The radical change in the weather
is expected to put folk3 in a more
Chrismasy frame of mind, a condi
tion rather hard to attain in warm
ful ldays such as we have been having.
In accordance with the recent Supreme Court decision
in regard to Senate File No. 33, passed by the 1931 Legisla
ture, Trucks will now be classified as (1) Commercial; (2)
Local and (3) Farm. Due to the fact that this decision was
made only a few days ago, we will not receive our Truck
plates until December 20, or perhaps a little later.
Last year, with the co-operation of the auto owners of
this county, we were able to issue all the licenses without hir
ing any extra help, thereby saving the county about $300.00.
I do not intend to hire any extra help this year. Therefore,
all persons ordering license plates by mail should order their
plates at least one week before February 1, if they wish to
drive their cars after that date. The 1 933 Passenger plates
are now in our office and are ready to be issued. The fees on
Passenger carsj are the same as in 1 932.
The following is a list 'of thefees for Trucks and Trailers
for 1933:

SAYS WIEE-TAPPINS
13 "VILE" PRACTICE
The ahominable practice of ob
taining evidencs by tapping tele
phone wires met with the censure it
deserved in a Boston liquor cane,
when Federal Judge Lo-.vell bitterly-
denounced it in his charge to the
jury. Judge Lowell, disdaining the
use of polite phrases, said wide-tap
ping i3 "contemptible" and "vile"
and that, under its usage, Uncle Sam
became a "sneaking cur" instead of
an "honorable, upright gentleman."
Although the United States su
preme court, in June, 1S28, held that
evidence obtained by wire-tapping is
admissible in prohibition cases, the
counlrywide protest against such in
vasion of the citizens led Attorney-
General Mitchell and Major Wood
cock, head cf the prohibition unit,
to discountenance it. Justice Bran-
dois, dissenting from the majority,
had said: "If the government be
comes a law breaker, it breeds con
tempt for law it ;invites every man
to become a law unto himself; it in
vites anarchy." That sentiment, rath
er than the majority opinion, was
followed by Mitchell when it was pro
posed to clean up Washington by sub
jecting the people to unreasonable
search and seizure. Mr. Mitchell
said:
"The government, by violating the
constitutional rights of citizens,
should not be placed in a better posi
tion than it otherwis would be. In
the long run, nothing will be gain
ed." Despite tho attitude of Mitchell
and Woodcock, dry agents have per
sisted in endeavoring to eend men
to prison with evidence obtained
from wire-tapping. The jury in the
Boston case, following Judge Low
ell's denunciation, disagreed, though,
If a less hardy jurist had presided,
one less devoted to our constitutional
principles, the "contemptible" de
vice might have worked. Wire-tap
ping has been practiced recently in
St. Louis and East St. Loui3 (Illinois
law makes it a felony) and a series
of cases built upon that kind of evi
dence is now pending in local fed
eral courts.
Happily, we are at the close of the
prohibition era. but we must be care
ful that its legacy of violations of
the bill of rights must . go with it
If not, the same means used to trap
bootleggers might worm their way
into general acceptance, destroying
the constitutional guarantees on
which our freedom is based. So long
as we have men on the bench of
Judge Lowell's fiber, however, the

tion stone of Anglo-Saxon freedom.

OLD TIMES RECALLED
BY TIBBIES PAPEES
Personal papers and manuscripts
preserved by the late Thomas H. Tib
bies, which have just come into the
possession of the Nebraska historical
society, are a valuable addition to the
records of that organization for the
facts they contain bearing upon the
rise of populism and the free silver
movement during the 1890s. This
state played a central part in both
developments, as a result of which
it gave to the nation a new political
leadership in the person of William
Jennings Eryan.
Mr. Tibble3 was an active figure
in building up the populist party not
only in Nebraska but in other west
ern states. As an editor, Washing
ton correspondent, and political
speaker he had much to do with
building up a powerful public opin
ion that eventually turned many of
these states away from their long
established political moorings and
laid tho foundation for important
changes in governmental policies
and practices.
He wa3 closely associated in Ne
braska with such men as Charles H.
Wan Wyck, who had previously serv
ed in the United States senate as a
republican; William V. Allen, elected
senator in 1893 by a combination of
cVmocrat3 and populists in the legis
lature; W. J. Bryan, then congress
man from the First district; George
v, Uergc, several times a candidate
for governor; Silas A. Ilolcomb and
W. A. Poynter, both of whom were
elected and served in the guberna
torial dice, and others almost as
prominent.
ITis political activities also brought
Mr. Tibbies into personal contact
with Tom Watson of Georgia, Igna
tius Donnelly of Minnesota, James
B. Weaver of Iowa, Jerry Simpson
and Mary Ellen Lease of Kansas,
Mar!on Butler of North Carolina and
many other notable exponents of
populism.
William II. Harvey, who turned
the country upside down in the mid
dle 90's, with hi3 free silver treatise,
"Coin's Financial School," and thus
helped Bryan to gain national ascend
ancy in tho democratic party, was
one of Tibbies acquaintances and
friends. Though Harvey, one of the
few survivors of his era, cut only a
sorry figure in his lato presidential
candidacy, he wa3 a real power in
national politics 35 yxra ago. .
Clarence S. Darrow 'of Cbfca'go,
by the way, was . among the Inde
pendent thinkers who cast in their
lot with the ponul:st3. That was
what first brought him into the pub
lic eye.
Those were the personalities who
altered the currents of American
thought as applied to government.
They were the first to challenge forc
ibly the trend toward monopolies
and centralization of wealth, the free
pas3 system by which railroads then
controlled public officials, and the
widespread corruption then existing
in the administration of national and
state affairs.
Some of the things demanded by
the populists were the issuance of
giecnback currency to relieve debt
or:?, popular election of United States
relators, the Australian ballot sys
tem, the graduated income tax, pos
tal savings banks and government
ownership of the railroads. Though
their party Jorganization, a3 such,
failed to achieve any of these objects,
most of them were afterward taken
up by the other parties and are now
the law ot the land. Lincoln Star.

