To use round figures, receipts for
the year just ended were approx

In spite of increased taxes and

deficit for the next IL months is to
be greater than that for the present

them on common ground and who
is able to dramatize the clamoring
of the middle classes and workers
generally for economic security.
SO frequently have we heard the
expression that miracles do happen
that the nomination of Willkie is
one of them. In the cloak rooms
and in the corridors you find prac-
tically unanimous feeling that here
is man admired and respected. A
man who can hit hard but who
neither loses his temper nor stoops
to personalities.
He is said by those who know him
well to be liberal who will make
his position clear and who will in
terpret the Republican platform
clearly in the course of his CAM
paign.
Mr.. Wilkes choice of Senator
McNary as running mate is ac-
cepted on every hand as a master
stroke. The turnover in the Senate
cannot dislodge the Democratic ma
Jority from control for another two
years.
Aside from his appeal to the west
ern states and the Pacific Coast.
Senator McNary is a recognized
parliamentary authority and has the
respect of the Senators of both
parties. No one is as we'll fitted to
preside over the next Senate.

be followed by large outlays for

The House action refusing to ap-
propriate one million dollars for re-
viving the South American rubber
industry experiment was predicated
on information that by improved
methods synthetic rubber can be
produced at prices approximating
the cost of the natural product.

ers who was born in Star City, Mo
was found guilty of first degree
murder by the jury on October Is,
OF Wallace Richie, former cheu-
ffeur of Mr.. Fred Hovey, King of
Ak Sar Ben. Rogers attorney
John Baldwin put up an excellent
plea for Rogers. He tried to con-
vince the jurors TO give Rogers
life in the pe~nitentiary, but his
plea was in vain according to the
decision of the jurors.
Rogers admitted the killing CT
Richie when he took the stand.
He admitted the same thing that
he said when he gave his statement
to the police dept.
After twelve witnesses gave
their statements and left the stand
Rogers was put on the stand by
his attorney and he gave the same
statement hat he previously had
gave the arresting officers. He
didn't deny one thing that he had
told the officers after they arrest
ed him.
Rogers was very cool and calm
all during the trial with no emot-
ional display at all.
The prosecuting attorney, Mr.,
Teauser put up a very stiff plea
to the jury demanding the death
p nalty followed by the brilliant
County Attorney Mr.. English in
his closing argument.
The defendant John Rogers sale
that he called Richie from the
drug store at oath and Lake about
8:15 p. m. on August 18th to take
him to South Omaha but instead OF
