payer’s money is going to waste on
ships which should not be sub
sidized.
One member told the house that
one ship operator got a million
dollars for carrying one pound of
mail. Those who voted for the bill
gave it out as their belief that un
less ships are subsidized there will
never be an American merchant
marine.
About 23 million dollars which
would go to the Philippine people
as a result of the evaluation of the
American dollar was a question de
bated in the senate the other day,
and the question will soon come be
fore the Insular Affairs Committee
of the house.
The Philippine representatives
want these 23 million dollars pretty
badly, but the senate defeated an
attempt to turn that money over to
them. Indications are that the
house committee will follow suit.
The question has to do with the
gold content of the dollar. The
Filipinos want the difference. Uncle
Sam figures that if American citi
zens didn’t get it, and if the gov
ernment made a profit on it, the
government is entitled to a profit
in this country.

A visit to Gettysburg battle fields
Sunday brought acquaintanceship
with H. E. Bumbaugh, n licensed
battlefield guide, who has conduct
ed thousands of people over the
17,000 acres of the battlefield. He
tells of guiding a lot of Nebras
kans over the battlefield, especially
some of those who had relatives in
the five Wisconsin units which took
part in the terrible fighting which
occurred there on July 1, 2 and 3,
of 1863.
Every grave which can be found
on these battlefields will be marked
by o flag, and will be decorated
with flowers. Thousands of people
are planning to be present to view
the annual event on Memorial Day.
The oldest Lutheran seminary on
Seminary Ridge still attracts much
attention from visitors to the bat

The “wheat field”—the field over
which Pickett and his men charged
to their death—“Blowdly Creek,”
and other important places of the
battlefields, are now crowded with
visitors.

Pursang Often Aids
in Clearing Complexion
Helps Build Red Blood Corpuscles
and Tones Up Entire System
How do yon know your skin can't be
white and beautiful? Why take it for
granted that you must look sallow and
under-nourished? Perhaps you're sim
ply run-down — as so many peoole are
at this time of year — and need more
iron in their blood. We recommend
Pursang to you.
Pursang is the product of the Mc
Kesson laboratories, famous in the
manufacture of drugs and medicines
for more than a century. It is a scien
tific preparation containing organic
compounds of iron and copper. These
important elements make Pursang an
effective hematinic— a builder of hemo
globin — the substance which makes
red blood corpuscles red. In addition,
Pursang contains ingredients that stim
ulate appetite, make you enjoy eating
more, and make your food worth more
to you.
If lack of iron in your blood ia drag

Pursang today.

THE NEBRASKA
SCENE
by James R. Lowell
Governors and various other
state officers may come and go,
but the first session of the uni
cameral legislature will stand out
in governmental history. The suc
cess or failure of the one house
plan will depend to no small degree
upon how the first group of 43
legislators conduct themselves.
Legislation enacted will to a
large degree be reflected by the
type of men sent to the one house
legislature. Of the 84 men and
two women nominated in the prim
ary election there are many very
good law-makers. The future of
the unicameral will largely depend
upon the calibre of the 43 persons
sent to Lincoln next January by
the voters.
While the legislators will be
elected on a non-partisan ballot and
no politics be involved, there are
a number of pertinent legislative
questions that have already come
to the fore and which should and
probably will influence the voters’
choice.
The public power situation prom
ises to be a vital issue in the legis
lative election. The father of the
unicameral, Senator Norris, is re
coginsed as an almost fanatical
exfioHbnt of government develop
ment of public resources, especial
ly power. Candidates may have to
take a stand on the issue in the
forthcoming election.
Interest is focused on the public
power question in Nebraska as a
result of the injunction suit brot
recently by private corporations to
prevent the linking of the state’s
three big projects. The trial will
not be heard before the Nebraska
general election in November and
in the tricounty area especially the
voters will want to know w'hat the
unicameral candidates think of pub
lic power development. The state
wide public power system pending
in this state involves a $56,000,000
expenditure.
The Nebraska Progressive
league, which caters strongly to
Norris, already is attempting to
force the power issue. Candid
ates for the one-house legislature,
in order to gain the approbation of
the league, must favor municipal
ownership and must be willing to
vote for the submission of a con
stitutional amendment making
power a state monopoly.
Exponents of public power hope
to see such projects developed to
the point where in 20 years a 5
per cent tax on power will sup
plant school taxes.
Representative Ed Lusienski of
Columbus, one of the two nominees
in the 26th legislative district, says
he intends to sponsor a bill in the
legislature next January (if he is
elected) for the submission of a
constitutional amendment making
power a state monopoly. He in
dicates he will “play ball” with the
Progressive League.
Another very important question
the next legislature will have to
decide upon is that of social secur
ity. The most important phase is
whether old age assistance will be
continued in its present form and,,
if so, how will it be financed ?
Other issues will include ratifi
cation of the child labor amend
ment, increased appropriation for
the state university, and how to
lower state governmental expend
itures for the next biennium.
James G. Mothersead, of Scotts
bluff, president of the Nebraska
Bar association, declares that the
first unfcameral legislature may
face “the worst conglomeration of
legislation we have ever had that
cannot be respected or enforced.
"There is always a large group
of people who have ideas how to
save the world by legislature,” he
says. “There are any number of
persons who have ideas for legisla
tion that they have been trying
Ivainly for years to get thru*the
two house legislature. With the
meeting of the unicameral they are
going to get out these ideas, dust
them off and try to get them into
the form of legislation."
Mr. Mothersead contends that
legislation is not a law unless it
meets with popular approval, or
unless the sovereign has the pow
er or ability to enforce it.
Senator Norris points out that
one of the most beneficial aspects
of the unicameral will be bringing
law-making out into the open. We
really have three houses instead of
two in the two-house legislative
system, he says.
The conference committee, in
reality, constitutes a third house,
according to Norris. The mem
bers of this house are not elected
by the people and the latter have
no choice as to who these mem
bers shall be, This conference
committee is many times, in very
important matters of legislation,
the most important branch of our
legislature.
Th<y;e is no record kept of the
workings of the conference com
mittee. Its work is performed, in
the main, in secret. When a bill
passes one branch of the two-house
legislature, and passes the other
branch in a different form, the
matter is referred to the confer
ence committee which is arbitrari
ly selected by the presiding officers
the two branches are under. Taken
by and large, the conference com
mittee is the real law-making body
of our present legislative system.
Senator Norris’ contention is
that the one-house legislature will
serve in itself as a conference com
mittee.
How to be successful in political
affairs altho a republican, is being
demonstrated by several young
men around the capitol city.

GUM-DIPPED TIRES
WIN INDIANAPOLIS 500 MILE RACE
Last Saturday Louis Meyer broke the track record, at
109 miles per hour, driving the entire race without tire trouble
of any kind. He is the only driver ever to win the race three
times, and he has always used Firestone Tires.
No tires except Firestone Gum-Dipped Tires could have
resisted the terrific heat generated at such high sustained speeds on
the hot brick track, lap after lap, hour after hour. You can have no
greater proof of blowout protection.
Not one of the thirty-three drivers would risk his life on any other
tire, for each driver knows that heat is the chief cause of tire failure
and blowouts. Firestone cords are soaked in liquid rubber, which
saturates and coats every cotton fiber, preventing friction and heat
and adding great strength. This is the Firestone patented process of
Gum-Dipping, that gives you greatest blowout protection and safety.
Profit by the experience of race drivers. Equip your car today
with Firestone Gum-Dipped Tires — it costs so little to protect lives
worth so much. .
