OUR WEEKLY COMMENT Right you are, Brother, these “economical” democratic legis latures come high, but evidently the people have been feeling that they “must have ’em.” The pow wow just closed at Lincoln cost in appropriations cool $1,790,199, as against $3,920,129 two years ago. This makes republicans point with pride to the model re publican legislature of 1907, in which appropriations, cost the state $3,369,108. Mr. Taxpayer, after being inflated with demo cratic campaign “economy” rot, what do you think of these fig ures?—Tecumseh Chieftain. Some difference now and fif teen years back. Today the farmers bring their produce to market in the auto while the horses are eating their noonliour meal, when fifteen years ago it took a half day in a heavy lum ber wagon and the eggs in a big box of oats in the back of the wagon, today they bring a neat little case for that special purpose which can be put under any ordinary buggy seat, this is progress.—Ex. A WAVE OF OPTIMISM Last year the bangers and bus iness men of the western states < a joyed a good laugh at the fin ui. ieis of the east, who seemed to be scared out of their boots and could see nothing ahead but a season of liquidation and price deflation. This spring it is noticed that the smile is on the national mouth. The west, dis ■ waged by slow trade, a decline n the price of farm products, nd a lull in the land boom, is eginning to talk gloomily of lepression and even of panic, and : he east is chirking up noticeably The explanation of this situation ns given by the Ney York Jour nal of Commerce is that business ,rul financial depression travels m waves. Last year the east was looking for a dull period and is now satisfied that it is over and that better things are already in sight. The west is just receiving the full force oi the wave of pessimistic feeling and as usual is inclined to over estimate its strength and its probable duration. It is true that the stock market is about as dull as it ever becomes, but that is consolidated only prelim inary to a season of healthful ac tivity. It is pointed out that specualtion everywhere has been checked, stocks of goods are so low as to compel new production soon, money is plentiful here and abroad, the saving of the past year created a baalnce of trade iu our favor amounting to over $440,000,000, and American credit abroad is higher than ever. All of these facts create a feeling of hope that is bound to spread out from New York soon in a wave of optimism that will soon touch the revitalize the business of the midwest. So far as Nebraska is concerned ,of course its prosper ity this year cannot he dampen ed by anything short of a. univer sal failure of the farms of pro duce. And in these days of new methods, new grains and grasses ■ nd widespread crop diversifica tion that is not considered with the remote possibilities.—State rournal.

By Their Fruits Ye Shall Know Them The thirty-second sesson of the legislature, which came to an end on April 10, last, enacted 242 measures of which 227 were sign ed by the governor and 1C were vetoed. At least 100 more bills were introduced than by the preceding legislature and about the same proportion of them en acted into law. The legislature of 1909 passed 205 bills of which the governor signed 202. The legislature was democratic by a reasonable working majority, al though not so completely so as the preceding legislature. A re publican governor held something of a check over them, although his influence was but little felt or heeded until late in the ses sion when the vetoers began to turn up. Every veto that wras sent to the senate was overrid den, and in each case the house stood by the executive so that no measure passed without his ap proval. It was a liberal legislature in every respect financially. It spent more than the $100,000 appropri ated for legislative salaries and expenses; it appropriated almost three times as much for special purposes as did the legislature of 1909; it allowed for the mainte nance of the state government, and the payment of claims out standing against the state as a result of the two years adminis tration preceding, almost half a million dollars more than had the preceding legislature. Out of the state’s general fund, secured by a levy which cannot exceed five mills, $50,010,791.37 was appro priated for the biennium as compared with approximately the $3,900,000 appropriated two years ago. The total appropriation in cluded the one-mill levy for the state university, four years ago was $3,936,008; two years ago it was $4,574,129.02, an increase for two years of $1,345,282.34. This includes the university mill levy, 90 per cent, of which at the pres ent valuation would bring in ap proximateely $743,400 for the hie nium, and tlie one-fifth mill levy as state aid in the construction of bridges approximately $165,200 For the biennium. F’ve constitutional amendment were submitted to ye voted upo by the people in 1912, these be ing biennial elections initiative and referendum, a nonpartisan, o bi-partisan, board of control for >,tate institutions, increase in sal aries of legislators from $300 to $600 for the term, and the right of cities of more than 5,000 pop ulation to make their own char ters. Four of these proposed amendments represent as many platform pledges of the dominant party. Another pledge, the non partisan judiciary law, was pass ed by the democratic legislature and vetoed by the governor. The pledge of state aid in the con struction of highways by districts went glimmering, through the re fusal of democratic legislators to abide by it. The southwestern agricultural school was provided for as per platform pledge, as was also the automobile law for the better protection of the trav eling public. The Nebraska bank guaranty law, which lias just gone into op eration, after being tied up in the courts for two years, was changed back to the closed prim ary by almost unanimous vote after the experience of last fall. —State Journal.

Foster, the distance wca ter forecaster, one time of Oma ha, and now of "Washington, D. C. writes that during the next two weeks some violent disturbances will verify his theory of the ef fect of electro-magnetic currents passing between the planets of cur solar system. His prognosti cation are: “The storm forces from April 2G to May G will be of such great intenstiy that I submit for pub lication the following forecasts as a test of the important truth that our earth is subject to the elec tro-magnetic forces that pass from one planet to another, very much in accord with the laws of the electro-magnetic forces,caus ing all except our seasonal weath er changes. I will not try to lo cate these disturbances except to suggest that tornadoes will probably not occur near St. Louis and other western points where those storms occurred about Ap ril 12 to 14. “Not far from April 27, great earthquakes will probably occur in some of the earthquake coun tries and continue at intervals un til after May 5. From near April 27 or 28 to May 2 will occur not able electric storms, earthquakes, tornadoes and other severe weather events.—F. W.

