Time to Push for That Pipe Line. If conditions are correctly reported in the item we reproduce on this page from the Boston News Letter, the time is ripe for revival of the several times planned project for a pipe line from Wyoming to Omaha. Ever since the exis- tence &f oil in Wyoming was made known, when the territory was first thrown open, The Bee has held up the prospect of making Omaha eventu- ally the outlet for its refining and marketing, and the development, so long retarded, seems now to have been begun in earnest and to be at last proceeding at a rapid pace. The advantages of piping the Wyoming oil at least to the Missouri river, as soon as the volume of the output war- rants, are recognized by the oil men, especially where it would be, as in this case, practically a gravity flow the entire distance, with but little pumping. A What the building of a pipe line from the Wyo- ming fields would mean to Omaha need hardly e expatiated on, The successful execution of such a project would give this city an impetus as an industrial center which nothing else could do, and we know of no other plan for the ad- vancement of Omaha's material interests that will so well repay a serious effort on the part of our business organjza(ions to bring it to a head and expedite its completion. Three Hundred Thousand Strong. With over 302,000 votes cast at the last elec- tion, forecasters in Nebraska have a new prob- lem before them. The total vote in 1912 was 249,000, and in 1914 it was 238,000, facts which led the home prognosticators to estimate the vote for 1916 at around 275,000. The event showed them as wide of the jnark on this as on other features of the election. The outpouring of bal- lots, beyond any experience, shows the uncom- mon interest taken in the election. Issues novel and important were presented to the voters, so that considerable fervor for voting was engen- dered, but many were only concerned in one or another of several, as the disparities in totals will disclose. It is strange that, where the voters were asked to make a choice between candidates for high offices and on issues that were sharply defined, so many should give evidence of no lack of intereht sufficient to lead them to vote, and yet refrain from completely marking their bal. lots. The analysis of the vote will afford much occupation for the political students of the state, and will also give a new basis for future calcula- tions, S—— Control of Interstate Waters. The federal court of appeals sitting at Den- ver has handed down a decision affirming the right of senior claimants in Nebraska to use of the waters of streams flowing across the state line from Colorado. The justice of this is ap- parent, but junior claimants had set up a claim of state priority over the waters in controversy, necessitating the suit. It is a most important point in irrigation, the application of which is vital to the development of reclamation enter- prises. The irrigator falls without the common law provision that the user must return the water to the stream undiminished in volume and un- affected as to quality. He applies the water to such uses as preclude its return, and therefore must have a different rule to govern him, The establishment of the principle of priority without regard to state lines affords this rule. The_court has sustained the position taken by The Bee many years ago, when it urged federal control of the great reclamation projects of the west. This paper has always contended that the work is such as generally exceeds the capacity of private enterprise, and that it involves so much of interstate relations that it can be done better by the gencral government, which alone has the means and the authority, The success of great undertakings set’afoot by the reclamation service of the United States has vindicated the stand of The Bee, while the predicament in which pri- vate ventures often land through failure to ob- serve the rule is shown in the case just ter- minated. The principle, well written into faw, and firmly upheld, will aid in developing irrigation because of the stability it lends. \ Importance of the Newlands Inquiry. The joint congressional committee under the chairmanship of Senator Newlands has com- menced one of the widest and most far-reaching investigations ever undertaken by the government. In outlining its purpose, Senator Newlands ex- plained the scope of the inquiry as comprising the entire range and all the ramifications of the transportation industry in the United States. Not only this, but its bearings on the external rela- tions of the country are to be given considera- tion in connection with other phases of the prob- fem, the end sought being dual. First, the