pay more interest. So then what is
the use to make the nation, state,
county. school. city and village pay
taxes on their buildings and improve
ments which would practically amount
to the same thing as making them
pay tax on their bonds.
The Farmers union at their con-
vention in Omaha went on record as
favoring taxing the intangible prop
erty same as other property: that
looks good at first glance. but
l tell you that in the year 1911 we
had s2,300,0o0 on deposit In our IL
banks in Burt county on the first
day of April over and above the
county, city and school funds which
were exempt from taxation. and that
local assessors succeeded in listing
about s300.000 for taxation, leaving
50 900 900 TO the credit of the tax
dodgers, or about $500 for every
schedule turned In by our local asses
sor. Then we can see how the dis
honest man lies out of such taxes
and the honest are left to carry the
burden. Why should we offer such
premium for dishonesty? IT would OF
course be better If we could pull the
tax dodgers out where Gods light
would shine on them. but until We do,
let good enough alone.
Our teachers. too, at their conven-
tion in Omaha went on record az
| Ifavoring honest taxation, and we have
been told that there were more dia-
monds and precious stones on the
dainty little fingers in that cenven-
ton than all the people in the state
pay taxes on. And the chairman of
the state board Of equalization said
he could find more pianos in two
blocks in the city of Lincoln than all
OF Lincoln paid taxes on. Then let
us conflscate all jewellery and pianos
that are not being listed for taxation.

Honesty In Everyday Life.

Honesty In Everyday Life.
omaha-To the Editor OF The oma-
ha Bee: The other day a friend of
mine in making change gave a man
a IS bill for a 81 bill. My friend did
not miss the IS for some time after
the man had gone.
Now I will venture to say that
95 out OF 100 would not pay that
money back. they would push them
selves through crowds in a store,
hurry out. get into their auto or
street car and get away as fast as
they could, and when they were at
safe distance they would rub their
hands together and slap them and
say, "Ha. Ha" Now that kind of
money never did any good and never
will.
Like the old miser, for instance. He
lay on his pallet In dying condition
with sacks of gold piled high on
chairs and tables. He lay on his bed
with glistening eyes looking at his
treasure when along came serpent
and twisted himself so tightly about
the sacks that the sacks ripped and
tore and let the gold fall and scatter
all over the floor. The sick man rose
on his elbow and looking at the
money scattered about, shouted in his
last breath, My God. save my money
for me. ere l die That was all the
good II did him. Ill-gotten money
never does any good. Look at Teapot
Dome.
Now In the shop where the change
was given there appeared a light in
the sky and II kept getting brighter
and brighter, nearer and nearer, when
out of the light a man appeared. II

money. He has actually come back
TO pay the money he had received

heard OF In this country. and IL things
go on the way they have been, Il will
be long before anything like that
happens again. Oh. boy, Amt II a
grand and glorious feeling to have
had the pleasure of witnessing such a
sight. Those happy days are gone
forever. When an occurance like that
actually happened in real life.
The aristocratic. well-dressed ladies
and gentlemen are no exception. They
would say it was his own fault. We
did not ask him to do II, 30 that ends
IL. Out OF this light came this honest
man radiant and smiling with hole
some and honest heart in the image
and likeness of his God.

THE JOY OF LIVING.

IL Is sweet to greet the morning when
the suniight's rosy glow
Scatters JOY along the pathway as TO
work you gaily go.
'Tis joy to hear the whistle as IT
blows its merry tune
And you lay aside your labor for the
brief respite Of noon.
Through the hours Of daily labor that
the hand or brain employ
There's a single thought that's bring
ing you wealth of honest joy.
It's the thought that there is waiting
at the door some loving one
Who will smile and bid you welcome
when the days works done.
Sometimes heavy grows the burden
and you bend beneath the load.
And 1t seems that only trouble walks
beside you on the road,
But the heavy burden lightens as
you think of love that waits.
And your troubles quickly vanish as
you laugh to scorn the fates.
Through the duty doing hours you
take courage as you strive.
Knowing that with loved ones waiting
It's joy TO be alive.
And you praise the Lord for living and
for work from sun to sun,
And the smile and kiss that's waiting
when the days works done.
Rumors are efoat Of a movement
on foot in central Nebraska to run
US for governor on an anti-reform
ticket. While deeply appreciative of
the honor we must decline to be a
candidate on such a ticket at this

there il as yet no visible recession
of the reform wave. and we are not
one to butt our head against a stone
wall.
Sooner or later there will be a re.
volt against so much reform by legis-
