the Acid
ICK stomachs, sour stomachs ard
indigestion usually mean excess
acid. The stomach nerves are over
stimulated. Too much ackl makes the
stomach and intestines sour.
Alkali kills acid instantly. The best
form is Phillips Milk of Magnesia; one
harmless, tasteless dose neutralizes
many times its volume in acid. For 50
years the standard with physicians
everywhere.
Take a spoonful in water oid your
unhappy condition will probably end
in five minutes. Then you - ill always
know what to do. Crude and harmful
methods will never appeal to you. Go
prove this for your own sake. It may
save a great many disagreeable hours.
Get the genuine Phillips Milk of

prescribed for 50 years."

Bryan Takes
Side of the
Truck Owners
Governor Brands Truck Bill as Meas
ure to Prevent Cut in
Freight Rates
Governor Ifaryan announced Friday
that he will take part in the cam
paign being waged by the Nebraska
Transport association of truck and
bus owners against the truck and
bus bill, S. P. 33. which has been
referred by a proper petition to a
vote of tbe electors of the state at
the November election In 1932. The
governor vetoed the bill and it was
passed over his veto and i3 now re
ferred. An action is pending in the
district court of Lancaster county
for a declaratory judgment to estab
lish whether the bill is suspended
pending the election.
This suit was filed by Attorney
General Sorenaen who stated that
the bill contained safety provisions
and that safety measures are not
suspended pending a referendum.
Governor Bryan said h'e discussed
the bill in his address the day before
at Nemaha City and will discuss it
Friday night in an address at a com
munity picnic at Lindsay, and on
thru the referendum campaign.
"I consider the truck bill one of
the most detrimental to the interests
of the people ever passed in years,"
said Governor Bryan, "in overrid
ing the veto the legislature humili
ated the people to an extent never
before, in that the railroad lobby
served refreshments, consisting of
ice cream, to members before they
voted on overriding the veto. In my
opinion the bill is one to destroy the
competition of trucks, and the bill
increase truck rate materially be
cause of the raise of license fee 600
percent in some instances, and by re
ducing the size, dimensions and car
rying capacity it seriously handi
caps trucks. The bill will Increase
license rates to farmers at least
$2tK.niO a year and increase the
amount farmers will have to pay
trucks for transporting livestock and
other products of the farm hundreds
of thousands of dollars a year.
"I recommended a referendum peti
tion at the time I vetoed the bill. 1
have co-operated to yrev?nt the law
from taking effect until after it has
been voted upon by the leectors of
the state. The constitution estab
lishing the referendum is clear and
explicit against the legislature forc
ing upon people something they do
not want. It provides for suspension
of all such bills. The bin cannot be
considered as a safety measure nor
an appropriation or revenue bill, nor
was it so considered by The railroad
lobbf behind it. It was denied in the
house of representatives that it was
a revenue bill. That was ont taken
into consideration. It was a bill in
tended to prevent a reduction in
freight rates."

POLICY CHANGE PLANNED
Moscow Addressing the confer
ence of the Moscow machine building
Industry, M. Milutin, assistant chair
man of the state planning commis
sion, declared that soviet Russia in
tended to devote more of the na
tional income to the improvement of
living standards of the masses dur
ing the second five year plan than
it has during the first.
"During the first five year plan,"
he said, "we spent every penny on
industrialization, in which we have
been so successful that we shall
have more than fulfilled the plan's
major parts by 1931.
"Notwithstanding the fact that
the salaries of workers have been
doubled since 1929, we cannot go
further without bringing about a
complete cultural revolution in
creasing the technical knowledge of
the masses, improving housing con
ditions and creating better living
conditions as a whole.
"We shall spend proportionately
in tbe new five year plan for improv
ing the living standards of workers
and peasants as we spend on indus
try. Under the capiatlistic system,
men arc- meant for machines; here,
mac hines are meant for men."

on Failed Bank
Suggests No Politics and Says De
positors Should Approve
the Receivers
Lieut. Gov. T. W. Metcalfe, win .
home is in Omaha where four state
banks recently closed, has written
Governor Bryan a letter suggesting
that the state should liquidate failed
banks in an orderly, economical and
honest way for the best interests of
the depositors, that the appointment
of receivers and agents should be
entirely divorced from politics and
the depositors themselves should be
consulted, so that confidence of the
people in the future may be gained.
He believes the depositors should
have a right to approve or disapprove
the receiver to be appointed. He
says: "Local receivers familiar with
local conditions accomplish more at
leas cost than politicians aid others
who are merely seeking a job and a
source of income."
The letter closes:
"Equally important as honest,
efficient and economical liquidation
of the failed institutions is a strict
examination of those banks which
are now n operation. Banking insti
tutions should not be allowed to con
tinue to operate one minute after
they are found insolvent. The de
claration of the state banking de
partment that the hank was in good
condition should mean just that and
