WILL CUT DOWN MARRIAGES
The counties in Nebraska border
ing the Missouri river and Iowa, arc
to suffer a drop in their issuance of
marriage licenses, forecast by the
passage of the Augustine bill repeal
ing the Iowa license law. The Iowa
law for tho past two years carried a
provision requiring a five day no
tice before the issuance of marriage
license, the result wa3 that several
hundred cf the matrimonial inclined
from that state, made their way to
Nebraska to be weddeC The Case
county marriage record this year was
the largest in the history of the coun
ty judge's effiee, exceeding 1921 by
200, a great part being from Iowa
parties who came here to avoid the
five day law.
The measures restricting the is
suance of licenses has not been popu
lar in any state and Nebraska found
that their ten day law, enacted some
four years ago was the means of
sending Nebraskans to Iowa, Kansas
or Missouri for the purpose of being
wedded and the law was repealed
two years ago.

ern California excursionists from
storm bound Lake Arrowhead was
virtually completed. Highway de
partment rescue workers, employing
snowplows, trucks and tractors,
opened up the highways leading out
of the mountain resort. Bright skies
and a warm sun brought a quick end
to the Sunday blizzard that turned
into the worst mountain storm of
the season in southern California.
Apparently a few cases cf frost bites
were the only casualties.
Bill Reported
Out to Erase
Some Offices
lluir of Lancaster, Proposes
Group All tho Amendments
in One Document.
to
Proposed constitutional amend
ment to abolish the offices of secre
tary of ctate, land commissioner and
auditor, creating the elective office
cf state comptroller, introduced by
Muir of Lancaster, was voted out
late Tuesday by house constitutional
amendments committee of which the
is a member. Campbell of Thurston,
is chairman.
At this same meeting the member
from Lancaster procured favorable
committee action on her motion that
a sub-committee be named to make
a schedule of all proposed amend
ments to the constitution with a
view of submitting them to the peo
ple of Nebraska at one time. The
chairman named Chase of Douglas
and Graff of Cuming. In explanation
of her motion, Mi33 Muir Eaid:
"If a brief summary is made (100
words or more), giving the essential
points in each proposal and append
ing thereto the words 'yc3' and 'no,
these amendments could all be voted
on at onco as was the case in rati
fication of the amendments as drafted
by the constitutional convention of
1920. This would save a large sum
of money."
She further explained that the
plan depends not alone upon house
ratification but upon similar action
in the senate. The governor has
made no recommendation calling for
an appropriation for submission of
amendments. The legislature, how
ever, may provide such amount as it
may deem essential.
Regarding Constitution.
The constitution says that pro
posed amendments shall be published
once each week for four weeks in at
Icat one newspaper in each county.
It further provides that when two
cr more amendments are submitted
at the same election, they shall be
so submitted as to enable the elec
tors to vote on each separately.
The committee on irrigation and
drainage will report for indefinits
j postponement H. R. 59, Meier's bill
for consolidation of administration
of drainage district No. 1 with city
administration. The committee i3 re
ported to have put the bill to death
last Thursday but the chief execu
tioner has, for these several inter
vening days, declined to pronounce
it dead. The introducer was among
those who "understood" the supreme
penalty had been exacted on Thurs
day. After the meeting on that day,
committeemen mj'steriously declined
to comment on what happened be
hind closed doors.
Those who urged postponement
did so on the theory that the present
setup is more or less responsible for
the unloading of Cood watcr3 upon
Cass county farmers and should reach
ecttlement with those damaged. Up
wards cf ?70,000 of damage claims
have been filed but an agreement was
recently reached to waive damages
if the channel is cleared acro33 the
Cass county corner this spring. It is
expected that Saunder3 county farm
ers may then object to being flooded
and that clearance may extend to
the Platte.
MUSIC PROGRAM

students of Plattsmouth high school,
