ARGUE LIQUOR EXCISE TAX
Omaha. United States Commis
sioner Mary Mullen promised a de
cision within a week, following argu
ments in a test case seeking to es
tablish constitutionality of the $1,000
federal excise tax as applied to li
quor dealers in a dry state.
John Mullen, attorney for E. E.
Barker, Omaha whisky retailer, cited
a recent opinion of federal circuit
court in New Orleans in support of
his contention that the excise tax
provision died with -repeal of the
eighteenth amendment. More than
100 Omaha sellers of hard liquor ar
rested in governmental raids will be
affected by the decision.
Mullen asked for dismissal in
view of the New Orleans high court
ruling that the tax is not a tax at
all, but a penalty, and that its en
forcement is not uniform.
Fred Hawxby, assistant United
States attorney, asserted Federal
Judge Donohoe recently ruled in fa
vor of the government in a some
what similar case, setting the pre
cedent as far as Nebraska federal
jurisdiction is concerned.
Should the decision favor Barker,
it may mean a loss to the govern
ment of several hundred thousand
dollars in Omaha alone, federal raid
ers estimating there 'are now 300
persons selling liquor here.

Feeding Tests
of Interest in
Drouth Region
Conditions Upset by Lack of Rough
age, Farmers May Study
Varying Rations.
Nebraska farmers who atttend the
twenty-third annual feeders day at
the college of agriculture April 18
are going to hear a number of out
state speakers and be able to view
more than 150 head of experiment
cattle, says Prof. R. R. Thalman.
With livestock feeding conditions
largely unsettled in many areas, due
to lack of roughage, experimental
tests on varying rations are bound to
attract particular attention. The
animals will be on exhibition and
experiment station workers will
describe in detail the results of the
tests.
A test comparing dry lot against
grass fattening is expected to attract
the most attention, as a great in
crease on fattening while on grass
is probable in Nebraska during the
coming months, especially in sections
where roughages are lacking. W. W.
Derrick, extension animal husbandry-
man at the college, will summarize
experimental work done at the Ne
braska-station and other stations in
the midwest. Three years work has
been completed here.
Prof. M. A. Alexander of the ani
mal husbandry department is to dis
cuss some new feeding methods for
sheep. A comparison of cottonseed
cake, tankage and meat scraps for
lambs as protein supplements is in
cluded in one test. In another, straw
and alfalfa are compared as rough
ages for sheep.
.Another test where six- lots of
steer calves, heifer calves and year
ling heifers have been fed varying
rations will also be discussed by
Professor Thalman. On test 150 days,
the experiment will show how heif
ers and steers do on a limited corn
ration with silage and cottonseed
cake as supplements.
Three lots of steer calves are in
eluded in the test. All received a,
full feed of silage. The first lot was
fed one pound of cottonseed cake
while the second received three
fourth of a pound of tankage and the
third one pound of commercial cubes
daily. The two lots of heifer calves
were fed silage. One received one
pound of cottonseed cake in addition
while the second was fed five pounds
of corn and one pound of cake. One
lot of yearling heifers received silage,
seven pounds of corn and one pound
of cake while the second got silage
and only one pound of cake daily.
The silage fed in all lots contained
no corn.
Another experiment, recently com
pleted, concerns two lots of yearling
steers given straw as a substitute for
alfalfa in the fattening ration. Both
lots were on full feed with one and
one-half pounds of cake and some
limestone. The first lot, however, re
ceived in addition as roughage half
alfalfa and half wheat straw. The
second was fed only wheat straw.
Low Interest
Rates Offered
to Agriculture
Alvo National Parm Loan Associa
tion Announces Lowest Rates
in Many Years.
The lowest interest rate ever of
fered agriculture on mortgage credit
is now available to farmers obtaining
Federal Land bank loans through the
Alvo National Farm Loan association
of Alvo, Nebraska, according to Carl
D. Ganz, secretary-treasurer.
Mr. Ganz has just been notified of
the permanent reduction of the in
terest rate from 5 to 4 per cent,
effective on all land bank loans closed
after April 1.
Informing the secretary-treasurer
of the new permanent rate, D. P.
Hogan, president of the Federal Land
Bank of Omaha, declared:
"As in the past, the Federal Land
banks again have taken the lead in
reducing interest charges. This new
rate marks a milestone in the pro
gress farmers are making by conduct
ing their credit affairs cooperatively
The reduction will mean a saving of
thousands of dollars to the land
bank's future borrowers In your com
munity." Commissioner loans, also made by
the land bank on either first or sec
ond mortgage security, will continue
to bear 5 per cent interest.

WANTS HO 'AlrlEASSADOE'
Phoenix, Ariz. Gov. Moeur denied
he ever intended to send an "ambas
sador" from Arizona to Washington.
"There has been a lot of capital
made out of it without any ground
to stand on," he asserted. "All of
these moves are belittling Arizona in
the eyes of the federal government
and I fear it will impair our relief
status. It wasn't my idea but the
plea of various interests in the state
who requested me for representation
in Washington when matters affect
ing Arizona come up."
He expressed resentment of the
name "ambassador," declaring it was
tagged on a bill by the legislators
in providing $7,500 for a representa
tive to the national capital.
