ommended its passage, arose, and ita
report waa adopted by the senate. It
is enlarged upon elsewhere.
Wedassdajr, February 1,

Tba Judiciary committee recom

for letting the job of defeading In

putable attorneys would act bid for

Adjourned.
Free High Behoels.
Beaate fiJ No. 41, by Curri af Cos
ter, to provide free attendance at pub
11 high schools af non-resident pupils,
wsa considered in tha senate Monday
ia committee of the wbola. Th bill
was Introduced to take tha place of a
similar act deolarad aaoonatitatloaal
by tha supreme court Tba bill came
before th senate with tha approval of
tb Nebraska educatioaai council.
Farrell af Merrick did aot Ilka th
idea of having oae county make a levy
ta pay tuition of pupils who deaird ta
go to aebool in another county.
corns of Custer explain! that the
first act waa declared unconstitutional
because It exempted from taxation all
aebool districts that maintained high
high schools, lie bad never heard
aayoaa oppose tb idea In the bill ex
cept tb senator from Merrick. Tb
bill say to each pupil in tb atate, re
gardless of place of residence, that
whan ha baa completed the course ia
tb common schools, when he can no
longer pursue bis studies to advantage
la the common schools, h eball be
permitted to continue hi sduoatioB ia
th neareet high school and bla tuition
shall be paid by a general tax oa prop
arty of his county. Huch a bill would
extend adrantagea of aa education to
hundred and thousands of young peo
ple who are not able to pay.
Fowler of Fillmore aaid tb bill waa
eminently a poor man's bUL If there
was any bill in the legislature la the
interest of the poor, this waa aurely
such a one. The common schools are
free, tha atate untveraity ia as free aa
tb air, and no on could explain why
the connecting link between these two,
th high school, should not also be free
to rich and poor alike. Aa to tha mat
ter of mixing taxation there ia no
mora mixing in this bill than there ia
at preaent in the support of any part
01 the county government.
Many of the senators favored the
bilL They had been unable to secure
suoh advantages themselves, but were
willing that their children and their
friend's children should have every ad-
vantage possible
' r a 1
Van Dtisen of Doutrlns surerestcd one
change that the expenses contem
plated In the act ahould be paid from
the general "fuud" instead of from the
L'pneral levy."
Noyes of lMujlas emphasized tha
point that this bill completes tha Ne
braska educational laws, Joining the
free common schools to the free uni
versity, making the aystum systemati
cal. An effort waa made to cut down the
tuition allowed a high school for non

A NEW PLAN FOR UNION
Hew tb Three Parties May Oat Together
Through the initiative ana
Beferendum,
Editor Independent:
As 1900 approaches all ar beginning
to look forward to tb oncoming politi
cal battle and think of tb candidate
and platforms to be before th voters in
the great struggle wblch will be a politi
cal turning point In tb history ol tbs
nation. All earnest reformers ar anx
ious to see tb retire reform forces of all
parties and all sections of tbs country
working harmoniously together for tb
sccomplishment of on common pur
pose, viz: tb ntter defeat of tb Iniqui
tous gold standard. To do this, all tbs
voters who ars against the (told stand
ard mast be united and work with un
conquerable seal. As on anxious to
see this most desirable end accomplished
I would ilk to offer a suggestion for
your readers' consideration and discus
sion. It seems to me that if come such
plan oould be carried into rffect it would
do much toward unifying the voters.
Let the national committees oltb
three parties, tbe silver republican, dem
ocrat and populist meet together and
formulate a platform upon wblch they
as committees can agree. Then let tbe
national commute of each party send
copies of this proposed platform to their
respective state eommitttees In each
state; tb state committees in turn,
sending out copies to tbe counties.
The county eommltteea, then call pre
cinct primaries at which tbe voters may
assemble, discuss, and adopt this plat
form, should it prove satisfactory to
tnsm. Uocel and state Issues ar ol
course to be exe'uded.
Tbe county and state committee then
report such action as tbs voters may
take, to tbe national committee, and if
tbe proposed platform baa been quite
generally rati find, a national platform
will b already prepared and adopted
for all three parties, and one which the
voters could all enthusiastically support
because t bey could feel that they had
had a voice in making it, and tbatit
had not been forced upon tbem by party
leader. This method would bring into
operation one phase of tbe Initiative,
and would be very etfectlve in educating
the voters In the principles of direct leg
islation. It would furulsb a truly dem
ocratic method of obtaining tbe senti
ment ol tbe voters and teud greatly to
obliterate friction between the relorro
elemente.
The fold standard brethren are mani
festing much solicitude over tbe plat
form uoon wblch the lusionlsta war
