Three constitutoonal amendments were passed and will be submitted to the votes of the people for adoption or rejection at the next general elec tion. One of these provides for tax reform and provides for an income tax and taxes on privileges and occu pations; these in addition to the gen eral taxes as levied at present. The second amendment is one permitting five-sixths of a jury to render a ver dict in civil cases and in criminal cases less than felonies. It also gives the legislature authority to authorize a trial by jury of less than twelve men in courts below the district court. The third constitutional amendment is one raising salaries, increasing the governor’s from $2,500 to $5,000. The secretary of state, superintendent of public instruction and land commis sioner from $2,000 to $2,500; increas ing the salary of attorney general from $2,000 to $4,000; the state treas urer from $2,500 to $3,000, and reduc ing the present salary of the lieuten ant governor from two to one and one-half times the salary of a state senator. California is in the throes of war over Japanese ownership of land in that state, or has been, and the legis lature was about to pass a law against allowing Japs to become owners of realties in that state, when lo and behold Dictator Bryan was sent out there last week by President Wilson to prevent such drastic lawmaking, and the legislature gigged back and consented to let the matter lie over till next lawmaking season. Bryan said thumbs up, and up went the leg islative thumbs. Oh, it’s great to have a Bryan in a party to tell them what to do. And now the Japs can give up the idea of war, which has caused the democratic administration to throw seventeen kinds of fits over the fear of the little brown men. Clare Kettle brought over from Ashton Monday a bunch of 2(i horses, 25 of which he put down in Rudolph Johns’ pasture, shipping the other one to Grand Island to make up a load for shipment by Warrick and Fletch er.

The governor has signed a bill pro hibiting physicians from dividing fees with each other or from accepting commissions from persons sending them patients; also a bill prohibiting whites from marrying any person who has one-eighth blood of negro, or Jap anese or Chinese blood: also prohibit ing misrepresentation in the quality of any goods offered for sale. Senator Norris has introduced a bill in the senate, the purpose of which is to make the service in the postoffice department a desirable life work that will not be subject to changes in administrations and political pull. Loup City to Have a Laundry Loup City is to have a steam laun dry, Mr. L. Domgard, who went from here to Ord a few months ago, to ope rate the same, returning here bring ing the plant to this point.

Newhouser had an exciting experience with a span of mules last week. On his way to Loup City they got frightened at something just after they left home and, to use his own words, how they did run, up hill and down, until he struck the valley when he got them headed into a vacant field, where he kept them going in a circle until they had all the run they wanted. No harm done to anything. Will Hancock is going over all his road work with the grader this spring and has a gang of men at work now. This is a fine thing, as the drifting snow in the winter keepssmall streams of water running down the hill follow ing the wheel tracks, some times making very deep ruts in the center of the road and if the roads are left until fall rutted this way all the rains of the summer continue to pass down the same ruts, causingsuch deep holes that it is dangerous to the public. Shaping up the roads in the spring opens up some ditches that are filled up with trash. Sometimes the water flows across the road all summer if left until fall. If the work is done in the spring and the road drag used several times during the summer it will keep the roads in good shape. Along R. R. No. I R. D.

James Ling fixed the road leading to his box up in fine shape, which is surely appreciated by the mail man, as quite a little time can be saved when the boxes are in a good place to get to them. There is a gang of men at work cut ting down the brush on both sides of the road from town to the west bridge, which will surely be a great help when finished, for it was always a bad mud hole as there was not much chance for it to dry up, and it was also a bad place for snow to drift in.

It sure hit me hard, and I had prospects fora bump er crop. You know, Jack, I’m renting, but I had hopes that I could buy a little piece of my own, and so much depend ed on a good crop this season. I had a chance to buy a forty on easy terms and if I got a crop it would go quite a ways to help me get a start. Jack: Didn’t you have yourgrain in sured? I had all of mine in sured and the insurance man was out to see me yesterday and, believe me, he treated me great. Bill: What Company insured your crop? Jack: Why, the St. Paul Fire and Marine. They have been writ ing hail insurance around here for years. I get a policy with them every year. Bill: That’s the same Company that wanted to insure my crop, but I told the agent I was too busy to talk insurance. Gee, I wish I had taken out a policy to cover at least my interest in the crop.
