of school money. It provides thnt one

ing to the number of pupils. Senator
Fries said he believed the bill was not
thoroughly understood in the house,
liencc he Introduced it in tho senate. It
seeks to tnke from the larger school
districts money that they now get under
tho apportionment law und give It to tho
smaller districts,
Tlie revenue bill Introduced In tho
house on the 22d Is entitled: "A bill for
nn net to provide a system ot revenue
nnd to repeal nrtlcles 1, 2, 3, 4 and G of
sections 4, 5, C, 7, S, 0, 10, 11 and 12 of
nrtlcles vll of chapter lxxvll Compiled
Statutes of Nebraskn for the year 1901."
It was Introduced by J, A. Douglas,
George L. LoomK AV. T. Thompson, W.
G. Sears. V. A. Sweezy. C. J. Warner
und W. II. Wilson, the special house
committee appointed by Speaker Mockett

Pemberton, Fries, Saunders, Day, Ander
sen and Reynolds In tho framing of a

TO REGULATE THE TONTINES.
The bill regulating Investment compa
nies Introduced by Senator Harrison ns
S. F. 222 wiib drawn up by several par
ties Interested In the building und loan
business In this state.
The bill Is for the purposo of regulat
ing so-called "diamond tontines" nnd
"home co-operntlves." It Is claimed that
this class of companies have done a
large and lucrative business In this stato
with the laboring class of people and
that the business has not always been
to the benefit ot the investors. Reput
able building and loan companies, it is
claimed, are regulated by laws which
provide that before they can transact
any business they must file a statement
with the state banking board setting
forth the plan under which they Intend
to do business and that the permission
ot the board must be secured before any
business can be transacted.
It Is stated by the friends of the build
ing and loan companies that tho law
has been proven a good one by the
nourishing condition of the companies
now doing business In the state. It Is
contended that any concern which seeks
to secure periodical payments from tho
wnge-earnlng class should be governed
by a law similar to the one which gov
erns the building and loan companies.