NOT ENOUGH TO DISTRIBUTE
Mr. Long of Louisiana returns to
the senate with the declaration that
the election of Mr. Roosevelt must
be Interpreted as a mandate for re
distribution cf wealth in the United
States. Aside from the merits of the
question and possible differences in
interpretation of the election, it is to
be hoped that Mr. Long has given
attention to another matter. It is
the disappearance cf wealth in the
United States, rather than its redis
tribution. Perhaps Mr. Long noted some fig
ures in the annual report of the sec
retary cf the treasury, made public
just a few days ago. They showed
that the number of taxpayers with
income3 of 100,000 or more had
dwindled from 15,780 in 1928 to 6,
152 in 1930 and to only 3,142 In
1931. Also, the number of those with
incomes of $5,000 or more dropped
more than 27 per cent from 1930 to
1931, while the amount of taxes paid
by this class declined nearly 50 per
cent. There are other figures of like
import, coming down only to last
year. What will be the report for the
current year?
What the country needs Just now
is reviewing business to produce more
wealth, for everybody rather than a
redistribution of the wealth that is
left.

THE FAMILY FARMER
"I expect to see tho large farms
split up Into little ones," says City
Attorney Wright by way cf post-depression
prophecy to the Omaha Real
Estate Board.
Large and little are elastic terms
which admit of a good deal of var
iation. By little, Judge Wright cer
tainly does not mean suburban acre
age, and by large, he doubtless would
rot Include everything above a quar
ter section homestead. If he is pitting
the family operated farm against the
so-called industrialized or semi-industrialized
farm, the phenomena of the
depression seem to bear him out.
In spito of tax delinquencies and
mortgage foreclosures and other ills
that afflict the small farmer as well
as the large it is the family operated
farm which seems to be standing the
depression with greatest fortitude. It
is the industrialized farm that is flat
on its back. We haven't hear! a peep
out ' of Tom Campbell, the agricul
tural engineer, about hi3 95 thousand
aero wheat and fiax farm for months.
Only yesterday the industrialized
farm was having a great play. Effi
ciency, mass production, modern in
dustrial methods represented the nut
cracker which wa3 going to extract
the kernel from the farm relief prob
lem, according to it3 publicists.
Wheat, as we recall cne of the boasts
about Mr. Campbell's efficiency,
couldn't go so low that he couldn't
beat it with lower production costs.
Prof. Pitkin of Coiumbia wrote a
magazine article, rot so long ago,
either, in which he referred to family
farmers as "quarter-section half
wits." His agricultural hero was
Hickman Price, who wasn't a farmer
at all but a business man who left
his good industrial job to manage a
22 thousand acre wheat farm in the
Texas panhandle. Now Hickman Price
is broke and his creditors have the
farm, but they don't know what to
do with it. Eventually they will prob
ably cut it up and dispose of it tc
"quarter section half-wits."
Even the farmers were getting a
little frightened at the menace of cor
poration farming and so recently as
two years ago they were wanting the
legislature to enact laws which would
prevent corporations from running
the family farmer off the land and
organizing it on an efficiency basis
with its reputed low production costs.
The danger appears to be past. It
i3 the inefficient little farmer whose
acres are under his immediate per
sonal control and who doesn't have
to support anything but a family and
maybe a hired man who is standing
the gaff. He is standing it best, be
cause when necessity drive3 he i3 bet
ter able to adjust himself to circum
stancs than tho manager of a big one
crop corporation farm. He may not
be able to match production costs
with the big one-crop farmers, but
his milk cows, his kitchen garden,
his pigs and poultry flocks not only
provide him with supplementary rev
enue, small though it may be, but
also supply him dircctiy, without the
intervention of a middleman, with
much of his first necessity, food.
Russia has been trying industrial
ized farming under soviet direction.
Industrialization has been successful
beyond the dreams of five-year plan
ners, but food production ha3 been
a failure. A national food shortage
is one of the chief features of the
celebration of the close of the five
year plan. Crops have been short and
there has been an alarming disap
pearance of live stock.
The American farmer has been
cruelly punished by the depression.
Individually he has suffered untold
economic hardship. He has been com
pelled to default on interest, rent and
tax payments. lie ha3 seen his prop
erty sold to satisfy the claims of mort
gage holders, ho has seen it offered
for sale to satisfy tho demand of the
tax collector. But as an institution
ho has been taking it with remark
able fortitude.
The family farmer is the heart and
soul of American agriculture. He is
so because he is endowed with love
for the land, love"for lifo on the land
and love for possession cf it in small
parcels from which hs and his boys,
yes and his women, too, can wrest
its rich fruits. We cannot believe
that he is ever going to be replaced
by a system of factory managers di
recting the work of laborers whose
sole interest in the soil is so many
days work for so many days' wages.
