Having evidently at last heard from his boss in Washington, the World-Herald man essays an answer to The Bee's article of a week ago expos- ing the dishonesty of Senator Hitchcock's pro- posed special tax on foreign owned stocks and bonds sent here to be disposed of. The Bee showed plainly that this scheme is tantamount to a scaling or repudiation, in the percentage of the tax, of debts owed to foreign investors who loaned us money to develop our industries; that the stocks or bonds are merely the security for these debts, and that confiscating one per cent or two per cent of the investment, in the guise of a tax, is no different in essence from confiscat- ing ten per cent, or twenty per cent or fifty per cent. The answer of Senator Hitchcock’s paper (we give it in full in another column of this page) is that when a foreigner sends his stocks and bonds back, he is selling his “property” just the same as if he sent merchandise, and is properly subject to an extra tax. But, this is not true, for the stocks and bonds are not property in the same sense as merchandise but, as we have said, are merely security for money already here which, in what- ever form invested, is being taxed the same as domestic holdings by our property taxes and cor- poration income taxes. The senator, in his explanation, is particularly careful to cite, as his example, American stocks and bonds owned by “English investors” forced to exchange them for “British government bonds” to help finance the “British” war budget. His reference to English investors and to British gov- emMiment methods is merely part of the game he has been playing for the German vote, which he needs so badly, but here he misses the target be+ cause his proposed tax would hit German inves- tors and would confiscate German-owned invest- ments in this country in the same degree that it would British investments. The truth is, large amounts of American industrial stocks and bonds are held abroad by people living in countries which are not at war at all—in Holland, in Swit- zerland, in Denmark, in Sweden—and the pre- tense that we are justified by the war, or by the way the British government treats its subjects, in confiscating part of the money loaned us from neutral countries with’ whom we are on wholly friendly terms, will not go with any thinking per- son, There is no danger that Senator Hitchcock’s dishonest scheme will be enacted into law, but, if it were, its chief effect would be to close the door on us for floating any more of our securities abroad. We repeat that this proposal differs only in a degree from that other famous demo- cratic “cure-all” that was to enable us to pay off hundred-cent debts with depreciated fifty-cent silver dollars. e— Extending Our List of “Days.” A committee of eminent eastern gentlemen has succeeded in arousing interest to the end that “Lafayette day” is to be observed more or less generally and with some ado throughout the United States. These promoters hope to make this a fixture, and that September 6 of each year will be added to our growing list of “days.” With no intention to review the motive behind this, nor to waver in recognition of the eminent services to freedom and America given by Lafayette, we are moved to wonder where this will end. Other heroes of the revolution were quite as devoted as was this gallant Frenchman, and perhaps as de- serving of the honor that is to be paid him. After them comes a considerable list of men and women whose names are indissolubly connected with the history of their country, and for whom the same distinction may be as reasonably required. Some- time we may reach a point swhere the year will (ODAY Thought Nugget for the Day.

More obscuration is cast over the process of railroad rate making by the inability of the Ne- braska lines to agree as to just what tariffs they will promulgate under the order of the Interstate Commerce commission, which supersedes Order No. 19 of the Ncbraska Railway commission, The whole trafilporn.tion industry is under the maze built up by the rate “experts,” who have erected a fabric at times beyond even their own'campre- Iil, before he came to Omaha, where he has been practicing law since 1885, .

High license is no solution for the problem of getting rid of the liquor | traffic. . When we began regulating the liquor bhusiness we were consum- ing twelve and one-half gallons on an average to each individual, but ncw Wwe consume cn an average of twen- ty-four gallons to the individual, After thirty-five years of this kind of progress we have very little evi- dence that the liquor business is be- ing closed out under a high license system.

