Buying Power Increased.
Charles Itrittan, vice president
First State bank: "There are sev
eral thing which, in my opinion,
point to better times ahead, among
which is that the buying power of the
producer is beiiiK strengthened by
the ri-e in the price of his product,
and this in r'i will Rive employ
ment to the labor which buys ins
product. This, with Bralul liquida
tion tot indebtedness which has been

tions on a solid foundation and one
on which all should prosper."

better prices for their products, sal

Power Firm Cuts Rates
a$ Muny Plant Planned
Futterton, Neb.. March 5. (bpe
cial.) An agreement on electric
light and power rates has been reach
ed between this- city and the Ne
braska Gas and Electric company of
Omaha, which will settle a contro
versy in progress since early in Jan
uary. Failing to get the company to re
duce its rates, the city council, on
January 18, passed an ordinance call
ing for lower rates. The company
then obtained an injunction in federal
court preventing the city council
from putting the ordinance into ef
fect and allowing it to increase the
existing rates. .
Petitions were circulated asking
the city council to call an election to
vote bonds for construction of a
munv light and power plant. This
ordinance would have been publish
ed last week and the election held
April 4.
Just before local newspapers came
out, officials of the power company
- greed to put into enect lmincuKuc
ly the rates as fixed by the council
and to dismiss the suit in federal
court.

llae Voted Almost Unaii-

By ARTHUR SEARS HENNING.
Omah k He I.faswl Wire.
Washington, March 5. With op
position in most quarters largely dis
sipated by the new soldier bonus
plan, the' legislation to adjust the
compensation of the men who foupht
for the United States in the great
war is scheduled to reach the calen
dar of the house of representatives
this week.
Pnrmal art inn ml the bill framed
I by republican members of the bouse
ways ami means commmcc win ne
taken bv the full comittee, with the
democrats participating for the first
time, on Tuesday. 1 he intention is
to report the bill to the house at
once, but to delay pressing it for
passage probably for another week.
Comparatively little criticism has
developed to the new adjusted ser
vice certificate plan among members
of congress who are favorable to
bonus legislation. Such attacks as
have thus far been launched against
the new plan are from those who
are opposed to- any bonus legislation
whatever.
Sales Tax Dropped.
The-opposition to a sales tax
emanated -chiefly from members ot
congress, favorable to bonus legisla
tion! This opposition was sufficient
to cause the ways and means com
mittee to abandon all attempts to re
port a bill imposing new taxes. The
republicans favorable to some kind
of bonus legislation who fought the
proposed, tax are inclined to the be
lief that the present scheme offers
the most feasible solution of the trou
blesome problem.
AitaoLc vL-liirti will be made on tne
bill will be based chiefly on the fact
tin. ultimate financial burden to
the government has been increased
by possibly as mucn as one imuuu
dollars under the modified scheme.
Members of congress will be accused
of shifting the burden to a future
generation while gaining credit from
their constituents for a soldiers'
bonus which does not levy any ad
ditional taxes on the public.
In replv to this criticism members
of the ways and means committee
declare that congress owes an obli
gation to the ex-service men which
must be discharged at once and the
treasury will be much better able to
bear the financial burden at ajuture
date than at present. While admit
ting that present plan may mean an
ultimate increase in the cost to the
government, they point out that this
is not a certainty and that recent
expressions of opinion by officials of
the American Legion have indicated
that an overwhelming majority 01
the ex-service men would have
elected to take the certificate form
of compensation in preference to a
cash bonus under any circumstances,
r.aoti Available.
Under the bill as approved unani
mously- by republican members ot
,r, .'dv anH means committee, a
veteran who is entitled to receive
less than $50 in adjusted service may
receive cash. Veterans in this class
include those of the rank of captain
and lower vrrades. wlio served in me
marine rnrns more
arniv, uavj v.. ........... r
than 60 days and not more than.UU
days The basic adjusted service
pav is ?1 per day of home service
and 1.25 per day of overseas service
in excess ot W days.
Veterans entitled to more than 5o0
mav choose between four forms of
compensation as follows:
1. An adjusted service certificate
....:-u - in n t 5ft nrr cent
of the face vatue may be obtained
from a national or state Dans imme
diately. 2. Vocational training act.
x Farm or home aid.
4. Land settlement aid.
The ultimate value oMhe adjusted
tfrvire certificate is 23 per cent
greater than the amount of the ad

