OBSERVE ANNIVERSARY
From Thursday's Ially.
Yesterday was the fifty -sixth wed
eliug anniversary of Mr. and Mrs.
Morgan Waybright of Los Angeles,
who are visiting at the home of
Judge and Mrs. Allen J. Beeson, west
of the city. The occasion was passed
very quietly with a few of the old
and intimate friends gathered at th
home in the evening to extend their
well wishes to the old time friends.
spite of this handicap the guard made
a very snappy appearance as they
moved over the ground.
Col. Amos Thomas of the regiment,
with his staff reviewed the troops
and General II. J. Paul, Lt. Col. W.
A. McDaniel and other of the regu
lar army officers attached to the
guard were also present on the field
to witness the nassine: of the trooDs.
The condition of the ground in
terfered with the companies clearing
the line when they had passed the
reviewing stand and also made it
very difficult for the execution of the
march, especially the band men, a
number of whom cut their lips on
their instruments in stumbling over
the bumps in the stubble field.
It had been desired to have this re
Iview made a part of the afternoon
i program of drill and exercises, as it
: is the one spectacular movement to
break the monotony of the day, and
will draw many visitors to Platts
mouth to witness it, but after the
experience of last night. Col. Thom-
is. regimental commander, announc
ed there would be no more reviews
until the ground could be placed in
proper shape.
The Chamber of Commerce, seeing
the need of immediate action, took
the matter up last night and made
arrangements to put tractors and
discs on the field today. After a
thorough discing it will be harrowed
and wet down, after which it should
be ready for use tomorrow night, in
which event Col. Thomas announces
the regimental reviews will proceed.
Without this action, even the review
before Gov. McKelvie would have
had to- he . dispensed. Kith - and his
visit made merely the occasion of a
camp inspection.
It has been said that the reviews
are an important part in keeping up
the interest of the men in regular
army life, and an encampment with
out them would certainly be lacking
in something worth while.

- AWAY FROM THE
C. fL& Q. DEPOT
Officials Will Have Armed Guards
Remain Away From Passenger
Station in the Future.
From Friday's Dailv
Following the visit here today of
Division Superintendent N. C. Allen j
of the Burlington, the armed guards :
over whom more or less controversy i
has been going on for several weeks,
were instructed not to visit the Bur
lington passenger station at train
time as has been their practice.
The railroad officials instructed
the guards who are to accompany
the men that may come here to work
from the trains to the shops, to meet
the men at the stock yards, south
of the depot, and escort them from
that point to the shops.
This will eliminate the annoyance
to the traveling public from the arm
ed guards and cut out the possibili
ties of trouble as far as the station
is concerned and as the new stop
ping place is on the right of way of
the company and awav from the nath
of the traveling public, it will not !
cause any inconvenience.
PAY DAY AT CAMP
From Friday's Daltj
The most joyful day in the life of
the soldier was observed at Camp
Barry yesterday when the paymaster
Major Ely, of Omaha, paid a visit to
the camp and paid eff eight of the
companies for their stipend for the
period from January 1st to July 1st,
covering the amount that the boys
receive for, their weekly drills in
their home armories.
It has been the practice to pay
the men every six months in the
past, for this class of service, but
while here. Major Ely announced
that in the future payment will be
made every three months.
The members of the guard will
have another pay day before leaving
camp and which will include their
$1 per day stipend for the two weeks
encampment.
The total amount paid out yester
day was estimated at $20,000 and
will go a long ways toward adding
to the enjoyment of the guardsmen.
GARAGE BURNED UP
ALSO A FORD AUTO
On last Thursday the auto garage
on the Fred Lake farm north of town
was destroyed by fire about 11 o'
clock that night. An explosion was
heard by Miss Winkler who aroused
the rest of the family. Ey that time
the fire had gained such headway
that it was entirely beyond control
and the garage together with a Ford
touring car belonging " to Harvey
Stevens who is working there was
destroyed. Elmwood Leader-Echo.
