If the commodity work should cease dur ing the biennium, any residue is to go into the general fund. Reduc tion of administrative expense is to be secured by reducing staff and salaries and by moving the com modity work into the state capital from a downtown office. According to the governor’s estimates the an nual receipts for state assistance will be about as follows: $1,500,000 from liquor taxes; $1,050,000 from the gasoline tax, and $1,000,000 from the head tax. The tendency of Governor Coch ran to bring about the creation of bureaus, boards and commissions has been criticized by progressives thruout the state. His newly cre ated planning board is being con demned in many quarters as a most expensive buck-passing body. Coch ram placed an engineer on the board of control to do planning and pro mote efficiency. The result was nix plus nil. No one knows just how many different boards and tax-eat ing agencies have been created un der the Cochran administration. Lieutenant Governor Walter H. Jurgensen is a defendant in a suit for embezzelment. He appeared voluntarily before Judge Polk of the Lincoln municipal court and pleaded not guilty of the charge of embezzling $916 from Chester C. Kaddli of Potter, Ncbr. April 23 has been set as the date of the pre liminary hearing, and Jurgensen was released on a bond of $2,000 signed by William Whalen and James Wr. Bachman. Mr. Jurgensen and Jules H. Johnson are accused by Kaderli of unlawfully converting to their own use, without his con sent, on Sept. 11, 1934, building and loan stock valued at $916. Nebraska county clerks last week received a letter from State Treas urer W’alter Jensen, a* a member of the state board of educational lands and funds, and also as cus todian of its investments, directing that all levies must include for paying the interest oh Outstanding bonds of the county Or its munici palities, and also to provide for a sinking fund for their retirement, or for retiring bonds that may ma ture thi6 year. Since' the county clerk is ex officio secretary of the county board of equalization, he fixes the levies for the county. _ Archeologists from ten midwes tern states were present at a meet ing held last week in Iowa City. Among them was A. T. Hill, mu seum director for the Nebraska State Historical society. State Tax Commissioner Smith attended a meeting of assessors from ten northeastern Nebraska counties held at Dakota City Wed nesday. On Friday he attended a similar meeting at Tecumseh. Attorney General Hunter has been urged to file disbarment pro ceedings against a group of Lincoln attorneys, accused of pressing too closely in the rear of ambulances speeding to the scene of accidents. Thruout the state there is opposi tion to the suggestion of Governor Cochran that the debenture bonds issued by the state fair board to build a grandstand be unloaded on the school children of the state in the form of any investment for the permanent school funds. This is the time of year when the managers of the big league base ball teams seem to have a great deal of sign-us trouble. Fear “Sit Down Strikes" Speaking of “sit down strikes" a man who went thru the Russian revolution has sent this statement to each memLer of Congress: “The American people d<> not yet realize that they are in the first stage of revolution. Yet all exper ience shows that the seizure of private property by lawless bands before whom the government stands impotent is the first major battle in the destruction of any government." The statement was discussed with great interest among members just before they were asked to act on a resolution to outlaw sit-down strikes. Lincoln The Inventor Many arguments regarding Am erican history can be settled at a minutes notice, thru these experts who are employed in the Congress ional Library. Two arguments were settled in this way recently, when the question of Fulton, the steamship inventor, was brought up. It developed that very few people know that Abraham Lincoln, the great emancipator, was an in ventor. It was learned at the Con gressional Library that in 1849 Lincoln invented a paddle wheel for the purpose of removing ships from sandbars. This invention was con ducive to navigation in the days of Lincoln, and Abraham Lincoln se cured a patent on that paddlewheel. Typewriter Makes American Women Independent Mark Twain, the author, was the first person to use a typewriting machine. The inventor of the type writer was Christopher Latham Sholes, who invented the machine sixty-five years ago, and it was this machine which was turned over to Mark Twain. In Washington there are 50 to 00 per cent more women than men. At 4:30 every afternoon thousands of these women pour from gigantic office buildings and 90 per cent of these women make their living as stenographers and typists, which indicates that the machine that Christopher Latham Sholes invent ed and which was first used by Mark Twain, has made American women independent as far as earn ing a livelihood is concerned. Rose War 1 The tourist season is on in full force in Washington. The mag nolias, cherry blossoms and other flowers are out in full bloom. Florists have been having a "rose war" during the past week. Prices on one day went down to five cents a dozen for roses in this price war. As a result nearly everybody was buying cut flowers. To Vacation In Klkhorn Valley Congressman Lamberston of Kansas whose district borders Falls City, tells his colleagues that his next vacation may be spent in the Elkhorn valley. The Kansas Con gressman has relatives living at Neligh and Oakdale, among them being Clifford Kay of Neligh. Likes Nebraska Best * Herbert Blank of Norfolk, called J at the Congressional office to read | the home town newspapers. He is | working in one of the departments and has been here nine months and j doesn’t like Washington. Like many j other Nebraska young men he is j loyal enough to Nebraska to admit he is lonesome for his home town. 1 Blank is related to John Blank of Norfolk, who was the father of the lato “Buddy” Blank, mascot of the Norfolk state league baseball team. Washington Is Cocktail Crazy This beautiful city is cocktail crazy. Society people are vying with each other as to how potent and how many different cocktails they can serve their guests at the daily cocktail