Dickson Has A Splendid
Record As District Judge
At the coming election a Judge
of this Judicial District is to be
elected. This is a most important
office. It would seem unnecessary
to call attention to the fact that
Judge Robert R. Dickson is a can
didate for re-election and make
mention of his qualifications and
his record on the bench. His ser
vices on the bench were so satis
factory to the voters that he had
no opposition in the Primary, evid
ence of the people’s approval of his
judicial administration.
He is a progressive and enter
prising citizen and has contributed
of his time and means to every
worthy object and enterprise in his
community and has responded to
the call of the citizens of the dis
trict on many public occasions and
has addressed every High School in
the district. He has accomplished
much with juvenile offenders and
in many cases the once erring boy
ia now leuding an examplary life,
proving what can he done when the
right means are employed.
In years past and present, many
land owners by reason of the de
pression, poor crops and low prices
were unable to pay tuxes, mort
gages or interest, resulting in the
bringing of many foreclosures. In
order that the land owner might
save his farm and home, confirma
r tions of sales were continued and
moratoriums granted. When crops
[ failed, pastures burned up and
j meadows failed to produce, Judge
■y Dickson adjusted the matter of
i rent of those holding their lands
f under moratoriums by relieving
them in many instances from pay
ments of all rent or by reducing it
in keeping with conditions that de
veloped during the crop seasons.
This course of procedure on the
i Judge’s part brought about many
• settlements and adjustments where
by the land owner was able to save
his home. Judge Dickson has never
! confirmed a foreclosure sale or de
nied a moratorium without giving
the land owner every opportunity
to save his home.
.Judge Dickson has refused to I
call juries when in his judgment
the business was not of sufficient
importance to justify the calling of
a jury for the term, either trying
th# cases himself without a jury or
continuing them until there was
sufficient business to justify the ex
pense of a jury. Every jury term
of Court held without a jury saves
the county at least $250.00. Since
he has been upon the bench, juries
have been excused in Boyd county
for 12 terms of court; in Brown
county for 17 terms of court; in
Holt county for 11 terms of court;
in Rock county for 22 terms, and
Keya Paha county for 27 terms of
court. This was a saving to the
counties of the district of about
$20,000.00. These figures can be
verified by an examination of the
records of the Clerks of the Dis
trict Court of the several counties.
More than 12,000 cases, criminal
and civil, not including many Juv
enile cases, have been disposed of
by Judge Dickson. Since he has
been upon the bench 276 cases have
been appealed to the Supreme
Court, which is a comparatively
small number when we consider
the many important criminal and
civil cases disposed of in the dis
trict. There were appealed from
Holt county 149 cases, with 17 re-|
versals; from Boyd county 60 cases,
with 12 reversals; from Brown
county 23 cases, with 4 reversals;
from Uock county 26 cases, with
2 reversals, and from Keya I’aha
county 18 cases, with 4 reversals,
making only 39 reversals since
Judge Dickson has been upon the
bench, and only two reversals in
the last four years. There are
pending and undecided in the Su
preme Court five cases. This record
is not excelled by any judge in Ne
braska and is due to the careful
and conscientious consideration of
the law and facts in each case and
accounts for the small number of
cases appealed to the Supreme
Court and the very, very few re
versals. Judge Dickson has been
called upon by the Supreme Court
to sit as an Associate Justice and
his opinions reflect his ability as a
Mullen Now For Norris
Arthur F. Mullen is back in Ne
braska and in a radio address the
forepart of the week endorsed the
candidacy of George W. Norris for
the United States senate. Arthur
has always been a fighting demo
crat and has always been a strong
supporter of democratic candid
ates, whether they were friendly to
him or not. But this year he kicks
Terry Carpenter, the regular dem
ocratic nominee for the state out
of the way and comes out for a
man whom he has opposed politic
ally for the past thirty years. My,
what a change has come over the
political eyesight of this Holt
county boy, who has gone places
and done things. Some of you may
wonder what caused this great
change in Arthur. He did not do it
voluntarily, it was the command
of the “big chief” in the white
house. He not only picks the can
didates for the people, but tries
to cram them down the throats of
the electorate. If this is not dic
tatorship, what is it?
THE NEBRASKA
SCENE
by James R. Lowell
Within less than three weeks Ne
braska voters will have awarded
to 4d men und women the distinc
tion of being members of our first
unicameral legislature, and polit
ical observers from such far away
states as Oregon and New York al
ready are getting their pens and
typewriters limbered up.
No one is quite certain how the
legislative experiment will turn
out, but the suposition is that noth
ing of the bicameral system will
: be revi\
: However, there are some observ
s j ers who declare that politics will
: continue to dog the legislature de.
i spite the intended nonpartisan set
I up.
' The lieutenant governor is the
• presiding officer of the one-house
i body. The body will elect a speak
, er. As the members have been
i elected on a nonpartisan ballot,
there will be no party caucuses
such as were wont to enliven the
legislative sessions of yesteryear.
Friends of the new system say
j that political leaders will be im
i potent; that gag rule can no long
er exist; the governor, the state
officers, and the supreme court
judges will be without authority so
far as the legislature is concerned.
It will be virtually the board of
directors of a gigantic corporation.
Business problems, not political
I questions, will be solved.
An executive secretary is to oe
chosen after a speaker is elected.
The speaker presides in the ab
sence of the lieutenant governor, or
while he is discharging the duties
of governor. There will be a read
ing clerk, a record clerk, two pages,
two engrossing and enrolling clerks
and five stenographers.
There will be no chaplain, no
sergeant at arms and no postmast
er. The civil service mail carrier
on duty at the state house postal
station distributes the mail. The
state sheriff furnishes a deputy to
serve papers, and this official also
is called in case of disorder.
More than 100 supernumeraries
and employes have been cut off the
legislative payroll by the new sys
tem.
When the unicameral legislature
is in session there will be no com
mittees. The usual committees are
to be named during the ad interim
periods. So when the legislature
is called to order, temporary and
permanent organization occupy but
a few minutes.
After the canvass of the vote
for the constitutional state officers,
the new legislature is expected to
plunge at once into routine busi
ness. The judiciary committee,
composed of a representative of
each business vocation, industry
and profession in the state, makes
its report.
This is really a shifting commit
tee, reporting at the beginning of
the session instead of at the close.
Contacting this committee are the
state officers, county (officials, may
ors, and the reporter of the su
preme court. The reviser of the
statutes works, with the judiciary
during the time when the legisla
ture Is not in session. He is on.
duty when the legislature convenes.
In one report the judiciary com
mittee is to present all the bills
usually classified as ‘‘chicken feed”
legislation. This class of bills in
clude the great mass of measures
that clog the legislative hoppers.
Slight statutory changes, minor
amendments, and the repeal of ob
solete statutes are taken care of
by the report of this committee.
All other committtees report on the
important bills introduced by the
members. These will be prepared
in advance, and many the proposed
measures are being discussed dur
ing the present campaign.
Bills may be introduced at any
time thruout the session. Each
I member has a file containing all
the bills that will have been pre
sented to the legislature. This
record is kept up thru the years,
and when a legislator is defeated
for re-election, the secretary pro
vides his successor with a complete
file.
The lobby has been outlawed and
abolished thru the newr system, its
sponsors say. All information of
value is to be secured from official
sources, from constituents, and
from officers of state. The idea
is to avoid the obsolete arguments
foisted on new members by lobby
ists.

