Rain Offers Aid
to Late Sweet
Corn, Tomatoes
Eope for Additional Moisture That
Will Provide Supply for the .
Local Packing Plant.
From Thursday's DaUy
The rain o last night has brought
a great deal of encouragement that
this may mark a period of several
late summer rains that can have a
most beneficial effect on the crops of
late sweet corn and tomatoes.
These crops are now coming on
and their abundance will have a
great deal to do with the output of
the Norfolk Packing Co., at their
local plant where the sweet corn crop
is now being handled.
With an abundance of corn and
the tomatoes coming through In
quantities sufficient to keep the plant
In full operating force it would add
greatly to the employment at the
packing house and prove a great aid
to the employes as well as those who
produce the crops on their farms.
SUGGESTIONS SOLICITED
The Program committee for the
King Korn Karnival, which will be
held this year, September IS to 21, is
desirious of making this the biggest
and best ever. Since this show is for
the benefit and pleasure of all the
people, we would like to have sugges
tions regarding any feature of the
program that anyone might have or
like to make. We do not agree to
adopt every suggestion made, but it
is certain there will be numerous good
suggestions come out of such an ex
change of ideas which the committee
has overlooked in their search for
new features for this year's show. So
come ahead with any idea you may
have for the betterment of the pro
gram or the Karnival in general.
Turn your suggestions in to the
undersigned and they will be carefully
considered, but do it at once, as we
hope to have the program out by
September 1st.

New Laws
Effective Soon
in Nebraska
State Fund Eonding, Pensions for
Blind and Firemen to Go in
Torce Monday.
Of the eighty-two new state laws
which become effective next Monday,
at least nine stand out as possessing
more than ordinary importance to
Nebraskans.
The legislature last winter and
spring passed nearly 200 laws but
most of them became effective immed
iately.' Eighty-two, however, cover
ing a wide range of subjects, will
become effective Monday at the ex
piration of the legal ninety day
period.
Probably the most important of the
group is the Cone state bonding bill.
That measure gives the state of Ne-
braska monopoly on the bonding of
almost every public official in the
state. Granting broad authority to
the state board of educational lands
and funds, selected to administer the
act, the bill may have to face court
attacks before long.
A $3,000 a year secretary and a
$3, COO a year counsel will supervise
operation of the bonding fund for
the board, but under a strict inter
pretation of the law the board may
become a sort of dictator of public
officialdom in the state.
The law, which appropriated cost of construction is collected un
$1 00,000 to start the fund, grants jer the levy.
the board authority to cancel any
official's bond for cause, resulting
In the official's suspension. Only
rural school officers and police
are exempted from being bonded by
the state.
The board has sixty days In which
to begin bonding and thirty days
in which to set up a schedule of
rates.
Power Plants.
Another measure of significant im
portance which goes into effect Mon
day is Senate File 25 over which a
scorching fight raged in the last leg
islature. It permits cities and vil
lages to acquire or build new power
plants, transmission lines or distri
bution systems with revenue bonds.
The bonds, under the terms of the
law, sponsored by Senator J. C. Dc
Gowan of Norfolk and Senator A. T.
Howard of Scottsbluff, may be re
paid from earnings and not from
taxes. The law permits many muni
cipalities to set up their own distri
bution systems in order to buy power
from the hydroelectric developments
at Columbu3 and Sorth Platte.
Many believe also that Nebraska
municipalities will be enabled to con
nect with other municipal plants of
other cities.
Designed to halt enforced idleness
at the state penitentiary and reform
atory, H. R. 626 by Representative
C. E. Frank of Norfolk appropriated
$80,000 to establish a prison indus
tries program. Of that amount, S70,
C00 was granted for equipment and
the remainder as a revolving fund.
The board of control, which will
set up the program, announced Fri
day it had plans well under way for
the program but declined to make
any anouncements until about Sept.
1 when It anticipates the entire pro
gram will be complete.
Other important measures:
II. R. 7 by Representative Charles
R. Herrick of Curtis Requires any
public officeholder who files for an
other office which will begin before
hls old term expires to resign on
the date the new office will begin,
regardless of the outcome of the elec
tion. Blind Pensions.
H. R. 315 by Representative Ed
ward J. Dugan of Omaha and Repre
sentative Claire E. Owens of Exeter
Authorizes the state's ninety-three
counties to levy up to one-half mill
for mandatory pensions of S30 a
month for needy blind persons. The
federal government under the terms
of the security measure recently en
actd, will pay half that pension. Rep
resentative Owens is blind.
S. F. 30 by Senator Archie C.
O'Brien of Grand Island Creates an
aeronautics commission to supervise
Nebraska. The act authorizes the
commission to acquire and maintain
aviators, airplanes and airports in
an airplane for its own use and that
of other state officers. The five mem
bers are unsalaried but a secretary,
as yet unselected, will be paid 54,
000 a year. It will be supported by
the regular 4 cent gasoline tax on
airplane fuel.
S. F. 273 by Senator R. C. Re
gan of Columbus Re-establishes the
state library commission of five un
salaried members. The bill wa3 in-
trnrtncoH onr) nncsoH at thp KriArifip
request of Mrs. R. L. Cochran, the
governor's wife. The legislature ap
propriated $25,000 for the board 10
spend and a companion measure au
thorizes counties or groups of coun
ties to vote a special tax of up to one
mill for rural libraries.
II. R. 500 by Representative Ray
Thomas of Clay Center and Repre
sentative Ben H. Busboom of Crete
Authorizes school districts to levy
a ten year installment tax of up to
three mills to finance school construc
tion in line with Nebraska's estab
lished "pay as you go" policy. The
law provides none of the money may
ho cnATi t until 70 nercpnt cit lVf tntal
Firemen Pension.
S. F. 140 by Senator J. C. Mc
Gowan of Norfolk Levies a 2 per-
cent tax on fire insurance premiums
collected in cities. The taxes thus
collected will be distributed to cities
on a basis of population for the pur
pose of setting up or helping to pay
firemen's pensions. The Omaha fire
men requested the bill be passed.
The state insurance department has
instructed fire insurance companies
to submit their assessments this
month and talk has been heard the
law would be attacked as uncon
stitutional. Laws which go into effect Mon
day will have such an effect on the
election next year that citizens may
have trouble recognizing the old bal
lot. Instead of balloting for a poli
tical house of representatives and
senate voters will cast their x's for
non-partisan members of a one house
legislature composed of forty-three
persons.
The ballots, too, will be different
Evreything to be voted on will be on
the same ballot all the political
candidates, the non-political candi
dates and Initiative and referendum
proposals.
Voters will get two ballots, how
ever. The legislature found it could
not place constitutional amendments
proposed by the legislature on the
same ballot without submitting a
constitutional amendment to that ef
fect, so they let the matter be.
They did present two constitutioi
al matters for the voters to decide in
November of 1936. One was whether
or not the office of the land commis
sioner should be abolished and the
other was whether or not double lia
bility requirements on bank stock
should be repealed.
Searl S. Davis was a visitor Thurs
day at Lincoln where he was called
to look after some matters of busi
ness and visiting for a short time.
