'Wedding at Church.
It was our privilege to be present
last Sunday at the double wedding
of the two daughters of Mr. and
Mrs. Julius Reinke, Miss Bertha
Reinke to Floyd McKee, and Miss
Gertrude Reinke to Harold Schlei
fert. Under the strains of Mendelsohn
wedding march, the brides marched
up the main isle on the arm of father
and mother, and were met by the
grooms at the altar.
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.

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

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

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.
