THE NEBRASKA SCENE (Continued from page 2.) other of his plans is an income tax to catch the man who has invested ^ in stocks and bonds. Governor Cochran, who has, ap parently, embarked on a third term campaign, vigorously assailed the tax-exemption scheme several months ago. Among progressive democrats, the contest between Bryan and Cochran is not ap proved, and many of them think that such a trial of strength is in the making. Members of the Coch ran official family are such out standing Bryan supporters as J. R. Farris, W. H. Smith, and many others. Lost to the Cochran move ment are Cecil Matthews, Ed Luik art, Irl Tolen, and many influential democrats in various parts of the state. Progressives fear a division of strength, which might enable the Burke faction to spring a can didate giving them the nomination. Among the Cochran supporters there seems to be an organized effort to induce Bryan to seek the congressional nomination in the First district. Terry Carpenter, several well informed democratic leaders assert, has entered into a sort of truce with the Cochran forces, whole Mayor Butler of Oma ha has announced that he will not oppose Cochran for the nomination. Friends of J. N. Norton think thut he will seek another term in the unicameral legislature. In the republican camp, two more possible candidates have been sug gested. Hugh Butler, who has devoted two years to intensive party organ ization, has been urged to soak the republican gubernatorial nomina tion. His boosters are western Nebraska newspapers, among them the Keith County News. Prank A. Anderson of Holdregc is the other possibility. Dwight GrLwold and Kennetjh Wherry are not regarded as candidates by re publican politicians from out state. Petitions are in circulation in Saunders and Sarpy counties for Harry Parmenter, while Hugh Brown of Kearney, Bob Armstrong of Auburn, and Charles J, Watner of Waverly have been discussed as potential candidates. The* largest of seven Nebraska WPA projects which have received the approval of President Roosevelt is one of statewide extent which will give work to needy profession al, educational, and clerical work ers in supervising and co-ordinat ing recreational activities of the state, with headquarters at Lin coln. Other projects include: $68, 070 for roud improvement in Platte county; $19,352 for a Lancaster county canning project; $8,205 for Lancaster ocunty sewing project; 97 ,008 for sewing projects at Alma, Orleans and Republican City in Harlan county; $5,402 for a Keith county sewing project at Ogallala; and $5,270 for street improvements at Belden. That dairy revenue in Nebraska will be increased by a million dol lars a year by the new* cream grad ing law is the opinion of A. L. Haecker, chef of the state dairy in spection bureau. Nebraska butter production amounts now to about 30 million dollars a year. Some 3,200 cream operators over the state are buying cream on a grade basis, paying one cent more for first grade than for second. Farm ers getting second-grade prices will naturally try to improve the qual ity of their cream, and this will mean better butter and better prices. State Sheriff William Flake re luctantly decided last week that the only thing he could do was to turn loose two suspicious characters ar rested at Alliance and identified by fingerprints as Leroy Haas, 26, and Clyde Barney, 23, fugitives from the Ohio state reformatory at Mansfield since October 10. Haas was serving a sentence of from one to twenty years for automobile theft, and Barney was serving a ten to twenty-five year sentence for armed robbery. Ohio authorities refused to come after the men, “due to finances.” Clayton Watkins, state forester, and W. H. Brokaw, extension di rector of agriculture, attended the wheat conference held in Wichita at the call of Governor Walter Huxman of Kansas. A wheat pro gram embracing many features of the corn-loan plan was advocated by Brokaw. Officers of the Nebraska State Safety council have been reelected as follows: John Aldrich, Lincoln, president; Yale Holland, Omaha, vice president; Arthur Thomas, Norfolk, vice president; Mrs. Car rie B. Hevnor, Franklin, secretary; and Edward A. Becker, Lincoln, treasurer. At a recent meeting of the executive committee held at the state capitol plans were made for making an efficient statewide organization. A hoard of directors of fourteen members is to be se lected from the six districts into which the state has been divided, two from each district and two at large. An advisory committee