( . ¥ THE OMAHA DA ILY BEE: THURSDAY JUNE 27, 1901 HENNINGS HAS NEW SCHEME Prepmes Gradusted Business Tax se Bub- PRESENT SYSTEM SCHOOL OF PERJURY City Tremsurer's New Ildea on Tax- ation Will Be Subject for Discus- slon at Real Estate Exchange Meeting Next Wednesday. At its meeting next Wednesday the Real Estate exchange will consider a communica- tion from City Treasurer A. H. Hennings | concerning the abolishment of personal taxes In his letter Mr. Hennings states that the present system of personal taxation, as it | 1s administered, results in the debauchment | of the moral #ense of eitizens and is noth- ing short of a school of perjury. He main- tains that unjust burdens are imposed upon the man who Is scrupulously honest and upon the administrator of an estate, whose affalrs are a matter of record. “Citizens have come to consider the pay- ment of persofial taxes in about the same 1lght as gifts to a neighboring church or Sunday school,” says Mr. Hennings. “Per- sonal taxes aro a burden on the consclence of many and on the purses of a few. While the dlamonds and securities of wealthy persons lle hidden in safety deposit vaults the household goods of persons of limited means are in plain sight and bear the bur- den of personal taxation.” Sugmests Business Tax, Mr. Hennings suggests that a business tax be substituted for personal tax. The following schedule for taxes on sales Is submitted Annual Sales. $ 100to§ 5,000 6,000 to 10,000 10,000 to 20,000 20000 to 40, 000 to 60,000 80,000 60,000 to 0,000 o 100,000 100,000 to 200,000 400,000 200,000 to 400,000 to 600,000 800,000 to 1,000,000 1,000,000 t0 1,600,000 1,500,000 to 2,000,000 2,000,000 and over . . Such a tax might seem high on some com- merclal interests, but Mr. Hennings ex- plans that a tax of this description would raise at least a quarter of a million dol- lars more than Is raised under the present system and would consequently make a great reduction in the burden which real estato bears under the present system. Mr. Hennings also suggests a poll tax of $2 for éach voter in the city and sug- gosts that the collection of this tax would be asy, as the ballot could be denled men who fall to present a receipt for poll tax when they appear at election booths. ROOKERIES MUST COME DOWN Seven Frame Build Will Be molished by Inspector—En House to Be E Mills, Tax. . * [ 10 034 o4 De- At its meeting yesterday afternoon the advisory board instructed the city bullding inspector to tear down four frame dwellings at the corner of Twelfth and Davenport streats, two frame bulldings at the south- east corner of Twenty-fourth and Cuming streets and a llvery stable at Oallifornia and Fifteenth streets. |{Planwfor ' the enlargement of - No. 2 enging house, on Tenth street near the cor- ner of Farnam, were - discussed and the mayor advised that an addition be built to the house, that additional equipment and horses may be accommodated. The dangerous condition of the paving on North Sixteenth street was brought to the attention of the board and Mayor Moores stated that he will urge the council to take steps at once to put the street In safe comdition. City Engineer Rosewater sald that he would have filled the holes in the street with crushed stome or gravel had ‘thé council not ignored an estimate he made on the cost of repairing the street in_ a temporary manner, MUNICIPAL LEAGUE OFFICERS Committee of Reform Organization Mcets to, Dectde Upon Formal Recomm tiol There was a closed meeting yesterday noon,,of the committee appointed Monday ovenin§f by the Municipal league to select officers for the leagie, to be presented for the approval of the league at a meeting July 2.

