CATTLE SURVEY IN SAND HILLS
Lincoln, March 28. A 3-year sur
vey of the cattle industry in the Ne
braska sand hills has been recently
completed by the college of agricul
ture and is now out In printed form.
Forty seven ranches were studied
with the idea of determining why
some farmers have bad luck and oth
ers make good labor incomes.
That the cattle industry is on a
much firmer basis now than 50 years
ago, in the days of free grass and
cowboys is one of the first conclu
sions reached. That success or fail
ure of the ranchman depends largely
upon his ability to manage the busi
ness is another. The realization that
it is poor management rather than
bad luck which causes failure in most
instances, is one step toward remedy
ing the situation.

Lincoln, March 28. The supreme
court today held that Kennedy, Hol

Billionaires
Refuse Aid in
Farm Relief
Five Decline Invitations to Assist in
Writing Bill ; Fee Issue May
Be Revived.
Washington, March 28. The spec
tacular move by senate agricultur
ists to have financial and industrial
kings like Morgan, Rockefeller, Ford
and Schwab write a farm relief bill
for them virtually fizzled out Thurs
day.
John D. Rockefeller jr. sent in his
declination Thursday to appear before
the senate committee and give his
farm views, and it was added to
similar polite declinations previously
received from J. P. Morgan, Owen D.
Young, Paul M. Warburg and Charles
M. Schwab.
Not Qualified.
Rockefeller telegraphed his thanks
to the committee for inviting him,
but said:
"Much as I would like to be of
service to your committee, never hav
ing made a study of the problems
and never having had any first-hand
knowledge of them, I am afraid I am
not equipped to render service."
Schwab telegraphed that if his
health permitted he had engagements
in New York," which would prevent
his coming to Washington.
Fee Plan Discussed.
Thus hopes for a "billionaire" ad
visory board in writing farm relief
legislation apparently were doomed.
One result may be a resumption of
the effort to enact the old McNary-
Haugen bill, with its much discussed,
much condemned equalization fee
feature.
The senate and house agriculture
committees meanwhile were staging a
race in drafting new farm bills. The
senate committee planned to end its
hearings next week. The house com
mittee announced it would terminate
its hearings by April 3. Congress as
sembles on April 15.
Secretary of Agriculture Arthur
M. Hyde will appear before the house
committee, probably April 1, to sub
mit "all data in possession of the
Agriculture department."

Miss Freda KJinger, teacher in the
Lewiston school gave a very fine talk

ARMY WAGES RIVER ICE WAR
iBsmark, N. D., March 28. Chock
ed by one of the grestest ice gorges
ever formed in this section, the Mis
souri river continued to defy all ef
forts to break the gigantic jam at
Huff( south of here, and release a
wide stretch of farming territory
from the manace of high water.
Although flood danger to Bis
marck and Mandan is believed past,
with recession of more than a foot
in 12 hours, conditions down river
still are serious, as flowage remained
obstructed by 50,000,000 tons of ice.
Handicapped by lack of aerial
bambs with which they had hoped
to break the jam, army engineers
under Maj. G. R. Young continued
their plans to "shoot out" the gorge
with dynamite. They exploded 1,
000 pounds at the base of the gorge
Wednesday without appreciable ef
fect. . Thousands of acres of valuable
farmland have been washed away.

