Isn’t this one of the forms of pooling agreemerits for- bidden by the interstate commerce law? THE members of the English govern- ment will do well to offer their services as arbitrators betweeen employer and employe only in cases in which success is practically assured. Without the power of compulsion, a failure to offect an amicable settlement of differences would be a most severe blow to the cause of arbitration. WHAT has President Powell to do in the executive session of the Maele~d in- vestizating committee? Has the presi- dent of the Board of Education been re- tained to defend the superintendent of buildings against the charges that have teen brought against him? If President Powell wants to participate in the work of the investigating committeo he might have had himself appointed to a place in that body. THE attorneys may be willing to drop the prosecution of the cases against the asylum boodlers, but they will not find the people of Nebraska so willing. Tt is already whispered that undue influ- ences were brought to bear upon the jurymen who decided the cases. The county attorney of Lancaster county owes it to himself to make a thorough investigation of the ways and means employed by the defense to secure the verdiots of uequittal, THE Macleod investigating committee will not be permitted to say to the peo- ple of this community that the charges preferred partake 1 any degree of the nature of political persecution. They are a matter of ord and must be proved or disproved. It res's solely with the committee to go to the bottom of the matter. If the members want the fucws they can get them. 1I they profer to condone and gloss over Macleod's raunk incompetency they can do so. But the Board of Education will be held responsible for failure to prosecute thorough investigation of the accused. AN INTIMATICN has beon received hy THE BEE from an authoritative source that the main object of the railroads in avtacking the constitutionality of the Nebraska maximum rate law is to carry the case to the supreme court in order 1o test the sentiment of that tribunal. It is asserted that it has been a number of years since the supreme court of the . United States has passed uponany great case involving the rights cf the people to regulate the rates charged by common carriers for the transportation of freight. Since the last great case was reviewed there have been muny changes in the pers nnel of the court, and the men who manage tho cases for the railway eompanies believe thav the sentiment of & wajority of tho court may have changed also. PROGRESS OF TARIFF REVISION The democratic members of the ways and means committeo have gotten over one of the difficnlties, and perhaps the most serious one, that obstructed pro- grossin framiung the new tariff bill. They have disregarded the appeals of the iron orc and the wool interests of the south and decided to pnt iron ore and wool on the free list. Nothing else was reasonable to be expected unless the whole democratic poliey regarding @ revision of the tariff was to be aban- doned. Obviously to retain protective duties on these raw materials would be to practically surrender the cause for which the democratic party has been contending and which itclaims was ap- proved by the country in the general election of last year. If iron ore and wool were not placed on the free list by ademocratic ways und means commit- tee, what justification would there be for allowing any other raw materials to come in free? hese are the most jm- portant of the articles which enter into our manufacturing industries, and as the basic principle of democratic tariff reform is to give those industries freo ‘aw matorials, it is plain that iron ore and wool could not be excluded from the free list without doing violence to that principle. The demoeratic members of the ways and means committee have therefore decided according to the policy of their party. They are consistent, and the democrats in the south, interested iniron ore and wool, who asked them to retain tho duties on these articles, are not consistent. They voted to place the government in control of the democratic party, having a full knowledge of the policy and purpose of that party regard- ing the tariff, and they have no right to complain now that the roprescntatives of the party propose to do what it prom- ised. If they did not expect this radical action in the event of democratic suc- cess the only reason is to be found in a lack of confidence in the party’s pledges. Nevertheless, the people in the south interested in iron ore and wool do not intend, as at present understood, to com- placently submit to having all protec- tion removed from those article; Ala- bama's representatives in both branches of congress will fight against free iron ore and perhaps the voice of one or two other south- ern states will be heard on the samo side. Texas will battle against free wool and may make a combination with the iron orve states. Thoe contest will be transferred from the committes room to the floor of the house and may have to be decided there by republican votes. In that event it is easy to predict that neither iron ore tor wool will go to the free list. The decision of the com- mittee in this matter is by no means conclusive, unless the minorty pacty should decide to leave the entire re- sponsibility for tariff legislation with the majority, which is far from pro- able. Indeed, it was announced before the late clections that the republicans would resist any changes in the tariff which they do not think desirable, and it would seem that the result of the clections must have strengthened this purpose. The question which appears to be causing the democrats of the ways and means committee the greatest perplexity at present relates to sugar and whisky. Shall there be a duty placed on raw sugar or shall the tax on whisky be in- creased? is just now the troublesome problem. It would seem that such a question ought not to worry intelligent men a moment, but the constituents of a large number of the democrats in con- gress are very much interested in whisky. A great deal of it is produced in Kentucky, Tennessee and some other states of the south, and they are not favorable to increasing the tax. This whisky interest would prefer to bave a duty placed on sugar, and it has influence in congress. The most likely outcome will be a compromise by which sugar will be subjected to a mod- erate duty and & small increase made in the whisky tax. Jtis expected that the new bill will be made public next Monday and it can safely be said that whenever it appears it wili receive most interested attention fromall classes who can be affected by it. The measure framed by the ways and means com- mittee will not necessarily “be enacted into law. It is certain that it will undergo many changes in the house and senute. But it undoubtedly will repre- sent the most radical purpose of the democrats at present in revising the tariff. OPPOSITION 10 AN INCOME TAX, There is enough democratic opposi- tion to an income tax to warrant the belief, said to prevail at Washing- ton, that the proposal to levy such a tax cannot be carried through congress. It is understood that a majority of the democratic members of the ways and meens commitiee are favorable to it, but one or two of them will make a vig- orous fight against the adoption of the policy. Cockran of New York has gono on