They started out with the important Guffy coal bill. That went thru like greased lightn ing with about 75 members not present. It was a record vote, 194 for and. 168 against. Then they brought up the railroad pension bill and that passed in ten or fifteen minutes without a record vote; the conference report on the rivers and harbors act passed the same way; the item of the Grand Coulee dam was taken up separately. Those who want to save money felt it will eventually cost the taxpayers three hundred and nine million dollars and started a fight against it; they felt that the people on the Colum bia river wanted this Grand Coulee money to put into production thous ands of acres of land at a time we are reducing production of farm produce. That is why the many votes against it but the measure went thru with machine-like pre cision; then came the omnibus bill on bridges and that too was pas sed; the conference report on the banking bill too, went thru rapidly. The swan song of the first session of the 74th congress has b^en sung. Congressmen are packing up and going home. Holt county as the first county in the Third district to get the real idea of farm-to-market roads and as a result the division of allot ment has announced. $9,725 for the construction of farm-to-market roads in that county thru the WPA organization. .The WPA adminis trator in Washington is anxious to get these farn*rt9-market road pro jects going because of their low cost and becatfse they will provide more hours of work to more unem ployed men. The farm states con gressmen who have been working overtime for months on this pro gram with many obstacles conf ront ing them are jubilant over their success. In this way only, have they been able to get some of the five billion works relief money into the real farming towns and com munities. The towns and counties which got the first information on this farm-to-market road program are among those who are getting the first benefit. The Boy Scout jamboree which was to have attracted 30,000 boy scouts from all parts of the world is out of the picture because of the continued spread of infantile par alysis in Virginia. The three temp orary wooden and tented cities which were to have been the home of the scouts are now being torn down. Everything had been set for the big jamboree. The pro grams were all printed and local officials and committees were ready for functioning. Thousands of dol lars were spent in building and preliminary work. But the par alysis spread too rapidly and the entire program has been called off. All members except those back ing the Frazier-Lemke refinance bill are ready to quit and go home. Those backing the low interest bill are signed up to stay until they get enough signatures on their peti tion. They know the bill won’t come up for consideration this session but they are filibustering to get signatures. The passing by the senate yesterday of the Frazier Lemke moratorium bill was met with much pleasure and a few more signatures for the refinance bill were secured. Predictions are that enough signatures will be forthcoming before adjournment. And action on the bill is assured next session. Fifty-two congressmen are sick. Forty-eight of them are in the hos pitals. Scores have already gone home. The other day when the house turned down a bill to spend $25,000 to acquire the Freeman Homestead in Nebraska to com memorate the first homestead in the United States there was only a handful of members present. A few minutesafter they turned down the Nebraska memorial they asked for $75,000.00 to erect a monument on the Panama canal. Members who are trying to start saving a little of the taxpayers money asked them to cut it down to fifty thous and. They thought they could build a pretty good monument for fifty thousand. So they had to vote on it and those who wanted the sev enty-five thousand got it by a vote of 30 to 31. By one vote. The significant feature of this is that there were only sixty-one out of the 435 spending $75,000 of the taxpayers money. The news of the death of Will Rogers and Wiley Post came into the house of representatives the day following their deaths. The an nouncement caused members from Oklahoma to make eulogies and speeches honoring the memory of the great humorist and the great aviator. Yesterday when some reference was made to Will Rogers and plans to name a great national highway in his honor there was a Will Rogers seated in the presiding officer’s chair. The house was in committee of the whole and Will Rogers of Oklahoma, was asked by Speaker Byrnes to preside over the committee. Will Rogers, the con gressmen, knew Will Rogers the humorist well. The committee investigating the chain store lobby got $7,500 more. This will make $27,500 in all which the taxpayers are giving to find out if the chain stores have a super lobby here. The house and the senate are spending $200,000 to find out all about holding company lobbies. These committees plan to work during the recess period and report next year. Several letters have come in ask ing if the Secretary of Labor is a woman, and if so, is she married and what is her real name. Her name in the directory is*“Frances Perkins Secretary of Labor,” but it is “Madam Secretary” and also “Miss Perkins.” In private life Miss Perkins is Mrs. Paul Wilson. Miss Perkins was 53 years of age the other day. , No one seems to know just how many flood lights are used to light up the dome of the Capitol at night. By actual count there are 27. KARL STEFAN. THE NEBRASKA SCENE by James R. Lowell This is the week that laws pas sed without the emergency clause by the 1935 legislature make their bow as full-fledged statutes to the Nebraska public. Eighty-six new laws became effective Monday, but only 53 of them are of any general interest. Chief interest, perhaps is center ed on the state bonding law. It puts the state in the business of bonding its major officers, and re quires the services of a secretary, attorney and sizeable clerical staff. Two measures sponsored by Mrs. R. L. Cochran, the governor’s wife, provide for the establishment of county and