At the last session of Con grim, a bJI was introduced which was given the almost iiwanimous approval of those whs studied it. It was not vot rd upon because of pressure of •titer business but it will prob ably be up at this session. _This is the MeCarran Ijcc bill wStewe purpose is to a* ure de velopment, of Atmi'.cu’s com nterciaj airlines by placing them under the jurisdiction of the Interstate Commerce Com mission. At the present time, the lines are head over heels in politics—Very largely due to the control itfid influence ex erted over them by the postof fiee department. They have made splendid strides’ in bet tering and extending service— but they would go forward milch faster sniltl, were they Sensibly regulated by a non po litical body. The ICC regulate* ull of the' nation's railroads, along with bus ami truck lines doing an in terstate business. It is an inde pendent bureau, wisely placed | beyond partisan influence by the law which created it many years ago. Under the McCar ran lice bill, this bureau would be eharged with the responsi-, bifct.v of determining air line ( tariffs, to the end that they be. fair to operators and the pub-1 lie alike; at would determine questions involving feeder ser vice to points not now served by air. This would make it pos sible for many cities to use to full advantage airports built in late years by the WPA The bill ( in brief, would make certain tlv progress of air transports 1 kion on a sound basis, serving the public with -maximum effi cieney and safety, without uu neeesaary and wasteful compe tition, and at a fair cost. The bill lias been endorsed by alir line managements, by pilots’ organisations, and by experts not connected with the industry. There seems to be no iknportuut opposition to it. In the name of the public interest in one of America’s youngest and potentially most import ant industries, it should be passed, PILGRIM BAPT. CHURCH Rev. G. E. Stevenson, Pastor Christine Dixon.

Steele, Reporter. A Debtless Stite (Continued from Page 1) Gov. R. L. Cochran, at that time state engineer, was secretary of •the commission. A fl ing at a Time T* meet the provision of the , ednstitut lion, the state house was built piecemeal, over a period Of years. Nebraska, to finance it, aim. ly levied on itself a sufficient tax to raise 1 million dollars a year The first such levy, in 1921, was for .3 of a mill on each dollar of valuation. As the years came. pro. perty valuations increased, and the levy was decreased, so that it dwindled to .22 of a mill, and fin. slly, at The end, to .11 of a mill. The statehouse rose wing by wing, which in itself was a measure of economy since competition was greater among contractors for the small jobs, than would have been possible if the whole structure had been let as a unit. Correspondingly fewer contractors would have been nble to handle so large an assign, ment, and the number of bidders would have teen greatly decreased. Th« eapitol was built around the j old statehouse, As a wing was er ected, a corresponding wing at the older fi'ructure was razed. Only Temporary Inconvenience The was a little inconvenlflce in switching offices aound, and some, times there was a little congestion as a result. But, as Governor Co. chran says, "It was temporary, and we all knew it and put Up with it, in harmony and good humor. The Staite’s business was not hampered in anv way by the temporary dis comfort of its officers." Th-: berit part of the whole state bouse project was that when it was complied, it was pa d for. Many other sfrwfcee, having built capitols. found themselves with bonds to Pay off. A 20 year bond at 5 per cent doubles itself. Thus, if the Nebraska staitehouso had been fin. anced with 20 year bonds at 5 per cent—wh:ch was not an uncommon rsita in 1921—the taxpayers might have felt the cost a little less at the time, but they would have spent 20 years paying 20 million dollars for the'r 10 million dol lar structure. Governor Oochran Hsfa 6 points as embracing Nebraska's sound fis cal policy: 1. Resisttance to pressure groups seeking greater expenditures. 2. Constitution ! and legislative limitations upon spending by local subdivisions of government. 3. Efficient administration. 4. Avoiding new forms of taxes which usually result in additional taxes and certainly heavy admin, stra'tion costs. 