MALONE, County Judge. (County Court Seal) 33-3 C. E. Cronin, Attorney TO THE ORIENT WITH CONGRESS (Continued from page 1.) second—whom he married in 1913 comes from Batangas province and helps him entertain. Neither Aguinaldo nor his wife speak Eng lish. Together they talk Tagolog. Otherwise they speak Spanish. Aguinaldo lives on a pension and “gifts” from “friends.” The pen sion is paid by the Philippine gov ernment and is said to amount to around $10,000 per annum. Is Manuel Quezon, the new Phil ippine president and his followers afraid of Aguinaldo? That is a question which has been asked many times during the visit of this congressional party. Here are some facts: When Quezon was entertain ing members of congress some nights ago we wandered thru his spacious gardens and found Con stabulary men armed to the teeth in every nook and corner. There was at least a full company of these soldiers on guard. It was ob vious that the leader was well guarded against something. The Nebraska congressman rode back from Quezon’s home in Quez on’s car. It was not steel armored and there was no bodyguard. But — here is an unconfirmed story which has been told to nearly every member of the party: The night the party was being enter tained at Quezon’s home there was a mass meeting at Aguinaldo’s home in Cavite province. This story was to the effect that several volunteers had promised to assas sinate Quezon; that secret service men attended the meeting and had confirmed reports to Quezon who in turn took the matter up with Governor General Murphy, request ing Murphy to stop Aguinaldo. Murphy called Aguinaldo to hi« of fice. He asked Aguinaldo if he planned to stop the inauguration ceremonies. Aguinaldo after call ing Quezon many uukuui names replied that the inauguration would be stopped and that he had fiO.OOO men to help him stop it. He claim ed Quezon had stolen the election. After much conferring it is re ported Aguinaldo promised not to interfere. All members of the party agree that Quezon is going to have a hard time keeping the leaders of various political factions satisfied. Many of them want good political jobs. Five of them demand to be made commissioners to the United States. Half a dozen of them have started various “movements” to get mass support; two are starting a “youth's movement." College professors say they want nothing to do with politics. They tell mem bers of this party that “politics in the Orient is a profession.” Mem I hers of the party are agreed that Philippine independence depends on what happens in the next ten years. If the Filipinos can make good at their practicing how to run a republic they get their independ. lence. So far as Uncle Sam is con : cerned he has given much author ' ity and assumed grave responsibil ity. One member says: “Uncle Sam has a wildcat by the tail out here and he can’t let loose." Notes From China Chinese newspapers never print news as Americans like to read it. It is really not correct news but it is colored for home consumption. Talking to a Chinese merchant j about the Chinese Hag—he tells us that the average Chinese does not care what flag flies over him so [ long as he and his clan can go un oppressed. A Calendar For 1936 Calendars for the New Year seem to be scarce. If you haven’t one yet here is one that should do the business if kept where the sun will not have a chance to shine on it.

The answer here is: “Americans have about three hundred million dollars in vested in China. The missionary investment is about 80 millions.” There are uo peasants or merch ants in China not preyed upon either by armies or bandits and 90 per cent are preyed upon by .both. Take away foreign soldiers, war ships and there will be massacres and looting. Missionaries have been here for years. Some sug gest that these missionaries go home and turn over to the Chinese they have educated their property aftd programs. Those here for years know what would happen. There is as much slavery in China today as there was in the United States before the civil war. A prohibited parade of fanatics is met in one village. These are “paid" and “professional” fanatics who drive spikes thru the fleshy part of their arms onto which are tied carved statuetes and emblems which help drive away the devil. Hard to get good American food in China. Members of the party usually order ham and eggs. By the way, there is no such food as Chop Suey or Chow Mein in China. Not like you get in America. Chin ese tell us these are American dishes and not Chinese dishes. Chinese don’t eat Chop Suey or Chow Mein as we know it. Seattle. The congressional party is back home. That is the greatest thing that seems to have come into the life of every man and woman abroad the congressional boat. There is a great scramble to get the baggage checked by the cus toms house men And railroad tick ets are bought ahd nearly every member will be on a train tonight or tomorrow .morning