CONSTITUTIONAL
CONVENTION NOTES
Lincoln. Tho convention In commit
tee of the whole merged the two pro
posals for tho creation of nn Industrial
court nnd a state trado commission
into one, which leaves the legislature
power to do certain things along cor
tnln lines. These two propositions
have been mighty touchy questions for
the convention to handle and havo oc
casioned many days of debate. After
a lengthy discussion, It adopted, 54 to
28, the following amendment, ny
Heasty and Peterson, embodying the
wholo subject:
"Laws may be enacted providing for
the Investigation, submission and de
termination of controversies between
employers nnd employes In any busi
ness or vocation affected with a pub
lic Interest, nnd providing against un
fair practices nnd unconsclonnblo gains
affecting the public welfare; and for
tho purposo of administering and en
forcing such laws, an Industrial com
mission may be creutcd, from the final
orders und Judgments of which nn ap
peal may be taken to the supreme
court."
All sorts of guesses are being
made around th convention cham
b"er ns to how long tho conven
tion will continue In session. The
guesses range from five dnys to two
weeks, and ono guess appears to be
as good as another. At the beginning
of this week only flvo proposals re
mained on the general file to be con
sidered the first time in committee of
the whole. In addition to the flvo
proposals, which may get to second
reading there are three or four others
still remaining for passage on second
rending. This much of the -work can
probably bo disposed of In short or
der. However, all tho proposals which
have been passed and those few still
to be pnssed, approximately forty,
which have been referred to the
phraseology committee, will again
have to run the gauntlet in committee
of tho whole.
Tho convention adopted Proposal
120, declaring water for irrigation and
domestic use to be a natural want,
nnd declaring the water of every
natural strain for those purposes. It
provides the right to divert such
streams for the public use, priority of
appropriation being given the better
right, but when the wnlor of any nn
tural stream Is not sufficient for the
use of nil desiring It then preference
shall be given to domestic purposes.
Those using the water for agricultural
purposes shall have preference over
those using It for manufacturing pur
poses. By n vote of 03 to 10, the convention
pnssed on second reading Proposal 314,
which divides the state Into legislative
nnd senatorial districts nnd counties
having more than one representative
shall bo divided Into as many districts
as representatives are, to be elected in
stead of as a wholo as at present. The
bnsls of apportionment shall be as
shown by tho consus nnd the legisla
ture may reapportion the state not
oftoner thnn once In ten years.
With tho end of the labors of tho
.convention In sight delegates showed
their anxiety to return to their homo
whon somo of the members asked to
bo excused. It was practically decided
that excuses will not bo granod, so
that If delegates do go home they will
bo subject to call of tho sergeant at
arms If a "call of tho house" Is neces
sary to get the necessary votes to
finally pass upon tho proposals.
t
Proposal No. 82, which provided that
all fines, penalties and license money
collected by the game nnd fish depart
ments be used for that department In
stead of going to the general fund,
was defeated by a vote of 37 to 30.
For the first time the "call of the
houso" wns Invoked In an attempt to
get tho necessary flfty-onq votes, but
the call wos raised when It was found
many members wero not even In Lin
coln. The convention adopted n proposal
providing that the state railway com
mission shalj have Jurisdiction over no
public utility other than public car
riers, Including streot car companies,
telephone coinpnnles, etc. Gns, elec
trlct light and power and water con
cerns are left under local control,
President Wenver tins appointed
three committees which will have" the
promulgation of a plan for submission
of the work of the convention to the
voters. One on tho form and manner
of submission, ono on public Informa
tion and another to preporo nn address
to the voters of tho state.
'
Short ballot advocates during the
past week gave up all hope of cutting
down the olectlvo officers of the state
when, by a practically unanimous vote
tho convention considered n motion of
Meservo to bring bnck Proposal 827,
and reinstate- the office of land com
missioner. Proposal No. 332, providing for tho
election of rnllwny commissioners by
districts nnd taking away the right of
