LOWER FARM PRICES
(Continued From Page Eight)
over the 1923-1925 September
average.
Comparing September prices
serves to illustrate the present low
return to farmers from the pro
ducts they sell. September prices
of wheat, oats, cotton and wool
arc the lowest for the correspond
ing month since 1932; of corn, the
lowest since 1933; of sheep and
hogs, the lowest since 1934; and of
milk and potatoes, since 1935.
It must be remembered too that
prices are now figured in sixty cent
rather than 100 cent dollars which
makes the present price, in gold
values, the lowest of modern record.
Crop curtailment has resulted in
the loss of much of our foreign
market. The Department of Com
merce says it hopes to make this
up by increasing the domestic
market. But how can we do this
by lowering the tariff on foreign
made goods and thus decreasing
the power of the American workers

THE NEBRASKA
SCENE
By the Lowell Service
Lincoln, Nebraska—Behind the
scenes out in the state, a most
peculiar rebellion seems to be tak
ing place.
Members of the unicameral legis
lature, apparently suspicious of the
metropolitan organs of news dis
semination, held informal caucuses
here and there. According to re
ports coming from the state house,
the set-up for the next legislature
is cut to pattern and kiln dried.
There will be no influential urban
ites in the positions of power, con
trolling taxation and old age pen
sions.
“A feeling prevails,” said a new
termer from mid state, “that the |
other forty-seven states of the |
union may have discovered some
meritorious angles of the taxation
question.” It is believed that an
agreement has been reached on the
speakership.
Dr, Claire E. Owens, defeated
by John E. Mekota in the Twenty
third, takes a fall out of the legis
lative council. After criticizing
the part played by the political
science department of the state
university in outlining the unicam
eral setup in 11)36, she declares:
“During the first session, it had
the forty-three membership whittl
ed down to a ‘legislative commit
tee' of fifteen, which has spent a
lot of time and a lot of the tax
payers money in taking a short
course in political science and
adopting reports from the investi
gations made by Dr. Shumate.
“Now that the lessons are over,
controversy arose as to whether or
not these reports should be tossed
upon the desks, or be recommend
ed as legislation to the incoming
legislature, which was supposedly
elected by the people, for the
people. Finally, it was decided to
recommend certain measures, thus
accounting for their time a‘nd ex
penditures."
Two contests must be decided at
the next session of the legislature.
Harry Foster will challenge the
.eating of John Adams, jr., in the
Fifth district. William Worthing
will try to upset Sam Klaver’s lead
of 31 votes in the Sixth. Two years
ago, Worthing won from Klaver
by a narrow margin. At the last
election it was Klaver’s turn.
Some of the new legislators will
attract attention from the start.
Frank Sorrell of Syracuse, who de
feated Bob Armstrong by a decisive
mapority, is regarded as a cham
pion of farm and livestock inter
ests. M. E. Westley is another man

who may surprise the legislators.
J. Lyndon Thornton, of Fairbury
is expected to prove an able mem
ber. Joe Reavis, John Mekota,
Richard Johnson, J. B. Rossiter,
Jay Hastings, Tom Lambert, and
A. C. Van Diest are all men who
are capable of excellent legislative
work.
The tabulation of the official vote
by the state canvassing board
brought no serious errors to light.
Election certificates were immedi
ately mailed as soon as the board
had held a perfunctory meeting
Novmeber 28.
The total vote was 505,471, which 1
is 109,595 short of the 1936 total j
of 617,066, the top record for Ne
braska. The three candidates for
governor polled 496,943, as 10,528
persons failed to vote for a candi- ^
date for this office.
George Heinke defeated Henry
Luckey by a pluarality of 349 votes, j
I. W. Jacoby urges a contest when
Congress convenes. Congressman
Luckey has gone to California.
Cochran led Warner by 16,789
votes. Cochran got 218,787; Warn
er, 201,898; Bryan, 76,258. Warn
er carried fifty counties; Cochran,
43. Walter R. Johnson, republi
can candidate for attorney general,
led all partisan candidates by
scoring a total of 250,121. Duane
Swanson, republican candidate for
the railway commission, came next
with 249,556. Charles W. Taylor,
non-partisan candidate for state
superintendent, got the high vote
of 281,013.
In naming Harvey Johnson,
brilliant Omaha attorney, to the
Supreme bench to succeed Judge
Day, Governor Cochran has added
to the conservative sentiment of
the high tribunal. The election of
Robert Simmons as chief justice
was a victory for the conservatives.
Justice Paine is perhaps the only
outstanding liberal.
Friends of Senator Burke and
workers for Governor Cochran took
a hand in the Supreme judge con
test in the last days of the cam
paign. Both groups had 1940 in
mind. By electing Mr. Simmons,
they thought that he would be
shelved for the senatorial race,
when both Burke and Cochran will
be contenders.
