That the laregst single amount
of receipts in the state assistance
department came from liquor tax
es—$2,183,763.60—is revealed in a
recent report from State Assist
ance Director Neil C. Vandemoer.
The report shows that assistance
cost the state $10,310,768.97 dur
ing the year and a half which end
ed Dec. 31, 1938, and that the re
ceipts during the same time
amounted to $11,265,705.19. Of
the disbursements, $7,218,321,64
went to old age assistance. Ad
ministrative exepnses amounted to
$155,550.15.
A city-county health unit is
again proposed in a bill introduced
last week by two Omaha members
of the legislature, Peter P. Gut

bill provides that the governor
appoint a non-salaried board of five
members, after the creation of the
district has been authorized by a
majority vote of electors. TJhe
board, or a director appointed by
the board, would establish and en
force all public health regulations.
The director must be a graudate of
a school of medicine. The intro
ducers claim that the plan has been
advocated for years by the Omaha
Douglas County Medical associa
tion.

Corn or Sorghums
This is a question facing many
Holt county frmers at this time of
the year. Drouth, crop failures,
low farm prices, lack of satisfac
tory income, reduction of livestock
numbers, losses of stands of le
gumes and grasses.
Grasshopper damage and adjust
ment payments for the conserva
tion program make this question
uppermost in the minds of many
farmers.
The common question is “How
much shift should be made from
corn to sorghums?” The better
varieties of grain sorghums have
consistently out-yielded corn far
mers in Holt county might consider
plainting from 10 to 30 per cent
of their long time corn acreage to
grain sorghums for feed on the
farm.
Results from field tests of co
operating farmers show that Early
Kalo and Sooner Milo are perhaps
the best varities to plant in this
community and it is important for
best yields to plant only 2 to 4
lbs. per acre.
The Nebraska agricultural ex
tension service is conducting a pas
ture forage-livestock program with
a balance sheet between livestock
numbers and feed supplies which
offers a practical way of studying
the problem. The local County
Agent has a supply of these balance
sheets and related information and
will be glad to discuss it with
farmers and landlords.
NATIONAL AFFAIRS
By Frank P. Litschert
The Republican comeback in
Congress in the elections of 1938
is regarded as one of the most sign
ificant and remarkable in the poli
tical history of the country. The
republican minority in Congress,
now grown to sizeable proprotions,
is made up of men of ability and
is displaying a confidence that au
gurs well for the political future
of the party. It is encouraging,
too, to republican observers to note
that the leaders are not content to
rest idly on their oars. Encour

aged by recent political develop
ments they are looking forward to
1940.
Since Congress returned to
Washington the republican minor
ity machine has been functioning
smoothly to some purpose. Look
ing to its future strategy it has
selected by a unanimous vote, Con
gressman Joseph W. Martin, of
Massachusetts, the Chairman of
the Republican Congressional
Committee, as minority leader in
the House of Representatives. His
record in Congress and as a poli
tical leader are best evidence of his
effectiveness.
To take his place as Chairman
of the Congressional Committee
the republican congressmen by an
other unanimous vote chose Repre
sentative J. William Ditter, of
Pennsylvania. The selection of
Congressman Ditter at this time is
a particularly fortunate one. He
has been in Congress since 1933, is
sound in his views and forceful in
carrying them out. Furthermore
he is popular personally with his
fellow congressmen and is w'ell
equipped to carry on the work of
seeking to elect a republican House
of Representatives in 1940. Those
who know him best confidently pre
dict that he will be favorably heard
from when the campaign rolls
around next year.
utner otncers oi tne congression
al Committee were re-elected. Mr.
Earle C. Venable, of Idaho, contin
ues as executive secretary, being
given a unanimous vote of con
fidence. He has held the position
since 1920, and his ability and un
canny knowledge of political con
ditions in the various congressional
districts in the nation have never
been questioned.
There will be close cooperation
in Congress between Minority
Leader Martin, Chairman Ditter,
and other republican leaders. These
seem to have dropped all personal
consideration to center their efforts
toward bringing about a repub
lican victory next year. The wis
dom of such a course is apparent.
A line on the new strategy is
given in the announcement made
by Mr. Martin recently that the
republicans in House caucus unani
mously authorized the appointment
of a committee- of eleven members
to study the qtfestion of national
defense which promises to be one
of the big problems of this Con
gress. Mr. Martin appointed the
comittee with Representative James
Wadsworth as chairman. The
study and conclusions on the sub
ject given by the committee will
prove invaluable to the republican
representatives for information
when it comes to debate. It is as
sumed that additional committees
of representative republicans will
be appointed to study other vital
questions.
While republicans are wisely
showing teamwork there seems to
be no such cooperation among the
Democratic hosts. Bitter dissatis
faction over the appointment re
cently of former Representative
Amlie, of Wisconsin, to be a mem
ber of the Interstate Commerce
Commission, is an example. .The
Republicans in Congress have a
chance to serve their country well
and at the same time make con
structive political progress.
Through their leaders they have
made a good start.
Here and There
Twenty years from now the can
didates for President are going to
try to show they were born in a
log hospital.
Wonder what Attorney General
ex-Governor Frank Murphy would
do if the Supreme Court were to
go on a sit-down strike?
A lot of fellows who fail at
everything else get jobs as efficien
cy experts. This is especially true
in the government.
President Roosevelt told the
newspapermen that he is a minor
not a major prophet. Judging by
his campaign speeches in 1932 and
1936 he is about half right.
In admitting he regrets that he
made those political speeches, Mr.
Hopkins has taken a position
alongside the fellow who didn’t
know it was loaded.
A Jersey cow down in Texas gave
birth to triplets, all healthy. The
mother is doing well but reported
not in sympathy with Henry Wal
lace’s farm program.
The newspapers say that Andy
Carnegie found it very difficult to
distribute $400,000,000. He should
! have known Harold Ickes and Har
ry Hopkins.
A Connecticut man says he pick
ed a buttercup after a foot of snow
I had melted from the ground. Pro
bably it had been planted there by
the WPA.
Dispatches from Spain the other
day said that General Franco had
captured LaGuardia. This, how
ever, is a village and not the mayor
of New York, who still remains at
