MUST HOW RUN THE GAUNTLET Attorney General Davis So Interprets Two Apparently Conflicting Sec tions of Amended Constitution Attorney General Davis has given Governor McKelvie an opinion hold ing that under the amended consti tution of the state the governor shall submit aPDointments of secretaries under the civil administrative code bill to the house and senate jointly The appointment of state tax com missioner and other officers which ir the future inav be created by law should be submitted to the senate. The attorney general was askec to interpret the following which is ? new portion of section 1, article 4, as numbered in the amended constitu tion: "The heads of all executive depart menu established by law, other than those to be elected as provided here in, shall be appointed by the gover nor. with the consent of a majority of all the members elected to the senate and house of representatives meeting in joint session, but officer? so appointd may be removed by thr governor. Subject to the provisions of this constitution, the Leads of the various executive or civil depart ments shall have power to appoint and remove all subordinate em ployes in their respective depart ments." The attorney general, comment ing on this provision, said: 'This section reauires the submission oi the governor to the members of the joint session of appointments to exe cutive deoartments already estab lished by law, such as the code sec retaries." Section 10 of the same article in the constitution, which is unchanged was submitted to the attorney gen eral. It reads: "Sec. 10. The governor shal nominate and by and with the advice and consent of the senate, (express ed by a majority of all senatorr elected, voting by ayes and nays), appoint all officers whose offices are established by the constitution or which may be created by law and whose appointment, or election ic not otherwise by law or herein pro vided for, and no such officer shal be appointed or elected by the legis lature." In reply the attorney general said: "This requirement of sub mission to the senate alone supplier to executive appointments already provided for by the constitution sue as. tax commissioners, and all ap pointments to executive position? which may hereafter be created by law. In our opinion your appoint ments of the various code secretaries must be submitted to joint session. while your appointment to the of fice of tax. commission or to othe officers which in the future may be created by law need only be submit ted to the senate." Governor McKelvie recently ar nounced his intention of reappointiar the secretaries of the code depart ments, who are: Philip F. Bross, finance; Leo Stuhr, agriculture; J E. Hart, trade and commerce; F. A. Kennedy, labor; G. E. Johnson, pub lic works; II. H. Antles, public wel fare. The governor also announced the appointment of W. II.

A dozen or more speakers were called upon for five minute talks. One of these, Robert Windham of Plattsmouth, made a statement which was also given prominence by others, that it was the soldiers who entered the state at the close of the civil war who largely filled the state and county offices and dominated the legislature in early days. "Instead of going out of war into dissipation," said he, "the sol diers took up land and helped make the state what it is." Judge C. B.

Jerome Shamp told a little personal history as a tribute to what Nebraska can. do. for people. He came to the state in 18 66, at the age of nineteen, di rect from the army, lie had been so crippled by the war that for more than fifty years he has needed a crutch and a cane in order to get about. He had so far as he knew no blood relative, lie did not touch on the hardships of homesteading, but dwelt on the pleasures. In forty-nine years, he said, he had made but one move and that was from the homestead to Lincoln, where het .nill lives. Of the seven children and twelve grandchildren who have come to himself and wife, ho said that all were living. He expressed the hope that the N'ebraskans of to day would carry on the great work of the pioneers. The executive committee appoint- ed by the president is composed of L. A. Simmons of Lincoln, It.

SHORTER HOURS W SAVE LAYOFF HEADS OF BURLINGTON AND LA BOR ORGANIZATIONS MAY CHANGE PLANS THIS WOULD ASSIST EVERYONE Shortening of Hours and Discontinu ance of Layoff of Men Would Give All a Chance at Labor. The heads of the Burlington at Chicago as well as the heads of the labor organizations to which the shop unions are affiliated have been for Feveral days trying to arrange a plan whereby the railroad could carry out their program, of retrenchment of expenses of operation and still not inflict on the working men too great a burden dv layons oi large num- I bers as had been the first plan. The matter was taken up by the I labor union headquarters with the five-day week will meet with the I hearty approval of all of the shop emDlovea on the Burlington. The local shop unions at their meeting last evening by a practically unani mous vote decided to accept the five hour day in preference to allowing any more of the men to be placed out of employment in the layoff that has been proposed. Since the initial lay off at the shops here of five per cent of the em- I Ployes there has been another cut notice had been given that in the neighborhood of sixty more would be let out by the 15th of the month, and it. is hoped that in the change of plans to shorten up the working I hours at the shops it may be possible to have these men left at work for the present at least. The fact that the grain move ments over the country are increas ing and the general spirit of relaxa tion that Is growing after several months of a tight market has led to the general belief that the railroad situation will. In the coming two months show much improvement and enable the railroads by the first of March to resume their normal acti vities. The cutting of the working hours hn the shops which would result in a saving to the railroad would di- vide the burden of loss in wages among the employes so that they would all be able to remain at work and eliminate any of. the hardships that come when the men are forced out of employment as they have been The general plan to shorten the hours will prevail at all of the shops of the Burlington on both the east and west lines.
