Will it save the people money? Those are the tests that should be applied to every measure submitted in the present legislative session. For the next three months the Nebraska legislature will be in session at Lincoln. In that time much may be done for the people, but nothing is more important than the reduction of the tax burden. It is safe to say that not one of the newly elected state officials but advocated lower taxes in his campaign for election. This is a pledge that must be fulfilled. Ours is a good-humored popula tion, and now that the heat of Governor Bryan’s campaign has cooled, most of us are ready to admit all the time that we were aware that there was a certain amount of exaggeration in his promises to cut the expenses of government. One of the targets in this campaign was the code system. Now that the time has come to get down to brass tacks, the question to be considered is whether any changes proposed in this form of organization will reduce costs or save the people’s money by adding to the efficiency of their govern ment. Any plan to alter this form of administra tion should be accompanied by a clear statement of its advantages to the public pocketbook. No net gain can be shown through the process of merely changing the name of an office. For in stance, Governor Bryan let it be known during the campaign that the system of law enforcement under the state sheriff was wasteful. Whatever citizens may have thought as to the advisability of abolish ing this department, at all events they looked for a saving when the new government took hold. How ever, the announcement that the office'Of state sher iff has been abolished is closely followed by the news that Thomas W. Carroll has been appointed to a new office to be known as that of “chief deputy enforcement officer.” Though Mr. Carroll is only a deputy under the governor, his salary will be 13,000, the same as that of the old state sheriff. Mr. Carroll will maintain the same downtown of fices, ride in the same state automobile and be free to engage as many detectives as did the late state sheriff. Up to this time there has been no evidence of any economy in the new state government. Hardly one of the bills thus far introduced in the legisla ture but will add new expense, new taxes or new functions. The truth, at which so many failed to look in the past, seems to be that it costs just so much to carry on a government, and that unless some serv ice is sacrificed, it will be almost impossible to make any such cut in the state’s exepenses as was prom ised before election. CABINETS HERE AND ABROAD. So frequent have overturns of entire cabinets been in Europe of late that no great interest is evoked in America by the resignation of a single portfolio. Secretary Fall goes out of office without any flurry, just as Postmaster General Hays went out a year before. If an entire American cabinet resigned, as often happens abroad, then would we feel our foundations shake. Foreign peoples take these matters more calmly. France soon may see the downfall of the Poincare ministry, with an entire reversal of domestic and foreign policy. England only% recently has had a complete change, Lloyd George’s cabinet stepping out and Bonar Law’s stepping in. Though there are many Americans who feel that our system of na tional government is not responsive enough to the waves of popular opinion, yet it can not be seen where any great gain is made by the European sys tem. In. France, for instance, Poincare dare not mod erate his tactics for fear of being thrown out of office. No one knows what is the opinion of the French people, but the politicians in parliament have the prime minister at their mercy. One after the ether premiers have fallen in Paris since the war. Each lost his power through inability to handle the question of reparations. The French president has no power, and the cabinet is under the complete control of parliament. The nearest approach to such a condition in the United States was the attempt by a few congress men to impeach Attorney General Daugherty. Thus far, however, the administrative and legislative branches of the American government retain their separate identity. The parliamentary system of Europe, by which ministers are daily called to ac count before the popular assembly may have some advantages, but it is the disadvantages that are most apparent just now. THE TOMBOY. There is no questioning the fact that she is a “tomboy.” She rides the dump swing with her brother, or with agility that matches his, climbs the tallest trees or scales- the back fence with him. She - ia an expert at “hooking a ride” on any pawing ve hicle, and her brother proudly declares that ahe can outplay half the boys in the neighborhood in a shin ney game. Yet you have seen her leave her play to care for an injured dog or a frightened kitten, and today you found her weeping bitterly over a little sparrow that someone had killed and left on the sidewalk. The other children laughed at the thought of grief for a despised sparrow, but Tomboy’s heart was broken for the little life that was so carelessly taken. Ten derly she buried it under the apple tree where it had played so happily, and deaf to the entreaties of her companions, ahe remained indoors all the morning, a silent and thoughtful “tomboy.” Yea, she is a tomboy, just now, but when life lays upon her shoulders the responsibility it has in store for all who walk its paths, she will meet it with a smile and a strength of character tempered all the finer for the glhd, rollicking days of her tomboy girl hood. If that girl who robbed her employer's store had done a little bit of thinking in advance, she would - not ba doing so much weeping now. BRITISH PLEA FOR "SQUARE DEAL.” One or two of the points made by Commissioner Baldwin, in stating the British