LEAGUE WANTS
NEWSTATUTES
Recommendations Made in
Answer to Letter From Governor-elect
McKelvie to
Farmers' Organizations.
Lincoln, Neb., Dec. 29 (Special.)
In answer to Governor-elect Mc
Kelvie's request to the farm organ
izations of the state, the executive
committee of the National Nonpar
tisan league of Nebraska has sub
mitted a proposed legislative pro
gram in which they recommend a
number of things.
They say that not even in time
of war haj the government been
able to check the "inordinate greed
and bare-faced fraud'' of the spec
ulators in the necessities of life, and
give, as a remedy, the state owner
ship of one or more flour mills,
creameries, beet sugar factories,
terminal elevators, stock yards,
packing houses and cold storage
plants. They also recommend some
form of rural credit banks, run by
the government, and operated at
cost.
Taxation Wrong.
They say that under the present
system of taxation the cost of the
government falls on those least anle
to pay, whereas this cost should be
raised largely from taxes on excess
profits and incomes, inheritances
and unearned community-created
values. . They also say that the
amount of land which any one per
son or association or corporation
, may own should be limited, depend
ing on the kind of land and the
value of it.
They say that all possible legis
lative encouragement should be
given to the co-operation of farm
ers for various purposes and that
all associations of this kind should
be exempt from the state occupa
tion tax.
Free Employment Bureaus.
They want the state to co-operate
with the federal government to
maintain free employment bureaus,
and say that in order to regulate
the amount of surplus labor the
abolition of the contract system of
public work is jiiecessary.
They suggest that, since the loss
of crops by hail is not only a loss
to the owner but to the entire com
munity, state hall insurance should
be maintained by a tax of a few
cents per acre on all land.
Federal ownership of telephone
and telegraph lines, a state hog
1 cholera syrum plant, and the plac
ing of the administration of the
s ate and county affairs on an effi
ciency basis by weeding out all un
necessary boards and commissions
by the placing of all employes under
civil service is also recommended.

From a Staff Correspondent.
Lincoln, Dec. 29 (Special.) He
was from ''Somewhere in Mass?
chusetts," and he had just come
from "Somewhere in France."
He had come to Lincoln for a
few days for the purpose of waiting
until his discharge from service
should reach him. It had come that
day and Capt. Frank O'Neill, v ho
admitted he was from the Old Bav
state, shed his uniform, dived into
the citizen clothes he had not ha'J
an opportunity to wear for many a
long month and proceeded to have
a good time.
Lincoln is a dry town, but the
captain had found convivial friends
and his tongue was moving swiftly
as he sat at a table in one of the
city's first-class palatial hotels.
Somebody objected to the loud man
ner in which the captain was talk
ing and when the head waiter ex
postulated with him kindly, was
very emphatically told to go to
some warm climate. Then the po
lice were called.
However, before the minion of
the law arrived, the captain had fin
ished his luncheon and had gone
to the sidewalk in front of the ho
tel in search of fresh air and di
version, but was accompanied by his
conversation which was at times
more forcible than elegant.
Two big minions of the law ar
rived and proceeded to invite the
captain to take a walk. Just at this
time there was an idea in the brain
They seized the captain, or more
appropriately, they attempted to
I seize the captain. Smack, and a po
liceman reeled back against the side
of the hotel while his co-worker
went to sleep on the sidewalk.
Then the hurry-up call was sent
in and policemen came flying from
all directions. Together with the
two who by this time had gained
their equilibrium, eight husky min
ions of the law made a concerted
rush on the captain. A crowd sui
rounded them. As fast as they camt;
up the captain would send his good
right in the direction of the oncom
ing foe while with the other ha
would wrest from theis hands their
trusty clubs.
Smash! A big 250-pound police
man went backward through thr
crowd and rolled to the middle of
the street. Another smash and an
other policeman caressed the side
walk. Bluecoats were flying through
the air in every direction while the
fighting captain was having more
fun than anybody. More reinforce
ments and numbers proved too
many for the man from the trench
es and he was finally surrounded
and forced to surrender.
"My Gawd," said the big police
man, after the war was over and he
had managed to find his way back
through the crowd. "If all them
Yanks fought like that fellow does,
it's no wonder the Dutch were
licked."
The next day the captain was dis
charged honorably discharged
and was told that the people back
in the old Bay state were anxious
to see him and he left on the next
train.

