Plattsmouth where he was arraign
ed on the charge of robbery from the
person in the case of John Mick and
his son while returning home from
their place of business of conducting
a pool hall, was tried to a jury on

hearing and consideration was dis
charged as there was nothing in the
evidence which came to the jury to
hold him. Everett had claimed that
he was not guilty and that he must
have been taken for some one else,
as he was at home at the time that
the robbery occurred. The testimony
of the family, where he was playing
cards during the evening, was to
the effect that he was not out during

and revisions of the functions of the
administrative code departments,
Governor Bryan, in his budget mes
sage today appealed to members of
the legislature to "lay aside every
thought of partisanship and party
advantage" and meet the demand of
the taxpayers that a "part of the
present tax burden be removed and
the weight of the load be adjusted to
their ability to pay.'
The governor recommendations
for appropriations for the various
state departments call for expendi
ture of $5,500,000 less than had been
requested by department heads.
For funds to be raisde by property
taxes he asks $10,687,098.50 for the
biennlum 1931-33. Other funds rais
ed from fees, federal highway aid
and gasoline tax total $28,730,218.

Governor Weaver recommended on
his retirement January 8.
The house chamber was crowded
to capacity when tha session was
called to order by Lieutenant Gover
nor Theodore Metcalfe of Omaha. It
was the first time he had presided
over a joint assembly since his in
duction into office.
Governor Bryan, accompanied by
I'nited States Senator-elect W. J.
Bulow of South Dakota, was escorted
to the speaker's desk by a joint com
mittee of the two houses composed
of Senators Kenneth S. Wherry, Paw
nee City, and Harry K. Easton, Om
aha: Representatives F. O. Price of
Thayer and C. J. Mitchell of Roca
and Dan C. Henerman of Hubbard.
For Simpler Government.
"We have been trying to use a
form of government that is entirely
too large for our state," the gover
nor said. "The more I investigate,
the more I am inclined to believe
that we do not need, and should not
have either so-called secretaries or
deputies as heads of these admin
istrative departments if we are to
keep faith with the people in simpli
fying our government to their needs."
His recommendations for this
simplification follow:
Consolidation of duties of
state fire marshal, boxing com
missioner, highway patrol and
enforcement of game laws un
der the state sheriff saving 15
thousand dollars.
Discontinuance of the depart
ment of agriculture and creation
of a department of inspections.
The bureau of animal industry
would operate under the latter
department, bovine tuberculosis
eradication work would be elim
inated. Would Abolish Departments.
Abolishment of the depart
ment of labor and welfare, af
fecting a saving of $86,690. La
bor and health functions would
be carried on by separate depart
ments while child welfare work
would be given over to the state
superintendent.
Creation of a department of
roads and irrigation to replace
the department of public works.
Auditing of all highway expen
ditures by the governor's fi
nance department, with all pur
chases being made through the
state purhasing agent. Creation
of an office of efficiency engi
neer. Abolishment of trade and com
mence department with banking
and insrance functions per
formed by separate departments.
Abolishment of present bureau
of securities, now a sub-division
of the trade and commerce de
partment. Abolishment of legislative ref
erence bureau; bill-drafting to
be done by attorney general.
Hits at Rail Commission.
Abolishment of public library
commission, its functions to be
performed by the university librarian.
In trimming the railway commis
sion's request for $141,680 to $90,
280 Governor Brvan asserted that
Hip r.-immission seems to become a
school of instruction for future em
ployes of public service corporations
and might well be abolished.
The governor estimates that fed
eral and state funds would be avail
able for the paving of approximate
ly two hundred miles and the gravel
surfacing of approximately nine hun
dred miles during 1931. in addition
to grading and drainage.
Road Building Doubled.
"This makes a very formidable
road building program, equal almost
to a 100 per cent increase for paving
and graveling and at the same time
all federal aid funds for the biennium
will be protected." he explained. "It
would be most unfair, in view of the
existing financial conditions, to make
an increase in the gasoline tax at
the present time."
He nronosed that the barber and
cosmetology boards be included un
der the bureau of examining boards
Discussing his proposed elimina
tion of the trade and commerce de
partment, he said:
Seeks Trained Men.
"One of these departments re
quires the services of an outstand
ing banker and the other should be in
charge of a man thorougniy exper
ienced in the insurance business. To
attempt to operate these two depart
ments under one head makes it nec
essary for the governor to outline
the plans for each, with the result
that the trade and commerce secre
tary becomes simply a middleman."
He pointed out that a similar situ
ation exists in the department of la
bor and welfare and urges that to ob
tain efficiency these functions should
be separated and trained men be
placed in charge of labor and health
functions.
Discusses Code Salaries.
In recommending that game war
dens be placed under the state sher

this would be no way to interfere
with the work of the game and parks

lie devoted a considerable portion
i l his message to a diHcuHsion of the
Rovernor'ti power to remove code nec-
rle
the
puties and the proposed repeal of
cone laws.
"The governor has that power,"
he asserted, "but if the legislature
makes appropriations for an activity,
it will be the duty of the governoi
to appoint a sufficient Dumber of
men and women at suitable MlarteH
to spend the appropriations.
