Nebraska's first unemployment compensation bill was being drafted Friday at Lincoln. Based on a tentative record of busi ness and labor Interests, It will be presented to the special session of the legislature to supplement the fed eral social security act. First details provide a maximum payment of $225 to an unemployed person in any one year. To finance the program, employers would be tax ed .9 of 1 percent on their 1936 pay roll, 1.8 per cent of 1937 pay rolls and 2.7 per cent on pay rolls each year thereafter. Employes would be taxed one-half of l per cent in 1936, 1 per cent in 1937, and 1.5 per cent each year thereafter. Tax Schedule. , The tax would apply to every bus! ness with one or more regular em ployes. The feleral government will tax employers in all states 1 per cent in 1936, 2 per cent in 1937 and 3 per cent thereafter, but allows offsets up to 90 per cent to employers who con tribute to a state system. First payments to persons thrown out of work would not be made until 1938, as provided In the federal act. First state tax payments, estimated to total more than $2,400,000 on the 1936 tax scale, would be due in Janu ary, 1937. 50 Per Cent Maximum. A person thrown out or work would be allowed payments of 50 per cent of his normal wage, with a max imum payment of $15 a week, but for not more than 15 weeks in any year. Before becoming eligible, however, he would have to have been employed for at least 400 hours in the preced ing 52 weeks or at least 800 hours in the preceding 104 weeks by the same employer. The plan is not unemployment in surance but "unemployment compen sation." Taxes paid by each employer and his employes would go into an individual fund. If that individual fund was, exhausted, "'no draft's ? would be permitted on the taxes paid by an other employer. Whenever the Individual fund reached 7 per cent of the pay roll, taxes on its contributors stop, resum ing again when the fund fall3 below 7 per cent. Dual Benefit. Conferees see a dual benefit in this plan. ' Employers, they said, would try to stabilize employment in order to keep from replenishing their funds. Employes, it was argued, would co-operate in helping dis charged persons find other jobs in order to prevent depletion of the fund. The plan adopts exemptions sug gested by the federal act. No taxes or benefits would be involved in the case of agricultural workers, chil dren and employers, or employes of governmental agencies or education al, religious or charitable organiz ations. The peak unemployment in Nebraska in recent years is estimated at 75,000 but only a fraction of these would have qualified. Payments would not start until at least three weeks after the bene ficiary loses his job. No person would be required to take the place of a striker, nor would a striker be entitled to payments. Commission of Three, The plan would be administered by a commission of three, appointed by the governor one representing employes, one employers and the third a neutral person. No salary was decided, but $3,600 is a tenta tive figure. The bill is being drafted by George E. Price, Lincoln attorney, who draft ed the senate's bill last session. He expects to have it ready about Sat urday noon, when It will be present ed again to the conference. At Thurs day's conference were representatives of the Nebraska Manufacturers asso ciation, the Nebraska Federation of Labor, the Lincoln and Omaha Cen tral Labor unions, the Iowa-Nebraska Light and Power Co., the Northwest ern Bell Telephone Co. and business men of Lincoln, Omaha and Beatrice. State Labor Commissioner V. B. Kin ney presided. If the business and labor concord continues, Governor Cochran is ex pected to endorse their bill. J. Howard Davis Attorney at Law Plattsmouth AUTO IS AIR CONDITIONED New Orleans.: Tne first air-conditioned auto and plans for air-conditioning buses to compete with cooled railroad coaches were announced at a meeting of the national association of motor bus operators. A five-passenger car has been hunting the hot spots and hte dirty ones all summer between Buffalo, Chicago and New York. Its air was cooled on the hot test highways. There was never any dust inside. Its passengers were free even from hay fever pollens. It is convertible in winter, to carry its own custom made, warmed climate; free of dirt, comparatively pure of the respiratory infections. 