Senate Sustains
Veto of Shoals;
Gets into Jam
General Scramble Follows to Get
Through Disputed eMasures
Galleries Filled
Washington, D. C, March 4. Re
fore crowded galleries the Seventy
first congress plugged away early at
the final tasks of a session that ends
at noon.
Finis was virtually written in the
senate at 11 o'clock last night when
in quick order it voted to sustain.
34 to 49. President Hoover's veto of
the Muscle Shoals bill and then pass
ed a conference report on the last
of the appropriation measures the
90 billion dollar second deficiency
bill. This also was passed by ths
house and sent to the White house.
The measure carries 760 thousand
dollars for a federal building at Oma
ha. With these out of the way, there
was a general scramble by senators
to squeeze through scores of legisla
tive proposals still in dispute.
In the senate a filibuster by Sen
ator Thomas (dem.. Okla.). who in
sisted on action on his resolution for
an investigation of the oil industry
kept the members present until 1:12
a. m., when Thomas consented to a
recess until 9 a. m. An agreement
war reached that he would still have
the floor when the senate reconvenes.
The house was kept in session un
til 2:15 a. m., by a prolonged fili
buster over the veterans' hospital I
zaiion expansion program. The house
set 9:30 o'clock as the reconvening
hour.
There is little hope of any real
results when both branches recon
vene later this morning, but it is ex
pected the clocks will be set back to
permit seme measures to ne acten
upon.
A Filibuster Evident.
In the senate, before a recess was
agreed on, senator Jones (rep..
Wash.) pressed for adoption of the
house maternity and infancy meas
ure but a filibuster was on against
it. led by Senator Tytlings (dem.,
Md.) and its prospects faded.
Senator Reed (rep.. Pa. was wait
ing an opportunity to bring up the
house bill drastically restricting im
migration and leaders of both parties
were prepared to lend full support
to this.
The Vestal copyright measure al
so was still pending in the senate and
Senator Mebert (rep.. R. 1. 1 was de
termined to seek its possage.
Crowds Attracted.
The blazing lights that signaled
from the capitol that congress was
in its last night session of the Seventy-first
congress attracted thou-

sands of persons during the eve
ning, and even as the clocks point
ed toward midnight hundreds
jammed the galleries, or pushed to
ward the entrances.
The Muscle Shopls bill, the second
approved by congress during the long
years of controversy over operation
of the government's 150 million dol
lar power and nitratfc plants, was
killed when the senate sustained the
veto administered by President Hoo
ver earlier in the day. The vote was
a majority, but short of the two
thirds necessary.
Several hours of debate before
packed galleries preceded the roll
call which was reached at 10:25 p.
m. Southern democrats contended
Hoover had violated his campaign
pledges by vetoing the ni'.l and Sen
ator Xorris (rep.. Neb.), author of
the measure, said the president was
'with the power trust."
Debate Fills Gallery.
Senator Glenn (rep.. 111.), the
only senator to raise his voice in
support of the president, denied Mr.
Hoover had violated tils campaign
promises and praised his "courage"
for vetoing the bill.
The debate drew the biggest crowd
the senate galleries have held this
season, with long lines of men and
women waiting their turn to get In.

the bill follows:

CURB TRADING IS ACTIVE
New York Curb stocks respond
ed readily to the best buying of the
year last week, altho reactionary
tendencies on Friday and Saturday
pulled many of the leaders down
from their highs. Trading was ac
tive, especially on Thursday when
sales crossed the million share mark
for the first time this year. Utilities
moved briskly while the rise was at
its height, with particularly vigor
ous demonstrations in United Light
"A" and Electric Bond Share. The
rally in the latter was tempered some
what by forecasts of smaller 1930
learnings for its important client
company, American and Foreign How
ler. Associated Gas issues came
strongly to the fore with the an
nouncement that the holding corpor
ation had completed payment, esti
mated at $ 0,000,000, for the ac
quisition made in this state nearly
two years ago. Consolidated Gas of
Baltimore was also prominent in the
advance.
Oils continued dull and heavy, but
considerable attention was given the
investment trust group, which, with
the petroleum shares, had been neglected.