regional libraries by means of a one mill tax which the counties may levy if they wish. A state library commission will be appointed and it will serve without pay except for expenses incurred. The new state aeronautical com mission has taken up its duties and it will have an estimated $45,0Q0 a year to spend in supervising avi ation in the state. The money comes from the conversion of the 4-cent state tax on gasoline used in aircraft. The commissioners serve without pay, except for expenses, but a $4,000 a year secretaryship was created. A brief resume of the points of interest in the other new laws fol lows: The individual liability of stock holders in banks is repealed. Municipal light and power plants may be acquired by Nebraska com munities, and future earnings pledged for payment; boards of public works may be established in second class cities; additional elec tion districts may be created in second class cities; second class cities may acquire community houses for recreational purposes; a 2 mill levy may be made for park development in cities of 5,000 to 25,000 population. All costs in a change of venue in civil cases must be paid by the county where the action started; a legal newspaper is defined as one having a bonafide weekly circula tion of 300 or more, published for 52 consecutive weeks prior to the publication of an official notice, and printed in part, at least, in its home office; restrictions are removed from illiterate Indians and negroes as witnesses in court. A 90-day limit is placed on filing claims against a county, and semi annual publication of unpaid claims must be made; the maximum tax levy for counties of 9,000 popula tion or less is set at 4 mills, in cluding poor relief; road overseers are to be elected in counties hav ing the township organization. Various degrees of offence in committing arson are set up with varying penalties to match; break ing and entering an automobile is a felony punishable by one to two years imprisonment; it is a mis demeanor to enter a false name or address in registering an automo bile; a person not heard from in seven years is legally dead. The incumbent of an elective of fice who runs for another elective office loses his job when the office he ran for commences its new term, regardless of whether he was suc cessful in his campaign; names of both political and non-politcal can didates for office will appear on the same ballot. Sheriffs receive 8 cents a mile for travel outside of their own county while on business, and board for prisoners is limited to 75 cen'ts a day in counties where the average number of prisoners is less than 50, and 45 cents a day where the average is more. Hunters, fishermen and trappers must wear a button in their coat lapel. Incidentally, because of in ability to get production started this year, Nebraska nimrods will not have to wear the badges until next January. The badges will be manufactured at the men’s reform atory at Lincoln. Counties shall bear the expense of graveling roads connecting un incorporated villages with state or county highways not more than five miles distant (this applies to counties operating under the com missioner system); state mainten ance of highways other than the state system is required if the roads in question were built in whole or in part with federal funds; special permits may be issued by the state for driving over-size or over-weight vehicles on the high ways. Insurance combinations to con trol rates are prohibited, as is dis crimination in insurance rates; a tax is levied on fire insurance com panies in the state, the proceeds to go for firemen’s relief funds. Alto they will not be used until next year, the law setting up the unicameral legislative system are now in force. They provide for a non-political body of 43 members to be elected from as many districts. Feeders and caretakers of live stock are given a prior lein on said livestock for their services; a 12 month statute of limitations for service leins on mares and cows and their offspring is established; registration of stallions and jacks is required, but because the legis lature failed to appropriate funds to carry on the work, the law will not be enforced, according to Dr. John S. Anderson, state vterinar ian. The $3 registration fee pro vided is not enough to cover the cost, he said. The age limit for the adjutant general of the Nebraska national guard is raised from 65 to 70 years. This was done to keep Gen eral Paul, the incumbent, in office. April 13th is set aside as Jeffer son Memorial Day, to be observed by the governor’s proclamation. Regulations are set up for tow ing vehicles on the state highways, with special permits and. fees; trucks and busses stopping on the > highways must carry and use red flags for the daytime and red flares at night (three types of flares have been approved by the state en gineer). County blind aid pension is set at $30 a month. Dentists are prohibited from ad- 4 vertising. ' A state commission for control of the feeble-minded is to be set up. Issuance of marriage licenses to the feeble-minded is to be prohib ited, and, statistics concerning the problem are to be gathered; a bur eau of education and registration for nurses is created. A commis sion of four is to be appointed with the state superintendent of public instruction as ex-officio member. The secretary of state takes on the added duty of real estate com missioner, and he is to appoint a three-memebr advisory board to re ceive no pay excepting expenses. Real estate brokers and salesmen must secure permits and. pay a fee for same. School districts are prohibited under penalty of a fine from fur nishing free transportation to their high school for students residing closer to another high school; a special annual tax to constitute a | sinking fund for building and im proving schools may be voted by the members of a school district. The tax shall not exceed 3 mills and shall not run for more than 10 years; in school districts having less than five school children, trans portation will be provided to take said children to the closest neigh boring school.
