To Have the
Largest Member
ship in Years
Finance and Budget Committee Re
ports Almost 100r; Response
on Part of Citizens.
10 HO membership in the Chamber
of Commerce will be by far the larg
est in years. That fact is already ap
parent from the results announced by
the Finance and Budget committee,
of which Fred Ilea is chairman. Mr.
Ilea and his committee members have
only been able to contact a small
percentage of those for whom they
hold membership cards, but the re
sults have been most gratifying and
if continued in this ratio the total
membership of the civic organization
will run around four or live hundred,
surely a magnificent showing, com
pared with the usual run of around
a hundred members, and one that will
inspire the officers to greater confi
dence and more energetic tackling of
the work that lies before them for
130.
One of the soliciting teams with
25 prospects to be seen, reports only
two turndowns out of the entire num
ber called upon. Other results run
ning to almost the same ratio are
reported indicating the greatest in
terest in keeping PlattsmoiMh on the
arterial highway that leads to pro
gress and prosperity.
Certainly there is no business man.
property owner or wage earner, but
who can afford to invest $5 (mini
mum) per year in the community in
which he resides ami makes his live-;
lihood. And if there be smb. who
cannot pay the amount in one lump;
sunt, they ran meet it in quarterly j
installments. This also holds good in,
the case cf larger membership dues
expected from the business men.
Subscribing to membership i:i the
Chamber of Commerce is not a gift
ur a gratituous contribution in any
sense of the word. It is an invest
ment that is as legitimate and as gilt
e.!g" as any bond or security that
could be offered you. It denotes your
interest in the progress of your city
better than anything else it means
that several hundred individuals are
banded together to boost Plattsmouth
instead of jist a few. who give lib
erally of money but are woefully
lacking in numbers. And lastly, the
smell subscript ion taken from each,
makes available a sum that will per
mit of going out after enterprises and
showing the right kind of activity
when a new industry can be induced
to locate here.
There are no salaries in the Cham
ber of Commerce. The officers and di
rectors give freely of their time, meet
twice a month at noon-day luncheons
for which each from the president
down pays his :o cents, and quite j
often dig clown in their own pockets
for at least a portion of their ex
penses when they are called else
where to transact strictly Chamber
of Commerce business. Withal, they
ara generally first to subscribe to the
succeeding year's hu-lget.
How different from the paid secre
tary plan, where the greater part of
the money subscribed goes into salar
ies ami promotion expense.
Don't yen; think such fidelity as
this is deserving of your individual
support as members of the Chamber
of Commerce especially when so
small a sum as ." will pay your mem
bership fee for an entire year.
Let s all back the efforts of these
men and make l!i:o a really banner
year a year ot achievement and
progress for our community.
Legislators
Count Prospec
tive Chicks
Make Usual Preparations for a Spec
ial Session, Which Would
Cost Over $10,000.
Members of -the legislature who
are counting chickens in advance are
making the usual preparations for a
special session such as preparing a
bill to appropriate ay for themselves
and employes of the legislature. This
Is usually the first bill introduced at
a special session.
in 1919 a live day session cost
$10,450 for salaries for members and
employes, ine incidental expenses
usually run up to a few thousand dol
lars. Members of the legislature draw
$10 a day for special session, not
more than $100 being allowed re
gardless of the duration of the ses
sion. Mileage at the rate of 10 cents
for one round trip is allowed mem
,bers.
"The governor may on extraordin
ary occasions, says the 6tate con
stitution, "convene the legislature by
proclamation, stating therein the
purpose for which they are convened,
end the legislature shall enter upon
no business except that for which
they were called together."
In case of disagreement between
the two houses with respect to the
time of adjournment, the governor
may adjourn the legislature.
There is much speculation as to
fwhether the governor will call spec
lal elections to fill vacancies now
existing In both houses. It is believed
y many that the time will be too
short and that vacancies now exist
ing must remain vacant during a
special session. Section 2246, com
piled statutes, authorizes the gover
nor to order special elections but this
requires ten days' notice.
