Cochran Silent
on Time of His
Special Session
Shall the Governor's Call Limit the
Lawmakers to Gas Tax for
Old Age Pensions?
Members of the legislature who
are to be called to meet in special ses
sion to raise funds for an old age
pension are still in the dark concern
ing the probable date. Governor
Cochran gave no further indication
late Friday as to the date of the ses
sion. If it is necessary to await ac
tion of congress regarding further
appropriation for the federal "social
security" administration and co-oper-
i ation with states in old age pension,
unemployment insurance and other
kindred topics, the legislature would
not be called until sometime In Jan
uary, after congress acts, if further
action is necessary. If congressional
action proves unnecessary, the session
could be called by the governor any
time during the fall.
If the governor should be con
vinced, as some are trying to do, that
a set-up to meet federal funds for
unemployment insurance is neces
sary, the session may be somewhat
hastened, as it is represented that
$2,000,000 in payroll taxes will be
collected by the federal government
from Nebraska in 1936 and that the
state will not get back its promised
00 percent of that amount unless it

Seward that day and heard the ad
dress of the Georgia governor.
Held Annual Flower Show
The South Ashland club was pleas
antly entertained at the country home

nesday afternoon, September 11, with

ke, O. F. Peters, John Peterson, Clif
ford Nichardson and Mrs. Alice Keet
le as assisting hostesses. The club

son and Mrs. Ed Brunkow each won

freshments were served. Forty-five
were present at the meeting.
Meeting of Dorcas Society
The Dorcas society of the Christian
church was pleasantly entertained on
Friday afternoon, September 13, by

Coleman at the Jansen home. After
the usual business meeting the rest
of the time was spent socially, dur
ing which time most delicious re
freshments were served.
The next meeting will be held on
Friday, September 27, at the church,
with Mrs. P. E. Clymer, Mrs. L. C.
Marvin and Mrs. R. E. Mathews as

cents a mile for once going to and
returning from a special session. It is
assumed that proposed bills will be
prepared in advance and passed upon
for constitutionality before they are
submitted to the special session.
From the governor's statement It
is understood that he not only desires
to disburse the $1,500,000 now on
hand in the state treasury, most of it
raised by the now unconstitutional
one cent tax on gasoline, but that he
proposes to disburse this for the bone
fit of the aged destitute in the form
of a pension, so far as it will go, and
in addition to appropriate other
funds to augment those on hand or
funds yet to be collected from gaso
line and liquor fees.
Corrective and emergency legisla
tion only is to be included in the gov
ernor's call for a special session. The
objects of the special session have
not been outlined by the governor aa
they will be when he issues a formal
proclamation.
The state constitution, not changed
by the unicameral amendment adopt
ed by a vote and the people, still con
tains this provision:
"The governor may, on extraordin
ary occasion, convene the legislature
by proclamation, stating therein the
purpose for which they are convened,
and the legislature shall enter upon
no business except that for which
provides machinery for accepting and
using that amount for unemployment
insurance.
Governor Cochran, in a prepared
statement, said he is investigating
national legislation and the Nebras

the act of the last legislature void.

May Dictate Details.
The question may arise as to
whether the governor has power to
dictate in his call the details of a
bill he desires pasted. If he should
decide that he desires funds raised
for an old age pension by taxation of
gasoline and words his call accord
ingly, can the legislature ignore that
source of revenue and adopt some
other method of raising the money,
such as a sales or income or a prop
erty tax and would a departure from
the governor's call render any such
act of the legislature void as not be
ing germane to the call?
If the governor should In general
terms ask for an appropriation oi
funds for old age pensions, legislators
say there is no doubt but what they
could use their own judgment in ar
riving at details of the legislation.
In a decision rendered in 1901 the
supreme court of Nebraska held the
legislature in special session can
transact no business except that in
cluded in "objects of the proclam
ation calling the session." It alio
said:
"That the entire proclamation of
the governor convening the legisla
ture in special session should be con
sidered in determining whether any
given act at such session is germane
to the objects stated in the call of
the executive."
Appropriation of the funds now
on hand derived from the illegal 1
cent gas tax, also beer and liquor tax
funds which have been collected,
"and will be collected," for the bene
fit of aged destitute, is promised by
Governor Cochran in his statement.
As forty days are allowed for filing
a motion for rehearing and a suit is
not deemed finally disposed of until
such motion i3 disposed of, this state
ment of the governor is construed by
some to mean that the 1 cent gasoline
tax will continued to be collected
until a mtlon for rehearing is dis
