Speaker Jackson Has Plan for Hold

Western Newspaper Union News Servlc.
Lincoln. If the treasurers of Doug
las anil Lancaster counties would only
remit the money due tho state general
fund warrants would not havo to go to
discount. Tho sum duo from both of
them amounts to $42,000.
If they would remit this month and
every month from now on as the
statute plainly contemplates m delega
tion of certain power to tho state
treasure! tho stato would stand a
pretty good show of keeping its war
rants from being discounted and from
running from sixty to ninety days ut
4 per cent interest.
This is the position taken now by
Stuto Treasurer Hall, who finds that
theBC two big counties of the stato and
thirteen other counties aro still dis
obeying his orders.
The battle between stato and county
officials who nre hanging out bas
aroused considerable interoat over the:
state. County treasurers without num
ber, ns well ns sovcral former holders
of that office, havo taken tho position
thnt the state officer is asking nothing
unjust when he seeks to obtain month
ly remittances.
Consolidation Bill Goes
All three of the consolidation bills
backed by tho finance committee of
the house were approved Is commit
tee of tho whole and sont to third
reading. The bill combining tho stal
lion registration bureau with tho live
stock sanitary board went through
easily enough, as this eoawolldatlon
has already taken placo vnder tho di
rection of Governor lforehead. The
other two, however, ran p against
some stiff opposition. When the bill,
to mergo the fire commission with the
labor commissioner's office was taken
up, Broome of Box Butte moved to in
definitely postpono it Messrs. Broome.
Lanlgan, Hostctler and Mockett made
speeches against the bin. Thoy
claimed that tho fire commission is
now on an efficient basis and that if
placed under the labor commissioner
it would not receive proper attention.

There will be no exodus of mem
bers of the legislature from Lincoln
after tho sixty days' sitting has boon
completed, until the final adjournment
of both branches, if Speaker Jackson
and house leaders havo their way. The
speaker thinks ho hns fonnd a method
which will keep practically all tho
members at their desks "until tho last
dog Is hung," instead of having them
drop out by twos, threes and half doz
ens until only a baro handful Is left at
the wlndup, ns in former sessions.
Speaker Jnckson announced Satur
day aftornoon that ho would ask for
another caucus of house democrats in
order to secure a pledgo from overy
majority member to stay and see the
work of tho legislature finished. If
such pledges are not given, tho speak
er will refuso to sign tho warrants of
members for the third and last Install
ment of their pay. amounting to $200,
until the day of adjournment.