com- mittee will undertake to make recommendations as to the future of the industry, whether it will be under strict regulation or government owner- ship. Second, to formulate plans for proper co- ordination of all the elements of land“and water service, that public as well as private interests in peace and war alike may be completely con- served, The value of this broad inquiry wil finally depend on its thoroughness. At the out- set the committee has encountered a reluctance on part of witnesses to give testimony, but this should be overcome. Sooner or later the gov- ernment must have the facts, in order that proper procedure may be determined. If the Newlands inquiry does not bring out the information re- quired, another will, for the movement now under way must be carried through to a definite con- clusion. — Belated returns show the defeat of the South Dakota primary law requiring presidential candi- dates to debate in the state. Unless future can- didates voluntarily do a turn on the stump South Dakotans must accept the interpretations of local vocalists or march to the polls with souls bereft of uplifting music. The land and horse race crooks who pleaded guilty to the charge of swindling rich farmers in Jowa, no doubt faced the penalties of the crime with smiling-resignation. The presence of seventeen attorneys, all’ dolled up and nothing to do, furnished just enough pathos to moderate the humor tendencies of the crooks. —— Buncombe county, North Carolina, upset G. 0. P. expectations in the Tenth congressional district and turned what seemed a sure thing into defeat. The case is not exceptional, however, Buncombe infected the south and west and laid the mighty low. 53 .\ Valley Enterprise: Development of Wyoming Oil Boston News Letter A capitalist who has just returned from the Wyoming oil fields says to the Boston News bureau: ; “Development of the Wyoming oil fields is becoming very rapid. In 1912 these fields turned out 1,246,000 barrels; in 1913, 2,409,000; 1914, 3,520,000; 1915, 4,212,000, and this year the pro- duction will be over 8,000,000 barrels. Most re- markable strides are being made in drilling and outputting, and the larger factors in the oil in- dustry are coming suddenly to realize that they must take note of Wyoming, for there is no other territory in the United States making so remark- able a showing except Oklahoma and California. “Nothing except the top sands have so far been' tapped in an important way in Wyoming, and geological and oil experts agree that not more than 3 per cent of available oil has been extracted, “Aside from a less rigid policy as regards land withdrawals by the eral government, a pipe line is very desirable. This would provide a better market for Wyoming oil. ; “It is probable that such a-line will be built, 600 miles from Salt Creek to Omaha, within a couple of years, following an adjustment of fed- eral regulations. With railroad facilities alone, not less than 35,000 cars or, say, 280,000,000 gal- lons, of raw and refiped Wyoming oil are this year being shipped in tank cars; and production is increasing by leaps and bounds. Within a month the Midwest Refining company alone has contracted for sale to one of the European bellig- erents of 20,000,000 gallons of gasoline. “Wyoming undoubtedly presents the greatest single weapon in this country for solving the gasoline question, because of the gasoline con- tent of Wyoming oil. By reason of the relative lack of competition for Wyoming oil, and the absence of pipe-line facilities for its cheap trans- portation, it at present brings not much over 90 cents per barrel, while Pennsylvania crude com- mands $2.60 per barrel. But Pennsylvania crude carries only 20 per cent gasoline content, while a great deal of Wyoming oil has been found to have 40 to 50 per cent gasoline content. “At present the refining company with the largest single output in Wyoming 1s the Midwest, which is estimated to have over 450,000,000 bar- rels of indicated oil untapped in Salt Creek alone. Midwest Refining's earnings this year will exceed $7,000,000 net. A large part of them have been put into purchase of $2,425,000 par of the $2,500,000 outstanding preferred stock of the Greybull Refining company, which latter company will be merged with Midwest Refining. “Midwest Refining's 400,000 shares, par $50 each, are at present on an 8 per cent dividend basis, an increase of 4 per cent per annum since February. There is quite a wide distribution of the company's shares among New England investors. Of the outstanding issue, 126,000 shares arc owned in France, and their owners there have refused $100 per share at least three times within the last five months.” To Make Marriage Endurable 1.

