This upswing shows prosperous concuuons paramount thruout the state altho there are many of the smaller businesses like filling sta tion operators and automobile dealers who have been in the throes of priority slashes. Bank Accounts Up. Bank account deposits, most re liable indicator of business condi tions, rose some 29.9 percent dur ing the first nine months of this year as contrasted with the same period last year. This represents a marked in crease in the money put in circula tion thru business transactions and for the purchase of war savings bonds. Corespondingly farm prod ucts and livestock sales are 55.6 percent larger for the first half of 1942 as ocmpared with a similar space last year. One of Eight. Nebraska is one of eight states uiai nave an increase of 50 per cent or over. Market in? of iiv. stock and livestock products and me larger sales of wheat during June account ror most of the addi tional farm income. Along industrial lines, produc tion continues to rise as may be evidenced by advancing electrical power consumption, pay rolls and employment. Electrical power consumption increased 18.1 per cent over the first eie'ht months of last year. Payrolls doubled the Inrrpas in employment in the state with a 38.6 spurt with employment up omy xv.i. importance of these fig ures is that it shows that tm braska industries are turnine- out more ano. more war materials.

Which probably has considerable to do with the fact that' the House, after these many years, has finally passed an ami. poll tax bill over the shameless protests of the poll tax; "bloc", many members of which have their seats only by r. tue of the fact that poll tax laws in their states prevent many persons from voting. ' It's a good bill. But it faces a rough course in the smmte where red tape and technicalities threaten to choke it off as well as a similar bill sponsored by Senator Pepper of Florida. Hunter college made a gesture that, multiplied many times elsewhere, might turn the trick. Two thousand students nn.l members of the faculty signed and sent to Congress a ueliliim 1 in favor of the anti-poll tax bill.
