Roosevelt Asks
a Job Insurance
be Passed
Pending: Insurance Measure Will Set
Up State Systems Pay
Rolls' Tax.
Washington, Ilarch 2 3. r resident
Roosevelt today formally indorsed
pending unemployment insurance leg
islation by expressing the hope that
the Wagner-Lewis bill "will be pass
ed by the congress at thi3 session."
lie approved the measure, estimat
ed by Secretary Terkins to yield one
billion dollars yearly through a tax
on employers' pay rolls, in a letter
to Chairman Doughton of the house
ways and means committee.
Until the president spoke, the bill,
although strongly supported by some
administration followers, apparently
was delegated to be laid aside. Mr.
Roosevelt's request fcr passage may
result in its enactment.
Swope Tells Views.
Only a little while before the pres
ident spoke, one of industry's lead
ers, George Swope, president of the
General Electric company, said "We
are going to get cut of the slump,"
but that business should have a per
iod cf convalescence before being call
ed upon to set up unemployment in
surance reserves.
Testifying before a house ways and
means subcommittee, Swope said he
thought "the soundest basis for un
employment insurance is contribu
tory, so as to evoke the interest of the
employes."
Proposes 5 Per Cent Tcz.
Swope said he thought the $7 a
week minimum benefits called for in
the bill too low.
The pending measure is intended
to set up a system of state unemploy
ment insurance systems through re
mitting whatever part of the 5 per
cent tax on pay rolls of employers
who hire mors- than 10 persons that
is paid to state or company insur
ance funds.
The president said "This is an ap
proach with which I agree, and which
fulfills the promise of the demo
cratic platform for 1932 to favor 'un
employment insurance under state
laws.' "
FREIGHT TRAFFIC I27CE.EASES
Omaha. A survey among Omaha
railroads Wednesday revealed that
railroad freight traffic turnout the
slate thus far this year has- exceeded
that of the same period in 19C3 by
about 4 0 percent.
The commodities in which a sub
stantial increase is shown include
corn, potatoes, lumber, whisky, vege
tables, agricultural implements, au
tomobiles, iron and steel. A decrease
was noted in wheat traffic, due to
the smaller IOC 3 crop which is now
being marketed, as compared witn
the crop marketed during the same
period last year.
Nebraska's famous potatoes, along
with Idaho's noted cobblers, are be
ing shipped by the hundreds cf car
loads across the state and one rail
road showed an increase in receipts
from its potato traffic of over $100,
000 for the first seven days in llareh
of this year as contrasted with the
same seven days in 1933.
SU2VEY W0EK IfEAIlS CLOSE
Lincoln, r.Iarcn 2. With 20 par
ties of about 13f men at various
points in Nebraska to be called in
March 31, the coast and gsodetic sur
vey begun under civil works admin
istration grants is drawing to a close.
The rurveys are of special impor
tance just now because of their rela
tion to public works administration
projects. In this state, Willard J.
Turnbull, in charge of the surveys,
pointed cut two parties are working
iu the rrtnehntan valley, three par
tie; are working on the Sutherland
project, five are mapping out lines
for the tri-project and two are locat
ing points in the mid-Loop valley for
that project.
Only recently, Turnball said, two
parties were moved to Nance and
Boone counties where they are laying
controls for a ?300,C0O soil erosion
project.
C0UNTEKFEITEE3 BUSY
A number of bogus half dollars
have been discovered in circulation
in this city in ths past few days and
follows the warning issued some time
ago that a large amount of half dol
lar counterfeit money being circu
lated in the west. The money is re
ceived in the course of bu3iness and
ordinarily there is not a close exam
ination mado of the money which in
the case of business houses is usually
banked each day. Two cases of the
counterfeit money has beeu revealed
in this city so far.

LIAUCH
The robins have returned from
their winter's retreat.
With their merry songs we pre
sume, them to gleet,
Old Sol is tempering the winds
that bring
Life and beauty for all in the
spring.
The lilac bushes are- putting
forth buds,,
While the garden r v- busy
planting hi.- spuds.
The bees are sipping the nectar
sv.-fft.
And storing awry honey for
man to cat.
The free in the mill pond is
bellowing low.
His bass voice seems to be all
aglow
With joy, for the day has come
that he can sing.
For winter is gon. and iu ru-hes
spring.
The tulips have bur. ted out of
the ground.
And soon will the larks be sing
ing around.
The onail with l is quaint call
of Uobwhite.
And the boys will be flying their
long tailed kite.
Just hitch up your blt and
listen for th- dove.
To start up its cooing as though
in love.
To the one on the twig not far
from your door.
Which brings to your mind soniD
forgotten lore.
The wind that caused the
cypress to moan
And swayed the branches of the
evergreen torn,
By winter's cruel blast that cov
ered it with snow.
Will now tala life and spread
and grove.
The apple and peach trees will
burst into bloom.
And fill the air with their sweet
perfume,
The lily ;;nd rose their charm
will bring.
Which proves conclusively that
it surely is spring.

CLIPS BULLDOG'S TOENAILS
Norfolk, Neb. Rus.ter, a pet Bos
ton bulldog, owned by Mr. and Mrs.
Floyd w Wilson, and family cf Nor
folk, can't walk these days. Some
kindly aoul cut off all of his toe
nails.
Why this f: ndisli act was com
mitted members of tiie Wilson fam
ily do not know. Mrs. Wilson was
gone- from her home not mere than
three hours. When she returned she
found Buster in everuciating pain.
In agony, after being released by his
torturers he had managed to crawl
home to people he- knew were his
friends. Since then he hasn't been
able to stand cn his feet.
Buster, a favorite among children
in Norfolk, was a good dog and eau-ed
no trouble. "We have never had a
complaint against Buster," Mrs. Wil
son said. A dog poisoner has killed
nearly a dozen valuable animals in
Norfolk within the past few months.

Borah a Firm
Believer in r re
duction Increase
Idaho Senator Says That Theory of
Etrictiori and "Restraint
Is a Slistake.
Washington. The hope of fin'ing
a way out of the nation's economic
maze was described by Senator Borah
as lying "in expansion, in production,
in distribution" rather than in a pro
gram of restriction and curtailed out
put cf industry. A policy o:' destruc
tion, and restraint upon initiative,
energy and production. Eorah said,
has come from the view that over
production is "one of the great con
tributing causes of our present trou
ble." lie said thi.? policy would end
"in a gitat detriment to cur nation
as 11 whole and long retard recovery."
Th o Idahoan renrwed his often re-
charges cf monopoly umh r
N'RA codes ar.d assailed the farm ad
ministration's program of crop re
duction. Plans, to tut corn, cotton,
wheat and tobacco acreage would taht
4 3 millions acrts cut of production
and decrease the farm population
230.000. Dcrah said. Yet it is pro
posed die added, to send some 2 mil
lion person- frcm indu "trial centers
ha', k to the farm.
"We should leav? these people on
the land and do everything we can
to keep them on the land." the s?n-j
ator asserted. In advocating a policy !
rf expansion. Rorah advised building,
up foreign trade ar.d efforts to re-
ftore t!
medium of o'-cdiang? to the
people of Russian arid the Orient.
lie said the answer to crop reduc
tion was in restoration of purchasing
power. aU.ling: "An effort is row
h-eing made to inoreare wage, and
shorten hours. If the future is to be
judged by the past, tlie raise will be
charged back to the workman in in
' t eased prices. The purchasing: pow
er cf the p.-op'o? is constantly under
mined and thcrea.-ed by the- power cf
monopolies to fix the prices."
