1938,
MAKE THE MOST OF
. , YO UR ' INCOME
By intelligent buying and
home industry a woman can
raise the standard of living
much as the husband who
earns the income.
The economy of making
clothing at home, even with
the assistance of a dressmaker
is so great that many women
today feel a responsibility to
be producers. New patterns
and the spring fabrics, on
display in our piece goods
departments, have been
designed to meet every
requirement.

CAPITOL INQUIRY
ENDS: NO ACTION
Architect Denies Contract Price for
Stone Excessive, in Reply to
Charges of Johnson.
Lincoln. March 9. The state capU
tol commission investigating charges ,
against Bertram Goodhue. New York
architect in charge of oonstrut:t'.:i
of the new state house, adjourned to- j
day without taking any action.
Governor Charle3 W. Bryan mailt.1
public a statement filed by Mr. Good
hue In reply to charges preferred
asrainst him by George E. Johnuon,
secretary of the state capitol commis
sion, to the effect that Mr. Goodhue.
recommended a contract for the pur-
chase of stone which proved to be ;
costly to the state, that he let ion
tracts without consulting the com
mission, and that mistakes had been
discovered in his specifications. j
Goodhue, in his reply, declares that
the price for. stone in the contract
made with the Henry Struble Cut
Stone company of Chicago is not ex
cessive, and that other quarries,
where Mr. Johnson asserted the stone
could be had cheaper, had n chance
to bid, and did not.
He declares that minor changes in
plans and specifications acompany
the construction of every large build-
" -
ing and that such changes are abso
lutely necessary.
Governor Bryan said he will give
out a shorthand record of certain
parts of the hearing' as soon as it is
transcribed.
He also said he received a letter
and telegram from Walter V. Head
of Oraaha. a member of the commis
sion, denying a report in a morning
paper that there had been friction at
the secret capitol commission in
quirv, between the governor and Mr.
Head.
To this the governor also added
his own denial.

THOUSANDS OF
FARMERS TO GET
RELIEF AT ONCE
Secretary Work Will Put Deferred
Payment Policy Into Effect
for Their Benefit.
Washington, March 9. Immediate
relief for thousands of farmers lo
cated on federal irrigation projects
in the west will be made available
under a policy announced today by
Secretary Work of the Interior de
partment. The farmers in many cases had
been threatened with ruin through
their failure to raise sufficient crops
to pay charges duo the government
for supplying water, and these
charges, under the new policy, will
be deferred.
Three classes of relief will be
given under authority of an act
passed near the end of the recent
session of congress.
Extension of time for payment of
construction charges on irrigation
ditches due during or before 1922 to
December 31, 1924, will serve to re
lieve many farmers from their most
immediate problem. The second
class of relief will comprise the furr
nishing of irrigation water during
the season of 1923, regardless of de
linquencies In payment of past
charges, either for operation or con-

"FEDERAL INCOME TAX
THREATENS PROGRESS"
New York, March 9. Taxation is
rapidly becoming unbearable and the
federal income tax threatens eco
nomic progress, the national Indus
trial conference warned in a state
ment today. Approximately 14 cents
of every dollar earned by the nation
in 1922 would be paid in taxes, it
was declared.
Federal taxes during 1921-22 took
more than half of the total payments
of $8,489,000,000 In that period, or
14.3 per cent of the nation's total
income of $59,300,000,000. according
to the statement. In 1913-14, taxes
took but 6 per cent of the national
income, it was pointed out.
The burden of taxes, it was said,
is making in-roads on the surplus
considered vital to business and in
dustry is hampered because of the
excess.

"The continuance of the present
federal reclamation plan," he said,
"is dependent upon the collection of
water charges under the liberal
terms of the reclamation law. Good
policy and good faith both require
that so far as possible payments to
the government be not unreasonably
postponed.
"Experience has demonstrated that
great Individual Industry upon re
clamation projects is not always re
warded with success and that even
the hardest of labor will not over
come a defective plan of farming.
Applicants for relief, therefore, will
be required to show the plan of
farming they are following, and if
the plan is defective they will be ad
vised to change it. The nature of
relief given will depend largely upon
their co-operation in this matter.
"The , law does not contemplate
the indiscriminate granting of relief,
but care will be used to treat fairly
all deserving cases." .
