Enough

point raised.

some months ago of dealing with
bootleggers, and it has greatly cur
tailed the industry in that county.

Vast Acreage of New Land
Being Put To Crops
This Year
Iicrre, S. D., June (Special) -
Reports coming from all sections of
the central and western part of the
state tell of large amounts of new
brenklng going on, large amounts of
which are being seeded to flax. In
this (Hughes) county It Is estimated
by County Agent N. F. Nelson that
80,000 more new acres of prairie are
broken or being broken this spring
than was broken last spring and
that the greater part of It Is being
seeded to flax.
However, there has been no definite
records available on the prairie sod
broken and I. D. Aldrich, Immigra
tion commissioner, has sent out over
60 letters to correspondents of the
department over the state asking for
records of tractor sales, new lands
broken and the flax acreage.
So fur only a few of these corres
pondents have reported to date but
the records received show large
breaking completed or being done.
While there is probably a slight over
lapping as to acreages where the
correspondents are from the seme
county still the record can be con
sidered quite a fair one, Mr. Aldrich
states.
From Agar In Sully county the
report shows 00 tractors sold from

being broken and 17,000 acres of flax
planted.

SAYSCOUNTIES
PAY TOO MUCH
Salaries Based on Federal
Census Farm Bureau
Man Asserts
Lincoln, Neb., June " (Special)—
C. B. Steward, secretary of the Ne
braska Farm Bureau federation, was
it the statehouse trying to set a legal
conflagration under a number of j
county officials who are enjoying of
ficial salaries In excess of what the
law allows them, if the federal cen
sus of their counties are to be the
criterion. In Nebraska salaries of
county officials depend on the pop
ulation of the county and they in- I
ciease with every stepup In popu
lation.
In the last few years half a dozen
boards In counties that were given
by the federal census a few hundred
fewer Inhabitants than the next step
up have increased salaries by adopt
ing resolutions to the effect that the
population was above that figure.
Farmer taxpayers brought injunction
suits In Dodge and Buffalo counties,
but the supreme court said the
boards were acting within their pow
ers.
The last legislature passed a law
making the federal census the only
test of a county's population. Mr
Steward is now asking the attorney
general for a ruling as to whether
this law Is retroactive, that Is, j
whether, by declaring the federal cen
sus to be the measure, all of the
salary increases made In recent
years by resolution of county boaids
are wiped out.

TOWN OF GORDON TO
VOTE SALE OF LIGHT PLANT
Gordon. Neb., June » (Special)
—The Gordon city council has voted
to sell the city water and electric
light plant, subject to the approval
of the town's voters, at a special
election to be held shortly. The Ne
braska Electric Power company,
represented by A. W. Jones, of Peter
son. Ia.. has made an offer of $7 1,600
for the property and Is willing rj ac
.eept a franchise to furnish ele trlj
current at less than the present r.Ves
and water at the rate now In effect.
The city council feels that the jest
thing to do will be to sell, as this
would reduce the city’s bonded In
debtedness by $73,000 and reduce the
annual tax levy from $10,000 t^ $15,
000. The Nebraska Electric Power
company has recently purchased
power plants at Loup City. Lexington

