LET'S
Let's walk a little straighter, live a Utile cleaner, woik
a little harder, speak a little sofur, deal a little tquarer.
Let's give the other fellow a vote of confidence until
he proves himself absolutely unworthy of such. Even
then, let's try to show him the error of his way, and if
possible restore him to our good graces.
Let's slow up our car and let the nervous pedestrain
cross the street, with the thought that his destination may
be just as important to him as ours is to us.
Let's "move over," "move up in front" or do any
thing that will help the social or ccmmeicial rr achiwery
to function more smoothly in order that the greatest good
may come to the greatest number.
Let's take our full share of responsibility, political,
social and moral. Let's get into the game of Jile with all
oui heart and soul,-and in the language of that greatly
loved American. Theodore Roosevelt, "buck the line
hard."

The Child
baked products and good wholesome milk in accord
with its appetite's demand, is the child that enjoys a
healthy robust constitution and a sunny disposition.
GOLD GATE flour is the raw material from which
such baked products can be made, and they will be so
good and wholesome that the child will never tire of
them and his appetite will never lag.
Sweets- and meats in extremes upset the child's
whole physical being.
There are no extremes when it comes to bakings
from GOLD GATE flour. They are wholesome to the
last mouthful that craving or appetite dictates.
GOLD GATE flour is a balanced ration milled

ARGUE AFTER BILLS ARE READ
Senator Saunders of Omaha Asserts
- Joint Session No Place For
Governor to Submit Bill.
Lincoln, Feb. 20. Gov. Charles V.
Bryan appeared before the legisla
ture today and presented 44 bills,
known as companions to his execu
tive council plan of government. The
original bill, known as skeleton, was
introduced earlier in the session.

istrative code.
The governor flayed the civil ad-
ministrative code, and charged it, as
usual, with extravagance, waste and
inefficiency. In telling what a good
form of government he proposed, the
governor read figures showing the
number of state employes on the pay
roll in July, which is the height of
the road building season in Xebras-
14 'Jt 1 v 1 " - O
ka. Then he said that under his
plan,
will be 150 emplyes less. '
-, nortmon nr
there
Figures
public works show that in July 100
more employes are on the payroll
than during the winter months. The
governor took July in showing the
number of employes under the code,
and used the winter months in show
ing how many he would have under
his executive council plan.
He also said that the accounting
part of the department of finance
and revenue could be carried on by
the state auditor with no extra help.
Then minutes later George Marsh,
state auditor, denied that he could
do the work without extra help.
The governor also said Dan Swan
son, state land commissioner, could
act as state purchasing agent with
the assistance of one multigraph op
orator. Mr. Swanson, however, said
that if he takes over the work of
purchasing agent, it will be only
with a full and competent staff.
After Governor Bryan concluded
reading his message to a joint ses
: 1 m or the house and senate and his
44 supporting bills for the executive
council form of government had been
placed on the speaker's desk there
was a question as to proper proce
dure. 1
Senator Charles ,L. Saundvrs. Om
aha, asserted, that a joint session was
no place to introduce the bill. He
pointed out that under the constitu
tion the governor must introduce
bills either through a member or sev
eral members, or through a commit
tee. Governor Bryan asserted the con
stitution stated plainly it was pre-

troduce a bill the governor, under
the Saunders interpretation, would
be powerless to have his bills con
sidered. At this point senators left the low
er house and marched to the senate
chamber.
Speaker Mathers, republican, sided
with Governor Bryan and announced
he would consider a motion for the
house to accept the governor's bill3.
The motion was made by Regan,
as . adopted unanl-
i mously.