G. A. R. Encampment.
The annual encampment of the
Grand Army of the Republic will be
held in Des Moines during the week
of September 24. This announce
ment was made here by L. S.rM
ehcr. national commander of the G.
A. R., after conferences held with of
ficials of the four supplementary or
ganizations. Approximately 125,000
will be in attendance at the encamp
ment, it is stated.
. Vote for Strike.
Iowa coal miners are voting nearly
to a man for a walkout which will
close all soft coal mines in the state.
Miners declared that this will com
pletely shut down the soft coal out
put along in the fall or early winter
of 1922. before an agreement coiild be
reached. Local union No. 1.047 vot
ed on the strike Friday night at the
Labor Temple headquarters at Des
Moines. Early Saturday, with nearly
all the votes counted, it stood 78 for
a walkout and 4 against. According
to Frank M. Smith, secretary, it ap
pears that the entire Iowa vote will
be overwhelmingly for the strike.

The center party would be pledged
tc conservative progress and would
j be opposed chiefly to the socialist
labor party, leaving two smaii groups
of free liberals and "die hard" tones
operating independently.
May Form New Party.
The formation of a new political
group was indicated this afternoon
by Winston Churchill in a speech at
Loughborough in which he said it
was certain that a political battle was
imminent in England in the near fu
tvrc and the question was. would it
be a soldiers battle or would it be
be fought by organized and com
bined armies?
Mr Llovd George has not yet re
ceived an " apology or submission
from Sir George Younger, the too
party manager; and Younger s future
a matter of interest. It hardly
seems likely that he will be able to
nf which Mr. Lloyd
I George is the leader and it is sug-
cia.is that he may be "kicked up
.stairs" into the house of lords.
Younger might not like this, for he
is a keen politician and as a peer
would be out of the political game,
but it seems the, only way of letting
him down easily.
It was announced this morning
that Mr. Lloyd George was holding
a conference with Austen Chamber
lain. Arthur Balfour, Sir Robert
1-Iorne and Lord Birkenhead at
Chequers, but this was officially
denied later today. All the minis
ters mentioned arc said to be leav
ing for week-end private visits, but
it would not be surprising if they
fcund time to motor to Chequers for
a conference.

in matters relating to the treaties,
claims against enemy governments

here by Judge Hugh Means,
The ruling had been laid down by the
school board of the Vinland rural
high school in this county.
Because, according to the school
board, their skirts did not extend
far enough. Alice Hansen and
Maude Buchana were suspend
ed from school last Tuesday.
J. IL Llanscn, Alice's father, appear
ed in court seeking redress. He
told the judge both girls were mod

their mothers. Judge Means order

Judge Snyder contended that there
were no good reasons for the es
tablishment of the court and nianv
against. The statute under wlitcii
the court must le organizea pro
vides for two judges in cities of more
than oO.OtIO and less- than 50.000
whose salaries shall be $3,400 a
vear. each; a clerk whose pay will be
$2,200, and two bailiffs, whose
salary is fixed at $1,750 each. This
makes a pay roll of $12,500 a year.

a probable expense of $4,000 a year
more, making a total of $18,500 a
year.
Additional Expense.
Each judge must be furnished
with a courtroom and chambers,
which will cost an additional large
sum, making a total of more than
$20,000 annually. Superior and
police courts and justices of the
peace now cost $7,400 a year, and
the two justice courts, costing $5,400
a vear. are practically self-sustain
ing. !
Judge Snyder pointed out another j
objection. Abolishment of the jus- j
tice robs the poor man of the only
court be can get into without em
ploying a lawyer. In a municipal j
court, lawyer's fees would be more j
than the amount involved in a ma"- j
icrity of the cases. i
Limited Jurisdiction,
The municipal court will have
jurisdiction in cases only up to
$1,000. The present superior court
has unlimited jurisdiction.
All of the juvenile court work is
now done in the superior court.
None ot it could be done in the muni
cipal court, thus adding to the pres
ent congestion of the district court,
according to Judge Snyder.
If the law is approved at flic polls,
the governor will appoint the judges
and all other officers except depu
ties for the next two years, when
their successors will be elected at the
1924 city election.