' The county board may take at least
three days to canvass the vote and
the state canvassing board, when
the district is made up of more than
one county, is required to canvass
the vote on legislators within ten
days after the vote is certified by
county clerks. Some contend it would
take thirty days to obtain a special
election.
Section 2240 also contains this
proviso: "Provided any vacancy in
either house of the legislature dur
ing a regular or special session there
of shall be filled by the governor
within five days after said vacancy
occurs by appointment of some quali
fied person of the same political affi
liation as the previous incumbent
from the district in which the va
cancy has arisen."
Only six vacancies are said to have
actually occurred since the regular
session was held. One or two tem
porarily living cut of their districts
claim membership in the legislature,
and their rights have not been questioned.
How Do You
Fit into the Com
munity Picture
Are You Doing: Your Share to Help
Promote Progress or Just
Letting George Do It?
In Chamber of Commerce articles
last wck much mention was made
of what the organization as a whole
has accomplished during t lie past tw
rears, at a minimum of expense, am
without the sssistanee of costly out
side secretaries.
That meant a lot of our busy busi
ness men bad to give more than mon
ev it meant a personal sacriticc on
the part of all me officers and com
mittee beads which in time taken
from the conduct of their own af
fairs. It denotv's genuine interest in
Plattsmouth and a desire to see the
town advance.
Any paid secretary can come in
and create a great stir, shouting loud
and long at so much per shout but
when voi see men taking time from
their business to sing the praises of
ihrir citv and then digging clown in
their pockets for money to help pay
the expense of putting over the pro
gram thev have lormulated. you can
instantly recognize they are not actu
a ted by selfish or ulterior motives.
On the other hand, Mr. Citizen
how do vim fit into this community
picture?
It isn't necessary that a man be
long to the Chamber of Commerce to
show his interest in ami fedelity to
his home town, but almost invariably
when he reaches that stage in com
niunity boosting, no one lias to even
ask him to come into the Chamber
tf Commerce he welcomes the op
portunity of being a member of this
progressive body.
The "drive" for memberships for
1!3 is now making great progress
Nearly everyone the committee visits
accepts his membership card gladly
and with a feeling that the small
investment he is making in com
muuity progress will yield great re
turns.
How do you fit into the comniun
Ity picture? Are you satisfied with
I tin profile you present in the eyes of
your f e 1 1 o w -1 o v n s me n ?
FIRE AND PARROTS
It is uillicult to think of a more
horrible way to die than by fire.
It was once pointed out by a great
scholar that the' progress of civiliza
tion is made only over the dead
bodies of pioneers. So, too, the pro
gress in fire prevention and protec
tion seems to await horrible fire
caiasiropnes to arouse consciousness
of the fire danger. In 1929 the red
hand of fire snuffed out many lives
In an editorial of January 17
1930, the New York Herald Trib
une pointed out that the public con
cern over the so-called parrot fever
was ouite out of proportion to the
seriousness of the problem. Suppose
a dozen people in the United States
had really died of Psittacosis, or par
ioi iever; mere are at least twice as
many deaths due to fire each day and
oniy i nose actively working to pre
vent fire seem to worry about the
appalling loss. Attention is directed
to just eight recent fires that caused
serious loss of life:
rue in iiussian motion picture
theatre caused death of 120. persons;
in a hotel at Amarillo. Texas, 5; in
Cleveland Clinic, 124; in explosion
and hie in hastman Hospital, Can
ton. China, 80; in fire test at Gilling-
liam England, 15; in cabaret in De
ii on, ii men ami y women were
burned or trampled to death; in fire
in paper box company, Balimore. 4
women died; in New Year's Eve fire
in motion picture theatre in 'Paisley,
tcotian. 72 children were trampled
or smothered to death.
In the United States, fire takes an
annual toll of 10,000 lives and $500,
000,000 in property losses, according
to Rational Board of Fire Under
writers.
A large percentage ot deaths from
fire occur in homes. This is hard to
understand in progressive America
where so many fire preventions are
within the reach of the average
household. Homes can be made com
paratively saie against fire and the
life hazard greatly reduced.
