the state engineer's office and not in
haphazard work in various counties.
The committee's attitude toward this
proposition has not, as yet, been made

It. E. Harrington, chairman of the
committee, is holding a series of ex

members and the bill to he presented
to the house is nearing completion.
That there will he latter debate on the
method of expenditure is a certainty.
The group controlled by county com
missioners and county politicians is
is aggressive in demanding that the
counties spend the money as the good

that the gasoline tax be spent by the
state.

AY lien Lawrence Enzntlnger, C. Pe

locomotive engineers, decided to come
from their homes In North Platte to
attend the Old Timers' club entertain
ment In Omaha, Mr. Enzmlnger sug
gested that they fly down in Ills "bus."
PeLany and Mengel enthusiastically
agreed and, late Wednesday morning,
they left North Platte, 270 miles from
Omaha, alighting at Fort Crook field
after two hours, 55 minutes in the air,
early Wednesday afternoon.
The "bus" Is the latest Swallow,
100- horsepower, three-passenger air
| plane. Mr. Knzminger, during the
last three years, has put in his spare
time, when he wasn't running a lo
comotive, learning to fly and later
teaching others to fly and giving rides
to those who wished to take llie air.
fils plane cost $3,700 and he
“drove" to Omaha on 2S gallons of
gasoline, which is just about what a
big automobile would consume for the
distance.
Knzminger displayed his pilot's li
cense to friends in Omaha.
"Oh, you got one of them?” said
Del .any. "Well, T feel safer now."
"It was a wonderful ride,” lie con
i
tinned. "To see the towns drifting
past and no grades or curves to make
was quite different from running a lo
comotive."
"Are you going to quit running lo
comotives now and take up alrplan
ing?"
"Oh, no. We work for the best rail
road In the world and hope to keep
on for many years."
DeLany pulls the Pacific Limited be
tween North Platte and Grand Island.
Mengel is a freight engineer on the
same division.
The three engineers will fly back
to North Platte on Friday.

Sen. Norris Leads
in Fight Against
Shoals Measure
Nebraska Senator Claims Con
ferees Kxeeeded ‘'Right" in
Altering Property Rental
Provision.
Washington, Feb. 10.—The fight
Against senate Adoption of the confer
ence report on the Underwood Muscle
!-ihoals leasing bill was opened today
when Senator Norris, republican, Ne
braska, leader of the opposition,
,iaised a point of Older against the re
port.
Senator Norris declared the con
ferees had no "real right" to go out
side of the senate bill because the
house passed a bill to lease the prop
erty to Henry Ford, who has since
withdrawn liia offer.
The first provision of the report at
tacked by Senator Norris was section
It, authorizing the president to em
ploy advisers to assist in drafting a
lease and the appropriation of $100,
000 for that purpose. He declared
this was “new legislation as it was
not included in either senate or house
measure and was subject to a point
of order.’’
Exceeded Right, Claim.
The conferees, Senator Norris as
serted. exceeded their "righta” in
changing the property rental provi
sions. The conferee*, he declared,
made the rental "less" than either the
house or senate bills.
“Under the conference report." Sen
ator Norris declared, ’’it would be
possible for the lessee to get the prop
erly without paying a cent."
The requirement for annual produc
tion of nytrogen for fertilize he
branded as another "violation of the
rights of a conference committee."
The Ford' bid. he said, called for
40,000 tons annually all of the time;
the senate bill required 40.000 annu
ally after the fifth year, but the con
ference bill lowers the production to
40,000 tons after the 10th year.
» Makes Appropriation.
Another Instance of where the con
ferees "overstepped their rights," he
said, is found in the authorization of
the appropriation of $3,472,487, the
proceeds received from the saie of
the Gorgas steam plant of the Ala
bama Bower company, toward the
cost of construction of dam No. 3.
Senator Underwood, democrat, Ala
hania, author if the bill, declared that
while the senate rule prevent* con
fereea from Inserting new legislation
it does not mean that new language
cannot be used.

Seward Legion Head Would Buy
One-Way Passage for U. S. Knocker
Identity Sought of Youth
\S ho Would ‘‘Leave Nation
to Anti-Saloon League and
American Legion.”
F. M. Mercian), commander of the
Seward (N'eb.) post American Legion,
was in Omaha Thursday with one
eye open for a youth who, in a plaint
to the public letter column of sn
Omaha newspaper a week ago,
begged to be told one good reason
why he should continue to' grace the
United Stares of America with his
presence, co-operation and endorse
ment.
The Seward legion replied promptly
that It would pa5- the young man's
way to some foreign land If he would
promise never to return. The young
man, In another letter, accepted the
offer provided that he might return
to this land as often as he wished
“on visits.''
“Of Fighting First.”
He signed his letters simply "Of
the Fighting First."
But Commander Merriam has re-'
ceived Information that he is a cer
tain youth whose last name has six
letters, begins with “W" and ends In
"n." If he reads this he will know
that "all is discovered."
The letter received by Merriam. re
vealing the young man's Identity,
states that "he wants to see the world
at someone else's expense. Don't fall
for his bluff. Give him a disappoint
ment."
That, said Merriam. is about what
his post will do, inasmuch as the
youth:
“In spite of all temptations
To belong to other nations,
■Will remain an Amer i can."
Predicts U. 8. Kxodus.
In the young man's first letter
which started all the fuss, he told
how he had been with the “Fighting
First" division, but that he believes
the time is coming “when millions of
Americans will enrich other nations
with their presence and leave the
United States, such »s It Is, to the
Anti-Saloon league and the Ameri
can Legion.
"When I was still more moist
behind the ears than now and
was In the army, I loved the coun
try and Its traditions. With a
grand feeling of doing something
for the public good, I Joined the
American Legion. There I learned
that I was to be patriotic and
shout down anyone else who, ac
cording to legion standards, was
not. I found the legion's concep
tion of public good Is to make
legionnaires public office holders.
"I am willing to be patriotic,
but what Is there to be patriotic
about? Our statesmen? They
crumhled into obscurity before
the onslaught of organized blah.
Our institutions? They have fall
en Into the hands of greedy holy
rollers. Our contributions to civili
zation? What are they? Our
democracy? AVhcre is It? Our
geographic advantages? They
ate accidental. Of what then can
an American l>e proud? Nothing,
but Americanism—providing he
doesn’t explain to himself what
that Is.”
Merriam stated that if the writer
of the letter “comes out In the open"
and unconditionally renounces the
United 8tatea, his deportation ex
penses will be forthcoming, he has
no doubt.
When a man goea fishing he may
not catch a good string, but he usu
ally comes home with a long yarn.
