CONGRESS—AS SEEN BY A NEBRASKAN Relief for Schools—A very im portant amendment to the relief bill is the provision allocating $300, 000,000 for “assistance for educa tional, professional and clerical persons." The President’s spokes man was asked if this money would provide any funds for the more than five million children in the 2,000 public schools which have al ready closed for lack of funds, but the reply was made that in the opinion of the committee these funds are entirely in the hands of the President and that perhaps the money would be used to pay school teachers, rather than keep schools open. It was not explained who the educational persons would be who would receive the $300,000,000, so the Education Committee mem bers are asking many pertinent qquestions and wondering if the President will use some of this $300,000,000 to keep the little red school house open, and if the money for educational purposes will be al located by the relief organization or by competent persons in the SEED POTATOES On Burlington Track Saturday, Sunday and Monday | Red River U. S. No. 1, Irish Cobblers and Selected Early Ohios OR CALL AT PR0TIV1NSKY GROCERY office of the Director of Education. Because of the efficiency of the ed ucational organizations already set up, many congressmen believe that the money should be spent for educational purposes by those fam iliar with out" educational institu tions. Hog Sticker—Harry Hopkins is back from Florida. Thursday night he was introduced to the Iowa State Meeting as the champion hog-sticker of the world. He was also introduced as a native of Iowa. Hopkins in his speech said that he was also a native of Hastings, Ne braska, and that he was not the champion hog-sticker, but he did call attention to the fact that he has a very big job and that job is to help spend approximately five billion dollars. Reference is made to Harry Hopkins, because the House passed House Joint Resolu tion 117, which is the conference report over which the conferees from the Senate and House have been working several days, and which means that in a few days the President will get the huge sum of approximately five billion dol lars for the fight against the de pression. Processing Taxes—Some of the congressmen,discussing the George amendment in the big emergency relief appropriation bill, which has to do with processing taxes, de clare now that there must have been some reason why it stayed in the bill—whether Mr. Wallace, Sec retary of Agriculture wanted it to remain in the bill or not, nobody knows. Those of legal mind, how ever, declare that it is inoperative, but if it is inoperative, why was it allowed to remain in the bill? Fair ly reliable information traced to the Chairman of the Committee on Agriculture indicates that the question of hog processing taxes is entirely up to Mr. Wallace; that he has in mind the cutting down of the amount of the hog. processing tax a little. Howi much, no one knows. There might be some li censing of milk.. The Department knows that the hog-raiser has been penalized by the high processing taxes. When that is discussed, however, these members of the Committee oir Agriculture say: “Yes, but hog prices are very high,” and they have no reply to this answer: “Yes, but the farmers have very few hogs tb sell.” More Costly khan War—In three years, 1934-35*36, we will be spend ing thriteen thousand dollars every minute of the day and night and out of that it is estimated seven thousand dollars will be added every minute to our public debt to be paid by the future generations. Every person will be paying about $64.50 as compared with about $42.16 in the previous twenty years which included the war. Quite a difference in spending, is it not? The war on this depression is more costly than a real war. Old Age Pensions—Congressman MeGroarty filed a new Townsend Old Agen Pension Bill the other day. He said the first one was not workable and that the new one was all right. The case is that the en tire House is in favor of some kind of federal old age pension plan and the entire House seems old-age pension minded, and most of them feel they must do something about social insurance, which they believe is a humanitarian thing, but many of them feel that employees and employers may be against the un employment compensation part of the bill because it calls for too many taxes on payrolls, which a lot of employers may not be able to pay, so there will be a bitter fight on this bill, which is H. R. 7260. February Imports — The report of the Tariff Commission for Feb ruary, 1935, on imports for con sumption for specified farm com modities by sources was given to me today by Robert O'Brien, Chair man of the Tariff Commission.

Nebraska’s income tax receipts in March were the highest since March 1924, federal author ities reported. All federal taxes from this state totaled $2,061,556, of which $1,240,276 was paid in inc come taxes. State Insurance Director Moose has appealed to Senator Burke in Washington to use his influence on a bill w'hich would make it unlaw ful to use the mails to solicit in surance or collect and transmit in surance premiums without comply ing with each state’s insurance laws. Moose said that “companies soliciting insurance by mail and radio are causing more trouble in the insurance business than all of the 656 companies licensed in the state combined. The state treasurer has been, authorized to invest another $200,-: 000 of Nebraska money in U. S. bonds, bringing the total up to $2,200,000.
