were dismissed by the banker as too
vague to be denied or dlscust-d. I
"I am glad to express confidence in i
underlying conditions in Japan," La-I
mont said. "Reconstruction is remark-
a:ly advanced and highly satisfact-'
ory. I can endorse the opinions of
leaders in banking and government
that the worst is over. Within four
years the Japanese have been obliged
to confront serious conditions caused
by the earthquake and the banking
panic. The situation has been met
with courage. The Japanese are fol
lowing a course which indicated
that the future will take care of it
self." Lamont was decorated by the Jap

Plans for Repeal
New York Organization Proposes Pe
titioners Pay $1 Each to Split
with Circulators Thereof
tt A TiiP-h Riinprintrnrlent of the
Nebraska anti-saloon league, was at
the office of Secretary of State Marsh
Wednesday to see the blank petitions
which the wees are to circulate ask
ing for the initiation of a repeal of
state constitutional prohibition in
Nebraska and repeal of all state laws
backing un prohibition enforcement.
The initiative petitions must be on
file with the secretary of state by the
fourth Monday in June.
"An organization in New ork is not only has power, but is required
behind the movement to repeal state by the statute to make a separate as
prohibition and wipe out regulatory cessment in order to bring the fund
laws." said Mr. High. "The organ!-j up to 1 per cent whenever it falls be-
zation ran do nothing with national
prohibition, so it is attacking state
laws and constitutions. Thirty-three
states had prohibition before nation
al prohibition was made a part of the
federal constitution. All but two!
states had enforcement laws to back
up prohibition, so there is plenty of
territory for the organization to
work.
"I have their plan of operation in
my possession. The organization is
proposing to circulate petitions in
the various states with the sugges
tion to circulators of these documents
that they collect $1 or more from
each person who signs an initiative
petition, the organization offering to
divide 50-50 with the circulators and
j collectors.
j "This is the plan to raise funds.
lit is not working well in Nebraska,
though I have information that it is
being tried, circulators of petitions
telling prospective signers on some
occasions that if they sign they will
(get beer back again, but the prospect
jis first to give to the cause. If it
takes 41,000 petitioners on the peti
tion to repeal the state constitution
' al provision against the sale and
manufacture of liquor, and 20,000 to
3. Thomas a petition to repeal enforcement stat
the firm of ties, and each petitioner should pay
at least $1, that would mean a fund
of $70,000 to split with circulators
of the petitions." State Journal.
Late Doane Head
Long in Service
. , , , . ,r
Dr. Fairchield Served School ra Many
Capacities Went to the Insti
tution Late in 1874
Crete. Neb., Nov. 2. Dr. A. B.
Fairchild. professor emeritus of
Doane college, who ded at his home
here Tuesday morning, held the long
est period of continuous service to the
school of any other man. He began
his work at the institution in Novem-
ber, 1S74. shortly after he came to
the state. There were few subjects
in the early curriculum of the BChool
which he did not at some time teach
He was first made professor of mathe-
matiCS.
Doctor Fairchild was born in Hart
ford. O., in November, 1852. He
studied at Oberlin academy, Oberlin,
O., the same city in which he spent
most of his youth. In the early
eighties he took leave from his duties
at Doane and secured a degree of
bachelor of divinity from Oberlin. He
also held degrees of bachelor of arts
.and bachelor of laws
j Doctor Fairchild retired from the
'faculty of Doane in 1918. In addi
tion to his teaching he had served
the Institution as treasurer and busi
ness manager and from 1912 to 1914
he was acting president of the school.
Many of the students who have
been under Doctor Fairchild have
achieved success in the business
world and the teaching profession.
His sons have also found success.
Prof. Fred Rogers Fairchild is a
member of the Yale unarsity's poli
tical economy department and Prof.
Henrv Pratt Fairchild is head of the
social economy department at New