case to the debt funding commission, are worthy of consideration. First will be that which restates the plea that the money borrowed by Great Britain was spent for supplies in America. This has been set up before, and with the same accompanying explanation that the English and F’rench were fighting our battle tor two and one-half years befor* we went into the war. Against this may be offset the fact that Great Britain collected considerable sums for transport service, furnished the United States after we did go into the war. Likewise, the French very care fully looked after the matter of keeping track of all that was furnished the A. E. F. and sending in a bill for the same. On this point the deal seems square enough. Mr. Baldwin’s discussion of markets, now and for the future, will not greatly impress Americans. Lord Leverhulme long ago told us the British might make our typewriters and automobiles for us, at least till the debt was paid, but he did not say what the Yankee workmen would be doing in the mean time. As to what Great Britain gained in the matter of territory from the war, such statements will serve to throw a stronger light on the fact that the United States gained nothing in land. If the British have been put to considerable expense by mandates, it is also true they have incurred some extensive ex penditures by reason of inept policy. A little more of wisdom and a little less of greed in dealing with Mesopotamia, Turkey and F*ersia, might have spared a few millions to be applied on account in America. Mr. Baldwin will find that a square deal will cheerfully be given in this matter, and that the two greatest democracies of the world will come to gether in settlement of this as they have in case of other difficulties. He will also find that the way will be cleared by ‘‘coming clean,” and putting all the cards on the table, face up. POKER PLAYERS ON PAROLE. Los Angeles continues to lead the world in the way of the unexpected. Her latest contribution to the astonishment, if not the gaiety, of the universe is to locate a “poker party” at a private residence, where thirty players were arrested. Up this way that would take on the form of “some party,” but out there, where things grow big and our little geranium plants attain the size of trees, thirty poker players in one party may be the rule. This is not the main point, however. The judge before whom the group was arraigned paroled them on the condition that each report to his wife his in comings and outgoings for the next thirty days. If he plays poker, he must tell her all about it. Maybe the judge is a poker player himself, and maybe he is a married man, but the chances are that he is neither. Omaha has one or two seasoned poker players who also are married, and they will be enabled to envision what is contained in the judge’s sentence. One who has experienced the conversation of the average amateur votary of the great American game will have little trouble in realizing how some faithful wives wilj suffer when listening to the husband tell of the good hands he missed, the bad hands he backed, the bluffs he made and the bluffs he lost on, and so forth. Nothing possibly could be more dreary, “flat, stale and unprofiable,” than the post facto review of the average poker party. On the other hand, the judge may have recently read the Riley poem to the Rain Crow. “If you’ll just stop, I’ll rain,” was the voice that came down in response to the everlasting rasp from the forks of the old maple tree, and it is conceivable the Los Angeles wives will come to tell their husbands they may play poker as much as they like if only they will not come home and talk about it. Those Council Bluffs marauders, who plunged the city into darkness that they might plant “stink bombs” in moving picture theaters, escaped death from their foolhardiness, but the law will surely give them something to think about when caught. Pleading for a “square deal,” the British ask for an extension of credit. Having had the goods, and being unable to pay for them, it is probable that John Bull will get what he asks. An Iowa preacher donned overalls to get a crowd to his church. Once upon a time folks went to church to hear a sermon, not to see monkeyshines. Douglas county men got away good on the com mittee lists at Lincoln, and it will now be up to them to reciprocate by doing the state service. Credit men are going to discuss their problems again. Thought it was the fellow without credit who had the problem. A $40,000,000 will that can get by without a fight in court will be worth recording. Oregon is accustomed to heavy rains, but knows where to draw the line. It is not how fast a dollar goes, but how far that counts. A Look Ahead ■■ ■ From the Cincinnati Tinies-Star. -- ■ — The first comprehensive effort t« awaken the rising generation to the need for conserving our natural re sources must be credited to the Smithsonian Institution in Washington. The institution has prepared a hand hook for the study of the Whole subject in the schools of Pennsylvania, a state in which nature deposited prodigious Wealth. These riches are now being dissi pated at a frightful rate. Ultimately they will disap pear unless those who are to take the helm later on learn to save. The Smithsonian Institution will try to teach the youth of Pennsylvania the danger of waste, and the value of thrift, lessons which should not, by any means, be confined to any one state. We are & nation of wasters, perhaps because we do not realize that. our resources are limited. This is one of the things to be taught in the new handbook. Having implanted comprehensive knowledge along this line, the institu tion is to teach the you how millions of dollars In money and millions of tons in products may be saved in such processes as the making of coke, in