9 rds Blamed
by Governor for
Excessive Taxes
Bryan Issues Statement Urg-
ing Taxpayers and Officials
to Effect General
Reduction.
Special Dispatch to The Omaha Bee.

Lincoln, June 13.-When Charles
w. Bryan was running for governor
of Nebraska he had many sarcastic.
harsh things to say about charts Is
sued by the McKelvie administration
on showing that in the total of taxes.
that part set aside for state expenses
was small and insignificant.
Today Governor Bryan issued the
same sort of a statement laying blame
for high taxes to county boards. city
boards and school boards and point.
ing out how small. comparatively. Is
the state tax. The statement by the
governor is in the guise of an
economy plea TO local taxing units.
It follows, in full;
I'm so far as state taxes are con-
cerned the legislature makes the ap-
preparations to meet the states needs,
and the state board OF equalization
and assessment then makes a levy
to meet the appropriation. The ap-
propriations made by the 1923 session
of the legislature were substantially
reduced from the appropriations made
two years ago.
The method OF providing funds for
various subdivisions OF the state dif-
fers from that of the state in that
the leyies are made by various county
boards and expenditures are made on
the basis of the levy. The establish
ing of these levies is now being con-
sidered by various taxing subdivisions
OF the state, and / want to urge
that prospective expenditures be scru.
tinized closely with the object In view
Of making the levies as low as pos.
sible.
People have been groanlng under
the burden OF taxation and meetings
have been held throughout the state
protesting against them. but the time
for action is now while levies are be.
ing considered. The state govern
ment will do all in its power to re-
duce this burden, but II there is
to be any substantial showing there
must be cooperation all along the
limo to the end that our county, city.
school and other taxes also may come
down.
Il urge upon the people Of the state
the Importance OF giving serious con-
sideration to figures submitted In this
statement, and that they advise with
the local taxing authorities with
view to effecting a general reduction.

Britain Plans

on Equal Recognition.

London, June 13.-The British gov
ernment tonight requested from
France and Belgium a detailed state
ment of their demands upon Germany
for reparations.
This move is regarded at White
hall as the beginning of a new and
positive policy, which will insist that
France must recognize Great Bri-

The British cabinet debated for
more than two hours today the ques-
ton of reparations but decision was
still deferred.

The general view after the meet
ing was that it is impossible TO alter
the British view of profound disap-
proyal of the French occupation of
the Ruhr. But, if Germany is able
TO find a formula which will allow
France TO evacuate the Ruhr without
loss of prestige, then Britain will aid
the plan.

RuhrDran1a
Played by
Three Men
Situation Is Affair of Individ.
uality With Poincare,
Cuno and Baldwin in
Roles.
Labor Behind Premier
BY MARK SULLIVAN.

London, June 13.--It's three-sided
case of face saving. 1t is called saw
ing the prestige Of nations, but more
accurately, in two of the cases, 1t is
the prestige of individuals who COM
pose the governments that is in
eolvod.
Premier Poincare. before he is will
ing to discuss the German note. wants
Germans to cease passive resistance
in the Ruhr in order to justify his
eatrance there and make it seem to
have been successful. Chancellor
cuno. as head of the German govern
ment, does not want to cease the
passive resistance because that would
be backing down.
In Britain there has been a change
of premiers since the Ruhr invasion
began but Britain as a whole refused
to approve the occupation policy at
the time 1t was undertaken and moth
ing has happened to lead 1t to
change that attitude.
Germany Weakest.
In this closed triangle, if any cor
ner must break, it will probably be
the weakest one-whch is Germany.
Chancellor Cuno has less personal in
terest in the face-saving process than
have either of the others concerned.
It Is the belief in well informed cir
cles that he did not want his present
job in the beginning. and that he has
had no reason to become enamored
. of 1t by the experience he has had.
France holds the threat of war
over Britain as well as over Germany.
The threat has been held out almost
frankly in many utterances made in
the French press. which composes
the amiable handmaiden of French
diplomacy.
Largely holding up the reparation
matter are England's million and 3
half Of unemployed. France, by
keeping some men in its army and
others at government work in re.
storing northern France, and by prac-
tising imitation. avoids unemployment
The French press says France can
Britain.
Labor Behind Baldwin.
An outsider may venture to doubt
that. Certainly British labor is not
intimidated. They compose the op-
position party in England. and as
such deplore the invasion of the Ruhr
and Will support Premier Baldwin in
any course he may feel compelled to
take.
Here. then. Is conservative tory
prime minister backed up by the op-
position labor party. 1t comprises
national unity back of Mr.. Baldwin
such as IS not often duplicated.
One hopeful element is that all
parties to the situation continue to
approximate steadily to roughly the
same figure as the proper reparation
total-a figure from SO 900. 900 900 to