bound for home. Senator Gibson of Vermont, has the longest distance to go. He says he’s stopping no place until he gets home to eat Christmas din ner with his own people. There is no place like home and thank God for the United States of America. KARL STEFAN. THE NEBRASKA SCENE (Continued from page 1.) of public funds or property are still working under bonds furnish ed by private companies or signed by individual guarantors. Nebraska’s political pot is ex pected to start boiling a bit more lively with the turn of the year. Filings of candidates for office are expected to increase, though only a few aspirants for state offices on party tickets are formally entered thus far for the April primaries. There still remains a period of ten weeks for getting nomination pap ers into the secretary of state’s office. Seventy-seven Nebraskans, in cluding two women, have already filed for state positions to be open in 1937, a check-up here reevaled, but there are 97 offices open for the primary election on April 14. Fifty one candidates paid their $10 fees -, to seek a place in the first uni cameral legislature of 43 members. There are no filings, however, from 14 of the 43 districts. Eleven have filed for district court judgeships. Thirty-five district judges will be elected. Among the early entrants were Stanley Wright, republican, of Al liance. O. S. Spillman, republican, of Norfolk, and Roland Rodman, republican of Kimball, all for gov ernor. Spillman and Rodman have not accepted, nor indicated whether they would accept, petitions filed for them. Henry C. Luckey, demo crat, of Lincoln, incumbent from the First district in Congress, has filed for re-nomination. A ten-point change in the political status of Nebraska is shown in a recent survey of the states accord ing to whether they are definitely democratic. In 1932, the poll, pub lished in the Lincoln newspaper, showed that Nebraska was 64 per cent democratic of the majority party vote. Today, however, this has dropped, the poll says, to 54 per cent or a change of ten points. Nebraska has seven electoral votes. Twenty-seven states are listed in the table of states definitely demo cratic. Taxes levied in 1935 for mun icipal and school purposes, and the combined tax rate for all purposes, in each of the 525 incorporated cities and villages of Nebraska, are listed in a pamphlet compiled by State Tax Commissioner Smith. The towns of each county are grouped together in this publica tion, the first of its kind ever is sued by the commissioner’s office. Gering,the county seat of Scotts blutf county, again receives the dis tinction of having the highest rate of total taxation in Nebraska. Its combined levies for 1935 are 73.3 mills, estimated to produce $67,486 of revenue. The population of Ger ing by the 1930 census was 2,531, making the average tax about $27 for each man, woman and child. The city of Scottsbluff, in the same county, has a total tax rate of 65.8 mills. That public records are open to challenge was the claim made re cently by attorneys for the de fendants in the Bass bond premium suit before the Supreme court. The brief supports the appeal from a Lancaster county district court judgment of $56,338 awarded the state board of educational lands and funds against former State Treasurer T. W. Bass, his bond clerk, W. C. Oelkers, their sureties, the Fidelity* Deposit Co. of Mary land and the Columbia Casualty Co. and the Wachob, Bender & Co., Omaha bond house. The judgment runs ultimately against the bond house. Joe Crumrine, of Gering, plumb er and city councilman, has filed, for the legislature from Scottsbluf? county. He is a democrat.

HELLO! We’re back in O’Neill and glad of it! We’re back in the gas business and glad of that too. even though we know we are the traditionally unwanted fourteenth child. Tradition also said the four teenth was either the bright est or dumbest of the bunch. We’reaccepting the latter but it’s fun to be dumb when you don’t know any better. A few months ago when we found ourselves again in possession of our bulk gas plant we began scouting 1 around to find an adequate outlet for our products. But finally decided like “Farmer Jones,” if you want a job done, do it yourself. So, we are here. We have looked over the field of Independent refineries and feel the Globe Products are most outstanding. Not only because they are one of the largest independents, but because their plant—recently installed at McPherson, Kans. —has all the latest improve ments in equipment, includ ing multi-coil cracking plant, vapor recovery and stabilizer unit, and a Lockman treating unit, the first to be installed in the mid-continent field. All bespeak for the Globe people a fine uniform product we are proud to offer for your approval. So, if you should wander away, clear out on the west side, find yourself out of gas and lost, we’ll be tickled to death to take care of your needs and show you the way back home.
