THE NEBRASKA SCENE (By The Lowell Service) Lincoln—For the first time in the history of Nebraska, the number of electjon precincts has been of ficially determined. The number has been fixed at 2,039 by the sec retary of state. April 9 is the pri mary date, and February 29 is the deadline for the filing of candi dates. It is much better to have the fil ings in the office on February 28, but offerings will be accepted up to 5 p. m., February 29. Since the proclamation should be published 60 days before the primary, the governor was just nine days late in signing the document. Douglas county leads with 193 election precincts. Lancaster has 123. Lincoln county comes next with 53. Holt has 42 polling places; Gage, Knox and Custer have 35 each. There will be a special election in the First district to choose a con gressman. _ l Now that Nebraska has seven tenths of its area marked “arid,” and the remainder designated as “semi-arid,” the fight to save the soil anil water jjesources is on in earnest. , „ , As stated in ^column about six months ago, X >e eastern line of the arid territory }S now drawn north and south along the sec-tion line passing through Emerald, six miles west of Lincoln. The first line of defense will be the great public power and irriga tion districts. It is promised to build seven low-head, on-river dams between Maxwell and the mouth of the Platte river, to conserve the sub-surface flow of water. The engineering methods are similar to the operations along the Brazos and other disappearing rivers in Texas. Between 14 and 17 dams are planned for the Republican val ley. Besides the hydros, the irriga tion systems, and the public power districts, there are a number of Special Announcement By The Perrigo Optical Co.

The chief ones are: Soil conservation service, including soil conservation demon stration areas; state agricultural conservation program, including hundreds of local committees; the ! agricultural extension serviee; con. servation and survey division; state | soil conservation districts organ ized under a 1937 law; states for estry project or “shelter belt"; var ious irrigation associatfons; the farm Security administration; bur eau of agricultural economics; civ ilian conservation corps; biological survey; reclamation service. Nebraska automobile dealers, in state convention at Omaha, em phatically rejected the proposal of Congressman Patman and others that a bill be passed by Congress, giving the federal trade commis sion authority to regulate the in dustry. The dealers passed a de cisive resolution and directed Phil, ip Kulznick, attorney for the asso ciation, to outline a resolution of protest. He was instructed to send it to the national association, to Congressional leaders, and to state associations. From the office of the secretary * of state, comes a complaint of hard 1 times, lack of business, and gener- j al depression in the matter of filing I for political office. As compared with 1936, the last presidential year, filings were 125 behind the record four years ago. With six days remaining, there were 210 office seekers under the wire. In 1936, 425 candidates sought office. In his report on the administra tion of the Nebraska Motor Ve hicle Licensing act, Assistant Di rector R. F. Weller declared that the act was interpreted to protect the public interest through co-oper ation and action of the dealers’ committees. There is an advisory board to hear complaints and a board of appraisal to direct the survey for determining the fair market value for used cars. During 1939, 979 new dealers’ licenses were issued. So far in 1940, 866 new' dealers’ licenses have been issued, , and there are 356 used car cards and 1,113 salesmen. The depart- ■ ment has investigated 312 com- , plaints. Four licenses were revok- j ed and three suspended for short terms.

Find The Tax-Free Man “A nation-wide poll indicates that 25 per cent of the people bel ieve they do not pay taxes,” says the Kansas City Times. “Presum ably these are people who never ride in motorcars, who do not live in houses or apartments, who do not buy food or clothing or do any of the other things that go to make up present-day living. “That 25 per cent is pretty myth ical. It’s the supreme example of self-delusion. It sees no tax bills and so concludes it does not pay. It’s pretty much like saying that because you don’t see the heat or the cold neither can exist.” What this all adds up to is sim ply that the great bulk of taxes collected in this country are hidden taxes.

And in a year’s time those little pieces total more than 20 percent of your entire income. In other words, your earnings for over one month out of five go to the tax collector instead of into your own pocket. A .search for a man who doesn’t pay taxes would be about as fruit less as Diogenes’ classic search for the completely honest man. He would have to be someone who doesn’t eat, doesn’t wear clothes, doesn’t live anywhere, doesn’t buy newspapers and magazines—a man in brief, who doesn’t do anything at all and doesn’t need anything to do it with. All the rest of us are taxed—and plenty. RUPTURE SHIELD-EXPERT H. L. HOFF MAN, Minneapolis, Minn.