The Coni Silo Corn silage si perhaps the most economical stock food the farm er can raise. It can be suc cessfully grown on any land be tween the 100th meridian and the Kocky Mountains where Huff'd* '.puss grows. Tlie corn stock, ear and all, is chopped up fine or shredded, before being put into tile silo, and it contains its best feeding qualities if cut just befori .rrjst, therefore corn for silage imposes can be grown even in aulities where the sesaons are cry short, for the reason it is ot necessary for corn to mature a he profitably put into the silo. t\ corn silo is simply a big uierkrai t barrel filled with chop i ed up corn stalks instead of •h pped up cabbage, there is no lire mystery about, a silo than ■ hole is about a sauerkraut bar rel, and any farmer who knows how t oniake sauerkraut can fill r. corn silo. A round silo 12 feet in diameter, 20 feet high, will )i Id .38 tons of corn silage. Five aci cs of corn planted with a lis ter, dropping the grains 8 to 10 inches apart, will fill a silo of tliis size. The contents, together with hay or grass, will feed 12 milch cows eight months. Twelv ordinary milch cows so fed and l! (ii to settclment in Wyoming that will support three itines the number of cows and then some. A round silo 18 feet in diame ter, 30 feet high, will hold 150 tons of corn silage. Twenty acre of corn will fill the silo. The contents of this silo will feed 700 Jambs three monts, and together villi hay will put them in shape to top the market for fat lambs; or together with hay, will feed 15 steers six months, or 00 steers three months. Corn silage lias passed the ex perimental stage. Practically ev '■rv university in hte central and "•astern states has demonstrated that corn silage is the cheapest stock food grown, considering its milk and fat producer. A farmer located on the Bur lington Route at Belmont, Neb., in the extreme northwestern pvt of the state, at an altitude of 4,500, has successfully gn wn corn silage for many years and during the past seven years he has grown an average of eight tons per aero. "What this farmer lias done can be done by practi cally every other farmer in the Burlington territory west of the Oth meridian. If you want to make money •lsy, build a silo on your farm.

Freak Pig Has Elephant Trunk On Monday afternoon Mr. John Martgan exhibited a freak pig. The little animal besides its regular snout had a proboscis that was just exactyl like an elephants trunk. It had its root in the animal’s forehead and had the same peculiar formation as an elephant’s trunk. An examination of the animal also showed that with its othre malformations it had two pupils m one eye. As there has been no traveling menagerie in this section for years, and no elephant to scare the mother of the pig it is not thought thnt any prena tal influence caused the malfor mation. —Auburn 'Republican. Affairs af Washington. The Sulloway Pension bill is aguin before congress, having been introduced by the New Ilampshire representative whose name it bears. While the meas ure has not thus far attracted ' any particular attention, there are a good many of the “wise ones’’ who are wondering what the democratic house will do wit it. Perhaps no subject of gcncr 1 al legislation is so generally de sired as tliis, for the reason that there are tens of thousands of old soldiers throughout the coun try who will directly benefit by the increased pensions. The meas ure was easily passed by the house of representatives oL‘ the sixty-first congress and its fail ure in the upper branch during the last days of the session was charged to obstructive tac tics resorted to by Senator Lodge of Massachusetts. The general impression here is that the Mass aehuetts Senator in his opposi tion represented the views of President Taft, who is supposed to be opposed to the additional appropriations of public money which the Sulloway bill calls for. The president and the mem hers of his cabinet have been subjected to a good deal of open criticism by members of congress for the position they have taken in reference to this legislation. Henry C. Emery, chairman of the tariff board, promises that a report of his organization on pulp and newspaper print paper would be laid before President Taft for transmission to congress with in the next week. Mr. Emery snys that the hoard made no pre paration for an extra session of congress and will therefore he unabel to report upon the sub ject of cotton and woo lschedules until next winter. As the coun try has been considerably exer cised over these features of the tariff, this statement by Mr. Emery conies in the nature of disappointment as there is a great demand that the woolen schedules be considered. On the i tlier linnd, the defenders of the nresent schedule K, have assert • d that the statistics to be gath ered by the tariff board will serve to substantiate their ealims that wool groivers andd woolen manufacturersd are receiving no more benefits uner the tariff than they are entitled to. Since the Capitol fire at. Al bany, many visitors to Washing ton have remarked upon the in security of protection given to the National capitol and other government buildings. A con gressional committee has at last taken the matter under investi gaion with a view to remedying the present inadequate safe guards thrown about the people's property during the past week a fire alarm apparatus was install d in the Capitol and it has come to light that this particular pre cautionary measure was ordered as long ago as 1900. A Puzzling Question A teacher was giving a lan guage examination to a third grade class, one of the questions was, “What is your father’s Christian name?” One little la dy studied about it for a few min utes then bashfully made her way to the teacher and said: “Teacher—How shall I ans wer that question? my papa don’t go to church, so he don’t have a Christian name.

There arc various kinds of ex travagance, but the man who squanders his money on a law suit seems to get tho least fun cut of it. A man can be arrested and jail (cl for expressing in his own language what a woman some times means by the word “com mon.” There are a number of cruel jokes in this world, including the one on the town man, who drifts back to the soil to make an easy living. There is no doubt that people pay too much for package goods but there is some occasion for heir prejudice against the bulk article. Our idea of a wise man is one who knows all about a baro meter; one of them has just been telling us, but we didn't “catch it.” If women’s wealth could be iudged by the size of the satchel they carry their money in, most ell the men could marry for mon ey* It would also be better if your •onscienee would stop you be fore you do wrong, instead of •ailing you down after you hit the toboggan.