Creighton Votes That
German Must Not Be
Used in the Schools
Creighton, Neb., Dec. 29 (Spe
cial.) The foreign language ques
tion was thoroughly discussed at a
patriotic mass meeting called by the
Creighton home guards at the muni
cipal building. The meeting was
addressed by Dr. W. H. Mullen and
Mayor W. H. Harms of Bloomfield.
About 500 citizens were in attend
ance. Both of the speakers dwelt
upon the duties of citizens regard
ing the language question. Mayor
Harms, a native-born German, said,
in the course of his speech, that the
German language must go out of
the affairs of American public life
the schools, the churches and ali
public gatherings. He said of
course we must feed the hungry
German, but we must have the
spoon in one hand, a loaded pistol
in the other and our eyes wide open.
The applause that greeted all these
statements showed that the citizens
were in hearty sympathy with Mr.
Harms' stand. The following reso
lutions were read and adopted by a
unanimous standing vote:
"Resolved, That this mass meet
ing of citizens shall go on record as
being opposed to any use of the
German language being taught,
preached or spoken in any school,
church or at any public gathering
in this vicinity." A

UNITED STATES
IS INCREASING
BRAZJl. TRADE
Need American Representa
tion and Fast Freight Ser
vice to All Latin Ports,
Says Commissioner.
New York, United States manu
facturers and experts have increas
their trade in Brazil and other South
American countries bv more than
160 per cent since th beginning of
the war, according to J. W. Sanger,
trade commissioner of the United
Jtates government bureau of for
eign and domestic commerce, who
recently returned from a survey of
the business opportunities south of
the equator.
"Imagine ten largs stores in one
big city and one of these stores is
doing more business than all the
other nine combined," declared Mr.
Sanger, "and that will give you some
idea of the position we are in to
day. It is an amazing record. We
are now selling South American
countries more than i'alf of every
thing they import. Our total export
trade is now counted in billions of
dollars." -
The commisssipner said that "with
the signing of a peace treaty a prac
tical certainty within t'-e six months
or a year, it is not a day too soon
to begin making definite plans to
meet the keen competition in foreign
trade that must come immediatly."
The hundreds of millions of dol
lars invested in new factories and
ships, he said, mean that America
must find fresh outlets for her en
terprise and industry.
Need Better Service.
"V need more and better direct
rpresentation of our n anufacturers
in the important trade centers of
Brazil and other South American
countries," he said. "This may come
about through taking the fullest ad
vantage of the new Webb export
trade act or in other practical ways
"We also need a fast and regular
freight service to every important
port of Latin America," said Mr.
Sanger. "Without it we will be as
crippled as a department store that
depends upon casual messenger boys
to make its deliviries. Then again
we must be prepared to meet the
actual needs of these countries re
garding the extension of credits.
"The biggest single incentive to
foreign trade is foreign investments.
Unfortunately our holdings in South
America are practically negligible.
In a short time our immense surplus
capital will seek investment. Brazil,
in particular, needs this capital and
will pay us handsomely for it.
Brazil Untouched.
"How many people in the United
States know that Brazil alone is
larger than all the United States;
yet, except for its thinly settled
coast line, is practically untouched?
It is one of the richest countries
in the world and is destined o de
velop along similar lines to our own
country in the last hundred years.
It has every natural resource that we
had and, in addition, others that
nature did not give us. Our talk
ing machines, typewriters, sewing
machines, safety razors and a multi
tude of other American products
are standard with Brazilians today.
It is up to us to make just as well
known the thousands of other prod
ucts that we make and that they
need just as much."
To accomplish this, Mr. Sanger
said, it was necessary for American
manufacturers to advertise their
goods "down there." In South
America, he said, advertising meth
ods are crude and much as they
were in the United States 30 or
more years ago.
"We have scarcely even begun to
use this "power, this promoter of
sales and good will, in South Ameri
ca," continued Mr. Sanger. "I have
unmistakable evidence that the peo
ole of that country respond even to
the crude forms of advertising of
fered them.
Need American Men.
"Buenos Aires, the capital of Ar
gentina, has splendid newspapers
with circulations ranging around
150,000 daily. Brazilian dailies have
proven . excellent mediums for ad
vertising. "The biggest thing that could hap
pen to advertising down there would
be for broad-gauged American ad
vertising men, to take more inter
est in it. These countries await the
stimulus of American advertising
genius properly adjusted to meet
their needs. But let the American
advertising men put this in their
note books, Spanish is the language
of all South .America except Brazil,
where Portuguese is spoken. Bra
zilians are offended if you write or
speak to them in Spanish."
Bergen Takes on Added
Importance Since War
Bergen, Norway Since " the war
began Bergen has taken on added
importance as a shipping center. It
has been a point whre neutral ships
gathered to be convoyed through
danger zones and all passengers em
barked for British and Scottish
ports. Because of the great-influx
of English-speaking tourists in
normal times, English was spoken
very generally in the larger cities
and towns even before the war, but
now nearly all ' Norwegians speak
English. Foreign refugees from
Russia and Finland recently have
kept all the resort hotels in the
Norwegian mountains crowded.
Travel has far exceeded the capacity
of the railway between Christiana
and Bergen and the inns have been
unable to accommodate the great
mass of refugees who ere endeavor

