NEBRASKA UP NEAR THE TOP
The value of farui property in
Nebraska per capita of farm pop
ulation is 56} per cent greater
than the average i>er capita farm
value of the ten suites of the corn
belt. This is shown by a chart!
complied by \Y. D. Fisher ofj
Allaince, secretary of the Xebras-1
ka Associations of commercial,
clubs. The chart shows there j
are thirteen states in the union j
which have farm property in ex-'
cess of $1,000 per capita for their
people who live on farms.
Nebraska is the second state in
the union in per capita value of
farm lands.
The value of the farm lands in
Nebraska runs 56 tier cent higher
per person on the farm than the
average of the following states:
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan,
Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, i
Missouri and Kansas.
Nebraska stands second in the j
tier capita value of the corn crop, j
according to this bulletin. The!
state brings an annual per capiUi
value to its farmers of 45} per
cent more than the average ofj
the ten states named.
Nebraska stands second in the
per capita value of its wheat crop
and brings an annual per capita
value of wheat to its farmers of
94.7 per cent more than the aver
age of the corn belt states.
This state ranks fifth in value
of the oat crops annually and leads
five of the corn lielt states 58} per
cent in the per capita value of
this crop.
Nebraska ranks fourth in the
value of .rye. fourth in potatoes
in the corn belt, second in per
capita value of horses, fourth in
tier capita value of dairy cattle,
first in per capita value of beef
cattle for the corn belt states,
second in the per capita value of
swine ior the corn belt states.
Nebraska has the smallest farm
population of any of these ten
states, its farm population being
only 57 percent of the average
population of the ten states of the.
<jprn belt.—Omaha Bee.
FREAK LAWS IN
OTHER STATES
Despite Publicity And Ridicule Of Press Lawmakers Con
tinue To Pass Many Freak Laws—Dry State En
acts Law Licensing Soft Drinks.
Despite the publicity given to
freak laws and the satirical com
ment passed upon them by thought
ful newspapers, legislators con
tinue to make laws which ire so
absurd that their enforcement is
impossible, and politicians bend
the statutes to suit their own ends
and personal advancement regard
less of the good of the state. Wis
consin, which has been more or
less in the limelight for freak laws,
has passed a law making it com
pulsory for a person to pay s.~> for
a license to give away cigarettes.
Cigarette smokers who have been
in the habit of “bumming the
makings'" or asking a friend for a
cigarette cannot do so without
subjecting the frieud to a sixty
day jail sentence.
The legislature of Georgia has
passed a law to prevent legislators
from entering the legislative halls
in an intoxicated condition. Al
though Georgia is a dry state, she
is the only state in the union which
has deemed it necessary to pass
such a law. The “soft drink”
men of Georgia are also up in the
air over a new “soft drink” bill
which has just been introduced, i
By this bill, every soft drink
stand in the state will have to pay I
a license of from $2 5 to $o<) a
year; every bottling plant shall
pay a license of $100 a year; all
manufacturers of soft drinks shall
pay a tax of ten cents per gallon
on all syrups, twenty-five cents on
all tinctures and fifty cents per
gallon on all extracts used in soft
drinks.
Texas, also, steps into the light
with a curious perversion of law I
for the purpose of reprisal. The
wet and dry forces of Wichita
Falls have been about equally di
vided. Recently the bartenders
refused to vote for the candidates
o£ the labor unions, and now all
labor unions are going to get even
by voting out the saloons and de
priving the recalcitrant bartenders
of theii jobs. Landlords in the
business section of the town are
going to he made to suffer also.
They turned down recently a peti
tion to reduce rents. Now these
renters are going to vote out the
saloon in order to throw 27 vacant
store rooms on the real estate
market and thus force down rents.
In Chicago a woman is urging the
passage of an ordinance to force
milkmen to wear rubber heels on
their shoes.
LOUP CITY GUN CLUB.
