SIFTING COMMITTEE
NOW ON THE JOB
(Continued fr page 1)
Flannburg for NUMI) the Utter
having been r menibrr of the Repub
llcan DOOUnlttM on committees.
On Friday morning Chairman Tay
lor called R meeting of the commit
tee on committees which ratified the
action of the Democratic caucus and
approved the ni republican mem-1
berH. Chairman Taylor nan gom-n
warm under the collar, being known
as a "fighter" by the House. When
he arose to make the committee re
port he delivered a flftorn-minute
epeech In which ho denounced In
Strong terms the "Insurgents" who
had refused to be led by him, who
had Insisted that the members of the
House should hare a voir In the
naming and selection of the sifting
committee and who had been sus
tained In their contentions In the
Democratic caucus by an almost un
animous vote.
The Lincoln Dally Star, one of the
leading Democratic organs of the
state, had the following to aay In its
Friday afternoon edition regarding
Taylor's speech:
"Contemptible treachery" and
"base deception" were phrases used
npon the floor of the Nebraska house
Friday morning by Chairman Taylor
of the democratic committee on com
mittees, In telling what ho thought
of the methods employed by Insurg
ent members of his party, who forced
the majority leaders of the house to
accept their plan for naming of a
sifting committee.
The gentleman from Custer deliv
ered a lengthy statement in regard
to the matter, which was taken down
in shorthand at his request to be in
corporated In the houso journal. It
was full of vitriolic language and as
Taylor progressed he became more
emphatic, until finally his vocabulary
rau out and he had to sit down.
None of the insurgents replied to
him. Thomas, one of the two lead
ers of that element whom Taylor re
ferred to, but did not name, second
ed Taylor's motion to confirm the
appointment of a sifting committee
of fifteen members and to have it
take charge of the general file next
Monday morning.
Minority Leader Peterson, howev
er, made a few remarkB after Taylor
got through. He expro83ed confi
dence in the sifting committee select
ed and Baid he didn't believe it
would show any favors, "not even to
the gentleman from Custer." He
admitted that the minority, as churg
ed by Taylor, had some part in the
makeup of the committee, and con
cluded by inviting the democrats to
"go to It" If they thought they had
to fight among themselves over its
composition.
"Nobody will claim that the com
mlttee on committees had a thing to
do with the selection of this sifting
committee, said Taylor. It is large
ly the work of two insurgent demo
crats and the would-be leader of the
minority. Our committee hus mere
ly carried out the instructions It re
ceived from the democrstlc and re
publican caucusos."
The two insurgents alluded to by
Taylor" sre Messrs. Osterman and
Thomas. The "would-be" minority
leader" Is Mr. Crontn While blam
ing these three for the situation
which deprived the committee on
committees of Its actual authority to
name the sifting committee, Taylor
Indirectly denied that they had put
through the most of 4 heir slate, as
has been published in some of the
newspapers.
"I want everybody to stay in his
seat until I get through." said the
Custer member at the start, "be
cause if anybody should Interrupt
me and go up in the air the house
will simply know that he has been
hit.
"The two members of the commit
tee on committees who instigated
and led the revolt, together with the
would-be leader of the minority, con
vened what they called an insurgent
caucus, after the committee on com
mittees had met ami decided upon a
sifting committee of eleven members.
One of these men is quoted in a dally
newspaper as saying that hiB crowd
insurged tn order to defeat a slate
that had been made up in advance.
"Now they are all bragging about
having put through their own slate.
The would-be minority leader says to
the democrats of this house: 'We
fixed up a slate for you fellows and
made you swallow It.'
"You members of the majority
have been made the goats for their
treachery and deception. I use those
words advisedly. There was no pur
pose in making a slate, so far as the
committee on committees was con-
itned. We had a plan In mind to
choose the members of the sifting
committee in such a way that there
could be no suspicion of Jobbery.
This was to let the different members
of the committee on committees nom
inate men from th"lr own congres
sional districts tor the sifting com
mittee sun then have the whole com
mittee vote by ballot on the nominations.
