Non-Partisan League
i Wants Referendum
on Four New Laws
Fifty-five thousand signatures
about 16,000, in excess of the number
required by the constitution to suspemi
a statute enacted by the legislature
have been secured up to this time to
referendum petitions against four of
the laws passed last winter, which are
being attacked by the non-partisan
league and several other organiza
tions, says the Lincoln Star.
According to C. A. Sorenson and F.
L. Bollen, in charge of the referendum
undertaking, signed petitions have
been coming in at the rate of several
thousand a day, and the two men ex
tct that the total will be pushed up to
76,000 when all returns are in. The
nly counties from which petitions
have not been received are Sarpy and
Dakota. All petitions were circulated
by volunteer workers who receive no
pay-
The labor union3 of Omaha, the
farm bureau federation, and a farm
newspaper assisted the non-partisan
league in getting the petitions signed
tip. They are directed against these
acts:
S. F. 305, requiring state wide reg
istration for voters.
H. R. C2, amending the primary law.
H. R. 617, the anti-picketing law.
A paragraph in H. R. 193, a bank
ing bill, which requires a certificate
of "public necessity, convenience and
advantage" before a new bank can se
ct"" a charter.
The petitions were filed with the
jcretary of state on Monday, July 25,
and the occasion was celebrated by a
meeting and speeches in Represent
tive hall at the capitol.
Between 800 and 1,000 were se
cured in Lancaster county and 3,000
from Douglas.
It cost about $3,000 for printing,
postage, clerk hire and other items to
pet the petitions circulated and signed,
according to Messrs. Sorensen and
Bollen.
HUMOR AND MATRIMONY.
(Chicago Herald.)
A man got up the other day and said
it was his opinion that a sense of hum
or was so important in life that it
ought to be put right into the marriage
ceremony.
! io noorltece in ndil that the man
who got up and said it w as a bachelor. J
If re hact been marrieu ne wouiun i
have been allowed to get up in the first
place, and even if he had managed that
he wouldn't have dared say anything
so radical.
This gentleman's suggestion was
that, since the "obey" had been ampu
tated from the service the loving
couple should be required to "love,
honor and have a sense of humor" un
til death do them part.
Undoubtedly, a sense of humor has
its place in the home, but we don't see
the advantage of thrusting it into the
wedding service.
If you really have a sense of humor
in working order you wouldn't be
doing anything so ridiculous as prom-
onvthinir. A man crettincr mar
ried is in no condition to enjoy a joke
-even if he is one.
When a man can hardly keep a wife,
the way prices are, how can he be ex
pected to keep a sense of humor?
Even if he did manage to scrape up the
remnants of one after the wedding it
would be knock ed out by the first of
the month, when the bills begin to
come in. ,
Generally speaking, a sense of hu
mor in matrimony is about as much
ie as a map of Europe, published in
1913.
Annther thins- the innocent people .
would like to know is whether jazz'
musicians really get any pleasure oct 1
f what they are deiaf. '
Alliance Post of the J
T. P. A. Organizing to
Bring Down Hotel Rates
The members of Tost M, T. T. A., of
Alliance are oitranintr to nut on a cam
paign in western Nebraska, the effect
of which will be to bring down the
cost of hotel accommodations, includ
ing" meals, in this territoiy. There
has been a committee unofficially ap
pointed, but the names will not be
made public, for obvious reasons. As
one of the traveling men who is in
terested in the cnr-ipalpn put it, "I
have no desire to be shoved into an at
tic bedroom and be given sowbelly and
beans for my meals for the next three
months." The situation is serious, hc- ,
cording to the traveling men. The
wholesale hou.es have be-n feeling
the pinch of rising expenses for sales
men during the past several months.
Railway travel costs no Icfr than 3.9
cents per mile, and the average price
for a room in a hotel, at the rates
given commercial travelers, is two or
three times what it was before the
war. It has got to the point, the
traveling men say, where they have to
bring In a lot of business before they
can show the profit on a trip to the
head of the firm.
According to the traveling men, the
hotel men themselves will be among
the chief losers if the rates don't come
down. The Alliance T. P. A.'s aren't
going to pull any raw stuff, but the
bosses Will present some facts to the
hotel men in clear, concise form, so
that the point can be seen and undef
stood. It's got to the place, they say,
where either the expense accounts
must be lowered, or else from f0 to 70
per cent of the men on the road will
be called in and told to hunt other
jobs.
One of the members has compiled a
summary of the supplies purchased by
hotels, showing that there have been
reductions of from 10 to 75 per cent in
the cost of practically every item.
