mum beginning July !, 1921, were
Sll,537, ,59237, according TO the an

retary of finance.
The report shows that estimated

less emergencies arise, making great
er expenditures necessary during the

biennium.
Due to Code.
This is the first time in the history
of the state that expenditures OF the
first year OF a biennium were so ar.
ranged that surplus at the end OF
the benniun looked probable. 1t is
due state. officials say, TO inaugura-
ton OF the budget system OF govern
ment under the administrative code
which forced all expcnding agencies
to outline quarterly expenditures in
advance and empowered the govern
or to force these agencies to live
within their appropriations.
The Bross report shows that $5,-
8,53l.4l of the total expenditures
are derived from cash funds raised
through licenses, fees, land rentals
and other sources independent OF
taxation. The cash fund represents
28 per cent of the total expenditures.
The remaining u per cent, of $S,-
2S9,060.96. was raised through taxa
ton.
This $3.50, ,060.o6 derived by tax
alton is divided by Bross under three
captions: operating expense, fixed
charges, public improvements. The
onerating expense took 90 per cent
OF the total; fixed charges, 3 per
cent and public improvements, 81
per cent.
Road Building Included.
Operating expense" entails sal
aries and current expenses of 81 di-
visions of government established at
the request OF the people. Public
includes new build
ings TO properly house unfortunates
and evil doers, and the completion OF
the 7-year program of road building
demanded under laws passed during
the Morehead administration, Fixed
charges" is expense outlined in
statutes over which the administra-
ton has no control.

Senate Passes
Administration
Tariff Measure
Final Vote on Bill 48 to Is
Action Edns Four Months
DeBate-Now Goes
to Conference.

Washington, Aug. lo.--(By A. P.)
The administration tariff bill. offi.
cially "the tariff act Of 1922" was
passed late today by the senate after
four months of debate. 1t now goes
to conference. The vote was 46
to rs.
Senator Borah of Idaho was the
only republican to vote against the
measure. Three democrats-Brous-
sard, Kcndrick and Ransdell--voted
for 1t.
Washington, Aug. lo-Although
it worked until close TO mid
night last night. the senate was
back on the job half an hour earlier
than usual today in order to clean
Tip amendments of individual sena-
tors. At the getaway last night it
was agreed that debate should be
limited to five minutes to each sena-
tor on each amendment and that the
administration features, including the
so-called flexible tariff provisions,
should first be considered.
Aside from these features, most Of
the highly controverted individual
amendments were disposed OF during
the more than II hours that the sem
ate laborcd yesterday. By substantial
maioritics, the 2.3 cents pound rate
on sugar and the 80 cents pound on
the clean content of raw wool were
approved. Both matters led to long
and sharp debates and senators visi-
bly, were firing before the end OF the
session.
Borah Attacks Bill.
Washington, Aug. l9,--Attacking
the provisions of the tariff bill pro-
posing broad authority for the presi-
dent to increase or decrease duties,
Senator Borah, republican, Idaho, de-
clared today in the senate that he
could not give his support to the
measure on the final vote unless these
provisions were eliminated. He said
he could not arrive at the conclusion
that they were constitutional.
Senator Jones, republican, Wash
ington, said his views on the tariff
were that the people OF the country
were getting more and more weary OF
the proposition of congress undertake
ing to fix tariff rates.
ut is impossible" he said, "ior
committee OF congress or congress to
aequaint itself with every business in
the country, and yet that is what il
would have TO do il it acts wisely in
fixing rates"
The presidential powers provisions
hual were reapproved, IS to 20,
after the section relating to coal tar,
dyes and synthetic chemicals and ex-
plosiyes had been SO amended that
any decrease ol rates decided upon
by the president would become oper-
alive within | 5 days after the issuing
OF a proclamation, instead OF 90 days,

Immense Reserve
Quiet Efforts Of Finance
Secretary Successful-Sum
10 Millions Over
Legal Demand.
csrrr.sht mfi

