Seme small boj's, who like the out of doors, were out strolling along the banks of the Weeping Water, shall we call it a creik or a river? when they sighted a man well advanced in years with no pants on in the shal low waters. They thinking the man was in the act of drowning hastened to town to give the alarm and se cure aid for the rescuing of the un fortunate man. Mr. VanPool and Taylor hastened to save the man's life, while the lads traveled on to wards town. Herbert Kunz was looking over his garden thinking how-long it would be before he could get a meal of icicle radishes, when the lads and a woman came and told him a man was drowning in the creek. Mr. Kuntz jumped into the auto and commanding the lads to direct him to where a casastrophy was being enacted, when they ar rived at the place they perceved two men coming up out of the river and asking them they smiled and said the man had been fishing and drop ping his rusty pocket knife which went into the water. The unfortun ate man who was well past the meridian of lime and not desiring to get his pants wet, pulled them off and carefully waded into the water extending his hand down into the water to search for his knife, which caused the lads to think he was drowning, when he was only seeking his pocket knife. He was somewhat ic.ved . tiial U?h- il enmraosion.. had, been created about nothing at all. However, the intentions of his would be rescuors was very noble to say the least. Strange Things Happen.

REDUCTION ON FOEDS Detroit, Mich Reductions of ?10 to 115 in list prices of 1934 Ford V-8 passenger cars and ?10 to $20 in list prices of Ford V-8 commercial cars and trucks were announced last week by the Ford Motor Company effective Friday, June 15. Ford prices had remained un changed since the introduction of the 193 4 V-S last December, the Ford Motor Company not having partici pated in the recent general automo tive price increase. The reductions announced are, therefore, a decrease in the original price. The price reduction on the stand ard and de luxe Tudor Sedans, most popular individual models in point of sales, is 15. Prices of other stand ard and de luxe body types were re duced $10 except prices of the Roadster, Phaeton and Cabriolet, de luxe types which remain unchanged. Both standard and de luxe passenger car3 have the same V-8 engine and 112 inch wheelbase chasis. Body types for both are identical except for the de luxe equipment. Supreme Court Holds Taxihg Law Invalid Revision of the State Intangible Tax Law Held Unconstitutional by State High Court. j The Nebraska state supreme court i Monday handed down their decision that the revision of the state In tangible tax lav., made by the last state legislature was unconstitutional and invalid. The law changed the tax rate on money and savings accounts from 2 mills to 5 mills, on stock of banks, trust and investment com panies from S to 11 mills, and ordered all other securities and credits taxed , at the same rate as tangible property instead of at 8 mills as formerly. The law was attacked as discrim inatory as between bank and other stocks and was criticized because a merchant with a due bill would have to pay several times as much tax on the account due as on cash on hand, if he had been able to collect the bill. Classification Revised. The legislature starttc to repeal the intangible tax law, but instead revised it, classifying the former in tangibles as special classes of tang ible property. The decision left the former in tangible tax law in full force and ef fect. The court's decision was writ ten by Judge Bayard Paine. The decision held House Roll No. 9. the intangible revision law, is void "among other reasons, because not all of its objects are expressed in its title, and the act is very much broader than its title. Amendments have been made in this act which are in no way germane to the subject matter of the sections amended." The opinion also held that where the title of the bill provided for re peal of certain sections of the statute, "the legislature cannot by said bill re-enact the substance of the sec tions so declared repealed in the title, nor can amendments be made to the sections declared to be repealed." This was done in House Roll No. 9.' "Saving Clause" Ineffective. The law contained a "saving clause" providing that if one part was held unconstitutional, it should not affect other parts. The court said, however," that where "sections of a law are an inducement to pas sage of an act, then the entire act is void, notwithstanding a saving clause. "One of the purposes of the act," it said, "was to establish a new plan for the taxation of intangibles by the simple device of caling such per sonal property tangible. The various sections are so interwoven with that one theory that it would be impos sible to leave a few sections standing by themselves." Enforcement Enjoined. Such a finding would leave the law, under which the state tax com missioner and county assessors must proceed, in such a chaotic condition that it would be absolutely imprac ticable and unenforceable, and doubtless law suits would arise which would hamper and delay the collec tion of the needed revenues to run our state and each or the subdivis ions thereunder." The opinion was written in the case brought by Moeller, McPher rin and Judd for a declaratory judgment. Judges Eberly and Good concurred in the result, without agreeing to all the statements in the opinion. The court also granted the injunction requested by Cohen Brothers, Inc., against Sarpy county officials to prevent enforcement of the law. State Tax Commissioner W. II Smith said county assessors would have no difficulty in adjusting as sessments back to the old basis. "The assessment abstracts," Smith said, "were "made up this year to meet this contingency. The new classes of 'tangible' property, form erly intangibles, were listed separ ately so assessors will have to change only the totals." LOUP CITY PAIR ARRAIGNED Loup City, Neb. Two more de fendants in the Loup City riot case pleaded not guilty in county court here Tuesday and were released on $500 bonds pending trial June 26. They are Carl Wicklund and Harry Macdonald. Previously John Squires had furnished bond in the same amount. Three more menare sought. Three others were returned to jail at Grand Island after arraignment last week. The rioting charges against the group grew out of a pitched battle on the court house lawn when a group' of outside "agi tators" rode into town last week to get employes at a produee plant here to quit. Her Genis Stolen i - ' ' f S57 ss5T!brafjnri..i Mrs. Aiolph Zukor, wife of the movie magnate, who reported to po lice Thursday the loss cf $82,025 in jewelry, taken by a sneak thief as she slept in her room in a Chicago hotel. Decreased Highway Pro gram in Sight State to Get $3,960,000 This Year and to Match Dollars There after If Possible. A "half-size" highway construc tion program for Nebraska from new federal appropriations compared with the program made possible by federal funds allotted last summer, was fore seen by State Engineer Cochran as President Roosevelt signed a 522 mil lion dollar road authorization bill. Cochran said information he re ceived from Washington was that 200 million of the total would be available this year on the same basis as the 400 millions included in last year's PWA appropriation. The re mainder would be allotcd 125 million next year and the same amount the following year to be matched by state funds. Last year Nebraska had $7,S2S, 000 while Cochran said it will get only $3,960(000 from the new ap propriation for this year. Whether this will be made available before late summer, Cochran. said would de pend on how quickly the federal roads bureau prepaifc regulations and instructs state highway depart ments to proceed. Frankly worried at the reduced size of federal appropriations for road work, Cochran said, there was some advantage, however, in know ing what would be available the two years following. "We will be allotted about 2 1 million dollars a year apparently for next year and the year after," he said, "which we will have to match with state funds. It will take all available state fundo for construction for federal projects." Cochran said if the next legisla ture should divert another half cent of the state's 4 cent a gallon gasoline tax from the state to the counties as has been recommended in some quarters, the state would not be able to match the federal funds. "It will be very close as it is," he said, "and at the best we won't be able to do better than match the federal money with what funds we have available for construction."