JERSEY CATTLE EX
HIBIT ATSTATE FAIR
Arrangements Made to Show the
Prize Bovines Week of Sep
tember 3rd to 8th.
Appreciative of t ii o remarkable
growth of dairying i:i this state, the
officials of the NeT;i:-ka State fair
have arranged for the showing o:
the Jersey cattle educational display
at Lincoln. September to S.
The exhibit will K shown by the
American Jersey caule club and will
be in charge of a personal represen
tative of the breed association. It
will be housed in a targe tent to be
erected in close proximity to the cat
tle barns and will be designed to
present educational and economic
features of dairying.
Particular stress will be laid on
the possibilities that thoroughbred
Jersey stock holds for the small
farmer and a canvas will be begun
immediately by club officials to in
sure a maximum attendance of Jer
sey breeders at the exposition where
the opportunity to inspect the ex
hibit will be afforded.
On the side wai;s of the exhibi
tion tent, which will measure 40.S0
feet, there will be educational charts
bearing life-sized photographs of
farmers' Jersey cat'.Ie together with
official records and other informa
tion that has been grouped carefully
to afford ease of assimilation.
Daily lectures and demonstrations
by livestock men will be conducted
in explanation of these charts and
displays and the various phases of
operations of dairying, whether from
the standpoint of Jersey cattie in
terests or those of ether breeds will
be discussed.
Among the dai'y demonstrations
will be cow-judging on live animals
by which the audience will be in
structed by an expert as to the
points which indicate lartre produc
ing ability. The animals used in
these lectures will be the Jersey
state champions fcr production, so
an unusual opportunity is afforded
all dairymen to learn the points
which indicate the profitable pro
ducers. When It is realized that
one-third of the "0.000,000 dairy
cows in the United slater is being
kept at a loss, the value of this edu
cational exhibit to both the farmer
and the consumer cannot be over
looked. In addition to the educational
tent the owners of the greatest Jer
sey herds in the state are bringing
their prize winners to enter compe
tition with other herds, so an unsu
ual opportunity is given to everyone
interested in cattle or the health of
their family to view these animals
upon which the future of our na
tion rests.
In addition to the exhibits, lec
tures and demonstrations, a series of
meetings of state and local Jersey
cattle clubs are to be conducted in
the exhibition tent on different day-5
during the exposition, and it is hop
ed by means of this demonstration to
make the exposition the official an
nual meeting place of the future for
Jersey breeders. It is the first time
in the history of the club that an
effort has been made to present such
a pretentious and elaborate display
anywhere except at the National
dairy show last year. The results
obtained from the display in Minne
sota were such that officials of the
organization felt that a similar ex
periment should be attempted in
this state.

LOGAL PEOPLE
ENTERTAIN AT CAMP
BARRY LAST NITEi
Members of National Guard are En
thusiastic in Reception of the
Popular Entertainers.
From Friday's Dally.
Laft evening a number of the
musically gifttd residents of the
city were at Camp Berry to furnish
r.n evening cf entertainment for the
members of the National Guard, and
gave a well selected prozram that
was enjoyed to the limit by the boys
of the various companies.
The program was given at the
recreation tent and while delayed in
starting by the fact that "pay day"
-.va". being held in a number of the
companies, it was a real winner when
it was held. The selections given
embraced musical numbers, both vo
cal and instrumental and also a
number of readings and which will
ion; be delightfully remembered.
Preceding the program a general
,ing was held in which the members
of the camp joined and this served
as a most delightful start for the
evening's entertainment.
Vocal solos were given by Mrs. E.
II. Wescott, Edna Marshall Eaton
and Don C. York, and all of which
were enthusiastically received, and
the duet by Mrs. Wescott and Mrs.
Eaton was given, a great ovation by
the audience.
For the musical numbers, Mr. E.
H. Wescott presided at the piano in
his always pleasing manner and Mrs.
Elbert Wiles also gave a very
harming piano solo during - the
evening. Mrs. William Baird, in her
clever mann?r, gave a number of
rending? which were much enjoyed
and served to round out nicely the
program of the evening.
