Pension Plans Approval Near

Lineoln-Iowa and Nebraska ex-
pected the governments final ap-
prevail the first of the year of their
old age pension plans. Both state
programs come up for action by the
social security board following un-
official approval of board aides.
Nebraska also has a plan for blind
pensions and care for dependent
children ON which the federal
agency is expected to pass at the
same time. That state estimated
more than $650,00O of. federal funds
would be required during the first
quarter of 1885 to match Nebras-
ka's expenditures on the three
phase program.
Federal funds to match old age
state pension grants are not yet
available, but congress is expected
to appropriate the money 500 after
converting. Meanwhile, states to be
eligible for federal grants must
obtain approval at least by Jan. /
Of their state plans.

Besides the well-woven yarn-dyed
costume velyets, interesting varia-
lions have been devised with mix
lures OF metal and c~ellophane
threads which answer the call for
glitter this season. Crinkled velvets
which look as II shirred are also
much in evidence. Then. too. deli
cately woven transparent velvets
hold their own. This type shlrs and
pleats beautifully.

IN VIEWING the current fashion
1 picture It appears as II velvet
Ia about to run away with the
mode" Not that velvet is news
to any of us, for women who keep
pace with fashion have become so
thoroughly and enthusiastically vel
vet-conscious by this time, they go
about town. they dine. they dance,
they even sleep In velvet.
However. comes some news that
is news. exciting news. news that
h JOY -radiating. It's crush.reslst-
ant velvet. with the emphasis on
crush-resistant. In the way Of good
news, what could be better7
Now. please do not jump at the
conclusion that the new crush-re-
sistant velvet Is absolutely non
crushable. No such claim is made
by members OF the Velvet Guild
who are sponsoring 1t, but they do
say that its resistance far exceeds
any endenvor In that direction up
to date. thus ~bespeaklng a greater,
more dependable serviceability for
this new type of velvet. Anyway
it's a comfortable thought to know
that there's velvet to be had that
is definitely more resistant TO crush
ing than any velvet heretofore
known.
Speaking OF the overwhelming
predominanee Of velvet In the pres
ent mode, some style leaders go so
far as to declare that this Is the
most important season from n
fashion angle that velvet has ever
known. From accessories of all
kinds through the entire gamut of
clothes goes velvet on the fall and
winter program.
For daytime wear the vogue for
velvet suits and coats fur-trlmmed
or otherwise, is established. For
afternoon, for formal and informal
evening wear there are luxurious,
beautiful novelties as well as superb
plain weaves In velvet. The heavy
classic Lyon velvet is an excellent
medium for gowns of pomp alse.

''The General Welfare"

Q OMEHOW that phrase must of neces-
, sity promote the general welfare of the
United States" which was used in the
majority opinion of the supreme court rul-
ing that the AAA is unconstitutional, pop
ped into our mind in reading Monday that
some 200 million dollars impounded during
the suit must go back to the professors.
Since the second decision was unani-
nous, undoubtedly the law is clear on the
point. The injustice of the decision is equal
ly clear. The professor simply collected the
taxes by adding them to the price charged
the consumer. To say now that the taxes
are illegal and that therefore the professor
is entitled to them is absurd beyond parallel.
Even those who found great comfort in
the scrapping of the first real attempt to
place the farmer on parity basis with pro-
tected industries cannot enthuse over this
situation Some way must be found, first
to collect money paid by the consumer in
support of the AAA and second: to fulfill
the contracts which farmers entered into
with the government in good faith.
Otherwise the decision only promotes
general welfare" of the professor.

A Real Bargain?

HXYIE HAVE cut our advertising al
w lowance and instead will give you
hundreds of dollars worth of
suality merchandise in the form of real bar
gains
This heading was used recently in a
grocer's advertisement in neighbor paper.
Rather humorous, isn't it, that the mer-
dhant cut his advertising in order to offer
bargains and then had to buy an advertise
ment to tell his customers about it.
People who read advertising and use it
as guide know how silly this heading is. In
the first place, advertising is only one or two
per cent of the cost of the average merchan-
disc you buy. To eliminate this expense on
the face of things would mean SO cents or
80 cents would be the cost of the article you
now pay 81 for. Hardly startling bargain.
But it goes farther than this The
smart advertiser knows how much more of
certain goods he can sell in a given period
by advertising. He therefore purchases a
larger quantity, getting quantity discount
price and through his advertising, passes
the saving on to his customer. The custom
er profits and the merchant still gets his
margin.
Through advertising the wise buyer
knows today what the correct price is for a
pound or dozen or yard of the things
she needs. She appreciates that stores
which advertise their merchandise have rea-
son to be proud of their quality and price.

The Advance-Press had predicted that
the law would be upheld. We felt sure chat
there were at least five men on the supreme
bench who were broadminded enough to re-
cognize that a law designed to give one
third of Americas population parity with
the other two thirds must of necessity
promote the general welfare Of the Unite
States.
1t must be remembered, however, that
the U. S. supreme court is no part of the
present administration. 1t is composed of
men whose political philosophy dates back
20, 80 and even 40 years. There are three
liberals among them and they joined in a
vigorous dissent, but the majority are
stepped in tradition. Living in a changing
world, they remain unchanged.
We should know whether such an i'm
portant and far reaching act as the AAA is
constitutional before putting it into effect,
not two and half years after it has been
operative. An opportunity should be given
to certify such cases to the supreme court
Immediately after their passage, or even be-
fore passage if congress so desired. Perhaps
that is too sensible and perhaps it would de-
prive high priced lawyers Of fat fees, but to
the man on the street it looks like the only
thing to do. Let's correct this defect.
