The Right to Enter.
Tho house recommended ror pass
age a bill which has nlrcady passed
the senate which gives to an ngent or
tho stnte the right to enter nny dwel
ling ir ho believes a dependent child
or the state Is secreted or detained
there.
The ngent Is given -power to
rorclbly enter tho house and If the
owner thereof offers any objections he
Is guilty of a misdemeanor.
This great authority Is given to nn
agent of the state In S. F. 350, by Mil
ler of Lancaster, which provides that
tho governor shall appoint a commis
sion or three persons to have charge
of a school for dependent children to
be conducted at the Home for the
Friendless. This board or commis
sion shnll havo completo chaigo of
the- school and shnll have power to ap
point nn agent at $1,500 n yenr to look
nfter the children. If a member o
the school runs nway and this ngen
has reason to believe that he Is being
detained or Ib concenled In nny house
he mny forcibly enter nnd make a
search.
Building for School for Deaf.
The senate finance committee de
cided to recommend for favorable ac
tion the bills appropriating $30,000 for
a new building at the institute for tho
denf and dumb nt Omaha, and $18,000
for completion and furnishings of
buildings nt the Norfolk asylum.
Tho sennto amended Smith's pure
food bill, as it came from the house,
so that under It now only packages of
confectionery, fish products and other
smnll articles are exempt from the
law that requires the stamping of tile
weight or tho measure and the con
tents on each package, and all other
packages have to be Btamped.
The Smith bill as originally Intro
duced provided for tho bleaching or
flour, and In the house nn amendment
was Introduced to strike out tho pres
ent law, requiring tho contents,
weight or measuro to be stamped on
every package,. and tho nntlonnl law,
providing that if tho weight or meas
ure should bo put on the puckage It
must be correct was Inserted in Its
plnce. .
Senate King's amendment ns in
troduced provides that all packages
that are to bo sold In Nebraska, con
taining dairy products, meat, wheat,
oats or corn products, molnsses sugar,
syrup, tea, coffee or fruit, must bo
stamped with tho correct weight or
measure.
Senntors King nnd Wiltse argued
that the peoples should know the exact
weight of every package,, that the law
was saving them several millions or
dollars, and that u corporation wanted
the present law repealed, hence It
should not be done.
Senators Tlbbets, Ransom, Howell
nnd Banning replied that becnuso of
tho shrinkage, It was difficult to fix
the exact weight, that, tho peoplo
know the quantity of goods thnt ench
pnek'ago contained, and didn't care
how much It weighed, and so It wns
their own fault If they wore cheated;
that this would not help tho consum
er but would offer Impediments to
business, thnt tho packers wrapped
hams nnd bacon In summer to prevent
pollution by Insects and they would
be Inclined to do nwny with this
practlco If required to stamp all, when
tho meat was subject to shrinkage.
Tho amendment which wns carried
by a vote of 21 to 11, also contained
a irolslou thnt this should not apply
to any goods In tho hands of retailors
at tho time of tho tnklng effect of this
net.
For Occupation Tax.
Whatever figure appropriations total
this session, nfter tho houso nnd son
nte havo settled their differences, tho
legislatures will provide for meeting
some of them by a now form of In
creasing rovenuo of tho stnte. This
incrcnso Is provided for In a bill for
levying nn occupation tax upon nil
corporations, foreign or domestic,
which do business within tho stnto.
While the amount to bo assessed
against any Individual corporation is
comparatively smnll, tho total revenuo
will bo $150,000.
