New McNary-Haugen Measure Pro

voke Fee in Emergency.
Washington, Dec. 10 The ground
work for another farm relief battle
was laid Friday with the reintroduc- :
tion by Senator McXary, republican.
Oregon, cf the McNary-Hautren bill
slightly modified from the form in
which it was vetoed last spring by
President Coolidge.
Senator McXary, who will be
chaiiman of the senate agriculture
committee, met some of the objec
tions which the president voiced to
the old McNary-Haugen measure,
but he is sticking by the controver
sial equalization fee provision as a
means of raising funds to market
surplus crops. N !
However, under terms of the new .
bill the equalization fee would be
invoked by a proposed federal farm;
board only after co-operative mar
keting associations had found it im
possible to cope with surpluses. It
; would take money from a $250,000,-
000 revolving fund available as loans
to the co-operatives in marketing
j crops at a rate of 4 per cent inter-.
i President Interested.

eualization fee apply to all com-

'daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William
;Ach, of Weeping Water, was held on
. last Saturday morning, with inter

The circumstances of her death are
very sad. She had come home from
Omaha, where she held a position, to
spend her Thanksgiving vacation
with her parents and family and was
taken ill with diphtheria.
Word reached her Louisville rela
tives and friends that she was out of
danger and the next word that came
announced her death.
This comes 33 a sad blow to her
family. She was a very bright, cap
able young lady cf most lovable ways
and disposition and was loved and
respected by all who knew her and
her untimely death has cast a great
sorrow over the community in which
she lived, and the sympathy of all is
with her sorrowing parents and rel
atives. Louisville Courier.
ANNOUNCES CANDIDICY
Prank Marsh, republican candidate
for re-election to the office of secre
tary of state, is a native Xebraskan,
and was born at Guide, Rock, Web
ster county, in 1881, and has high
school and college education. His
wide and active business experience
gives hira the very necessary quali
fications to perform the duties of the
office to which he seeks re-election.
He is serving his first term as a pub
lic official and has made good. The
motto of his office is "The best ser
vice for all the people at all times."
Mr. Marsh meets the public favorably
and from the manner in which he
handles the affairs of the office prov
es him to be a .very satisfactory pub
lic official who not only has won
the stamp of approval from the tax
payers and voters, but will continue
to hold and increase his present
. popularity.
reductions proposed."
The reduction in rates was design
ed to give relief where the need seem
ed greatest, lie added, with the view
always in mind to prevent a deficit
in the coming fiscal year when the
full effect of the reduction will be
felt.
Mr. Green's report stressed that
the committee had not taken into
consideration "expenditures which
may be made in the future, above the
sums appropriated in recent years,
such as those for flood control, agri
cultural relief additions to the navy,
public buildings, Boulder dam, etc."
"The treasury estimates the total
surplus for 1929' at $274,000,000."
the report continued. The bureau of
the budget, in a more recent esti
mate, increases the expenditure esti
mate and indicates that the surplus
will be 1252,000,000 or $22,000,000
less than the treasury estimate, and
that the surplus exclusive of non
recurrent items, will ' be $177,000,
000. "It is apparent then, that the com
mittee has gone fully as far in tax
reduction as ordinary prudence will
justify." State Journal.
