CHICAGO GRAINS

CHICAGO. Oct. 80. (UP)-wheat
prices had an easier tone today in
trading unmarked by definite spec
ulative operations. Selling orders
were scattered but buying power
was not sufficient to do more than
restrict tosses to fractions.
AT the close wheat was down q
to y, December $1.13M, corn was
off Y to up VI, December 93T, and
oats were down ls to u, December
40% cents.
Trends in foreign markets again
supplied the only incentives to local
traders. Wheat opened lower in re-
sponse to heavy tone in Liverpool
but rallied later along with the
British market. .t
Belief that rains reported in Ar
gentina yesterday were delaying
harvesting of the new crop had a
bullish effect both here and abroad.
The Liverpool market also felt the
effect of a report that Italy was in
the market for more Argentine
wheat. rs
Corn held TO narrow range
around previous closing levels
Trade was largely between local
concerns.

Watch Nebraska
CNew York World-Telegram)

(NeW York WOrld-Telegram)
 Nebraska this year elected the first one-house State Legislature ever to be chosen in the United States And for the next few years students of gov ernment will watch Nebraska with keen interest 10 learn whether this institutional reform ends the old pulley hauling abuses of the twohouse Legislature
 Nebraskas new system fathered by Senator George w Norris the great modernzer of government who sponsored the 'lame-duck' amendment to the Federal Constitution, the IVA and the law taking away from federal judges the power to issue anti labor injunctons.
 The theory upon which this reform put for ward is the same that which has prompted most cities to do away with two-room city councils and lodge all responsibility in body. The theory is that single lawmaking body will be more responsive to public opinion and more responsible in it's actions since it will be unable to pass the buck
 Certain it is that the two-house Legislature which exists in the foryseven other States and is going out Nebraska lends itself to buck passing and to mani puation by lobbyists expert in the business of creat ing parliamentary logjams which prevent the legs- lators from voting important measures affecting the public interest.
 No business corporation would ever think of hay ing two boards of directors which must agree the placing of every comma and semi-colon in the con- cern's business papers Yet that is exactly the pro- cedure under which the business of State governments is conducted Whenever any legislation fails to through both houses with exact wording it goes to conference composed of representatives of the two bodies And behind the closed doors of the conference room it is all too easy to emasculate the measure write it into something entirely different from the original slip in a joker that will make it uncorstitu- tional or bury it in a pgeonhoe.
 In Nebraska's one-house Legislature these dodges and tricks will not be possible But other evils just as serious may spring up. It will be interesting ex- pertinent.

thoroughly discredited That straw vote as near as one can come to 100 per cent wrong The editors with red faces admit it.
 We hold no particular brief for the Digest or its poll but we can't where it treads on the toes of Senatorial dignity or in any way bamboozed the voters Everybody knew it was straw vote. If the Digest wanted to run it and came out wrong that would appear to be it's hard luck. There were count less rumors about the poll of which proved to be anything than rumor
 Senatorial investigations far-reaching They are powerful weapons and such should be tempered with restraint Directing the potent forces of the United States into investigation of the discreded Digest poll is too much like shooting rabbits with cannon. The Senate has great many things more important to do than rubbing it in after the election is. over.

THERE HAS TO BE A GOAT"

It would appear that all is not well within what remains of the potent Republican party. Ma tona Chairman John Hamilton who managed the recent campaign threatens resignation unless he gets vote of confidence Apparently, the Chairman doesn't consider the sixteen million votes given Governor Landon vote of confidence What he is worried about is the national committee In defeat the boys that paid the bill, going to have to pay it if the party survives figure John didn't give them their moneys worth with Candidate Landon.
 Hamilton seems to be in much the position Of the football coach who didn't win pennant and the alumni starts bowling. The coach becomes the "goat' Politics is like football When there is no winner there has to be goat Somebody had to take the boot for losing There is just hint that Chairman Hamilton is scheduled for that role as the Republicans rise out of the debris of the Roose welt avalanche and start looking beyond Maine and Vermont

