No Need of
Calling on
Legislature
Republican Members Reply to
Governor Bryan’s Plea
for Funds to Pay
Road Bills.
Is Bookkeeping Problem
Republican stale legislators in Oma
ha declare that there is no need for
Governor Bryan to call a special ses
sion of the legislature to approprite
approximately $420,000 to meet unset
tled claims of road contractors.
• The governor stated Saturday that
he Is willing to call a special session
if the contractors and republican leg
islators pay the expenses, and if “the
republican members will make proper
f^ipology to the people for their actions
during the last session."
"There is no need for a special ses
sion,” said Senator J. W. Cooper last
night. "The sum is sufficiently large
to warrant the contractors waiting for
It the short time necessary, and get
the appropriation in the usual man
ner.
:'The contractors should be paid, of
course, and the suggested course may
be according to the best business prin
ciples, but it takes a nerve to ask
legislators, state officials and the con
tractors to meet the necessary expense
incurred.
The supreme court handed down a
decision Saturday that the contractors
could not be paid out of the appro
priation made at the last session for
road construction.
A. W. Elsasser, democrat, takes this
as ft vindication of the governor's po
sition. He declared that Governor
McKelvie on leaving office announced
that no deficit existed and he holds
that after an investigation Govenor
Bryan discovered a deficit in the road
fund.
George P. Staats, Fremont, leader
in the house, and pioneer in the good
roads mdver.-.ent, stated last night that
he is not in favor of the proposed
special session.
“If Governor Bryan wants a spe
cial se islon." he said, "let him call it." j
Advices from Ulncoln state that no j
contracts were let by the* previous
state administration in excess of the j
amount scheduled from state *and fed
ernl aid funds.
The federal government is custom- I
arily behind hand in paying Its share ;
road construction costs. However, j
it is declaved that enough was forth
coming from the federal treasury for
building Nebraska highways in 1*21
to meet all expenditures.
When McKelvie went out of office
and Bryan came In, difficulties were
created that resulted in the loss of
some federal aid. The United States
government engineers balked on cer
tain overruns and a dispute over
Cherry county roads left the fund
short of expectations.
The new decision of the supreme
court, which forbade payment of old
road claims out of new funds, changes
the situation still further. In the past,
the joint road fund was considered as
a running account. Inasmuch as the
federal program is made for six years,
the state authorities also worked on
the six-year plan. Instead of keeping
each two-year period separate, as Gov
ernor Bryan has held they should be.
Question oi llonKKefgHng. .
J. W. Towle, president of the A1
lied Contractors. Inc., stated last
night that, he is under the Impres
sion there will be no need of an ex
tra session.
"Money to meet all claims,” he
said, "is at present In the treasury
of the state, according to informa
tion we have been given. It Is mere
ly a matter of bookkeeping to meet
these bills. We can give no definite
answer until we have read the com
plete decision handed down by the
court. Of course, the claims are
just.
"If the funds should happen not
fcsJo be in the treasury and It Is neces
sary to call a special session, I do
not think It w ould be Just to ask
a certain portion of the legislature
or the contractors to meet expenses."
Walton Suit to Go on

Oklahoma City, Nov. 18.—Okla

The deposed governor’s friends praise

Third Party
Is Advised
by Johnson
Minnesota Senator Addresses
Fariner-Lahor Meetings in
Chicago—Expects to
Be Heard.
Will Fight Standpatter
By t’nlvemal Service.
Chicago, Nov. 18.—If the Farmer
Labor party follows the advice of
Senator Magnus Johnson, there will
be a labor party ticket in the field
In the presidential election next year.
Speaking before the Chicago Federa
tion of Labor meeting today. Sen
ator Johnson said that the farmer-la
bor party had nothing to lose by
nominating candidates and making a
fight, as it would make little differ
ence to the farmer and the worker
which of the two old party tickets
was victorious.
Senator Johnson made two speeches
in Chicago. Following the afternoon
meeting of the Chicago Federation of
Labor, he addressed a farmer-labor
party mass meeting in the evening,
at which an admission was charged.
Wil Not Be Idle.
"I am on my way to Washington
to take my seat In the senate of this
country.' 'said Senator Johnson. "I
am a new man and I will sort of have
to feel my way. but I’ll tell you right
now that I will not he Idle there.
"Before my election, some of the
Minneapolis newspapers predicted
that if I was elected the supreme
court of this country would be
destroyed. Other beautiful things were
"aid of me—that if I was elected 1
•a oukl bring about a revolution in
this country.
"So you see I am some guy—If I
can destroy the supreme court of the
1'nited States and start a revolution.
