THE NEBRASKA SCENE (By The Lowell Service) Lincoln—In ruling the name of William A. Burkett off the primary ballot as a republican candidate for Congress in the First district, the Supreme court has added another barricade that protects the salaries, emoluments, and perquisites of of fice in Nebraska. Mr. Burkett filed a statement with the secretary of Btate, when he submitted his nom inating petition, declaring that he would not take salary until the fed eral budget was balanced. He as serted that he meant to put a stop to “wanton spending." The Su preme court, in an opinion by Jus tice Carter, asserts that this pledge amounts to bribery of the elector ate. Mr. Burkett said he intended to appeal to the United States Su preme court for review. “I want to remove that stigma of bribery,” he said, "because that is something that could follow me all my life. 1 am sincere in my desire to serve my country. It is time that officials should be required to show results before being allowed to enjoy lav ish salaries.” He is 26 years of age, and a nephew of the late El mer J. Burkett, who served as First district congressman and as United States senator. “An enlightened public policy,” declared Judge Carter, “requires that candidates in this country be elected on a basis of fitness for the office,,and not on that of bargain and sale. To permit elections to go to the highest bidder would open the doors of our public of fices to the worst type of corrupt ive influences. Our elections must express the free, intelligent, and unbiased judgment and choice of the electors, uninfluenced by pe cuniary offers of candidates. If free government is to continue to exist. The good faith of the real tor (Burkett) and his willingness to purge himself by a withdrawal of the statement cannot therefore be treated as a defense." Referring to the argument of Burkett’s attorneys that the de fendant was not a candidate when he made the offer of free service, Justice Carter said: “In my opin ion, a person becomes a candidate for an office when he announces that he will seek election to that office.” The party organizations, the courts, incumbents in office, and the representatives of taxpayers organizations are agreed on the policy of fortifying the privileges of public office. As noted in this column the taxpayers’ groups column through their representa tives at Lincoln, have opposed oi shown indifference to the following 1. Abolition of State offices bureaus, and commissions, or re ductions in stipends or expenses o: officials at the state house. 2. Any increase in the valua tions of the public utilities or othe private interests by the state boars of equalization. 3.

In a recent statement, Hugh Ash more of Palisade, speaking on be half of the taxpayers’ groups, urg ed that all forms of assistance be studied. In the last session of the taxpayers’ federation in Lincoln, the time was almost wholly taken up in a study of county expendi tures. Suggestions that expenses at the state house might be cur tailed were ignored. The Burkett and Copeland elec tion contests have delayed the printing of ballots by county clerks. Application for an absetit voter’s ballot may be made thirty days before an election, which this year will be April 9. Applications for mail ballots are now pouring in on the county clerks of the larger counties. These requests will be honored as soon as the ballots are received. The ballot must be postmarked not later than 8 p. m. on primary or election day. In both Omaha and Lincoln, a number of voters called for ballots, and the county clerks explained the situation. Some of the voters said they would be tak ing trips that precluded the pos sibility of receiving mail. “I can’t see why it’s a crime to regret, vocally, the lack of a job!” So declared an unemployed man, as, reluctantly, at police insistence, he moved away from the entrance to the state WPA office, along with a number of other jobless men and women. The group came down in tracks from Omaha Tuesday after, noon, about fifty strong, and be gan to picket WPA headquarters, carrying placards. Police dis the crowd, telling them that picket ing is illegal. BRIEFLY STATED Mr. and Mrs. Ira H.
