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. The methods pursued b yth
state board of educational land

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.
