An editorial argues nationalism, defined as exclusive love of one’s nation, alienates other nations and undermines unity. It warns centralized leadership and demagogues erode democracy, urging humanity as one family and unity in diversity to progress. It cites Stalin, Hitler, Mussolini as cautions and laments the era’s authoritarian appeal.
A Nebraska editorial outlines the heated Senate debate on adding one cent per gallon to gasoline and how the extra revenue should be divided between roads and social programs. It notes opposition from gas dealers and farmers, the political deadlock, and the inevitability that Nebraskans will pay due to new obligations and federal aid conditions.
The passage argues against surrender to poverty and degradation, urging eternal vigilance and faith in Democracy. It emphasizes full development of manhood and the material and moral prosperity of all people as the nation’s only hope. The tone mirrors a public exhortation about civic duty and social progress.
In Washington the relief line is dire with funds too small for any employable person and the 3 000 destitute families. A radio program offers two unemployed men a moment to tell their story while Congress debates how to fund jobs at living wages. The piece condemns inaction and links unemployment to democracy and the Supreme Court debate.
In a dated reflection, Everson and farm groups rally against a rubber stamp Congress and Roosevelt era policies, noting 1932 hardships, AAA constitutional reversal, and later easing. The column lampoons fame's transient nature with Alexander, Boone, Babe Ruth, and Buffalo Bill, while poking at politics, Prohibition eras, and cultural shifts.
North Platte city officials including Mayor Temple and others appealed to the supreme court Wednesday after Judge Tebell found the last legislature's act authorizing voting of viaduct bonds unconstitutional. Property owners contended the project was a local improvement and damages should be paid from funds assessed against the property.
Judge Tewell voids SF 7 as amended by SF 14 for amending without full repeal, ruling the law creates a local improvement funded by a general property tax. It enjoins the general tax levy while bonds of $82,906 were issued, sold, and most of the funds spent except $10,069 on the viaduct project.
Union Pacific officials deny a Western Nebraska rumor that the railroad would extend the Kearney to Stapleton line through Arthur and McPherson counties to Osakosh on the North Platte-Scotts Bluff line. They say surveys show no new corridor is planned and tracks would be moved if flood risk from the Keystone Dam inundates the North Platte valley.
