RESOLUTION
WHEREAS, there has been in
troduced in the Legislature of Ne
braska an act to provide that all
interest and penalties on delinqu
ent taxes shall be waived provided
such taxes are paid within a lim
ited time, and
WHEREAS, if such an act be
comes a law it will mean that in
the future very few taxes will be
paid,because the persons liable will
feel that some future legislature
will waive any penalty for non
payment, and
WHEREAS, if su$ an act be
comes a law it will nrMtically bank
rupt all municipalities that must
rely on the collection of taxes to
operate, and
WHEREAS, in case such an act
becomes a law it will be almost im
possible for counties, cities, vil
lages and schools to operate, and
will render them unable to finance
their activities, and
WHEREAS, the enactment of
such a law will makei it an object
to people not ty pay their proper
share of taxes neceaaary to carry
on the functions of government,
THEREFORE, be it resolved by
the County Board of Supervisors
of Holt county, Nebraska, that we
request our representatives to vote
against this vicious legislation
And be it further resolved that
a copy of this resolution be for
warded to our Representative and
Senator, and also a copy forwarded

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

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. It
reveals that Uncle Sam imported
into this county during February
farm commodities as follows:
Corn, 1,825,742 bushels; rye 1,
176,376 bushels; wheat, 150,040
bushels (wheat which was unfit
for human consumption amounted
to 905,247 bushels); barley, 133,154
bushels; oats, 2,118,349 bushels;
flax, 1,996,637 bushels; hay 17,233
tons; potatoes, 2,459,171 lbs.; beef,
774,472 lbs.; pork, 152,630 lbs.

have been having hard sledding the
past year. 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

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.
