Ol
Former Congressman Terry Car

the state liyuor commission Thurs
day, with his attorney, R. T. York,
end obtained a renewal of his beer
license which three of the five city
touneilmen had refused to renew
when it expired Nov. 17. Carpenter
testified in person, and his attorney
backed him up in the assertion, that
the council had acted arbitrarily,
that there had been no remonstrances
filed, and that Carpenter had re
ceived 200 letters from people favor
ing reissuance.
Carpenter had expressed anxiety
to obtain a license without delay,
raying Tharkrgiving is coming on
and he needs the trade of his beer
customers to stimulate trade in his
More where the beer department is
located. He said he had a total of
?17.r..000 invested, of which ?10,000
is in beer equipment and fixtures.
He did not think the fact that his
father-in-law, George Hillerege, kept
the liquor store nearby had anything
to do with the council's refusal to
renew his beer license. He said the

'T'lIE AMERICAN tradition for hospitality reaches its peak each year
at Thanksgiving. Then, if no other time, do we call in our families

"The council told me," said Car

give any reason for refusing to renew
the license. They have issued licenses
to others since they refuse dme."
He quoted from court decisions
under the liquor law in force years
ego to show that when one complied
with all provisions of the law and
had run an orderly place and no
remonstrances were filed, the li
censing board could not arbitrarily
rc-fuse a license.

Carpenter that he had not paid a 52

Gass.

Television at
Popular Prices
Baffles Science
jB. C. A. Perfecting Machine That Is
Advancing Time of General
Use of Television.
New York, Nov. 21. Television at
popular prices, is one of the toughest
proLlcms that was ever put up to
it is fairly obvious that the American
public is not going to pay four mil
lion dollars or even erne million dol
lars, or even a trifling one thousand
dollars for a home receiving set,
even if the results approach perfec
tion. A survey made by Collier's Week
ly indicates that television sets, in
mass production, will have to come
down to a retail price of about $100
.before the whole matter comes into
the realm of practical everyday life.
The magazine's report on its study
isays in part:
"Public demand for television is
urging the manufacturing companies
cn, and the minds of great scientists
are responding to thi3 demand. For
7 5 years there has been patient re
search along the lines which are
only now beginning to show results,
rcsult3 which have recently suc
ceeded in producing the most mar
velous device known to man.
"The scientists have produced a
television machine which Is practi
cally perfect. But note this: They
have produced it only in the labor
atory. Television as it was inspected
and evaluated by this group. has
never yet been given a practical try
cut in the field where it will have
to ocem In contact with its 'public.'
That part of it though, does not
worry the scientists a bit.
"As far as iuv reaction o: the pub
lic to television is concerned the at
titude of the men who perfected the
iconoscope ar.d the kinescope is ex
actly the same- as that of tho two
Frenchmen who transmitted the first
Tl,,. irov.
. . . ... .
ting created an eye wnicn not oniy
substantiates their theories but also
functions perfectly, they have wash
ed their hands of it because they just
won't be bothered with testing it in
the field, taking the bugs out of it, if
it has any, and commercializing it.
"Xot ten per cent of the men who
d research wor kare at all inter
ested in perfecting their devices for
practical use. And therefore, tele
vision, which is about to emerge
from the laboratory for a thorough
workout, will from now on be in the
hand3 of a set of men whose business
it will be to determine the means
v. hereby a television system accept
able to the public can be set up.
"The question, therefore, in which
we are deeply interested as to when
we will have television In our homes
is now bein gdecided. But don't
get excited about it. and think that
be-fore long you are going to have a
modern marvel in your living-room,
because it will probably be quite a
while yet before a television set that
is of real value to the public is on
the market.
"In the laboratory sense, television
is here, but as a system for the
popular transmission of pictures it
is not here, nr-.- is it even around
the corner. There are numerous rea
sons why this is true. In the first
place, from the apparatus standpoint,
the tiansmission of pictures Is en
tirely different from the transmis
sion ot sound. Any oia sounu re
ecivcr, even the amateur crystal sets
of years ago, can tit 111 pick up pro
grams from any standard transmit-
tin station. Thus sound sets do not
become obsolete. Lniess tney are
fully standardised, television sets
will. The reason i3 thif.: In tele
vision every receiver s-it must be
perfectly co-ordinated with the trans
mitter at the brcadcas.tir.g station,
or else it will not work."
This means that, after a few mil
lion receivers are sold to the public,
the television art is rrozen to their
capabilities, because any material
change in tho system, due to new dis
coveries would instantly render all
the receivers inoperative. The manu
facturers of television equipment,
therefore, must be absolutely sure
they are right before they cau go
ahead.
However, they will bo. As the re
sult of field tests which the radio in
dustry is now prepared to make it
seems certain that within a couple of
yearn, it will be able to produce
standardized transmitters and re
ceivers that will provide the people
with satisfactory television for quite
a number o years.

