RIVEH CONFAB LN DEADLOCK
Bill to Have State Treasurer Collect
Gas Tax Meets Opposi
tion in Senate
Lincoln, Feb. 19. The standpat
Republican bloc In the state senate,
which has opposed Governor Weaver
several times this session, presented
considerable opposition Tuesday to
a measure which embodied his plan
to cut down the code departments.
The measure, senate file No. 78,
was introduced by Senator Warner
of Waverley, and provided that the
gasoline tax shall be collected by the
state treasurer rather than by a sep
arate bureau under the department
of agricultue.
Weave For It.
Senator Warner declared that the
gas tax receipts must now pass
through the hands of the bur.au
chief and the secretary of the agri
culture department before finally
reaching the state treasurer. He de
clared his plan would eliminate all of
this extra work and that the gover- ;
nor during the morning had said he ;
still favored the plan.
Those opposing the measure fav-!
ored the collection of the tax by the '
secretary of agriculture, pointing out
that the work could be done under
the supervision of Secretary Mc
Laughlin with the aid of one or two
clerks.
Muny Bills Passed
Five bills sponsored by the Ne
braska League of Municipalities were
passed by the senate. All are related
to the governing of the procedure
of mayors and councils in the var
ious classes of villages, towns and
cities.
Under the provisions of senate
file No. 39 the major and council
of cities of the second class have
the power to employ efficiency ex
perts to perform such duties as they
see fit. A broader application of this
means that such cities may employ
city managers while still retaining
their council form of government.
The other measures passed pro
vide for the following:
All ordinances and resolutions for
payment of money by a municipality
shall be read on three different days
unless three-fourths of the council
or trustees shall despense with the
rule.
In cities of the first class from
5,000 to 25,000, ordinances and reso
lutions, or orders for the appropria
tion or payment of money shall re
quire a majority vote of the members
of councils or commissions, and or
dinances of a general or permanent
nature shall be read on three dif
ferent days unless three-fourths of
the members vote to suspend rules.
Any property of any municipality
shall be sold for a cash considera
tion only.
Mayor and council of cities of sec
ond class shall have power to per
form any act or thing when the mat
ter of exercising such power is not
specifically pointed out by statute.
Omaha Bee-News.
Santa FeJC M.,Feb. 16. Little
progress "was made- Friday In the
Colorado river conference being held
here in an effort to find a solution
-of - the differences between Arizona
and California over the allocation
of water of the. Colorado river.
. Following the morning session, the
"conference adjuorned over the week
end. Attempts to interpret provisions
of the Swing-Johnson Boulder dam
bill in relation to water allocated to
the lower basin states, and particu
larly the waters of the Gila river, a
tributary of the Colorado, developed
a wide divergence between Arizona
and California viewpoints.
John L. Bacon, chairman of the
California delegation, declared it was
absurd for Arizona to claim 2,800,
000 acre feet of water from the Colo
rado river and all water of the Gila
river, which amount to 4,500 acre
feet.
"This would give Arizona 7,000,
000 acre feet," Bacon said. "And
if all this water is included within
the 7,500,000 acre feet allowed the
lower basin states, where does Cal
ifornia come lfi
In replying, A. H, Favour, Ari
zona water commissioner, said:
"Under the Santa Fe compact,
California is allowed 4,500,000 acre
feet."
SET TRAP FOR THIEVES
The names of Nebraska and Kan
sas will appear on all stamps of from
1 to 5-cent denominations sold with

master J. Dean Ringer learned today.
The test is to be made In these
two states in an efTort by the post
office department to cope with thiev
es; to render more difficult the sale
of stolen stamps and facilitate the
tracing of stolen stamps from one
state to another, and if successful, it
was said, the plan will be extended to
all states of the union.
