Landon Asks for
Recovery as the
Foremost Need
Governor Whirled Thru Iowa with
Crowds Greeting Him on Way ;
Takes Slap at Spending.
Aboard Landon Train En Route
East. Gov. Landon campaigned
across Iowa from the rear platform of
his train, contending that recovery
and jobs are the fundamental issues,
talking about crops and ' rain and
shaking hands so hard he lost his
Masonic ring.
The republican candidate's special
departed from Council Bluffs a little
ahead of schedule, but it lost time
steadily as new stops were added and
stops stretched out longer than
scheduled. A blazing sun shone down
thruout most of the day, but Gover
nor Landon left his air conditioned
car promptly as his train whistled
into every stop. lie waved his hat
to the crowds, talked to them, smiled
broadly and shook as many upstretch
ed hands as he could before his train
pulled ou tagain.
He left orders that he was to be
called so he could at least wave his
hat should a crowd of any size form
at stations along the railroad at
which stops had not been scheduled.
"Governor Landon," said Harrison
Spangler of Cedar Rapids, assistant
to the national republican chairman,
"received a mighty fine reception in
Iowa. It convinces me even more
that Iowa will go Landon and repub
lican this fall."
Hard Year for Agriculture.
"When we have a hard year for
agriculture like the present one," the
governor reiterated at several stops,
"we realize our wants and our neces
sities. "One of the fundamental
principles of the republican party
in this campaign is to promote re
covery and provide jobs. If any meas
ures will provide jobs I'm for it, and
if there is any measure that will hin
der recovery and hinder re-employment
I am against it." !
Governor Landon spent his sec
ond day of speaking in the state
whore he will meet his democratic
opponent face to face Sept. 1 at the
president's Des Moines drouth con
ference with governors of Iowa, Ne
braska, Kansas, Missouri and Okla
homa. All, including Governor Lan
don, said they would accept the pres
ident's invitation. i
The Kansas governor received his
bid at Carroll, la., after a relay from
Topeka, Kas. Earlier Landon said:
"As I said before, I will accept."
Two of the men who will accom
pany him to the conference were
named. They are Prof. V. E. Grime,
head of the department of economics
and sociology at Kansas State uni
versity, and Dean L. E. Call of the
university's school of agriculture.
STATE BELOW AVERAGE
Director Tolen of the state assist
ance committee has received a report
from the federal social security board
showing an average paid in June in
34 states for old age assistance was
$1G.02. Nebraska for that month was
listed as paying an average of $15.33.
Tolen said Nebraska's report for July,
just compiled by him, shows this
state paid an average of $14.71 for
that month. The federal report for
June credits Nebraska with paying
20.5S3 persons a total of $315,586
for the month. The total number
paid in ,34 states was G35.395 and
the total amount for June was $10,-
1 SO, 642. The June report shows pay
ments and averages for old age by
other states: Missouri, 15,449 per
sons, average, $8.95; Iowa, 29,584
persons, average, $14.54; Colorado,
7,983 persons, $22.32; Wyoming, 2,
243 persons, average $21.01; Minne
sota, 37.647 persons, average, $18.53.
Nebraska has paid old age assistance
to 221 persons per 1,000 aged popu
lation 65 years of age or over, Mis
souri to 53 per 1,000, Iowa 142 per
1,000 and Colorado to 304 per 1,000.
Cash farm income in Nebraska for
June, including benefit payments,
was 97 percent greater than in June,
1933, or nearly double, says the state
and federal division of agricultural
statistics. Farm income was 29 per
cent greater for the first 6 months of
193 (J than for the same period last
year. For the United States as a
whole, farm income, including benefit
payments, in June was 32 percent
greater and for the first six months
of tne year, 9 percent greater than
for the same periods last year.
Nebraska farm income for June to
taled $23,S8S,000 against $12,145,-
000 in June 1935, a gain of 97 per
cent. This includes benefit payments
in the amount ow $5,077,000. De
ducting benefit payments, the gain
in income for June was approximate
ly Co percent, and for the first six
months of the year, the farm income
was 44 percent greater excluding
benefit payments.