It was with difficulty that the
entertainers were able to close the
proaram as the encores were very
-,treuuous and the members of the
guard found warm expression of the
appreciation at the program that the
local people had arranged at the
request of Capt. II. C. Capsey, regi
mental chaplain.
The local people will give another
entertainment at the recreation tent
on next Thursday evening.

WOULD ABOLISH
. THE OFFICE OF
CO. ASSESSOR
State Tax Commissioner Wants to
Give Duties to Co. Clerk and
Appoint Assessors.
Now that the state tax levy has
been made and state taxes reduced
one-third. State Tax Commissioner
W. II. Osborne will take time to
look ever the revenue law with a
view to making recommendations
for chanees. The new law enacted
by the legislature of 1921, in re
sponse to changes made by the peo
ple in the state constitution, was
tried out this year for the first time.
All the results are not exactly as
were expected. Mr. Osborne says he
is r.ot married to the new law, but
he desires it to have a fair trial.
He is not discouraged because that
part of the new law lowering the
rate of taxation to one-fourth of the
rate on tangible property will pro
duce less revenue than the revenue
produced under the old law. The
same result followed the first year's
trial of a similar law in Minnesota,
but in ten years it was working
there satisfactorily and bringing
a big increase in revenue.
Tax Commissioner Osborne is of
the opinion that the enforcement of
any new law depends largely upon
precinct and county assessors. He
cites the case of one precinct asses
sor in Lancaster county who this
year made a special effort to show
taxpayers that they ought not to
conceal intangible property from
taxation and that under the new law
there is inducement to list it all.
That precinct assessor listed ten
times as much intangible property
as he did in the same precinct the
year before, although Lancaster
county entire did not list three times
as much this year as in 1921.
If all precinct assessors had done
as well the new law would start off
with flying colors. Complaint is al
so made that county assessors in
many counties did nothing to get in
tangible property on the tax rolls.
Mr. Osborne is of the opinion that
precinct assessors should be appoint
ed and not elected and that county
assessors should be abolished and
their duties turned over to county
clerks. There are 5,000 precinct as
sessors and the state tax commission
er is unable to get them to do all he
desires done. He has similar trou
ble with county assessors. He finds
that wherever there are poorly qual
ified county assessors the intangible
property makes a poor showing.
Thirty-five counties do not have
county assessors. By a vote of the
people of that many counties the
county assessor has been abolished.
One reason why Mr. Osborne favors
county clerks serving as county as
sessors is that in all counties except
Lancaster the county clerk is requir
ed by law to make out the tax list.
The county assessor takes reports of
precinct assessors and makes the tax
roll. This he turns over to the coun
ty clerk, who makes out the tax list
and in turn gives it to the county
treasurer, who collects the taxes. In
the opinion of Mr. Osborne, the coun
ty clerk might make the tax roll, as
well as the tax list. He says county
clerks are generally well qualified
for clerical work, while county as
sessors are often chosen from among
those who have had little or no ex
perience in the duties they are call

CHARGES GIGANTIC
GASOLENE COMBINE
Senator Smith Declares Senate Com
mittee to Investigate Extent
of Oil Monopoly.
Washington, Aug. 17. Ramifica
tions of alleged jiiantic cjI mon
opoly, extending thru the world, will
be probed by the senate committee
investigating high gasoline prices.
Senator Smith, South Carolina, rank
ing democrat, declared today.
Charges have been brought before
members of the committee that three
monopolistic companies with exten
sive holdings in America. Mexico
and Europe, had acquired, directly
or indirectly, control of about three
fifths of the world's crude oil supply,
according to Smith.
With these vast holdings the com
panies, thru an alleged interlocking
are able to fix arbitrarily the price
of gasoline, kerosene, fuel oil and
all petroleum products, it was said.
If the charges of a gigantic mon
opoly are sustained, federal prosecu
tion under the anti-trust laws of the
American companies involved will
be demanded. Smith said.
"While we cannot give out de
tails," Smith said, "we have on
hand information which will pro
duce Fome sensational ejects in th"
