Omaha.- Mrs. R. L; Cocnran, wife
of Nebraska's governor, urged Thurs
day that Nebraska, "which has pio
neered so many things," take the lead
in the development of a state library
system that would be an example to
all other states.
In an address before a rural, sec
tion of the Second district teachers
meeting, Mrs. Cochran promised she
would do everything In her power,
within the coming year, to help
brine about the organization of a
state system. Her particular interest,
she said is In seeing library facilities
made availale to the rural schools
and communities.
"The people of Nebraska, and the
legislature in particular, are- more
concerned over the institutions of
higher learning than In the rural
schools, which train the majority of
our boys and girls. Over 64 percent
of the assessed property is rural, and
there are more than twice as many
people in rural as in urban districts
"There Is only one way to have
statewide library system, and that is
to have it supported by taxes," she
said. "If we can develop a library
system second only to our school sys
tem, then we can have books to meet
the needs of both school children and
adults. It can be developed if you
teachers and the mothers and fathers
of Nebraska are interested enough."

Session Opens Monday.
Governor Cochran is as much at
tached to the gas tax and against a
sales tax for raising funds for old age
and assistance as he was before At
torney General Wright gave an opin
ion holding that the special legisla
te session is not confined to any par
ticular source of such revenue, but
may adopt any method they desire.
"We expect to confine the sources
of taxation for that purpose to those
designated in the call, and the admin
istration will be just as much op
posed to a sales tax as before," said
the governor.

She opened an attic door slightly and
as the bees entered a lower , room she
used a gas to kill them. Hundreds
of them died.
LOST ARTICLES
There were a number of articles
lost during the King Korn Karnival
which have been left at the Wescott
clothing store to await their owners.
These have not been claimed and
anyone who lost articles during the
karnival should call and look over
those left at the store.
President Roosevelt told the nation
Thursday night that relief "furnish
ed by funds received from taxation
should decrease as rapidly as hu
man needs will allow."
Appealing by radio to the nation
to participate in the 1935 mobiliza
tion for human needs, Mr. Roosevelt,
speaking from Washington, reported
that private Industry Is "taking up
the slack" in unemployment.
He asserted that the September em
ployment gain of 350 thousand in
private industries reporting to the de
partment of labor was "the largest
for any single month in the past
year and a half."
Eut this pick-up, he declared, was
all the more reason to give to charity.
Work Is Emphasized.
In addition to decreasing govern
ment relief, the executive said it was
of greater importance that private
charity should take over the duty
completely of providing means for
those physically unable to work.
"But we do want to emphasize
'work, " he said. "Neither private
charity nor government relief wants
to help people who can work but who
wont work.
"There is only one legitimate ex
cuse for unwillingness to work and
that is bad health or advanced age.'
"Good Neighbor" Aim.
Speaking from Detroit on the same
program, Gerald Swope, chairman of
the mobilization, suggested the "good
neighbor" policy as the keynote for
the drive to raise 75 million dollars
for private relief agencies.
Swope declared "we may truthfully
be said to be convalescing from the
depression," but he warned that
while "the barest necessities have
been provided" for the need', mil
ions of individuals are today facinj;
the more difficult, more intricate task
of physical and spiritual rehabilita
tion."
Mr. Roosevelt said the September
gain brought employment in the re
porting industries to the level of No
vember, 1930, and pay rolls back to
the level of May, 1931.
"Taking Up Slack."
Recently," he continued, "I ex
pressed the hope that private Indus
tries would strain every nerve to in
crease their pay rolls, increase tne
number of those whom they employ,
and thus take from the federal gov
ernment and their local government a
great share of the burden of relief.
The figures which I have cited
lead me to a great confidence that
private Industry is living up to my
hopes. We seem to be taking up the
slack."
Reminding the nation of the work
relief program intended to take 3,-
00,000 off direct relief by providing
them with Jobs, Mr. Roosevelt said
he expected during the "coming
months" to see the "great majority"
of the employables back at work.
"Best Foot Forward."
The president said he could "prop'
erly congratulate and thank" the peo
pie for their "splendid response to
the appeal in the years of "deep de
pression from which we are happily
and rapidly emerging."
"Even those industries which were
long backward in showing signs of
recovery," he said, "are putting their
best foot forward. The so-called
heavy industries, for example, show
encouraging signs of improvement.
Employment in this so-called durable
goods group is now C2 per cent high
er than it was in the spring of 1933;
their weekly pay rolls are 139 per
cent greater; and this represents a
net increase in employment of 1,185,
000 men and women, and a rise of
over 40 million dollars in weekly
pay rolls."

declared here it "would practically
require a revolution in the United
States" for the state to take over

Medical Journal was discussing the
pending federal relief survey of the
health of 750.000 families.
"I am apprehensive, he declared,
"that this survey will be used as
propaganda on behalf of socialized
medicine." He questioned the scien
tific accuracy of the survey to be
made by persons taken from relief
rolls.
Instead of socialized medicine, he
suggested the "prepayment plan."
"The prepayment plan," he de
clared, "protects the public so far as
quality of medical care is concerned
by guaranteeing free choice of the
best doctors and hospitals by the pa
tient."
