THE WORK GOES ON HOWEVER, NEBRA9KA LEGISLA TORS HAVE YET MUCH TO DO. RILLS KILLED, BILLS BOOSTED Constitutional Amendment to Change Taxation System, Down and Out Other Matters of Interest.

Tho bill proposed tho submission to tho people of nu amendment to tho constitution, nnd that taxes should bo uniform on the Himo subjects, within tho territorial limits of the authori ties levying tho tnx, In plnco of tho present system of taxation on valua tion.

Tho bill has already been passed by the house, and will now go to the governor. Fish Hatchery Looked After. Tho Gates bill appropriating $5,000 for tho fish hatchery at South Bend for special improvements was passed In tho house after a vigorous attack had been made on It by Kelley, In tho houso, seconded by Leldlgh who did not go so far aB Kelley. Tho latter only wanted to reduce the $3;000 to $2,000 whllo Kelley wanted to cut It all out. The Appropriation Bill. Tho houso finished its discussion of tho current expense appropriation bill and recommended It for passago after' a debate which at times bordered on the sensational. Tho larger appropri ations, however, were left Intact, save in tho item providing $1,500 for an ico and cold storage plant nt tho Norfolk asylum. An Item of $75,000 for nor mnl training In high schoolB waB add ed to the bill on motion of Henry of Holt, who was ably seconded by Net tleton of Clay and others.

Tho bill had Its enacting rlauso struck off, and Raper secured" a reconsidera tion of this so tho measure could bo discussed, but tho houso was In no mood to appropriate monoy for the teaching of agriculture In schools, GUARANTY IN THE HOUSE. As Amended the Bill Paeses the Lower Branch. By n volo of 72 to 23, tho houso of representatives passed the Bryan guaranty bank bill, as finally amend ed a few days ngo In tho committee of the whole. Tho volo was not a party ono, a number of tho republicans voting for the measure and several democrats against It. Tho bill ns passed docB not carry an Imprisonment penalty for di rectors who over-borrow. It provides for tho raising of 1 per cent or tho total deposits In the banks taking ad vantage of tho law, during tho first year, or until July i, l'JIO. Half of this Is pnyablc January 1, 1910, and half the following July. After that, one-tenth of 1 per cent will be raised yearly, half being paynblo each Jan uary and July. Other provisions of the bill fix tho nmount of capital necessary accord ing to tho slzo of tho towns, give tho entire banking board power to name tho depositories for tho fund nnd provide for tho regular Inspection of nil banks. Insurance Bill Postponed. Ono of Senator Bartos' Insurance bills was Indefinitely postponed on rcccommeiidntlon of tho Judiciary commlttco of the sennto by a vote oft 17 to 14, Senator Bartos fighting Its, postponement. Tho bill provided a heavy fine for any Insurance com pany or agent who Bpiead falso re ports about any other Insurance com pany. Senator Bartos cited the fact, that In tho Unp companies alone on life Insurance pollcleB in Nebraska, $20,000,000 in policies wns allowed to. lapse last year, and he asserted that it was duo to these falso statements'. Wilson on Guaranty Bill. Victor Wilson, who contributed probnbly the greater portion of tho guaranty bill haB tills to say of tho' measure: "But altogether it was ad mitted that tho bill does that which the promise was given that It would do It guaranteesabsolutely to every, man, woman and child who has a dol lar deposited In ono of the banks chartered under tho Nebraska laws) that neither dishonesty or lack of) management on the part of bankers',! nor tho terrors of a financial crista' shall deprive them from having that; money returned to them. It makes their money In tho bank more secure! than in tho old sock or the ten pat or cigar box." Chance for Saloons at Crook. The Gntea bill, repealing the law prohtbltng the operation of a saloon! within two and a half mlleB of Fort Crook, wbb recommended to pass by the senate In committee of the whole.' Nineteen senators voted for the bill' on viva voce vote, no roll call being taken. Efforts were made by Sena tor Ransom to amend the bill to some extent but he was not successful In tills. County Option Defeated. Tho question of supplementing the present local option provision of the Slocum law with a systom of option by counties was definitely disposed of in the sennto when that body In com mittee of tho whole by a vote of 17 to 10, ordered tho bill Indefinitely postponed. The notion of tho senate does not necesBnrlly end tho county option agitation of the session, ns a second bill Is sttll pending on the, house general file. Just as It was; known for dnys that a majority of the' senate was arrayod against tho bill, It Ib known absolutely In the house that tho bill there cannot muster more than forty-ono or forty-two" votes. It Is likely, however, that action will be forced on tho bill for tho purpose of getting the members definitely on record on tho proposi tion. Anti-Treat Bill Again. Tho Groves anti-trust treat bill re fused to stay dead after having onco been killed, and tho house had to re peat the operation of execution. The bill wus defeated on'third reading by a voto of 44 to 49. Th,e attempt to restore life to It camo with a motion by Humphrey of Lancaster to recon sider tho action. Tho motion wns lost. A Rancon Bill Recalled. On motion of Sonntor Ransom himself, one of his bills which has already passed tho senate was re called from tho house, for amend ment. Tho bill as Introduced, 'pro vlded for tho Investment of state school funds In tho bonds of metro politan cities. In the committee it was" amended to lncludo bonds of cities, villages and irrigation and drnlnago districts. Senator Kllng brought up tho mntter, saying that after Investigating, ho was sorry that he had voted as ho did, because ho found that bonds of Irrigation and drnlnago districts wero often way be low par, and did not think tho school fund should bo Invested In them. Sen ator Ransom agreed and tho bill wns recalled for discussion, i Senate Sifting Commltee. Tho sennto committee on commit tees met nnd appointed tho following members of tho sifting committee: Dlera of York, chairman; OUIs of Valley, Tlbbota of Adams, Volpp of Dodge, Tanner of Douglas, Buck of Otoe and MJllor of Lancaster.
