Despite a further decline of business activities during the month of December and January there was a continued im provement in "fundamental condi tions and a spirit of optimism pre vails in practically every Industry and that augurs well for the future." according to a review of the econom ic situation in the United States contained in the survey of Current Business, issued today by the de partment of commerce. Considerable progress has been made toward getting the country back to normal business, notwithr standing a few reactions experienced during the past two months, says the review. Prices have remained relatively stable for the past six months, the review continues and that is consid ered of "fundamental importance for business recovery." The buying public is gradually coming to real ize,. It says, that the "big vertical drop in prices is over." There prob ably will be further gradual reces sions as business is done on a more economical basis and margins are re duced, it adds, but on most commo dities, it is expected that these move ments will be spread over a relative ly long period of time.' Under a preliminary summary for January, the iron and steel industry is shown to be still "without defin ite trend," textiles likewise ihave shown little change. The automobile industry showed the usual seasonal dullness during the month. , -.. - .'Grain and livestock showed some (IrppeiiioH.'duriB-g. th tfirsii.week In January, but has since shown grad ual improvement. from Wednesday's Pally. 1 The canvass made by the local I chapter of the Daughters of the t American Revolution for funds for ' the memorial tablet to be placed in the court house in honor of the dend of Cass county in the World war, . yesterday was very pleasing in the reports that have so far bven re ceived. The ladies themselves made the canvass of the business section and the sum realized s reported S3 far is in the neighborhood of $1)0 with a few more to report. The Burling ton employes at the shops, it is re ported, have responded in fine shape and that their donations will go a long way toward making the mem orial a possibility in the near fut ure. This bronze tablet will preserve for all time the names of tho.se who have served and died for their coun try and represents the free will of fering of the generous and patriotic citizens of the city.

BRYAN TO MAKE A STATEMENT Miami, Fla.. Feb. 13. William Jennings Bryan, who has for some time made his home and legal resi dence here, was silent today when questioned in regard to a recurring report that he would be candidate this year for election to the United States senate from Florida. When asked to confirm or deny the report The last pension of the act p?"sed la.-t April requiring the filing of affidavits by newspaper publishers in April and October to secure their status as legal newspa pers, and thereby relieved the situa tion with a large part of the news papers of the state which have been without status as legal publications since October through failure to com ply with the law. O. O. Buck, field secretary of the Nebraska Press association, and who fs engaged in the newspaper business at Harvard, sends out the following rtatement in regard to this law to the newspapers of the state: "The law that was enacted last April requiring all publications to file affidavits of legality with county clerks in ApriT anil October of encli year, was repealed by the special ses sion of the legislature. The act also validates aH' publications tbaF 'wy have" Dee'n Av ro rig f ul 1 y-fn a TK "'"' This clears up that matter completely and we are now back to where we were before the act was parsed. Xo epvcial filings' are now necessary. "A sort of a bill intended to take the place of the legal paper bill avbs passed, but it was of so little prac tical benefit to us, that I asked the governor to veto it."

Fanners State Bank, Plattsmouth, Clerk ant in nine different suits in.-tituteJ for the purpose of requiring, the county to collect the 1921 tax law which authorizes a tax of only one- fourth the regular levy cn so-called intangible property, such as money. notc-3. bonds and warrants. The plaintiffs alleged the law authoriz ing such a tax was operative when the county board made its levy in 1921. The district court sustained the county in its allegation that the law was not in effect in April. 1921.' the date under which all property is as sessed. The plaintiffs will appeal to the supreme court. The lower court dismissed the action. State Tax Commissioner Osborne takes the view that the law regard ing taxation of intangible property was net in effect April 1, 1921, and therefore could not he enforced in the collection of taxes for that year, even tho that portion of the same law which increased the basis of tax ation from one-fifth to full valuation was in effect -when the levy was made for that year. It is not clear why banks vt Dakota county desire enforcement of the law relating to taxation of intangible property for the reason that the law in question makes no change in the method of assessing banks. a- ntbpr mnttVrs Representative J.-eph G.

