The intro- duction of a bill is only the first step, and the halting of such measures on the very threshold is_a congressional move in the policy of delay that too conspicuously hampers that serious work which the people have a right to expect from the present gession. in this automobile-airship age the elec- The Kansas Tax Decision. trie kite flyer is a dead one.

When the Western Union appealed from the staté's effort to tax it as a condition precedent to doing business in Kansas, a similar at- titude toward commercial travelers and insurance companies had beep deter- miped as unwarranted interference with interstate commerce, and in the case of a common carrier like the West- ern Unjon there was the possibility that local exae¢tions might drive the corporation altogéther from the field. It may be that if & state required such a tax of its native corporations it might majntain_the right to exact it also from forelgn corporations; but if each state were to tax all forelgn char- ters, where would the burden end? If a 2 per cent tax, for jnstance, were legal, Why not 20? Such a privilege might be buljt up into a Chinese wall about & eomionwealth and interstate commercg completely shut out.

Successive announcements of big real estate deals looking toward sub- stanti; building improvements em- phasize the fact that Omaha is on the forward march and making strides such as never before made in the his- tory of the city. To an observer who tries to get these pending and impending changes in the city’s configuration in their proper per- spective it seems that the physical out- lines of the city are becoming definitely more fixed, that the business districts are becoming permanently established for retall and wholesale trade and that the lines of future development are be- coming deeply drawn. The jobbing district of Omaha has been determined by the location of rail. way trackage so essential to establish- ments that are constantly receiving and dispatching large shipments of goods. The retall distriot is being centered at the most important central accessible point and the permanent location of our financial institutions and large office buildings is likewise being grad- ually settled. There will, of course, be continued expansion and outspreading in various directions, but the first movement should be, and probably will be, the filling in of these central areas with solid and impressive buildings suitable to the purposes of their most effective use. The Omaha property owner, and the foreign capitalist, who falls in with this movement and helps push it along is bound to draw handsome returns in the inevitable future growth of Omaha. 0ld-Age Pensions, Because it is the first report of any such official investigation in this coun- try, the opinion filed in the state house at Boston by the Massachusetts com- mission on old age pensions, annu- ities and insurance is sure to attract general attentlon. The commission’ rejection of the British scheme of non- contributory pensions is so emphatic that the corollary comes as expected in the -unanimous advisement against the enactment of any general pension legislation by the commonwealth. Bills are submitted for the pensioning of public employes in state, counties, cities and towns, based on the contribu- tory system, with co-operative control, and the legislature is urged to make the old age commission permanent with a view to fostering retirement systems among the employers of labor. But for the state to attempt old age pensions is pronounced distinctly un-American. The semtiment in Massachusetts is therefore found to be largely that of the people elsewhere.

Gov- ernment support cannot take the place of individual responsibility, and it is a sign of independent spirit and strength of purpose that the people of the old commonwealth are able to stand sturdily alone without any such stipendiary prop. Some of the democratic papers are finding' fault because Secretary Royse of the State Banking board is drawing compensation at the increased rate fixed by the late democratic legislature notwithstanding the fact that the new banking law embracing the deposit guaranty feature, enacted by the same legislature, has not become operative. The real complaint of the democrats is that Secretary Royse has managed to hold on to the office as against the at- tempt of Governor Shallenberger to put a democrat in his place. ' If Gov- ernor Shallenberger's democratic ap- pointee were only drawing the salary attached to the banking board's secre- taryship, not a democratic paper would be peeping. s It will be noticed that the man who was the most punctual in the New York rallway service had thirty alarm clocks to rouse him; also that they gave him heart disease and killed him; which leads to the conclusion that l!zere may be too much time in the affairs of men.

Tt all grew out of Conklthg practically calling Blaine a thief, and ‘Blalie Fetorting that Conk- ling was a tarkey cock. Their followers most virulent animosity toward one am- other and the, breach was greatly widened when Blaine interposed to defeat the nom- ination of Grant in 1880 and gave the place to Gartield. Coukling might have folded his hands, as thousands expected him to do. In Sep- tember * Maine went democratic, and then it’ was that Conkling took command and restored the battle. Never was there so brilliant & eampaign in our history, and when the returns came in it was found that Conkling had elected to the presi- dency a man who was completely under the dominion, of his bitterest enemy, whom he hated with the cordiality of the very old horned devil himself. It the democrats are depending on the insurgents to elect the Bixty-second con- gress they would as well throw up the sponge right now. \ . \ Our Birthday Book Jeuuary 19, 1910, Bishop Johm+L.

