Inman Once a Humdinger
By ROMAINE SAUNDERS
LINCOLN—Citizens of Indianola, out in Red
willow county, will devote their annual celebra
tion in late August in a tribute to the homestead
er, with a real sodhouse the center of attraction
and a pageant with “my little
old sod shanty on my claim” the
o theme song.
Maybe Holt county, or In
man precinct, should be coming
up with something in honor of
that Holt county homesteader,
Joseph Raymond, who immor
talized the sodhouse in verse
which first appeared in the In
man Index, a little four-page pa
per that Cross & Son managed
to produce during the 1880’s Romaine
with a case or two of type and Saunders
a Washington hand press. The
mechanical equipment was not so much but ed
itorially it was one of the bright stars in a galaxy
of literary talent that graced the press of Holt
county in the radiant days of its youth. Raymond
was a sodhouse homesteader three miles south of
the town of Inman, a humdinger in those days of
straight-shooting cowpunchers and brilliant vil
lage talent. And now at Inman as well as else
where there rests upon the brow of time the evi
dence of the taming work of the years.
And yet Inman has its memories of the shin
ing days of long ago when such as Joseph Ray
mond put humor, romance and adventure into life
in a sodhouse on the claim.

In a letter from a venerable friend who grew
up in Holt county, now making his home in a
distant state, I read this: “I seem to hear an aeo
lian dirge as the hot winds beat northward, as
they must this time of year in Holt county. For
whom are they playing—for friends gone before,
for mature men and women when we were boys,
or boon companions our own age?” Well, Old
timer, to you the wind*is playing on the harp
strings of memory; it brings again the dolorous
call of the prairie wolf, the thunderpumper’s sa
lute to the setting sun, the evening note of the
meadow lark, the long drawnout call of a prairie
wildling for his mate, the booming crow of the
prairie rooster as he struts before his harem. It
whispers to you through the waving treetops and
silken gown of green-robed praireland of romance
and adventure of the lang ago, of youthful
dreams and high resolves. It touches, too, a
mournful chord for the departed red man whose
footprint is forever washed away by the silent
flowing Elkhom, a dirge for our fathers and
mothers whose lips are silent, toilworn hands at
rest. And for this generation whose heritage is a
subdued wilderness the aeolian note is one of
courage and inspiration.

What is this “diehard” element and who are
they the political sprigs, who have one “para
mount issue” one minute and something else the
next minute, speak of so ruthlessly? They are the
people who have tested principles of right and
wrong in government, know where they stand
and are not carried about by every vagary of pol
itical doctrine that floats about. Who are they
that make up the “old guard” at whom some just
out of the diaper period cast aspersions? They are
the solid folks who have grown gray in party
service and know the sane and workable from the
vagaries. Heaven preserve the old gaurd and the
diehards!

Patent No. 2,594,725 has been obtained by a
California patriot for a process which is said to
make artificial snow. Let’s have some of it these
hot summer days.
Law enforcement officers are making out
cases involving beer taverns for selling to teen
agers whose demand for firewater is on the in
crease. If it is good stuff for an old fool, why not
alright for a young fool? . . . American Legion
vets had what it takes to put on a half-mile pa
rade down the solar furnace of a Lincoln street
in late July. . . “Saucers,” those mysterious ob
jects seen moving across the heavens that some
scientists reluctantly have concluded may be vis
itors from distant planets, have been reported
circling above the District of Columbia. Before
the atom bomb was dropped on ancient Sodom
and Mrs. Lot became a lump of salt because her
curiosity got the best of her, Celestial Visitors
checked up on doings in the oldtown. If the sau
cer visit at our nation’s capital has any such sig
nificance let us hope the report is more favor
able than what has been coming out of congress
ional committee investigations. , . Convention
halls have trembled under the impact of oratory
soaked in partisan hogwash. The smiling FDR,
jr., not the least. “The voice is Jacob’s voice but
the hands are the hands of Esau.”

Maybe that which was of more interest to
prairieland patriots than political conventions
was the horse show down at Grand Island the
past week. Fanciers of the palominos in Nebraska
and adjacent states had their nags on show. That
is about all a horse is useful for since the ma
chines on the highways and farms have taken
over. The palominos show up rather classy and
with a dude aboard who thinks he’s some pump
kins as a rider, but who causes the rider of the
old range days to snort with disgust, and the
horse show is complete. . . Amateur statesmen
here and there think a national primary would
be the thing. Primaries in several states is what
has split political parties into factions and made
more trouble than a box of monkeys. With a na
tional primary law to select candidates for pres
ident the way is open for 48 states to come for
ward each with a favorite son and man of destiny
to appear on the ballot, which would involve us
in a political mess that even these gents advo
cating the primary would be able to see.

