WHOLESALERS
NOT REQUIRED
TO PAY LICENSE
Dealers Who Sell Tobacco
But Not Cigarets, Are
; Not Affected by
New Law.
Lincoln, July 12. Wholesale
dealer in tobacco -who do not sell
cigarets -will not have to take out
m license, according to an opinion
given outt at the office of the attor-
. Kniitl Th inmtinv fnmM
f rom a -wholesale grocer firm in
Lincoln and is covered in the fol
lowing: , ,
v "Pursuant to your telephone in
quiry as to whether or not a wtiole
aler of tobacco who does not han
dle cigarets is required to obtain a
license under House Roll 297, en
acted by the last legislature, this
'jfenartmrnt has eiven the matter
aome consideration andswe submiM
the following as our construction
ef this law:
' "Section 1 of the act provides:
'It hall be unlawful for any
jperson, partnership or corporation
to sell, keep for sale or give away
' any cigars, tobSeco, cigarets or cig
aret material to any one, without
first obtaining a license as herein
after provided.'
; , "This would seem at first glance
to include any wholesale concern
and to also include the giving away
of tobacco in any fprm.
; "However, Section 4 of the act
provides what license fee shall be
charged, as follows:
lou- ma license ice iui any pct-
son, partnership or corporation, sell
ing at retail shall be , . . Pro
dded, that any person, partnership
or corporation selling cigarettes at
wholesale shall pay a license fee of
$ioa"
, Wholesalers Not Affected. 4
'-.It therefore follows that the only
license fee provided for ;s for the
.retailing of tobacco in any form or
thj wholesaling of cigarettes. No
license fee is provided for to be paid
not wholesale cigarettes; n6r is any
license fee provided for for the giv
ing away of tobacco in any form.
' It therefor follows that, in our
opinion, a wholesale concern may
sell at wholesale tobacco without
a license providing they do not sell
cigarettes, and it also follows that
it it lawiui to giva away toDaceo
or cigarettes without a license. It
does not follow that the giving
away of tobaccc! which is m fact
a sale bat M mad as a gift as a
sabterfug to. covet tale would be
lawful without a license! ft must be
bona fide gift to b permissible
without 4 license,
. The abova ia based upon the
roeory that no license fee can be

' "I am Jor tha leagua of nations
whenever its constitution is framed
so that America will' not ba out

Harding of Iowa at the Hotel Fon-
. tenellti yesterday afternoon. Gover
nor Harding was in Omaha for only
a few hours, having come over from
.De$ Moines for the transaction of
personal business.
"Few people,' he added, "realize
that ours, is the oldest government
in the world today. The Japanese
constitution is only two years old
and every othr Nation in the world
today, has changed its government
sir.ee the fathers founded this re
public. It would be folly to turn
the running of this, the most suc
cessful government on the -earth,
over to a new untried scheme and
especially to one that put it under
the dominion of peoples who have
.failed while we have succeeded.".
. Governor Harding said he had not
talked to a single soldier but who
was unequivocally opposed to the
special treaty, with France, and that
since; the publication of this docu
ment there had been a noticeabla
trend in the state of Iowa against
' the league covenant among both the
former Soldiers and the civilians;
I am satisfied, he continued,
"that the "democrats will be glad to
accept certain reservations and
changes in the text of the peace
treaty, not only to insure its adop

Lincoln, July 12. While Nebras
ka's bumpers wheat crop will not
meet expectations on yield and qual

wheat crop of the state, is also badly
damaged, according to the July crop
report made public t6day by A. E.
Anderson and E. R. Danielson of
the bureau of crop estimates and
Nebraska Boafd of Agriculture. Tha
average condition ot spring wheat,
the report states, is reduced to 89
per cent, which forecasts 12,141,000
bushels. ,
Winter wheat, which a few days
before harvest had the appearance
of a record-breaking crop, according
to the latest special returns received
from all parts of the state, indicate
that there will be 25 per cent less
wheat than expected because of pre
mature ripening caused by a tew

