THE NEBRASKA SCENE By the Lowell Service Expressions of opinion on the unicameral legislature are now be ing exchanged by utility, railway, and insurance executives. At a meeting of utility men to be held in Grand Island there will be an address by one of the most astute and experienced legislative repre sentatives in the state. To call this man a lobbyist would be a serious mistake. One of the astonishing results of this interchange of ideas is the growing sentiment to abolish all forms of entertainment, cutting out drinks and cigars, prohibiting the payment of hotel bills, and for bidding dinners and junkets. A member of the legislature would be treated like a judge and all dis cussion of legislation would take place at actual sessions. Several of the public service and railway lobbyists urge simplifica tion of the legislative machinery. Hearings, they assert, should be before the entire legislative mem bership. “Chicken feed’’ matters should be grouped and disposed of under routine rules. After a meas ure is discussed in open hearing and final action taken, the decision should not be reversed during the session. Four year terms, with part of the members elected every two years, increased salnries, and more attention given to the budget are suggestions made by several of the unicameral critics. It is significant that none of the lobbyists or at torneys who represent big inter ests suggest changing to the bi cameral. On the size of the legis lature, opinion is divided. One jrroup favors a body of a hundred members. Some of the unicamer alists advocate thirty-three mem bers on the plan of the bicameral senate. To aid in enforcing the new creamery law, providing for the purchase of cream on grade, the state department of agriculture has selected the following men to act as a committee of seven: Sidney Dallas, Lincoln; Fred Akert, Oma ha; Dr. P. A. Downs, Lincoln; S. J. Cramer, Hastings; J. C. Morgaard, Superior; H. E. Dick, Alliance; and W. T. Stewart, Seward. The purchase of a burglary and robbery insurance policy, at a cost of $589 for $210,000 of the 17 mil ions dollars of securities he holds in the state treasury has been an nounced by State Treasurer Walter H. Jensen. He states that most of the securities are so marked as to be practically non-negotiable. The policy covers robberies of messeng ers transporting the securities, as well as robberies from the vaults. Accompanied by a stalf of six university students, including Hen ry Angeling of New York Univer sity, and twenty WPA workers, Dr. Earl H. Bell, University of Nebras ka archueologist, left Lincoln Wed nesday for Verdel, in northern Ne braska. There excavations will be made thruout the summer, in the hope of making further discoveries in regard to the prehistoric civil ization of the land which is now Nebraska. A. L. Haecker, state dairy com missioner, was one of the speakers at the annual meeting of the Or leans Equity Creamery cooperative, held at McCook Tuesday. Ole Han son, manager, reported a balance on hand June 3, of $72,100. Frank Waggoner of Republican City and A. C. Flammang of Orleans were reelected as directors. Dr. P. H. Bartholomew, state di rector of health, reports that there have been 473 more births in Ne braska during the last year than during the preceding year. Among them were one set of triplets and 311 sets of twins. The total num ber of births was 23,799. W'hite race births increased, but those of all other races decreased. “Unnecessary" is the word used by Governor Cochran in denying the request of E. F. Margaret, di rector of county assistance for Douglas county, and the executive committee of the state worker’s alliance for a special session of the legislature. The governor explains that conditions have not changed since the legislature adjourned. The Nebraska Supreme court has taken under advisement a case in which a Lincoln ordinance for the licensing of house movers is at tacked, the claim being made that it is unconstitutional. The case is an appeal by Joe Phillips a Lincoln man who was fined $10 and costs in the district court for attempting to move a house without a license. His attorneys point out that the ordinance requires house movers to post a $15,000 bond, and they con tend that it is practically impos sible to obtain such a bond. Frank M. Coffey of Lincoln, who has been presiding judge of the Nebraska workmen’s compensation court since its beginning two years ago, was reappointed to the court Wednesday by Governor Cochran. He will serve six years at a salary of $.‘1,000 per year. The other mem bers are Lawrence F. Welch of Omaha and Charles E. Jackson of Grand Island, who being the short term member, will act as presiding judge. Judge Coffey, who married recently, plans to start soon on a wedding trip thru the Ozarks. The Nebraska Supreme court has announced that it will in the future bar applicants from law colleges that are not on the accredited list of the American Bar association. It will also udmit to practice only such applicants as have had two years’ study in an accredited col lege in nddition to a high school education.