Published proceedings of the Lancaster coun
ty board contained a list of 294 persons to whom
salary claims had been allowed. The highest
$391.66, lowest $11.93. The average run about
$200. This makes it about $55,000 for the month
All counties in the state have a salary list of
greater or less volume. Salaries are only a part
of the cost of county government. Consolidation
of counties has been discussed as an economy
measure but so far economy either in private life
or official circles is not thought of seriously.
Waste goes on everywhere. And while household
ers consign unusable table leftovers to the garb

of the race and show them how it is done.

Editorial . . .
Too Many Grass Fires
The incidence of grass fires in the O’Neill
region during these past few weeks, while this
section has been in the grip of a costly drouth,
provokes a diseussiop of farm and ranch fires.
The rural fire bill of nearly one-third of a
million dollars for every working day of the year
means a tax upon every bushel of grain the farm
er hauls to market; upon his dairy and poultry
products; upon his livestock.
Unlike urban areas where fire protection and
water supplies are adequate, farms often face to
tal destruction when fire strikes. When fire de
stroys a farm, the loss of farm equipment, live
stock and personal property often throw’s such an
economic burden up#on a family that it can not
regain its financial independence.
While insurance protection is a necessary
safeguard against loss by fire, the cost of time
and labor to rebuild is usually far in excess of
the value destroyed.
Nearly all farm fires can be traced to two
basic causes — faulty building construction and
lack of knowledge. Realizing the importance of
the fire menace, leaders in municipal, county,
state and federal government are now waging
war on tw<? fronts—prevention and portection.
Inspection is the right arm of fire prevention
—the safeguard that may mean the difference
between a small glaze, quickly extinguished, and
the wholesale destruction of buildings, property
and possessions. Farms are very often w’ithout
adequate water supplies and isolated from fire
fighting facilities.
Inspection of dwellings, of barns and out
buildings: Lightning causes more fires than any
other hazard on the farm, annually destroying
thousands of buildings, taking lives of approxi
mately four hundred persons and injuring about
a thousand more.
Protect livestock by grounding all wire fences.
Connect grounding rods with each lateral wire
of the fence and extend into the ground for at
least three feet. Fences joined to a building
should be grounded at the post nearest the struc
ture. In addition, the ground rod of the building
should be connected to the fence.
Many factors play a part in the spontaneous
ignition of hay: Moisture content, chemical action,
bacterial action, the presence of sufficient air and
a pile so large that heat cannot escape.
Most grass fires are products of lightning—a
natural cause over which we have no control.
Some, however, are caused by sheer carelessness.
The extension service of the University of
Nebraska college of agriculture would be pleased
to provide you literature and details on rural fire
prevention. The state department of health also
has prepared special bulletins. Their services are
available without charge.

Supply and Demand
(From Cedar County News, Hartington)
To see the difference between the workings
of the law of supply and demand and that of a
controlled price set in Washington can be best
illustrated by taking a look at the recent potato
shortage this spring.
That the law of supply and demand will con
trol prices better than some politician was well
demonstrated. Let’s look at the potato story.
The potato crop last year was smaller than
the recent average. That might have caused a
temporary shortage. But ordinarily the shortage
would have lasted only until the potato crop in
the southern states was ready for market.
But the controls changed the ordinary pro
cess of marketing. Because prices were fixed at a
I comparatively low rate, southern farmers decid
ed to let their potatoes stay in the ground until
they attained full growth. Then a larger yield
might compensate for the lower price.
As last year’s crop of potatoes was used up,
black marketeers invaded the southern potato
fields and began buying up the crop at prices
nigh enough to induce the farmers to harvest
promptly. Legitimate dealers couldn’t do that, be
i ause of controls. The situation was rapidly grow
ng worse.
Finally Price Stabilizer Ellis Arnall was pres
sured into canceling the ceiling. As a result prices
did advance for a few days. The price increase
induced more fanners to start digging. House
wives who objected to the high price let potatoes
pile up in the market.
Finally the price broke sharply. Soon pota
toes were selling in the New York market at five
pounds for 25 cents. It took 15 days for the free
market to restore the price to what it should be
under the law of supply and demand.

