BONDS D1J PHONE- 16 IPLATT3MOUTH Taxes Needed to Carry on the School System Average Wage of Rural Teachers Over State Drops to $1.28 a Day for Lack Funds The startling assertion that the average rural school teacher in Ne braska is "now being paid but 1.28 a day is revealed by the Thirty fourth Biennial report of the Ne braska State Superintendent of Pub lic Instruction. The reason for this shameful record is largely attribut able to failure to collect tax money due .the various subdivisions of gov ernment state, county, city and school which depend upon and have little other revenue forthcoming with which to meet their operating ex pense. The advertisement campaign that has been formulated to instruct Cass county taxpayers, who have permit ted, through no fault of their own, the piling up of considerable back taxes, and advise tnem now oy pay ing now they may save the interest charge from date of delinquency up to March 19 of this year, the date the law became effective. From and after that date, interest begins run ning anew, however, on the full prin cipal amount of the tax. owed, so it is most important not to delay pay ment longer, for already nearly a half year's interest at 7 per cent per annum has piled up on that prin cipal amount only, which the legis lature saw fit to grant all delinquent taxpayers as of March 19, 1937. This legislative bill (known as No. 1 because it "was the first intro duced in the new Nebraska. Unicam eral legislature) has made it easy to pay delinquent taxes and a full un derstanding of this law has given many Cass county taxpayers who in former years were financially dis tressed, a clear insight into how they may, by paying their taxes now, save money and at the same time further the cause of good govern ment. A portion of the $45,000,000.00 in back taxes due in Nebraska today is laid directly on the doorstep of Cass county taxpayers. Cass county of ficials, particularly the commission ers and the city- council of iPlatts mouth, realize that payment of taxes now, under the provisions of Legis lative Bill No. 1 not only saves the taxpayer money, but makes for bet ter government and that is why they are sponsoring publication of the ser ies of tax Advertisements now ap pearing each Thursday in both the semi-weekly and daily issues of the Journal.

Ganz, recently elected secretary-treasurer of the two National Farm Loan associations. Mr. Ganz, who was elected secretary-treasurer of the two associations at a meeting of the directors on July 16. announced that the new method of operation is now in effect. Under this new program, all federal farm loan matters in Lancaster county and the western part of Cass county will be handled by the Lincoln office. While the two assoclatiosn now hold 1,748 loans totaling more than eight million dollars, the Lincoln office will continue to serve the farm mortgage needs of farmers desiring long-term credit, he pointed out. Under the new plan of operation, which became effective September 1, the associations will receive regular allowances from the Federal Land i-ank of Omaha sufficient not only to pay all operating expenses but also to build up reserves as protection against future contingencies. The secretary-treasurer emphasized that there is no legal consolidation of the associations under the new p':an. Each group retains its own set of books, its own board of directors, and its assets are kept independent of the other group. The plan simply centers the office work of both asso ciations under one roof, with Mr. Ganz doing the work that two men did heretofore. T he Lincoln office is authorized to make new loans in Lancaster county and the western part of Cass county.
