During the past two years, however, prices of wheat have been above the world basis, owing to the short crops of 1933 and 1934 and to the effects of the adjustment program. In view of the short crops, together with the uncertain world market condi tions, the need for impounding of surplus wheat has not been as ap parent as was the need for storing surplus corn in 1933; hence, no definite plans have been formulated for making loans on wheat in the near future.” H. B. Ware, of Wakefield, Nebr., was among the visitors in Wash ington this week. He is attending the annual convention of the Pres byterians and came here to visit a lot of old friends and relatives in Virginia. Ambassador Ronald Linsay and Lady Linsay gave a garden party last Friday and nearly everybody went, including the congressmen. General John Pershing was there all “dolled up” and he seemed to be a sort of guest of honor, and it was noticed that Lady Lindsay shook hands with the folks as they came in and had a lighted cigarette in the other hand. It was just like all of these parties that they have here, free sandwiches and free cookies ami free lemonade under one tent, and free wine at another tent. The wine tent had the most customers. It was a regular par ade of good clothes and small talk. President Roosevelt delivered his own veto message to Congress on the Patman Bonus Bill, and the (First Publication May 30, 1036.

Gallagher, County Clerk, Holt County. Chester Stockwell, County 2-2 Ckxk, Rock County, scenes in the House and outside were similar to the day he deliv ered his message to the 74th Con gress, with the exception that the applause during his speaking was not so pronounced. The president looked in good health; but his usual good humor seemed to be lacking. Those who sat close to him and looked at him seemed to sense that he felt a majority of the House was not with him. One man who voted to override the veto had this to say, “I have been against the payr ment of the bonus, but I am voting to over-ride the veto because I think that if the Government can spend $300 a month for somebody to teach young men and young wo men toe-dancing, they can spend this money which the soldiers need so badly.” Other Congressmen had a lot to say about the spending of five billion dollars, and millions for experimenting with tide waters on the coast of Maine. Art Breyer, of Norfolk, who is on his way to New York to visit his son, had the experience of brushing elbows with Mrs. Roose velt, who sat next to Josephus Dan iels, who is the American envoy to Mexico Josephus Daniels and Mrs. Roosevelt apparently had a whole lot to talk about to each other, and many people watched them closely while the President was talking. Mrs. M. Kuncl, of Newman Grove, was in today with M.. and Mrs. G. C. Buhrman, of Genoa, and Miss Anne Buhrman, of Lincoln. They visited the Senate and the House and took a trip thru the White House, and saw them print ing millions of dollars worth of money in the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. Mrs. Kuncl was overwhelmed at thg number of new buildings going up in Washington. Chairman Jones of the agricul ture committee who had the AAA bill all ready for action today told his friends that his committee is going back in a huddle. The bill may have to be rewritten for the fifth time because of the court de cision. That decision may affect the AAA. Farmer congressmen who have read the bill believe the court decision affects both the lic ensing feature of the new AAA bill and also may affect the proces sing tax features. For that reason so miH-fii excitement among the congressmen interested in farming districts and also the reason for so much anxiety by the members of the agriculture committtee which has been working day and night on the many agriculture bills to which hundreds of amendments have been offered and in which hundreds of changes have been made almost daily. About the most anxious man in congress today was Bill Lemke, who is the author of the Frazier Lemke refinance bill. When asked what he thought about the court decision on his bankruptcy bill, he said he was not entirely disap pointed. His advise was to tell the farmers who have debts to pay to have faith and to try to hold on to their farms until his latest bill is passed. He told this to a Ne braska congressman this morning: “The decision of the court will help us. The decision suggests some measure to refinance farm mort gages. I interpret the decision as a suggestion for a bill like our bill to refinance farm mortgages and the decision won’t stop us from continuing our efforts.” A new bonus move has started in congress. This time by republican leaders, who are quietly circulating a petition among congressmen ask ing for a big meeting to discuss a new bill to pay the war veterans their adjusted service compensa tion out of the five billion dollar fund which is in the hands of the president. They want this meeting to take quick action to get such a bill passed. Some of them say the government is having trouble find ing places to spend four billion dollars and that paying part of it to the war veterans for what they really have coming would do what the money is intended to do, take a lot of people off the unemployed forces of the nation. This move is seriously planned and is backed by a lot of strong men in congress. Hamilton Fish, Jr., was the first man to sign this petition. KARL STEFAN. STATE CAPITOL NEWS By James R. Lowell Will the department of agricul ture and inspection take its right ful “place in the sun” under the Cochran administration? That is the question that several thousand. Nebraska creamery men, dairymen and farmers are ponder ing over right now. The general sentiment is that the governor’s appointment of former state sen ator W. B. Banning, horticulturist of the Union vicinity, as director of the department is a hopeful sign. A study of the records for the past decade or so reveals that the agriculture department has suf fered considerably from politics. Altho it is potentially the most im portant state department in this agriculturally