But I was elected, and you haven't
seen a revolution yet. I am not a
radical at all. I know when to put
on the brakes. On the third of next
month. I will take my seat. I know
that my grammar is not perfect, and
that I am far behind that great states
man. Henry Cabot Bodge of Massa
chusetts. They say his English can
not be Improved. But I think he can
understand mo when I get up to
speak.
Fair to Business.
"I intend to he fair to business, as
well as to the farmer and the work
ingman. Iwill not stand for laws un
fair to the business of this country
and will givo business a square deal.
I am not going to Washington to
tear down our churches, our school
houses and other institutions.
"But I will see that the trust and
hlg business interofs give up that
which they have that does not belong
to them."
Senator Johnson said that in addi
tion to laws Intended to help the
farmer and the worker, that with the
assistance of other progressives, he
was going to use the agricultural
department to bring about an "or
derly production" of the products of
the farm, and an "orderly market."
"I believe that President Cooltdge
will be nominated by the republican
party,” said Senator Johnson. "I
don’t know who will be nominated by
the democrats, but I know that the
people of the middle west will not
stand for a standpatter. Our hope
is through the farmer-labor party and
a joining together of the farmers and
the workers of the cities."
Infuriated Ducks and
Flock Is Maddened by
Crippled FotvCs Cries
Brant Attack Hunter
O'Neill, Neb., Nov. 18.—John Bll
songer, Chicago sportsman, is under
the care of physicians at the Double
O ranch, northwest of Cottonwood
lake, recovering from numerous
bruises and a severe buffeting receiv
ed at the lake last week while fighting
for his life against the attacks of a
mixed flock of infuriated redhead
ducks and Canadian brant.
Mr. Bilsinger, inexperienced as a
duck hunter, was shooting from a
blind well out in the shallow lake,
when he crippled a brant which
dropped close to the rushes, well away
from him. Leaving his gun in the
blind he waded after the brant and
caught it before it could get to deeper
water. Aroused by Its cries the flock,
which had taken flight, circled and
attacked the hunter, who because of
his waders filling with water was un
able to get back promptly to his gun
and the blind.
The infuriated birds attacked him
with wings and bills In numbers and
were joined by an incoming flock of
redheads that had been feeding in a
nearby alfalfa field. The battle waged
for over an hour and until Mr. Bil
singer, with his hunting coat wrapped
about his head to save his eyes, final
If reached the shore, from which. af'er
removing his boots, the hunter dag
gered toward the ranch house a mile
and a half away. The birds pursued
until frightened away by the baying
of a pack of wolf hounds kept by the
ranchman to chase coyotes, and then
made off.
The incident has been investigated
by Prof. M. H. Horiskey. a local nat
uralist, who has made n study of wild
bird* and their habits. The professor,
after visiting the alfalfa field, ex
presses the belief that the unusual
action of the birds was due to their
feeding on frostbitten alfalfa blossoms,
the potentiality of which as a fighting
liquor when made into a tea long
has been knowm to the natives.
Mr. Hilslnger's injuries, while
painful, are not serious.

SUNNY SIDE UP
"Hully chee," observes my favorite
newsboy, "dls t’lng Is guln’ t’ be
easy. A feller Just gits It off'n his
chest by dlggtn’ up f'r do Community
Chest, an’ ’er ye is. Dat's bus’ness
an’ I'm f’r It.”
Ever get up In the morning feeling
blue and discouraged and convinced
that everything Is going wrong; that
you are the most unfortunate of
mortals? Sure you have. Then you
start downtown with a grouch against
the world, and the first thing you
know you see some blind man on
the corner soliciting alms. A little
later you see some cripple, minus
legs or arms. Then you meet an
acquaintance who Is fighting tuber
culosls, and fighting a losing battle.
You see some 111 clad child, some III
clad women. And pretty soon your
frame of mind undergoes a change.
Vou refect that you have good eyes.
That you are not crippled. That you
have good health. That you are com
fortably clothed and well fed, and
your children the same. Then It
begins to dawn upon you that you
are mighty fortunate, arid with the
dawning of that thought everything
gets bright, you throw up your head,
stick out your chest and tackle the
Job ahead with a light heart. And
then, right then, Is the time to step
up and chuck your contribution Into
the Community Chest.*
Naturally I am kind of heart, feel
ing a sympathy for my fellows and
wishing bod luek to no one, not even
on enemy, If sueh there he. Hut be
ginning with this beautiful Monday
morning, November 1#, my hope Is
that If you are aide to contribute to
the Community Chest and refuse, or
delay It unduly, your breakfast re
fuses to set well on your stoinaeh,
that vour shoes spring a leak, that
your hat hlnws off and falls In front
of a street fiusher, that you lose two
thirds of your suspender buttons,
that your stenographer quits to work
for a better employer, thnt somebody
swipes your automobile, that you are
never again able to find a seat In a
street car, and that your wife treuls
you as you really deserve. If I rould
think of anything else I’d Include II.
