Demand for Acreage Property
The predirtion made about a year
ago by a Linloln real estate dealer
that the East O street paving would
create a demand for acreage and su
burban hemes, on, or near, the pave
ment, is holding true. At least two
inquiries have been made for acreage
homes near Eagle. One is from a re
tired farmer who wants a small place
where he can keep a few head of live
stock and chickens something to oc
cupy part of his time. The other is
frcm a man whose work is in Lincoln,
but who desires to be out where his
family may raise a part of their liv
ing by means of a garden, a cow,
chickens, etc.
The opportunity is here to capital
ize on this demand and secure a good
ly number of such suburban residents
along the O street paved highway,
who will find it easy to go to and
from their work in the city and yet
live in the great outdoors far removed
from the crowded conditions of the
city. Why not make the most of it,
and turn the attention of prospective
land seekers to the advantages of lo
cating near Eagle, one of the best
little towns on the highway.

Arthur Mullen
Denies a Report
He will Resign
Republicans in Meantime Suggest In
quiry on Alleged Lobby Pro
posal for Legislation.
Washington. Republican senators
pitched their own ideas into the party
disturbances of the democrats, pro
posing that President Roosevelt's ob
jection to members of national com
mittees practicing law in the nation
al capital be backstopped by congres
sional legislation and suggesting a
lobby investigation on Capitol hill.
Rumors cf further resignations with
in the democratic national committee
floated about administration offices.
Close on the heels of the resigna
tion of Robert Jackson, New Hamp
shirz national committeeman and sec
retary of the organization, came a re
port that Arthur F. Mullen, Nebraska
committeeman, might resign. Mullen
said he contemplated no such action.
The proposal for legislation to pro
hibit members of national political
committees from practicing law be
fore any governmental agency came
from the Michigan republican, Van
denberg. He introduced in the sen
ate a bill designed to effectuate such
a legal restriction.
Joseph II. Choate, jr., federal al
cohol control adinistrator, a New
York republican, told newspapermen
that various well connected demo
cratic lawyers had written letters to
him making requests in behalf of
clients, but that "none of them ever
got anything out of it." He refused
to mention any names.
A second republican, Robinson of
Indiana, in an address charged ad
ministration control of radio, and told
the senate: "I do not know if Mr.
Farley (chairman of the national
committee and postmaster general) is
among the men referred to by the
president as engaged in lobbying ac
ivities here at the capitol, but this re
minds me to say that in my opinion
the loboy committee ought to be re
vived, resolutions ought to be auopt
ed providing again for such a lobby
committee as we had a few years
ago."
The committee at that time, head
ed by the late Senator Caraway, con
ducted a general niquiry into lobby
ictivities.
The rapid lire -change? within Xli
democratic organization .appeared to
have left those within ths organiz
ation in a state of perplexity. There
was an absence of any ideas as to
candidates. There was, however, a
definite feeling about the capital that
there v. ere but two men directing any
reconstruction of the committee,
either under way or about to be put
under way, Presdient Roosevelt and
Farley.
State Officers Silent.
Governor Bryan was absent from
his office Thursday on a mission not
disclosed and other state officers re
fused to express themselves on the
ethics involved in the position of
Mullen, who is practicing law at
Washington as attorney for corpor
ations before federal departments and
courts.
Recent magazine articles carrying
Mullen's name and picture have had
eager readers at the capitol. Gover
nor Bryan has in published inter
views, without mentioning names,
used caustic terms in discussing those
who earn commissions at Washing
ton. Rumors have been heard for
some tie at the capitol that Mullen
would be asked to resign his mem
bership on the democratic national
committee. Judge J. J. Thomas,
chairan of the state democratic com
mittee, now at Washington as an
active member of the federal reserve
board, has continued to represent the
state committee, altho there has beei;
discussion as to whether he would
resign before the next state conven
tion selects his successor.

