Charter Refused
by State Board for
Bank at Hazzarc
Lincoln, July 26 The State Bank
ing board today refused to issue a
charter to the Farmers State bank
of Hazzard, of which W. F. Saun
ders and Carl E. Peters of Litch
field were the proposed president
and cashier, respectively, for the
reason that the applicants had not
complied with the law relative to
resident stockholders, wherein SO
per cent of the stockholders of a
proposed bank shall live in the town
or immediate vicinity of the town
wherein the bank is to be located.
In this instance the stockholders
were all from Litchfield.
The application of the Commer
cial State bank of Dewitt was with
drawn. The following bank charters were
issued:
Normal State Bank, Normal; cap
ital stock, $15,000; T. C. Wilson,
president; H. M. Westcott, vice
president; R. Unzicker, cashier.
Farmers State ' Bank, Unadilla;
capital stock, $15,000; G. W. Darner,
president; S. E. Darner, vice presi
dent; C. O. Darner, cashier; E. R.
Darner, assistant cashier.
Increases of capital stock were
approved as follows:
Farmers State Bank, Platte Cen
ter, $20,000 to $30,000; Security
State Bank, Ravenna, $25,000 to
$30,000; State Bank, Bladen, $15,000

Commission Makes New
Rate on Truck Hauling
Lincoln, July 26. The State Rail
way commission has issued an order
amending its former order regard
ing auto truck rates in that in the
first order there was no rate made
whereby should the haul be only
one way that a charge sufficient to
cover both ways could be made.
The commission now allows a
rate of HVi cents per ton per mile
with 12J4 cents for the round trip
back empty. All suburban towns
near Lincoln are counted as a part
of Lincoln in making drives.
This order had to be made be
cause ir hauling wheat to market
the trip back necessarily had to be
empty.
Each year (hiring harvest time the
railroads have experienced difficulty
in holding section men on their
jobs. This year it has been more
than difficult, especially hrough
the agricultural portions of Ne
braska. Omaha lines operating to the
north, west and south pass through
the greatest winter wheat growing
country on earth and consequently
during the last two weeks there has
been an abnormal demand for men
to aid in gathering the bumper
crop, the railroads have been pay
ing their section men 37 to 40 cents
an hour, but the can ot tne narvest
took them to the fields.
According to railroad superin
tendents, after the harvest started
long stretches of Nebraska roads
were left without men to work on
the sections, only the bosses remain
ing. They rode the lines on their
speeders and spent their time
watching for broken rails and flag
ging tor bad spots in the tracks.
Time and again, full crews of men
started out on their sections and
proceeding a few miles, were lured
by '' the call of the fields and the
wage of $5 a day and board and
lodging. When they heard this call,
they at once got off the railroad
right-of-way and into the wheat
fields. The harvest is practically
over and railroad officials anticipate
that most of theit old employes will
return to their jdbs and that main
tenance will go on as before.
Equalization Board
Reviews Deductions
in Bank Assessments
Lincoln, July 26. (Special.)
Nine counties have not made re
ports of valuation to Secretary Os
borne of the State Board of Equali
zation, and until these are in the
total valuation of' the state cannot
be ascertained. The secretary has
authority under the law to send a
man after the reports at the expense
of the county if they are not on
hand within a reasonable time.
The state board met this morning
and considered the matter of the
First National bank of York, which
had deducted from its assessed val
uation $5,500 for real estate mort
gages, and the Fidelity Trust com
pany of Fremont, which had de
ducted $72,500, leaving its assess
ment about $24,000.
The matter of the assessment of
518 head of cattle in controversy
between Box Butte and Morrill
counties v.as also taken up by the
board. The cattle are owned by
Charles, Tiernan, owner of ranches
in both counties. Box Butte county
claims that Tiernan turned in his
assessment in Morrill county be
cause he had had trouble with, the
assessor of Box Butte county. It is
claimed the cattle were raised in
Box Butte county and were assessed
there last year. The matter will be
referred to the Box Butte county
board.
The report of the assessor from
Scotts Bluff county was not satis
factory in the mind of Secretary Os
borne. Banks were allowed to de
duct stock owned in federal land
banks, interest on time deposits and
to deduct real estate at a higher
figure than was carriqd on its books
All Omaha banks thave lived up
to the law in making deductions
and the board is satisfied with the
reports from Douglas county.
Sign Up Real Airplane
Thriller for State Fair
Lincoln, July 26. Secretary Dan
ielson of the Nebraska State Fair
association is feeling exceedingly
jubilant 'as he has received the con
tract which insures for the people of
Nebraska who attend the state fair
this fall the greatest attraction in
the way of a "thriller" that could
be secured-.
Lieut. Omer Locklear, the flyer
who leaps from one airplane to
another while several thousand feet
in the air, crawls all over the plane
when in motion and does a lot of
other stunts, will appear Tuesday,
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.
One of the plants will be driven by
Lieut. Milton Elliott and the other
by Lieut. Shirley Short, both exper
ienced army flyers.
Broom Manufacturers
Protest Competition
of State Penitentiary
Lincoln, July 26. Broom manu
facturers of the state are strenu
ously objecting to the state enter
ing the broom market through the
manufacture of brooms at the state
penitentiary, in competition with
private manufacturers.
A delegation of manufacturers
visited the office of the State Board
of Control Saturday and presented
their objections. Henry Stuve of
the Deshler company, Clinton R.
Lee of the Lincoln company, R.
W. Tyier of Lincoln, representing
the Oklahoma Broom campany,
and others said that there was no
objection to the state manufactur
ing for its own use, but that when
the plant at the "pen" was given
an appropriation it had been repre
sented to them that the state would
stay out of the open market. They
insisted that 40 dozen a day was
the limit which the penitentiary
was to make, but it now was making
twice that number and selling them
in other states. I he labor tor
making a dozen brooms cost $1.46
in a private plant, but the state
could make brooms at convict labor
for 60 cents a dozen.
The board has taken the matter
under advisement.

