ers, Clerks and Supervisors was taken
up with discussion of proposed legis-
lation which would benefit county
roads throughout the state. Resolu-

legislation as would amend the pres

ton and Drainage and county COM
missioners authority to lay out and
supcrintend the construction and
maintenance of an intcrcounty road
system.
A system OF county highways to be
constructed and maintained by the
county board, a fund for which would
be authorized by semi-annual cleo
ton, was favored

tanning of county poor farms and the
real estate assessment
In reference to the latter subject,
President Kennedy in his closing talk

problem facing the people of Ne
braska today was that of taxation and
it was the duty of the county COM
missioners through their organization
to keep in close touch with this prob
lem that they might be able to handle
it as it should be handled and to the
best satisfaction of the taxpayers. He
urged them to keep up their interest
in the conventions.

trip through the different enterprises
in town, including the Newberry hard
ware establishment, the largest in the

LANGHORST GETS
NOTHING FOR TOLL
Democratic State Chairman
About to Suffer for His
Dry Proclvities.
GOES TO SEE GOVERNOR

(From a staff Correspondent
Lincoln, Dec. l3.-(Special.) 1.-The
sting of ingratitudc which has at
times been in evidence after political
campaigns, appears to have struck the
democratic party and worst OF all il
has come just when everybody should
be happy with Christmas cheer.
Chairman Louie Langhorst has
been stung, according TO his friends,
who are saying things about Gov
ernor-elect Neville.
When il was known that Clarence
E. Hartman would not be candidate
for reappointment as food commits
sioner, all eyes were turned in the di-
rcction of Chairman Langhorst Of the
democratic state committee. But
now all is changed Mr.. Langhorst
visited the state house today and was
closeted with Governor Morehead for
more than an hour. Neither one
would admit that the visit had any
thing to do with the appointment of
food commissioner. After Mr. Lang
horst had left the state house he was
approached on the matter of the ap-
pointment, but said there was nothing
to say at this time.
Still for Prohibition.
81 will still be found fighting in the
trenches" said the chairman, land for
the enactment of legislative law
which will make Nebraska strictly
prohibition"
This has led some to believe there is
a difference of opinion between the
new governor and the democratic
chairman over carrying Of the pro-
hibition amendment.
Mr.. Langhorst was very emphatic
in saying:
81 have nothing to say now, but l
will have a little later on, but l am
still for the prohibition amendment"
1t was pretty we'll known at the
time of the selection of Mr.. Langhorst
as chairman of the state committee
that it was done to appease the
Bryan element in the democratic
party and TO give a prohibition hue
to the democratic state committee, al
though the real leaders of the party
were strongly against the dry prop
osition. Now there is no more use
for Mr.. Langhorst and he can go back
to his little store at Elmwood and sell
eggs, calico and New Orleans
molasses, while another who has been |
on the state pay roll for some time
steps into the latest job in the gift |
of the new governor.
1t is said that Otto Murschell of
Ord, who has been an inspector in the
Office of the state fire commissioner,
is to receiver the appointment
