Mr. Edward P. Bracken, executive vice-president of the Chicago, Burl ington & Quincy railroad v. ill retire on January 1, 1933, after 45 years of distinguished railroad service, all with the Burlington. Beginning in 1S87 as gang fore man of a construction force at Ash land. Mr. Brackon rose successfully to train master, division superintendent, general superintendent, assistant general manager, general manager, operating vice-president, federal man ager during government operation of the railroad.? through the war per iod, and was appointed executive vice president in September, 1931. to suc ceed the late Conrad E. Spens. With the supervision of track-laying as his first job, Mr. Bracken has always continued to be literally a railroad builder. He played an out standing role in the vast extension of Burlington lines in Nebraska, Wyoming and Montana, and has lately been actively engaged in one of the few important railroad con- struction enterprises that has been in aegment has been importantly re sponsible for the Burlington's high rank among the best managed and most successful of all American rail roads. Conservative, avoiding the lime light, and modest to the point cf shy- nets, Mr. Bracken has not escaped widespread recognition as one of the country's ablest railroaders; as the unseen force and guiding genius that successfully has maintained the Bur lington's safe ratio between operat ing expenditures and traffic revenues, resulting in the unbroken record of operating profit wheih is a Burling ton tradition. Perhaps more than any other in-: dividual, to him can be awarded the the perpetuation of the Burlington, ilonor and the glory associated with WOULD RAISE STAI1DAED The state bar association, mect- Jng at Lincoln endorsed the commit- (mission.

The report urged the I snoreme court to change its rules governing admission to tne Dar, re quiring a prelegal education the equivalent of a four year accredited high school course. Study in a law office should be for four years and with a lawyer of good standing who had been in active practice for seven years. Applicants should also be re quired to pass an examination on legal ethics. The bar voted down a proposal to change the jury system, and endorsed the legislative program.

Winter Wheat is Said to be in Very Bad Shape Much That Came Up Is Dead 8 Per cent of Corn Unhusked Farm ers Do Own Butchering. Approximately 8 percent of the corn is still unhusged, according to the report of Nebraska bankers to the state and federal division of agricultural statistics. On account of extremely short moisture, the con dition of winter wheat is far below normal. Altho price;; of buttcrfat, eggs and potatoes are higher than a month ago most other leading farm commodities again shew a price de cline. .'The condition of winter wheat, according to Nebraska bar. hi ra i con siderably lower than reported by them a month ago. The crop is es pecially poor in the central, south central, southwestern and western districts. The lov.cct reported condi tion is in southwestern counties. A number of bankers in southwestern Nebraska and in the panhandle dis trict report that wheat had turned brown before snow was received. Much of the crop did not come up, and a considerable portion that did come up is now dead. Altho conditions aro somewhat better in central and eastern Ne braska the crop in these districts is generally far below normal. Most v. heat in this territory ie still alive but has been badly in need Oi mois ture since it was rown and bankers say that the stands are light and the plants very weak. There are some report.? indicating wheat al ready killed even la this territory, esncciallv in central Nohrr.rh: In! the pact, a condition as low as that now being reported has usually been followed by a heavy abandonment. About 92 percent cf the corn had been husked by Dec. 20. Weather conditions last fall were- ideal for husking and the work ma'.3 rapid progress. As repotted by bankers a month ago. there is much corn cf poor quality especially in those sec tions which sugccd drouth last rum mer. The price paid for corn husk ing ranged from one to three cents per bushel. Altho definite tofDjjmqgi&g as to the seriousness of Iteian fiy in festation is lacking, a number of bankers report that fiy 13 present in their locality. Mo3t of these reports were received from central, south central, and rcutheae-tern Nebraska which, in general, were the rcetions which suffered most from this trouble last summer. Reports indicate that there has been a large increase in the number of cattle, hog3 and sheep slaughter ed on Nebraska farms this fall. On account of the extremely low prices being received for livestock, Ne braska farmers apparently are be coming more self sustaining. During the past year cr two there has been a aeeiaea ire.;u io .vcrci none iu duction of necessary living com moditic: The preliminary midmonth prices show most of the important farm commodities to ba below those of a month ago. In contrast to prices of most other commodities the prices cf butterfat and eggs have made a gocd gain during the last thirty to sixty days. The prices of butterfat increased forr cents per pound dur ing the last month. Eggs arc row selling for 25 cents per dozen as compared to 22 cents a month ago and 23 cents a year r.g.

S3 HOME aise Fund to Fight the New Track Fees Law Truckers Want $7,000 for Lobbying Purposes Favor Peculation by State Kail Commission Omaha, Dec. 31. Members of the Nebraska Motor Transport league and the Motor Transportation league at tended a special meeting here Friday night to discuss the new truck license law and voted to wage a fight against senate file No. 33 during the coming session of the legislature. The file, which becomes law on January 1, will quadruple the costs of licenses on commercial trucks op e rating between Nebraska cities, it was Btated. Work of raising a fund of $ 7.000 to fight the measure was launched. The meeting also decided to ask the l Islature to place commercial truck ers under control of the state raii way commission, which would have Power to regulate rates and qualifi- tions of the truck line operators. : than 300 commercial tru-k operators and persons who derive at least part cf their income from opera tion of trucks attended the meeting. Charles Hall, secretary of the trans port association, told the meeting that the license fees on the 1,400 trucks operated by members of his group will be ? 2 10,000 a year under the nev.- law. Last year the fees were $49,000. The state supreme court, he said. has already refused to declare again st the measure but, he added, the truckers have until the middle of January to ask for a new hearing. If that is granted and an injunction ob ralncd against the new law, another bill, more equitable in the view of the tru hers, could be put through the legislature. The proposal to have commercial trucks placed under the regulation cf the railway commission was advanced by Yilliam Sullivan of Lincoln. The plan, if enacted into law, would mean that every commercial trucker would have to obtain a permit 'from the commission. The permit would cost $25 for the first truck in a fleet and $5 for each additional truck. The operator would also have to show that he carries am ple insurance. The money thus ob tained would be used by the railway commission in policing the highways and enforcing the trucking regula tions. State Journal. LIVING COSTS ABOUT EQUAL Cincinnati.
