TO SHE CLIENT Lincoln Attorney Says His Ad. vice Was Followed by Man Sentenced for Contempt Of Court. Lincoln. Neb., May 16.—H. H. Wil son, prominent Lincoln lawyer whose client, F. E. Schaaf, hotel promoter, drew a sentence to jail for contempt of court for following the attorney's advice, was in supremo court Fri day asking for a reversal of the order of the district court. Schaaf, after being enjoined from interfering with the hotel company property, tried to get it away from the re ceiver or trustee by having the di rectors admit bankruptcy, which would have given the federal court jurisdiction. Mr. Wilson said that he believed his client had the right to go into bankruptcy court, and that no court order could prevent his exercise of that right. He believed that to be the law, and said that if attorneys were to be criticized and their clients fined for following their advice on a reas onably dlsputabled question of law, this would compel young lawyers to face other dangers, on entering the bar, than obscurity or poverty. If the same principle applied trial judges reversed by the supreme court should sentence themselves to Jail, while supreme judges who reverse themselves ought to contribute some fines To the school fund.

Lincoln, Neb., May 14.—With the killing Wednesday night of Robert L. Taylor, a guard at the Nebraska peni tentiary, by James B. King, a negro convict, 11 other guards resigned their Jobs Thursday morning. In ex plaining their actions to Warden Fen ton they said their hours were too long and their pay insufficient. The resignation of so many guards, Warden Fenton said, will not bring about any serious consequences. He said 15 loyal guards still remained and that there were seven other em ployes at the prison who could be pressed into guard duty if necessary. The Nebraska penitentiary, built to house approximately 350 prison ers, now has a population of 632. At no time in history have there been aji many prisoners confined as there are now. Warden Fenton says he does not fear an outbreak, although admitting that the prisoners are more or less upset over the murder of a white guard by a negro prisoner. Since making his confession last night King had been under the con stant watcli of two guards. King is a negro of unusual intelligence and some education. His replies to ques tions were carefully worded. He of fered no defense, saying he carefully planned and executed the murder for two reasons, because he did not like Guard Taylor and because he wanted to make sure he would he put to death "according to law" and with out pain.

How Germany Can Pay Indemnity Stephen Bell, in Commerce and Finance. Dr. B. M. Anderson, the economist of the Chase National bank of New — York, has performed a notable service to the allies, to Germany, and to the world at large by explaining in the clearest language the method by which the German reparation indemnity can be paid, if it ever is to be paid. The first condition necessary, he says, is a sound currency in Germany. Stability in the mark is needed both to make possible an industrial revival so that a surplus of goods and services can be created and to serve as an instrumen tality for the transfer of the value of these goods and services in cash to the British and French treasuries. In the Chase Economic Bulletin issued by the Chase National bank Dr. Anderson thus describes this process: . stabilize the value of the mark by gold redemption at the pre-war basis Is countless Impossible. Measures could be devised, however, for stabilizing the ^ueof the mark by gold redemption, if the fact of depreciation be accepted, and a*temPted a* a low level. One essential in this process is the bal ancing of the German budget, so that taxes will equal public expenditures. Tv4»v«ot^fS5,lj£..CiUirKncy 5nt? £°ing Industry in Germany the process of indem wuh ^,°}2 be follows: (1) additional taxation of the German people, lation of surplus bank balances in Germany to the credit of the bnif^ the traasfer by the German government of these surplus crixHtor countries*of credits m fheT^haae^f ilerman11 E«dsZatf0n ** r'urch“era «* thei>' mart -Thus the whole program comes around to the truth known to all real economists, that the reparation indemnity can really be paid in nothing other than German goods and services. To be sure, these credits might be sold to buyers from other nations and so secure goods other than those Germany could furnish, and a large part of them undoubtedly would be so disposed of, but that does not alter the prime fact that German goods and German ser vices alone can pay the debt, for these credits would be ultimately redeem able only in such goods and services. ' Dr. Anderson coutfi have gone on and pointed out that this is the method which must be adopted for the settlement of other international debts. Great Britain, Prance, Italy, et al., must raise the funds by taxation, transfer the ownership of these funds to the governments to which they are due, who may then sell them in the exchanges for the purchase of goods or payment of bills in the debtor countries. International commercial debts are paid in this way, except that there is no governmental action and no taxation involved In the matter. American Jones buys sterling from some bank which owns or can get sterling to pay British Smith and vice versa, and the credits in all countries from which such payments are made are created by the importation and sale of foreign goods. In the absence of imports, or in a great excess of exports, such credits are not created and there are no funds from which payment for further purchases can be made. This is what is the matter with the world's trade today. Europe, unable to buy the supplies she needs in sufficient volume to go ahead with produc tion on a normal scale, is unable to export the goods which would create here the credits for further purchases. America, too busy supplanting Europe in her markets for manufactured goods, has neglected to supply to Europe the raw materials that would have enabled her to continue as a'buyer. And we have “financed” our exports of manufactures until we are at the end of our rope in the way of supplying additional credit. This is the pass to which trade obstructionists in all nations have brought the world. Lt will continue bad for a while and then worse again, until the world wakes up to the fact that goods imported only make a larger mar ket for goods exported and that trade across a boundary Is as profitable and beneficial all around as trade within the state. This is the root of the trade impasse. We are intelligently radical. We