The Bee held on like grim death to the last mo- ment., Fairbury News: The Omaha Eee attributes the election of Hitchcock and Neville to “their alliance with the wets.” With the wets around about 25,000 in the minority, we fail to see just where that could have proven a benefit to them. But we have ceased to speculate upon the late lamented election returns. The more we study them the deeper becomes our confusion. The people of Nebraska may have known just what they wanted to do, but sometimes we doubt it. The Omaha Bee com- plains because there will not be a single Omaha man in the service of the clected state govern- ment at Lincoln after January 1. Omaha itself is much to blame for this condition of things for it has always been against the rest of the state on the wet and dry proposition and has thus built up a state prejudice against it. Now that Omaha's pet liquor dealers are eliminated from the game, perhaps it may heal that long standing breach. Albion Argus: The Albion schools did not close to permit the teachers to atténd the state teachers meeting at Omaha last week. Many school districts in the state refused to permit the schools to be dismissed and compel the pupils to break in on their studies. It would cost Albion about $150 a day and the county about $2,000 a day to close down for this annual meeting. The state association is simply a teachers union to de- vise plans for the benefits of the teachers in various ways, including advance in salaries. The peet- ings were formerly held during summer or holi- day vacations, but during the past few years, the Omaha Commercial club has influenced the hold- ing of the meetings at the opening of winter and treat the teachers to a series of theater, picture and burlesque shows and otherwise show courtesies to get the meeting there at the time the merchants rcap the best harvest in selling seasonable raiment to the “school ma'ams.” A very small attendance was registered from Albion and the absent teachers were “subbed” by young high school girls who filled in the time.

Omaha, Nov. 21.—To the Editor of The Bee: A few days ago 1 read in the columns ¢of your paper a letter signed by A. B. Mickle, and since then a number of answers from va-| rious subscribers. | Personally I regard sald A. B. Mickle as a first-class joker, and he| must certainly have many a laugh| when reading his answers. However, | his statement about being boss of | the house and doing the buying might | not be a bad idea in some homes, but | in the majority, thank goodness, it isn’t necessary. I do most of the buying in my home, not from necessity not that I am boss, as there is no boss (we are all partners), but because I work downtown and can buy there as I come home from work to better advantage than I can in the smaller stores near home. - I also buy in large quantities such staples as sugar, potatoes, flour, canned goods, etc.; also fuel in the fall when such things are more-rea- sonable than in small quantities later in the winter, and find it possible to live quite good on $12 a week, and there are five in my\ family. I earn $21 ‘a week and have not lost an hour for over three years ex- cept on account of legal holidays. Next spring I hope to buy a home of my own, paying the savings I now have in the bank and going in debt for the balance. I hope to have gardeh and a few chickens to help keép down the high cost of living, and while I don’t believe any one could live as Mickle claims to, I do think the aver- age workman could live decently and also lay by a little for a rainy day if they really tried. D. THOMAS. ‘Wilson and Socialism, Omaha, Nov. 20.—To the Editor of The Bee: Imagine my surprise, and as well other socialists’, to read in The Bee President Wilson, in his ad- dress to the visiting American Fed- eration of Labor delegates, and amongst whom was Samuel Gompers, acknowledged the class struggle with its various class distinctions. Sam- uel Gompers has repeatedly denied the existence of classes and of the class struggle and so has democratic as well as republican papers. He wants to abolish class lines, struggles, ete.,, and establish social and economic Jjustice among the American people— ! a very laudable idea—but he does not know how to accomplish it, or at least he offers no remedy, which causes thinking people to question his sin- cerity, and I for one do question the sincerity of any capitalist politician who has nothing but well sounding and meaningless phrases and plati- tudes to offer in lieu of actions. Classes have always existed and the class struggle has continued and will continue as lgng as one man, or group of men, own the tools which another has to use by which he lives, and until rent, interest and profit is abolished. In no other way can it be done. No politician, nor set of politicians, can free the worker from wage slavery. The worker must do it himself. Education and organi- | zation is the hope of the working class. The socialist party feels proud, how- ever, that a capitalist president has confourtded the enemies of the work- ing class, who have denied the class struggle, even though it was done through ignorance of its consequence. JESSE T. BRILLHART, 1332 South Twenty-first Street. A Trifie Sarcastic. Bedford, Ia., Nov. 21.—To the Editor of The Bee: I read the let- ter from “A. B. Mickle,” where he states that he got a bargain of fifty pounds of oatmeal that had weevils in it for 45 cents. He also states that cooking kills the weevils. Now, I suppose Mickle has his wife cook up the oats at once. Does'he not know that by saving them he could help cut down his high cost of living? I bet he has never stopped to realize that the weevils increase each day. By good old summer time, when “oat- meal is at its best,” he would have a nice littie bunch of fat little weevils. Then for their evening meal, instead of buying 20 cents worth of cheese a week to eat for supper, they could make oatmeal soup—which takes one gallon of water, two spoonfuls of sand, one cup of oatmeal, “including the weevils,” let come to boiling point, but do not let boil, as that spoils the delicious flavor of the weevils. 1 have certainly cdt down the high cost of living since’I have taken the family buying into my hands.

