LEGISLATIVE
COMMENT
Y OLE BUCK
A majority of the special joint com
mittee appointed to investigate th
condition of the finances of the state
made its report Friday evening. Ac
cording to this report the state will
have enough money to pay all of its
expenses up to the end of the fiscal
year, June 30, 1923, and more than
a million dollars over. The commit
tee refused to consider the calendar
year for the reason that it says
there is no way of telling what ex
penses will be for the last half of
the year and that this period does
not properly come under the present
levy of taxes. The minority mem
bers of the committee did not sign
the report, but indicated that they
might do so or they might, at a
later date, submit a minority report.
It is c!aimed that it is not fair to
take the cornerstone for a compari
son when considering the quality of
the stone in the new capitol,"for the
reason that a cornerstone is alwayi
of better quality than ordinary build
ing stone.
Representative Gallagher think
both the architect and state engineer
are at fault, in the controversy over
the stone used in the new capitol.
So he introduced a resolution in the
house providing that both of them
be fired. -
' Two house members created a little
special interest by submitting a ref
lation providing for a joint debate
between Representative Dysart and
ex-Governor McKelvie on their rival
cede, bills. It was laid over.
The bill appropriating $75,000 for
emergency bovine tuberculosis work
was finally killed. This bill came up
early in the session and has been
kept alive by. one means or another
with the hope that it might finally
be passed. The governor was op
posed to it and it had no chance to
become a law without a two-thirds
Tote. On the final showdown it only
got 48 votes.
Representative Dysart opened the
debate on the code repeal question
with an elaborate explanation of his
series of bills, which propose to re
construct the code law. The object
ef these bills is to reduce the code
secretaries to three, cut out duplica
tion and otherwise work the law
over. Osterman and Jacoby present
ed the opening arguments for the
governor's bills. These bills are de
signed to repeal the code law and
distribute code activities according to
ideas advanced by the governor. They
also provide for an executive council,
made up of state officers. The main
fireworks are to come. Predictions
are made that the governor's bills
will all be sidetracked.
No one will object very much to
the bill which provides life imprison
ment for anyone who sets fire to a
building occupied by human beings.
Hanging would be more' appropriate.
An important bill, which will prob
abbr not be heard of because it re
qp&A an appropriation so make it
affective, is one providing for for
estry work in Nebraska. Advocates
f the bill believe it is possible to
cover the sand hills and other por
tions . of the state with trees if
proper forestry work is done. This
session is so. dead set against appro
priations that there is little chance
for approval of the bilL Sooner or
later ?tuch a law will be passed.
' ' The .senate enjoyed a little flurry
over the activities of lobbyists. Some
of the senators thought these people
are. becoming too familiar and should
be restrained. Others said they like
to hear from . lobbyists in order to
Improve their stock of information.
Senator Wiltse suggested that lob
byists be required to wear bells. It
was finally decided that the senate
has a rule covering the situation and
that no special action was necessary.
The senate bill fixing the weight
of trucks that may be used on state
highways attracted a liberal atten
dance of truck dealers when it was
before the committee. The dealers
insisted that the passage of the bill
would drive all of the heavy trucks
off of the roads. Those who see the
damage done by big trucks when the
roads are soft would say amen to
such action. - ,

FIVE WHITE TRUCKS
WAKEN
The senate spent most of a day
discussing the Banning bill classify
ing auto trucks and fixing license
fees for hem. The bill was worked
over so much in committee that the
introducer probably had difficulty
recognizing it. The fees are to range
up as high as $300 a year for big
trucks and passenger busses. The
main controversy was to avoid put
ting undue restrictions on the use of
trucks by farmers and on small town
owners of trucks who use them more
or less in the service of farmers.
Grocers' delivery wagons were also
subject of concern.
One bill provides that inmates of
the girls industrial home may not
get married and another provides
that women who marry inmates of
the soldiers homes may not, by so
doing, gain the right to live at the
home as a veteran's wife or widow.
At present, if a girl in the industrial
home can slip away and getonarried
she has to be released. And all wives
and widows of civil war veterans
have the right to live in the soldiers
homes. Evidently this bunch of leg
islators have no romance in their
systems. Of a certainty, they are a
hard boiled bunch and Dan Cupid
had better keep away from them.
The house was unanimous in favor
of a bill providing for taxing intangi
ble property at full value. But it
refused approval for direct primary
system and recall of state officers.

In 1908 by Mrs. Sheldon, a member
of the Deborah Avery chapter, and
wife of Governor Sheldon. They stay
ed with the vessel until the decision
to scrap it was made. Mrs. C. B.
Letton of Lincoln, and Mrs. Scott
Merrill, of Fairbury, past state re
gents of Nebraska, made the pre
sentation. The short speeches were
followed by a salute and pledge by
the entire audience. Light3 were
then dimmed, and while a small en
sign floated out, seemingly billowed
up by a flood of light. Miss Lucile
Cline sang "The Star Spangled Ban
ner." A processional march to the plat
form lead by Dr. Marjorie Little, fol
lowed by guests of honor, past state
guards and state officers opened the
meeting. An invocation was offered
by Rev. H. H. Harmon, followed by
the singing of America. Addresses of
welcome were made by Mrs. A. R.
Congdon, regent of the Deborah
Avery chapter and by Frank T. Tom
son of the chamber of commerce at
Lincoln. Mrs. Elizabeth O'Linn
Smith responded on behalf of the
etate society, and Mrs. Wallace G.

Mrs. Hanger, a member of the na
tional board, later took the place of
Mrs. Minor as a national speaker,
and gave the closing address of the
evening. She is "housekeeper" of

building at Washington and told of
that work.
Housing of arms conference mem
bers in the hall was spoken of. She,
said that not only were delegates
housed at the hall, but the printing
apparatus which is there made it pos

ference to be printed entire and
ready for use of the delegates within
fifteen minutes after they had been
delivered. I

added within the last administration
than ever before, and the number is
still growing at the rate of one

expected to increase faster than ever,
according to Mrs. Hanger.
Dr. Benjamin F. Bailey took the
platform as the other principal speak
er. The flag, its meaning and its
history were explained, as well as
was the constitution.
"The constitution of the United
States holds nothing which every
true American cannot live up to," he
declared. "It contains everything
that is essential to the government of
an American people. It is the duty
of all Americans to protect it and to
preserve It from tampering."