This is a remarkable showing for
Nebraska, said A. E. Anderson, con
sidering that last year's corn crop
was considerably below half of the
average and of very poor quality, and
that the winter wheat crop was about
two-thirds of the average and oats
and hay were the only crops that
were nearly normal. The large in- j
crease in farm income shows how
rapidly Nebraska can come back
when farmers receive fair prices for
their products. The returns so far
this year do not show the effects of
the present season's severe drouth,
which will be reflected in later In
come. Had this year's production
been average, it is fair to say that
Nebraska would have been in splen
did condition. Altho the purchasing
power of farmers' products is still 10
or 1 percent below that of the pre
war average, it is almost double that
of a few years ago. Since 1934 was
one of the worst crop years in the
history of the state and since produc
tion last year was considerably be
low average, taking all crops as a
whole, the improvement reflects the
marked advance in prices of farm
ers products, which are now within
10 or 12 percent of the so-called
parity price. ,
Forthe United States as a whole
the farm income for June was 28 per
cent greater than in June 1935, ex
clusive of benefit payments. Farm
income for the first six months of
the year, exclusive of benefit pay
ments, was nearly 15 percent great
er than during the same period In
1935.
TREATY HITS AUTO THEFTS
Washington. A treaty designed
to end the activities of automobile
stealing "rings" along the Rio Grande
border is under negotiation between
the United States and Mexico. State
department officials said the propos
ed antismuggling pact which may be
signed in the near future was plan
ned to prevent the driving of stolen
cars across the 1,G00 mile boundary
between the two nations, and to fac
iliate the recovery of stolen cars
transported across the border. '
A simliar treaty with Canada, in
effect ten years, has resulted in a
reduction of the number of stolen
cars transported across this nation's
only other land border, and expedited
their recovery by eliminating much
red tape. The federal bureau of in
vestigation has reported that in 1935
it recovered 2,930 automobiles that
had been transported across state
lines. Many of the cars were stolen
by organized syndicates that special
ized in driving the machines to dis
tant cities for sale.

NEW GYMNASIUM FOR DOANE
Crete. In view of an aunauthor-
Ized statement published in certain
state papers Aug. IS, under a Crete
da,te line, regarding the proposed
new gymnasium for Doane college
and contajning . certain statements
that are both inaccurate and mis
leading. Acting President J. E. Tay
lor authorizes the following statement:
"It is true that on Aug. 1, a good
friend of the college, recognizing the
emergency, made a generous condi
tional offer toward raising a fund
necessary to build a permanent and
for some years to come, adequate
gymnasium for the college. A vig
orous campaign was immediately car
ried on and thru the generous re
sponse of many friends, pledges were
secured to meet the conditional offer.
Meanwhile, the architect was at work
on plans and specifications, but ob
viously no definite announcement
could be made until these plans were
approved by the college authorities
and bids were secured within the
limits of the budget raised. The
architect's plans are now in the hands
of prospective bidder. It is expected
that by the end of this week bids
will be in hand. If the bids are with
in the budget subscribed, and if oth
er conditions are acceptable, it is ex
pected that the contract will be let
and work begun within the com
ing week.
"Anyone who has known of the
condition or the old gymnasium
which was built some 20 years ago,
largely by gifts and work of students
and teachers, will understand the
need of the new building and will
share with us the hope that the pro
posed undertaking can be carried
thru to completion before the com
ing basketball season."

Washington. Extending provi
sions of previous orders, the Inter
state Commerce commission author
ized six railroads to transport live
stock at sharply reduced rates from
areas in Kansas, Montana, Nebras
ka, the Dakotas and Wyoming to
feeding points fn nearby states.
The rates are 85 percent' of the
regular charge on livestock shipped
from the drouth areas, and 15 per
cent of the regular rate when it is
shipped back.
Under the supplemental order, the
rates will apply to all counties in
the Dakotas, 65 counties ir. Nebras
ka, 52 in Kansas, 36 in Montana and
16 in Wyoming.