State to Take
a Hand in Dry
Raid Killing
Assistant Attorney General Going to
Aurora, 111., to Investigate
Shooting of Woman
Aurora. 111. Assistant Attorney
General Charles Hadley will repre
sent the attorney general at the
coroner's inquest into the death of
Mrs. Lilliam DeKing, shot by a de
puty sheriff in a liquor raid on her
home. His report. Attorney General
Oscar Caristrom said Thursday, will
determine, in part, whether the slate
law office will praticipate in the in
vestigation of the shooting, as re
quested by State's Attorney George
Carbary of Kane county.
The inquest will reconvene next
Tuesday and will be without the
direct testimony of the chief witness.
Deputy Sheriff Roy Smith, who fired
the fatal shot, underwent a major
operation at St. Joseph hospital, El
gin, to relieve threatened blood
poisoning resulting from a bullet
wound in his leg inflicted by twelve
year old Gerald King in defense of
his parents. Smith had been re
moved from an Aurora hospital earl
ier in the day and it was said he
feared mob violence here because of
the shooting.
In view of the nationwide atten
tion drawn to the case and the hun
dreds of letters received locally pro
testing against the actions of the
deputy sheriffs. State's Attorney
Carbary acceded to requests that they
invite a special rrosecutor to direct
the investigation.
Caristrom assigned Hadley, a for
mer state's attorney in Dupage coun
ty and widely known prosecutor, to
the coroner's inquest.
Boyd Fairchild, missing since the
night of the raid, was found in Odell,
111. It was he who obtained evidence
on which the search warrants were
granted. Formerly an automobile
salesman here, he left Aurora after
hearing of the fatal liquor raid.
Another new angle was the sworn
statement of Joseph DeKing's part
ner, George Stafford, that the raid
ing party was "out to get DeKing."
In an affidavit made out for DeKing's
attorneys, Robert A. Mllroy and Al
bert J. Kelley, Stafford told of meet
ing the party as it entered the De
King premises. Stafford leased the
gasoline filling station in front of the
DeKing home. He was convicted of
violation of prohibition laws some
time ago and was fined $250.
"I met the deputies as they came
into the yard," he said in the affi
davit. "I said to them, 'Listen, bojs,
let's not have any trouble. Joe's O.
K., and if you're got anything on
him he will go along and post
bond.' "
Stafford said the reply of Roy
Smith was "We're out to get this
fellow, dead or alive."
Stafford's sworn statement declar
ed that a side door of the DeKing
home was open, that he had a dear
view of what went on and that Mrs.
DeKing did not arise from the tele
phone to menace Smith before he
shot her. State Journal.
CHANGE OF POLICY ASKED
Chicago Bankers full of sage ad
vice for their customers, Thursday
were advised by Craig B. Hazelwood
of Chicago, president of the Amer
ican Bankers association, to turn to
these same customers for advice on
their own problem of declining pro
fits. Mr. Hazelwood addressed the
clearing house section of the Amer
ican Bankers association attended by
about 1,000 bankers from twenty Mis
sissippi valley Btates.
He advised that bankers apply to
their own business the scientific,
management methods which industry
has employed so successfully in com- I
bating declining profits and said the
place to learn of these methods was
from the bank's own customers who
have employed them. Profits hinge
on nothing so much as management,
he said, adding that while middle-
western banks have increased gross
profits greatly in recent years, net
profits have lagged behind.

'Dirty Polities'
Says mayor m
Sorensen Reply
North Platte Executive Questions At
torney General's Motives ; Must
Enforce Law or Quit.
North Platte, Neb., March 28. At
torney General Sorensen's ultimatum
to the mayor of North Platte that
he "enforce the law or resign" was
flung back at him tonight when
Mayor Temple telegraphed a reply in
which he said:
"Forty-six years of my 64
have been spent in western Ne
braska and I have lived so that
I am neither ashamed nor afraid.
In all my life I have never stoop
ed to dirty politics and if you
can say the same you will co
operate with me instead of at
tempting to build a desired and
self-sought reputation for your
self by assassinating mine."
In hi3 message to the mayor this
morning, the attorney general said
jhis investigators had reported to him
i that vice was "running wide open"
Jin North Platte and that "although
this has been called to your attention
repeatedly you have failed to act."
Sorensen said that unless action is
taken, he would ask the governor to
suspend Temple and bring proceed
ings for his removal. North Platte
is far worse than Omaha, Sorensen
asserted at Lincoln today. Mayor
Temple's reply:
"In my two years as mayor of
this city, no state or federal of
ficial has ever reported any law
violations to me or consulted me
in reference to such matters, un
til today, when your investigator
called upon me, and I demanded
of him that he furnish such evi
dence as he claimed to have, for
the purpose of enabling me at
once to file complaints against
such parties; but this was re
fused. I therefore request that
you place in my hands immed
iately all evidence you refer to in
your telegram, so that I may
file prosecutions without delay.
I have given a safe, sane, moral
and business administration dur
ing my tenure of office. I ques
tion your sincerity and motives,
upon the eve of our election,
which is next Tuesday, at which
I am a candidate for re-election,
in giving your message to the
Associated Press for wide pub
licity, instead of to me privately.
so that evidence might be se
cured against the parties aaccus
ed. The publicity given your
message would naturally drive
all law violators to cover and
make the securing of evidence
impossible.
"Criminals are not caught by
the blare of trumpets, but by the
co-operation of state and city
officials.
"Forty-six years of my life of
64 have been spent in western
Nebraska, and I have lived so
that I am neither ashamed nor
afraid. In all my life, I have
never stooped to dirty politics,
and if you can say the same, you
will co-operate with me instead
of attempting to build a desired
and self-sought reputation for
yourself by assassinating mine."

