HOUSE
Shortly after convening on the 3d the
house took up consideration of II R 330
through the reports of the committee on
cities and towns The majority of that
committee McClay of Lancaster Crop
sey of Jefferson Ferrar of Hall Cassell
of Otoe and Roberts of Dodge recom
mended the bill for indefinite postpone
ment and the minority consisting of
Gilbert and Nelson of Douglas Sweezy
of Adams and Beecher of Platte recom
mended it for passage A good deal of
discussion took place Loomis of Dodge
vigorously pleaded for the bill The prin
ciple involved in it he declared to be of
the most vital concern to every taxpayer
of Nebraska and added that it was of
more importance than anything that
would come before this leglislature For
that reason he thought the house would
seriously err if it summarily killed the
bill He said the opponents of the bill
were not lacking in ability to discuss the
measure in committee of the whole nor
were its friends unable to hold up their
end of the argument No harm there
fore could be done by placing the bill on
general file The vote to concur in the
majority report was 53 against 3S thus
the bill was killed II R 20 by Gilbert
of Douglas the South Omaha charter
bill came back from the committee on
cities and towns by majority and minor
ity reports It was amended in a num
ber of ways the point of difference being
the amendment providing for direct taxa
tion of railroad terminals The major
ity was against the clause and the
minority Gilbert Nelson of Douglas and
Sweezy of Adams were for it The ma
jority report that the bill as amended
knocking out the taxation clause was
svstained Among Gther amendments to
the bill is one providing that the rail
roads keep up repairs on the viaducts
which clause was left out of the original
bill The Shelly bill providing for a
governor appointed board of fire and po
lice commissioners was incorporated in
the bill as a compromise for the exten
sion of the time of city election in South

having it come off this year A petition
was read from the citizens of Franklin
county praying for an amendment to
the revenue bill so as to elect county

bordinate assessors
In the house on the 4th the judiciary
committe reported for passage H R 4
by Nelson of Douglas the measure pro
viding a negotiable instrument law un
iform with that of twenty one other
states The bill was held up by the com
mittee to hear from lawyers the ma
jority of whom are said to be in favor
of it while some bankers are said to
be opposed to it as it imposes more
strinsent regulations on the bankers in
making out their protest papers A res
olution by Knox of Buffalo was adopted
providing for the printing of 1000 more
copies of the general revenue bill 1000
copies already having been printed
These bills were passed H R 112 by

bridge bill that has occasioned more
debate in the house than any single
measure without the emergency clause

ing salaries of county superintendents
in thirty seven counties of the state II

The first debate on the revenue bill
occurred in the house on the 5th It was
reported by the revenue committee fifty
amendments Sweezy moved that the bill
be placed at the head of general file
to be considered in committee of the
whole and that the amendments be print
ed Disagreed to A motion by Gregg
that the house work through the days of
next week on other matters and on the
revenue bill at night prevailed The
house passed II R 128 by Jouvenat of

so called Bartley cigar box and the of
ficial conduct of ex State Treasurer Me
serve insofar as it is said to have been
involved In the matter The house In
committee of the whole recommended for
passage II R 323 by Ilathorn of Red
Willow granting to Russel F Loomis
a certain quarter section of land in Red
Willow county The bill has been the
subject of a series of fierce debates and
Dr Hathorn in gaining its recommenda
tion has scored a signal victory as the
result of a most persistent fight Loomis
filed on the land as a homestead in 1S72
He was given his first and second papers
by the governorment But after obtain
ing his second papers the government
notified him that the land had been
turned over to the state of Nebraska as
school land Loomis began suit against
the government and after years was ad
vised that he would have to look to the
state for relief He has been striving
ever since to get his claim The bill as
recommended for pasage Is amended so
as to reimburse the school fund for the
price of the unimproved land which is
to go to Mr Loomis
Instead of taking up bills on first read
ing on the 6th the house on the forti
eth day of the session immediately went J
into committee of the whole and launcn
ed into the ocean of bills on general file
The first two measures on general file
were H R l and II R 2 both of which
were at the authors requests passed
for the day A spirited debate ensued on
a bill by Nelson of Douglas between
Nelson and Loomis of Dodge The bill
compels a mortgagee appealing from a
decree of foreclosure by a lower court
to furnish bond for the rent of the land
pending the continuance of the action in
the appellate court Loomis attacked
the bill as a measure calculated to work
serious hardship upon property owners
and should not be allowed to pass The
discussion resolved itself into a heated
controversy between the two debaters
Loomis secured the adoption of amend
ments destroying the effect of the bill
Sixty five bills were introduced during
the day but very few were read It was
the last day on which bills could be reg
ularly introduced
By previous agreement the representa
tives did not expect any business on
the 7th and only a bare quorum attend
ed As soon as roll call was completed
nearly a dozen members left the hall
and departed for their homes The bills
introduced on Friday were read for the
first time and after receiving the spe
cial comunication of Governor Mickey
on insurance of state buildings the
house adjourned till Monday at 2 p m
The house convened at 2 oclock on the
9th and entered at once on bills on second
reading Sixty four measures completing
the list were thus disposed of The house
took a recess at 4 oclock until 730 when
the revenue bill was taken up At the
first night session of the house to con
sider the revenue bill held friends of the
measure proved sufficiently numerous to
prevent the adoption of any material
amendments to the first twenty sections
Sections 19 and 20 providing for the elec
tion of a county assessor and for the
appointment of deputies by the county
assessor vith the consent of the board
occasioned the greatest debate At the
conclusion however the committee voted
not to amend either section Section 13
enumerating property exempt from tax
ation was amended to include fruit in
the list On motion of Sears of Burt
section 14 relating to tax Hens was
amended that taxes should be a first
lien Junkins of Gopher moved to amend
section 12 by inserting that property
should be assessed at 25 per cent instead
of 20 per cent of its value This the com
mittee promptly killed

bounty claim was embodied in a parate
bill
