LIQUOR FIGHT IS FORECASTED
Contest Between Wets and Drys
Looms Ud In House Tom Hail's
Measure to Prevent Duplication cf
Public Utility Plants Under Fire.
Lincoln With all the auuropr:a;:cn
bills now before the legislature, men:
ters of that body are to be given abun
dant opportunity to keep last tail's
pledges to the voters.
It will be a gala occasion and on3
worth much red fire and shouting
among the taxpayers It the pledges
are kept. There are appropriation
bills oi Jll,434.0o0 pending.
That is something more than J3.2S0,
000 in excess of tne alleged extrava
gant appropriations of the ses
sion. Hence, the ;ob ahead of the
Eo'ons is seea at a glance to be one
of immense proportions. If they
knock bills to the amount of $4,000,000
in ihe head as they will have to do
to go letter than the last i-ession
they will be an exceedingly hard
worked set cf fellows.
I. ttey meet the mark set by Gov
ernor Morehead of beating ihe i0i3
record by $1,000,000 they will have to
arise early in the morning ar.d re
tire somewhat late in the evening !t
win mean work, work, and lots of it
The big appropriation bills the
maintenance, salaries, deficiencies ar.rj
claims bills total $4,600,000 as nearly
as one can figure it fiom the rapid
change being made in them.
Just what they will total in the er.d
of course r.o one can tell. There are
likely to be many fights waged upon
them, fiahts cf those officials who do
not like to sea the consolidation
made that are proposed, and who tlo
not care to subscribe to the same prin
ciples of economy that are there laid
down.
Tom Hall, railway commissioner,
and long thought to be the most rad
ical member of the commission, is
holding a record for lobbying this ses
sion that is likely not to be beaten
by any other lobbyist who comes here.
For Tom talks all the time even in
his sleep. U is said about the Lill he
wants to get through, while the other
lobbyists desist once in awhile.
Hall's bill is one of the most danger
ous that has ever been thrown into
the legislative hopper. Members of
both the Republican and Democratic
parties say that. There is an assault
on it daily in the halls of the legisla
ture and if it gets through there will
be the worst surprised lot of legis
lators that has ever come down the
street.
The measure, it ran be explained,
seeks to give the railway commission
the right to prevent the duplication of
public utility plants in towns that are
already served by existing plants. It
would do away altogether with compe
tition and would make it impo.sitiie:
for public ownership to thrive in 3
municipal way in any towns of thn
state where private companies now
have aTjrm hold in the field
The telephone companies of th
state are for it that is the big ones
The-y foresee time under such rule
when they would not only have a mrv
r.opoly on the field, but when they
could get by a commission with such
rate raises that they could operate at
a most unusual gain to themselves
and not a soul could stop them. If
any man or men sought to interfere,
then the railway commission couM
simply extend its hand and s.ay. "Pub
lic necessity does rot demand a new
plant. Stop your building and settle
down to ray the rates we have set."
Such action would be revolutionary.
It would completely disembowel ths
present constitution and would tesu!t
in such a condition as would border
en autocracy.
And Tom Hall bn it remembered
by the people of the state is th;
pusher of this bill, the man who
would lika to see it put through and
who is working with might and main
to put it through. '
He is the man who. while paid by
the people of the state to work for
thm. is working for a bill which ia
directly opposed tq their best inter
ests. Greater example of the miscar.
riage of the effort of a public servant
has cot hern witnessed in this state
in many a day.
Not far removed from this bill as
far as application is cor.cfirned is tlin
Blauser bill, giving the railway com
mission the right to control all public
utilities of the etate. This, measure
would hit at a spot not far from the
Hall measure. If the two were enacted
it would throw the railway commission
into a most unprecedented position
That body would be by far and wid3
the most powerful hedy of any part of
any state government. It could spell
defeat or success for any public ser
vice enterprises ii the country, ani
three men. under its provisions.icbu'.d
have more power than some kings
abroad have at the present time. Th
measure was suggested in the gov-
i ernor's message, acd it was said at
; that time that the executive was de-
r(eirio:s cf
having it euactea. Many
of his frieads pointed out to bUn alt-
t
erwards that he should not have made
this recommendation. Many of the
Democrats of the lower house have
said time and again that the bill would
not get very far. but that if it came
up on the floor of the house they would
most assuredly work against it and
vote against it.
