Gandy's Bill Considered.
Gnndj's bill regulating the prac
tice of 'medicine in the state was rec
ommended for passage by the commit
tee. The measure provides that "any
person of good moral character .over
twenty-one years of age, having com
I letod a two years couise of study In

s. ild practice for a period of two jearo
shall lie competent to twelve certlll
cafes from the state board of these
sciences, same to be appointed by tho

eis of said kinds of healing."
WES. PICKINS
Powell, Nebraska
Senator Twenty-third District.
Governor's Maintenance.
The house started to play a Ilttlo
politics when the general maintenance
bill was up for consideration nnd tho
item for tho board of governor's ser
vants and Immediate family was being
discussed. Ten democrats voted with
the republicans to retnln the item in
the bill, although this Is the first time
such an Item hns ever appeared In a
genernl maintenance bill.
Plenty of Work Left.
Just what will bo done nbout a sift
ing committee In the house is n mnttor
of conjecture. Most of the members
who have been heard to express them
selves about it bellevo it Is still too
early to begin operation under the con
trol of this committee. In fact, u sift
ing committee will not be appointed
until it is ubsolutely necessury, or un
til a mnjorlty of members givo up
hopes of reaching their bills In tho
general order of business.
The White Slave Bill.
Without indulging In debute and
without the slightest opposition tho
senate recommended for third rend
ing Senator Horton's bill prohibiting
and providing severe penalties for en
gnglng in tho "white slavo" traffic. A
procurer, under this bill Is liable on
a first conviction for n county Jail sen
tence from six months to n year or n
fine up to $1,000, nnd on n second of
fense a penltentlnry sentence of from
three to ten yenrs is provided.
Only Bill Recommended.
Tho Smith bill, tho one that so far
has met with the approval of tho
standing commltteo of tho house, elim
inates entirely tho ten year provisions
of tho present county sent law. Othor
wlso there Is no change between It
nnd tho present statute. It meets tho
exigencies of the occasion by leaving
the relocation open to 'all tho townn
in u county without favoring county
seats which now have the advnntago
of tho ten year clause.
Democratic Joint Caucus.
A short Joint caucus of tho houso
and 8cnnto democrats was held nt tho
Lincoln hotel. Reapportionment wns
tho main subject under discussion al
though other party pledges wero
talked over Informally. Tho possibili
ty of Instilling moro harmony Into tho
rest of tho leglslntlvo session was
touched upon in a casual way, nono of
tho speakers however evincing a de
sire to go nt the matter.
Talcott's Ventilation Bill.
Chief In importance among the bills
so far passed by tho senate was Tal
cott's bill providing for tho proper san
itation nnd ventilation of factories.

tial speech by moving that S. F. 2S5

a misdemeanor for any manufacturer

drinks containing saccharine or coal
tar sweetcncrR.
