cussion und Kennedy opposed the bill,
nnd f.nally secured the adoption of an
amendment excluding Dnugulj county
fri m the operation of the measure,
which in its amended form, was recom
mended for rmssage.
Two eventful proceedings occurred In
tho House on tho Mth, one an appoal
from the dec Won or th tspeiiMcr an4
the other u oull of the lieuso to note
abMnico nitd members presont and not
voting. Both came as a result of the
LEGISLATURE
fight over II. R. 103, by Jones or Otoe,
the bill providing for th election of the
county commissioners by vote of the en
tire county, which had been denominate
cd a party measure. Jones, tho author,
was absent and nn effort wan made to
have tho bill passed over until tho au
thor could be present- Sweezy and oth
ers opposed this. Sweezy, who wns
ngnlnst tho bill, agreeing to pair with
Jones. The speaker ruled that action on
tho hill should be taken, and Spurlock
of Cass moved to appeal from tho de
cision of tho chair nnd was seconded by
McAllister of Deuel. Tho speaker was
sustained. The other remarkable Inci
dent was when the bill was put to a
vote. Several members present refused
to vote, whereupon Douglas of Rock
moved the call of tho house nnd the
motion carried. The bill wsb finally lost,
fifty-one votes being necessary for pas
sage. Tho house then took up the bridge
bill, II. R. 112. and voted to recommit

permitting the popular election of United
States senators.
TO COM1PKL MEN TO VOTE.
Representative J. A. C. Kennedy of
Douglas county mny Introduce a bill
providing for compulsory voting In cities.
Ho Is known to bo Interested In the sub
ject nnd Is said to bo collecting data and
information with a view of drawing up
such n measure. A bill to compel every
qualified elector in the country districts
to vote nlrendy has been Introduced Into
the legislature by Representative Ellers,
nnd is known as H. R. 159, being now In
tho hands of the committee on elections
and privileges. It provides a voting tax
of $3, a receipt for which shnll bo given
by the judges of election when each man
casts his ballot, the receipt (o bo ac
cepted by the county treasurer In pay
ment of the tax. The only other alter
native than paying the amount is a
sworn statement dcruirlng physical dis
ability on election day. Mr. Filers also
has Introduced IT. R. 15$, which seeks to
make the genernj election day each year
a holiday, on which the schools aud all
places of labor shall bo closed.
To City Engineer Rosewater Is given
tho credit for originating tho compul
sory voting Idea for cities. He says:
"It is one of tho reforms that I would
make to Improve citizenship. If citizen
ship Is good for nnythlns it is worth
earning. I do not believe In sending
carriages variously labeled for people on
election day.
"I do believe, however, that If every
man Is compelled to voto or pay a fine
w will get an honest expression at till
times, cither In special or general elec
tions. I would have n board of regis
tration llko a census board, to check over
the list of registered voters to see wheth
er ench casts n ballot and to keep close
tab on the eligible voteis of the city.
Tho 'tine thnt should be administered in
case of failure to voto should be enforc
ed by the board, and $5 for each offense
nould be the proper amount."
TO CONSIDER BRADY'S BILL.
Through the efforts of Senator Brady
of Boone, a meeting of tho joint railroad
committee will be held In the sennto
chamber on Monday. The meeting will
be open to the public and will be for the
purpose of considering S. F. 102, rlch
was Introduced by Senator Brady. This
bill provides that any railroad company
operating within this state shall, when
requested In writing, by the owner, own
ers, or operators o. any elevator, at any
station within this state through which
any railroad is operated, erect und main
tain a nide track of sultuble length to
approach ns near as four fet of the outer
edge of their right of way when neces
sary, und In nil cases to approach any
elevator that may be erected adjacent to
their rlEht of jvny, for the purpose of
loading grain Into curs from snld ele
vator. The bill carries a clause providing
a penalty of tl.OOO for fullure by any
transportation company to comply with
tho law.
In view of the great movement now
going on In this state In the way of or
ganizing co-operntlve elevator companies,
it is thought, by those. Interested, that
this bill Is one of the most important, If
not tho most Important, now before tho
legislature, especially to ull country dis
tricts. The recent organization of farm
ers perfected in Lincoln looks for its
hardest light for life with the railroads
on the very point answered by S. F. 102.
and for that reason It Is desired by tho
friends of tho measure thut ull parties
interested will lend their weight to help
carry it through.
TELEPHONE INVESTIGATION.