have absolute confidence in his
judicial integrity.
Much has been done by the Judge
to bring about respect for law and
constituted authority and the due
administration of justice in, our
courts. Every man who believes in
a fair and impartial trial by a court
and jury owes Judge Dickson his
loyal support to the end that the

partial trial may be had.
In these times and conditions we
are very fortunate to have on the
bench a judge with the ability and
experience of Judge Dickson. His
re-election assures a continuation
of the ducadministration of justice,
and that without fear or favor. He
has devoted the best years of his
life to the service of the district,
and if you feel that his years of
faithful service entitle him to re
election, vote for him.

of the state treasurer, show the tax income of the state
government.)

NOTE: The above figures do not include one penny of
federal money. This is money which came out of the
pockets of the people of Nebraska.
WHO SAYS COCHRAN HAS NOT CREATED
NEW TAXES?
1— How about the one-cent additional gas tax?
2— How about the $2,000,000 in liquor taxes?
3— How about the $2 head tax on every person
under fifty years of age?
If thecost of our government had been held down,
the income from liquor taxes would have brought
about a real reduction in the property tax levy.

IN THEIR USE OF TELEPHONE SERVICE
• The average American makes
nine times as many telephone
calls as the average European.
In the United States, you can
get more and better service for
your money than anywhere else
in the world. Under such con
ditions, it is natural that Amer
icans should use telephone ser
vice more than do the people
of other countries.
Your telephone dollar has
been buying more and more
each year. It buys swifter, more
accurate and more dependable
local service; it buys out-of
town service amazingly faster,
clearer and more sure at sub
stantially lower cost; it buys
service which reaches across
oceans nnd covers almost the
whole world.
For more than half a century,
the Bell System has worked
constantly to improve and ex
tend telephone service and to
keep down its cost to telephone
users. In this w ay, it has helped
to give the United States world
leadership in telephone serv ice.
