Ferman Welton has taken up his
abode in Amelia in order to serve
the mail route as altered since the
closing of the Kola office and is

chased new cars this spring. The

bion for Memorial Day. About a
month ago Mr. and Mrs. Baker got

them to make it still more exas
perating.
Getting away with something
like 30 turkey eggs wanted for
hatching hasconvinced Jesse James
that the thorough-bred Shep pup

^ to be and thinks he can operate the
ranch without canine assistance.
Holt county had a rancher years
ago—Sam Elwood—who held to
the theory that the job of looking
after cattle belonged to the man on
horseback and would tolerate no
dogs.
. It is told of Cyrus the Great that
' in-moving an army from Persia to
encompass ancient Babylon he lost
a chariot horse by drowning when
crossing a river. To punish the
river a halt was made and three
months spent in dispersing its wat
ers into the desert thru 360 chan
els he had his soldiers construct.
Foolish ? Yes. But how does some
of our “recovery” program com
pare with it?
The Frontier last week gave the
details of a sad tragedy. Death by
his own hand was the choice of
this young man rather than the
humiliation of "being taken into
court for stealing cattle and then
to the penitentiary. He was in
debt and stole that he might make
a payment on an instalment car.
Debt inspired the crime in appar
ently an otherwise honest young
man. Debt on a large scale is be
ing encouraged from high sources
these days but it is none the less
a plague that young and old alike
will do well to shun. R. S.

WHAT S DOING IN
THE LEGISLATURE
(Continued from page 1.)
Not only did the legislature slap
another cent on the tax of gasoline
(most observers agree that this
was justified under the circum
stances, however), but measures
were finally passed requiring the
payment of the property tax on
automobiles before license plates
can be issued. Separate tax forms
must be drawn up to aid county
officials in this task.
While this appears to be class
legislation, it does promise to give
the state and its subdivisions an
additional revenue of from $750,
000 to $800,000 a year.
Regulatory bills of an automo
tive nature include these: Requir
ing trucks and buses to carry port
able flares and flags to be used
when parked on highways; regulat
ing and taxing the towing of auto
mobile caravans thru the state
(does not affect established Ne
braska dealers, and serves to pro
tect these same dealers from cut
throat competition).
A bill was signed by the govern
or liberalizing the drunken-driving
penalties and fixing a 50-mile-per
hour definition of a “safe” highway
speed. While this law does not
prohibit drivers from going faster
than 50 miles an hour, in case of
accident the speeder will have to
bear the burden of proof that he
was not driving recklessly.
This law also changes the flat,
30-day first offense penalty for
driving while intoxicated to a flex
ible jail term of 5 to 90 days, at
the discretion of the court. It
goes into effect in 90 days.
Truckers have faired well under
the legislature. Bills to levy a
ton-mile tax and to otherwise in
crease the fees on trucks were
killed early in the session.
Last-minute laws revise the
scale of fees for truck licenses pur
chased after April 1 as follows:
April 1 to July 1, 75 per cent; July