Tho meeting of the telephone Investi
gation committee developed some excite
ment. Representative Morsman of
Douglas Insisted on the right of cross
amlnatlon by Morsman. The effect of
City Telephone company, who had been
brought from Mincnapolls by the so
called Independent telephone people to
testify as to rates. Senator "Warner of
Dakota, chairman of the committee, de
nied this right, and then Senntors
O'Neill, Glflln nnd Meredith sided with
Morsman and the result was that Jud
son was subjected to a rigid cross-examination
by Morsman. The ffect of
the cross-examination was not encour
aging to the Independents, but rather
favorable to the Nebrnskc. Telephone
side of tho controversy. At the conclu
slqn of the meeting Senator Howell of
Douglas took occasion to resent a state
ment made by President Yost of tho
Nebraska Telephone company that he
had como'to Lincoln as representative
of the Omaha Commercial club.
NELSON'S BILL DOOMED.
It Is said that Representative Nelson's
negotiable Instrument bill la doomed to
postponement. The measure is a long one,
codifying the laws relating to paper of
this character. It Is a copy of the Ohio
luw and In many ways Is n good measure.
It Is meeting the objections made against
ull radical changes. The members have
not time to study it carefully, and besides
the citizens ure against innovations no
matter how good thoy may be. Repre
sentative Jauvenat of the committee on
bunks and currency Is In doubt whether
to give the measure his support and oth
ers have so Indicated.

PROSPERITY IN CANADA.
Xh Farmer In "Western Cnnac" AcbUTea
Wonderful Success.
One of the first things that the man
who wishes to change his residence
endeavors to find out is where he can
go and succeed. It need bo a matter
of little doubt or indecision now. Dur
ing the past four or five years the de
velopment of Western Canada has
been so rapid, and the conditions of
life there so widely known, that up
wards of 100,000 Americans havo taken
up their homes there, and the experi
ence of these poople Is that they are
thoroughly satisfied with their cboico
of home.
The methods of farming there nro.
similar to those adopted In the United
States, but the operations arc simpler,
the yield of grain greater and tho
profits more satisfactory. Ranching
Is carried on with lots of success.
Mixed farming Is always profitable,
while the results in grain-raising aro
an certain ns splendid soil, excellent
cllmato nnd lots of sunlight can give.
The yieldB of , but nothing Is as
satisfactory as the experience of tho
farmer himself, and extracts are se
lected from one.
A good, intelligent farmer named
Mears, John Mears to be exact, left
Cavalier county, .North Dakota, two
years ago and followed tho thousands
who hnd already gone to Canada. Ho
had twenty-five years' experience in
Minnesota, in buying grain, including
flax, but in all his experience he never
saw n district so well suited to tho
growth of flax as Western Canada.
Tho financial results of Mr. Mears'
operations In a single season are as
follows: Wheat, 3,000 bushels, 1 hard,
at 57c. $1,785; 2,080 bushels 1 North
ern, at 54e, $1,457.20; Oats, 1,750 bush
els, at 35c, $612.50; Speltz, 154 bush
els, at 75c, $115.50; Flax, 324 bushels,
at $2, $628. Total, $4,598.20, a return
of more than $4,500 from a little over
250 acres, an average of $18 per acre,
is surely testimony sufficiently strong
to satisfy the most Incredulous as to
the money to bo mado out of the soil
of the Canadian West. It is to facts
like these arguments expresslblo and
demonstrable in dollars and cents
that the steady northward movement
of American farmers is due. Mr.
Mears is settled near Areola, Assa,
A number of Americans who havo
chosen Western Canada as a home
had tho idea that a man enjoyed less
freedom in Canada, but they soon
found their mistake, and say tho laws
of Canada are tho most liberal in tho
world, and such as prevent the litiga
tion which breeds so much bad feel
ing between people In tho United
States and costs them so dear in law
yers' fees.
Tho government has established
agencies at St. Paul. Minn.; Omaha,
Neb.; Kansas City, Mo.; Chicago, III.;
Indianapolis, Ind.; Milwaukee, Wis.;
Wausau, Wis.; Detroit, Sault Ste.
Mario and Marquette, Mich.; Toledo,
Ohio; Watertown, S. Dakota; Grand
Forks, N. Dakota, and Great Falls,
Mont., and the suggestion Is made
that by addressing any of these, who
are authorized agents of the govern
ment, it will be to the advantage of
the reader, who will bo given tho
fullest and most authentic Informa
tion regarding the results of mixed
farming, dairying, ranching and grain
raising, and also supply information
as to freight and passenger rates, etc
Trust not the woman that thinketh
more of herself than another; mercy
will not dwell in her heart.