Lincoln. Aug lo.- Especially
Results Of quiet determined efforts
OF ]. i. Hart state secretary oil
trade and commerce. TO remedy an
admitted failure OF many bankers in
past years TO maintain legal reserve
requirements cropped ont in a state
meHt issued by Hart today compar-
ing the condition OF the 97l state
banks juno 30 1922, with conditions
March Is, 1922.
The Hart statement shows that
the actual reserve June 30, 1922, is
S5l ,70l, ,84588. This is an excess OF
Sl0,7O9,24 over the reserves re-
quired under the law. The reserve
demanded by law is Sj4992. 900.
Building OF the immense reserve
has required constant pressure from
the state banking department and as
a result Hart believes Nebraska
banks are ready to cope with cmer-
gencics fettcr at this time than at
any previous period in years. Much
credit is given by banking officials
for the splendid reserve showing to
the prompt appreciation OF mid
western conditions by the federal
government and its advance Of large
sums through the War Finance cor
poration to hard-pressed farmers.
In addition to the unprecedented
reserve. the Hart report points out
a $6,358,96222 increase in total re-
sources Of state banks in the three
month period. On March Is re-
sources reported by banks were
S282, l6l ,S0559, while June 80 the
total reached was 1888, 520,765.8l.
Cash OF the 577,97S depositors
June 80 was $5l70l, ,845SS, while
March q it was only $4S,343, sol. 81.
The cash increase is $3,358,2S4.5l
Another healthy growth is noted in
loans and discounts, which on June
80 was S20935l740lj, against
S20S, ,2S5.l5s.S5 on March %.

Justice for Workers
BY PAUL GREER.

Lincoln, Aug. io.-Clo. under the
dome OF the state capitol, on the
fourth floor OF that remarkable stfuc-
cure, is the department OF labor.
From its atiic.like windows the Wis
itor may peer down upon the founda-
ton OF the new capitol building that
is slowly rising ABOUT the walls Of the
old.
One likes 10 think that in that
splendid ediiiee this department will
have more convenient suite, oGe
more in keeping with the importanss
OF its task.
The secretary of labor, Frank A
Kennedy. concludes conference
with the employer OF a man Rno has
lost half his hand in an accident. Nit
Kennedy comes 10 meet you and eS-
plains that the workman is entitled
TO 81 500 under the compensation law.
for he will never be able to work we'll
again. The secretary never for an
instant loses his enthusiasm for his
work II IS clear that he puts his
whole heart into this job.
What will happen to this labor de-
partment il the code system under
which Il was established is done away
with? Immediately on hearing this
question his eyes blaze and MS griz-
zlcd hair seems to bristle.
Would Destroy Department.
"If the code is repealed" he as
serts. the labor department will be
destroyed. Neither the workmcn's
compensation act nor any other Ia
Dor law had any support until this
administration. Nebraska would SIM
ply go back 10 the old labor bureau
that originated in 1887 as a sop 10

The department Of labor Is one OF
the six cabinet divisions estdb-
lished under the civil administration
code which the democratic platform
promises to repeal. There are only
four persons on its payroll here in
the capitol. There are two more in
the bfanch office in the county court
house at Omaha. Originally il had
an appropriation Of $40,3s8 for this
lwo-year period; by thrift and good
the secretary saved 10
per cent on his estimated expendi-
lures, which enabled the special ses-
sion to reduce the appropriation to
S34, ,6SS.

In the three and one-half years
since the passage OF the code bill, |

Gals here assert.
Far from operating to the deiri-
ment Of the Russian people, this
course OF action, experts here be-
lleyc. is dictated BY stern necessity.
The misunderstanding on this sub
ioct arose, they point out from the
fact that the soviet delegates at The
Hague. either Intentionally or unin-
irniionally. gave the impression that
grain was TO be exported from Rus
sia this year because there was a
surplus above the needs OF the Rus
sian population.
Since IL was well known here that
no such surplus could possibly exist,
some Americans jumped TO the con-
clusion that Lenin and Trotsky in
tended TO disregard the needs OF the
peasant population and trust 10 the
charity Of the American relief ad-
mnistration and other organizations
10 bring the peasant population
through another winter OF starvation.
No Surplus Grain.
Inquiry developed that this as
sumption was entirely unwarranted,
officials here say. The truth OF the
matter is tina, no surplus OF grain
exists in Russia today nor will il
exist after the present harvest is
passed. In the southern part OF Rus