is vety favorable.
Crop below Expectations.
"The winter .wheat crop will not

they report Tuly"25 per cent less
than expected. Practically all call
attention to a larger per cent of ppor
ly filled grain and many are greatly
disappointed. Theories advanced as
to the cause of this unexpected de-,
velopment.are , as follows: Prema-'
ture ripningj caused by a few days
of i high temperatures during the

due to rust, the peculiar situation in
which wheat turned from green to

Von Bemstorff Is .
Supporting Harden for
Arnbassador to U. S.
i
(By CnrMrtal -ftarriM.)
New York, July 12. Maximilian
llarden, arch foe of-autocracy, who
is slated for the .post of the first
ambassador of the German republic
to the United States, is the choice
of Von Bernstorff, it was declared
today. '
As yet this is only inspired gos
sip. Wilhelmstrasse has sent out
one of its "kites" to glean opinion,
especially in the United States. Nor
is it certain that the firebrand editor
of the Die Zuknnft would accept,
though his friends believe he will.
The all powerful man in the for
eign office today is -Count Johann
Heinrich von Bernstorff. When he
was imperial German ambassador in
Washington, Harden said many a
good word about him. It is now
Commonly known that Bernstorff
worked tooth and nail for the
preservation of peace with the
United States, sometimes even act
ing against the orders of his own
government. 1 .
In those days, when Tirpitz
swamped Germany with U-boat
propaganda, Harden was one of the
few men that warned the German
people of the danger , of "dragging
the American Goliath in against
us."
When Dr. - Bernhard Dernburg
went on his American rampage,
culminating in this Lusitania speech
which . resulted in his speedy de
parture, Harden in his Zukunft bit
terly assailed the government for
allowing the former colonial minis
ter to "butt in" on the German am
bassador. s .
It is, therefore, but natural that
the court should now turn to the
famous editor as his succesor in the
American capital. But much more
than personar gratitude figures ki
the selection of Harden for this
post.

BROTHERHOOD
HAS PLAN TO
RON RAILROADS
Endorses Idea Already Pre
sented to Interstate Com
merce Committee of
the Senate.
Denver, Col., July 12. The Broth
erhood of Firemen and Enginemen,
in convention here, endorsed a plan
for publit opetation of the railroad
of the country, which already, has
been presented to the interstate
commerce committee of the United
States senate by representatives of
the railroad brotherhoods.
The resolution, passed by the con
tention, reads in part as follows:
"There is now pending before the
American people and their, repre
sentatives the political solution of
the railway problem and every in
dustrial and human activity, the life
of every community and tne pros
perity and happiness of every citi
zen are to a great extent dependent
upon the proper solution of this
problem.
Want New Privileges.
"It is demanded by the private
ownership of these properties, as a
condition on which they will re
sume control and operation thereof,
that the American, people guarantee
them privilieges which they have
not heretofore enjoyed; i. e., the
right to earn a guaranteed return on
the property investment, notwith
standing the fact that such a guar
antee would make valid as a direct
obligatiion of the people of the Uni
ted States all fictitious securities,
stock dividends and discounted
bonds issued by all the railroads
without consideration of, and rep
resenting no service to the Ameri
can people. If such guarantees are
to be made good, rates must be
raised tar in excess of the present
fixed level, or in default of such in
creased rates, wages must be re
duced far below the level as now
fixed or both.
Present Reorganization Plan.
"There has been presented to the
senate committee on interstate com
merce a plan for a reorganization of
the railroad industry, such plan
originating with railway employes.
This plan will also be introduced in
Congress. This labor plan provides
for immediate public ownership of
these properties, the protection of
every dollar honestly and actually
invested as well as the assurance of
in one of the season's most extraor
dinary selling

an adequate return on such invest
ment without any increase in rates.
This plan guarantees to the public
the protection of its interests in pro
curing Ultimate service at cost and at
the sametime secures for tht wage
earner a fair share of the profits pro
duced by his skill, efficiency and
ecditomy.
Provides for Joint Control
"This labor plan provides for joint
control of the railroad industry
through a board of directors repre
senting equally the wage earner, the
management and the public; and it
not only guarantees to the wage
earners as a class the full protection
of all their interests without invad
ing the interests of any other classes
or society, but also throws open to
each individual the golden opportun
ity for full development of his pow
