A very timely and forceful ad dress by Rev. G. A. Zoch was de livered to the young couple, based on John 2:5. "Whatsoever he saith. do it." What makes life worthwhile is to have Jesus in the home. No new home should be established where Jesus is not the third party alwise, omnipresent, omnipotent as he is, he can give good council and advice, in the perplexing problems of life. His word is very clear and under standable, and whatsoever He says therein, his followers must do, to enjoy His approbation and continu ed blessings. A lnrge concourse of people were present, who joined in wishing these worthy young people a long joyous and prosperious jour ney. The church was beautifully fes tooned; the choir rendered a special number, and the occation will long be remembered by all who were pres ent. L. NEITZEL. Mountains of the Bible XI A spur of Herman. Math 17:1 This is the most mem entous Epfsorde in the life of Jesus. Here was a council held, such as the has never seen or behold. Matter of the gravest importance was dis cussed. Jeasus with three disciples had accended this mountain in the late afternoon; Jesus, for the purpose of prayer, by his foreknowledge he expected something unusual to hap pen, he takes three witnesses with him. Peter, James and John, had been privileged to witness the raising of Jarious daughter, they should be witnesses of his glory, also later witnesses of his bitterest agony. Jesus talked with the father all night; the disciples are overcome with sleep. Toward dawn God ans wered his prayer, by glorifying Jesus, his counsenance is changed, ever his garments are glistening; two messengers of the Spirit world appear, Moses, who did not see cor ruption, and Elias, who had such a miracutous departure, the lewgiver and a representative of the prophets, came to talk matters over, regarding the demands of the law, and that prophesy must be fulfilled. All in shining rayment and amidst this splendor the dark scene of the crui cification. After this conference Jesus set his face to go up to Jeru salem and carry out the decree and demands of th law. He has volun teered to redeem the human race and he goes forth, determined to pay the price. Yest "Jesus paid it all." The meeting ends. Moses and Elias are recognized by the three witnesses; a cloud decends, a voice is heard, the father testifies: "This is may beloved Son, hear him;" the disciples fall on their face, sore afraid, Moses and Elias go up in the cloud, Jesus touches his disciples, and tells them not to be afraid; they lift up their eyes and behold Jesus only. On the way down, they are cautioned not to "tell, even "not the other apostles, what they had seen and heard, until after Jesus ressur roction. Let us note -a few points: 1. Hea ven and earth is interested in 'man and his welfare. 2. We will recog nige and know one another in the other world. 3. If it is so rood to be in such good company here, "what joy must it be "to be-with Christ for ever. 4. This experience Was won derful for Jesus, from now on he goes unwavering to the cross, to rec oncile God and man; make atone ment at-one-ment for men'B Bins and bring life and immortality to all that believe on his name. His followers must have such ex periences in order to carry them through Mie conflicts of life a mountain top experience is very es sential for every chirstian blessed is thefoian that has many of them.

Louisville Courier. State Income Tax Hinted by Weaver if Revenue Fails Waits Fuller Test of Intangible Levy; Home Owner Burned; Seeks Tax Equality. Lincoln, Neb., June 4. A guarded statement that a state income tax will be necessary in Nebraska if the present intangible tax fails to pro duce sufficient revenue was made to day by Governor Weaver in a 1G page statement, the second of a series of four he plans in his "complete report on state government." "I am not a pessimist," says the governor, "but the mounting cost of government in recent years, from the nation to the smallest political sub division, is alarming to all thought ful citizens. Taxes whichabsorb a large part of the income from prop erty amount at least to its partial confiscation. "The ownership of property must not become a mockery, but must con tinue to be the traditional assurance and inspiration to the home-builder and the home-owner T.'he personal rights of the citizen and of his prop erty are the essential foundations of government in this country, and they should not be impaired by the excess weight which dreamers and faddists would add to the super-structure. We have too much government, too many laws, and too many officers." Seeks Tax Equality. Through the new intangible tax law, Mr. Weaver says, "much pro gress" has been made toward tax- atfcn on a perfectly equitable basis He discusses the stormy history of intangible tax legislation in Nebras ka and says that he believes that the taxation of all intangibles, except money, at 8 mills is just, as this is the average tax on farm land. He continues: "What has been the result? We assessed in 1929 Nebraska intang ibles to the amount of $322,933,047. an increase of 150 million dollars over the year before. The revenue from these intangibles amounted to 51,688,172, as compared with $1, 455,710 (in 1921) when intangiples were taxed at the full tangible rate." A decrease this year, the governor says, need not imply that the law has failed, and depreciation in the value of stocks might cause such a drop. The law needs public support to succeed, he says. Mentions State Income Tax. If the intangible tax law fails, the governor says, "then the alternative is a state tar on income." He con tinues: "A national or state income tax, based on sound provisions, with rea sonable and fair exemptions, repre sents a sound public policy.. In all such laws, however, the- taxpayer should be allowed -to deduct - taxes paid on both tangibles and Intangible property. In other -words, the tax payer should have a mavinium total for the amount of taxes he is called on to pay, and this is particularly important for the farmers." Governor Weaver discusses new in come which he says has been brought POWER TEST d ana a POCK TEST SCIENCE gives the new Red Crown Ethyl top rating among motor fuels on power and smooth, quiet engine operation.

STANDARD OIL COMPANY OF NEBRASKA -a NEBRASKA INSTITUTION" COMPLETE REST ROOMS AT STANDARD OIL SERVICE STATIONS into the state treasury by the intan gible tax law and the assessment of public utility franchises. The total new income thus collect ed totals $1,127,043. Mr. Weaver says of which the state received $201, 763.37, the rest going to governmen tal subdivisions. Out of this, he says, the city of Omaha got $98,547.04 additional; the Omaha school district $102,959. 24, and Douglas county, $49,650.64. Appropriations for the administra tive cost of state government, the governor says, was $1,944,752.90 ex clusive of appropriations for educa tional, penal and charitable institur tions and for construction of the new capitol. Of the amount given, he says, 100 thousand dolars was for capita Investment on state aid bridgeB. Hopes for Levy Cut. Unappropriated receipts colected by state officers and paid by them into the state treasury for the use of the general fund totaled -$1,032,-625 for 10 months. To his statement the governor ap pend a series of tables giving appro priations for various state instiutions. The average state levy for 10 years, he says, is 2,936 mills. In 1929 the levy was 2.4 mills and in 1930, the governor estimates, it will be 2 mills. He concludes: "While it is our constant duty to eliminate extravagance, abolish use less agencies and co-ordinate and consolidate others, our real problem is to equalize the burdens of govern ment and to place upon our tax rolls property which unjustly escapes its fair share t)f the cost of government. As governor, I have directed my ef forts to these ends, and if re-elected will continue to do so." "World-Herald.
