CONGRESS
As Seen by a Nebraskan
A Blomfield farmer asks this
question, “Would it not be a good
thing for the government to seal
small grain as it did in 1933?” We
took the matter up with Chester
Davis, Administrator of the AAA,
and this is what he had to say in
reply to that question: "Careful
consideration is being given to the
possibility of extending the prin
ciple of the ever normal granary to
other basic commodities. 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.

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

brushing elbows with Mrs. Roose

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.

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.
