Cilt
in Assessment
Rail Lines Appeal to State Beard of
Equalization Claim Valua
tions are Too High.
The Burlington and tbe Missouri
Pacific railroads asked the -state
board of equalization Wednesday for
substantial reductions in their re
spective valuations for assessment
purposes in Nebraska for 1926.
.1. A. C. Kennedy, of Omaha, at
torney for the Missouri Pacific, told
the board that that road showed a
deficit for the past five years. One
of th? railroad witnesses was II. C.
Hale, valuation accountant for the
road.
W. G. Nicholson, attorney for the
Omaha and Southern railway, oper
ating an electric line between South
Omaha and Fort Crook, asked for a
decrease, listing the valuation at
15.000 a mile. Hie road is six miles
lonz.
K. L. Morrison, of Chicago, tax
accountant for the Burlington, took
the witness stand for hi3 road and
testified that calculations, in accord
ance with records approved by the
interstate commerce commission,
'showed that the Nebraska lines' of
jthe Burlington should have a valua
tion of 106,Sr9,2S3. The mileage of
Ithe carrier in Nebraska is 27.05 per
cent of tbe entire system, he stated.
The Burlinston was assessed for last
year at S137,3SS,S71.
j The I'nion Pacific railroad has
I not been heard and attorneys for
the carrier said that it will probably
accept the 1026 valuation to be fixed
by the board, wnnout a contest in
court. The road ha3 followed this
! policy for the past several years.

Upset Plan for
Farm Aid; Not to
be Laid Aside
Robinson and LaFollette Doubt if
There Is Sincere Purpose of En
acting Real Farm Measure.
Washington, June 2. The senate
was forced to devote two hours to
day to farm relief legislation, but
republican leaders finally had heir
way and sidetracked that bill long
enough to pass the army aircraft
five years building program.
Taking advantage.of the parliament
tary situation. Senator Blease, demo-:
crat. South Carolina, refused early
in the afternoon to agree to unanim-;
ous consent for the temporary laying,
aside of the farm bill for the air-:
craft bill as had been done yesterday!
after the former had been made the(
unfinished business of the senate. f
To a plea of Senator Bingham that
the ?ir bill was a measure of national
defense, the fiery South Carolinian
replied that when the United States
adhered to the world court there was
a promise of no more wars and that
consequently additional airplanes
were not needed.
After the democratic leader, Sen
ator Robinson, Arkansas, and Senator
LaFollette, republican, Wisconsin, had
expressed doubt as to whether there
was a sincere purpose to put thru a
real farm measure at this session,'
Senator Blease objected to laying
aside the co-operative marketing-corn-belt
bill temporarily in favor of the;
army aircraft expansion measure. J
This was done yesterday after farm
legislation had been made the un-
nui;:;"ri business of tne senate and a
request was maue again, as is neces- J
sary under the rules, to give the
army proposal right of wav for the.
rlr) v
by Senator Bingham, republican. Con-
necticut. in charge of the aircraft bill.
Then Senator McNary. republican,
Oregon, launched into a detailed ex-1
plamtion cf the farm measure, which!
lie sponsors.
What Will the EConse Do ?
The discussion had proceeded a
little wry when Senator George,
democrat, Georgia, raised the point
whether the house would refuse to
act on the senate bill because of its
revenue raising features as it had
;io!K- in the ense of postal rate in
crease legislation.
"I am not innrprnefl rvr nrw
sibk- action of the house." retorted
Senator McNarv. "hut T am concern!
er over the action of the senate.
I-:-laring that the situation de
velopi d in the last two weeks meant
that :hoe responsible for the passage
of the legislation had no program.
Senator Robinson declared they knew
here "was not tbe slightest likelihood
of a farm relief bill being passed by
congress.
TRAIN OF CARDINAL RED

The red train will leave New York'

red nat of the cardinalate at Rome
when hundreds of thousands of peo
ple welcomed him.
"In many cities thru which the
train will pass, crowds will await
the papal party and pastors will
gather with their parishioners to get
a glimpse of the train. In several
of the larger cities a brief stop will
be made.
The cardinal himself will have a
private car.
The legate's own car will bavr

ed. JUDGE'S FAITH STRONGER
AFTER 40 YEARS' SERVICE
Kansas City. Mo. An experience
of 40 years as probate judge of Jack -
son county, (Kansas City) has
strengthened the faith of Judge
Jules E. Guinotte to humanity; has
led him to believe people are honest,
and that kindness should be a rule
of conduct.
Exercising the duties of his office
has brought Judge Guinotte into con
tact with large numbers of people
and under condition where difficul
ties and elifferences of opinion arise.
Yet the judge says:
"I.really believe everybody is" hon
est. It is only when folks are misled
or start reasoning from a wrong set
of facts that they go off on a tangent.
Yes, I surely do believe that down at
bedrock everybody is honest." And
he adds:
"Do a kind act to everybody, black
or white, little or big. Be kind to
all. Help them. Always remember
that the less a person knows the
more attention he should have."