Washington Members of the

George Otis Smith, director of the
survey, presided at a meeting which
was addressed by, among others, Ray

Thirty-five years ago Herbert Hoo
ver was a member of the bureau's
staff, working as a field assistant in
geologic mapping in the Sierra

Stanford University.
Appropriations for the work of the
survey have" increased from $100,
000 in 1SS0 to more than $2,000,
000 for 1930.
Mr. Wilbur, in the course of an
address, said: "OuiJ (civiliation is
being made over right before our
eyes, under the stimulation cf the
forces set loose by discovery, re
search and invention. It is probably
true that we have available a mere
fragment of the great structure of
knowledge which will enetually be
brought into the service of man. Our
viewpoints are rapidly changing. Old
assumptions, theories and dogmas
are being rapidly pushed out of our
minds.
"It has been customary in the Gov
ernment with the nedes of agricul
ture, public health and in other fields,
to set aside a certain amount of
money and certain bureaus for those
studies requisite for security. There
has been, too, a fortunate tendency
to increase the amount of work done
in government laboratories which
can be classified as of a fundamental
character that is to say, searching
for truth for its own sake rather
than for practical procedures iiui.::

Four Cent Gas
Levy Bill Sent
to Gov, Weaver
Federal Aid of $1,000,000 Made
I Available When Governor He.s
j Signed Measure.
Lincoln, March 28. Relocation,
straightening and paving of the Omaha-Lincoln
highway running through,
Gretna, Ashland and Waverly, will
be one of the first highway projects
undertaken after the 4-cent gas tax
goes into effect, Roy Cochran, secre
tary of the department of public
works, said Thursday.
The house Friday concurred in a
senate amendment, putting an emer
gency clause in the measure, so that
it will go into effect as soon as it is
signed by the governor.
This will let the department of
public works get a big job of pr..ving
done this summer, according to Mr.
Cochran.
If this clause had not been includ
ed, Nebraskans would not have paid
the additional tax until July, and
no work under the increased tax
could have been launched until then.
A roll call of the house continued
for an hour until a two-third major
ity was obtained to include the emer
gency clause.
Those who opposed the bill finally
are:
Senator Frush, Scott. Easton
(Omaha) and Cooper (Omaha). Ban
ning, Vance and Read absent or not
voting.
Representatives Bailey, Binfield,
Burr, Cushing Druesdow (Omaha),
Essam, Foster (Omaha), Frahm,
Gardiner, Jelen, Lowry (Omaha),
McMahon (Omaha), McMillan (Oma
ha), Neubauer, O'Gara, Olesen, Ough,
Randall, SIoup, Story, Turner, Wells,
Whitney and Speaker Coulter.
Under the new 4-cent gas tax, the
state will get about $S, 500,000 year
ly, it is estimated.
The tax, which has passed both
houses of the legislature, sets aside
Vfecent of the gallon tax for paving
state-federal highways. This will
yield about $1,000,000 annually.
