WHAT OF THE SITUATION?
To the Tobacco Raisers of Vernon
County;


County:
Another year has rolled by. Some
of us have sold our 1918 crop of tobac-
co and some have not, and in many in
stances where tobacco is sold it is re-
fused by the buyers. Wonder when
we will get our eyes open? | think
the time is ripe for us to organize
and build our own warehouse. | don't
think it would be any trick to dispose
of 900 shares at 500 per share for
construction Of a warehouse second TO
none in Vernon county. Let's meet
and organize; divide the county by
school district. Get someone inter
ested in each district to spend few
days soliciting shares for monster
tobacco house, build conveniently TO
either of the railroads in Viroqua.
Who has grit enough to second my
motion and call a rousing meeting for
the near future, so we wont be caught
again next year. c. o. HELGES0N.

Resolution introduced Asking
Special Session at Close Of

Reported Out.

Lincoln, July 30.-Attempts of
certain democrats in the special ses-
sion to force the republicans to go
on record in the matter of investiga-
tion of the profiteering proposition
were met by the republicans of the
house in the same spirit in which
the resolution by Representative
Crosier of Polk county, democrat,
was offered.
Many republicans who really ia
vored action of some kind and
feared that voting down of the reso-
luton would put the special session
in bad, voted with the democrats,
but the resolution was defeated by a
close vote, there being but two ma
jority against the resolution.
The fact that the hackers OF, the
resolution made no attempt to bring
in other members who happened to
be on the outside to help carry their
point, gave evidence that they did
not want the resolution passed and
had it introduced in order to put the
republicans on record. After the
resolution had been defeated some
of the democratic members acknowl
edged that if the introducers were in
good faith and really wanted a reso-
luton of that kind to pass they
would have had it introduced by a
republican.
However, a resolution similar in

Republican Leader
Opposes Potash Bills
Licensing Feature

Washington, July 3O.-(Special
Telegram.)- the interest of get
ting some immediate relief for the
potash producers of Nebraska, the
house members from Nebraska had
a conference with Congressman
Moore of Pennsylvania and the
ranking republican member of the
ways and means committee,
Wednesday.
Mr.. Moore has decided objections
to the licensing feature that is being
urged by those interested in potash
legislation. He says it is unrepub-
lican and ought to be opposed by
every member of that party.
The Nebraska members retorted
by saying that they were republicans
and proctionists, but the situation
demanded that such relief be af-
forded if the industry in Nebraska
is to live.
The form of the bill was gone
over and the Nebraskans have hopes
that Mr.. Moore's opposition, if it
should persist, would be negative in
character.

resolution went over until Thurs
day under the rules. Its principal
object is asking the governor to
! call a special session of the legisla-
ture to convene mediately upon
the adjournment of the present ses-
sion.
Does Not Meet Approval
It is understood that this does not
meet the approval of most of the
members for the reason that there
is question as to the appropriation
which may be needed to cover the
expenses of investigation and prose-
cution. Some say that 100000
would be required to successfully
investigate and punish offenders,
there being so many of them, while
others think that amount would be
practically only drop in the
bucket" However, it is pretty GER
tain that some action will be taken
which will be satisfactory.
