Nebraska Tells the World.

An Illinois manufacturers magazine singles
out Nebraska for congratulation, calling public
attention to the fact that this great state is now
we'll on the way back to normal and permanent
prosperity Other states are not receiving this
recognition even though they have come back as
we'll as has Nebraska. Some folks seem actually
to enjoy telling bad news, but this state since the
first of the year has been in more optimistic
frame Of mind
Recently Governor McKelvie embarked on a
campaign OF publicity for Nebraska. Wherever
he has been he has made point of telling of the
improvement in business He has written many
letters to financial and industrial concerns citing
figures on the increased value of grain, live stock
and other Nebraska products.
"The governors letter to u.s." remarks the
editor OF the Illinois publication, breeds
optimism and confidence in the future, two things
that are needed now in abundant quantities.
Spreading the gospel of Nebraska's comeback
offers lesson to all of us--lets look at the
doughnut, not the hole"
Nebraska is not without its calamity propa-
gandists. Were they more numerous they might
be influential in drawing the state back in the
slough of hard times. However, their efforts at
encouragement are pretty we'll discounted partly
as efforts to stir up unrest and gain political cap
ital. Nebraska is coming back, and it is i'm
portant that the world outside should hear of it.

Costs and Rewards OF Citizenship.

Omaha. frs, city OF Nebraska in population
and wealth. leads also in per capita taxation. with
a figure OF SJl.09 according TO the compilation
by the state department OF finance. Superior.
Wayne and Broken Bow follow in the order
named. II is quite probable tina, extravaganza
is in part responsible Tor this showing. but the
possibility must also be admitted that citizens OF
these communities are getting more in return for
their taxes than are those OF towns spending less
There are compensations for high local taxes,
though no one at present is in the mood for
seeking them out. Government, whether local,
state or national does not take without giving
something back, at least 1t can be asserted
without danger OF contradiction that those places
having small levies are attaining their savings by
sacrifice as well as public thrift.
More public money goes for schools than any
ether branch OF public activity. Undoubtedly
there is waste in education, but can any one
point out private school run on strict business
principles, that can give the same instruction as
the public schools for as small cost! The aver
age Nebraskan who has child in school is re-
ceiving more in return for his school tax than he
could get out OF investing the same sum in any
other way. And most parents will feel that
those who are chldless are therefore the better
able to afford a contribution to education to
which. by the way they themselves were freely
entitled
Statistics show that in Bayard, Neb, which
is comparatively new country where there were
= few years back no educational facilities, the
cost per pupil is $ll307. In Sidney it is $lO4G4
The cost Of years education in Kearney is less
than half as much, $5O27 and in Falls City,
$32O6. The figure given for Omaha in this table
compiled in Lincoln is $74.70. This is correct
as far as direct taxation is concerned, but does
not include indirect income from fines and
licenses. The statement Of the Omaha board Of
education sets the actual cost per pupil in the
elementary schools last year at $83.O7, and in
high school at $l50.sO This compares with much
lower figures for 1914, $4S9s for the grades and
$5s52 in high school. A. good deal Of the in
crease in high school costs is due to the In
staation Of technical courses, the most costly
sort of education.
People say that they want lower taxes, and
in fact, the burden Of government must be light
ened. This happy result can only in small meas
.ure be obtained by eliminating waste-most Of it
must be sought by public self-denial. And, once
more it is repeated, the bulk Of taxes 60 to the
school districts and local governments, not to
the state.

For the Russian People.

Lloyd George has pleaded with the delegates
at Genoa not to send the soviet representatives
home empty handed, because it might confirm
the starving, destitute people of Russia in the
belief that they are forgotten by the world out
side. Such an effect would be deplorable, and it
must be remembered that the chief approach to
the people of any country is through their gov
ernment. So, if the Russians are to be led back
to safe ground, the first step will have to come
from the group that is in control Millions of
tons of food sent into fanine-stricken region is
good evidence to the sufferers that they are not
abandoned, but it is mot enough to win them
entirely away from their adventure into an un-
fortunate experiment. Recovery will be slow,
but the process will be made the more certain if
action taken at Genoa is such as will permit
some encouragement to the masses that their
case is not entirely hopeless. In the end the
Russians will have to help themselves, but they
should not be allowed to live on under the ap-
prehension, so carefully engendered by the Lenin-
Trotzky group, that all the world has lost SYM
pathy for them. Lloyd Georges plea will find
an echo and may bring results at Genoa. Even
tually, however, the people Of Russia will have
to wearily, but hopefully, retrace some of the
steps they have so hastily taken.

Governor McKelvie's Timely Notice.

At the recent gathering of republicans at
Lincoln the governor said that prospective candi-
dates will be expected to stand by the work they
have helped to do. This is not unreasonable.
The legislature passed certain laws, BELIEVING
them to be conducive to better government in the
state. An active minority, taking advantage Of
the referendum, has secured the suspension Of
these laws until passed upon by the voters.
What the governor asks is that the legislators
who voted for these measures defend their
course before the people, explaining why they
thought it right that such laws should be enacted
OF course, he comedies to each the right to
change his mind and to attack his own record
but neutrality is hardly becoming attitude un-
der the circumstances. Opposition to these meas
ures is part Of the general campaign against the
McKelvie administration, which is the basis Of
the opposition campaign. McKelvie has encoun-
tered not little opposition in his own party.
yet it is not fair or reasonable that all he has
done be condemned because some of it was not
done to the satisfaction of everybody. The work
of the legislature however, is quite apart from
the work Of the executive and its members, when
put on the defensive. as they are by the refer
ence of certain laws, should have something to
say for themselves. That is what the governor
has in mind when he gives them notice that the
attack is on them rather than on him. If the
legislation was worthy OF passage it deserves de-
fense by those who made it.

War on the Speeder.

Like the dandelion, the speeder is pest hard
to get rid OF. Also. like the dandelon again,
if he affected himself only, he would never be
molested. But, just as the dandelion mars the
beauty Of an otherwise well kept lawn, so does
the thoughtless, needless driver, spoil the joy
OF the road for other drivers and puts i'll jeopardy
those who come under the orbit of his fight.
He has been warned and fined, cajoled and
scoded, and sometimes cursed in good heart,
but to no purpose. He cares for no ordinary
treatment he steps on the gas and away he
goes Any who happen to be in his way are
out Of luck.
In cities other than Omaha the treatment is
much more drastic than here. In Denver for
example, the speeder goes to jail, and stays
there The result is that traffic on Denver streets
is far safer than on those Of Omaha. Perhaps