of 35 is to be chosen to cooperate with a safety chairman in each county. A sub-committee to function be tween the regular meetings of the executive committee is composed of President John Aldrich, Harry S. Byre of Omaha, and Charles Smrha state insurance director. Judge John L. Polk has signed a decree in the district court approv ing the final and supplemental re ports of Fred E. Mockett, liquidat ing agent, in the case of the State against the National Old Line Life Insurance company. The receiver is ordered to prorate $8,1)25 among the general creditors, whose claims aggregate $17,080.01), after pay ing in full the prior claim of Lydia Hermann for $82.80. A Nebraska committee has been appointed by State Superintendent 0. W. Taylor to study the eondtions and needs of adult education in the state and to cooperate with the na tional organization in the interest of a broad program in this field. The members are: Charles F. Die nst, deputy state superintendent, chairman; Mrs. Gladys Bradley, state WPA director of education; C. A. Fumer, state vocational ed ucation director; A. A. Reed, ex tension director at the University of Nebraska; C. A. Bowers, secre tary of the Nebraska Teacher’s association; and Edith Martin, state adult immigration education director. Petitions are being circulated in Omaha to place on the ballot at the next election a proposal to tax chain stores, and it is said that an efifort will be made to get at least 80,000 signatures. The proposed measure would tax all stores 50 cents a year; two stores owned by the same firm $.1 each; and the tax would gradually go up to $550 tax each for 20 or more stores owned by the same firm. The money would go to the school fund. The petitions are being placed in the hands of independent mer chants for circulation. In spite of cold weather, many Loup valley farmers and business men were on the spot last week to help celebrate the completion of the Hardenbrook dam and to see the first water flow into the ditches of the North Loup River I’ower and Irrigation project, the cost of which was $1,667,000. James E. Lawrence editor of the Lincoln Star, opened the headgates and spoke briefly at the dedication ceremonies. Other speakers were K. Sewell Wingfield, PWA official for Nebraska, Roy Hudson, district president, E. H. Lane of the Western Asphalt Pav ing company, and E. 11. Dunmire, engineer-manager of the project. An evening banquet under the auspices of the Ord Rotary club closed the celebration. Plans for making use of a state federal game fund which will amount to $04,000 were considered last week by the state game, for estation and parks commission. The federal money, which amounts to about $70,000, is the tax col lected by the government on the sale of ainunition and firearms. One-fourth of this must be matched by the state. The money can be used only for the restoration of wild life, but any property acquired under the act becomes the property of the state. Secretary Frank O'Connell said that he hoped that some of the money might be used to cooperate with farmers inter ested in preventing soil erosion by planting shrubs in gullies that will furnish food and protection for birds, as well as preventing soil erosion. He hopes also to create protected areas for prairie chick ens, grouse, and pheasants, as well as for migratory birds and upland birds and animals. Some of the money may be used to support and develop the new state game farm at Norfolk. It used to be that a liberal was a fellow who didn’s believe in cen tralizing all control at Washington but the New Deal liberal is a fel low who believes in just being liberal with the taxpayers’ money. Huskers Cop Their Eighth Big Six Title The Nebraska Huskers closed the foot ball season of 1937 last Saturday with a game against Kansas State at Manhattan, Kan sas, and emerged victorious with a score of 3 to 0, the result of a field goal, the first one tried by Nebraska this season. The vic tory gave Nebraska the Bix Six title for the eighth time out of ten seasons since the formation of the conference. The game Saturday was played in a snow storm and fumbles on both sides were many. Three fumbles prevented Nebraska, on three different occasions from scor ing touchdowns. A wet ball and cold fingers do to tend to faultless football playing. BRIEFLY STATED New Dresses for the Holiday Season at Helen Simar’s Apparel Shop.

O’NEILL, NEBRASKA A Wise Man Ben Franklin wrote "Poor Richard's Almanac" when he was twenty-six. He preached thrift, economy, quality.