Omaha, Nov. 21.—To the Editor of The Bee: Herewith a few lines on a pertinent topic: A person named Mickle Saved many a nickel By a diet well balanced with weovils But his wife might have said, When his daughter had fled, That she chose the“least of two eviis ’ While meat prices are steep, “Alisday suckers” are cheap, And this masterful person named Mickle Should have made out a check, And paid for a whole peck, Thus wisely investing & nickel.

There would be no chance for greed, No fires they would need, And for cheese, not even a nickel. And I'm making a guess That prosperity would bless 'he bankbook of bountiful Mickle. —W. ~—— e ‘What the Press Association Almed At. Geneva, Neb, Nov. 21.—To the Editor of The Bee: A headline and a portion of the report of the meeting of the Nebraska Press association held in Lincoln in The Bee are seriously misteading. Possibly the report was gathered from hearsay after the foot ball game. For instance, reporters are classed with the big fish and not with the small fry. There was only one point of contention in reality. The con- stitutional amendments -were drawn to create a voting membership that would pay $5 or $10 per year to pay the sal- ary and expenses of a field secretary and other operating expenses of the association and a non-voting member- ship that would include everybody who wished to enjoy the social and other features not connected with the actual operation of.the business department of the association. A, few gentlemen residing in the city of Lincoln made loud protests against any proposal that seemed like- ly to keep them from helping to the show and they also \ protested against paylng more tham the present nominal dues' of $2 per year for the privilege of having full voting power. They said they were not situated so that the employment of a field secre- . tary. would be of financial benefit to them and this was conceded. The work of a field secretary is to take out to the country publishers the benefits of organization and helpful co-opera- tion that the city men are able to get in other ways. It was felt that the city men ought not to object to the country publishers trying to benefit their condition in any way they thought most effective. However, there was an earnest desire to secure harmony and please everybody and hurt the feelings of no one, and the proposal to create the kind of a non- voting membership that was'first pro- posed was withdrawn by cémmon con- sent. There was also a disposition on the part of everybody favoring the field secretary plan to work out a schedule of annual dues that would permit all of the old members to vote without increasing the cost to them, even though they might reside in the cit- ieq and have no financial interest in the success of the field secretary's . work, but this was prevented by the lateness of the hour and the clam- orous objections of the small group of city men. I still fayor doing this. The executive committee was instruct- ed to codify the new constitution and submit a report and recommendations at the meeting next February, and I believe it will be possible to secure harmonious action on the part of the whole membership. The statement in your report that the executive committee has power to ' fix dues is a mistake. The schedulg adopted is exactly the same as the original schedule in Iowa—$5 for the smaller towns and $10 for the larger towns as annual dues. The _Jowa schedule has been slightly amended so that papers with unusually large circulations published in small towns will pay a little extra. The vitally important thing in this whole consid- eration is the fact that the field sec- retary plan has proved a wonderful success in Towa for the last two years, and that thé Nebraska country pub- lishers want to try the same plan in this state and co-operate with their lowa brethren in some matters that are of very great importance at this time.
