COUNTY FUNDS MAY BE BONDED Statutes Provide That No Guaranty Is Required But Would Be Valid Lincoln, Neb,, _ (UP)— Counties may require state banks to give bond for county funds, in the opinion of Attorney General Sorenson, who today answered Deputy County Attorney J. F. Mil ler of Harlan comity to that effect. While the statutes say that no bond shall be required of state banks operating under the guaranty fund law, it is common knowledge that the guaranty fund at present is depleted and it Is not known just when the depositors in failed banks will be paid, and under the circum stances no county treasurer could be required to approve as a de pository for county funds if such bank refused to furnish a bond, the opinion held. Although the statutes say that no bond shall be required, yet where such a bond is furnished it would be valid and enforcable, the opinion further stated. The attorney genreal advised Henry J. Walker, secretary of the barber board, that the one who travels from house to house shaving or trimming the beard or cutting the hair of occupants for hire, where such work Is done in some room in a residence that is not separated by a partition from- that part of the house used for residence purposes, is violating the law, unless it is done by some one of the four classes of persons who are made exempt from the provisions of the barber act.

DISAGREED ON GUARANTY LAW Nebraska Banking Interests Not ir Accord on Pro posed Legislation Lincoln, Neb., (Special)— A new and disturbing factor has en tered into the problem of solving the guaranty fund situation by the legislature, and that is a distinct alignment of the bankers in op posing groups. One of these is head ed by A. L. Schantz, head of the big gest state bank, located in Omaha, who takes the position that the leg islators are not well enough in formed to themselves figure out a solution, and that it is the duty of the bankers to tell them what ought to be done. On the other side is the president of the State Bankers’ association, P. L. Hall, Jr„ and the legislative committee, representing the associa tion, which says that the legislators ought to be let alone to find a so lution satisfactory to the depositors and which is sane and workable. They say they have no fears that the legislature will try to make the banks pay all the deficit, because that is a quite evident impossibility but that the proper role for the bankers is to give their advice when asked and their criticism when a proposal is prepared. Mr. Schantz sent out a letter a few days ago in which he asked for answers to questions covering al ternative policies and evidently with the object of finding out what most of the state bankers want and then telling the legislature about it. Without referring in any way to the Schantz letter, the legislative committee of the association has sent out a letter of its own. In this it says in effect that the bankers should be tactful in presenting their views to legislators, in order to avoid any resentment or give rise to a belief that the bankers are trying to put something over on the people and the depositors. They urge that the tactful thing to do is to refrain from offering any pro posal, but at the same time bank ers should hold themselves ready to advise with the members. The letter says that the banking prob lems are receiving the sympathetic interest of the governor and mem bers of the legislature, and that there is every disposition to be fair with the banks and the public. Sug gestions and ideals are being en tertained, and bills are being drawn that are in good faith intended to relieve the situation. The committee believes these should be welcomed, and expresses the opinion that the best possible solution will thus be evolved. BRYAN TO ATTEND OMAHA JACKSONIAN BANQUET Omaha.

M Pile, found er and president of what is now the Wayne State Teacher* college, U»» * normal school COMmWNS MADE IX HIS WILL ARE HELD TO_ BE LEGAL Lincoln, Neb., iL- (Special) —The supreme court holds that Dr. Hirara L. Smith, Geneva physician, who acquired an estate of more than $1,000,000, largely by reason of well placed investments in farm lands and Lincoln real estate, had a right to leave it to whomsoever he pleased and to place around the right of heirship whatever conditions or re strictions he desired, so long as these did not offend public morality and were not against public morality. The conditions which some of his heirs objected to as onerous and which they asked the court to re lieve them from had to do with the personal habits of those who were the objects of his bounty. Dr. Smith was a leading prohibitionist for years, and to the will under discussion he had added a codicil to the effect that after having lived 84 years he had come to the conclu sion that nothing was more destruc tive to human life and happiness than the excessive use of drugs and liquor, that he desired that none of those to whom he proposed leav ing his money should be debauched by the fact that their worldly for tunes had thus been augmented, and that to insure as best he might that none who drank or took drugs should have any part of his estate, he provided that none should possess in completeness their legacies un til they had reached the age of 35 years. He said that by that time the habits of the average person have been fixed. SQUABBLE OVEB. NAMING WOMAN Governor Weaver Stirs Up Trouble Between Nebras ka Wet and Dry Demos Lincoln, Neb., (UP)~ Governor Weaver’s appointment of Mrs. Charles G. Ryan as demo cratic member of the board of con trol was submitted to the state senate shortly after it convened at 2 o’clock today. Under the law ac tion on the appointment must be handled at a later date. Three telegrams urging the senate not to confirm the appointment were read. Lincoln, Neb., ~ (Special)— Governor Weaver nas nis back up over the opposition that developed in the senate because he desired to appoint Mrs. Charles G. Ryan, of Grand Island, as the democratic member of the state board of con trol. The governor announced his se lection a few days ago, and immedi ately opposition developed. Sen ator Cooper of Omaha is leading it. He says that while Mrs. Ryan is capable and personally unobjection able, her selection is likely to have a far reaching political effect for the reason that she is the democratic national committeewoman who was selected by the Smith democrats to succeed Dr. Jennie Calfas, duly elected committeewoman, who was ousted by the state committee be cause she announced her support of Hoover. The effect, therefore, of her selection by the governor is that democratic Hoover supporters and stalwart republicans, look on it as going out of the way to ad minister a slap at them. Dr. Cal fas had endorsed the present mem ber, Mrs. Carrie Birss, of Omaha. Republican senators who are willing to let the governor bear the brunt of what they think is a tac tical error deprecate the fact that it has the appearance of recognizing one of the two bitterly opposed fac tions in the democratic party and will rise to plague the governor in his campaign two years hence. They are disposed to support the con firmation, as are also the nine democrats, part of whom did not support Smith, but who are not car ing about continuing the factional warfare. To block the confirmation 12 votes are necessary. A committee of senators called on the governor to protest, but no in formation of wnat was said was given out. After they had gone the governor called in the reporters and told them that he was sending the nomination in Monday afternoon. Senators say that many democratic women have been calling them up to protest, saying that Mrs. Ryan was offensive in her advocacy of Smith and bitter in her criticism of Hoover, whose citizenship she chal lenged in speeches. The probabilities are that the nomination will be referred to a committee and the matter allowed to ride a week, by the end of which time it is expected the opposition will have died down or else it will be so great that it cannot be dis regarded. Senator Cooper charges that Ar thur P. Mullen, Smith leader in Ne braska, was responsible for Mrs. Ryan’s selection, but the governor came right back with the declara tion that Mullen had not asked for anybody’s appointment for any of fice. TO GIVE INCENTIVE TO UNIVERSITY STUDENTS Lincoln, Neb., * (UP>—As an added incentive to the attain ment of high scholarship nt the University of Nebraska, the univer sity senate authorized Chancellor E.
