Benefit to U. S. Farmer
By GRAFTON 8. WILSOX.
DmaHa Dm lmi Wlr.
Washington, Aug. 19. Dccition of
the Kutuan loviet government re
cently announced to export at lent
a part of the grain crop now tntur.
i"g in Knti wilt work to the benefit
(if American grain grower rather
llun injur tl m, in the opinion of
government or peril. Indignation
voiced in many quarter in this coun
try at tlie announced intention of
the Moscow authoritiet to export
grain when the country it Jutt re
covering from th mot terrililc fain
ine in in hiiiory it unwarranted, ofti
cia't here airrt.
Far from operating to the detri
ment of th Kuttian people, thit
rotirie of action, expert here be
lieve, it dictated by atern ncretsity.
The misunderstanding on thia lub
jfft arose, they point out, from th
fart that the aovict delegate! at The
Hague, either intentionally or unin
tentionally, gave the impression that
grain wai to be exported from Rut
ma this year became there wai
turpltit above the needi of the Kut
ian population.
Since it wat well known here that
no audi atirplua could poisibly exiit,
some Americana jumped to the con
clusion that Lenin and Trotaky in
tended to disregard th needi of the
peasant population and truit to the
charity of the American relief ad
ministration and other organization!
to bring the peasant population
through another winter of atarvation.
No Surplui Grain.
Inquiry developed that thia a
Mimption wai entirely unwarranted,
official! her say. The truth of the
matter i that no nirplui of grain
rxisti in Rursia today nor will it
exist after the present harvest ii
passed. In th southern part of Kui
sia there apparently ii a good crop
of grain, especially in the Ukraine
imd the Caucasus, once known as
the "granary of Europe." In the
northern and northwestern dittricts,
however, there is not enough grain,
as has always been the case even in
nre-revolutionary dayi.
Movement of grain from the touth-
ward, however, will he virtually im
possible thia year, it is asserted, ow
ing to the terrinie disintegration oi
the transportation lines of Rusria.

Lincoln, Aug. 19. (Special.) To

for the first fiscal year of the bien
nium besrinning July I. ivil, were
$11,537,592.37, according to the an
nual report aubmitted to uovernor
McKelvie today by Phil Brosa, kc
retary of finance.
The report hows that estimated
total of funda available for the bi
ennium will be $24,603,696 83 and un
lesi emergencic! arise, making great
er expenditure! necessary during the
ensuing year, there will be a sur
plus of $1,528,512.09 at the end of the
biennium.
Due to Code. .
This is the first time in the history
of the state that expenditures of the
first year of a biennium were to ar
ranged that a aurplus at the end of
the biennium looked probabtc. It is
due state, officials say, to inaugura
tion of the budget system of govern
ment under the administrative code
which forced all expending agencies
to outline nuarterlv expenditures in
advance and empowered the govern
or to force these agencies to live
within their appropriations.
flie Bros report shows tnat
248,531.41 of the total expenditures
are derived from cash funds raised
through licenses, fees, land rentals
and other sources independent of
trxation. The cash fund represents
28 per cent of the total expenditures.
The remaining .! per cent, ot
289,060.96, was raised through taxa
tion,. This 58.Z89.UoU.yo derived Dy tax
ation is divided by Bross under three
captions: operating expense, fixed
charges, public improvements. The
onej-ating expense took 60 per cent
of the total; fixed charges, 3 per
cent and public improvements, 37
per cent.
Koad building included.
"Oocratintr expense" entails sal
aries and current expenses of 37 di
visions of government established at
the request of the people. Public
improvements'' includes' new build
ing! to properly house unfortunates
and evil doers, and the completion of
the 7-year program of road building
demanded under laws pa$.?d during
the Morehead administration. "Fixed