the mining of coal, the making of steam, the use of water power, in flood prevention, in the use of timber, iron, lime, cement, oil, and so on. If the rising generations apply the lessons contained in this very practical handbook, Pennsylvania’s gain will be inestimable. What is annually wasted, thrown away. In the I. nited States is almost beyond calculation. Along this line, Arthur D. Little, a leading chemical engineer, rounded up some startling figures, which he published in a recent issue of Collier's. He says that suppression of waste In just four commodities, coal, natural gas, yellow pine and cereal straw, for a period of five years only, would save enough money ta pay off our whole war debt, and leave the country in auch a position that no man would be poor unless he was determined to be so. This is a startling statement. But perhaps startling •tatements are needed to change us from the most wasteful people on earth to one possessing a reason able sense of our responsibilities to the future. A “From State and Nation” —Editorials from Other Newspapers— _ - _ — - - ----- — — Huge New Ford Project*. rn.ro tb* St. Louli Globe-Dtmocut. | To hie former purchase of the Dex car coal mine in West Virginis, with an output of 600.000 tons of excellent coal a year, Henry Ford has added the purchase of the Pond Creek mine in Kentucky, with an output of 900, 01)0 tons a year. He has thus ob tained a roal supply more than ade quate to his Detroit requirements of 1,200,006 tong a year and brought nearer the fulfillment of his plan for an extension of activities enabling hint to furnish virtually all important raw materials for his motor plants. To his former acquisitions in large timber acreage in upper Michigan he has also added much new acreage. The capacity oT his Detroit, Toledo & Iron ton railroad, originally purchased for coal carrying, is to be increased by double tracking and substitution of electricity for steam ss motive power. He has enormous coke ovens in the vicinity of Detroit and his electric plants there will be enlarged to a ca pacity of 260,000-horsepower, enough to meet the needs of his motor plants in power and give a large residue for sale to the public, probably at very reasonable prices. He Is already re ported. to be selling coke in Detroit at about half the current retail price. He has on the River Rouge, south of Detroit, blast furnaces in which Iron ore brought down the lakes is smelted and two 50-ton electric furnaces for steel making. In these certain of the iron and steel parts for cars are made and it is said that he plans great roll ing mills for making other parts. Last August he began to us ore brought down from his own mine at Mlchi gramme, Mlqji., and he has his own limestone quarries for smelting. A new wheel factory built by him at Hamilton, O., trill supply wheels for about one-fourth of all Ford cars. Without effect on the Importance of his Interests at Detroit and employ ment there, which have actually In creased with increase in business, de centralization on a vast scale in the motor industry over which Mr. Ford presides is in progress. What he might have done with Muscle Shoals, had he obtained the Improvements there, is indicated by late decisions to build a $10,000,000 plant operated by water power at Minneapolis and to create a $5,000,000 plant near Chicago. At Kearny, N. J., he has now an assem bling plant with a capacity of 12,600 cars a month, and at New Orleans one with a capacity of more than «,000 cars a month, which is correlated closely with the South American trade in Ford cars. A large plant is also projected at St. Louis. Evidently to serve his own needs In construction, he has huilt a 2,000-barreI-a-day ce ment plant. Almost as Interesting is the expansion of Ills foreign enter prises. According to the Wall Street News, the plans after which these changes are being made were elaborated by Mr. Ford years ago. However, they were opposed by his chiel associates in the motdr business, who continual ly pointed out the great risk incurred in •'spreading out" too much and cit ing instances in which this risk brought men to grief. These associates of opposing view having been grad ually eliminated, 1921 was accupled with a thoroughgoing reorganisation of the personnel of the motor plant and, with the completion of the re organization, a beginning on the am bitious plans was made in 1922, which year, however, saw only a part of what future years are to see. Mr. Ford has defied many maxims of busi ness. Time will tell whether he can defy the maxim about excessive ex pansion of interests. Assembling plants at points remote from a parent motor ear factory are established, of course, to save on' freight charges. Who gets the bene fit? Do customers living in the vicin ity of an assembling plant get it?' Dr is it absorbed by the owners of the factory, ostensibly to be distributed in the form of a saving of a few cents to all customers, wherever located? However, the price quoted on many models of cars Is "t. o. b. Detroit.” Is there a Detroit-plus in the motor world resembling the Pittsburgh-plus of the steel world? They Need a Newspaper. From the Pittsburgh Chronicle-Telegraph. The professor of political science at Syracuse university gave his students a test on current events the other day with results that may be consid ered either humorous or pathetic, ac cording to the point of view. Ques tions were asked concerning 20 promi nent men and a dozen timely topics eliciting such gems of information that It is a wonder that the professor had the courage to give them to the world. This showing will, of course, give great aid and comfort to that enemy of higher education, Thomas A. Edi son. He will accept it as bearing out his contention that college students are weak in every-day useful knowl edge.

