THE BEE: OMAHA. TUESDAY, JULY 10. 1017. Nebraska i 3 MILLIONS MORE BY LAST State Auditor Reports This Ex cess'Was Appropriated by Nebraska Lawmakers of This Year. (From t Staff Correspondent.) Lincoln, Neb., July 9. (Special.) The last session of the legislature is responsible for expenses and appro priations of $3,000,000 more than the previous session, according to the re port of State Auditor Smith just from tne printer. It is difficult to estimate the exact amount because part of the appropria tions are raised by special levies, and as there is no way of telling just the valuation of the state at this time, the estimate is not reliable. - "According to the auditor, the spe xial levies, which amount to a total of 4.68 mills, will bring in $4,710,894, This is based on an estimated state i valuation of $5,000,000 more than last i year. However, with one-third of the I counties reporting, the increase is ! now more than $7,000,000. so that it ' is safe to say that the increased valul- ! tion will raise an amount something ! over $5,000,000, which will make the ' total appropriation of the last scs eion run over the $10,000,000 mark, as the appropriations from the gen eral fund amounted to $4,983,295.04, which, with the estimate of $4,710,894 the first special levy estimate made by the state auditor, which he now ad mits was much too low, will run the total appropriations for the biennium over, the $10,000,000 mark as against appropriations of the previous legis lature which were $7,27.,7UU.

EXPECT NEVILLE TO RESIGN OFFICE Democratic Politicians Are Still All Aflutter Over Prospect of Having Howard in Place at Capital. (From a Staff Correspondent.) Lincoln, July 9. (Special ) Dem ocratic politicians who combed Ne braska from stem to stern last year in an effort to find a man strong enough to lambast the Bryan fac tion of the party and defeat Charles W. Bryan for the democratic nomi nation for governor had all their en ergy for naught, for there is every indication now that while they were successful in finding their man, were successful in seeing him defeat Mr. Bryan for the nomination and aealn successful in landing their man in the governor's chair, they' are now facing the cold proposition of seeing their plumed knight resign the office of governor and a man promoted to the place-who was one of the strongest Bryan followers in the state and who has no love whatever for the Hitchcock-Mullen faction of democracy in this state, which discovered Keith Neville and made him governor ot the state. Look for Resignation. It is becoming' almost a settled prophecy that within the next two weeks, the resignation of Governor Neville will be sent to Lieutenant Governor Edwar Howard and the lat ter will step into the gubernatorial offices. With the promotion of the lieutenant governor to the governor ship, the new governor will promptly name Mr. Neville for a commission as colonel of the "Dandy Sixth" or to some commission in that regiment satisfactory to the present governor. Most people figure that the colonel ency of the new regiment is the po sition the governor desires and if so there is little question but he will get it. Some are expecting that when Gov ernor Neville gets to Washington United States Senator Hitchcock will take him back of the senatorial barn and give him to understand that if he resigns as governor and allows Edgar Howard to step in, that he will lose the prestige he has gained through the friendship of the Hitchcock-Mullen combination in the democratif party. Picture Little Confab. Some people are rather likely to smile just a little when they draw the picture of that confab out back of the senatorial barn, and knowing the ability of the present governor to do as he "darn pleases," believe whit the senator may say to the governor will not cut very much of the congealed article. It is this same hard headedness on the part of the governor that has sev oeral times caused sme of the afore said politicians to shrug their shoulders during the past six months. Appointees of the present governor, who have just been able to draw the first long breath of relief since his accession to the chair, are now af fected with fluttering hearts again and are beginning to feel that realty the political life is hardly worth the liv ing ad the worst thing they can see about the war with Germany is the fact that Governor Neville may resign and Governor Howard reign in his stead.