Wabash Hews
Keith Munford, who sprained his
wrist so badly during his first attempt
to pick corn this season, after being
laid up for some time, Is now back on
the job again, taking it a bit easier
than at the first trial.
Miss Opal Knaupe, who is a very
competent nurse, has been secured to
care for Grandmother Bosworth and
is seeing that all the wants of the
patient are fully satisfied, giving her
the best of care.
Mrs. Jessie Jones, of near Cheney,
who has been here visiting and as
sisting in the care of her mother,
Mrs. Susan Bosworth, returned to her
home for a short time last Wednes
day. Ralph Dorr, who has been confined
to his home and bed for a number of
days on account of an attack of rheu
Tnatism, is reported as being some
what improved and is is so he can be
up and about but not yet able to re
sume his work. The many friends of
Mr. Dorr will be pleased to learn of
his improvement.
Mrs. Henrietta Lawton has not
been feeling very well of late, being
confined to her home and bed for some
time with a severe attack of neural
gia. She is now reported as showing
some improvement, however, which
will be pleasing news to her friends.
Went Over Big
The box supper which was given
in connection with a program prepar
ed by the teacher and pupils of the
Wabash school, on Friday evening of
last week, was a great success. The
entertainment was splendid and the
various performers were applauded
and complimented. The house was
filled to capacity and some were even
crowded out on account of lark of
room. The sale of boxes proved very
successful also, and the proceeds of
the evening amounted to slightly over
$2 8, which will be used in the pur
chase of supplies for the school not
otherwise provided for. Congratula
tions to the teacher and her small
group of pupils who made the enter
tainment possible, and whose efforts
were so amply rewarded.
Suffered Sudden Illness

down that way, but things are look
ing fine this fall with plenty of mois
ture to assure crops next year; also
that business conditions are very
promising down that way.
En route home, they had breakfast
in Missouri, dinner in Kansas and
supper in Nebraska.
They say the crops in Kansas were
the poorest of any place they visited

Heavy Tax
Burden is Borne
by the Motorist
Figures Show That in the Year
1934 Nebraskans Paid a
Total of $15,826,049.
In compiling the motor vehicle
taxes Nebraska motorists paid dur
ing 1934, the Automobile club found
that local, federal and state taxes
amounted to $15,826,049.00. Total
taxes on the motor vehicles for the
country as a whole reached $1,202,
414,729, of which J950.263.000 were
state and local taxes and $252,151.
729 federal taxes.
This, according to Secretary Agnes
Neylon is the highest in the history
of motordom, and is equivalent to
a tax of $38.11 for each of the ap
proximately 25,000,000 motor ve
hicles in the United States.
The value of the average automo
bile last year was slightly under
$200. On this basis, the motorists of
the nation pay taxes at the rate of
24.2 percent of valuation and during
the average life of the vehicle, eight
and one-fourth years, the taxes
amount to double the car's value.
The continuously Increasing bur
den on the automobile thru taxa
tion ,is a threat to the future de
velopment of highway transportation
and farm to market roads, she said.
High motor taxes encourage the di
version of motor tax revenues toi
nonnighway purposes and diversion
in turn encourages the further in
crease of motor tax rates.
Miss Neylon said special taxes on
motorists are justified only on the
ground that they are used solely for
road purposes. "There 13 an immed
iate need of a definition as to what
proportion of road costs the motorist
should bear in relation to the bene
fits accruing to the community as a
whole and to the other classes ot
users."
DRAKE 'HEIR' NOT NAMED
Chicago. Identity or the purport
ed only living heir of Sir Franci3
Drake, from whom all financial bless
ings were to flow to middle western
ers who put up cash for a share In
his ancestor's riche3, remained a mys
tery in federal court. O. B. William
son, a retired postal inspector, testi
fied that Oscar M. Hartzell, alleged
head of the Drake Estate association,
told hi mthe name of the heir was
"his secret."
Williamson wa3 among the first
witnesses for the government in the
trial of Hartzell and forty others on
charges,, of mail fraud. He said he
was a member of the reception com
mittee of federal officials which met
Hartzell when he returned from,
England in February, 1933.
Recalling the meeting on a liner.
Williamson said Hartzell was will
ing to discuss everything about the
Drake estate but the identity of the
"heir," who, he told Williamson,
had given him an assignment to
prosecute the claim for the sixteenth
century buccaneer's booty.

and to "the principle of r-ovc mmc-M

As the keyr-tonc of a nanaf-'i cur

dollar issue of noii-int .n .-t
bearing treasury notes, or in ofTcct
paper money, instead of interest
bearing bond issues to finanr-e expen

projects.
It proposed that in place of the
interest which must be paid cn
bonds the currency be rccc-eried at
the rate of 4 percent a year, retiring
the issue in twenty-five years.
Discussing the move, Louis J.
Taber, master of the grange, pointed
to English currency management
end said:
"The English pound has retained
constancy of purchasing power more
than any other currency in the
world. It is possible to stabilize the

Bank of England and the English
government can do anything we can
not do."