Livestock may be shipped to avail
able feeding grounds in Colorado,
Idaho, Illinois, north of the Illinois
river, Iowa, Kansas, upper peninsula
of Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri,
Montana, Nebraska, the Dakotas,
Washington, Wisconsin and Wyo
ming. At the same time the ICCC broad
ened the low-rate area, it extended
from June 30, 1937, to Sept. 30,
1937, the deadline for reshipment
of livestock from feeding areas to
the drouth territory.
Railroads affected by the order
were the Santa Fe, Rock Island, Kan
sas City Southern, M. K. & T., Mis
souri Pacific and St. Louis-San Fran
cisco. The ruling covered the following
counties in Nebraska:
Adams. Antelope, Banner, Boone,
Box Butte. Boyd, Brown. "Buffalo,

Hyde Park. A post election con
ference of farm organizations to
study an effective approach to the
problems of crop insurance and rural
credit was suggested by President
Roosevelt as he continued to survey
drouth relief needs.
Crop insurance and rural credit
are two of the key items of the legis
lative program of the national
grange, and Louis J. Taber, master of
the grange, said they had been em
phasized, along with drouth prob
lems, in an hour's conference with
the president and Secretary Wallace.
"The president and Wallace,"
Taber" told the reporters afterward,
"suggested it might be a good idea
to call a conference of farm organ
izations and other interested parties
after the election to consider an in
telligent approach to both these prob
lems, crop insurance and rural credit.
The president gave assurance that
the administration was studying
something sound in this regard."
The grange, Taber said, is advo
cating a crop insurance program car
ried out thru federal state co-operation
at a cost of around 25 million
dollars a year. The cost would be
much lower than for the present
method of drouth relief, he said.
Wallace, who is expected to ac
company Mr. Roosevelt on a trip to
the drouth parched midwest start
ing Tuesday night from Washing
ton, conferred with the president
privately about drouth conditions,
but had nothing to say for publica
tion afterward.
The itinerary for the drouth states
tour was virtually completed during
the day, but the president was hold
ing up its announcement until all
details were final. White house aifles
said they expected to make it public
Friday and at the same time dispatch
invitations to drouth state governors
for a series of conferences with the
president on his swing thru the dust
bowl. The president said some time
ago that Governor Landon would be
included, and the Kansan indicated
he woul daccept.
Mr. Roosevelt planned to enter per
sonally into the campaign for his
re-election before starting for the
Dakotas. James A. Farley, chairman
of the democratic national commit
tee, was expected at the president's
home here Friday or Saturday.

TRUCKERS GIVEN WARNING
Commissioner Pollen of the state
railway commission said : "There
have been COO applications to date
for certificates of convenience and
necessity made to this commission by
truckers ingaged in interstate busi
ness, having "grandfather" lights un
der the commission's resolution 111.
The commission is well aware of the
fact that this is a very small number
of the operators in Nebraska Vho are
entitled to apply under the "grand
father" provision.
"All truckers who were transport
ing for hire within the state of Neb
raska on or prior to April 1, 1936,
will automatically be issued a certi
ficate of convenience and necesity to
continue this business, providing ap
plication for such a certificate is re
ceived in this office not later than
Aug:. 29, 193G. It is very important
for all truckers to take note of the
fact that any applications received
after Aug;. 29, will be considered as
new applications, even tho in fact the
.operator may have been in business
for a considerable period of time.
"All such new applications will re
quire a hearing; and the applicant
will be required to prove public con
venience and necessity in order to
receive his certificate. Furthermore,
all persons desiring to do so will
have an opportunity to object to the
granting of such new applications.
No fee is required at this time, and
furthermore, under the commission's
.resolution 141, it is compusory for
all common cariers for hire by motor
vehicle to obtain a certificate of con
venience and necessity. Truckers
should act at once and delay no long
er. By so doing they will protect
all the rights they now enjoy other
wise the same might be lost."
