s^dlfouglas county, and one by
which the county manager system
of government might lie P act<
* operation n Douglas county. 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will be repealed.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.

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.

School Notes
Notices of the July state ap
portionment have just been sent
out. 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.
