Washington. Feb. 13. 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. , -.. -

' 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

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

for all time the names of tho.se who
have served and died for their coun

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."

county to collect the 1921 tax law
which authorizes a tax of only one-
fourth the regular levy cn so-called

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.

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.

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 -