Flour has decreased f0 per cent since
Mv, 1920; potatoes, 75 per cent; sugar
70 per cent; kitchen equipment, 22 to
by ler cent; taDie nnens, ju mi i
per cent; bed linen, 50 per cent; car
pets and floor coverings, 40 per cent;
foods and cooking fats, 20 to GO per
cent; and so on down the line.
The traveling men are also a unit
in favoring the passage by congress if
the Kahn bill in the house and tbe
Watson bill in the senate, -which pio
vides for the issuance of mileage
books, good on anv road, at the rate tf
1V cent3 per mile.
Mrs. M. P. Powles of Minatare, for
merly Miss Pauline Scott of Chadron
ind for several years a teacher in the
Alliance schools, stopped in Alliance
this morning. Mrs. Powles is on her
way to Chadron for a snort visit wun
her parents, Mr. and Mrs. E. P. ;.eott,
Mr. and Mrs. Gene Grisham of
Erskine, Alberta, Canada, who are
making an auto trip from Coffey ville,
Kas., to their home in Canada, stopped
in Alliance for a few days visit with
Rev. and Mrs. b. J. t,pier. j
The initiation of the Eastern StrJ
will be postponed until the third Tues
day in August. . 4
riai pnm Kchaffer left Saturday
for a few days outing at the Summer
camp or her lamer near nenry, isru.
I Mrs. J. A. Barnes accompanied her
husband to Hemington on a business
trip Saturday.
( A. L. Carrol of Hemingford was in
l town Monday morning and purchased
a new Reo six of the A. H. Jones Co.
i F. A. Roush of Chadron stopped
' over in Alliance last Saturday on his
way to Arthur on business. Mr.
Roush says the Alliance-Chadron road
i in fairly good condition and only one
bridge, the one at Pepper Creek, is
j washed out. The grading is progress
ing rapidly on both sides of the river.
To the business man, retail or wholesale; to the manufacturer; to the commis
tion man; to the trucking company, the Ford Model T One Ton Truck makes
an irresistible appeal because it has in its chassis all the merits of the original
Ford car; the wonderful Ford Model T Motor, the dependable Vanadium steel
chassis, and the manganese bronze worm-drive. A strongly built truck that
serves satisfactorily and lasts in service If these statements were not truer
the demand for Ford Trucks wouldn't be so constantly on the increase. We
will be pleased to take your order for one or more Ford Trucks, will see that you
get reasonably prompt delivery, and will give you an after service that insures
the constant service of the Truck. But don't wait too long. Get your order
in promptly.

RANDOM SHOTS
We can't tell whether is the newest
stye in matrimony, or whether the
tired head-writer needed another word
to fill out the line, but Sunday's Lin
coln Star contained this one: "Miss
Fern McCorkle Becomes Summer
Bride of Ernest Hook."
The very pretty girl is at a decided
disadvantage in the business world,
says the society editress of a Nebras
ka daily, who interviewed a lot of em
ployers about their pulchritudinal pref
erences as applied to office help.
However, the pretty girls make up for
it outside the office, and the average
girl probably would rather be pretty
than be private secretary to John P.
Rockefeller.
T makes a man feel older when he
follows up the news of people he used
to know. Harry Wilcosrn has a
daughter that's old enough to get mar
ried, r.n( r rank Mills now is the proud
daddy of five babies, with two sets of
twins.
Today's Best Story.
One of his buddies has jut spilled
the best story we ever heard anyone
tell on Ed Reardon. It seems that
luring the war, Ed once got a Sunday
pass, and was a. ked by a young lady
he met on the street if he would care
to go up to her house for a cup of
coffee. Th girls were always doing
something like that during the war.
On arriving at the houe, Ed was
introduced to the girl's mother, who,
just as they always do. made apologies
for her appearance. They chatted a
minute or two, and then the mother
said:
"I'll go and put on the percolator."
"Don't bother about that," Ed told
her. "You look all right as you are.
Y'ou don't need to dress up."
Tom Gee went to church last Sun
day. This hot weather is causing a lot of
the boys to ponder on the hereafter.
Boiler-plate wit: "When a man
reaches for his hip pocket nowadays,
you don't know whether to shoot in
defense or get ready to kiss him."
Mickie, the printer's devil, quotes
Pop Brown as saying: "They's two
ways of wastin' yer breath one is
hollering down a rain barrel and the
other is tellin' a girl she looks prettier
without that red stuff on her face."
One of the Bayard newspapers re
marks that a "boiling alley" may be
established there.
