of three of the witnesses. The
other four will be dealt with later.
Charge Liquor Theft.
Seven charges were read to the
Omahans: Leroy Compton, Axel F.
Pearson, Arthur Henshaw and Jack
Howard, alias ]. B. Sheldon. All
pleaded not guilty. when arraigned
in the kings bench court of Sas-
katchewan. The charges include the
theft of $1,000 in liquor and passing
forged checks for $4,000.
The Canadian authorities worked
with bulldog determination to get
the Omaha men extradited. The case
was finally carried up to Secretary
of State Hughes for a ruling on the
American-Canadian treaty.
Face Trial Together.
It is planned to try the four men
together and take evidence against
them at the same time. Delay
caused by the non-attendance of
Jewish witnesses will probably hold
up trial of the case until Thursday.
Edward Norris OF Minot, N. D.,
was implicated with the Omaha men
and tried last spring. He was ac-
quilted. The trial of the Omaha
men is on more serious charges.
The trial of the four men has
excited great interest along the
boundary. The offenses with which
they are charged were committed
last November in Gainsboro, Sask.

Negro Murderer
Battles Guards
At State Prison
Fire Hose Used to Subdue
Slayer of Robert Taylor
Sentenced to Chair
November 4.

Lincoln, Oct. 1l.-(Special Tele-
gram m.)-For two hours today James
B. King, negro, under sentence OF
death for the murder OF Robert Tay-
lor, prison guard, held guards at the
state penitentiary at bay with huge
piece of iron which he had torn from
washbowl in his cell.
The ----- who comes in
here will go like Taylor did" he
told guards who stood safely out
side the door of his cell.
Finally, at the direction of War
den w. T. Fenton. the penitentiary
fire department was called and the
water turned on full force. The
heavy stream playing on the negro
for 10 minutes subdued him and he
put down his club and held up his
hands.
The trouble started when King
asked if he might write note to
Warden Fenton. His request was
granted. The note, it is reported
was blasphemous in character and
King was relegated to the "hole."
1t was in the hole that the mur-
derous mood which caused the cold
blooded murder OF Taylor a few
months ago returned to him and he
tore the pipe from the washbowl and
threatened to murder a second man.
King murdered Taylor after re-
port from the latter had been the
means Of sending him to the "hole"
for punishment.
KING was sentenced to be eiectfo-
cuted on November 4 by District
Judge Stewart of the Lancaster
county district court.
His attorneys appealed to the SUI
preme court and the electrocution
has been indefinitely postponed
pending arguments on the appeal.