5 The pay as you go plan for all state expenditures. The I’ol’cy Reaffi-med Of these* five points, the pay as you go plan is probably the. most imlpoifant. As has been said, it rests upon a constitutional provi sion. but it is noteworthy that the people of the state of Nebraska have jealously guarded that pro vision. Included in th° constitution of 1875, it was reaffirmed by the second constitutional convention of 1920. In 1931 there was the most seri ous attack on the provision, when the movement for rapid expansion of highways reached a high peak, and a motion was introduced into the legislature to submit an amendment to the people enabling the stata to borrow money for this purpose, The motion was defeated in 1 he legislature. At the time Gov. Cochran then state engineer, upon whom much of the pressure came, disapproved it. Although the pro. posal did not even come before the people, the reaction against it was so noteworthy, in the last session of th<* legislature—the unicameral body, which incidentally ,had no. thing to do with creating the fin. ancial system—some 600 bills were proposed, but not one single pro posal was made for an amend ment to permit the incurring of debt. Cardui helps to relieve functional pains of men struation; and, in cases of malnutrition, it aids in building up the whole system by helping wom en to get more energy from their food. 103 Million hi Roads That the policy has been success ful is seen by thg. fact that the state has in addition to its capitol, a 103 million dollar highway sys tem, planned to take care most efficiently of the a ate’a needs, wifh 8,000 mi of surfaced roads, 2,000 miles are paved; the state univer. sity, one of the finest institutions of its kind in the nation, with an enrollment of more than 7.000; four state normal schools; eighteen ins itutions of charitable and p^ial character, all representing an In. vcstrmnt of 151 million dollars— and every penny of that investment paid. Bolstering the prohibition again, st debt are numberous other con. stitutional and satultory safe, guards. The governor must sub. mit a budget to the legislature, based on requests from various ex pending agencies on which hearing are b: Id. The governor’s budget is subjected to study of legislative committees and to the legislature as a whole, with a provision that 1 no item can be increased except by a 60 per cent vote. Local subdivi sions cannot issue bonds without an approving vale of the people. County budgets are required. Deficit a Sensation A few years ago it was discover, cd that Nebraska had a m'llion dollar deficit. The discovery arous ed a major sensation. Eventually it was shown thalt there wa8 no ct ruption or maladministration involved, and that the deficit had been cumulative over several admin istrations. due simply to unwilling. nr«« to levy taxes sufficient to co. ver the the expenses. The, peo. pie of Nebraska demanded prompt aition so that such a situation should not again arise. As a re. suit a law was passed making it a statutory requirement that the state board of equalization shall make an annual levy sufficiently high to meet appropriations made by he legislature against property tax revenue. More than this the board of equalization is required to provide a 3 to 5 per cent margin, ' to safeguard against shrinkage in j tax collections. The result of th’s has been to place the responsibility for appro- ' priations squarely upon the should, j crs of the legislators. In Nebraska i it i* not now possible for a law. maker to vote for an expenditure with the comfortable feeling that the gov mor must either veto the vl\ or somehow find the money to pny for it. When the legislator ’■otes for th° expenditure, he knows ihnt he is automat;cally vot ing j for the arpropriation. and this j ' nov '»dge has had an appreciable ff'ot in inducing a conservative 'ftifaiide en spending. The pay as '•on go plan also has other very vilunble effects as the Nebraska taxpayers now know "By avoiding bond issues on the of the s'ate,’’ says Governor t'oehran, "we are able to use eur. vper wishes to express his gratitude to the many loyal co-workers and friends for their services rendered in the an niversary banquet and style revue program climaxing seven years o# service. » g «■ *-*— ♦•••■ • « mw* ■ B eg*,, KERMAN’S market HERMAN FRIEDLANDER | Proprietor i ' “RAT FLBISCHMANN’S TEA8T FOR HEALTH” 24th and Lake Street WEbster 5444 ..1 . 1 i New Cleaning Prices SPECIAL , Any Twe Me Items .
