To Deport the Criminal Alien
The House, this week, passed a
bill to deport a lot of criminal
aliens. It took many hours to pass
the bill because of heated debate.
The House split into three factions.
One is composed of pure restric
tionists and would deport all aliens
who came here illegally and stop
all imigration. The second, which
would deport only criminal aliens
and the third, which would use
humane tactics and allow all aliens
who are here now to take out cit
izenship papers.
The debate showed that nobody
really knows how many aliens are
in the United States today. The
guess is around three million. It
is estimated that 200,000 are here
illegally. About 30,000 nre alleged
to be criminals. The debate also
disclosed that all of us were origin
ally aliens and the Indian is the
only true American. Thousands
of aliens who are here illegally are
on relief—being fed with American
taxpayers’ money. Some of them
hold fat government jobs.
The bill as passed became a sort
of compromise nnd the real crim
inal alien will eventually have to
go back home.
But about twenty-eight hundred
aliens who came here illegally and
who are recorded ns “hardship"
cases will be given an opportunity
to stay. Among these are aliens
who have been here ten or twenty
years, aliens who murried American
women and who have children who
have been born here. To send
these alien husbands back home
would separate families and create
a great hardship. Some of these
own their own homes, pay taxes,
hire many employees and contrib
ute to the upkeep of their local
communities. In some manner they
have never been naturalized and in
some way came here illegally years
ago. The House felt that all of
These good citizens should remain
here.
So the compromise bill was
passed and in spite of a vigorous
effort on the part of tho restric
tionists, many of these aliens who
have already been notified thnt
they are subject to deportation will
remain united with their families
and continue to live in America.
But for the criminal alien the bill
is a signal that they will have to
get out of America^ The shores of
America are so,.,expansive that
thousands of aliens are coming
here each year illegally. A regular
racket in Europe and the Orient
has netted millions from aliens who
go to most any end to come to tho
United States. It is impossible
without the borders being barricad
ed to keep them out. So the im
migration officials tell members
that their job is the hardest.
“Nuisance" Taxes Continued
The nuisance taxes will be con
tinued for another two year period
in order to help Uncle Sain balance
the budget. But these taxes will
raise only about 500 million dollars.
Gasoline, lubricating oil, matches,
soap, chewing gum, coke and lum
ber and n lot of other things will be
taxed to make up this amount.
Automobiles and gasoline will raise
most of the money. A lot of taxes
will be hidden. The taxpayer will
feel it when he buys gasoline, or
sends a telephone or telegraphic
message, when he transfers bonds,
etc. The three cent stamp will con.
tinue on letters. But the amount
will be a drop in the bucket so far
as balancing the budget is con
cerned.
The tax is in reality a sales tax;
a tax paid by the consumer. They
don’t call it a sales tax, but nick
name it a “nusiance” tax. The
leaders here promise that it will be
repealed in two years but that it is
necessary now. The Treasury de
partment guessed wrong on its
estimated receipts. They promise
a real tax bill for the House to
consume next session. No hearings
were held on the bill and so thore
were a lot of bitter fights about it
on the floor.
Farm members voted against it
because they saw where the amount
could be lowered by cutting just a
few items of useless expenditures,
such as giving California three
million dollars to buy additional
ground for Yosemite Park which
already has 7,500 acres. They saw
millions of useless money eaten up
by the Army and Navy which was
and is not being used for national
defense. They learned that the
money will in no way balance the
budget because our national debt
is now officially at thirty-five and
a half billion dollars and we have a
contingent debt of another five and
a half billion.
It was officially agreed that the
taxpayers hired men are spending
eight dollars for every four and a
half dollars received. So the only
way outside of taxing people more
to balance the budget is to make
the spending equal the receipts.
And many members who have been
fighting against useless spending
see many loopholes which should
be plugged before the taxpayer
is asked for more money. That he
will be asked for more is officially
announced by the Ways and Means
Committee leaders who say the big
tax bill is coming during the next
session.

Travel the nation over and you will find no better beer than
Storz, made right here in Nebraska. Most Nebraskans take
neighborly pride in buying Storz, instead of eastern beers.
Storz is a big factor in Nebraska prosperity. Hundreds of
jobs all over the state depend on the brewing and distribution
of Storz Beer. Those pay checks do not go east—they are spent
in Nebraska with Nebraska merchants.
Storz makes it a point to buy all possible supplies from
Nebraskans. Storz buys grain from Nebraska farmers, paying
premium prices to get top quality. Storz buys insurance from
Nebraska companies, printing from Nebraska printers, beer
cases and cartons from Nebraska manufacturers. Everywhere
Storz is adding to Nebraska prosperity.
Storz is one of Nebraska’s largest tax-payers, paying over
$800,000 to city, county, state and federal governments in 1936.
Storz Brewing Co. is owned by Nebraskans living in Nebraska.
Even its dividends are spent in Nebraska.
- ' Top all that with the fact that Storz makes superb beer —
four times World’s Champion — and you have every good reason
to ask for Storz when you order beer. Help build Nebraska
instead of the east.
