LEGISLATIVE NOTES.
A committee of attorneys from Omaha
appeared before the joint judiciary com
mittee and urged for the retention of
the supreme court commission. The
committee represented the State Bar
association, also the Omaha Bar asso
ciation. Three bills making different
provisions for the retention of the com
mission are pending before the legisla
ture. The committee championed none
of these In particular, but argued that
the multiplicity of cases demanding at
tention of the supreme court made es
sential the continuance of the commis
sion.
"In my judgment It will require at
least a month for this committee to
complete its work in proper shape," said
a member of the joint revenue commit
tee In reference to the task confronting
a subcommittee appointed to codify all
the revisions of the revenue law made
J by the committee at large. This com
mittee consists of these members: Sen
ators Brown and Pemberton, Represent
atives Thompson. Sears, Loomis and
Sweezy. Its work Is to whip Into shape
all the fragments of revision thus far
produced by the main committee, whose
work Is Incomplete. Then th main com
mittee is to resume operations and play
for the goal by means ef the codifica
tion of the subcommittee. Under the
circumstances, therefore, the introduc
tion of a revenue bill la a rery IndiUnlte
Lieutenant Governor McGUton has orig
inated a plan with reference to the con
sideration of bills before the legislative
committees which he thinks ought to be
incorporated in the rules of the senate
over which body he presides. The plan
provides a method whereby all parties in
tercsted directly or indirectly In any
measure may appear before the corn
rcittee having the bill in charge and be
heard in the discussion of It.
Lieutenant Governor Me-GIlton has
framed his idea in this manner:
All standing committees shall keep a
calendar of bills in the order in which
they are referred and consider the same
In such order, except where passed by
the vote of a majority of all members
said committee. In which case the bill
thus passed shall not lose its place on
the committee calendar. Each standing
committee shall give notice to this body,
thiough its chairman, at least one day
n advance of the time and placo of meet
ng and of the bills to be considered by
t, so that all persons interested may ap
pear and request a hearing, subject to
such limitations as tha committee may
mpose.
The lieutenant governor further outlin-
ng his plan, says:
"The time to be heard on any bill is
while it is before the committee. The re
port of the committee, while not necessa
rily or inevitably linal as to its disposi-
on. always has a great influence on the
action of the senate or bouse, to which
ever body it is made. It too frequently
happens that a bill gets past the com
mittee in the senate or house, before the
ommittee of the whole and is placed on
ts final passnge before outsiders who
have a legitimate interest in the measure
et the opportunity of being heard on it.
hey have no way of knowing when the
committee is to consider the bill and
consequently no opportunity of giving
expression to their views. The adoption
of this proposed rule, which could be
used in the house as well as the senate,
would obviate all this, and, I think, be
a very good thing for many other rca-
When a Man is Drunk.
The ancient problem, "When fs a
man drunk?" Is a quest ion on which
doctors emphatic-ally disagree. In
Scotland, where the authorities havo
nome experience of the drunken, a
shibboleth forms the test. Tho Glas
gow police extract from the suspect
easy and llucnt tuteranc-e or tno
words, "Shoes and socks shock Su
san. In Kdinburgh the authorities
hold to the ancient "HurKcss' fish
sauce shop." In some parts of TCnR
land the man must walk a chalked
line, and other tests include the sok-
en words, "Truly rural' "Hritiah con
stitution and the apotheosis of tho
thistle-sifting woman who had "six
sieves of sifted thistles and six sives
of unsifted thistles."
Where Birds Fly.
Interesting; facts as to the flight of
birds have resulted from a long series
of observation:!, whose general .ret
suits have recently been published.
An eagle was observed by Ilergessell.
of Strasburg, to fly at a height of
9,000 feet. A lark was detected at
an altitude of 1.O00 feet. Aeronauts
have encountered crows as high as
1,200 feet from the earth. These,
however, are exceptional altitudes for
bids to attain. As a rule. 1..1(H) feet
soeros to be the limit. The German
Ornithological society has been con
ducting experiments with pigeons,
and finds that when liberated at a
height of 9.000 feet clown to as little
as 2.700 feet they drop rapidly to a
much lower region of the atmosphere.

Women Doctors in Paris.
How many women doctors practice .
in Paris? A statistician has gone
into the question. He finds that while
twenty years ago only seven women
had taken their medical degrees there,
in the face, moreover, of violent ot
position, the 3.600 physicians now es
tablished in Paris include fifty-seven
women. The latter all have busy and
remunerative practices.

TO GET INTO PRINT.
"I see that some adverse comment Is
attempted," said Attorney Baldwin, "be
cause the railroad companies utilize the
newspapers to present their side in the
tax controversy, and because they ex
press a willingness to pay the expense of
printing. Why should tl.ey not. The ar
guments presented are unanswerable.
The outside counties of the stati are vi
tally interested. The Omaha papers give
only one side of the question. The out
side newspapers are entitled to roceive
information exposing the selfishness of
the Omaha real estate boomers. And the
railroads have a perfect right to pay for
the expense of printing this information
The railroads have no newspaper of
their own to present the case, and there
is no one newspaper of wide circulation
standing up for the rights of the country
as against the encroachments of the large
city. The defense of the country must
come from the country papers. We can
not demand that they use their space
without recompense, although many of
them, recognizing their own local inter
est in the controversy, decline compensa
tion and freely open their columns to
forcibly express their opinions of the
Omaha scheme. The criticism from the
Omaha boomers is ridiculous. It sounds
like the plaint of a failing and hopeless
cause.

WORKING ON REVENUE UK
A revenue law bavins for its hnsis
the constitution of the state will be re
ported by our committee to the legisla
ture when the legislature convenes next
week," said Representative Loomis of
Dodge, the fusion member of the revenue
revision committee. "The reports that
have been published to the effect that
our bill will be modeled along the lines
of the present revenue law of Nebraska.
or of the Kansas bill, are alike incorrect.
Portions of the Nebraska law will be
used; portions of the Kansas plan will
be used; features will be incorporated in
the bill from the revenue laws of Cali
fornia. Indiana and other states; and
portions of the bill will be largely orig
inal with the committee. But as a whole
the bill will be built along no hard and
fast lines; it will be Independently con-
tructed to meet the requirements of the
situation according to the best judgment
f the committee.
"While in a general way, the commit
tee is pretty well agreed as to the salient
features of the revenue law it will rec
ommend, I could not myself tell, at the
present time, just what those features
re. The whole work has been divided
among snb-oommfttees. None of these
cemmittees have completed their work.
Their work, when it is completed, will
be subject to review and: correction by
the whole committee. Consequently noth
ing is nxetf. nothing is decided on, and
no correct statement of the committee's
work can be given out until the task Is
completed."