Timely story, and good because It
Is true, about those boys In The Bee
pressroom. They saw a little kid sit
ting disconsolately on the curb, fie
said he was hungry and cold. The
pressmen staked him to a square
meal, took him home and discovered
the lad's mother hungry and cold,
and proceeded to provide her with
food and fuel. Then they staked the
lad to a stock of Bees, and the lad Is
now helping his mother. Just a lit
tle human Interest story, but It fits
In mighty well with Community Chest
week. Those fellows In The flee
pressroom would grin with derision
if you tried to tell them that they
were charitable. "You don't think
for a minute we'd see the kid go
hungry, do you?” said one of the
pressnn n. Isn't It up to you and me
to get Into the game along with
those pressmen?
Hang It nil, Isn't It worth some
thing to be relieved of being pes
tered to buy tags about every wash
day, even If the tag sellers nre usual
ly mighty easy to look at? Bet's
watch ’em smile "once for all" on
this chnrlty business. Then, maybe,
wo ran draw a few smllea on our own
personal account.
A gift In hnnd Is worth two In
prospect. A hungry stomach ca .
not he filled with tracts and promises.
The average philanthropist Is a fel
[ low who tenders a collar button to
a mnn who hns no shirt. An empty
belly puts a erlmp In the average
conscience. A swollen Community
Chest Is better than sympnthy In cold
storage. Now is a good lime for
your right hand to let your left hand
know whnt It Is doing; the left hand
might do the same thing. With your
contribution In the Community Chest
you will tie pardoned for feeling
chesty.
Thirty-three years ago, when I

Senator Smoot, W'ho Will
Head Finance Committee,
Will Support Mellon
Program.
Regulars Now Back Plan
By rnlvrrsal Service.
Washington. Nov. 18.—Tax reduc
tion legislation at the coming session
of congress seemed almost a certain
ty tonight.
The announcement of Senator Reed
Smoot, who will be the chairman of
the finance committee, that he will
get behind the Mellon program in
the senate, If It Is passed by the
house, was believed to have given ir
resistible momentum to the move
ment.
Smoot’s change of heart means
that Senator Lodge, majority leader,
Senator Curtis, whip, and others
among the ’’regulars’’ or conserva
tive republican leaders in the senate
likewise have abandoned their orig
inal idea of preventing consideration
of the proposals before the presiden
tial election.
This reversal of attitude was In
terpreted as signifying that word had
been received that the Mellon pro
gram was an administration propo
sition and that th9 president will
uj-ge it vigorously In his message.
Politics Is Feared.
Senator Smoot, It was pointed out,
would not have assumed responsibil
ity for announcing the matter will
have to come up unless he thoroughly
understood this to be the desire of
the other leaders with whom he has
been co-operating. Smoot was th*
first senator to put out the state
ment that the Mellon plan would not
be acted upon because of the danger
of the La Follette progressives and
democrats playing politic* with It by
tacking on obnoxious amendments
increasing, rather than decreasing,
taxes. This same view was reiter
ated after a conference between
Smoot, lodge, Curtis, Warren and
others when the majority leaders ar
rived Friday.
r>»ow that these forces are deter
mined to get behind the bill In the
senate, if it comes over from the
house, there is believed to be little
or no doubt that it will go through
the lower branch, athough there may
be some modifications. There has
been no attempt to commit senators
and representatives to the exact de
tails of the Mellon suggestions.
Representative Martin B. Madden
of Illinois, chairman of the appro
priations committee, announced to
night that he is in favor of the Mel
lon program except the proposed re
peal of the amusement taxes, and
with this exception he will give It his
full support.
Confer* With Coolldge.
Senator Lodge had a luncheon con
ference with President SoolldgeC to
day. The tax reduction program waa
thoroughly thrashed out and a num
ber of other legislative matters to
be treated in the president's mes
sage gone over.
Lodge was understood to have told
the president the exact situation In
the senate and to have ascertained
Mr. Coolldge's definite views. The
executive Is expected to lnstat upon
action at the coming session and
•xert tho full power of the admlnis
tratlon's Influence to that end. With
tho president and the conservatives
In the senate, as well as Senator
Borah, progressive, who ha* taken
a lead In the fight, making common
cause of the proposed relief, It Is
believed a satisfactory bill can be
passed.