The breakfast 1s perhaps the most im- portant meal of the day. Europeans usually oat a very light breakfast. Many Americans have stomach trouble because they eat too much or food of not the right sort for the morping meal. An ideal breakfast is a baked apple or some other fruit, a dish of Grape-Nuts Food with a little cream, and a cup of Postum Food Coffee. Leave offt all meat, hot biscuits, eto. Grape-Nuts and Postum both furnish the phosphate of potash together with other food elements that go %o make up brain and nerve centers as well us muscle and tissue, and both can be digested by the stomach of an infant. It Is the part of wisdom nowadays to use food especlally selected for nourish- ment and that can be easily digested. Ten days trial of this breakfast and you will feel as though you had “cleaned house." The exhilaration of bounding health 1s worth a hupdred times the small outlay of time Mod care in arranging such a break- tast. Mrs. Riley, 125 Chestout St., Camden, N. J., says she formerly breakfasted on chop: hot biscults and coffee. “After such a meal 1 would have severe pains and they would last sometimes far into the night.' She finally determined on a change in her diet and bhad for breakfast only Grape-Nuts Food and a little cream with Postum Food Coffee, She says, “In a very few days the intestinal trouble all disappeared. 1 have regalned my old-time weight, lost the irri- tabllity and nervousness, and life takes on a mew aspect. When [ feel a little exhausted in the day 1 simply drop everything and stir a spoonful of Grape-Nuts in a little cream or hot milk, and in ten minutes 1 have re- &ained my vigor and freshness.' Grape-Nuts Food !s best when served Just as it comes from the package without any cooking whatever. The food has al- ready been cooked ten or twelve hours in the process of manutacturing It When made up into puddiogs, ples and other ds serts it does not hurt it to be cooked again, but whem served simply as a breakfast food it should never be cooked. On the contrary Postum Coftee absolutely must be botled 15 or 20 minutes before the food value and flavor can be brought out. ———————————— South Omaha News ———————————————ree.

Lumber was being hauled yesterday for the erection of booths for the street farc along Twenty-fourth street and also on N street. As soon as the streets are washed carpenters will commence the erection of the booths. Some very protty designs for booths have been prepared and are on exhibition at the headquarters of the fair association. Manager Fred Rennor sald last evening that the arches would be put up today or tomorrow. Theso arches have been constructed in sections and can be placed in_position with little or no trouble. The electric wiring of streets and busi- ness houses is going on rapidly. Mer- chants are beginning to take hold of the matter In earnest now and it Is expected that the streets will bo lined with booths. There will be twelve free shows, to say nothing of other attractions Great preparations are being made for Governor's day. The Tenth United States Infantry, stationed at Fort Crook will at- tend and give an exhibition drill. The band of this famous regiment will also be here. While in the city Governor Savage und hie staff will be quartered at the South Omaha club. Hotel keepers expect a big rush of people and preparations are being made to entertain a big crowd. More Railroad Improvements. Councilmen Adkins and Johnston called upon General Manager Holdrege of the Burlington yesterday in relation to the fllling in of the ground east of the Bur- lington tracks near Thirty-sixth and L streets. The council desires to place this road 1n good condition and it cannot be done at this time unless considerable fill- ing is done. Dan Hannon looked over the work and agreed to do the recessary fill- ing for $320. The visit to Mr. Holdrege was for the purpose of asfertaining what pro- portion of the cost the Burlington would assume. Mr. Holdrege notified the councilmen that it would not be necessary to do any flling, as the road he represents proposes to place an underground crossing at the pgint in question just as soon as contracts can be let. This crossing is considered a very dangerous one and the change from a grade crossing to a tunnel will doubtless be ap- preciated by those who travel this route. At a rough estimate the tunnel will be not less than 400 feet in length and will have easy, approaches at both the east and west ends It is understood that the reason for this tunnel is that the Burlington proposes to lay in a number of tracks on the prop- erty it owns adjacent to the right of way. At least ten additional storage and switch- ing tracks will be put in. According to Manager Holdrege this work is to com- mence soon as arrangements can be completed. Ak-Sar-Ben. Travel from §t.

A levy of 60 mills on the val $2,500,000 begins to look awfully big to the taxpayers and the city officlals are now figuring in an attempt to cut the levy down to 55 mills. One item in the pro- posed annual levy s for $5,000, to be used for the maintenance of a library. As there seems to be no immediate prospect of Mr. Andrew Carnegle erecting a $50,000 11- brary in South Omaha, this item will doubt- less be stricken from the roll. Some of the members of the library board want to use this $5,000 for the purpose of a site in- stead of voting bonds and them trust to Providence and a few charitably inclined persons to furnish money to maintain the bullding for a year and supply it with books. This plan is not favored by the council and the chances are that no levy for library intenance will be made until there i some sure sign of a library belng erected. No Special Bond Election. It has been virtually decidad by the municipal authorities to hold no special election this summer to vote general in- debtedness bonds to take care of the overlap of $40,000. This plan was pro- posed some time ago, but when the mem- bers of the council came to figure the expense of a special election the idea ‘was abandoned. It 1s the intention now to pay the overlap out of the 1901 levy. Ac- tion of this kind will take care of the overlap for another year and this has been deemed best by those in authority.