Supporting Ex-Senators.
From the Lincoln Journal.
The slowly evolving system of un
employment Insurance for disem
ployed United States senators has
made great headway lately. Lika
most new social Institutions, the
growth Is indirect. Instead of being
granted a pension, the ex-senator
may be appointed, as former Senator
McCumber has Just now been, to
the International boundary commis
sion. The function of this body is to
handle Canadian boundary disputes,
of which there are none Nowadays,
Senator Dial of South Carolina
lost his senatorial job with the com
ing of last March. His unemploy
ment Insurance is being collected at
the rate of $1,000 a month as a mem*
her of one more Muscle Shoals com
mission. Senator P .ndexter of
Washington became an ex-senator
two years ago. He has been pen
sioned as ambassador to the com
fortable plateaus of Peru. We might
extend the list Indefinitely.
The irreverent call this senatorial
pension system the lame duck sys
tem. They mean by that that It Is a
way of taking oare of senators who
stand by the organization In the
Senate at cost of their political lives
at home. This Is indeed Its dominant
aspect now'. Irregular senators are
not thus far taken care of In their
unofficial old age. Nor are minority
senators unless, as happened In the
caso of Senator Dial, they are at
some point In the lame duck
session In position to exact such
consideration. Senatorial pensions
now go, It is trus, by favor not by
right.
The rest, we may be assured,
however, will evolve In due time.
Why shouldn’t It? Old age pensions
are on their way everywhere. Rail
roads now’ pension their employes
out of service. Federal judges and
army officers are pensioned in their
retirement. Men who serve In our
wars are pensioned In their old age.
Why not senators? Why not every
body?
Who Knows the Law?
From The Oklahoman.
If It Is impossible for governors
of states and attorneys general of
states to know the laws of their
states, how Is it possible for them
to enforce these laws? Moreover,
how can it be possible for the aver
age citizen to know the laws?
Recently a newspaper syndicate
asked the governors of 48 states
how many laws are in effect in their
respective jurisdictions. Almost
unanimously the answer came back,
“We don’t know.”
The same question was pro
pounded to the mayors of 50 of th«
largest American cities. The answer
was the same.
The samo syndicate made a thor
ough searoh of federal records to
ascertain bow many federal laws ara
In effect: all It learned was that there
Is no Information available as to tha
number of federal laws now In effect.
The attorney general of a great
American state wrote: “I cannot ad
vise you as to the exact number of
laws In effect In this state.”
"How many laws have you in your
Jurisdiction?” Is the solemn question
sent forth snd here Is the serious
answer: “We don’t know how many
laws we must enforce, we can only
guess as to the number of laws in
effect; to much law Is upsetting
business; we have too many tax
laws; a policeman Is expected to
know 26,000,000 laws.
No man born of woman lives long
enough to learn the laws he must
obey.
Since the first day of 1925 we
have seen 12,000 new state laws en
acted. We have seen 60,000 new city
ordinances enacted since New Year’s,
We now have at least 600,000 state
laws In effect. We have at least
6,000,000 city ordinances On top of
all we have at least 10,000 operative
federal statutes and we have 200,
000 lawmakers constantly grlrdlng
out more laws.
Why Kill Coyotes?
W. H. Fletcher, of Brant, Alberta,
lias written the department of agri
culture of the Canadian province that
far from ©ncuraglng slaughter of
coyotes, which has long been a pro
vincial policy, the killing of one of
these animals should be made >a
crime. He explained that Jackrabblts,
by consuming crops and damaging
trees, had become a scourge to farm
ers. He expressed belief that coyotes
had formerly kept down the number
f rabbits. Fletcher predicted that If
coytes were not permitted to prey
upon rabbits, the latter would be
come such an evil as they did in
Australia.

SAYS INJUSTICE
IS BEING DONE
Buffalo County Man Wants
School Buss to Call
At His Home
I.lncoln, Neb., June t / (Special)
—Farmer Earl JSogdon, of Buffalo
county has asked the supreme court
to give him Its powerful aid to re
store the reign of justice in the St.
Michael school district. Brogdon
lives on a highway half a mile from
Its conjunction with the road Into
St. Michael along which are carried
In motor ears the rural children who
attend the town school. Brogdon
says that the school board has made
a rule that his daughter must walk
the half mile to where the school car
passes and that she is the only child
In the district who is not picked up
at her own front gate.
Refusing to be thus intimidated he
sent his girl to school on horseback,
and then put In a bill for $87.50 for
transporting her. He contended that
the rule of the board was not a rea
sonable requirement with the law
requiring that school children be
transported at public expense. The
lower court said it was, and he now
asks the supreme court to overturn
this. The evidence shows that the
only other man living off the direct
road Is the man who is paid $20 a
month for taking the children to
school.

AGED BROTHERS
IN LEGAL TILT
Settlement of Estate of An*
other Gets into Court at
Omaha, Neb.
Omaha, Neb., June —Three
brothers, all more than 60 years old,
are waging a bitter legal battle In
District Judge Hastings’ court over
the $500,000 estate left them by a
fourth brother, the late James W.
Mtfrphy, of which the eldest broth
er, Matthew J. Muhphy, 71 years
old, of Pasadena, Cal., says he was
fraudulently deprived of $125,000.
Matthew Murphy is suing Joseph
F. 55, real estate man, and John A.
Murphy, 51, commission man, al
leging they misrepresented to him
that he had been omitted from a
purported will of the deceased
brother, and had persuaded him to
settle his claim for $50,000 on the
day James W. Murphy was burled.
Matthew claims his brother left
no will but that his brothers
showed him a slip of paper which
they said was the will.
"They said $50,000 would be a
fair share,” he said, “and I trusted
them, not knowing how much Jim
left.”
A newspaper clipping, giving the
appraisal of the estate, sent to him
by a friend, gave him his first
suspicions, he said.
The brothers defend the pay
ment on the ground that the settle
ment was made on the commane
of James W. who they said, left
considerable money to charitable
institutions.

Lincoln, Neb., June-, , ^Special)—
The state bureau of securities does
not Present a sympathetic front to

the cgmpiaint to see if It is in due
legal forms and whether it states any
cause of action.

the soundness of the company’s prop

question he raises, whether It can
sell non-voting sJ.ock in Nebraska,
