dSBUE PROGRESS HAS
BEEN HE III LEGISLATION
IDE ASSOCIATION
III
The Two Principal Measures That Loom Up Largely Are the
Initiative and Referendum and County Option Measures.
"Marked progress has been made
during the Erst twenty days of the
present legislative session. Of course
the heavy work is done in committees
and for this reason the sessions have
been arranged to allow the greatest
opportunity for the committees to
meet and consider the merits of the
bills introduced. There always seems
to be a demand on the part of the
public for a short session this in the
interest of economy but the facts
are, that legislators are paid by the
day for their work and must put In
at least sixty days and can receive
pay for only that amount of time.
The two measures that loom large
in the Thirty-second session are the
Initiative and referendum and county
option. No one has breathed a doubt
that the former measure will pass,
but it is uncertain In Just what form
It will finally be enrolled. Senator
Sklles, of Butler county, and Repre
sentative Hatfield Introduced bills
Identically alike in their respective
bouses and the consideration of the
measure began In the Benate where
others sought to Introduce amend
ments that would tend to make the
enactment more conservative than as
originally Introduced. As democrats
and republicans alike are practically
pledged by their platforms to endorse
direct legislation it Is merely a ques
tion of Judgment as to what Is best
to write Into the bill.
Whatever the house may do with
the county option bill It Is generally
thought that the measure cannot pass
the senate, w here it must have seven
teen votes. Thirteen of the fourteen
republican members of the upper
house, and three democrats, are
pledged to Its support, but Bartllng,
republican, la the unknown quantity.
Both sides have claimed him but the
prevailing opinion seems to be that
he will not vote for any county option
bill that will be satisfactory to its
outspoken friends.
Capital removal Is being talked
seriously and a bill Introduced In the
LEE RCKLER WINS WREST
LING Hill STANTON
Lee Flckler, of Plattsmouth, the
lightweight champion wrestler, won
another hotly contested match at
Stanton Saturday night, and came off
a victor over the Denver heavyweight.
Odell weighed in at 191 pounds
and Flckler at 146, the handicap be
ing that Odell should take two pin
falls within an hour. There was a
big turnout at the Raabe opera house
in Stanton, making the gate receipts
run up to $161.25. The Cass county
champ took everything, gate receipts
and the $100 wager. The wrestle
w as a go catch as catch can, Btrangle
holds barred, Folice Gazette rules to
govern the match. The match was
rcfereed by Walter Sunshine, of Stan
ton, who is an artist In the ring him
self. Before the match was put on a
preliminary wrestle between the
Wood Brothers was put on and lasted
about 15 minutes.
.The match between Flckler and
Odell was an exciting one, the Den
ver champ getting one fall at the end
of 47 minutes and 11 seconds, but the
terrific struggle told on his strength
to the extent that he was unable to
floor Flckler the second time.
Lee arrived in Plattsmouth last
evening and bears his honors meekly
and with the spirit of a true athlete.

house Is signed by twenty-eight mem
bers. A poll of the senate encour
ages the "removalists" to believe that
they can pass their bill and get the
matter submitted to the voters of the
state. It is undisputed that the capi
tal building at Lincoln Is getting
"ratty" and there seems to be little
disposition to make an appropriation
for repairs or alteration.
There is roseate promise of some
effective good roads legislation.
Several bills have been Introduced to
this end and all have been referred to
a special Joint committee of the two
houses with the Idea that the best
features of all of the measures be
whipped into shape and compiled into
a comprehensive road bill. Automo
bile people and farmers seem to be
working harmoniously to accomplish
the same result good roads.
Chairman Gallagher of the house
finance committee has prepared the
general salary appropriations bill and
Is being congratulated by his friends
upon his conscientious work, which
has resulted In the early Introduction
of the measure.
Little In the way-of politics Is be
ing played. The democrats have a
bare working majority In either
branch and they are devoting their
energies to redeeming their platform
pledges and enacting some needed,
wholesome laws. The corporations
appear to be signally Inconspicuous
this session and it Is suggested that
they have not forgotten the Jolts they
received at the hands of the demo
cratic legislature of two years ago.
Considerable interest is being taken
in the redistricting bills now before
the legislature and other bills are to
be yet Introduced. It is apparent that
politics will play no part In the con
troversy, because the republican gov
ernor would certainly veto a bill that
favored the democratic majority. The
chief difficulty will probably occur in
making five congressional districts
out of our present six districts.

at the top of a twelve-foot ladder
cleaning the west window of the
News-IIerald office front when the
ladder slipped on the smooth brick
pavement, precipitating Charles to
the ground with much force. At first
it was thought he had broken his
ankle. Mr. F. H. Copeland, the office
foreman, and his wife, carried the
injured boy into the office and sum
moned Dr. Cook, who directed him
to be taken to his home. There, after
an examination it was determined
that no bones were broken, but a bad
sprain the result of the fall. Charles'
escape was a narrow one. If the lad
der had gone through the glass, no
doubt Charles would have been badly
cut up, and he is fortunate after all
that the Injury is not more serious.