GIVEN JAIL SENTENCE "
From Tueadtj'd 13JVy
This morning the complaint of
the State of Nebraska vs. Frank
Biggs of Eagle was heard in the
county court. The young man had
made settlement of the amount of
a check that bad been made by him
and on the recommendation of the
bankers and others interested in the
case, the court permitted the with
drawal of the original complaint and
the substitution of another and less
severe charge In the matter. On the
plea of guilty made in the case the
court gave the sentence of thirty
days in the county jail.

94,510 British

United States
Quota Under Origins Law Filed,
With Thousands on Wait
ing iLst
Washington Figures for the first
six months' operation of the Na
tional Origins uota Act show con
ciusiveiy mat it nas effected its pur
pose of increasing immigration from
(Sreat Britain and Northern Ireland
Besides this it has stablized Kuro
pean immigration on the basis of the
respective contribution of each nation
to the racial stock of the United
States.
Cabled figures received by the
passport division. State Department,
from London show that a large wait
ing list has accumulated despite the
fact the new law nearly doubles the
British quota. The National Origins
Act, after years of discussion, finally
went Into eftect June 3. 1929. Oppon
ents oi ine act charged tliat the en
larged British quota would not be
filled, but cables to the State Depart
nieni reveai mat mere are now
75.196 registered applicants to fill
the remaining 37,449 vacancies in
the British quota, while officials in
London estimate the total demand at
94.510. The National Origins Act in
creased the British quota from 34,000
to 65,721.
The State Department reports
much confusion over the status of
the British quota, due to unfounded
charges that it is not being filed.
Such charges are attributed to mis
understanding of two elements in
tne computations on which quotas
are now allocated. In the first place,
visas are held valid for four months
after issuance so that every fiscal
year a certain number of aliens who
received visas in that period do not
enter the country until the next fiscal
year, leaving an apparent vacancy
In the second place, the law pro
vides that only 10 per cent of a quota
shall be distributed each month, to
prevent an early stampede again giv
ing the erroneous impression that
quotas are not being exhausted. The
State Department reports that the
British quota has actually been com
pletely issued each year for the last
nve years, under the 1S9 0 census
quota basis; and that there is every
prospect that the enlarged quota will
be similarly issued.
The national origins law has al
ready wrought a revolution in the
percentages of liens entering the
United States from respective Euro
pean countries. The major increase
Into a specific country went to Great
Britain and northern Ireland; the
major decrease occurred in the quota
of the Irish Free State, reduced from
28,567 to 17,853.
No country has been more affected
by American quota laws than Italy.
Italian immigrants outnumbered
those from any other country in
days before the war when 1,000,000
aliens poured through Ellis Island
annually. Under the new law tne
Italian quota is onlv 5802 a year.

Three
Slayings in Day Brine Ulti
matum to Halt Bloodshed
One Near School
Chicago, 111., Feb. 4. Joseph Bic
cere. a grocer was shot to death in
his South Side apartment tonight,
supposedly by extortionists, bring
ing the number of Mayings in Chi
cago since last Wednesday night to
six.
Biccere's slayers had smothered
the sound of their shots by increas
ing the volume of a radio to which
the victim had been listening.
Mrs. Elizabeth Padzunias, living on
the first floor, said Biccere had been
in her grocery store early in the
evening to get a magazine and that
she had heard the tones of the radio
rise above their normal volume.
Biccere'.T death came only a few
hours after Philip M:irchese, petty
hoodlum and killer, had been slain
in a West Side alley near a school
by two men who ued after empty
ing their guns in the head and back
of their prey.
Children attracted by the shooting
ran to find Marchese laying face
downward in a nool of blood. They
excitely pulled a Jire alarm and the
firemen notified police.
Henry Iovino. 21. who said he
saw the shooting, told police he saw
Marchese, known ?o bin only as
"Phil," walk down the alley and then
saw two men jump from behind a
ftedgo and fire.
The slaying of Marchese was the
second shooting today and added to
the public indignation which had
brought forth an ultimatum from
State5s Attorney Swanson, demand
ing that Commissioner of Police
Russell employ "most drastic meas
ures" to halt the bloodshed.
Gangland's first outburst today
was the shooting of William Ileal;,
37. hoodlum and former convict.
He;
in