want that root destroyed, that prosperity and peace may come to and abide with a distressed world. j Variety of "Pork." i ------r-^ - n Tvr.l From the Searchlight, Washington, D. C. The opening session of the House was a "scream" iu one respect. All told, 2,344 bills and resolutions were introduced. Of these almost 10 per cent, were the veriest local and private “trash"— just such measures as should properly come before a city council or a board of county commissioners. An analysis of these first day bills reveals that only 248 can be characterized as of general public importance, while 2,090 were of the pork barrel or cam paign variety. The captured German cannon bill is the latest expression of pork. And practically every congressman is "doing it,” not moderately, but by the wholesale. Page after page of the Congressional Record is filled with these political advertisements. It is hilariously funny, but so expressive that the joke is on the people. For example, take Congressman Begg, of Ohio. On April 11, he put into the hopper a whole batch of bills of this modern cam paign type. All were in this form: A bill (H. R. 316) authorising the secretary of war to donate to the town of Birmingham, state of Ohio, one German cannon or field piece; to the —' committee on military affair. There followed identical measures for 43 other towns in his district. If Mr. Begg’s modest demands and those of his colleagues are met, it will ne cessitate a revival of the Krupp works in Germany—to say nothing of the expense of transportation, installation, etc. * It should be understood that the industrious authors of these captured German cannon bills do not expect that any considerable number of them will be enacted into law. That, however, in no material way deters their in troduction, nor does it thwart the political purpose of their sponsors. When such a measure is introduced it is printed at public expense. The legislative father then franks it out, at public expense, to the voters in and around the community named in the bill, which renders the incident of political value. It advertises the member. It proclaims to recipients that he has them in mind and is active in their interest. In politics publicity counts beyond per-. formance. Even as early as the third day these captured German cannon bids for re-election had reached so great a flood that Senator Moses submitted tbs following concurrent resolution: Resolved, by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring). That legislation dealing with pensions, either original or increases, with private claims, with the distribution of war trophies to municipalities or organiza tions, and with matters not of public nature shall hereafter be Intimated by petition upon suitable forms provided for that purpose, which petition shall be referred to its appropriate committee without printing other than by title in the Congressional Record, and that any bill resulting therefrom shall be printed only when reported favorably by the committee. Mr. Moses ddd not directly attack this practice in the House, but he did say: The purpose of the measure is to reduce the printing expense of the con gress by about 880,000 a year. Everything can be done Just as it has been done heretofore, except that we will not have to print this mass of bills as they are Introduced. I will say to the senator from Missouri that there were introduced in the last congress a total of about 13,000 bills of this nature and It cost 87 a piece to print them. Let us consider the cause of cannon bills. The fact that congress is 90 per cent, "trash” is directly the result of the boss system. A few "leaders” are' in complete control of every activity. Only a "leader” lias an opportun ity to figure conspicuously in any outstanding event. The ordinary member represents about a hundredth part of nothing. He is "mawsh”—a mere serving man for the machine. Inasmuch as he cannot earn re-election through public service, he turns instinctively and naturally to petty private and local legislation. He must do something or get something for enough in- ■ dividuals, classes and communities to secure re-election on that errand boy basis. If every congressman were free of parliamentary shackles, there would be practically no such thing as a captured German cannon bill not any other kind of individual or community "pork.” Paterson's Bank. From the Wall Street Journal. Once a Scotch boy gathered some pieces of silver together—not many—the result of some years of saving as a plow boy on his father's farm. He walked to Edinburgh, where he invested his silver in linen, laces, beads, ribbons and gaudy things attractive to feminine fancy. He made a pack of them all, which he belted on bis back, and he started out as a peddler. He trudged to London. He arrived in dirt and In rags, and—with a big idea. This big idea has since proven itself the backbone of the economic world. It is the center, the nucleus of world re building now. William Paterson was the lad’s name and from his idea grew the Bank of England, which laid the foundation of British commercial pros perity and made a safe, sure and secure financial center for the commercial en terprise of the entire world. William Paterson's motto was, "Not for self, for others." And every man. in every business everywhere, so long as our economic system lasts, is, whether he knows it or not, more indebted to this man’s one idea for his own com fort and happiness than to all of his own best exertions. The great minds are the creators of the wealth of the world, the rest of us. reapers and users. Accompanied. From the London Mai! Brown—Hullo! Have you been for a Joy-ride? Smith (bitterly)—No, Jaw—took my Wife1 Phosphate In Texas. From Commerce and Finance. What may turn out to be one of the largest beds of phosphate rock in Ihs world has been found in Texas, accord ing to Dr. J. A. Udden, director of the bureau of geology in the University of Texas. It extends from Waco to the Rio Grand*, a distance of 350 miles, and is from five to 25 miles wide ami of great depth. The rock, which is in th« same geological formation as the French deposits in North Africa, is of high commercial value and is only 40 feet below the surface. The bed was discov ered in drilling a wildcat oil wel! 20 miles west of San Antonio. Heretofore the phosphate fertilisers used in Texas came chiefly from Florida and Tennessee. If estimates are bofn^' out this deposit will not only supply home demand but will furnish a surplus for shipment to other states and for export. During 1920 we exported more than 1.000,000 tons of phosphate io
