Justice, nlonfr the ame l.'nen as the
federal government provide.
For Soldier Relief.
Important recommendation which
will interest every former fold'er are
that loans be made to ewervice men
and women for tfle buM'njf of home.
The governor recommended that the
achool land of1 the state be sold and
Uie money turned into thru fund. It
was aho recommended that more ade
quate provision be made for former
soldiers who nre ill or incapacitated.
It was stated that many c-?erviee men
favor the further development of home
and hospital fncd't!es at Milford, and i
it was pointed out that the fo'd.'er' j
and FailoiV home at Grand Inland '
hould also be"procrly supported.
An Agricultural Program.
The recommendation dealing with
agriculture were largely secured
through conference w.th various
jrroups of farmers, just other rec
ommendations were made a the result
of public conferences held at the state
house the last month. Amoi,' the
recommendation - dealing with agri
culture are the following:
That no concern be permitted to use
the term "co-operative" unless it if
organized under and within the co
operative law of Nebraska.
Organization of bank on a purely
co-operative basis shou'd be legalized.
That further encouragement be
given to county farm bureaus.
That a law be passed permitting the
Issuance of warehouse receipts against
grain that is store in warehouse on
the farm or in privately owned ware
houses.
That the railway commission exer
cise control over sites for elevators on
railroad
That farmers' elevators companies
be privileged to carry their insurance
mutually.
That an increased amount for the
Indemnification of owners of cattle
.condemned because of tuberculosis be
Allowed. .
That the consolidated school redis
tricting law be amended to meet the
obstacles that have developed in its
Administration.
That the present pure seed law be
Amended to protect the interest of
farmers und growers of the state
gainst unscrupulous methods of deal
era from without as well as within the
state.
That the university regents should
be authorized to make, buy or sell
serum for emergency purposes only.
A number of dairy laws are sug
gested dealing with the coloring of
substitutes for butter, extension of
time that temporary permits to cream
station operators may be issued, and
an egg-candling law is suggested.
The governor also " recommended
that support be given to the move
went to develop the Great Lakes-St.
Lawrence tidewater project. This
would save a great deal in shipping
rrain abroad, and it is estimated that
the saving to Nebraska would be $10
000,000 a year on shipments of wheat
and corn alone.
It 1 was aho pointed out that the
flsh and game laws should be entirely
rewritten. Among provisions here
would be regulations governing the
size limit of f.sh taken for food pur
poses, the designation of certain lakes
as public voters, where anyone might
hunt anil fish, and the development of
Securities and Banking
The governor gave attention to the
sale of securitiesvin this state. "After
sctui .ties have been legitimately sold
under the authority of the state, it is
t.oi unusual that companies have been
.KUmatically robbed from within,"
:aid the governor. "Consequently, if
the state is going to assume responsi
bility in these matters, it is just as
important that it should be given au
thority over the conduct of these con
terns alter they are organized as it
, to authorize the sale of their secur
.tie." It was pointed out that the
.ssuancc of permits for the sale of -.uni.e
hH Oiten been regarded a an
endorsement of a security, and agents
nave f ought to try to convey that im
pression, in spite of the fact that ev
ery peri. i t is plainly marked that the
bureau makes no recommendation as
o the value of the securities. How
over, the governor reported that out
of the f0,2SC,rr.3.90 worth of securi
ties authorized by the bureau, less
than f200,000 represented companies
that have since become bankrupt.
The issuance of over $o0,000,000 worth
of securities was turned down. It
was pointed out that recent losses
which have been suffered have been
due largely to foreign securities over
which no control has been had or se
curities which were authorized before
the present bureau came into exist
ence. The governor would have an
entirely new statute enacted which
wouldprovide adequate punishment for
fraud.
Among the recommendations for a
law. regulating insurance companies
was one requiring insurance compan
ies organized under the laws of the
state "to have as executive officers
ones who are known to be capable of
running the affairs of an insurance
company. it was recommenueu mat
the present state hail insurance law
be amended to make it possible to pay
all losses promptly, instead of waiting
until the funds are turned into the
state treasurer.
Although pointing out that during
the recent period of financial stress,
Nebraska has had only a very few
bank failures, and that those failures
were the result of unsrcupulous prac
tice on the part of bank officials, the
governor recommends some changes.
The minimum capital of a bank
would be raised to $25,000, and II
existing banks with less capital would
be required to increase to this mini
mum within five years. Bank direc
tors would be held perFonally respon
sible for any tranfers of stock ap
proved to one who is unable to show
the required legal financial responsi
bility required by the banking code.
