. ; NEBRASKA'S EXPENSES
LOANS TO SAVE CATTLE INDUSTRY
(Nebraska City Press)
The cost of living is not coming down In Nebraska
governmental circles. According to figures which have
been compiled at the close of the legislative session, 25
millions of dollars were appropriated for state expenses,
about 10 per cent more than wan spent during the past
two years. And. this In the face of a solemn pledge taken
at the opening of the session that economy in govern
mental appropriations would be a watchword of the as
sembly. The republican majority in the Nebraska legis
lature has made it easily possible for the democratic party
to win a victory in two years because a pledge has been
broken and, in spite of the trend of the times, a deliberate
and successful attempt has been made to increase the
state's tax burden.
JUDGMENT
(Omaha Bee.) .
Reports from other parts of the state fortify the
statement recently made in the Letter Box by F. M.
Currie of Broken Bow that the ranges of Nebraska are
not filled with the usual droves of cattle. The railroad
rates on stock from southern ranches to the northern
cattle country were cut, but in many instances the cattle
men have been unable to obtain credit with which to
make their purchases. Although Mr. Currie agrees with
those who are urging that the government could alleviate
the situation by turning over the $100,000,000 profits of
the federal reserve banking system or the federal land
tanks, he does not believe in the advisability of attempt
ing to make cattle loans through this governmental
agency.
His suggestion that this sum be applied in making
snore loans on land is in line with the judgment of many
who are deeply interested In the success of the farm loan
bank and who realize that it has no machinery with which
to arrange cattle loans. The $40,000,000 bond issue which
is bow being sold to provide funds for the land banks is i . . .

Ministers, millionaires, authors and editors have all
had their turn at settling the question of the morality or
immorality of the present feminine fashions. But it re
mains for an old lady with ninety-six years on her white
nead to speak with nnal authority.
"It isn't anything to worry about," she told an eastern
newspaper. "I have lived a long time and have seen all
forts of fashions, but I Have never yet seen one that some
reformer or other didn't find objectionable. When the
women want to wear their skirts longer they will be
longer, and when they want to shorten them again they
will be shorter."
Which seems in the last analysis to end the matter
conclusively, v
'WESTERN NEBRASKA IDEAS
this sum and distributed through the west in the form
of loans on land, it would find its way into every channel
of business. Farmers who received these loans would be
enabled to buy cattle, pay their debts and add to the de
Josits of the country banks, thus providing funds which
wight be lent to others for the direct purpose of grazing
or feeding cattle.
Cattle loans differ In many respects from th,ose made
on land. The security is more hazardous and the business
of lending money on herds is one that is best handled
where intimate information as to the standirig and capac
ity of the borrower is known. 'If the money could be
tent Into the agricultural communities on land mortgages
It would nnd its way naturaiiy inu a v.nu.e piuccsHivn ui i
of advances for stocking up the ranges.
Mr. Currie admits doubt as to its being a kindness to
lend money to an industry that is not on a profit-making
basis. If it seemed probable that Amrican agriculture
were to continue so largely a losing business,, further
financial advances would be inadvisable. But people will
continue to eat and the farmers to grow food, but more
than that, attention is being directed not only to questions
of production, but of marketing as well. When the re
adjustment of Industry is accomplished, it seems inevitable
that profit will come back to agriculture. It is now a
problem of holding on, and no one who has seen and un
derstood the result of disastrous prices for farm products,
how they have slowed up business in every city in the
land, will be so foolhardy a3 to expect the nation to
prosper without the farmers prospering first of all.

In that section have been reducing prices more rapidly
than has been done in many towns in the eastern part of
the state. Gradually, however, prices are coming down
all over the country.
BACK TO EDEN
(Nebraska State Journal)
A writer in the New York Times ha3 made something
more than a sursory investigation into the night life of
the cities of the United States since the eighteenth nwt'l-
ment went into efTect. He finds that the old time midnight
gavety has disnppeared everywhere, A remnant remains
only where prohibition laws are still defied, but it is sadly
admitted by thoe most interested in keeping up the old
institution that its death can be postponed for only a
short time at most. A chorus girl summarizes the whole
situation neatly if somewhat ungrammatically when she
.ejaculates: "Say! If it wasn't for them white front
beaneries there wouldn't be no night life." The Times in
common with other metropolitan newspapers has seen the
piling up of the prohibition wave with ill-disguised dis
gust, but the evidence is so complete on the matter of
nightly revelry that it admits that the great change has
virtuallv been accomplished. Night life meant nothing
but reckless spending followed by a headache, and ?tr
disappearance is mourned only by a few foolish people
and by those who were making money out of their fool
ishness.' The movies still depict cabaret life as if it were
x still in existence. The editors of magazines and news
papers, dealing with a more discriminating public, no
longer care to buv stories touching on a phase of life
that has passed. The attitude of the editors is significant.
It means the definite end of one of the nation's most
' inexcusable extravagances.
THE USES OF ADVERTISEMENT
(Houston Post)
With the New England college girls discarding ear
puffs, some writer is suggesting that with the -woman's
ear naked, fashion will compel her to cover something
else. We don't believe it. We feel that the world is now

hear the thrushes singing in the blossom-spangled thickets.

The place of advertising as a business force Is indicated
by the report of the American newspaper publishers' asso
ciation showing that more than $200,000,000 was spent for
newsppper advertising last year. Increased use of this
method of salesmanship is exhibited by the figures, which
are $.r0,000.000 larger than those of the preceding year.
These sums are large, but represent an economy rather
than waste. With the cry for more efficiency in market

that advertising will take on ever larger importance.
