No agreement was reached at
Thursday's afternoon conference of
Governor Cochran, members of state
assistance committee and other inter
ested persons, over the proposal that
twenty counties opposing the gaso
line relief tax lav should dismiss
their suit. County Attorney Pollock
of Staiton countv. a leader in the
filing of the suit, held out for a
court order declaring void that part
of the law which provides that pro
ceeds of a 1 cent gasoline tax fos re
lief should be distributed on a basis
of Eeed.
The law provides that proceeds of
this tax be used for old age pension
and relief, and it is now apparent
that all the money will be needed for
old age pensions. The counties suing
are those which aren't on relief and
so are required to pay the tax with
out any prospect of getting any of
its benefits. It is anticipated federal
relief will be halted in November at
the latest.
Assistant Attorney General Mur
phy said the state asks for dismissal
of the case and County Attorney Pol-
0 in the morning i lock countered with an offer to file
a statement with the court that the
twenty counties suing are willing to
change their plea by stating that
they will be satisfied with an order

to see some of the very best of crops
and some that were hardly worth
calling crops at all. In Perkins coun

Kore Abont llason-Beiter Wedding
Since the article in our last issue,
telling of the wedding of Mrs. Minnie
Mason, of Greenwood, and Alvin Rei
ter of Culpertino. Calif., we have re
ceived some further details. Their
marriage was consumated on August
11, Rev. William C. Spaan officiating.
A small group of friends were attend
ants. They had been sweethearts some
thirty years ago, as stated in our
former article, but drifted apart when
each moved in a different direction,
and lost track of each other. Some
two years ago, they learned through
relatives of the whereabouts of each
other and that both were unattached.
Correspondence followed, resulting in
Mrs. Mason going to San Jose, where
the wedding was performed as prev
iously related.

Ladies Enjoyed Fine Keeting
The Dorcas society of the Christian
church met at the church parlors last
Friday, having a splendid program
and otherwise enjoying a fine time
together. Mesdames Charles Martin,
Warren Boucher and William Franks
were the hostesses. At the business
session that followed the informal
meeting and rendition of the program,
it was concluded to have the church
building painted on the inside as well
as papered and arrangements will be
made to have this work done in a
short time.
A contest has just been concluded,
in which there were two sides com
peting with each other for the acqui
sition of new members, and with the
new and old members present, the
house was well filled. The sides rep
resented were designated as the Blue
and the Gold, the latter winning over
the former by some 45 points. As a
result, the Blues will have to enter
tain the Golds some time in the near
future.
Cass county farmers produce a

phrase "distributed on a basis oi

act valid with that exception. Pol
lock is to confer with the twenty
I counties and their legal representa
tives and another conference is to be
held to agree upon the nature of the
statement to be filed by the counties
and by the attorney general.
May Have No Effect.
Whether the court will pay any at
tention to filings of the parties is a
matter of speculation. It is admitted
by all concerned that the parties to
the suit cannot "stipulate" or tell
the court what the law is or what is
constitutional and what is not, as
that is the sole power of the court.
Motions of any sort are allowed to be
filed in a suit prior to Judgment.
The suit challenging the constitu
tionality of the 1 cent gas tax for re-j
lief or old age assistance was filed
as an original action in the supreme
court June 6 and argued and sub
mitted a short time later. Stipulated
decrees In suits not affecting consti
tutionality of law but merely relating
to rights of litigants have been filed
with the supreme court and issued
by that court as agreed decrees. In
this case intervenors have not been
consulted as to their attitude. They
are the Nebraska Petroleum Market
ers, inc., and Calvin J. Stover, as a
taxpayer.
In the conference it was argued
that counties which are plaintiffs
have nothing to lose if they dismiss
or lose this case, as relief distribu
tions are soon to end and may have
already ceased, but if they win the
case and the tax is declared void
they will lose distribution of the tax
for old age pensions. It was urged
that if the entire tax is distributed
for old age pensions all counties will
share on an equitable basis as one
county has probably as many eligible
pensioners 65 years of age aa any
other considering population, and
that this basis is a fair one for dis
tribution. Fear Loss of Aid.
If the twenty counties win the suit
it is claimed there will be practi
cally no state funds to meet federal
aid for old age pensions.
If the attorney general files a state
ment with the supreme court, Assist
ant Attorney General Murphy said it
would probably recite that under
changed conditions, with relief distri
bution on the verge of going out of
existence, all relief to be turned over
to WPA, the state is willing to have
the clause "distributed on a basisof
need" declared void and the balance
of. the act in force, but it will not
change the state's defense and admit
that any part of the act is invalid.
The 1 cent gasoline tax will raise
an estimated 3 million dollars in the
sixteen months it is to be effective,
up to July 1, 1936, when the gover
nor is authorized to declare the tax
ceased if he desires. This fund, plus
about 1 million dollars a year from
liquor taxes, is what the state expects
to use to match federal aid for pen
sion. The July report of the state
treasurer showed S7 9 8,2 19 in the
state assistance fund from gas tax,
and the August report will add at
least 1300,000 to this, making more
than 1 million dollars in the fund
