With customery promptness1 the first sectiori line roads to be cleared of the jungle of weeds are along the James ranch. A half mile of road which was the duty of the writer to have mowed was also in cluded, but it would have been entirely all right here had Jesse sent the mowers clear on through. The forgotten dust storms brot in some fertilizer and with it a lot of weed seeds. There are big ger and better weeds this year than ever. Rank and tall by the road sides traffic along the way is ob scured. It might not be a bad idea to let the weeds stand for a wind break against the November blasts. Obituary.

Johnson, Pastor. THE NEBRASKA SCENE (Continued from page 1.) when they win an election. He likes politics and is bound to run again for something, but he hates like heck to take another licking. Consequently he is doing some deep studying before committing him self. Democrats mentioned for the senatorial job include Former Gov ernor Keith Neville, of North Platte, who probably tops the list; Charles W. Bryan, tb*«e times gov ernor and defeated for the demo cratic senatorial nomination in the last primary; Harry B. Coffee, con gressman from the fifth district, and J. E. Lawrence, Lincoln news paper editor, who is said to be as sured of Norris’ support in case the old veteran decides not to run again. Incidentally, Terry Carpenter has announced he will ruti for sen ator if Norris steps out of the picture. One thing appears to be certain at the present time—Charles Mc Cloud, of York, will not seek re election asrepublican national com mitteeman for Nebraska. Either McKelvie or Simmons is expected to capture that honor next year. It is also certain that if McKel vie chooses to run, Simmons will not oppose him, and vice versa. “Sam” and “Bob” as the new deal democrats affectionately call them, could put Siamese twins to shame, politically speaking. Another interesting issue con fronts the voters the first con gressional district. Congressman Luckey doubtlessly intends to run for re-election, but opposition right in his own political family is early shaping itself. a goou man to Det on, the pro gnosticators say, would be Walter Jurgensen, lieutenant governor. He slipped into public office with the 1933 democratic landslide by a very small majority, but two years later he made the wise boys open their eyes by receiving the greatest num ber of vots and the largest maj ority over his opponent of any state officer. Jurgensen is a man of action rather than words, and he hasn’t committed himself as yet. How ever, he has taken over the news paper published in College View, suburban Lincoln, pepped it up con siderably, renamed it the Nebraska Digest, and has added the title of Publisher and Editor to his name. Things look suspicious when an al legedly normal man enters the weekly newspaper business these days of his own free will. Mayor Bryan of Lincoln, is also sized up by many observers as op position to Luckey. The former governor is “dry-nursing” the sup posedly dry first district in a very evident fashion. Soldier compensation which dur ing the past few years has become one of the country’^ major political issues, has been interpreted by James L. Brown, Lincoln lawyer, orator and war veteran, in a man ner that brings to Nebraska veter ans a new perspective on the issue. “We who wore the uniform of our country are made less impati ent by postponment of compensa tion payment,” he declares, “than by the character of some argu ments urged against our rights to a bonus. The argument that the country cannot afford, to pay it now is sound. The arguments that a soldier who escaped crippling dis ease or injury should be content with his good fortune, and, that he capitalizes patriotism when he seeks compensation, try the pati ence sorely. Still, we must be pati ent. For the republic is not un gratful; it is a nation distracted. “We should not forget the coun try's experience since the war. First an unnatural prosperity brot forth a materialism and self-inter est which are exasperated always by claims resting on a basis so in tangible as loyalty and gratitude. Second, as startling as a fireball in the night, the waves and tides of taxation and vanishing values seemed suddenly to be washing away the security Of materialism. Fear replaced self-interest, and the depression deepened the cloud thru which the public saw the soldier and his sacrifices. “But those twin imposters, pros perity and depression, will pass. Everything passes. And when they are gone a clearer, finer apprecia tion of all value will come. The country will remember its warriors as it ever has; with warm appre ciation. “Soldier! the country will re member you as you stood in line and gave a mortgage on your per fect body, on your chance for hap piness. It will see you toiling thru mud on long marches under heavy packs. It will glimpse you hungry, cold; and tortured by a haunting fear that never again would you look upon that face you love. “Just yet, your sacrifice is not clearly discerned. The country still sees as thru a glass, darkly. And so we must be patient as out of the shadow of depression comes the argument, from those who know not what they say, that we would ‘capitalize patriotism.’ Of them, we can say with Komeo: He jests at scars that never felt a wound. “The bonus will be paid. In the sincerity of our people we can trust.’’ It has been definitely learned that the constitutioanlity of the! [ state bonding act, passed by the j 1935 legislature, will be tested in the courts by action brought by bonding companies. Inside infor mation also reveals that a court test of the new law placing a 2 per cent gross tax on premiums of fire insurance companies will be made. Two main points will be argued in the hearing on the bonding act which gives the state virtually a monopoly on the bonding of state officials and most officials of gov ernmental subdivisions. First, if a public official is bond ed by the state (if the state gives a bond to the state), does that con stitute a wavier of the bond? Second, the Nebraska constitu tion provides that the credit of the state shall never be given or loaned in aid of any individual, associa tion or corporation. Is that pro vision violated by the new law? The tax on fire insurance com panies is supposed to be paid to cities and villages to pay relief benefits to members of fire depart ments, and the insurance com panies say it is a plain case of the local governments shoving their rightful duties over on them. Applications for reimbursement of losses to crops filed with the state hail insurance bureau total approximately $100,000 while there is only $35,000 in the coffers to pay the losses. This means the losses will have to be paid on a fractional pro rata basis.
