PLATTSMOUTH SEMI - WEEKLY JOURNAL inn i o im unncc dillo in nuuot AND SENATE MAY TOTALTHOUSAND Many Thrown Into Hopper as Expi ration of Time of Filing' Them Draws to a Close Bets are even as to whether the 133 men of the Nebraska legislature will run up a tota' of more than 1,000 bills before the time limit of twenty days runs out this week. The last two or three days always bring an avalanche of new measures, some times exceeling in i umber all that have come before. Up until "Monday. 332 proposed law, constitutional amendments and memorials to congress or to state of ficers have been pr-sented in the house, and two days yet remain for additional offerings for that chamber. The senate, with three days still to go, had 148 bills on its file Monday morning. This made a total of 470 in both branches. During the week-end adjournment from Friday till Monday most of the members went home with the excep tion of those chosen from both houses to visit Arbor Lodge. Many of them came back with bills wished onto them at home or with newly acquir ed which they will ask the legislative reference bureau to work up into short order bills for them. Labor Measures to the Fore In the house, the Gallagher mini mum wage bill for women has been made a special order for Wednesday. It fixes J12 per week as the lowest wage that may be paid by employers of female workers. It is being boost ed along by influential women and sociological workers. Mrs. Blanche McKelvey, of Omaha, was here to speak for it at a committee hearing on Thursday evening. It was erron eously reported that Mrs. S. R. Mc- Kelvie, of Lincoln, wife of the ex- governor, had appeared on behalf of the bill. Another hearing will be held by the labor committee Thursday after noon on the bill of Representative Elsasser of Omaha to soften the re strictions of the anti-picketing law enacted in 1921 and sustained in the recent popular referendum which will permit strikers to accost work men and talk to them without hind-; ranee, provided no intimidation nor; coercion is practiced. As the law now stands, persistent attentions or strikers to men on the job, against the will of the latter are forbidden. Would Be-establish Co. Assessors A measure introdced by Repre-j sentative Neff of Knox county, as H R. 264, strikes out of the present law the provision allowing the peo ple of a county to vote on the ques tion of abolishing the county assess or's office. Its effect would be to re establish that office in thirty-three counties where it has been done away with by popular mandate. There is strong sentiment, on the other hand, among members of both the house and the senate committees on revenue and taxation, for abol ishing the county assessor's office in all counties and turning the duties over to the county clerk. The latter now makes up the tax lists from as sessment returns made to him by the assessor. The Osterman balanced income tax bill will be considered at an open hearing by the house committee on revenue and taxation Thursday af ternoon.

Conditions in Russia are much btter and if t the improvement con tinues Russia will be able to take care of itself, according to Gustaf F. Beschorner of Lincoln, American relief administration inspector who returned from Moscow and the Volga valley, arriving in Lincoln Saturday evenine. In the winter of 1921-22, Mr. Beschorner says, 25 per cent ofj the people in the Volga valley, Odes sa and Ukrania districts died. The condition is now immensely improv ed due to American relief. The peo ple who tried to leave the country during the 21-22 winter, starved on the border. The few who returned to their homes had no seed or imple ments and were worse off. than thuje who had made no attempt to leave. Mr. Beschorner was called to the relief work by the national Lutheran council and was engaged in the Hoik of the American Relief administra tion, later co-operating with workers from every charitable and religious organization. He 'had charge of a district about the size of half the state of Nebraska and - distributed food, clothing and medical supplies to 95,000 people. Because of his position as a relief worker, .Mr. Beschorner. refused to discuss the Russian government, but said that he believed that it was a permanent institution, with changes which must come about gradually. "They have withstood the crisis,"-iie said, "'and I am sure the government will stand." He stated that the communistic system has been largely given up. the land and some of the larger industries still being owned by the'government. Poor Railroads a Hindrance "I've seen the horrors of famine, people dying, dropping on the streets exhausted." said Mr. Bescnorner in rtoRrrihinir conditions when he first arrived and before the relief organ izations were able to function. The failure to supply relief Immediately was due to the inability of the Rus sian railroads to carry the American products. - "No burial as we think some times none at all," said Mr. Beschorn er. Ten million people v were cared for and 50 per cent of the people are still dependent. Three and one-half ; million children received one meal a day at me Kiicnen, anu tatu adult was given one pound of corn per day. The American relief workers will be in Russia until-the next harvest when it is believed the. people will be able to take care of - themselves. One good crop and the crisis will be passed, is Mr. Beschorner's opinion. Mr. Beschorner was off United States soil for exactly one year to the minute. He sailed from New York at noon on January 17, .1922, and landed again at New. York at noon on January 17, 1923. He left Moscow December 7. - . .4 1 J Bm WHAT WILL YOUR ? FADS BE IN '23?

RADIO FANS C2N BE . WEATHER FORECASTERS - Radio fans can make good weather prophets if they study the action of their receiving sets. For weather afar off affects the set. For Instance, if the receiver, is i tuned in on a station 500 miles concerts more faintly than ever, it , is an Indication or low barometric pressure and therefore of a storm or other form of bad weather in the region of the broadcasting station. Then if the fan tunes in stations nearer and nearer home, he can al most follow ths direction and speed of the storm. By simple calculations the amateur radio fan can become amateur weather prophet by telling when that storm will reach his city, if it is coming his way. With practice, the radio listener can startle his guests by such pro phecies. AH thB laB jugjulaY Capfrifclftst st the Journal office.
