LANGUAGE BILL
PASSED AFTER
FIGHT IN DIET
:
Overwhelming Vote Favors
English as Official
Language in State
And Schools.
Lincoln, Neb., Feb. 19. (Special.)
. After a hard and windy battle in
the constitutional convention the
English language won out by a de
cisive vote in which only nine mem
bers voted against its recommenda
tion for passage.
Amendments were voted down by
so close a vote that friends of the
bill became agitated for fear the bill
would be defeated. The amendments,
while not vital to the bill, gave op
portunity for oratory.
Those voting against the bill were
Albert of Platte, Alder of Brown,
Bryant of Cedar, Cornell of Cherry,
Donohoe of Douglas, Eperson of
Clav, Lahners of Thayer, Landgren
of Fillmore. Thielen of Platte and
Votava of Douglas.
Text of Proposal.
The bill reads: "The English is
hereby declared to be the official
language of this state, and all official
proceedings, records and . publica
tions shall be in such language, and
the common school branches shall
be taught in said language in public,
private, denomination and parochial
schools."
At the close of the discussion
Judge Oleson inquired of Delegate
McDonnald, 'who maae tne closing
soeech in favor of the proposal, if
it was the intent of Hie proposal to
cut out the Latin phrases in legal
matters. Mr. McDonnald said it
would not. Judge Norval created
some amusement by--declaring, "I
hope so." .
Raise Debt Limit
Half a million dollars is the limit
o which the state can go into debt,
as reported out by the contmittee on
public indebtedness. This raises the
limit from $100,000 and win prob
ably stop attempfs" "made by some
members to raise the limit of in
debtedness much above" that figure.
A proposal by Junkin putting the
limit to $l per capita was reported
for indefinite postponement, as was
mother by Sughrous making the
limit 2 per cent of the assessed
valuation.

NEED OF CHURCH
TRAINING TOLD
AT CONFERENCE
Typical Conditions " in Ne
braska Counties Explained
At Interchurch World
Movement Sessions. N4
Lincoln, Neb., Feb. 19. (Special
Telegram.) The religious story of
a typical Nebraska county was told
the state-wide meeting of -Nebraska
ministers by Karl W. G. Hiller of
Lincoln, supervisor of the inter
church world movement survey.
Mr. Hiller's story was a part of the
program which is being devoted' to
telling the need of the world for
preachers, missionaries and work
ers. More than 600 Nebraska min
isters were in attendance when the
conference was called to order. The
announcement was made .that all
the speakers of the interchurch
world movement team which will
address the conference have arrived
and there will be no further delays
in the program.
Dr. Hiller's time was cut short
and he was unable to give in detail
the story which he had prepared of
a typical Nebraska county, but he
told the conference enough to whet
their appetites and open their eyes.
Three Pastors at Work.
"There are." he said, "720 square
miles in this county and enough
trade territory in adjoining coun
ties to make up a territory of 2,400
square ,miles. There are three vil
lages in this vast territory, their
population aggregating 700. The
total population of the territory is
1,350.
"There are just two Protestant
and one Roman Catholic pastors at
ivork in the county and two of these
also work in adjoining counties.
The total parish area is 440 square
miles and the total membership of
the churches in the area mentioned
is just 76. One of these pastors has
been in the work 45 years and an
other one for 35 years."
Others who addressed the eonfer
etics were Dr. Dolvi Harlam, secre
tary of the Baptist Home Mission
ary society; D. R. Malmquist of the
Interchurch World Movement liter
ature department.
Education Is Discussed.
The afternoon session of the con
ference was devoted to-the problem
of education. Dr. H. O. Pritchard
pf Indianapolis, presided and pre
sented the Interchurch Americanism
educational department program.
"In spite of a permanent invest
ment of $3,500,000,000 and an an
nual expenditure of $1,000,000,000,
thv. United States has not yet taken
her -work-tif education seriously,"
said Dr. Pritchard.
J. Kirkwood Craig, director of
surveys of special groups, pointed
out that there are in the state of
Nebraska 426,940 Protestant or nom
inally Protestant children and youth
who are not in any school for, re
ligious instruction. "If you were to
point to the weakest spot in the
Protestant church you would point
to the 27,000,000 children and youth
who are growing up jn spiritual il
literacy and to the 16,000,000 more
whose religious instruction is limited
to the bfief half-hour once a week
on Sundays. A church that cannot
save her own childhood can never
save the world."
Bishop Stuntz Talks.
Dr. Lyman P. Powell, ex-president
of Hobart college and associate
director of the speakers team, spoke
in behalf of the spiritual respurces
department , of the Interchurch
World1 Movement.
Dr. J. H. Potter, chief compiler of
the World Survey Statistical Mir
ror, who was to have spoken during
the afternoon, was taken ill and Dr.
George E. Farrar presented the mat
ter. Bishop Homer C. Stuntz of Oma
ha, although not on the prograln,
was invited to address the conference
on the needs of the far east for
missions and mission workers. His
address received the warmest wel
come accorded any of the speakers.
' Illustrated Lecture.
In the evening Dr. J. H. Potter
of Anderson, Ind., field representa
tive in the world-vide movement,
delivered an address on the "Statis
tical Mirror," using lantern sljdes
to illustrate the subject. He spoke
of the rise and fall in membership
in both churches and Sunday school,
as well as financial support, and
said if the membership of Protestant
churches were on a salary equiva
lent to that of an Alabama waitress,
which is about 57 cents a day, and
they would tithe that salary, the
complete budget vof the local church
and all the benevolent interests
would be paid in full and leave a
nice margin of more than $2,000,000
for extension work.