State Capitol News . . .
Coonrad Raps Assistance Staffs as
‘Asinine, Part-Time Political Boards
LINCOLN—Representatives of
19 counties were to gather Wed
nesday at the capitol to show the
state board of equalization why
their farm land and improvement
assessments should not be jacked
up by percentages ranging up to
50 percent.
The decision to hold the hearing
came at a heated meeting of the
board which found State Treas
urer Frank B. Heintze and State
Auditor Ray C. Johnson, both
candidates for reelection, voting
against Gov. Val Peterson, Sec
retary of State James Pittenger
and Tax Commissioner Philip K.
Johnson. Neither Peterson nor
Pittenger is a candidate in the
fall election and Commissioner
Johnson holds an appointive of
fice.
These are the counties where
the board wants to raise assess
ment and the proposed increases,
percentagewise:
Arthur_25
Banner_10
Box Butte_20
Chase-10
Deuel-10
Dundy- 10
Frontier-10

Hayes-10
Holt _._-_20
Lincoln_—20
McPherson_25
Perkins_10
Phelps_20
Rock-10
Sheridan_20
Sioux_20
Thomas_20
The board’s action came after a
session in which Governor Peter
son, the group’s chairman, pro
posed that all counties with a
percentage ratio of assessed value
to the 20-year average sale price
per acre of less than 50 percent
be increased to 50 percent and
that all counties with a ratio of
more than 50 percent be dropped
to 50 percent.
Peterson said his plan would
be the first real equalization of
farm lands in improvements in
the history of the state.
The motion, which failed to
draw a second was defeated,
Peterson said, “because it was ab
solutely sound, fair and just.”
Also defeated for want of a sec
ond was a motion by Auditor
Johnson that the board take no
action in increasing farm land
and improvement assessments.
* * *
Dim —
Best opinion here at the
statehouse is that the chances for
a special session of the legislature
to pass a highway revenue
measure are pretty dim.
Despite the fact that governor
Peterson has been urged by sev
eral highway groups to summon
the lawmakers and despite the
almost - certain recommendation
of the (Nebraska Editors Highway
Improvement association that
such a call be issued, it is be
lieved here that a special session
is most unlikely.
Scheduled to meet at Grand Is
land August 8 is the full editors’
committee to receive the recom
mendation of a five-member sub
committee.
After the editors recommend
a special session, it is believed
Peterson will poll the lawmak
ers for their opinion. This is
what he did when Sen. Hugh
Carson of Ord urged an emer
gency session to raise the ceil
ing on old age assistance pay
ments.
The legislators who voted in
the regular 1951 session against
raising the gas tax by a penny
were polled several weeks ago by
the Lincoln Journal and only one
—Sen. Harry Pizer of North
Platte—said re would not object
to returning to Lincoln for a spe
cial meeling.
But most of the others, Includ
ing such bitter critics of the high
way department as Sen. Art
Carmody of Trenton, chairman of
the budget committee, said they
would oppose a special session.
“I am watching the whole pro
cedure with a great deal of in
terest,” the governor skid last
week, “but needless to say I
would be very reticent about call
ing a special session of the legis
lature.”
• * *
'Asinine' —
One of the men who helps to
direct the county-level administ
ration of Nebraska’s assitance
program has termed the “admin
istration of a $20 million annual
program of relief by 93 part-time
political boards nothing short of
asinine.”
^ He is Rollin (“Tal”) Coonrad of
Sargent, chairman of the board
of supervisors of Custer county.
Referring to a plan of con
solidating county aid offices as
proposed by Myer Avedovech,
business manager of the assistance
pro-gram, Coonrad said:
"No one has proven you
couldn't save money under the
Avedovech plan and if the tech
nical adirtinistraiion of the pro
gram were with the state board
of control where it belongs, the
Avedovech plan would be in ef
fect now."
Advanced several months ago,
the plan has as yet had no takers
although Mrs. Mary Prince, board
of control chairman, said that
Brown and Keya Paha counties
“are talking about” consolidating
their offices.
“In my opinion,” Coonrad said,
“county assistance boards are
nothing more than buffers in that
they catch the devil from recio
ients on one side and take orders
and receive audit criticisms from
the board of control on the oth
er.”
* * *
Scales —
The 12 truck weighing stations
provided for by the 1951 legisla
ture will be in operation by the
end of this year, the state high
way department has announced
but it took some prodding from
Gov. Peterson to get action on
the construction.
So far, only two scales are in
actual operation—at North Platte
and Holdrege. Contracts have
been awarded for two more near
Wahoo and Plattsmouth. Others
will be built at Fremont, Hebron
and Waverly. Location of the re
mainder has not yet been decided.
A highway department spokes
man said the stations cost about
$30,000 each to build, including
$2,000 for the scales. They will
be manned by state safety patrol
men.

the 1952 infantry ROTC sum
mer camp at Ft. Benning, Ga., the
home of the U.S. army infantry
center.
The ROTC camp will consist of
six weeks of intensive training
in courses ranging from bayonet
training to radiological defense;
however, most of the training will
be concerned with learning the
basic infantry techniques to in
clude the firing of individual and
crew served weapons and tactics.
In addition, recreational, so
cial and religious activities will
be a part of the camp program
The ROTC summer camp train
ing is an important part of the
