COMPENSATION BILL
GOES T0G0VERN0R
Measure in Amended form
Agreed to by Honse and
Senate.
COUNTY SEAT FIGHTS
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
Lincoln, Neb., April 13. (Special.)
Concurrence in the senate's amend
ments to the workmen's compensation
bill, house roll 525, was voted by the
house today when it came back, and
the bill now goes to Governor Neville
for his signature. Mr. Dorsey later
moved to reconsider this action, but
his motion failed.
-In its completed form, the bill in
creases the weekly compensation
benefits from $5 minimum and $10
maximum to $6 and $12, and the total
amount in case of permanent disabil
ity or loss of members from 50 per
cent to 60 per cent of wages during
a specified period of weeks. The fea
ture allowing an employe the option
of suing or accepting compensation, to
be exercised within six months after
the injury, has been eliminated.
County Seat Bill Passed.
It looked for awhile as if Senator
Hager's bill relating to county seat
removal fights would lose out on third
reading, as it had only forty-eight
votes on the first roll call. A call of
the house was ordered, however, and
enough votes were added or changed
to make the total fifty-five. The nega
tive vote was thirty-eight.
The Hager bill, as it passed the sen
ate, provided that after one vote on
county seat location the question
.should not be submitted again within
ten years. The house tacked on an
amendment allowing one submission
in any county before the ten-year
clause goes into effect.
Municipal Utility Bill.
Another measure passed by the
house was senate file No. 51,'allowing
cities and villages to buy or construct
electric light and waterworks plants
and issue bonds therefor when 55 per
cent of the people vote in favor of do
ing so.
Bank Bill Held Up.
The house declined to accept the
conference committee's report dealing
with State Treasurer Hall's bill for
placing state funds on deposit with
banks offering the highest rates of in
terest. The committee was instructed
to consider the bill further and make
another report. The particular fea
ture objected to by Mr. Swanson, who
offered the motion, was an amend
ment allowing a bank to have on de
posit state funds up to 80 per cent of
its capital stock. The house had lim
ited the amount to 20 per cent. The
senate conferees agreed to the house
amendment limiting the interest to 5
per cent.

Legislative Supplies
(From a staff Correspondent.)
Lincoln, April 1.1. (Special.) A
motion by Mr. HofiFmeister, asking

charged for at about double what it