Emergency Funds Will Be Exhausted

eral emergency relief adminsitration
and the civil works administration.
both headed by Harry L. Hopkins,
would be exhausted by Feb. 11.
Included in the vast emergency
request will be 350 millions for Hop
kins to carry on his relief activities
thru the spring, civil works until
May 1, and emergency relief grants
to states into the summer. If con
gress grants the presidential request,
however, the administration expects
to place additional thousands on the
civil works rolls as a result of this
week's hour reduction order.
Communities of less than 2,500 and
rural areas have been permitted to
reduce the working hours of persons
on civil works projects to 15 hours
a week and to employ other persons
to take up the difference. Civil works
employes had been working 30 hours
a week.
One of two reasons for the change
was that employment agencies in
many such areas had four or live
times as many persons on their lists
as there were jobs. The other, and
what many here considered the most
important, was the fact that civil
works wages often were higher than
the wages authorized under NRA
codes and also higher than farm
wages.
There recently was a dispute be
tween Hugh S. Johnson, NRA admin
istrator, and Hopkins over the wage
question. Hopkins advocated higher
wages, and fixed a scale that would
permit earnings on civil works jobs
ranging from $15 a week upward
according to the skill and type of
work. He adopted the rules of the
public works administration, which
is supplying 400 millions tor civil
works projects.
Complaints poured in from all
side3. President Roosevelt said Wed
nesday they had resulted in a study
of the best means of preventing civil
works wages being so high that work
ers would be tempted to leave pri
vate industry or the farms. The pres
ident said Hopkins was correcting
this situation thru lessening work
hours instead of cutting rates of pay.
The admonition of President Roose
velt at the inception of the civil
works program against any political
favoritism also has made trouble for
Hopkins. There have been frequent
complaints on that score by both dem
ocrats and republicans, Hopkins dis
closed. He said in some instances
there had been evidence of favorit
ism. Hopkins several weeks ago removed
all county civil works representatives
in Wisconsin because in each instance
the county administrator was the
democratic party county chairman
Investigations are under way in Penn
sylvania and California of charges of
political favoritism and other irreg
ularities. It has been charged that in the
Pittsburgh area city councilmen in
186 municipalities were on civil
works payrolls as foremen, and that
in one instance a man who drew $2,
000 a year as a member of the Penn
sylvania state legislature was a civil
works foreman in a Pittsburgh ward.
held by everyone in the community.
At the conclusion a neat sum which
had been taken up was presented to
Mr. and Mrs. Rauth to be used for the
purchase of whatever they might
think most proper. Again, on the fol
lowing evening, they were guests for
supper at the home of their friends,
Mr. and Mrs. John A. Stander, and
following the supper in came a host
of their friends who were wise to
the fact of the anniversary and their
being supper guests at the Stander
home. So another most pleasant even
ing was spent. In departing all ex
tended be3t wishes for a long and
happy life.

Washington. A new liquor law

Senator Warns Recovery Program
Will Fail Unless Anti-Trust
Laws Are Ee-enacted.
Washington, Jan. IS. Joining
Senator Nye (R.), North Dakota, in
attacking alleged monopolistic tend
encies under the NRA, Senator Borah
(R.), Idaho, warned in the senate
Thursday the administration's recov
ery program would fail unless the
anti-trust laws are re-enacted and
enforced.
Nye had threatened a senate in
vestigation of the NRA unless codes
were quickly revised in the interest
of the consumer and the small busi
ness man, but Borah said this would
rot be enough.
Hs demanded the anti-trust laws
be restored, contending they would
not be in conflict with the NRA.
. Expected Attaci.
The long-expected attack on NRA
policies by the two republican Inde
pendents brought tha recovery ad
ministration under senate fire for
the first time.
Borah warned that administration
of the NRA would affect every other
administration policy, including
monetary changes and public woiks
appropriations.

DOES NOT HARM THE HEART
"One of tho most vicious
examples of coercion by a large
monopoly of smaller producers is
the domination by the General
Electric Co., said Nye.
"In tho formation and admin
istration of the electrical code,
tho dominant position of Gen
eral Electric, as a producer of
incandescent lamps, is not only
maintained but strengthened."
Borah said:
"It is proposed to approprl
ate large sums of money for
public works, but who will get
the money if prices the laborer
must pay are constantly in
cerased? It will be of very lit
tle benefit to him."
Hits "Steel Trust."
Borah hit out at the "great steel
combine" and said under the pract.ee
of sitting around a table and "agree
ing oil the b''ds" for government
work, the government only rcceiveu
one bid from these interests.
"Millions of dollars are being ex
torted from the pockets of the masses
of the common people," he asserted,
"for prices fixed by combines and
trusts, notwithstanding provisions of
the codes."
Borah Eaid the bids submitted for
fteel rails to Railroad Co-ordinator
Eastman were' within b'rie ritiar'ter of
a cent of being "identical."
Senator Glass (D.), Virginia, said
"thousands of struggling industries
are being driven out of business" by
the codes.
Borah replied he did not believe
President Roosevelt would stand for
tucli a policy and it was he in the
end who would "decide the policy."
