Thanks I The Nebraska Motor Transport as sociation, of which Rea McMaken of this city, is former president, has not given up . its fight, against the truck bill passed by the state legis lature in 1930 and will ask a re hearing by the supremo court on the measure. The bill passed by the 1931 legis lature restricted the use of trucks and greatly increased the license fees. The truckers circulated refer endum petitions asking that the pro position be voted on by the people of the state finally got into the couiTs but' the merits of the bill have not been decided. The association has three reasons for its objections to the bill: That it is unenforcable; that the fees as sessed are Inequitable in some in stances and confiscatory in others. and that the law is unconstitutional in that It grants rights to one class of citizens that it denies to others. County treasurers in Nebraska will collect fees in 1933 on the measure as it passed the last session of the state legislature.

He made his announcement following receipt of answers from forty-three of the 100 state representatives to whom he sent a questionnaire. "Thirteen representatives from Douglas county are in favor of pass age of a beer bill by the legisla ture,' Tesar said. "In addition twenty-five other representatives, in an swers to my questionnaire, have de clared in favor of beer legislation. Only fivl representatives out of those replying are opposed to liber alizing our state dry law." As to the legality of a beer bill passed before the repeal of tho con stitutional provision prohibiting the sale and manufacture of intoxicat ing liquor, Tesar said he was In doubt. raiililHBiinniHIBIIM MlaxgEs Platfsmouth's Leading Cash Store Borden or Carnation Milk, tall cans . 6 Sugar, 10-lb. cloth bagr 480 Boss Flour, 48-lb. bag. 700 Every Sack Warranted Navy Beans, 10 lbs.. ............. .376 Hershey's Cocoa, yAh. can . . 10b No. 1 English Walnuts, per lb. . . . .150 Large No. 2z cans Pumpkin 90 Large No. 2l2 cans Hominy ...... 7 J0 is NAVEL ORANGES, doz 150 Medium Large, 25c Dozen HEAD LETTUCE, per head . . 70 Solid Ice Bergs POTATOES, per peck . .150 55c per Bushel Red Rose Oleomargarine, lb 100 Crystal White Soap, 10 bars 250 IG A Pancake Flour, ZV2Ab. bag .... 150 Large size tubes Oatmeal 150 10-lb. bag Oatmeal 250 Raisins, Thompson's Seedless, 2 lbs. . 150 4-lb.

That's why PlaUsmouth welcomes going con cerns and goes out In search of them. Phone the news to Flo. 6. Trenton, N. J. Robert Elliott Burn3 Wednesday night was given hi3 freadom as far as New Jersey Is concerned. Governor Moore flatly refused to send the convict-author back to a Georgia chain gang from which he twice escaped. .After list ening to tale3 cf alleged brutalities in chain gangs, of the use of "sweat boxes" and, "stocks" in Georgia prison camps. Governor Moore announced he. decided the case "upon its merit3." The United States constitution leaves tho governor no apparent discretion in extradition proceedings, he said, but the United States and New Jer sey supreme courts have ruled he may decide upon merits. Burns, a short, nervous person was pushed and pullc J" by spectators who rushed from the assembly cham ber galleries to shake his hand. His mother rushed across the chamber but could not reach her son. His bro ther, Rev. "Vincent J. Burns, threw "his arms about the former fugitive In elation. The ex-convict, who had listened Intently to the hours of de bate by hi3 eminent array of coun sel, supplied by. the American Civil Liberties union, and the representa tives of Georgia,' was ' taken : to an anteroom. There he met his mother. Tears in her eyes, Bhe kissed him. Anxious to thank Governor Moore, whq made his freedom possible, Burns was taken to the executive of fices. He kissed the governor's hand3 a3 he expressed his gratitude. He was obviously surprised by the gov ernor's reaction. "Burns," said Gov ernor Moore, "you can stay in New Jersey as long as you lead an honest life and remain a good citizen. But never mind the publicity stuff. It is now up to you whether you go back." The, diminutive Burns, accused by John - Kelley, Georgia assistant at torney general, with misrepresenting the treatment he received in the southern prison camps, was taken back to the Newark Jail, and later was formally released. Whether Thomas W&lliog Company 4 Abstracts of Title : Phone 324 - PlaUsmouth Burns can be sent back to a Georgia chain gang by Governor Moore's suc cessor was apparently debatable. 'It was the opinion of legal experts a hew governor would hesitate to overrule his predecessor. But there ceemed to be no precedent.
