THE NEBRASKA
SCENE
by James E. Lowell
One hundred and eleven airplanes
are listed for tuxation in Nebraska
in 1935, and altho the/e are four
more planes than a year ago, the
total valuation has dropped from
$79,880 in 1934 to $73,730.
Separate listing of airplanes on
the tax rolls is of comparatively
recent origin. The first such list
ing was in 1926 when there were
21 planes valued at $11,720, or less
than a third of the value of just
one of the huge Boeing transports'
that now roars over Nebraska.
In 1926 Cherry county apparent
ly most air-minded of the 93 Ne
braska counties. It had three
planes, while Cuming, Dawson,
Douglas, Lincoln and Phelps each,
had two. In 1935 Douglas leads
with 31 planes. Lancaster is sec
ond witfi 12, while Hall ranks third
with nine and Nuckolls is fourth
with five.
The state reached its peak in
number of planes owned within its j
confines in 1931 when there were |
148 aircraft valued at $164,410.
Douglas county had 50, Lancaster
14, and Adams 10.
Dr. Frank A. Brewster, of Hold
rege is one of the veterans of avia
tion in Nebraska. During the 17
years that have elapsed since he
purchased his first plane, a Curtiss
JN4 of the type commonly known
as a “Jenney” and used as a train
ing ship during the war, he has
flown and ow ned more than a dozen
planes for which he has paid close
to $60,000 and in which he has
traveled more than a quarter of a
million miles.
Dr. Brewster bought Ip* first
plane for the same reason that he
'bought his first outomobile (the
'first automobile in Furnas county
!—a one-cylinder Cadillac) namely,
: better transportation. The ship
CO $8,000. There were no hang
fevs"then and when the ship was not
1 in use he tied it to a fence to pre
vent the wind blowing it away.
Souvenir collectors were a big
1 problem.
The Holdrege physician’s par
| ticular field is surgery, and he is
: called to various points within an
area of more than 200 square
i miles; he operates a hospital at
I Oberltn, Kans„ as well as at Hold
| rege. The only means of trans
portation that could enable him to
make all of his calls, and to make
1 one or more daily trips between
the two hospitals, is the airplane.
Word has come in thru the
“grape-vine” system to the effect
that the validity of the acts by the
last legislature dividing the state
into 43 unicameral assembly dis
! tricts and providing for the nomin
ation and election of members un
[der that apportionment, will be
j tested in the courts in a month
; or so.
George C. Mason, Lincoln at
torney, admits that he has been
hired to bring the suit, but refused
to say just what the grounds for
the suit will be.
Meantime, the political pot is
gradually getting up steam. State
Representative Dayton Sullenberg
er, of Chadron, who said several
months ago that he would run for
the unicameral legislature, last
week made the actual filing. A.
Linpoln Sutton, Omaha member of
the legislature, also has filed as a
candidate, bringing the total num
ber of candidates to four who have
tossed their hats in the ring.
State Senator John S. Callan, of
Odell while visiting recently at the
state house, said he probably will
| beacandidatefor one-house honors.
Congressman Henry C. Luckey
of the First district arrived back
in Lincoln last week and announced
himself a candidate for re-election.
He predicts that President Roose
velt will be re-elected next fall by
I a large majority.
The talk is going around that
James T. Quigley of Valentine will
be a candidate for governor. He
represents the Mullen-Burke fac-|
tion of the democratic party in Ne
braska, and that faction doesn’t
like the way Governor Cochran has
been siding in with the Norris
i Felton-Bryan faction in recent
l months.
i Incidentally, your correspondent
i has found out why so much prefer
i ence has been shown to Dwight
Felton when the political plums
: were being passed. Felton, despite
■ his handicap of poor health, is the
most valuable asset tho Norris
Bryan democrats have in Nebraska, j
Felton is said by a number of |
politicians, who should know, to
have been the guiding hand behind
Cochran’s campaign for governor |
last year, and has come to the aid
of his party several times with
plenty of good hard cash. In ad-!
dition to all this, he is considered ,
one of the smartest heads in the
party.
Governor Cochran offended the
Mullen-Burke faction when he in
sisted on getting the job of WPA
administrator in Nebraska for Fel
ton. That is just about the biggest |
plum in the state, but friends of
Felton say he deserves it. The
only fly in the ointment is the fact
that he probably will be prevented
from finishing the job by his poor
health,
Mullen and Burke still are hope
ful of getting one of their hench
men in as assistant to Felton, but
they have failed to make much
progress as yet.
Terry Carpenter, of Seottsbluff,
is said to be having a hard time
deciding whether to run for gov
ernor on the democratic or repub
lican ticket. Dwight Griswold has
just about decided to run again for
governor.
Attempts to settle outside of
court the challenge of the state
assistance acts has failed. The
acts authorize a one-cent ‘ax on
gasoline for relief purposes. These
funds also were to have been used
in part or in full for old age pen
sions.
Constitutionality of the tew is
being questioned by 23 counties
not on federal relief rolls. They
refused to dismiss their suit, which
is tieing up the relief fund, unless
a court order were granted declar
ing void that part of the law which
provides that the proceeds of the
gasoline tax shall he distributed on
the basis of need.
RADIOS!
It is reported that Gamble Stores
have sold over 3 times as many
Radios this year as during the
same period last year. One of the,
reasons is a 7-tube Foreign Recep-1
tion Set, at $29.95.—Adv.
