ONGRESS AS SEEN BY A NEBRASKAN By Karl Stefan This afternoon the president held a press conference and told the newspapermen that $1,137,000,000 would have to be raised in taxes to carry out the present program. That word reached the hill and was discussed by the leaders with great interest. They began searching for a way to raise at least $786,000,000 a year in additional taxes for the next three years and $620,000,000 a year thereafter. The joker in all of this is that the president has made no suggestion as to how this money is to be raised. He divided the totals in sections, the bonus, substitute taxes in place of the pro cessing tax, payment for opera tions of the new farm legislation, and reimbursement taxes to cover what processing taxes would have brought in during the fiscal year 1036. The old timers are open in their statements that there is no other way of raising money in this country except from the taxpayers. Reports that congress may ad journ early brings lobbyists out in larger numbers and working in re lays. Congressional offices are be I ing visited by nearly everybody that is interested for or against some piece of legislation. With the jcampaign year at hand, the ad \ ance men who sell advertising, photographs and nearly anything for campaigns, call on members who are out after office again. The big sugar lobby is here with pow erful workers. Many of these lobbyists have come half way around, the world to place their argument before members. Lob byists of other big business and various organizations are here in large numbers. They work on members by telephone, messenger, in the hotel lobbies and in the house office;. Heads of both polit ical parties are almost as active as the lobbyists of various industry. During munitions investigations, one witness who sold amunition in South America, told the committee that he bought cast off machine guns once owned by our govern ment for a few cents apiece and now the attorney general has ordered a special investigation to ascertain if any machine guns sold as “junk” are falling into the hands of gangsters and others. The bureau of investigation is going to conduct a thorough inquiry as a result of the testimonies recently given before the senate. Military officials have no information on whether these "junk” guns are be ing put to improper use after sale by the department. The attorney general has ordered the bureau of investigation to seek “the findings of facts.” - While that revolution is going on^ in Tokio six Japenese naval officers were inspecting our naval school at Annapolis. They were escorted around the grounds by officers in charge of the academy. Army and navy officers tell us that the Jap- j anese naval attaches assigned to this country are among the most inquisitive visitors we have. It is a well known fact that foreign military and naval attaches have a lot of freedom in our various GALENA LUMBER COMPANY Phone 74 Ask About j Electricity Our electric system must be designed to carry the maximum annual load which occurs during the winter months. This load drops off sharply in the spring due to changing seasons with the result that we have considerable excess capacity in plants and lines in the period from March to June. Therefore, during these four months we propose to pass on to our customers the use of this excess capacity, by selling all electricity over and above last year’s bill, plus 5%, at 2c per K. W. H. Each month’s bill in 1936 will be compared with the correspond* ing month in 1935 to determine the amount to be billed at 2c. EXAMPLE: If your April 1935 bill was $3.00, then all electricity used over and above $3.15 ($3.00 plus 5%) during March 1936, will be billed at 2c per K.W.H. This new low rate shall apply to residence and com mercial lighting, residence and commercial optional customers and rural customers on bills designated April, May, June and July.

While army and navy are prohib ited from saying how they feel, the time has come for Americans to become a little secret about their information. The foreign army and navy men have access to the con gressional records, can secure cop ies of all hearings of the military and navy committees of the house and senate and pretty well know what the army and navy are doing all the time. One official remarked. “It’s hard for me to get any in formation about our army and navy. I guess I’ll go up to the Japanese embassy and see if I can get more detailed information.” GAMBLE’S BIRTHDAY SALE!