Tariff Measure
Final Vole on Bill 48 to 25
Action Edns Four Months
Deliate Now Goes
to Conference.
Washington. Aug. 19. (By A. P.)
The administration tariff bill, offi
cially "the tariff act of 1922." wai
passed late today by the icnate after
four monthi of debate. It now goei
to conference. The vote wai 48
to 25.
Senator Borah of Idaho wai the
only republican to vote against the
measure. Three democrats Brous
sard, Kendrick and Ransde.Il voted
for it. . ... ,
Waslrngton, Aug. 19. Although
it worked until close to mid
night last nikht, the senate was
back on the job half an hour earlier
than usual today in order to clean
up amendments of individual sena
tors. At the getaway last night it
was agreed that debate should be
limited to five minutes to each sena
tor on each amendment and that the
administration features, including the
so-called flexible tariff provisions,
should first be considered.
Aside from these features, most of
the. highly controverted individual
amendments were disposed of during
the more than 12 hours that the sen
ate labored yesterday. By substantial
majorities, the 2.3 cents a pound rate
on sugar and the 33 cents a pound on
the clean content of raw wool were
approved. Both matters led to long
and sharp debates and senators visi
bly were tiring before the end of the
session.
Borah Attacks Bill.
Washington, Aug. 19. Attacking
the provisions of the tariff bill pro
posing broad authority for the presi
dent to increase or decrease duties,
Senator Borah, republican, Idaho, de
clared today in the senate that he
could not give his support to the
measure on the final vote unless these
provisions were eliminated. He said
he could not arrive at the conclusion
that they were constitutional.
Senator Jones, republican, Wash
ington, taid his views on the tariff
were that the people of the country
were getting more and more weary of
the proposition of congress undertak
ing to fix taritT rates.
"It is impossible," he said, "for a
committee of congress or congress to
acquaint itself with every business in
the country, and yet that is what it
would have to do if it acts wisely in
fixing rates."
The presidential powers provisions
fmall were reapproved, 45 to 26,
after the section relating to coal tar,
dyes and synthetic chemicals and ex
plores had been so amended that
any decrease of rates decided upon
by the president would become oper
ative within 15 days after the ittumg
of a proclamation, instead of 60 days,
as originally planned.
The dual vote u these sections of
the bill v.a along almost strictly
parly lines. Senator Borah being th
only republican to vote agjitu them,

Justice for Workers
By PAUL GREER.
Lincoln, Aug. 19. Close under the
dome of the state rapitol, on the
fourth floor of that remarkable struc
eure, is th department of labor.
From 'its attic-like window! the vn
itor may peer down upon the founda
tion of the new capitol building tai

of its task, I
The secretary of lal or, Frank A
Kennedy, concludes a conference
with the employer of a man a no hat
lost half his hand in an accident. Mr.
Kennedy comei tu meet you and ex
plains that the workman it entitled
to $1.50(1 under the comprniatinn law,
for he will never be able lo work well
again. 1 lie secretary never for an
instant loses his enthusiasm for hit
work. It is clear that he puts his
whole heart into this job.
What will happen to this labor de
partment if the code system under
which it was established is donerway
with? Immediately on hearing this
question his eyes blaze and iiit gria-
zlrd hair teems to bristle.

"If the code is repealed," he as
sertt, "the labor department will be
destroyed. Neither the workmen!
compensation act nor any other la
bor law had any support until this
administration. Nebraska would lim
ply go back to the old labor bureau
that originated in 1887 at a top o
labor. We wouldn't need more than
a corner on the new capitol. I want
to make as atrong an appeal as I
know how to the working men and
women of the state to prevent th
destruction of this department by
any political party. I am not in pol
itics, but I would be willing to take
the stump again Charlie Bryan to
block this raid."
The department of labor ii one of
the six cabinet division! estab
lished under the civil administration
code which the democratic platform
promises to repeal. There are only
four persons on, itf payroll nere in
the.capjtol. There are two more in
the HraiTch office in the count court
house at Omaha. Originally it had
an appropriation of $40,358 for this
two-year period; by thrift and good
management the secretary laved 10
per cent on hii estimated expendi
tures, which enabled the special ses
sion to reduce the appropriation to
$34,688.
Paid by Insurance.
fn the three and one-half years
since the passage of the code bill,
$1,875,875 has been paid out to 42,
155 victims of industrial accidents.
This sum is four times as large as
that paid out in fhe first four years
of the compensation law, which went
into effect in 1915. The money did
not come from the state tracsury, but

I mcnt issued by Hart today compar
ing uic connuion o ine vi state
banks June 30, 1922, with condition?
March 25, 1922.
The Hirt .statement shows that
I the actual reserve June 30, 1922, is
SS1.701.K4.5.K8. This is an excess of
$16,709,245.88 over the reserves re
quired tinder the law. Tin reserve
demanded by law is $34,992,600.
Building of the iiiimeii.se reserve
has required constant pressure from
the state banking department and as
a result Hart believes Nebraska
banks are ready to cope with emer
gencies letter at this time than at
any previous period in years. Much
credit is given by banking officials
for the splendid reserve showing to
the prompt appreciation of inid
western conditions by the federal
Kovrrnment and its advance of large
sums through the War Finance cor
