Edison Studio and the Birth of Moving Pictures
The article recalls Edisons Black Maria moving picture studio built on a pivot to follow sunlight, its modest cost of 637.67, and early experiments featuring James J. Corbett. It notes Edison later established a larger New York studio near Brown Park and frames his perseverance as enabling the modern film industry, with the Edison Foundation funding 100 Edison Scholars yearly.

Gas Tax Drive Fails to Gain Signatures in Nebraska
Leaders said a move to place a constitutional amendment on the November ballot to bar gas tax use from funding anything but highways failed for lack of petitions. Only about 40,000 signatures were collected, 20,000 short of the 60,000 needed. The effort came after a social security program funded by a gas tax. Two other November amendments include repealing bank stockholder double liability and abolishing the land commissioner office.