Banks Seeking
to be Nationalized
Must Pay Levies
Guaranty Fund Assessment Rule
Provided in Nebraska Statutes
Covering State Banks.
Action taken by two state banks
in northern Nebraska to escape fur
ther assessment for the guaranty
fund by converting themselves into
national banks has directed attention
to a clause In the law which appar
ently provides a method whereby all
banks operating under state charters
can be held to their guaranty obli-
gations.
This proviso is found in Section 26
of Chapter 191. Session Laws of 1923,
amending Section 8,028 of the Gen-
eral Statutes, and reads in its. essen -
tial part as follows:
thall, from any cause, be depleted or
reduced to any amount less than
per cent of the average daily depos
its, the department of trade and com
merce shall levy a special assessment
to cover such deficiency, which spec
ial assessment shall be hqsed on said
nveracp iletiosits. and wnn reouired
for the purpose of immediate pay -
ment to depositors, said special as
sessment may be for any amount not
exceeding one-half of one per cent
of said average daily deposits in any
one year."
The state trade and commerce de
partment has been making special as
sessments for a number of years past
under authority of the latter portion
of the foregoing, "for the immediate
payment 01 depositors. dui 11 lias
not levied any assessment for the ex
press purpose of restoring the fund
o a 1 per cent basis as provided in
the first part of the section.
Would be Lien on Assets
Bankers who have made a study
of the guaranty law contend that the
limit of one-half of 1 per cent a year
applies only to assessments made
" for the immediate payment of de-
ipositors." and that the department i
low that level
It has been suggested that the
extra assessment be levied and (Car
ried on the trade and commerce de
partment records as a charge against
the various banks, but that it be not
collected while they are paying the
regular and special semi-annual as
sessments. In case any state bank
should thereafter try to avoid future
(payments to Jhe guaranty
fund by
taking out a national charter, the
extra assessment would stand as a
lien against its assets and the guar
anty fund would not lose through its
withdrawal.
A recent opinion given by the
state legal department interpreting
the amended section 8,028 holds that
a levy may be made in any amount
necessary to establish a balance
equal to 1 per cent of deposits, over
and above the twice-a-year assess
ments now being made for immedi
ate payment of depositors. The rul
ing said:
"We therefore conclude that if the
levy is intended to restore the fund
and is not required for the immediate
payment of depositors, the levy may
, be sufficient to restore the fund, not
exceeding 1 per cent; but if required
for the immediate payment of de
positors it may not exceed one-half
of one per cent in any one year."
Banks that Seceded
The two banks which have re
cently pulled out of the state guar
anty fund system and reorganized
as Nationals, were the Commercial
State at Ainsworth, now the Com
mercial National and the Farmers &
Merchants, at Springview, now the
First National there.
O. H. Thorley-is president of both
institutions. He is understood to have
had the change in contemplation for
several years. W. II. Williams is
cashier of the Ainsworth bank and
H. G. Thorley of the one at Spring
view. Both of these banks, with all oth
ers operating tinder state charters.
paid regular assessments or one
twentieth of one per cent on deposits
last July ana speoial assessments
amounting to one-fourth of one per
cent in October. The latter assess-
ment wag for "immediate payment of
fiepnsjtors," being the second of its
jjj during 1927
Tne 8mall balance remaining as
miarantv fimrt roeorrp In thp nosscs-
sion of the two banks must be paid
over to the state treasurer for the
benefit of the guaranty fund; but
they will not have to contribute any
thing hereafter.
They had together about $300,000
of deposits, and if an assessment
had been made before they nation-1
alized, for the purpose of bringing
the guaranty fund up to 1 per cent,
they would have had to pay from
$2,500 to $3,000 more at the time or
leaving the state's jurisdiction.

1 , October W eather
is Doubly Unusual
. Contrast
Between First and Last
Halves Even More Marked than
Continued Warm Weather
October's bright blue weather was
not only unusually warm this year,
but still more marked from the offi
cial observer's point of view, because
of the prolonged cold weather of the
first two weeks and the continuous
warm weather the rest of the month.
The mean temperature was 5S.6 de
grees or 4 per cent above normal,
and this has been exceeded eleven
times in the past forty-four years.
The first two weeks, except for an
occasional clay, averaged well below
the seasonal temperature. The tem
perature for the first fifteen days av
eraged 54.3 degrees, or a daily de
ficiency of 3.S degrees. Lower tem
perature for this period, as a whole,
has been recorded in only four other
'vears in j !:, when it averaged
40.0 degrees; in 1S91, with 50.1 de
grees; 1SSS. with 52.7 degrees, and
1S04, with 53.7 degrees.
No record breaking low tempera
tures were recorded this year, how
ever, the lowest recorded being 35
degrees on Oct. 9 and 13, while in the
other years mentioned, a minimum
temperature of 29 or 30 degrees was
recorded.
Temperatures Moderate
Following the cold weather of the
first two weeks of October, the tem
peratures moderated and continued
well above normal from October IS
to the close of the season.
October 18 to 29, inclusive, consti
tuted the warmest period ever ex
perienced in southeastern Nebraska
so late in October since the beginning
of weather bureau records in 1SS6.
And with one exception, in 1SS6,
they were the warmest twelve con
secutive days ever recorded in Octob
er in this particular section.
In 1SS6. the daily mean tempera
ture for the twelve days. October 2
to 13, inclusive, averaged 66.3 de
grees, while this year the tempera
ture for the same period averaged
66.1 degrees, or but 0.2 degrees low
er than in 1SS6.
Mean Temperature Higher
The daily mean temperature this
year averaged 15.7 degrees above
normal, while in 1SS6 it averaged
7.9 degrees above. This apparent
discrepancy is due to the lowering of
the normal temperature as the month
advances, the normal for Oct. 1 be
ing 61 degrees, and for Oct. 31, 47
degrees, or 17 dgrees lower than at
the beginning of the month.
Other warm periods in October oc
curred in 1S97, when the mean tem
perature for the twelve days, Oct.
3 to 14, averaged 64.1 degrees; in
1905, from Oct. 2 to 13, with an av
erage of 63.8 degrees; in 1S9 4, Oct.
16 to 27. 63.2 degrees: 1904, Oct.
7 to IS. 62.9 degrees; 1901, Oct. 18
to 29. 61.8 degrees; 1900, Oct. 18 to
29, 61.1 degrees, and 1909, Oct. 1 to
12, 60.2 degrees.