Senator Smoot asserts, however,
that this will require the support of
nine or ten conservative democrats.
Steps now are being taken to ascer
tain whether that many minority
members will agree to forego politics
and go along with the plan. Senator
Mass of Virginia, former secretary
of the treasury In the Wlson cabinet,
and king of Utah, form a powerful
nucleus for this force.
Smoot ICxplulns stand.
Explaining his position tonight. Sen
ator Smoot said that he not only
agrees with tho principle of (ho Mel
Ion plan, but bo would favor going
a little further than tho secretary'.
Some taxes which Mr. Mellon has not
Included might be cut down, tho sen
ator said.
His only objection from tho begin
ning, he emphasized, has been the dan
ger of having the measure made a
palltlcal measure and a lot of obnox
lous amendments added to It. But.
tho senator now believes the propo
sltlon must t>« taken up In spite of
this danger and he, with the other
"regular leaders" are going to fight
to see It through.
Discussing the soldier bonus, which
It Is declared In some quarters would
Interfere with the proposed tax re.luc
tlons, Senator Smoot paid If the bonus
advocates will accept a sales lax. hi
will he glad to vote for the bonus.
Many of the other bonus opponents
would do the same thing.
The point Is mule that by carry
ing a sales tax to finance It, the bonus
would not block the (hx reduction pro
gram.

The premier who apparently was in
a combative mood, added that new
penalties against Germany would be
imposed unless full satisfaction from
Germany was obtained.
The premier expressed no disap
pointment over the failure in the ne
gotiations for the creation of a com
m.ssion of experts to determine Ger
many's capacity to pay. He said
France was firmly resolved that she
was quite capable of bringing Ger
many to terms.
''Franc* is determined,” said \1.
Poincare, “not to exacuate the occu
pied territories until all the clauses
of the treaty signed at Versailles have
been completely executed and we are
firmly protected against fresh poli
cies of aggress.on ”
German defiance of the treaty as
regards military control and the re
turn to Germany of former Crown
Prince Frederick William called for
penalties against Germany, the pre
mier declared, "and we ghall take
them unless we obtain satisfaction.
Must Have Security.
The occasion of the premier's
speech was the unveiling of a monu
ment to the war dead of Neullly.
Great Interest had been attache! to
the speech. Inasmuch as It was the
first delivered by H. Poincare in the
metropolis district since he begun his
Sumlaj t •nrtorlcal campaign. Today
tfc*"t>remier stated France1* case
more bluntly and went farther In the
way of France's demands upon Ger
many than he had done in the
provinces. Hitherto he always had
declared the Ruhr would be evacuated
progressively In proportion to the
reparations payment*.
"As much as we insist upon receiv
ing reparations." declared M. Poincare,
"we are no less determined to obtain
our security. Germany for a long
time has played fast and loose with
the treaty's stipulations destined to
guarantee it. It has paralyzed the
action of the interallied control com
mission; it has been endeavoring to
rebuild in secret Its war weapons and
to reorganize her military formations
forbidden by the treaty.
"Meanwhile it's authorized the heir
to the imperial throne to return to
the country. It is welcoming the man
who Is inscribed at the top of the list
of those guilty of responsibility for
the war. from the exploits of whom
my compatriots of the Meuse depart
ment suffered during the greater part
of the war. These acts on the part
of the German government are im
pudent challenges to the allies—brazen
violations of the treaty, insolent out
rages to peace. They call for sanc
tions. tVe will take them unless we
obtain satisfaction.”
Cool Toward Vllied Conference.
A crowd of several thousand work
ing men. dressed in their Sunday
clothes and small bourgeois intellec
tuals. the la-ter the most impoverish
ed class In Franc* in consequence of
the war and the greatest sufferers
from the present high coat of living,
cheered the words of the premier
long and loud. "Keep on." they shout
ed "We and France are behind you."
Reverting to an Investigation of
Germany’s ability to pay, M Poin
care said:
"Our proposition for the scope of
an Investigation Into Germany's
capacity to pay has been found too
limited, because t» e did not wish to
judge Germany’s future from her
present state. When it was realised
we refused to accept that the Ger
man debt by devious means should
be reduced the seal which has been
shown for the creation of an experts’
conference Immediately cooled We
can console ourselves w.th that abor
tion. We should have been very
happy to reach an agreement with
our allies upon a settlement of the
reparations questions, provided we
were not made to bear the entire cost
of It."