Within the next few weeks the at
tention of the legislature will be di
rected towards the proposal now be
fore the state senate which Is in
tended to make it possible for the
people of Nebraska and more partic
ularly the owners of automobiles to
secure, within a few years, at least
2,500 miles of paved highways in the
state. It is fathered by Senators
Rodman and Van Kirk, and is a pro
posal independent of the good roads
association movement.
It proposes to issue debentures or
certificates of indebtedness against
the state highway funds for a total
of $25,000,000 to' bear 5 percent In
terest and to be retired at the rate
of $2, 500, 000 a year beginning with
the fourth year after they have been
issued, and $5,000,000 for each of
the last three years of their ten year
maturity. These are not debts or
obligations of the state, and hence
no vote of the people is necessary
upon the proposal.
The entire issue of debentures
will not be sold at once, it being
the purpose to issue $8,000,000 to
first year, the same sum the second
year and the remaining $9,000,000
the tird year. The following table
will show the indebtedness at the
end of each year, and the interest
payments required.
Indetbedness
At End of Yr. Interest
First yr. $ 8,000,000 $ 400,000
Second yr. 16,000,000 800,000
Third yr. 25,000,000 1,250,000
Fourth yr. 22.500,000 1,250,000
Fifth yr. 20.000,000 1,125,000
Sixth yr. 17,500,000 1,000.000
Seventh yr. 15,000,000 875,000
Eighth yr. 10,000.000 750,000
Ninth vr. 5,000.000 500.000
Tenth yr. 000,000 250,000
No increase in the present 4 cent
gasoline tax rate is contemplated.
The funds to pay interest and re
tire the bonds will be derived from
the three cents of the four that state
highways are now drawing, the 30
percent of the registration fees the
fund now receives and federal aid.
the proceeds of the certificates of in
debtedness being used as the attach
ed table, which gives a bird's eye
view of the entire financial setup,
will show.
The highway fund's three cents
share will produce revenue for the
current year of $7,000,000. It is
estimated that for the future an in
crease of 7 percent or $300,000 a
year may be safety counted upon.
This increase may. be greater as the
amount of paving increases. It is
figured that the registration fees will
also increase in an amount that jus
tifies setting down the 30 percent
division as yielding $1,200,000 a
year. At the present time there is
available $0,350,000 federal aid for
this year, and after that $2,644,000
a year. Congressional action practi
cally insures the continuance of thi9
sum for six years, and in the calcul
ation no money from this source is
counted for the last two years.
The cost of construction per mile
of paved roads, including grading
and drainage structures, based on
records of the highway department,
is estimated at $28,000. while that
of grading, drainage, structure and
gravel costs $2,500 per mile. From
the same records it is estimated that
maintenance of the state highway
system will cost $3,500,000 the first
year, $3,000,000 and the second
year, and $2,750,000 the third year
and each year thereafter. This mav
be increased by addttional miles of
gravel roads and decreased by ad
ditional miles of paving. These two
items will about offset each other.
Since the roads that will be paved are
already graveled the number of miles
of graveled roads at the end of each
year are equal to the number of
miles the previous year plus the
number of miles graveled that year
less the number of miles paved.
WELFARE OFFICIAL HERE
TO THE FARMERS OF
THE MEDDLE WEST
In the early winter I started my
Free Employment Bureau, my plan
being to send you men who, for the
winter months, would be willing to
work for room and board.
On this basis I hare sent out over
four hundred men And families.
Judging from reports received from
men, I have sent out, as well as some
of the parties I have sent men to my
plan can be called ft success.
I would like to continue this work
indefinitely but it is getting close to
spring and Henry C. Glissmann and
Chas. O'Brien, both practical farmers
who have helped me all winter in
the selection of these men for you.
will have to terminate their work
here March 15th so I am making this
last appeal to you.
Write men what help you need,
stating the kind of work expected,
also what you expect to pay as wages
after spring's work starts.
Up to that time these men will
work for board and room, if assured
of a Job after that.
We can furnish single men, boys,
married couples without children, to
both work, also men with families,
to live in separate house some haying
their own furniture. All men are
closely investigated and are picked
for your particular Job by Messrs:
Glissman and O'Brien. Write me at
once if you need help- My room is
full of men every day who really
want work. Yours truly,
GEO. HOLMES of Omaha.

Lloyd W. Longnecker, secretary
of the Nebraska Prison Welfare so
ciety, of Omaha, was in the city
Tuesday in the interest of his organi
zation nnd also boosting a proposi
tion that is very close to Mr. Long
necker, that of preserving the wild
bird life of the state as well as help
ing the men who have been released
from prison after paying the debt
imposed by the law on them.
Mr. Longnecker is urging in the
eastern part of the state particular
ly the preservation of the Bob White
or quail, which bird is being fa3t
exterminated from the state that was
once one of the habitutes of this game
bird. The friend of the wild fowl
states that there are but a few places
over the stnte where the birds can
be found in anything like their for
mer numbers and this in the north
east part of the state. He is urginc
the importation of a large number
of the birds from Minnesota to be
released in different pavts of Nebras
ka and again to repopulate the quails.
The birds live in close communities
and unless moved their stock gradual
ly deteriates through the breeding
and makes necessary the breaking up
of the colonies of the quails or the
introduction ot the new birds from
other sections.
Mr. Ixmgnecker is also much in
terested in the move to have a scenic
drive from Nebraska City north to
Omaha that will traverse the bluffs
along the Missouri and make a real
scenic drive that will be the equl of
any in the great west.
