(County Court Seal) 11-3 C. E. Cronin, Attorney THE NEBRASKA SCENE (Continued from page 1.) economic farm theories is present ed in the theories advanced by two rural economics experts. J. E. LeRessignol, dean of the college of business administration of the University of Nebraska, says that controlled production and scarcity is one of the biggest mis takes, economically speaking, that has been made by the nation to date. He said that recovery is un questionably to come yet, and if it is to be sped on the way that sev eral faults in the present admin istration must be corrected. LeRo^signol declared that pros perity can only come thru plenty, and not scarcity. He said that prices must be determined by the market and not arbitrarily fixed, and that labor must be allowed to barter for wages rather than have to submit to a set wage. William A. Irwin, professor of economics at Washburn college, said that the economist for twenty years has been pointing the way for agriculture. His theory is that the same theory that the manufac turere has been following for 20 years is correct—namely one of scarcity. Irwin urged retention of the pro cessing tax, which, he claimed, ' means the same to agriculture that tariff does to industry. In con clusion Prof. Irwin outlined fodr steps that must be made in the way of adjustment if agriculture is to be saved. They were the development of a national land policy in the place of a haphazard one, voluntary or com pulsory control of crops, a national rather than local tariff act favoring one section of the country only, and the maintenance of a sane mentul attitude toward all of the problems confronting agriculture. The cattle population in the sand hill area, comprising 33 counties, according to a recent survey, totals 497.000 head of cattle, and there are herds of all sizes from 50 to 40.000 head. The ranches vary in size from 640 to 140,000 acres. This country is the genuine arti cle in the way of range land. It is the third largest cattle range in the United States and cattle roam ing over these hills bear 14,000 brands. The term “sandhills” sounds arid, but these fertile valleys embrace some of the most productive hay lands in the country. Last fall when cattlemen in oth er states were selling their herds to the government for luck of wat er and winter feed, the Nebraska ranchers were able to hang on be cause they had lakes and thous ands of stacks of hay in reserve. The mild open winter enabled them to pull thru with minimum losses. The Cone delinquent tax act was intended to encourage delinquent taxpayers to pay up under a 10 year cancellation plan which can I celled interest and penalties as an I inducement, was stressed by the Woods Bros, corporation in asking for a motion for a rehearing. The » supreme court had previously * thrown out the legislation on a ; technical point. Importance of the act was stressed by the Lincoln company, in view of the increased taxes and anticipated cost of old age pen sion and other security legislation. Conn W. Moose, of Omaha, dis missed recently by Governor R. L. j Cochran as director of the state | department of insurance made a j statement to the press in which \ he denounced the governor’s * charges against him as “false” and | said that he would demand a “full | and complete” hearing. | In announcing Moose's dismis sal, the governor had charged the insurance director with lobbying despite an order forbidding such practice, with neglect of duty and unwarranted absence from his of fice, and with “being generally presumptive as to his legal powers with a view to creating an auth ority not contemplated by the Ne braska statutes.” John S. Logan, Fairfield, has been named by Gov. Cochran act ing director of insurance. State Engineer A. C. Tilley has stated that bids will be called Au gust 29 for and estimated $260,000 of highway work with state funds. Most of the letting, according to Tiley, will be maintenance gravel. Forty-nine maintenance gravel projects are included with two other constructions. They are U. S. highway No. 6 between Funk and Axtell in Phelps and Kearney counties, 5.2 miles bituminous mat surfacing, Nebraska highway No. 2 between Waco and Utica in York county, 3 miles of gravel surfacing. Nebraska’s first WPA projects are in the last stages before final approval by President Roosevelt as the federal allotment board re commended that $180,018 be spent for 16 projects in this state. The first batch of applications asked $425,328 for 2 projects. Since then three more groups of requests have been forwarded, most recent batch being sent late of last week. Prior to the last request, Nebraska had asked $594,882 for 58 projects almost all of them backed by pledges of local aid for additional sums. Harry L. Hopkins, works pro gress administrator, announced re cently a six week’s leave of ab sence to D. F. Felton, Nebraska administrator. J. R. Smith, a deputy administra tor under Felton, was made acting administrator during Felton’s leave. Hopkins said Felton, who has been ill, asked for the leave on advice of his physicians. ANNOUNCING!