I Only chartered banks should be al
lowed to use the words bank,
"bankers," or "banking." The gover
nor would have the department of
trade and commerce have authority to
suspend the functions of bank offi
cials who wilfully or persistently vio
late any of the banking laws. The
depositors' guarantee law would be
amended so that this fund, after pay
:ng the deposits of a failed bank,
would have a first lien on all the as
sets of a bank, including the stock
holders' double liability, until the fund
! was fully restored. All banks, build
ing and loan associations and trust
companies would have to adopt and
maintain systems of uniform account
ing for the ronvenience of auditing
and checking by examiners for per-
DON'T RISK IT
NO USE taking the risk of carrying money or of
having it around the house. You may have it
stolen and you may lose your life at the hands of
some bandit. Deposit your earnings in our bank and pay
your bills by check. We do the bookkeeping.
The young man in love often goes into raptures about "the

blue of the sea In her eyes and the golden haze of autumn
in her hair," but remember this, young man she'll eat
just the same as any other healthy girl. Therefore get
down to practical affairs. Save your money, deposit is in a
good reliable bank like ours and get ready to own a home
for you and the girl and to provide the three square meals a
day that you will both need as long as you lire. You know
when poverty comes in at the door, love sometimes flies out
of the window.
WE PAY FIVE PER CENT ON DEPOSITS

manent comprehensive record.
The governor, In his message,
pointed out tht the amount of
money paid to injured employees un
der the workman's compensation law
has grown from $51,167 in 1915 to
$540,213 in 1920. It was recommend
ed that employees in the public serv
ice should have the same protection
under the act a those that are now
employed in private industries. It
was also recommended that occupa
tional diseases should be made com
pensable. In regard to the matter of the es
tablishment of a industrial court,
the governor said that he wa "not
prepared to recommend such legis
lation at this time, unless such a body
should be provided to sit in a purely
inquisitorial capacity. Public opinion
is the greatest deterrent to a continu
nation of those unfriendly relation
between employer and employe, which
result in injury to the public. We
now have provision fo fa board of
mediation, and I have no doubt that
this will suffice to covdY the require
ments of Nebraska for the present at
least"
Child Welfare
The governor gave attention to
child welfare ami recommended that
a special committee be created upon
this, subject in each branch of the
legislature. The last regular session
of the legislature created a children's
code commission, and charged it with
the duty of preparing and recommend
ing to this session of the legislature
an entire code of laws relating to the
subject of child welfare. The! gov
ernor stated that child welfare laws
should not in any sense be designed
to relieve parents of the responsi
bility. "Our duty just now is to the
unfortunate ones who do not and can
not care for themselves," he said.
Taxation
The governor stated that he would
not recommend a complete revision of
the tax laws of the state at this ses
sion. However, it was recommended
that the office of tax commissioner,
as provided for in the amended con
stitution to secure information during
the next two years that would make
possible a wide and eifuitable revision
of the tax laws. However, it was
pointed out, that changes in the clas
sification of intangible property might
be made at this session. Many per
sons have not listed this property, for
they were always taxed at full value,
while those who had tangible proper
ty got off with less percentage. The
governor believes that this should be
changed so that there will be less ef
fort to escape taxation.
The Road Program
The governor reported that "Ne
braska has made as much progress in
road development during the past bi-
ennium as was made during the pre
vious decade." He believes that the
road laws might be amended so that
county boards and the department of
public works might be able to devote
more of the automobile license money
to county highways, although he
would not have the state and federal
highways hampered in maintenance
and development. He would have the
automobile license funds disbursed by
the county treasurers, instead of the
state treasurer, on warrants approved
by the department of public works.
State Departments
After reporting that the various de
partments operated under the civil ad
ministrative code had kept within the
appropriations made by the - legisla
ture and had $135,644.80 to be turned
back to the state, the governor made
a few recommendations for the
further improvement of the depart
ments. He recommended a system of
limited civil service for the civil ad
ministrative departments "so that
standard qualifications and eligible
lists could be maintained for posi
tions with the state of those who may
pass satisfactory examinations or
qualify under the standard require
ments." Employes would come into
the state's service on one year's pro
bation and after that time they cdAild
not be discharged except for cause,
and would have the right of hearing.
Concentrating the purchase of sup
plies in order to save money was rec
ommended to include all state activ
ities.
The Direct Primary
The governor calls attention to the
fact that there is as much danger of
minority groups from without con
trolling political parties, by uniting on
a certain candidate, as there w as in the
old system of political machines.
"We must have primary nominating
conventions," the governor says, "to
select one candidate for each of the
several otfices, but leaving the pri
mary open to all other entrants who
may not have permitted their names
to go before the nominating conven
tion, or we must have two primaries,
the first to be an elimination primary
out of which only two candidates only
would be chosen, subject to nomina
tion in the second primary."
