daily routine and said to herself,
“No time to be bothered wiih a
salestalk this morning.” But the
supposed salesman insisted that he
should have her attention, which
caused Mrs. Claxton to make fur
ther investigation.

time, going to the door. When
she opened the door, the intruder
clasped her in his arms and said,
“Hello, sister, don’t you know
your own brother?”

X HE one goal toward which we ar®
all striving is RECOVERY, in Ne
braska and throughout the country!
What will bring Recovery?
Recovery depends upon the building
Df b:gger payrolls; fewer people on the
dole; the creation of more real jobs.
And the only way to build bigger pay
rolls is through renewed business con
fidence, confidence of investors in the
soundness of the securities of Ameri
can industries, confidence of business
in the fairness of government.
There can never be RECOVERY as
long as industry is threatened and har
assed, as long as it is throttled by
crushing taxes, destroyed by unfair
government competition or ruined by
governmental red tape, interference
and political control.
The Wheeler-Rayburn utility bill now
pending in Congress has instilled new
and increased fear into all business,
especially the public utilities. Thou
sands of employees of the electric and
gas holding and operating companies,
which the bill would arbitrarily hinder
and destroy, would be forced to join
the millions of jobless.
Here, for instance, is what this kind of
legislative threat has done in this ter
ritory: Last year the Nebraska Power
Company and the Citizens Power and
Light Company spent only about $200,
000 in improving our facilities for serv
ice. If we knew that all business were
going to be relieved of governmental
interference, we could easily be spend
ing a million dollars a year—and creat
ing more jobs. But it would be reck
less extravagance now, with the
Wheeler-Rayburn bill pending.
WOULD YOU ORDER A NEW
HOME BUILT, IF YOU WERE
THREATENED WITH LOSING
YOUR JOB?
The way to RECOVERY is through
the re-establishment of business con
fidence which will permit private, tax
paying capital to go to work again. If
we are to attain RECOVERY in the
next few years our country must be
come a workshop, not a laboratory.
The Wheeler-Rayburn bill would ser
iously retard RECOVERY 1
