The latter would be a substitute for the county manager law recently de clared unconstitutional by the sn preme court. . It is expected that the legis a ture will provide fu*H to light the state capitol tower for ornamental purposes as well as a safety pre caution for night-flying airplanes. A campaign for a i ate P‘> Rt broadcasting system is underway under the sponsorship of Nebraska law enforcement officers. A 000 appropriation will be asket Mt up the state system. Ben M. Johnson, ot Lincoln, has prepared a proposed bill for the unicameral legislature for a state civil service law copied much alter the Wisconsin law, with the ai - dition of a retirement plan for em ployes. He says it will cut party patronage to the minimum and more efficient service. The Nebraska Crop Growers’ us sociation will call to the legisla tors’ attention u bill defining hy bred corn and prohibiting its sale under false premises. A thoro overhauling of Nebras ka’s laws and ideas on law enforce ment is advocated by Attorney General William H. Wright. It is very likely that an existing state law prohibiting the smoking of cigarettes in public eating places will be repealed. The lowest state tax levy in 16 years, or since the state board of equalization and assessment began to assess property at full value in 1921, bas been set for 1936. The rate is 1.76 mills on the dollar val uation and is designed to raise $3,627,069 in state taxes on thk basis of the grand assessed valu ation of the state of $2,060,835,168, as determined recently by the state board. The estimated total running ex penses of the state governenmt for the next fiscal year is $3,635, 771. This is $738,067 less than the 1935 figure. Tlfb new levy will produce $1,208 more than the esti mated amount needed. The State Tax Commissioner said the absence of legislative and other emergency appro) nations and this year’s higher tax valuations were respon sible for the cut. Savings out of the 1035 legisla tive appropriations which Gover nor Cochran will make in his de partments or will be realized by agreement between the! governor and the board of control total $104,000. For the first time since 1021 an increase appears in the total tan gible property assessment of the state as reported to the state tax commission by county clerk's and assessors. The amount for 193d exceeds last year’s aggregate by $30,591,635, the 1935 assessment being $2,030,243,533. The turn which has finally taken place in the long cycle of decreas ing property values in Nebraska not only boosts this year's assess ment $30,000,000 above that of 193C but also tops the 1934 total by * few hundred thousand. The pres ent drouth however may create an other recession in the 1937 assess ment. Tough sledding apparently i ahead for Nebraska’s propose< farm-labor party, which failed t< gain official recognition at a recen state convention at Lincoln. No enough signers attended, but an other convention is being planne< for late this month.

I SOUTHWEST BREEZES By Romaine Saunders L. G. Gillespie, of O'Neill, was a | visitor in the southwest Tuesday. The Elliott Carpenter family I spent Sunday at the Sigtnan home near Amelia. — Weather conditions quite out | class Secretary Wallace as a factor in crop control. Motorized haying equipment is becoming common. Will it be done I by airplane next ? There are some fields of corn out ; this way that will make a partial ! crop should the frost line hold back long enough. The southwest trusts the farm to market road program will be come a reality and that this sec tion will be designated as one of the zones. With the government spending money like a drunken sailor it ought to have some effect on busi ness. It will take confiscatory taxation to shake New Dealers out of the trnnee. Conditions out this way will not be quite satisfactory to the old timers until they can again go to the lake and pull out two-and-a half-foot pickerel. A noted churchman refers to our times as a "crazy quilt civilization, a mad, silly, off-its-head world.” Morals are less important than movies, and beer more south after than bread. Authoritive statements are made that by means of figure juggling the Roosevelt administration claims a twenty billion debt on the country and the real facts are it is forty billion. Mr. and Mrs. J. Roblyer, Mrs. Hitchcock, Mrs. Anderson and two daughters, Esther and Laureen, all of Atkinson, and Miss Ruby King, of Sheridan, Wyoming, visi ted friends in Swan last Saturday. It is denied that corn-hog checks and political propaganda have been franked from Washington in the same envelope. A denial has not been noticed that they were frank ed, out in the same mail in separ ate etivelopes. Ronald Watson brought a shin ing new truck out from Atkinson Friday for service at the ranch. Lately two fat ones from the ranch were sent to market that weighed over 2000. It takes a substantial vehicle to haul beeves like that to the Omaha market. A little publication by and for the wordly wise reviews the mem ory of Tennessee’s famous monk ey trial when a great Nebraskan clashed with a great agnostic over the authority of the Bible. The old book retains its place as the most memorous thing in print in circulation, regardless of the ful minations of the critics and the shafts of atheists. Clouds and a little rain Sunday evening, with a cooling draft from the north relieved the high press ure temperature in the southwest, now showing the effects of pro longed blistering sunbeams in spots of brown and yellow over the land scape. When one buys an article of mer chandise they have a right to ex pect that article to prove satis factory in service. Employers of labor are not primarily concerned with union organizations. They have a right to expect the workers to turn out the work for which they are paid. The compiler of the Breezes had the privilege of two days with the home folks, his thanks being due to Sheriff Duffy for a swift bnt safe ride to Atkinson Friday. A he was about to board the new Watson truck for the continuation 1 of the journey the car from home I showed up. t _ A writer in a far distant corner 1 of the earth speaks of meeting a ■ group of chiefs whose stalwart * manhood, clean countenances and gleaming whiite teeth unstained by smoke and narcotic juices gave him a glimpse of the finest specimens of the human race he had seen any where. Maybe civilization is not so hot after all. Growth encouraged by a con tinuous stream from a flowing well the Floyd Adams household al Amelia is plucking a goodly crop of ripe tomatoes, while most gard eners see among their vines only i fruitage with blistered cheek turned to the sun. t frm!

Our apportionment was some what less this time due to the con troversy between the Omaha school district and the state su; erintend ent, Charles W. Taylor. Following an opinion of Attor ney General Wright, the Omaha school district maintained that the liquor tax should be distributed to the counties where they were ac crued. The state superintendent maintained that it should be ap portioned in the usual manner. On June 19, 1936, action on the case of the school district of Omaha vs. Taylor, the supreme court up held Mr. Taylor’s stand and the tax will be apportioned in the usual manner. * ’*•'*! The opinion was not handed down soon enough to allow the money to be apportioned in July, since the school district of Omaha will be given forty days to file a motion for a new hearing. If no further action is filed, the money will be added to the January apportion ment. There is a sum of $140,000 in liquor taxes which will be ap portioned with the January ap portionment. Clarence J. McClurg, County Superintendent. THE BUSY HOUR CLUB The Busy Hour Club met at the home of Mrs. Lett Jqjhnson on Wednesday, July 29. All members were present, including one visitor. Miss Ruth Bellard. The time was spent with contest games and in piecing quilt blocks for the hostess. All those whose birthdays had passed received a very pretty and useful gift at this meeting as we just voted last month for each to l have a mysterious sister for the rest of the year. After the business and games a very delicious lunch of perfection salad, butter horns and coffee was served by the hostess. Our next meeting will be on August 27 at the home of Mrs. Zillah Miller. Miss Lillian Peter, of Chambers, spent the week end with her cousin. Matilda Peter.