Washington, June 3. A resolution
directing the federal trade commission
; to investigate the increased price of
gasoline and other petroleum products
was adopted today by the senate with
i out a record vote.
The resolution, introduced by Sen
ator Trammell (dem., Fla. ) requires
the commission to report to the senate
at the next session of congress
whether the increases were "arbitrar
ily made and unwarranted."
The commission is further direct
ed to determine if there are any
agreements between oil companies to
raise or depress prices, or if competi
tion is restricted by conditions of
ownership of oil properties, refineries
or marketing facilities.
Senator Trammell had held the
resoluton before the senate for weeks
'and each time there was a lull in
i the proceedings he asked for action,
j but it was shoved aside repeatedly
for some other measure. He accused
i the senate of wasting time over trivial
affairs while the pubdlic is paying
heavy toll to the oil trusts.
Joining in the debate. Senator
King (dem., Utah) used the resolu-
"u" a 1,1 ulUiU 6Vl w ""-" y'l
that as important as the resolution is
he does not believe an inquiry by the
commission with its present majority
personnel will be fruitful.
Rising to the defense of the oil
industry. Senator Harreld (rep.,
Ckla. ) declared an investigation is
not warranted as the rise and fall in
oil prices is justified.
The Oklahoma senator was speak
fng at 2 o'clock when the farm relief
bill automatically came before the
s-ennte end he then left the floor. Im

by a loud chorus of yeas, a few scat

is effective without house concurrence
or presidential approval.
OUT SLEEPS EIP
j One of the most familiar pieces
of American literature is the fanci
ful story of Washington Irving, de-
ipicting the wanderings of Rip Van
Winkle among the beautiful foot
I hills of the Catskill mountains, along
!,he silvery Hudson river, and the
! lonS sleep that Rip enjoyed among
these pleasant scenes after partak-
ing of tbe run served by Heinrich
Hudson and his crew from the good
ship. "Half Moon."
The sleep of Rip was for a period
of twenty years and the nearest
that his feat has been equalled is
reported from Falls City where the
Elks of the state are holding their
state convention this week.
One of the many numerous Piatt s
mouth Elks that journeyed down to
the thriving Richardson county seat
yesterday morning has made a bid
for the fame that once rested on the
brow of Irving's lovable and happy-go-lucky
hero. This member of the
Plattsniouth party was filled with
enthusiasm that was as great as that
that Rip might have been inspired
with by the flagons quaffed from the
Half Moon crew, only in this ago
when the gerat ukase of A. J. Vol
stead. Wayne Wheeler and others
have banished the once flowing bowls,
there is prohibition. The Plattsmouth
visitor was entranced with the
beauties of the Hotel Weaver, the
hundreds of visiting Eiks. and in
care of the aquaintances that he had
made during the day, as the late
afternoon came on our friend be- j
came lured by the sweet notes of ,
Morpheus and sought some spot
where he might lie down and the;
spirit leaving his body might jour-'
ney out on the limitless shores of
dreamland to new fields of joy. The
trains of sweet music from the ball;
room wnere ueautitdi women ana
noble men glided through the
Charleston failed to arouse him, the
'augnier ana joy mat surruuuura
film was in vain hp iepc uu, wane
the wheels of time sped on their
way. Day gave way to night and
nisrht in turn was struggling in the
inw. ""- , I
t""" "l i
dav when the Plattsmouth man
awoke, finding his companions about
him in their calm and restful sleep
he loudly demanded that they hasten
forth and seek the dance floor where
he might from the effects of the long
jrest
flung himself madly into the
vortex of the social whirl. Alas, the
ball
room was long since deserved I
and the glories of the evening of
laughter and dance will come no
more for our friend.
The moral of our story is that
when going to Falls City carry an
alarm clock, or you will miss some
thing. i

point winners In the Big Ten and
Misouri Valley conference meets
could be brought together In one
big cinder classic, a great meet would
result, but the Big Ten would win
if the athletics of both conferences
duplicated their performances in
their respective meets.
A comparison of the results of
the two meets shows that the Big
Ten excelled in ten events and the
Valley in five. Western conference
stars had the edge in the two hurdle
races, the quarter and half mile
runs, the avelin throw, broad jump,
two-mile run and mile relay.
Velley men set the pace in the
two sprints, the shotput, discus
throw and mile run.
Big Ten Had Advantage.
Advantages credited to the
Pig
Ten in the quarter and half
mile
runs, the mile relay, and the
hurllles are at least partially
counted for by the fact that
low
Ten athletics had the advantages of
a 220-yard straightaway. These
events were starter on the straight
away at Iowa City, which gave the
Big Ten stars slight odds over their
Valley rivals, who ran all events on
a curved track.
Overshadowing all performances
were the iprint achievements of
Roland Locke of Nebraska, who broke
one world's record and tied another.
