State Capitol building dedicated to brave settlers
By Mclinda Norris
The year was 1)32.
In the midst of a drought and depress
ion, Nebraskans dedicated the completion
of the state capitol building to the brave
pioneers who settled Lincoln and Nebra
ska. Although the dedication glorified the
courage of the first Nebraskans, it served as
an inspiration to their ancestors who were
fighting to save their land.
News of that dedication, and the events
listed below came from the Evening State
Journal, Nebraska's only newspaper in
1932; and Tower on the Plains, a 100-year
history of Lincoln by R. Ncalc Copple,
dean of UNL's School of Journalism.
1932. It was the twelfth year of prohibi
tion, Herbert Hoover was running for re
election, the Lindburg baby was kidnap
ped, and Adolf Hitler lost the German
presidential election.
In Nebraska, eight northern counties,
plagued by a summer drought and grass
hoopers, received aid during a winter bliz
zard from the American Red Cross to feed
starving cattle, horses and swine.
Drought relief in 87 counties in Nebra
ska, Montana and North and South Dakota
cost the Red Cross $1 million.
Headquartered in Norfolk, the Red
Cross accepted donations from across the
state and organized the Burlington and
Northwest railroads to donate free freight.
Gov. Charley Bryan, brother to William
Jennings Bryan, refused to call a special
session of the Nebraska Legislature to allo
cate the $12,000 in state relief fund to
counties for food, clothing, hay and grain.

"Not unless I'm kidnapped," he said,
would he leave the state for Lt. Gov.
T.W. Metcalfe to call the session.
As the year dragged on, sheriffs auc
tions were held on the steps of the court
house. Cattle, horses and machines were
put on the block to satisfy mortgage re
quirements for farmers.
Looking for work, farmers came to Lin
coln and joined relief recipients picking
watergrass from the courthouse lawn.
Goodwill Industries opened its doors
in Lincoln as an aid to the depression.
The Lincoln Trust Company and its
subsidiary, Lincoln Safe Deposit Company,