GOOD OMEN FOR BUSINESS

One of the best indications of continuing pros porous conditions in this country is the better feeling existing between business and the Roosevelt admin istraton Much of the so-called big business bucked the Presidents reelection with all it's strength It poured money into his opponents campaign with both hands which its privilege to do But since the election there has been attitude of for getting the political differences.
 The President started it with his mild message for cooperation in getting unemployed back on private payros and urging response from busi- and industry. There is strong indication that cooperation is forthcoming. Even the notoriousy reactionary United States Chamber of Commerce indicates that it might put its shoulder to the wheel The following excerpts from a business story in the New York Times shows the trend:
 The year-end flow of extra dividend pay
 ments wage increases and bonuses continues.
 Increased extra or special dividends totaling
 between $60000000 and $80000000
 The cotton textile industry, employing
 434000 workers, raised wages approximately
 10 percent in many mills in New England and
 the South
 General Foods Corporation announced
 bonus of two weeks salary for all employees.
 The Coca Cola Company announced
 months extra pay for employees.
 Several railroads and utilities voted in
 creased distributions to stockholders.
 As Byron Price said in his political dispatch the other day, the President is planning castgation of the so-called economic royalists' who opposed him. Rather he is tempering every word and action with strong appeal for industrial peace and con- tinued prosperity in the nation The attitude of both sides is a good for the nation It reveals that politics going to be forgotten while settle down to a few years of united effort and assured progress.

Benefic aspects rule today, ac- cording to astrology. The Christ mas spirit will be abroad early this season erasing many bitter memor- ies, the seers announce.
 Men and women who hold im- portant positions are well directed, and subject to progressive influ- ences which should make for per sonal popularity fst
 Neptune is in place which is believed to clear the mental vision and to encourage clear judgment concerning public affairs. Americans of all political beliefs will presently unite against a common enemy.
 Under this direction of the. stars purveyors of beverages will profit, it is forecast, but liquor dealers may expect strong opposition to continuance of present methods of distribution.
 London astrologers who have read the horoscope of Anthony Eden, British Foreign Secretary, see dan ger of war in 1887 for his coun- try September may be a precar- ious month.
 The same. seers foretell for the King of Belgium possibility of a second marriage difficulties which may focus next summer or earlier.
 American girls may rejoice over the prognostication that their beau- ty is to become a lasting world le- gend not less glorious than that attained by Grecian women.
 Education comes. under direc- tion of the stars which gives great promise for university students of both sexes. Girls are to achieve distinction in science this year.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of chang es that demand quick decisions. They should avoid all disputes and should not swerve from business royalties.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be of scientific and yet imaginative nature. Subjects of this sign usually succeed, although they may not be ambitious.

There's More to Recovery
Cincinnati Enquirer)


 According to careful studies made in all countries by the International Labor Office the United States harder hit by the depression than any other country save Austria, and possibly Poland This goes long way to explain why our recovery has not ap- peared satisfactory that of other countries We have much more ground to retrace.
 The Geneva organization reveals that total salaries and wages in the United States droppcd from an index of 100 in 1929 to 60 in 1892 and 57 1883 In 1884 the index to 65 and then in 1885 to TO- but it remained below that of other countries excepting Austria. Considering real wages-that is taking count of the decline of living costs-the drop from 1929 to 1883 was from 100 to 75 which compares favorably with other countries.
 These figures suggest what the United States has been up against. Because of it's extraordinary sources most of it's people remained better off than the bulk of people in other countries. But the rea- tive decline of earned incomes exceeded that abroad.
 If 1886 figures were available the story might be quite different for recovery has been spectacular in recent months But the true picture of deflation as it affected wages and salaries should help Americans to understand why it has taken years and will take years to bring about the full measure of cry that everyone expected and still anticipates