Suggestion of some of the wet and
drv leaders of the Senate and the
house thnt nil linnor and antiliauo
bills be indefinitely postponed and
that nothing lie done one wav or the
other at the present session to impair
the submission of the prohibition ques
tion two years hence, does not appear
to mppt with universal sunnort. The
members of the lower house, because
of activity of some of the wet mem
hers, are dailv expecting that the
Gates bill, allowing saloons to operate
at Fort Crook, will be put througi
that body. If that measure goei
through it will mean that the com
pact, or rather desire of some of the
leaders, will be severely fractured an
that action on all the other dry and
wet bills wiil be taken.
Among this number are some of de
elded interest. The Chambers b?li
permits cafes and hotels of Omaha tc
sell drinks until midnight and pro
vides an extra license for the priv
ilege. Another liquor bill prohibits
the sale of intoxicants to the studer
of any educational institution in th
state. This applies not only to stu
dents of the state university, but of a!
normal schools, all colleges, all busi
r.ess colleges and every institution
where any kind or learning is proi
lered.
cti'i .nnfr-er temncrance measure
prohibits the sale of liquor within tw
miles cf any department of the statn
university This would virtually mui.e
Lincoln dry. It would alio seriously
Irconver.ience a number of otlu
towns, as far as the sale of liquor is
nrvorrtfi This tr.-aKiire was on"!
proposed during the university remova
fight in the 1913 session. It was om
over which thero was a queer di
vision The dry members of the sen
ato were against it. tho wet member
of the house were for it. All arounl
it provoked an unusual line-up on the
liquor question.
If all of these bills are dealt with
toapther with the Anderson bill olos
ins the saloons at 6 o'clock in the
evpninar it will mean that much acri
monv will he instilled into affairs here
anrl that some other perfectly good
legislation will have to suffer by re:1,
son of it. Generally, where the lii
uor question becomes acute, there is
trouble somewhere. There is no e
rrntion in this case. Most of the men
are beginning to hope that if all thero
hills come un. thev will be settled ac
cording to the views of the individual
and that no factionalism or party dis
sension will be brought into the affair
The fate of the public warehouse
i c-t ill in the balance. There
are many of the farmers in the leg:v
lature Democrats and Republicans
who are against legislation of this
sort. They say there is no demand foi
it. Good party men, those who be
lipve in keening the Democratic party
pledge, say that if the party had gone
upon that basis for years past there
would have been no beneficial laws en
acted. They point, for instance, tc
the bank guaranty law which fit
party now prides itself upon.
The measures at present pending be
fore the legislature are being mould -d
into one document by the agricultural
committees of the house and the sen
ate. and it is probable that before the
session end is reached there will be
something resultant that will make
n.ott of the Democrats prick up their
ears and listen. The party has a
chance to make good on this feature,
according to the views of some of the
leaders and there should be no fall
down at this time. The farmers whe
are taking no interest in the legisla
tion are not said to be against any
legislation If that kind of a criterion
were used to judge all governmental
changes by there would likely be nr.
Improvements of any kind either in
the government or in society or in
anything else.
With regard to demand for legisla
tion. it is pointed out that in taxatior
something which hits the farmer
harder than anything else there can
tot be said to be any clear cut and ex
pressed demand for any particulat
legislation. There is a general belief
that the laws should be changed. bu
as for adopting a fair change or
changes to conform to the recognized
principles of modern tax reform, there
are few farmers who understand the
situation. This is seen in the legisla
ture's view of the recommendations o!
the state tax commission, whicli
worked two years in investigating the
subject. The chances are that few, 11
any. of the changes will be put
through, all because there is "no do
mand'' for the legislation. Yet the
changes are right jn line strikingly
so with the reforms wanted by the
neonle. It is one of the queer things
in connection with lawmaking and will
always be. When it will end nobody
knows. There are some who say thai
it will not end until legislatures end
If that is true then the outlook is ex
cedingly difficult, and the probability
is that there will never be any real
changes in Nebraska taxation laws nr.
til the people of the state can be made
to see the need of a new constitutional
amendment, on the-subject. " That is
thfe opinion of those who are students
of the subject. And many of them arc
men who profess to see no ned for
a general new document. That is
they are men who admit the strength
of the present constitution" as a whole,
but who s"9 nee-i of chafing it iD
certain particulars. s
