The Alliance Herald serves as the official newspaper for Alliance City and Box Butte County. Published by The Burr Printing Company with George L Burr as president and Edwin M Burr as vice president.
Box Butte county readers note Governor McKelvie faces opposition as he calls a special session. Democrats hope the move yields votes while critics question benefits and fear continued divisions. Legislature trims some appropriations and probes State Engineer Johnson with mixed results.
Nebraska potash plant investors hoped a high tariff on German potash would revive the industry. Congress has never supported such protective measures, leaving the owners pessimistic about recovery.
A Nebraska style editorial outlines the Fordney tariff plan to shield a new western potash industry from import competition. It notes opposition from New England potato and tobacco growers and southern cotton interests who fear higher costs and limited western supply. The piece also surveys the American Legion Weekly on veteran compensation and social policy, contrasting wartime loss with peacetime economic inequality.
Ex servicemen, once out of work in Alliance and smaller towns, show improved morale as Republican leaders and President Harding back a soldier bonus. A House bill offers five plans including soil reclamation loans, home building funds, vocational education, a 20 year endowment paid insurance, or a cash bonus, with a popular proposal at one dollar per day served up to 500.
A Chicago man John R Thompegon proposes banning the manufacture and sale of revolvers and pistols, making possession a five year felony. He offers a prize for reasons to allow gunmaking, arguing concealed weapons fuel crime and urging individual and international disarmament despite enforcement and law limits.
Lincoln representative Epper son of Clay county champions a substitute for Governor McKelvie’s gasoline tax.
