Macgoawn, of Gordon, Nebraska, was in O’Neill on Monday on business connected with the National Consumers Tax Commis sion, of which she is the state di rector. The N. C. T. C. is a national organization, non-partisan and non-profit in character, and is sponsored by business men thru the United States in an attempt to show the ordinary citizen how much he pays to the government in state, national, local and the so-called hidden taxes. The organization is appealing mainly to the women of the country, as they are the recog nized purchasers of eighty-five per cent of the nation’s commodities, but also encourages and invites the interest of the men. This office acknowledges re ceipt of a remittance from Mrs. G. W. Cherry, of Denver, Colo., extending her subscription to this household necessity for another year. Mrs. Cherry, formerly Miss Mayme Welsh, has been a reader of The Frontier practically all her life. As a little girl in the settle ment north of town the paper was a welcome visitor at her home and during her married life she has been a constant reader of the paper. Her subscription falls due on the first of February and every Janu ary, during the past twenty-six years, we always receive a money order for another year’s subscript ion. The subscriber who is prompt in enewing i? a joy to every edi tor and Mrs. Cherx-y ranks high on our list of select leaders. Our wish is that she may live long to enjoy the weekly visits of the “old home town paper.” METHODIST CHURCH NOTES V. C. Wright, Pastor Sunday school 10:00 a. m., H. B. Burch, superintendent.

THE NEBRASKA SCENE By the Lowell Service (Continued from Page 4) commissioners appointive instead of elective. Miller, Hastings, and Nenbauer will lead the fight on married women holding public pay roll posi tions when their husbands are gainfully employed. Hastings is continuing his fight against legal soft snaps. There is a mass of proposed leg islation to simplify automobile and trucking legislation. The bien nial bills have appeared to outlaw nepotism. Sorrell is sniping at the gasoline transport act. The attack of party machines on the primary act is now in full swing. All the major changes sug gested are designed to bring back the old convention system. Propo sals to amend the primary act flourish in the committee rooms; languish on the floor. Devotees of the primary law pay little atten tion. They rely on the referendum if the changes are too drastic. Fully twenty legislators com bined their efforts to outline an old age pension law after Sam Klaver introduced his bill for a pension of $30 a month. The sentiment of the legislature is overwhelmingly for adequate old age assistance. Two bills for the control of mo tion pictures by the state have been introduced in the 1939 legislature by Senator E. M. Neubauer, of Crete. One bill would prohibit operation of theaters owned or operated in whole or in part by producers or distributors. The other measure would make it illegal for exhibitors to buy more film products than are “reasonably necessary,” the state railway com mission being the authority to determine the necessity. Lester L. Dunn, of Lincoln and John Adams, jr., of Omaha are the two legislators who introduced in the legislature last week a bill to credit Nebraska employers subject to the state unemployment com pensation law with the impounded excise taxes, amounting to $1,330, 835, which they paid on 1936 pay rolls. At that time, Nebraska had no unemployment insurance law. In case proper showing is made within 60 days after the bill be comes a law, the bill provides that the money shall be credited to in dividual employer’s reserve ac counts. Major William J. Atkinson, ot Kearney has been appointed by Ad jutant General Guy N. Henninger, commandant of the Nebraska na tional guard, to succeed Henninger himself as lieutenant colonel and executive officer of the One Hund red and Tenth quartermaster regi ment. “The object of the Barristers’ clqb interest is the fact that execu tors are not qualified to practice law, and the public will not be pro tected,” explained Bernard Grad wohl, president of the Lincoln Bar risters’ Club, in regard to the pro test made by that organization to the legislature against passage of LB 4, which provides that laymen may practice law in probate cases. Scottsbluff county wants its county number on the state auto mobile license plates changed from No. 21 to No. 3. It says that it is entitled to that rank because of its rapid growh in population, and that Scottsbluff is the fastest growing town in Nebraska. It is declared that the thing they ask won’t cost the state a red penny, and it is suggested that the legislature pass a law providing for the change in county numbers to be made first in 1940, and then changed every ten years, if necessary, .. The University of Nebraska is not included in the teachers’ retire rqent bill now before the Nebraska legislature, being sponsored by Lester L. Dunn, of Lincoln and eight other members, and backed by the Nebraska State Teachers’ Association. About $80,000 would be the total cost to the state, ac cording to the sponsors of the bill, Provision is made that retirement be compulsory at 65; and at 25, membership would be compulsory for all public school teachers, in cluding normal schools. Teachers would pay 5 per cent of their sal aries into a retirement fund, and this would be matched by contribu tions from the state. Up to $10, 000 would be appropriated during the present biennium. A second hearing January 31 will be held before the legislature takes action on the bill calling for repeal of the 1937 truck regular tory act. Many bitter criticisms of the act have been made, and the authors of the bill, Swan Carlson, Funk, and Jay Hastings, Oscelola, declare that the law has worked hardship on the farmers and forced hundreds of truckers out of busi ness. Dan Garber, of Red Cloud insisted that the truck law “told 6,000 independent truckers in the state to go out of business.” Paul Halpine, secretary of the Nebraska J Commercial Trucker’s Association,! is leading the fight against repeal, and he is backed by a number of like organizations. All admit, however, that amendments are needed. Dr. J. J. Hompes, of Lincoln was elected president of the executive council of the Nebraska Medical Association at its meeting in Lin coln last week to succeed Dr. Dex ter D. King, of York, and Dr. A. P. Overgaard, of Omaha was re-elect ed secretary. " The councillors voted to cooperate with the rural rehabilitation program of the farm security administration and ap proved the plan to provide medical service at low cost, the money to be obtained from government loans. The establishment of a legisla tive comptroller and an investment counsellor for the board of educa tional lands and funds is recom mended in the biennial report of former State Auditor William H. Pince. In the 1937 legislative ses sion a bill providing for a comp troller was defeated. Price insists that a counsellor is especially needed to handle the investment of approximately 14 million dollars in permanent school funds, and he suggests that some provision should be made by the legislature for reimbursing the fund with in vestment losses by the board amounting to about $43,824. Praise was given in the report to the uni form accounting law and the 1937 county budgeting law. There seems to be a possibility that the pari mutuels at the state fair will be continued for the next two years. Discussion in the legis lative appropriations committee brought forth no suggestions as to other ways of raising ^he money needed to carry on the fair. Perry Reed, secretary of the state fair board, when questioned by Chair man Brady of the appropriations committee, admitted that “with conditions as they are today, the pari muuel is the only thing that saved the fair.” Informal discussions in the legis tive public works committee, ac cording to Chairman R. M. Howard, of Flats, seem to show a leaning toward the following division of the five-cent state gasoline tax: One cent for assistance; 1% cents to Baby Chicks & Turkey Poults TRI-STATE PRODUCE CO.

A police merit system is propos ed by a group of legislators head ed by Joseph Reavis, of Falls City in a bill which provides for the choosing of police officers, to be compulsory in cities of 5,000 or more and optional in smaller com munties. Provision is made for the creation of local civil service com missions of three members and no appeal could be taken from their decisions. Reavis said that the purpose of the bill is “to take the police department out of politics. So long as a man is a good officer, he would not be under the threat of political shakeup with each change of administration.” Mr. and Mrs. Fred McNally left Monday on a short business trip. Emmet Moore made a business trip to Bassett, Monday. mtmtttmmtmtmttmmttmttmmtr For Scientific Eye Examina tion and Correctly Fitted Glasses See Dr. C. W.