North sea on the crowded stea.ners

Senator Reed Attacks
League of Nations Scheme
New York, Dec. 29. The theory
of a league of nations is no new
discovery, but is thousands of years
old, having appeared in various
torms and failed of its purpose, de
clared Senator James A. Reed of
Missouri, in an address t a dinner
of the Society of Arts and Sciences
here tonight.
He predicted the plan would not
"stand the acid test of reason and
experience" and in explaining what
he believed was meant by a league
of nations, said generally the propos
al embraced every sort of intellec
tual vagary and poet'c fancy.
Senator Reed attacked the pro
posed league as a surrender of the
rights for which the American rev
olutionists fought and a violation of
the warning of "the fathers of the
republic against cntagling alliances."

Piece Work Ordered
Discontinued by the
R. R. Administration
Lincoln, Dec. 29. (Special.) On
orders from the national railroad ad
ministration, pay by piece work at
the Havelock railroad shops of the
Burlington willsoon be abandoned.
This will effect nearly every work
man in the Havelock shops. store
house and also the whole system,
it is said.
Some of'the men in the Havelock
shops, it is claimed, will not make
as much money as they did before.
Being paid by the piece they have
been in the habit of rushing the
work with the result that the Bur
lington has been able to get more
work out. While more profitable to
many of the men it was also pro
fitable to the road. ,
One man, in discussing the situa
tion, said: "The government can
turn back the physical property of
the railroad's possibility in as good
shape as it found the property when
it took over as a war measure; but
can it turn back the wage schedules,
the employes and the machinery for
managing and operating economic
ally railroad property? This un
scrambling job grows bigger every
day and if long delayed it will be a
big job to tackle."

Italian Minister Resigns;
Disagrees With Sonnino

socialist minister of military aid

views differing from those of Baron
Sonnino, the foreign minister, with
respect to the war settlement.
Baron Sonnino always has insist

was agreed upon by the treaty of
London. Sienor Bissolati, on the

to the many affected. Despite the
desire of Marshal Reed to soften the
sternness of the order by executing ; f
it in the most humane' manner pos- '
sible, it nevertheless worked hard , K
ship on a number of Council Bluffs
people, . especially those 'who were
employed daily in Omaha. The '
only way they could go to- their I
daily tasks was to'secure from Mar
shal Reed's office a permit to leave
the state. The permit became of
no value until it was approved bv
either the United States marshal or
the chief of police of Omaha, and
then, under the department regula-i
tions, only for the day for which it l
was issued. With the approval of
the department, arrangements were .
made by which a large part of this
red tape was eliminated. Had it not
been for the good sense and innate .
kindness of heart of Marshal Reed
and Deputy Marshal Shoemaker, the ;
narasnips would nave oeen very :t
much greater. The complete ab- ;'
rogation of the order removes all ;
restrictions and the "alien enemy"
has ceased to be such.,' ,

IDEAL gmaircliainis of the home!
Paris, Oct. 3. A cable from America says that instead of turning swords bto plowshares, the manufacturers are turning
radiator into grenades and shells. Apartment and home dwellers earnestly" hope that after the war the American v ',.'
Radiator Company will return to making boilers and radiators, which are equally hot stuff. ' ' '
, . From The Stars and Stripes, Army Newspaper. "
Iron was so greatly needed for munitions for Our Boys that we stopped pushing the sale and
manufacture of IDEAL Boilers and AMERICAN Radiators. Now with the ending of the
War, coal economy again becomes the most urgent need and duty of all. ' v
With IDEAL-AMERICAN
heating there is no need
to burn high priced coal
IDEAL Boilers hold enough coal to last 24 hours. All IDEAL Boilers are or may be fitted with an ARCO
Temperature Regulator which automatically controls the draft- anci check-dampers giving you tittle to liberal
amount of heat to suit quick weather changes. Stops all fuel waste and saves "minding the fire,"
poking, and the fussing that is the aggravation of old-fashioned heating devices.
