TAX ON WHEAT WILL
SOON GO INTO EFFECT
(Continued from page 1.)
are intended to provide the farmer
with the pre-war “parity” price for
that portion of his crop which is to
be domestically consumed.
The act sets as its goal the return
of farm purchasing power to the av
erage for the 1909-1914 period. Thus,
to attain “parity" the price of wheat
must bear the same relationship to the
price of goods farmers buy as the
price of wheat bore to these good in
the pre-war period.
Just now the parity price on wheat
would be approximately 89 cents a
bushel while the farm price is reck
oned at about 59 cents, leaving the
difference of 30 cents as the amount
Wallace can levy as a tax.
If wheat prices fall before the tax
goes into effect the maximum Wallace
could levy might be more than 30
cents. He expects to put the tax into
effect between July 1 and July 15,
Walla:e estimated that not more
than two cents a bushel would be re
quired to meet all administrative
costs. Wallace and Brand both ex
pressed confidence that the allotment
plan could be successfully policed by
farmers themselves and through their
own county organizations which will
be set up under the direction of ftof.
M. L. Wilson of Montana, an author
of the allotment plan, und the chief of
wheat production under Wallace.
Brand said lists of wheat allotments
for every farmer would be published
in county newspapers, and that “any
one varying widely from their aver
ages in the past in the amount they
will be authorized to grow under their
contract, will certainly be crucified."
After the plan has been in use dur
ing the next two years, Wallace said,
it would eithpr be abandoned or a new
plan put into effect. The plan will not
be employed in counties with produc
tion of less than about 150,000 bushels
annually. There are about 1,200,000
wheat farmers in the nation, most of
whom will be eligible to participate in
the program.
LINCOLN CITY COUNCIL
VOTES .1 TO 2 FOR BEER
The Lincoln city council backed up
an the beer question and on Wednes
day voted three to two to legalize the
sale of beer in that city on and after
August 10th!
Beer does not become legal in Ne
braska until Aug. 10, and the council

election for July 25 to let the people
in the old home of William Jennings
Bryan and other apostles of prohibi
tion, make the decision. But Wednes
day Mayor Fleming broke a deadlock
on a vote which called off the election
and authorized the council to license
the sale of 3.2 beer.
Prohibitionists had joined beer ad
vocates in opposing the referendum,
admitting they preferred to “save
their fire” for defense of the Eight
eenth amendment, which will be put
to a vote in Nebraska in November,
1934. along with constitutional state
prohibition.
The council has been the center of
a controversy over beer for nearly
two months. Prohibitionists urged it
be kept out of Lincoln on account of
the state university and other educa
tional institutions while others argued
it would be better to sell it under su
pervision in the city than on the bord
ers of the capital city.
The city’s beer troubles are not
over. Councilmen now face a dispute
over regulations with a ban on Sunday
sales and other limitations advocated
by part of the council.
FEDERAL EMPLOYEES ARE
BEING RELEASED
More than 7,000 workers have been
told they will get no more pay from
the federal government, but the ex
pense-cutting goes on.
There will be further dismissals.
When all have been made the admin
istration expects that around half a
billion dollars will have been lopped off
payrolls alone in the attempt to re
duce expenditures on ordinary opera
tions a billion dollars a year. Reduc
tions in veterans’ costs and incidentals
will provide the balance of the billion.
New jobs are being given under the
emergency programs—farm relief,
public works and the like. But many
of these new employees will work in
the field, possibly most of them, and
not in Washington.
So far the toll has been about this:
Treasury department, including 1,650
from the coast guard, 2,950; justice,
including 1,300 from the prohibition
bureau, 1,6.35; agriculture 656; com
merce 626; navy 600; state; 395 and
interior, 97.
Hundreds have been put on payless
furloughs, while dismissal plans of the
commerce, agriculture and postoffice
departments are not complete.
BOOTLEGGER LOSES HIS STOCK
The grapevine telegraph line reports
that a man outside the boundaries of
this county took a load of 3.2 to At
kinsn the day before the Fourth, in
tending to peddle it there that day and
clean up a little “Mazuma” to lay
aside for a rainy day. He stored the
beverage in an enclosed yard there
and went to bed dreaming of the many
shining “Bucks” that would roll into
his pocket from this forbidden bever
age the next day. But he had a rude
awakening the next morning. When
he went to the place where he had
stored the fifty cases the truck was
there, but like Mother Hubbard’s cup
board, it was empty. The beverage
had disappeared and he was left to
mourn on “man’s inhumanity to man.”

Most Americans Following a Sport
of Some Kind At This Time of \ear
i -'
Is Golf Taking The Place of Baseball as America’s National Sport?
THIS is the time when the week-end,
and days during the week as Well,
sees millions of golfers on links all
over the country, hundreds of thous
ands of tennis players on clay and turf
courts, hundreds of thousands of boys
and young men playing basdballj
millions at beaches, at mountain re
sorts and at summer places on lakes
and rivers. , i
No other nationality delights tri
snorts more than does the American,
lie has been taught that moderate ex
ercise is helpful in keeping fit and
then, too, he plays his golf, or tennis or
baseball, because he gets a lot of fun
out of it.
Every American who plays golf or
tennis is ambitious to play well. To
play well he must feel fit. Millions of
Americans have learned that the eating
of three cakes qf fresh yeast a day
is genuinely helpful in keeping at top
form
Golf is played in every state in the
Union, in some states all the year
round Tennis is played in every state,
in some states during the entire twelve
months. Tennis is becoming increas
ingly popular. Baseball, of course, is
still the national game but in urban
centers lack of places where the game
can be played, plus the cost of equip
ment, is turning many youngsters to
bther sports.
Only a limited number of states
enjoy ocean swimming but every state
has a lake or a river or an ole swim
min’ hole of some kind. The use of
row-boats and canoes is common every
where. Outdoor handball is becoming
more popular. Badminton, the.shuttle
cock game which originated, in India
and was taken to England, is finding
more and more followers. It. can be
plaved out-of-doors as well as indoors.
Games once known to steamer decks
only are finding their way ashore.
Shuffle-board and deck tennis are two
games becoming increasingly popular
in various parts of the country.
The American must have his sports,
and this is the time of year to enjoy
them with a healthy body.

A NEW ONE
Bindery Talk: A recent invention
by Wendall Fathers, famed for motor
car attachments, is the Oral Speed
ometer which operates with a phono
graphic attachment.
At 25 miles it remarks:
“The City speed limit has toeen
passed. Is there a motor cycle police
man behind you?”
At 35 miles:
“Too fast for city driving. We hope
you are now in the country.”
At 45 miles:
“Your car is still under control but
watch the car behind the car ahead of
you.”
At 50 miles:
“Your responsibility is increasing.
Keep your eyes on the road.”
At 60 miles:
“Are your insurance premiums paid
to date?”
At 70 miles:
“You drive—this attachment will do
the praying.”
At 80 miles:
“Probably someone will have this
car repaired. If so, we thank you for
the sale of another speedometer to re
place this one which in a few mom
ents is going to hell along with you."