"Was any principle Involved In the
insurgent move? No, It was all for
the puipose of putting through tLeir
own slate, while claiming that they
were opposed to slates. Such con
temptible treachery, base deception
and duplicity warns us to be suspic
ious of these men. I am surprised
that this child, born of such mean
parentage-"
Here the house broke out into
laughter, Interrupting Taylor for a
moment or two. He kept right on
talking, but when ho was ablt to
maek himself heard again he re
marked that ho couldn't And words
to express himself. He finally con
cluded with a motion to adopt, not
the child of mean parentage but the
report Id regard to a sifting committee.
The Omaha Dally News, leading
Independent newspaper of the state,
had the following regarding the affair:
Lincoln, March 16. The house to
day named a sifting committee to
take charge of all bills on general
file not yet sent to third reading. The
committee, comprised of nine demo
crats and six republicans Is:
John H Kifenrath, Crofton, chair
man; L. O. Todd, Union; James H.
Craddock and John H. Hopkins, Om
aha: It. 0. KeKsn, Platte Center;
Nicholas Mysenburg, David City;
Ueorge Jackson, Nelson; Soren Fries,
Danneborg; John K Jacobson, Lex
ington, democrats, and Albert H.
Miller, Kennard; Leonard E. Flans
burg, Lincoln; J. A. Axtell, Fair
bury; W. L. Bates, Lodge Pole; L. B.
Stuhr. Orand Island, John F. Nesbit,
Tekamah, republicans.
The nine democrats were chosen
by their party caucus Tuesday night,
the "insurgents" controlling the
meeting.
Led by Lloyd C. Thomas. Alliance,
insurgents insisted on members from
each congressional district selecting
their own representatives on the
sifting committee and on giving the
republicans one sifter fro meach dls
trlci. They all got what they want
ed.
The overturning of the leaders and
success of the insurgency will not
cause any change in the actual floor
learership of the democrats, but has
removed the possibility of control of
the house by any small body of men.
Prominent democratic leaders
have assured Representatives Thorn
as and Osterman that they did not
blame them for "insurging" for
what they believed to be right, es
pecially in view of the fact that they
had been sustained in their conten
tions by so strong a mujority of their
own party, as shown by the almost
unanimous vote at the caucus. They
point out the fact that if the leaders
were allowed to have full sway at all
times there would be little hope for
those who differed with them, and
that even the lenders may at tiems
make mistakes.
But once again hus the dove of
peaceful harmony settled above the
east wing of the capltol and the
daily grind goes on within. At times
the members of the house pause and
wonder what will happen to the bills
which they have passed and turned
over to the tender mercies of the
senate. In the west wing. The sen
ate has yet to consider the most im
portant bill of the session the pro
hibition bill. Democratic leaders
are hoping that the Benate majority
will remember the 30,000 majority
cast in fnvor of statewide prohibition
at the election last full and that they
will leave the "teeth" in the bill as
drawn up und passed by the house.

HOMESTEAD LIMIT
HomeAteftders Who Took Iews Than
1 AO Acres of I n ml Aim Given
Wider Latitude
Both houses ot congress have pass
ed an amendment to the enlarged
homestead act so as to provide that
where a homesteader on agricultural
land has taken less than 160 acres,
ho may take in a dry-farming area
not merely the difference between
what ho has previously homesteaded
and the full 160, but twice the diff
erence. For illustration, if he has home
steaded 120 acres of agricultural
land, under the old ruling he has
been limited to forty acres more. Un
der the new law he can take twice
that, or eighty acres, in a dry-farming
section.
Franklin K. Lane, secretary of the
interior, announces that during Jan
uary more than 1,000,000 acres were
designated for entry under this act, I
of which nearly 150,000 acres was
in Custer county, Mont., and a part
of that is still available fot new en
tries. In South Dakota there were des
ignated more than 500,000 acres, but
It Is practically all entered or patent
ed, although there are small areas
open to entry In Lyman, Tripp, Greg
ory, Stanley and Perkins counties.
There were also some lands desig
nated In Colorado, Utah and Washington.