Japanese Laborers
Joining in Demand
for Higher Wages
New York, July 26. Unrest
among the labor elements of Japan
has reached a stage demanding
government efforts to settle the
situation according to a statement
issued by D. Sakai of Tokyo, before
he sailed on the liner Royal George
to study labor conditions in Europe
for his government.
Mr. Sakai. who has been secre
tary of a Japanese society on the
Pacific coast, said that agitators
have created such dissension among
the working classes in Japan that
the government . recognizes the
necessity of a labor wage near an
eaualitv with the workingmen of
other countries. The average
laborer of Japan, he said, is paid
about 10 cents an hour, while skilled
workmen receive about 30 cents an
hour. They work 14 hours a day
he added.
Mr. Sakai also discussed the plans
of the Japanese government looking
toward an extension oi mcir mrr

FARMERS UNION
IS DEFENDED BY
NEBRASKA MAN
L. M. Sawyer of Clay County
Says Farmers Are Follow
ing Lead of Cities by
Organizing.
That farmers have a perfect righl
to organize for mutual benefit and
protection is the opinion of L. M.
Sawyer, Clay county, who was in
Omaha last week as a delegate to
the annual meeting of the Nebraska
Farmers' union. Speaking of or
ganizing, he said:
"Here in the city we find the Cen
tral Labor union for the laboring
men, an organization made up of
delegates from numerous trades un
ions. Then we find the Chamber of
Commerce, the Real Estate ex
change, the Business Mens' associa
tion, the Retail Grocers' association
and half a score of other organiza
tions. The real facts are, that while
it is given out that these organiza
tions are social and for entertaining
purposes, we all know that their
primary aim is to control and regu-,
late the prices of the commodities
in which the members deal and are
interested.
"If the farmers organize and per
fect plans for marketing their grain
and selling their livestock and agri
cultural products without arranging
for a middle man to tr.ke his bit out
of the profits, thev are marked down
as enemies of trade and industry artd
members of an element dangerous to
society.
"There is nothing to it. We are
members of the Farmers' union and
nonviinsianoing mat iaci, we are
just as good citizens ap you will find
anywhere. In organizing our union,
we are simply following the lead of
others. We are doing community
buying and selliner and are absorb
ing the profits that otherwise would
go to the middle man. The idea is
growing and indications are that it
will not be very long before the plan
of community or co-operative buy-
ng will be the rule everywhere, both
n the country and city.

MARMON
34
Before the advent of the Marmon 34
it was the standard practice of motor
car builders to produce new models
that involved but minor changes of
former designs.
In those days new designs were merely
modifications of previous models.
But with the creation of the Marmon
34 came a decided and basic departure
from those old standards. By the sim
plification of the whole design and the
'entire elimination of non-essentials a
new type of light weight car was pro
duced. Fundamentally the whole idea
of the Marmon 34 was revolutionary.
Noteworthy deviations from former
practice were the aluminum motor, the
redesigned light chassis, and a simplifi
cation of the entire car that is now the
ruling tendency in the designs of modern
motor cars. The Marmon 34 is ver
itably a standard bearer of advanced
motor car design.
