Killed the Bugs.
Bugs, Lugs, thousands of the red
bugs called many years ago, Harri
son bugs, and with the cold weather
that prevailed it would be thought
that they were all frozen, but when
Parker Otte sat in front of the store
on a bench the bugs swarmed over
him and going into the store he and
Sherman li.irdaway entered into an
c:ffensi.e and defensive act, and get
ting a gallon cf kerosene, they sat
urated the front of the store with
the oil and Sherman with a broom
began to demolish the hordes of pests
and after a season of hard work they
completed their battle and swept the
remains into the street. But we are
wondering if they were killed or
would they come again the following
day?
Political .avrttlng (Political
a
or Member legislature
Most important in the welfare of every citizen is good laws and their
enforcement. Legislators are chosen for the purpose of enacting
laws and all should vote personally on. all bills, for or against them.
I have been your representative during the last two sessions just
past and I desire to return to the next session that I may see written
into the Assembly rules a mandate compelling every member to per
sonally vote for or against all bills and not skulk in the cloak rooms.
I would have this rule enforced and an infraction punished by a
heavy fine and the name of person not complying with same placed
on dishonorable list. You have kept in touch with my work in the
two former terms and know where I stand on all major bills and
how I have stood as against wasteful squandering of the. Taxpayers'
money. If you agree with my work and my record, I ask your co
operation and .your support at the polls. Come, let, us work together!

Grand Island. "The right kind of
Americanism depends upon contacts
with the youth of the country; I wish

cial events, and takeare of the

al of mail robbery charges against
Tommy Touhy were denied by Fed
eral Judge Nordbye as the defense
opened its case with one of its chief
witnesses the wife of the defend
ant seriously ill.

ney's, said Mrs. Touhy was sneering
from heart disease. She collapsed in
a faint Tuesday outside court, where
she had been a daily spectator up to
tnat time.
She was expected to testify her hus
band was ill in Chicago when eight
men looted government mails here
Jan. 3, 1933, In contradiction of clos
ing testimony for the government
that Touhy participated in that crime
and shared the spoils.
Roach moved for dismissal of all
ten counts against the defendant on
grouns the government had failed to
prove its case by circumstantial evi
dence. This motion was denied.
NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING
Tangible evidence that the Con
tinental Oil company's heavy use of
newspaper space in its marketing ter
ritory during 1935 was a sound ad
vertising move is indicated in the
figures of the company's annual re
port for 1935 just issued.
These show that the company in
creased the volume of it3 general
business as well as its profits, and
that it enjoyed a notable gain in
the sales of its patented "germ-pro
cessed" motor oils. This product,
which was especially stressed in the
company's advertising, had an in
crease in sales of over 14 per cent,
In comparison with the figures for
the previous year.
Continental recently announced
that it would again expend the larger
part of its 1936 advertising appro
priation for newspaper space.

town.
Noland said "our police are power
less to cope with the situation" and

looting homes from whic hthe flood

trenched greed."

TO THE VOTERS OF CASS

A3 a candidate for Representative
for Cass and Sarpy counties, will say
I am 54 years old and have farmed
in southeast Nebraska for 30 years.
I realize that J am unknown to a
majority of the voters of my district,
but believe honesty and principle are
of more importance than personal ac
quaintance.
Not having been a former member

but am opposed to hampering sound
legislation thru political prejudice.
Let us have a short and efficient
V f -