Blackstone Electric Washer and Ironer, both for $09.50.—Adv. Economic Highlights The new tax bill—designed to in crease the Federal government’s annual income by the neat sum of $270,000,000—as framed by the House, is in accord with the Presi dent’s wishes in general, but goes against them in a number of par ticulars. The bill is based on the “Share the wealth’’ idea. It would boost taxes on individual incomes in ex cess of $50,000 per year; would re place the existing flat corporation tax with a graduated levy; place new levies on inheritances and gifts and tax excess corporation profits from 5 to 10 per cent. Thus, it broadly follows Mr. Roosevelt’s recommendations. However, as an Associated Press dispatch recently pointed out, it differs from them in four import ant instances: First, the President proposed | that the existing 13% per cent cor- j poration tax be replaced with a levy graduated from 10% per cent to 16% per cent. The House bill provides a graduation of only one per cent—from 13% to 14% per cent. Second, the President strenuous ly objected to letting corporations deduct from their taxable income gifts made to charity. This recom mendation stirred up a flood of op position throut the country, re sulted in many unfavorable edit orials in papers usually friendly to Mr. Roosevelt. The House appar ently taking notice of what seems to be the popular side, has put in the bill a provision allowing cor porations to make tax-exempt gifts to charity to the extent of 5 per cent of their income. Third, the President recommend ed that a new tax be levied on dividends paid by one corporation to another. The House bill does not provide for this. Fourth, the House bill contains an excess profits tax, something that was not mentioned in Mr. Roosevelt’s message. Aside from these discrepancies, the bill’s course thru the House was all that the Administration could have desired. Amendment after amendment designed to take some of the sting out of the bill was overwhelmingly defeated. Only amendment adopted was the one concerning corporation gifts. Attitude of business is one of complete, unqualified opposition to the bill, and to the principles it represents. Harper Sibley, Presi dent of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, spoke for in dustry at large when he said pas sage of the bill “would increase the forces of disorganization,” and that the Chamber would not relax its efforts to defeat the measure. Republican spokesmen in the House denounced the bill as “confiscatory, socialism and demagoguery.” The new and increased taxes pro vided by the bill will produce rel atively little revenue, in the light of the government’s vast spending. They will tend to frighten invest ors, force more money in to tax free government bonds. (Mr. Roosevelt has said that these bonds should be taxed, but that requires a constitutional amendment.) How ever, the President appears to be lieve that the benefits of the bill will outweigh the disadvantages. That, like the bill’s fate, remains to be seen. Tundra Tundra Is the cold, desert, tree less plains which form the Arctic lowlands of fturope and Asia. The name is alsb generally applied to a similar .srea in North America. The word is of Hussion origin and means a marshy plain. The pre vailing low temperatures are con sequent on high latitude and prox imity to the frozen northern ocean and result in very scanty vegetation.

His eight legs are thick 1 Hr? those of the elephant and the creature always is looking for something to fight. From the south country comes the word that the Holt county hay crop this year is the heaviest har vested in several years and the quality is exceptionally good. While the price will not be very high this season, on account of the abund ance of feed, farmers and stock men are jubilant because they will have a lot of feed for their stock the coming winter. Monday night was spent here by several officials of the Burlington railway. Vice President Taylor, on the job only several weeks, came in on the Ford railway automobile and went west Tuesday on the Northwestern tracks to Crawford. Others were J. H.

Tuesday John Vanderlinden op ened the door to a sort of cave at the Burlington railway waterworks north of the roundhouse and was confronted with a fat and sassy black widow spider. The spider at first retreated on her web, more than half the size of the door, then rushed Vanderlinden who flourish ed a stick, knocking the widow for a rowr of knotholes and exposing the contents of her traveling bag, about 300 whitish eggs the size of mustard seeds. Most of the eggs were destroyed. The body of this spider was the size of a dime. Sev eral days ago Vanderlinden killed another black widow at the round house when he sought George Mitchell on business.