A half hour’s or hour’s reading of a good newspaper dally would fully supply the deficiencies so plainly shown. This reading should be supplemented by a brief talk by the Instructor explaining the signifi cance of the chief happenings in the news of the day. After a couple of weeks of such a course let the pro fessor institute another test and he will be surprised at the different re sults, provided he has done his work well. Most of our uhlversities and colleges now have courses in "Jour nalism," instruction In making of newspapers.

Nothing harrasses ones nerves more than to hen.- some young upstart de ploring the fact that he or she is a resident of a small town and longing for broader fields ‘‘where everybody don’t know everybody’s business.” All of us have heard the remark more than once and feach time it has grated on our ears. Because we know about life in the congested cities of this country, and know how much more enjoyable is life in the smaller towns and in the rural sections. Very shortly after reaching the big city, "where everybody doesn’t know everybody's business,” there comes to the town-bred boy or girl the long ing for a smile of recognition, a nod of the head or a cheery ’'TleHo” from someone who really is interested In them. Possibly a little spell of sick ness Is encountered. They then note the absence of kindly neighbors and the touch of parental hands that are better than medicine. Very often, too, finance* get low. There i* no need in asking credit. Strangers alwaya remain strangers in a big city, and credit is only for those who can show a bank account. “Charge It to father” doesn't mean anything to the big city merchant, whose acquaintance doesn't take in more than one father, and that one his own. We live to learn, and that's the only consolation wc have when we hear a boy or girl yearning for the life of a big city. They'll learn later on, and generally through experience, that when it comes to actual happi ness the farm home or the small town stand first, and always will. Suggesting Changes In Business Names. J’tom the Dee Moines Capltel, The federal trade commission is en gaged in a campaign to remove the words "United States” or the letters "U. S." from the corporate names of business organizations. Hearings have been held by an examiner in Min neapolis on the trade commission’s complaint against the United States Roofing and Paint company. The re port of the examiner will be awaited with much Interest. We believe the purpose of the fed eral trade commission to bo a worthy one. The letters "U. S.” stand for the United States and use of the same would have a tendency to deceive per sons who are not thoroughly well In formed. The use of many other w-ords in the business world might with propriety be abandoned. The words which had their origin In Europe In the days of kingdoms and monarchies should laso be dispensed with as rapidly as pos sible. Readers will remember that during the war every note sent out by the German government always in a grandiloquent way spoke of the "Im periar German Empire." It would be well enough to eliminate the words "Imperial German Empire.” This re form Is not in a class with removal of the letters, "U. S.," but so far as possible the signs and words used If business In America should not In the slightest degree concede the justice of government by kings and emperors. Core of the European Problem. There Is the core of the whole Euro pean problem. If the allies and Ger many can agree upon the amount that Germany can pay and will agree to terms which will effectuate the pay ments, the condition of Europe will change In a twinkling from despair to hope and the whole world will turn with alacrity to work and prosperity! —Washington Post. Common Sense Tliink How to Better Yourself.

But why not think how to better yourself and combine with this plan for study and Work, a system of deny ing yourself anything which may fru»» trate the successful issue of your plans.

Omaha.—To the Editor of The Omaha Bee: Ever since I have seen a picture now playing at a local play house 1 have been trying to" decide in my own mind just what the danger ous age of man is. A perusal of the headlines of any daily paper would lead one to think there was no safe and sane age for either man or wo man. The divorce mills do not seem to discriminate, one reading In the same column of youngsters who have mar ried in haste, repenting at leisure, and of old and feeble couples whose love has died out, whether superinduced by the jazz era in which they live, or for other reasons. High school fraternity dances are raided, young men are butchered and tortured in a fashion to make the Spanish inquisition look like a meet ing of the YY. C. T.

Verily, all ages are dangerous dur tug these parlous times, but at that I believe the "toupee" age for man and the "stay-at-home” age for women are far the most perilous.

Detroit, Mich.—To the Editor of The Omaha Bee: When lawyers can be made to come out into the open, I feel that "the night is far spent, the day is at hand.” The distinguished lawyers who, through the columns of The Omaha Bee, have contended that "The Law and Tts Sorrows” is only another crooked stick, would, 1 am sure, be ashamed of their position if they would turn back to a time, a little more than 100 years ago, when this same fight for reform of legal proced ure that we are making today was being fought out in England: and in Law Notes, (Eng.) read from the re nowned jurists of the English bar, in their debates with the people, the identical arguments that are being made today by modern up-to-the-min ute Omaha lawyers.