The licensed salocn is a menace to manhood and womanhood—it is the foster mother of bootleggers, houses of ill fame, gambling dens, liars and sometimes—ah, too bad-—Prosperity leagues. Shame on the men who are at the head of our state in a finan- clal way—a political way that will lend their support to the breweries and licensed saloons. 1 say lend their support—it 18 not a gift—and if it were not in some way—in the future to fill their coffers, many of them would refrain from such disgraceful business. CHARLES HODGES, Guide Rock, Neb, Any sane person can see prohibi- tion does rhore harm than any law ever passed. Taxes are going up on everything; the poor workingman has to pay more rent and he gets less ‘wages under prohibtion and we have no protection at all. If the voters will only make up this fall prohibition preachers will have to hunt other Jobs. It is all 'wrong and the poor people have to pay for ice cream for a lot of lazy highbrows. Prohibition is a good thing for moonshine and bootleggers. L. C. PETERSEN. Lincoln, Neb. The question of .absolutely prohib- iting has nothing to do with the case. The question is whether a state is made better, healthier, happier, safer, more prosperous by prohbition than by saloons? If thé fact that prohibi- tion does not absolutely prohibit is an argument against outlawing the sa- loon, why isn't the fact that regula- tion utterly fails to regulate a stronger ‘argument in favor of prohibition? .

If the predicament of the Nebraska lines at this time argues anything, it I} in favor of a single central control for the formulation and promulgation of rates. With an established basis for calculation, a standard for classification and a determination that uniformity must prevail, the fixing of reasonable tariffs ought to be a sim- ple matter of arithmetic. It may come to a point in time where even a shipper can understand a railroad tariff sheet, and then the day of the rate specialist will be over. In the meantime the pub- lic pays the freight. & As to the Recognition of Huerta, Secretary of War Baker, who has been requisi- tioned as a special pleader for the, udministption, undertakes to defend the Mexican policy of President Wilson by stating that President Taft had refused to recognize Huerta. This ingenuous evasion looks like a deliberate attempt to deceive, Huerta succeeded to the presidency of Mexico but-ten days before the end of Taft's administra- tion. , The assassination of Francisco Madero occurred after Huerta had taken 'office. The re- publican president was then busy with winding up the affairs of his office, and he left the Mexican matter open that his democratic successor might not be embarrassed in dealing with the situation. It is idle for the democrats to undertake to excuse the blunder of the president, if they are now ready to admit it to be a blunder, by at- tempting to put the blame on his republican pre- decessor. What excuse can be found for Mr. Wilson's really vital blunder in removing the embargo on arms? Herein he not oply declined to follow the course of his predecessor, but ig- nored the advice of O'Shaughnessey, our official representative, who knew and took counsel with John Lind, who could only guess. Professing to keep hands off, the president has from the very first meddled and muddled in Mexican affairs, and the whole ghastly mess is the result of in- | competence in handling a serious situation. | \ i | How old is he?” Timely Jottings and Reminders.

WILLIAM WRAGE. ‘When the prohibition argument is examined it can be seen that it is directed against wine and beer as well as whiskey, but there are constant charges made that the prohibtionists are fighting “the liquor trade” and “fighting whisky,” when, as a matter of fact, this is not true; they are fighting thé customs of temperate people, who have nothing to do with the liquor traffic; this is a species of dishonesty and is the same gs coming into a court of equity with dirty hands. If the prohibtionists would conduct an honest campaign for the elimination of strong alcoholic drinks and drop the campalign against sich wholesome and non-injurious drinks like wine and beer they would make more progress, but they gain nothing by misstatements. GEORGE A. GRAHAM. Valentine, Neb. There is not a law In existence that is not broken by someone every day. There {8 a law against treating In sa- loons in this state, yet I will waegr that not one saloon keeper out of 100 in Nebraska follows that law. Nearly all of them sell liquors to mi- nors and to drunken people. Many of them keep open practically all night and after hours. They are themselves to blame for the high tide of prohibition in the country today, for they do not obey the laws and their announced intention to disobey the law in case prohibition carries in this state instead of making votes against prohibition only makes the certainty of the prohibition amend- ment carrying in Nebraska this fall all the more certain, Omaha. F. A. AGNEW. ‘While not all prohibitionists are Christians and all Christians are not prohibitionists, it is yet true that the prohibition movement is essentially a church affair. Church people— meaning particularly the preachers— lock upon the saloon as the rival of the church. They are jealous; they are cov- etous, It hurts their feelings that the great mass of men find more pleasure and profit in the spirits dis- pensed by the white-aproned gentle- men behind the bar than they find in the spirits they themselves some- times try to dispense from their pul- pits.