hour. American gov ernment manufactured rum from the Virgin Islands figures in a lot of these new fangled headache mak ers. Gaily dressed old men and old women, young men and young wo men, swarm into hotels at 5 o clock and “crash” the “teas” of diplomats and prominent people to imbibe, their daily portions of potent liquid. The society writers of the daily newspapers here encourage a lot of this drinking as is shown in the following item which appeared on the society page of a great Wash ington daily describing one of many afternoon gatherings: • “Marvelous food with Boston baked beans cooked in sherry and champagne, cocktails with potent punch and whiskey and soda.” A lot of these society maddened people say they "have to have the potent pick-me-up drinks” at 5 o’clock to stimulate them so they can stand the strain of the evening and night dinners and entertain ments. Of course, everybody doesn’t do this in Washington. A lot of people, still walk to get exercise before th** eevning supper. A lot of them play baseball, golf and work up a natural appetite for sup per in the normal way. But, gen erally, society people in Washing ton have to fall in line with the Jonses and there’s something about the strong drinks wihch they claim “makes for better fellowship and make people talk to each other.” Some folks here admit that a lot of political differences are settled at some of these gatherings. Some times strong drink has been the lobbyist’s best friend. Congress .Marks Time While the Supreme Court Issue Is Debated Never before has there been so much interest shown m the activ ities of the various government agencies as today. The crowds of visitors to the nation’s capitol are augmenting their sightseeing to historical places by making these regular tourist trips short in order to visit the Senate and House gal eries and the Supreme Court. Long lines of visitors wait daily in the corridors to get their few minutes time in the galleries to listen to I debates on momentous questions. Members of the Senate and the House seem to suddenly realize that the rest of the population is taking a real interest on what is going on here. Newspapermen daily whisper to each other about some “break” to which they were “tipped off” on great national and international problems. Committees which used to sit in rooms almost vacant of visitors, make daily requests for bigger rooms to accomodate visit ors and witnesses. This is true also of the minor committees. While the Judiciary Committee room is crowded daily on the Senate side, the overflow scatters to the rooms where other committees are holding forth. All of this unusual interest in the | government’s business started when ; the surprise bill came from the White House to change the Supreme I Court. This problem holds the center of the stage. The second in the .limelight is the debate on the sit-down strikes which some mem bers feel are so serious that the government will have to take a hand. t Many members of the House ac knowledge to each other that there has been no real legislation passed so far. They admit that “they have the feeling that they are just marking time and holding their breath for something to happen.” All of the bills passed so far are the regular bills to appropriate money to keep the various branches of government running. No bill that has not had the OK from the administration office has been giv en much consideration. All of this leads many memebrs to believe that the “wait” is for the supreme court bill; the reorganization bill and the relief bill. The date of ad journment of Congress apparently rlepends on how fast these admin istration bills are given to mem bers to vote on. Court Proposal Has Majority in the House. Which is Reason for Senate Fight Many questions have come to the Congressional office regarding the Supreme Court Bill. Most of these questions ask when and if the House will ever get the bill. The answer to that is that the House Committee has the bill but has done nothing about it and probably will do nothing about it until the Senate committee which is holding Men grow rich by the slow accumulation of money, and poor by its quick dissipation.

If the bill is reported out by the Sen ate committee, the House judiciary committee will undoubtedly hold brief hearings. Strong pressure from the states is being brought on members on both sides of the capitol on this measure. While the Senate com mittee is holding hearings, the measure is being tried in the Court of Public opinion. Members on both sides give daily interviews to newspapers and magazines and give frequent talks over the radio on this important subject. Questions are asked if the meas uie would pass the House. In an swer to ihat, it can be said that one member who has taken a poll of the House states that up to date 184 members have signif.ed that they would vote against it. If this poll is complete it would indicate that the majority of the House would vote for the President’s bill. That is partly the reason so much of the fight is centered on the Sen ate side today. It all depends on what the Senate does. If the Sen ate passes the bill, providing the committee reports it out—the leg islation would also pass the lower House. PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.

Yarnall and Frank Reece gave words of wel come to the new members of the 'hurch. All enjoyed the singing of old time songs and southern mel odies. We are asking all the members who have united with this churcty since we came to O’Neill to be pre sent, together with all others, Sun day, May 1, for a group picture. A lot of fellows have tried to borrow their way to prosperity and have gone broke—but the govern ment hasn’t finished its experiment yet. When the next campaign roll^f around can’t you visualize some of the demagogic politicians promis ing the sit-down strikers arm chairs and meerchaum pipes ? A hen in Mobile is said to have cackled for twenty-four hours with out stopping. Maybe she was con. ducting a filibuster. ____________________ !* Too often when some kind friend lets you “in on the ground floor” you end up in the ash can in the back yard. 1 _________________________ « When we see some of the changes that are proposed for the govern ment nowadays we feel certain that William J.
