When these topics are not occu pying the time of legislators theydo some legislating for the people. County Option In Peril. Unless the signs change soon, coun ty option will be defeated In the sen ate. 8. F. 118. by Ollis of Valley, the only county option bill before the sen ate, was rushed onward without dis cussion and is now ready to be placed upon Its passage. It would have been put to a vote last Friday but for the absence of several senators who pre ferred to visit the state fisheries at r-ith Bend. The committee con- 1 1 d two friends of the bill and If w. - meless to try to pass the bill with the 'sent. Bai "tj of Otoe, the one senator who has been so quiet that both sides were at a loss to know how he would vote on county option and whose vote Is necessary to pass the measure, was Interviewed by the county option side, and after the conference was over the drys practically gave up getting Bart ling to vote for county option. The friends of the bill have several strings that mav be pulled with some effect before a vote Is taken Tanner of Douglas, who has been strongly op posed to COnnlV option, Is considered open to reason, and the drys mxv show him hnw he could suppress all ami stock yards legislation by changing over to the county option side, even though he might be scslped by Omaha people when he returned home. Mr Tanner Is a resident of South Omaha and the stork yards are dearer to him than ativ other interest. Smiles Against County Option. Trading or offering to trade for votes for the county option bill has been hinted at for some time In re gard to the report that Skiles of Hut ler might come over to the countv op tlon side for far his Initiative nd referendum hill would be defeated, the senator himself denied that there was anv truth In the rumor. "I do not know how It started." he S!ld "Tlure Is no foundation for It You may sav for me that I have enough votes to pass the initiative and referendum 1)111 and 1 do not fear Hs fate in the senate " If Battling votes against county op tlon and the friends of the hill are tin able te draw over some other s.-natoi to their aid. the hill will be killed in the senate. It is ready to he put to a Vote, but the vote mu he delayed till the middle of the week. If member re absent on account of Illness 01 other reasons its friends will Insist on postponing th vote till all Its friends are present A call of the house of long duration mav he necessary tc bring In absentees, hut no Intentional delay Is looked for Burly In the ses sion both factions agreed not to place obstacles In the way of a speedy de termination of a question that was ac Important Issue In the last campaign Capital Removal Favored. A committee of the house Is ready to report favorably on a bill to sub niit to the people a proposition to re move the capital from Lincoln It It predicted thst the bill will pass bots hoiis- I but no f.t vote has her" taken m the question and Its fate li ' nnknown. The proposition as It Is u M submitted by the ttltl Is unfavorably to Llticidtt In thai the question to 1 voted upon Is shall the capital be re tinned irom Lincoln If none of th many candidates for the licet get a majority of all the votes, the twe towns receiving the highest vote ar to have thetf names placed on a ballol St a second election and the one that obtains the highest vote Is to lie th new capital Opponents of the blh contend that It Is Illegal in form and thai it cannot pass Escheats and Cheats. State Ijind Commissioner E. B Cowles Is firmly convinced thai th state of Nebraska Is losing money try Ing to prevent aliens from acquiring title to lands in this state. The pres ent law will be changed If hills now pending are passed. The law wat passed more than twenty-five yeari ago. when It was feared English lordt would gobble up most of the land In the state and establish landlordism Discussing the present law, Commls sloner Cowles said: "Under act of the legislature or 1899. section 71. chapter 77, the atate ae cured 640 acres of land In sections 24 and 25, 30-52, Morrill county, known as the Fawcua land. This land was appraised by order of the court In ac cordance with this act. The apprais ers fixed the value at $6,6S0 and this amount was paid by the atate to the alien heirs and the land became a part of our public school lands. It was appraised by the county commis sioners of Cheyenne county at $1,650 for rental purposes and the rent which the state receives at 6 per cent is $:i! If the amount wllch the state paid for the land to prevent aliens from hold lng It had been Invested In bonds bear lng 41-.. per cent Interest It would bring Into the school funds a yearly Income of $298 3.Y Therefore, under the law of escheats, ns applied to this partlc ular section of land, the state cheats Itself out of $200 a year Doe It pay to prevent aliens from falling hHr to lands in Nebraska?" In the house oneof the hottest con tests of the session resulted In the Indefinite postponement of Eastman's bill to appropriate $100,000 for an ag ricultural school In the southwest part of the state The finance commltte reported adversely on the bill and the report was adopted by a vote of 48 to 43. The author of the bill voted with the majority In the affirmative so that he may move tf) reconsider the action of the house. Plenty of Cork Screws. There has been no official Investiga tion of the report that every member of the legislature carries a cork screw on his keyring. The report does In justice to the members. Of the 133 members It Is known that a few have no use for a cork screw. Being resi dents temporarily In a dry town, they are tempted on every hand to use a cork screw, but some refrain.