'Newer Deal is Asked by the Towns end Forces J Leader Given Vote of Confidence at Convention After Salary of $50 Is Revealed. Demands for a "newer deal" the Townsend plan were raised by a battery of speakers before the first natinoal convention of the Townsend clubs being held at Chicago. Spurred by the hair-trigger ap plause of delegates estimated by their leaders to number 7,000, the orators asserted there would be no perman ent recovery until checks for $200 a month were sent from Washington to all people of 60 and over as the Townsend plan ordains. The aud ience also cheered denunciations of the national social security act pen sion provisions. Four of the seven men who ad dressed the afternoon session were twenty to thirty years under the eligibility age set out In the program but they appealed to the nation's youth to support the movement. "We dbrf't need a new deal, but a new deck," declared Ralph II. Higgins of Seattle, "that new deck is the Town send plan." The old political formulas will no longer work," said Charles T. Mur- dock of Pittsbunrh. "The. Townsend plan is honestly offered as a perman ent cure of depressions." The delegates turned a third vote o fconfidence in their leadership into one of the noisiest demonstrations of the conclave. '-' vi- ; ' It came after j receipts of the 23 month old movement were set at $636,803 in the report of Auditor Ray McAlister. Of this, he added, Dr. Francis E. Townsend, father of the plan bearing his name, had received $7,532 a salary of $50 a week with $100 available for traveling expenses. R. E. Clements, national secretary, declared: "It has been charged that Dr. Townsend pocketed $600 of this money. It is a damnable lie. Every cent has been accounted for."

Given by School district No. 45. Alice Wiles, teacher. o28-2tw-2td recognized as the style center of the world, offers some new and striking styles. New Styles Sophisticated Sophistication is the keynote of the smart ermine wrap worn by Eleanor Powell, Broadway favorite whose dancing in her first movie caused a sensation. Full sleeves and a prin cess collar give the coat an appealing line. Ice blue satin lining, in strik ing contrast to the pure white er mine, creates a novel effect. The Grecian influence in current styles is well illustrated by the draped gown worn by Dolores Del Rio. Enormous pastel colored flowers relieve the dead black background of the gown which is built on strictly classical lines. Long trailing panels at the back of the skirt accentuate I the transparency of the black souffle waist and its huge sleeves, which are revealed by the halter. front of the Wyoming Cattle Men Have Plenty of Cash to Spend Have More Money Than They Have Seen for Several Years, Rancher Writes to Nebraskans. North Platte. Sid Moore, Laramie rancher, In writing friends here, re ports that farmers and cattle men in Wyoming have more money this fall than they have seen for several years. "The difference between the Hoo ver farm board and the new deal," he wrote, is: "The Hoover chairman, Mr. McKel vie, said to us farmers and cattle raisers: Shoot every tenth cow and plow under every third row of crois. "The new deal told us about the same thing but added: 'We'll pay for them.' That was different. The government could stand the loss while the farmer and cattle raiser couldn't. "Now if Mr. McKelvio had also told Mr. Mellon to dump out every tenth ton of aluminum that his v.ork ern produced, and tlio textile milis to throw away eery third yard of cloth, or third suit of clothes, that would have been different, too. ('But, of course, Mr. Mellon and the textile mills and other manu facturers couldn't stand the loss. And neither could the farmers and stock raisers afford to do the shooting and plowing under." Moore is a former resident of North Platte and a stunch Roosevelt sup porter. MUCH FRUIT CANNED Stella. Despite hot dry weather of Jafct gujnmer, house. wives of; this territory, canned much home grown fruit. Peach , trees were especially productive. New - Designs dress itself. Grecian scandals, made of crossed bands of black satin, are worn with this gown. The suave beauty of Mona Carrie is perfectly complemented by her sophisticated dinner dres3 of black cire satin with accents of white waffle pique. Severely moulded around bodice and hiu3. it billows into shining fullness below the knees, when in center front a loose trian gular drape, edged in white piaue, repeats the white revers of the bodice. Sleek simplicity is the motif of the garment. If one wishes to keen in sten with Dame Fashion this fall, she should wear beret of coque feathers and carry a tiny muff of the panic. Rochelle Hudson is shown, above. with such a set. The feathers are a natural shade, relieved by jade green coque feathers. Heavy plain gold clasp "and bracelet eet off the rest of the eensemble.