reeord as unqualifiedly opposed to it. He has expressed to the ways and means ¢ommittes his opinion that such a tax was vieidus in principie and class legislation ¢f the worst character, He declaved that if adopted it would array the rich against the poor and in such a contest the rich always camo out ahead. It would relieve the labor- ing man of responsibility in meintaining the government, and in the end it would exclude him from participation in W, He argued that if such a tax were leviod ivought to apply oqually to everyboly, 50 that the man who earned $2 a day might pay his tax of 4 cents and thus preserve his rights and duties as a self- respecting eitizen, just the same as the man whose income was $40 a day, From a political view point Mr, Cockran thought the levying of an income tax would be fatal to the democratic party. Some of the zans of democratic opinion ave no less pronounced in thelr opposition to an income tax. The Phila- delphia Record says that a'more inig- ultous and insidious system of raising public revenue could not be devised. “If it be designed by this policy,” says that papor, “to divide the people of this country into two distinet classes—the taxpayers and the nontaxpayers, a moneyed avistcoraey supporting the government and a despised proletariat THE having no stake scheme purpose encmios in the country—no well calculated for such a could be invented by the of true democracy.” The Record characterizes the members of the ways and means commit- who advocate an income tax “insidious demagogues,” which rather on Mr. William van and the other champions of this policy, ail but two of them coming from the south, where the income tax plan is popular for the obvious reason that only a very small part of such a tax would come from that section. Other democratic organs oppose the tax for a variety of reasons, among them that it is against the genius of our system of national government that a tax should be levied which requires that the agents of the federal administration shall enter the scveral states and make a house-to- house canvass and levy upon the income of citizens, The offensively inquisitorial nature of such a tax, of which it cannot be relieved if 1t s to be made effective, is one of the strongest objections to it. Subject- ing the private bnsiness affairs of the citizea to the investigation of petty offi- clals is not a trifiing matter. It was very largely thecause of the opposition to the income tax levied in 1861 and which expired by limitation ten yeavs later. Itisa question whether an incomo tax would produce suflicient revenue to justify <o radical a departure. The as- sumption that under the pian proposed, which exempts incomes below 4,000, the tax would yield as much as it did during the war, when the amount ex empted was only 3600, would probably not be borne out by results. The cost of collecting the tax would be heavy, and careful esti- mates make the provable net return to the government not to exceed $15,000,- 000. Buteven ii it were cortain that an income tax would produce four times that sum, as its advocates claim, the fact would not overcome the strong and valia objoctions to this methed of rais- ing revenue. 50 severe STILL TRADUCING OMARA. Disappointment over the defeat of their hopes of suddling the blight of prohibition upon the state of Nebraska, althongh that contest occurred over threo years ago, has not ceased to stir up the bitter resentment of unserupu- lous prohibitionists against everything and everybody, and particularly tho high license system, that was joined in the forces opposing constitutional prohi- bition. The mercenary agitators, who find their way into the prohibition ranks for revenue only, continue to carry on their campaigns of defamation and false- hood wherever the issue happens to mauke its reappearance. The fact that Ontario is now suffering from an on- slaught similar to that which was r pelled in Nebraska in 1800 is giving them oceasion to repeat their vile slanders against our city and state. The mere repetition of the bold asser- tions now+being made by professional prohibitionists on tho stump and in the press of Toronto is enough to brand them as false in the eyes of evary one who has been able to make his own ob- servations of the high license system operating in our state. Omaha is char- acterized as a modern Sodam. It is stated that for thirteen years the saloons of Omaha have been open on Sunday the same as any other day—a proposition of which it will be difficult to convince the saloon keepers who have gotten into trouble by attempting to violate the law. The assertion is boldly flaunted that the public conscience has been so debauched by high license that the peo- ple are willing to tolerate almost any infamy for the sake of gain, and the falsehood is backed up by an equally brazen falsehood that the social evil has been licensed and made to pay over $30,000 per annum to the sup- port of the schools. Inasmuch as the total fines turned into the school fund in 1892 were but $15,986, representing po- lice court receipts from all classes of offenders, the charge that the desire of revenue is at the bottom of our system of regulating the social evil is preposter- ous on its very face. If these misrepresentations were made merely by the gang ot prohibition tramps who invaded Nebraska while the campaign of 1800 afforded them suste- nance, and who migrated further as soon as they could no longer bleed the mis- guided people of our state, they could be readily identified as the reckless rav- ings of an irresponsible horde. But it is mighty poor business for any resident of Omaha to ongage in spreading these calumnies broadcast over the country. The pro- hibitionist who lives in Omaha and is led by his fanaticism to say in relation to our liquor laws that “‘there is not a semblance of enforcoment in the city today except in the collection of money” must be blinded to every sense of moval- ity and truth. A person who pretends to have had experienco in other cities of this country and writes that Omaha is Ye most disorderly city in the union” is simply preying upon the ignorance of his fur-away audience. Will the prohibitionists ever leave off raducing the people who have refused to accept their solution of the liguor problem? Will they ever conse their reckless assertions grounded on per- vorsion of facts and misrepresentation? It seems not. A cause which can wmuster to its support no more convine- ing argument than downright falsehood wmust be weak indeed. ONE important uspect of the arrest of Congressman McKeighan on the chargo of attempting to defraud the proprietor of a hotel to the extent of his board bill has not been brought into prominence and that is the fact that there is abso- lutely nothing that can hold the pris- oner under arrest were he inclined to resist. The federal constitution guaran- tees to all members of congress freedom from arrest while attending or going to and from the sessions of that body, ex- cept for treason, felony, or breach of peace. The accusation lodged against Cengressman McKeighan is for neither felony nor breach of peace. Taken most seriously, it charges nothing more than a misdemeanor. The con- gressional immunity from arrest has been construed quite liberally in its OMAHA DAILY BEE: application to include all reasonable delays and stdfis’ Jn going to and from the seat of gowersyment.
