I EDITORIALS Back To Railroads Khitflintf ISrothers and Iiarnum and liailey is kouik" lack to this railroads. The hitf cirrus is taking to the rails uirain after an experiment of three years, using buses and I ruck convovs. It was thought three years ago that buses and trucks would be a better mode of travel for the circus, especially since it had cut down its large menagerie of animals except for elephants, zebras, horses, and eight lions and tigers. However, it was found that our high way congestion of today was a greater problem than those which occurred on rails, Flat tires, traffic lights, and other complications, brought about the decision to return to the railroad cars. As a result, they will clatter up to New York City, to open the circus' annual Spring engage ment on March iilst at Madison Square (lard en. Ironically, the incident occurs when increasing highway congestion is causing serious tralfic snarl-ups in all parts of the country even though the railroads are described by government experts as on the way out, as far as passenger travel is con cerned. Hy 1!)70, passenger travel on the railroad, except in certain cases, will be virtually passe. For those who love the railroads, for railroaders, and for all those who love the tradition and folklore of railroads and trains, this is bitter reading. However, the circus which itself was said to be doom ed only a few years ago has returned to the railroads, and maybe this is an onion of good for railroad fans. Recent air crash have not done the railroad.-; :.ny harm, as far as passenger tra."?l is con cerned, either.

That, says Dave Osterhout, Chief of the State Resources Di vision, is typical of the lack of knowledge in many states of the benefits of Nebraska. Continues Osterhout, youth ful energetic salesman of Ne braska, "We have found that many people are not aware of the functions of the Resources Division, nor the work that we are doing in our office." Generally speaking, he says, the division is charged with the development of Nebraska's agri cultural and industrial resources. Through 11 years of existence the division has taken on sev eral functions, which he said are: "1. First and foremost, the search for new Industry, and the development of existing in dustry. "2. Study and research on Ne braska's natural resources. "3. Promoting industrial uses for agricultural products in co operation with the industrial uses Committee. "4. An urban planning divi sion offering liaison between our cities and the state and fed eral planning agencies." Osterhout noted that the di vision also publishes a monthly magazine designed to better ac quaint Nebraskans with "what we have in Nebraska in the way of industry and the work of our division." Nebraska is crossing the threshhold, Osterhout asserts, and "opportunity is ours." He concluded: "We will make mistakes the important thing is that we move ahead." Politics The maneuvering is just a bout over and now emphasis on politics will shift to the talking stage. Theories on why there are so many who took out nomination papers from the Secretary of State's office vary. But gener ajly it adds up to "more inter est in politics." Statehouse observers wonder if this interest is symbolic ol new interest in government It self and this raises the problems of whether the people will de mand more services, or whether there are more people wanting to tighten up purse strings on state spending. Government in Nebraska has grown by leaps and bounds over the past decade. This is not only evidenced by the huge increase of money spent for operating government, but by the large number of new boards and commissions that have sprung up in post war years. As an example, 10 years ago there was no Board of Educa tion, Board of Health, Highway Commission, Board of Nursing, the County of Cass on or before April 30, 1960, in the office of the county clerk; that in the event protests are filed by three or more such persons, hearing will be had to determine wheth er continuation of said license should be allowed.

NOTICE OF RENEWAL OF RETAIL LIQUOR LICENSE Notice is hereby given that pursuant to section 53-135.1 of this act liquor license may be automatically renewed for one year from May 1, 1960, for the following retail liquor licensee, to-wit: Gerald W. Ault Lots 9 & 10, Block 2 Cedar Creek. Nebraska Notice is hereby given that written protests to the issuance of automatic renewal of license may be filed bv any resident of the County of Cass on or before April 30. 1960. in the office of the county clerk; that in the event protests are filed by three or more such persons, hearing will be ha.l to determine wheth er continuation of said license should be allowed. I'll r. , County Clerk No. 4733 March 17, I960. Wheat Commission, Oil and Severance Tax division, nor several others. Some close to the government scene point out, however, that Nebraska must branch out into new areas to "keep up with the times." An example, they say, is the Agricultural Products Re search Committee, set up by the Legislature to find new uses for farm products. They also say that the new boards and commissions are the result of demands by the people themselves for new services, though the people sometimes forget that they will have to pay for the services. Thus, say some political scientists, the coming problem in the next 10 years is the stug gle to find revenue to pay for the new services asked by citi zens. Snow Removal One of the big jobs around the statehouse this winter has been to keep the sidewalks and many steps free of snow. Building Superintendent James Delehant uses crews of men from the state penitenti ary. This, says Delehant, not only keeps the snow off the walks but provides work for inmates of the institution. The State Capitol is surround ed by eight city blocks of side walk, plus a mammoth flight of stairs on the north side of the structure, and entrance to the Statehouse from the sidewalks. Brooks Illness The Illness of Democratic Gov. Ralph G. Brooks has posed some new problems for statehouse newsmen. Brooks was hospitalized 3 times within a year, once for a mild stroke, once to have some teeth removed and then for a series of ailments combined. This opened up a new area in government reporting in Ne braska in the last 20 years. That has produced some prob lems, such as how much detail should be gone into on specific ailments, and phraseology in de scribing them. It has sent newsmen scurry ing for medical dictionaries. This area of public reporting was broached nationally in the case of the first illness of Presi dent Eisenhower. Livestock Trade Has Mixed Start On Omaha Market Livestock trade got off to a varied start this week at Oma ha. The Monday cattle and cult runs were up. In fat cattle trade, scattered early sales of better steers were steady to weak, but most slaugh ter steers, yearlings and heifers were 25-50c lower or as much as $1 under a week earlier. Better steers and yearlings Monday sold from $27 to $28.25, latter weighing 1058. Weights to 1401 reached $28 and weights to 1309, $27.75. There were numer ous steers and yearlings in a range of $24.50 to $28.75, latter including weights to 1507. Lesser finish sold at $24 down, several lots of Holstein steers $20-21. The better end of the fed heif er run cleared at $26.25-$27.25, latter weighing 935 more at $24.50-$26, still others $24 c'own. Hogs sold steady to strong, instances 25c higher, butchers weighing 190-300, $15-$16.50, top $16.60. Last week's hog top at Omaha was $17.25, highest since last June. Sows Monday at Oma-' ha sold largely steady, 270-550's $13.50-$14.75.
