CONVENTION NOTES
Lincoln. Ono of the liveliest debates
since the convention opened preceded
the adoption of Propositi No. 221, by
Anderson of Lancaster, which pro
vider Jury verdicts by n llvo-slxtlis
vote In civil eases. During threo days'
discussion of tlio proposal two amend
inentp, submitted by Delegates Adler
mid Kcntt of Chase, ono to Include
criminal cases except cnpltul crime,
itiKi tlio other to Include all criminal
rusi' veroj llatly rejected. This ac
tion ir.arki'd the first real constructive
work of tho convention. The present
constitution guarantees the right of
trlu I by Jury, and authorizes the legis
lature to provide for verdict In courts
Inferior to the d'strlct court by less
than twelve. The convention now au
thorizes tho legislature to provide for
verdicts In civil cases In any court by
not less than live-sixths of the Jury.
Among the proposals reported by
standing committees for indefinite
postponement during the past week
are: No. 30, which would strike out
of the constitution provision against
slavery or Involuntary servitude; No.
08, which proposed to nmend Section
7 to prevent Issuance of search war
rant except where there Is probnblo
cause for felony; 138, requiring Jury
trial for constructive contempt nnd
verdict by nine Jurors Jn civil cases.
(This amendment wus submitted by
Blgelow of Douglas, labor delegnto),
and No. 8, which would strike out of
the constitution .state's retention of
suit springs,
Suggestions of Governor McKelvIe
that tlio only executive elective olllcers
of the state government should be tho
governor, the lieutenant governor and
comptroller, (akltig the plucc of the
state auditor and the state treasurer,
hnve been embodied In a statement of
eight clauses submitted In wlrtlng to
the convention. Governor McKelvio
nlso gave out nn clght-pnge printed
pamphlet where research commissions
mid public olllcltils from 10 states have
endorsed the centralization of au
thority. t
An nmcndniciit which does away
with the stututory requirement for n
full copy of a referred law to be at
tached to every potltlon when It is
circulated for signatures has been
adopted by the committee handling
proposals bearing upon tho section of
the constitution, In addition to fixing
u scnlo of reduced pcrcentugea for
Initiative nnd referendum petitions.
This provision of the Initiative and
referendum law is? now 'under? attack
in tho supreme court of Nebraska, in
tho case Involving tho code referendum.
Upon recommendntlon of tho educa
tional committee the convention by big
mnjorltles killed Proposol No. 20 by
Bryant, which provided ' compulsory
education of all children In public
school und Proposal No. 49 by .Flans
burg requiring the state board of as
sessment to lovy n state tax for reim

falcation and any future losses.
Mnuy school principals and teach
ers, headed by Superintendent Jesso,
Ncwlon of Lincoln, appeared before,
tho convention tho other dny and
urged tho enactment of a provision for
n state board of education pf seven

Which provides for tho organization
and Jurisdiction of courts. When rendy
it will ho laid before the full Judicial
department committee for approval,
nnd the now article as flnnlly agreed
upon, will then go to the convention.
By unanimous voto the convention
decided to clinngo the constitutional
requirement for adoption of tho town
ship plan of county government by
providing that u majority of tho votes
cast on tho question Itself will decldo
tho Issue. Thu present constitution
requires a majority vote of nil per
sons voting at the election.
The educational commltteo has given
Messrs. Selleck nnd Pugsloy time to
redraft Proposal No. 102, known us
the "schoolmasters code bill." Tho
commltteo found It unacceptable In the
present form.
The convention In committee of the
whole, rejected a resolution that would
practically liuvo instructed Its com
mittee to provldo for election of state
and county ofllclala In years other than
those In which n presidential election

Tho convention refused to put any
stumbling block In tho wuy of
booze-hounds by requiring search war
rants accurately describing tho porsou
or thing sought before premises could
be searched.
During tho course of debate on tlu
Anderuoii proposal last vrcok, H, M,

vention in commltteo of the whole, do
