Farmers Must Wait for Refund of Loan Fees Commissioner Bollen's Colleagues Seek to Place Blame on Him for the Delay. Rail commissioners Drake and Maupin Friday denounced as delay ing for an indefinite period the time that farmers will get their corn loan inspection refund the action of Com missioner Bollen is going Into court seeking an injunction permanently halting the operation of the bill pass ed by both houjses. Commissioner Bollen retorted by saying that it will shorten the time since the de cision in the case will settle all dis puted questions, and that State Treasurer Hall had told him he would not draw the $123,000 warrant be cause it was not drawn as an appro priation bill. "This injunction action is not a surprise to the majority cf the com mission," said Drake. "This will now delay the refunding of this money to the farmers. It is a fair example of the lack of co-operation In the corn loan program from the start, a matter which we had to overcome at all times. The legislature passed this law with only one dissenting vote, and Governor Cochran signed the bill im mediately. The attorney general ren dered an opinion that there were no legal obstacles to the method of pay ment. This commission on Tuesday unanimously approved the plans of procedure, and ordered the necessary blanks. There was no dissenting vote, but now one member throws this money wrench into the proced ure. Tne iarmers snouia Know wno is holding up the return to them of surplus funds." The commission was ready to be gin work of refunding the excess fees in the corn loan," said Maupin. The proper blanks were ordered by unani mous vote of the commission. The commission unanimously instructed its accountant, Mr. Rund, to prepare the lists, employ the clerical help and rush the work. The whole plan of procedure was unanimously agreed to, and the commission ad journed. Now comes one member, previously agreeing to the plan, with a petition for an injunction, re straining the commission from pay ing 43,000 farmers the money that rightfully belongs to them. "I hope those farmers and all oth er citizens of Nebraska, will under stand why the work of refunding these excess fees is being unduly de layed. It is merly one commissioner trying to impose his will upon the other two commissioners, and mak ing trouble when he falls." Mr. Bollen said that he has satis fled himself that there are legal ob stacles in the way, and that he is not accustomed to substitute another's judgment for his own. The law places upon him a legal liability for the safekeeping of the money that he is not willing to assume. Boliea and State Auditor Price, who is the defendant, agreed to stitpulte in the Lancaster county dis trict court for immediate hearing of the suit, and hoped the heading could bo set for tarly next week. The case probably will be appealed to the su preme court.

The annual budget message esti mated the year's receipts at $3,197, 000,000. Receipts for the first eight months of the period have been at the rate of $239,000,000 monthly, which would indicate total receipts for the year of only $2,869,000,000 If the present ratio were maintained. However, treasury officials said that the remaining months are among the most lucrative, due primarily to the fact that the first Installment of income taxes on 1934 incomes are duo in March, a levy which is ex pected to return at least 300 million dollars before March 31. Says Prosperity Sign. On this basis, responsible officials are known to believe strongly that the budget estimates will be reached. On Capitol HilU the treasury fig ures evoked even more robust en thusiasm. Speaker Byrns declaimed "we're out of the depression," and then added: "There's nothing gives a better in dication of the true-condition of busi ness than tax payments." Other democratic leaders said they believed congress might not be con fronted with the necessity of immed iately laying new levies. j In line with this, a move to pre vent re-enactment of the federal ex cise tax of 1 cent gallon on gaso line which expires in July was under way in the house.

Tobacco taxes have returned $300, 350,035 for the fiscal year to date, an increase of $26,405,391 over last year, while the manufacturers' excise or "nuisance" taxes, which it is pro posed to continue, brought $217, G34.172, a decrease of $47,308,697.