predominated com monwealth, and takes in around $10,000,000 in state revenue a year, including the gasoline tax, it has been relegated in the past few years to the status of little more than a bureau of collections. Many far-sighted Nebraskans want to see the department take more of an educational role in state affairs. They also want to see a tactful and effective enforce ment policy maintained. They point out, for example, that the private income of the state should be increased by hundreds of thousands of dollars per year by careful enforcement of dairying and creamery regulations, coupled with the proper educational work. Ne braska butter sells for a cent less than that of such states as Wiscon sin on the big eastern markets, and this condition should be reme died. Creamery officials are inclined to feel that enforcement of laws pertaining to their business has not been up to snuff. Under the McKelvie regime the policing power of the department was stressed too much, while, in contrast, under Governor Bryan it is alleged that the soft pedal was put on enforce ment for political reasons. The chief executive didn’t take any chances on losing the votes of any of the 5,000 cream buyers in the state, according to his critics. Dwight F. Fulton, of Ogallala, director of the department until late Iv>st month, is recognized as a high type and highly competent man, but he was hampered in his nandling of the department by ill health, reduced appropriation and by policies dictated by Governor Bryan. In order to give the department a new deal, it is now being argued that Director Banning should be given a hand entirely free from po litical expediency, and that a bur eau chief with a thoro knowledge of the dairy and creamery business be appointed to the staff. A resume of the both legislative session reveals that the governor’s planks recommended in his inaug ural message were given more res pect than it is usual for a law-mak ing body in Nebraska to show a chief executive... One of the feat ures of the session was the creation of an unusually large number of new governmental bureaus which make way for more than 200 new jobs. Recommendations made by Gov ernor Cochran and acted favorably on by the legislature include liquor control, legalization of pari-mutel betting, extension of the morator ium on real estate mortgages for two years, no new forms of tax ation (rejected both sales and in come tax proposals), unicameral legislation, creation of a compen sation court of three judges to ad minister the workmen’s compensa tion law, legislation to submit a constitutional amendment to voters in 1936 to abolish the state land commissioner’s office. Chief among the new bureaus set up is the liquor commission which gives three men $4,000 a year each.! Thomas Gass, Kearney banker was j appointed chairman of fhe commis sion last week upon refusal of Dwight F. Felton, former director of the department of agriculture, tc accept the two year term. J. A. McEachon, republican and Lincoln business man, holds the four-year appointment, and W. W. Carmichael, Omaha democrat, is the six-year man. Max Adams of Dannebrog, chief clerk of the house of representatives, holds the sec retaryship of the commission at $3,200 a year. The latter besides being a successful farmer has served three terms in the lower branch of the legislature and was serving his second consecutive term as chief clerk of the house Most of the new governmental bureaus will be financed by special fees and taxes provided for that specific purpose. Several will func tion as non-paid bodies without public money to spend. A state racing commission has three members receiving expenses only,and a secretary getting $2,400 a year. An aeronautics commission has five members, receiving expenses only, and a secretary to be ap pointed at $4,000 a year. The state is also empowered to purchase an airplane. The 4-cent tax on gas used by airplanes in the state will fianance the activities of this com mission. State employment bureau to col laborate with the national re-em ployment system, and with an ap propriation of $33,690 from the state treasury to pay state’s share of expenses for the biennium. Three real estate brokers will as sist in administering an examining and licensing system for real estate brokers and salesmen to be set up January 1, 1936. Special permit fees will finance this bureau and the special advisory committee members will receive only expenses. Numerous employes will get pay checks thru the $10,000 appropri ated for an audit of the state treas ury, $20,000 for investigation of the state banking department, the law setting up a state bonding sys tem with $100,000 appropriated as a revolving fund, compensation court with three judges receiving $3,000 a year each and a clerk at $1,800 per annum, port of entry law, farm warehouse inspection law, stallion and, jack registration law, nursing bureau and board. Two old age pension laws are now in existence in Nebraska as the result of the activities of the last legislature. These laws to gether may assure $30 per month pensions to needy people over 65 years of age. As much as is needed may be taken out of the $4,000,000 state relief fund. In addition, the pen sion head tax passed in 1933 to levy 50 cents on all persons be tween 21 and 50, was increased to $2 per person per year. One of these bills (sponsored by Governor Cachran) directs the state assistance committee to use as much money from the state fund as is needed to match federal con tributions for pensions to the aged. This amount is estimated at $750, 000 a year. The bill is designed only to meet the present emerg-, ency and will be in force only for the next two years. William H. Smith, hold-over as state tax commissioner under the Bryan regime,has been reappointe ed by Governor Cochran. THE spender never suc ceeds in anything he un dertakes and never fails to place the blame for his lack of success upon others. ^EThe w <W*Ul Hatiorml ©anh Capital, Surplus and Undivided Profits, $125,000.00 This bank carries no indebted ness of officers or stockholders.
