TWO LAWS NEED
SOffiCHAMGES
Railway Commission Suggests
That Some Amendments
Are Necessary.
TO GOVERN POWER LINES
(From a Staff torrenpondent.)
Lincoln, Jan. 1. (Special.) Two
laws passed by the last legislature
need fixing, according to the report
of the State Railway commission filed
with the governor.
These are the public warehouse law
and the electric transmission law.
Regarding the former the commission
believes that the law should be
changed so as to give the farmer more
protection. As it is now an elevator
may store grain in excess of the bond
given and the commission believes
that this should be remedied to cover
all the capacity of the elevator.
The commission says that the elec
tric transmission law came at just the
right time as construction of high
voltage lines has increased consider
ably during the last two years and in
dications point to a more rapid de
velopment in the future, but the act
needs penalties.
Nebraska suffered with other states
from car shortage, but because of the
activity of its state commission fared
better than either Kansas or Okla
homa on the south or Colorado and
other states on the west.

and finally turned back to the gov
ernment. This rechecking or "paper
work," as it is called in the army, in
volves considerable time, as every
thing must balance.
As soon as it is determined when
all the "paper work" will be finished,
the date for the muster out will be
set, usually about seven days ahead,
as the muster rolls must be in the
hands of the paymaster at least five
days ahead of time, so that he may
make out the payrolls.
On the final day of the muster out
the men will march to the pay table,
receive their money and then will
hoard a train for their home towns.
This is only a skeleton of the work
involved.

the fight being marked by a running

Newspaper Office Raided
For Anarchist Records
San Francisco, Cal, Jan. . Offi
cials of the district attorney's office
raided the editorial rooms of the
Blast, a local anarchist organ. Saliir
day, ind seized the subscription list,
letter and paper files, manuscripts,
private correspondence and cartoons,
it was learned here today. The raid
was made, it was said, for the pur
pose of securing evidence to be used
in the prosecution of Thomas J.
Mooney, alleged ringleader in the
conspiracy which had its climax July
22 in a bomb explosion which caused
the death of two persons, during a
preparedness parade.
Mooncy's trial will begin Wednes
day. According to District Attorney
Charles Fickert, the Blast "had some
information we wanted and we went
and got it. The bomb plot was
hatched in the Blast office."
Miss Eleanors Fitzgerald, associate
editor of the Blast, said the officers
were in possession of the office for
three hours. "Their conduct," she
said, "was high-handed, illegeal and
without justification."
The Blast office was raided by the
district attorney's deputies July 2",
but on that occasion, Fickert, said
Alexander Berkman, the editor, was
present, and they got nothing of
value.

ForConstipation
TOO MUCH HURRY DOES IT
Are you a typical American
hurrying and worrying yourself
into sickness, and then trying to
hurry out via the pill route?
Laxative and cathartic pillsjwon't
rid you of constipation. Your
physician will tell you not to use
them because, by weakening the
normal processes of evacuation,
they frequently make constipa
tion chronic.
Nujol offers you a surer, more
rational relief f rom bowel trouble.
It relieves constipation by soften
ing the intestinal contents. It does
not bring about the harmful
stimulation and reaction which
follow the use of the ordinary
drug remedies.
N'tjol is bottled at the refinery
and ia aold onlr in pint bottles bear
ing the name Nujol and the imprint
of the Standard Oil Company (Naw
Jeraey). Refute substitutes be sure
you get the genuine. Write today for