LAY PLANS FOR -
INTERNATIONAL
FARMERS'- MEET
Victor Murdock Speaks Before
National Board of Farm Or
ganizations in Capital.
Washington, Feb. 19. Back of
every basic commodity exist "move
ments which should give the country
gravest concern," Victor Murdock,
chairman of the Federal Trade Com
mission, told the annual conference
of the National Board of Farm Or
ganizations. Explaining to the delegates repre
senting more than 30 agricultural
bodies the work of the federal trade
commission, Mr. Murdock said it
was the "economic eye" of the gov
ernment to ascertain the 'facts re
garding these movements in order
that the public might be protected.
The work of the commission in the
past has been "almost elementary,"
said Mr. Murdock, adding that the
commission was about to embark on
the study of "other and graver prob
lems affecting the nation s business.
Further than that he did "not elabo
rate his statement, which aroused
keen interest among the delegates
in view of recent investigations into
meat packing, coal mining and other
primary industrifs. '
ReviyePlans for Congress.
Almost the first act of the confer
ence was to revive plans, for an in
ternational farmers' congress. A
committee was appointed with in
structions to communicate at the
earliest possible moment with simi
lar organizations in foreign coun
tries. Other committees were
chosen to report on the modus and
present status of the investigation
of the federal trade commission to
report on the outlook for importa
tion of foreign fertilizers and to ex
amine into the foreign exchange sit
uation as it affects American trade.
Charles S. Barrett, president of the
National Farmers union, who pre
sided as chairman of the conference,
said that while it would be very
pleasant to be able to say that "ail
is well with agriculture and that in
the farmers' mind there is no dis
content, nothing left to be desired,"
the facts were that "the farmer is
not content or satisfied."
Farmers to Pool Efforts. ,
Answers to the recent question
naire-sent out by the Postoffice de
partment, he said, came nearer to
revealing the truth about agricul
ture than anything that has received
equal publicity in the city press. .
ine larmers, at least the oreah-
ized farmers, from now on will pool
their efforts in exploring what in
the past has been forbidden ground,"
said Mr. Barrett. "They will em
ploy trained research workers to in
vestigate affairs affecting agricul
ture. W'ith trained research pub
licity and legal talent, farmers need
no longer be impotent in dealing
with the questions of marketing,
distribution and finance."
Practically the entire membershin
visited Secretary Meredith of the
Agriculture department, who has
asked the counsel and co-operation

Plan Reclamation of
West and South Land
Through Bond Issues
Washington, , Feb. 19. Reclama
tion of unused lands in the west and
south through bond issues, operating
similar to the federal farm loan sys
tem, would be authorized by a bill
introduced by Senator Fletcher,
democrat, Florida. A similar meas
ure will be offered in the house Fri
day by Representative Smith, repub
lican, Idaho.
Under the plan $20,000,000 worth
of bonds would be sold the, first
year, $30,000,000 the second, $40,000,
OOfr the third and $50,000,000 the
fourth, with a total not exceeding
$350,000,000.
The measurer represents the con
cert action of the south and the west
for a great national rather than a
sectional plan. The southern inter
ests, including the governors of
states and officials of the Southern
Commercial congress, met here last
month and evolved a bill which the
representatives of the west, under
tke chairmanship of Governor Davis
of Idaho, later approved. Former
Governor Spry of Utah has re
mained in Washington in charge of
the legislative program of the west.
The " Southern Commercial con
gress estimated that the program, if
adopted, would make feasible the re
clamation of 5,000,000 to 7,000,000
acres of land by the end of the tenth
year.

Omaha yesterday there is little pros
pect of charges i being pressed
against three beet sugar brokers of
the Omaha district, against whom
he heard evidence here two months
ago. ,
"Dealers testified 4hese three brok
ers completely controlled the beet
sugar supply in the OmaTia zone and
were supplying only favored custo
mers," Mr. Allen said. "A month
after the Omaha hearing was held ;
and before action on the cases had
been taken by Department of Jus- ,.
tice officials, congress passed the
McNary bill abolishing the sugar
zoning system. Dealers in this ter-
ritory may now buy sugar anywhere .
and the alleged restrictive combina
tion of sugar brokers loses much of .
its power." r,
Mr. Allen said federal agents were
still collecting evidence of alleged
profiteering by Nebraska coal anei
clothing dealers and that a large
amount of .evidence war ready for
presentation to the next federal
grand jury. No Omaha firms are
involved, he said. 1

America's World Trade Is
Endangered, Alexander Says
. Washington, Feb. 19. American
trade with the world is endangered ,
by the action of the appropriations
committee in cutting the foreign 1
trade estimates in the Department
of Commerce from $1,565,000 to
$494,000, Secretary Alexander de
clared in a formal statement.
"This is the' most serious blow
ever aimed from within at our-foreign
trade," the secretary, said.
"The sum allowed is only one-half
of the appropriation now used. At
the very time when European and
Japanese governments are striving
strenuously to perfect their trade
promoting machinery through, enor-.
mously increased appropriations,
this bill proposes to scrap the
American machine, the most .effec
tive and smoothest-running that any
government has ever been able to
assemble."