New York Raids
Made on Political
Club Qrranizat'ns
Governor Smith Uncovers the Fact
of Gambling in Clubs Bearing
Party Designations.
xew York Nov. 2. Counter
cha s of open gambling in repub-
Hcan club houst.s together with the
additional charge that in one such
club armed gunmen were hired to
protect the play, were made today
by Governor Alfred E. Smith in a
statement replying to similar charg
es made against democratic club
houses by Colonel Theodore Roose
velt. i Colonel Roosevelt, in his keynote
speech at the republican state con
vention in Rochester, which was sup
plemented in a recent speech in an
uptown school house, asserted that
Governor Alfred Smith having been
identified throuout his political ca
reer with Tammany hall must ac
cept responsibility for the corrupt
conditions the speaker attributed to
Tammany hall. He termed the gov
ernor the "Tj11 wether" of the demo
cratic political organization
The governor prefaced his state
ment with the remark that it must
seem strange to the people of the
state that "the young colonel,"
should "devote himself to an attack
upon me and my administration" in
,the heat of a campaign of nine con-
stitutional amendments, "many of
which are of grave importance." The
statement ended with a return to this
subject.
Should Render State Service.
"Why don't you try to render a
r:r.l service to the state?" he asked
in conclusion. "Talk about the pend
ing constitutional amendments, no
matter which side of the question
you take. You will at least be stir
ring up public interest in the real
is.--uo of the campaign. And quit the
job cf trying to pull the red hot
political chestnuts cut of the fire for
the discredited leaders of your old,
broken down, dilapidated, corrupt,
republican machine."
The governor freely admitted the
truth of Colonel Roosevelt's charges
about gambling in democratic club
houses and the police raids that un
covered it. i
"That is true," he said, "the raids
i were directed by a police commission-
er who was appointed irom my cao
inet by the mayor of the city. But I
did not hoar you say anything about
the raids that were made on repub
lican club houses for open gambling
and lest you have no knowledge ..." fJ
let me sny that in one republican
club bouse thnt was raided, police
were met with armel resistance, an.1,
it is a matter of record in police
headquarters that gunmen with po
lice records were in the employ of
this republican club to protect the

"Bear in mind, colonel, that I am
just as much opposed to gambling
as you are. But while we are talk
ing about it. let's be truthful."
Calls Roosevelt Unfair.
In his keynote address the colonel
spoke cf "redlight" conditions he
said he obtained in Albany.
"You are unfair in your ignorance
of the situation," said the governor,
"to try to lead the people to believe
that there was something I could do
in Albany county that I did not do.
No charges were filed with me against
any official in Albany county

HENBY KLENGEB, Mgr.
Head of Schools
Criticizes State
Taxation Plan
Plea for Equalization of Educational
Opportunities Made by Super
intendent Taylor.
Grand Island, Nov. 3. "The im
pression has gone out that the schools
are almost wholly responsible for the
high state of taxation we are In at
the present time." fjfiaries w . xayior,
state superintendent of public In
struction, said before teachers at a
meeting of the Nebraska Teachers
association, Four district, at Grand
Island Wednesday. "Dut there is a
stupendous amount of property in
Nebraska that is not paying a cent
of tax to support the state govern
ment or any of its activities."
Taxation System Archaic.
"What we need is not a higher rate
of taxation in Nebraska, but a spread
that will more nearly cover all the
property eligible to be taxed. We
maintain that every state should pro
vide equal educational opportunities
for all tin children in the state. The
child that happens to be born in a
community with a low property valu
ation, should not b discriminated
against in favor of the child who Lap
4 . . . ,of ;,-oi,. ,..f,lthv
"r" '
community." Taylor said.
"Our system of taxation is out
worn and archiac Real estate and
goods on the shelf carry prr.ctically
the whole of the tax burden in Ne
braska. It should be evident that a
county-wide tax and a state-wide
tax to be distributed back to the in
dividual districts would go a long
way toward equalizing educational
opportunities for children !n Nebras
ka." Taylor concluded.
Tells Function of Education.
Scottsbluff, Nov. 3. The function,
of education should be to free the
individual fro mtraditional prejudice
and error, Herbert Martin of the de
partmnt of philosophy. University of
Iowa, told delegates to the annual
convention of District six, Nebraska
Slate Teachers' association, here to
night. Education, he said, should do three,
tinners: 1. It should enable us to
distinguish between shadow shapes
aid realities. 2. It should free us
from the traditions and prejudices,
educational, political and religious,
that bind us. 3. It should develop
the boys and girls interests and cap
abilities so that, after school days,
they will continue to develop along
the line of their special Interest.
"It is our duty as teachers," the
speaker said, "to evaluate our own
educational activities in terms of
these three educational values."
