Who can describe the feelings of

Undoubtedly by the favorable report
of the captain and centurion previl

gave him an opportunity to preach

as the first objective for ad
ditional money. Increased rates for

certain. Restoration of the gift tax
looked like the third point in the
plan. '.
Some form of sales tax,' applying
only to luxuries, came into the dis
cussion and seemed likely to be made
a part of the new revenue scheme.
The administration wants to raise
about 800 millions by new taxation.
It is content to meet the remainder of
the deficit by borrowing, in the be
lief that return of prosperity will
wipe out this margin hereafter.
Representative Hawley of Oregon,
the republican chairman cf the house
ways and means committee last ses
sion, came lick to the capital still
unconvinced new taxation was un
avoidable. That was before he called
on Mr. Mellon. The political leaders
don't like the idea of raising taxes
on the eve of a presidential campaign,
but Mr. Mellon has his figures to con
tend with and he is getting very rest
less over a second consecutive bil
lion dollar deficit.
Taking the cue from, the an
nouncement by 'republican "leaders
that further taxation is "inescap
able," the- democratic organizers are
lbusying themselves. If the democrats
control the house it will lie up to them
to originate the new tax bill. Sen
ator Harrison.' ranking democrat on
the finance committee, called in the
treasury actuary experts to-get the
facts. He has consistently opposed
new taxation at this session. Sen
ator Watson, the republican leader,
also has opposed tax legislation now
but he said that such a step is in
evitable. A clue to the possible plan of the
administration was seen in a propos
al advanced by Senator Reed. high,
ranking republican on the ; finance
committee, who usually sees eye to
eye with Mr. Mellon on-fiscal affairs.
The Peansylvanian advocated an ex
cise tax ou as broad a base as pos
sible, excluding-necessities.
"I. would like to see it extend as
far as possible and at as low a rate
as possible.", he said. State Journal.

Per Cent of Those Few Last
Year Now in State
Shipments of feeder cattle into Ne
braska are much below those of last
year according to E. V. Jones. Asst.
Agr. Statistician. The small inniove
ment during September and October
show the number of cattle now on
feed to be only 70 or 80 of the
number on feed this date last year.
Cattle shipments into the Corn Belt
to date Was 2 smaller than last
eyar and 9 smaller than the 5
year average.
Although shipments into Nebraska
during July and August were above
the small in-movement during those
months in 1930. the greatly reduced
in-shipments during September and
October reduced the total receipts
for the period July to October inclus
ive, to only. 75 or 80 of the re
ceipts during the same period in
1930. With reduced corn production
and short hay crops, the situation
does not favor cattle feeding. It ap
pears, that cattle feeding is being
dropped in favor of sheep feeding
which can be carried on with poor
quality corn and roughage to better
advantage.

smaller than last winter. There will