session by eliminating useless legis
lation which is of no value to busi
ness or society.
I believe in financing old age pen
sions by a general sales tax, which
will operate on the buying capacity
of the public in general, rather than
upon the buyer of gasoline, as is
done at present.
There are not enough improved
"farm - to - market" roads for the
amount of gas tax collected in the
state. Instead of paved race tracks,
give us better roads in the rural
communities.
In short, let us have "Honesty,
Horse Sense and No Foolin' in Gov
ernment." ; ERNEST HANING.
Backer of
Lower Tax Hit
by Hard Times
Organizer of Support for a Cut in
Tax Levy Fails to Sign Up
J. P. Morgan.
Washington. J. A. Arnold, who
says he made the nation especially
the Bronx tax conscious, told the
senate lobby committee that hard
times had descended upon the busi
ness of soliciting funds for promoting
a public liking for low taxes.
Andrew W. Mellon helped his or
ganization the American Taxpayers
league to the extent of $1,000, and
two or three du Ponts chipped in
$10 apiece, but Arnold said he
couldn't "get a rise" out of J. P.
Morgan. Revenues have slumped
from $200,000 a year to $45,000.
The witness said his work did not
involve lobbying. Use of that word
distressed him deeply. He was en
gaged, he insisted, in molding pub
lic sentiment. He called the group a
"pole cat committee," when Senator
Schwellenbach (d., Wash.) suggest
ed that he had a "sucker list."
Meanwhile, new deal legal diffi
culties loomed for the committee as
the result of its practice of sub
poenaeing telegrams. It was learned
that suits of William Randolph
Hearst to end such activities might
e supplemented by injunction suits
brought by three other publishers.
The Western Union company, in
an answer filed to the first Hearst
suit, said the committee had "recall
ed, revoked and canceled" the sub
poena involved, and that therefore
it had no intention to produce the
telegram originally requested.
Representative McSwain (d., S. C.)
read a copy of a telegram given him
by the committee. In It, Hearst sug
gested a series of editorials calling
for McSwain's impeachment to his
chief Washington editorial writer,
James T. Williams, jr.
Hearst papers published another
telegram from Hearst to Williams,
saying of the first: "Whether accur
ate or not, it contains some remarks
about McSwain which a great many
patriotic citizens will be disposed to
endorse."
Committee members expressed be
lief that wealthy people and others
who contributed to Arnold's organ
ization got little or nothing in re
turn for their money, while he stuck
to a reiterated assertion that the
"greatest suckers of all" were those
who contributed to the democratic
party.
CARS CRASH NEAR NURSE
Omaha. Charles Rohwer, 58
Douglas county farmer, and Buster
Fox, Oakdale truck driver, couldn'
have selected a much better place
for their automobile-truck collision
Thursday night. Their machines
came together at an inn on the Dodge
road, and the wreckage smashed a
parked car belonging to Miss Rose
mary Tuttle, an Omaha nurse who
was inside conducting a first aid
class.
Miss Tuttle took charge of first
aid treatment for the two men and
Rohwer's 21 year old daughter, Lor
raine, and accompanied them to a
hospital in an ambulance. Rohwer
suffered head injuries and bruises and
Lorraine was cut and brrised. Fox
was only slightly hurt. Two hog3 in
Fox's truck were killed "when the
truck upset.
DANCE CASE UP TO COURT
Hastings, Neb. District Judge
Munday Friday afternoon took under
advisement a hearing on a writ of
error filed by Lib Phillips, amuse
ment park operator, against Adams
:ounty supervisors who declined to
grant him a dance license last Aug
ust. Attorneys were given 35 days
to submit briefs.
The supervisors first denied the li
cense, which was a renewal, then
granted one on the condition that
Phillips hold no Sunday dances
Phillips refused to abide by the Sun
day ruling and the license was denied
gain. County Attorney Nuss with
drew from the case after he gave an
opinion that the supervisors could not
prohibit Sunday dancing while the
state law allows it.
FIFTEEN OUNCE GIRL DIES
East St. Louis, 111. A 15-ounce
baby girl, born three months pre
maturely as its mother lay injured
in the street after being struck by a
hit and run truck, lost its brief bat
tle for life.
The tiny Infant, cotton swathed in

LABOR LEADERS ASS PEACE
London. Leaders of labor from fif
teen European countries, aroused by
fears of another world conflagration,
gathered here to demand peace under
a threat of collective opposition to
war. A total membership of 36 mil
lions, was represented by the leaders.
Two delegates from the German so
cial democratic party were among the
labor forces determined to combat
war. A series of secret meetings of
allied bodies prepared the stage for
a Joint session Thursday. Despite the
German representation, it was un
derstood French socialist members
have prepared a resolution condemn
ing Germany for re-militarizing the
Rhineland.
Leaders were yet wary of disclos
ing what measures would be used to
enforce their demands, but did not
deny they might be drastic. It has
been pointed out that the powerful
organizations represented could exert
a tremendous pressure thru the threat
of general strikes.

DEFENDS ACTS OF COMPANY
Washington. Violation of the
U. S. Steel corporation of a federal
trade commission order that the con
cern desist from the "Pittsburgh
plus" system of fixing prices was
charged by Chairman Vheeler (d.,
Mont.) of the senate interstate com
merce committee and quickly denied
by one of the corporation's vice pres
idents. Reading the federal trade commis
sion order of 1924 prohibiting use of
the system by which Pittsburgh was
the company's sole base point,
Wheeler asked Robert Gregg, vice
president in charge of sales:
"In your opinion do you believe
you are complying with that order?"
"I do," Gregg replied.
"I have to disagree with you," said
Wheeler.
Gregg added that after the order
was issued the company filed with the
commission a statement that it would
obey. "That statement has been
wholly lived up to," Gregg said.
