Cleveland, Ohio One of the most
interesting questions raised in con
nection with the republican national
convention concerns what the future
course of the Grand Old Party will
be.
On many sides one heard predic
tions that the present two-party sys
tem of democrats and republicans
will eventually evolve into a con-
porvative aid liberal party with the
G. O. P. championing the principles
of conservatism.
The course of the new deal in the
past three years has done much to
identify the democratic party with
progressivism. Social legislation en
acted by the new deal and the lib
eral program of President Roosevelt
and his administration stand out in
sharp contrast to the traditional
caution and reactionary views of
ii any republican leaders.
Revision of Parties Urgsd
There are many who feel that the
present political setup is meaning
less. They claim that there is no dis
tinction between the platforms and
principles of the two major parties.
It is their contention that the vot
ers should have the opportunity of
choosing between parties whose po
litical programs represent contract
ing sides of public issues. They point
to the conservative and liberal par
ties in England in support of their
ai guinent.
Many of the issues which were
once moot questions have been over-
. shadowed by problems raised by the
depression. One of the principal
issues of the 1936 campaign and
one on which the two parties are not
in accord involves the administra
tion of relief and the extent to
which the government should be re
sponsible for the needy. v
Labor Threatens Third Party
Under the new deal, relief has
been taken over entirely by the fed
eral government and administered
through the centralized relief setup
headed by Harry Hopkins.- AVith the
republicans favoring delegation of
authority to the states, urging dras
tic reduction in relief costs and elim
ination of much of the public works
program, one finds the two parties
taking traditionally liberal and con
servative statnds. On other current
issues, such as managed currency,
crop conservation and farm aid, gov
ernment regulation of finance and
industry, the parties again line up
on contrasting lines.
The fact is that the new deal owes
much of its present strength to the
support of organized labor and the
progressives may force the democrats
to definitely come out as the liberal
party. If the democrats should con
tinue in power another four years
and if they fail to satisfy these fac
tions by enacting the liberal legisla
tion they demand, it is conceivable
that a third party based on a coali
tion of liberals and labor would come
into existence, possibly under the
leadership of John L. Lewis, presi
dent of the United Mine Workers.

home of her sister, Mrs. Fred Troup,

The program which was held at

school alone and proved to be a most
excellent entertainment and one well
worthy of the Bible school and its
sponsors.

ing a very neat sum in all to be

few miles from Murdock, and who
suffered severe injuries from an auto
collission recently, has so far recov
ered that he was able to come to

is improving a little each day, he
feels that his progress has been
quite slow.

looked so much like rain, but didn't,
there was stirred up a small twister
that passed near the home of Mrs.
A. A. Lindell, tearing the roof from

ute in the specifications. A test was
also made of the well at the school
house, but this fell far short, pro
viding only 5 gallons per minute of
continuous pumping.
Now, it has been arranged to try
another test well, which will be
sunk in the pasture southwest of
town, near the home of Mrs. Neben,
in an unused street located within
the village limits. Drilling of this
well was begun last Wednesday in
the hope of finding an adequate sup
ply of water. In case this one fails
to meet the requirements, another
will have to be sunk. There is no
way of gauging supply until after
a well has been sunk and a test of
the water made.

opportunities came to her to show
the fine traits of her Christian char
acter and nursing skill.
She was united in marriage to Mr

Extension of time for the comple-
ion of first operations in getting land
transferred into soil conserving use
from June 15 until July 1 which wa3
nnounced in Washington was hailed
as of major importance to Nebraska
farmers by Fred Wallace, chairman
f the state soil conservation commit
tee administering the federal farm
program.
The new ruling will be especially
beneficial in many ways to Nebras
ka farmers, Wallace said. It will
provide counties more time to get
their initial office work completed
and in some cases farmers will have
their soil depleting bases by that
time which will greatly assist them
in co-operating in the Eoil conserva
tion program. Most farmers, how
ever, have already started their con
serving practices in co-operating
with the good as a matter of good
farming methods.
Under the new ruling, the land
must be in soil conserving uses by
July 1 if it is to qualify for grants
under the program. This means, Wal
lace explained, that the first oper
ations of summer fallowing are to be
completed by that time and that
turning under crops for green
manure purposes to qualify is to bo
also bad perennial weeds are to have;
their first operation finished also at
that time. Land not devoted to coil
conserving uses by July 1 will be
termed soil depleting.
Another interpretation placed on
the Washington ruling indicated tha t
July 1 is the deadline for change in
owner operators of farms. Those pur
chasing land after that date will not
be eligible to receive grants of
money for the farm practcilng soil
conserving methods.