The Nebraska wind blows not off spiced Islands or scented orange groves. It howls down Wind river valley and the only wave it dallies with on its way is that of the Platte, in which there is always more of quicksand than of insouciance. But, handicapped as it is, it has made volees to rival those of she Riviera itself, Across the divide between the Missouri river and the great bend of the Platte, this phenomena of nature is most manitest, There the Nebraska wind glp! to an an- nihflation of distancé In it&" cagerness to find that south where insouciance will be possible for It. It rages over Lincoln and storms above Beatrice, lying close together In its path. But out of Lincoln has come al volee musical enough to charm even a donkey and hold it charmed for lo, these many years. And now Beatrice has given to the world of song a Miss Mary Lasalle, just discovered In New York, to have a volce of that sweetness and power which warrant great impresarios in saying that she Is destined to shine, a star in the operatic world. “We lived in Beatrice,” says Miss Lasalle simply, “and we think sweetly, where the wind blows all the time, and where the jackrabbit, the coyote and the wheat flelds thriv, It is not always In sweet waves of sound, made by soft airs from troplc seas, steeped in the perfume of orange groves, that sweet voices are attuned. The howl of the coyote, borne upon a wind whieh never whispers and often roars, In a land in which nothing but the hardler grains can grow, can also .| nurture throats strung to perfect melody. Lincoln has proved It once. Beatrice, an hour's ride from Lincoln, and as much in the path of the Wind river wind, proves it now again. And history has repeated itself in more ways than one. It was In Chicago that the volce of Bryan of Lincoln first charmed the donkey. It was in Chicago, too, that Miss Lasalle first found a ca- pacious ear to hearken to her. Her musical success since then has been as great as has that of Mr. Bryan. Nobody now denies the fine quality of her voice, as nobody has ever denied the fine quality of his. She, like Mr. Bryan, can never be president, but she will, ltke him, charm multitudes with the music of her tones, and, Ifke him, she will make somebody pay for the music. She, like Bryan, can console herself for the Yoss of an empty bauble of a presi- dency, with guarantees, regardiess of the ate recelpts. Each of them commands our admiration. But together they command our pride and love as hurling back with scorn, and burying under an avalanche of proof, the old nder that effete foreign lands can make a better nolse than we cah make here.. Long live the Platte! Long live the Wind iriver valey! 1 ) CAL OF THE FAR Land Cultivation More Profitable Than City Jobm, Cleveland Leader. One great truth which stands out from all the tangle of fact and error and guess- ing and theorizing on the increased cost of living Is the comparative Immunity of those who live on farms from the worst effects of the rise in market values. Most of the food they eat is produced, or can easlly be produced, on thelr own land. They get it, or can get It, at cost price to the producer. Their shelter is found under roofs which are theirs, if they own thelr tarms. If not, the rent is very low, com- pared with the scale of living in cities and towns. The need of clothing is less, other things being equal, in the country than it is in the citles. ‘The temptations to spend money for many things are much nar- rowed. On the other hand, ‘the rise In food staples, the burden of which there is.most bitter complaint in cities and towns, in creases the farmer's chances of profits from his land and his labor. He makes money by the changes In values which cause the loudest grumbling in urban com- munities; great and . small. The food he consumes is only a very small fraction of the quantity which he sells. The higher grain and meats, eggs and poultry, milk and butter, fruit and vegetables, rise the greater his harvests are in thefr market value, It Is perfectly clear that however prone | the cities are to exaggerate the rewards of | agriculture the lot of the farmer, espe- |oally the farmer who tills his own land and works his farm, in large part, with | his own hands, is changing for the better. It he can make nothing more than a modest lIving now, he was certainly worse off a few years ago. It he was able to |clear a fair profit then he can do batter under existing conditions. The economic changes are much in favor of the land owner who manages his own farm, Meanwlifle, country lite galning in other ways. It is not so lonely as It used to be. The trolley cars have donc much |to Incrgase its soclabliity and widen its opportunities for, enjoyment. The. rural free dellvery system has helped greatly in the same direction. The telephone has probably been the most important of the agencles which have made the farm homes of America less isolated wnd -broadened thelr contact with the outside world. The gradual improvement In ecountry highways 18 also a powerful ald to happler and freer livipg-on the farms, and where an auto- mébile can be kept It adds to the farmer's freedom of movement and diversity of en- Joyment, In the lght of these facts, all of which are beyond dispute, Is not the call of the ountry strong enough to lead many strong nd capable men out of the struggles and | uncertaintics and strain of the citles to the comparative seeurity of liveilhcod and relative peace and calm of the farms?