IMitor Journal: We noticed vour editorial that we could elect John ii. Morchoad con- trsMiian from the Kirst district. We absolutely agree with you on thi. I ut we think the tU man can be of r.v ro service to the State of Nebraska a-, governor than a; congressman, for It there ever was time in the his tory of Nebraska that we need men to help reconstruct it, it is now, and we believe that Nebraska needs con struction too, prolutjiy as mucn as any state in the Union, and especial ly in the condition affairs will be in v.-heii the present .governor goes out of office. Alorehead is a st !f made man, and a man who has v nrked along con servative lines all his life. "All we have to do is to refer to his four years;' administration to convince the most skeptical that lie would be the iiia u for the place, especially at this time. We haven't the least doubt in our mind but that be can be re-elected for a third term, t" serve the people of the state and j-t t us back on a cound financial L;isN again. With the tremendous tax burden now upon us and the wa?te of i :oney throughout the entire state nuiehinery by the present incumbent, we must elect a governor and legislature that will be conservative and v ill be willing to tacrifice its own interests for the common good, and repeal some of the laws now on our Matute books that cause so much watte. We have in mind the code bill. It is one of the most wasteful pieces of the state ma chinery. We will not go into detail and mention all oi these, but we could not resist answering your edi torial and suggest Mr. Morehead for governor, because he is the one great man in the democratic party in Ne braska who can h? elected governor. You may use this if you like. Yours very trulv. I j. F. L.ANGIIORST, J. A. CAPWELL. Nebraska City. Feb. 13. This city is r.bova ready to re-establish home riilo. The army of occupation, brought l&re because of the packing 'i''iise strike riots, is about ready to depart. Law and order have been re established and respect for authority has been forced upon those who in the past have ignored the police and laughed at the sheriff's force. The city has been qu-et and orderly i:ince the troops' came. Many there were who did not want to see the troops; many who felt their presence would give the town a bad name and some who felt that the arrogance of military rule would be unbearable. This latter class has been happily dis appointed. Military authorities have ruled affairs in a way to excite com mendation from the law abiding and the law respecting element. Aside from the first Sunday afternoon and eveninsr none lias been inconvenienc ed. That one time the streets were clnred and people v ere sent to their hemes. Military authorities deemed i? necessary to prevent trouble and the analytically inclined have since ccme to that conclusion if they did net already hold it. The troops have caused as little in convenience as possible. They have not interfered with legitimate busi ness and they have given protection in many ways the police could not have offered. With their going comes news of a new administration of law; of t!fe retirement for the time at least cf the head of the police department and the head of the sheriff's force. Hopes are entertained that never again will the lawless element be permitted to obtain the upper hand of peace officers. Reputable citizens have pledged themselves over and over again that when elections come in the future they at least will be lined up for' their own protection against the lawless element, but the feir is expressed that now and then those who have misruled in the past may again slip into ruling places. The military cleanup in Nebraska City has been about as complete as could have been accomplished in the -i ort time the officers have been at work. Showing one instance of what has been accomplished the Press of this city tells about one trial held as follows: "That open gambling, drinking and. it would appear, more rpnreben- ible acts of Wrong-doing have been committed in Nebraska Citv for months past, right in the face of Iiolice and sheriff's officers without even a reprimand, was brought out in d?tail yesterday in military court when 'Bill' Stavron. one of the pro prietors of the Olympia Candy Kit chen, was tried for having permitted drinking and gambling in his place of business. "The testimony for the most part was undisputed. It was presented by national guardsmen who had visited the place, drank liquor and partici pated in the other diversions which, it is realized now by many fond mammas and papas, have been mag nets to attract school boys and school zirls of Nebraska Citv's 'best fami lies. "And that these 'carryings on could have been a normal attribute to the regular business of the place does not seem possible, perhaps, un til one realizes to just what a low ebb our vaunted 'protection by offi cers of the law has sunk during these twenty-four months, or more, past. Then, no doubt, and coupled with other things which have already hap pened and things which are Iikely to happen more swiftly within the next week or so. one cart understand why fathers and mothers have been so blind because it has been the blindness of a foolish faith in officers of the law who have- been . entirely unworthy of either confidence or in spect. "At this point the commission tat-: ed that tavron, without a doubt, bud been guided by the" county and city officials for the condition . of bis place; that it was evident thatrthey: had given his place the 'wink.' -The case was taken under advisement:"' . William Stavron, the proprietor, has since been given a sentence 'of thirty days. ' v - FINANCE BODY APPROVES HE- - , BRASKA LOANS OF $451,000 Washington. Feb. 13.
