State Men Here
to Check Up Old
, License Plates
Making Trip Over County to Locate
Those Who Are Driving Un
der Old Licenses.
Those wbo are operating trucks or
cars under license plates of the 1934
vintage are in for more or less trou
ble as" the result as Btate represen
tatives arrived here Wednesday to
make checkB on those who have been
following this practice.
The officers Wednesday made a
check in the vicinity of Union and
secured several persons who had
failed to secure the necessary plates
to operate their cars.
The procedure is to see that the
proper license is secured and in some
cases prosecutions are made for the
violation of the state law that pro
vides for the use of the proper license
plates.
The officers work over the state
and cover all counties at some time
of the year to check up on the li
censes and see that the law is not
violated.
Sea the goods you ouy. Catalog
descriptions are flowery enough,
Cut how about the goods when
you get them?
IT'S EASIER to SAVE MONEY
on food when you buy it where it's of good quality
. . . and therefore eliminate the expense of waste!

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.
RETURNS FE03I HOSPITAL
Mrs. Hamilton Mark, who has
been at an Omaha hospital for the
past ten days, returned home Thurs
day evening and is now recuperating
at the family home in this. city. Mrs.
Mark has undergone a second oper
ation in a short space of time for
a serious glandular trouble which
has affected the neck and shoulder
of the patient. While still weak from
the effects of the operation it is hoped
that the patient may goou bo able to
be on the highway to complete re
covery from her trouble.

ENSURE WITH
Tax Receipts
Reveal Gain in
Federal Income
Federal Revenues May Keach Eesti
nates for the Year Made by
President Roosevelt.
President Roosevelt's revenue es
timates for the current fiscal year be
came a step nearer realization with
an announcement by the treasury
that receipts through February had
amounted to $1,913,465,375 a gain
of 1341,479,005 over the comparable
period of last year.
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.
Liquor Estimate Close.
Meanwhile, the treasury reported
that February's tax receipts amount
ed to $181,620,797, a gain of $7,
584,961 over the same month last
year. i
Alcoholic beverages have returned
$267,340,274 during the first eight
months of the present fiscal year.
In his budget message the president
estimated all alcoholic beverage taxes
for 1935 as 392 million dollars, while
returns of $390,670,000 are forecast
on the basis of eight months' receipts.
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.
ASS COUNTY RECOGNITION

sistance board, meeting hero with

A celebration marking the success of a school show by Northwestern Uni

an early hour Sunday morning when fire broke out in the club. Six persons were
burned to death and 34 seriously injured. The fire was attributed to an over-heated
toaster. Crepe paper streamers and wall decorations caused the blaze to spread to
all sections of the large room almost instantly. Many were trapped as the frantic
guests jammed the main door, which ope ned inward instead of outward. The top
