Changes in Code Are Big Problem of the Legislature Judiciary Couimittee Soon Will Begin Consideration of Various Measures for Gov ernmental Reform. By P. C. POWELL. Stwff (orr eft pendent The Omaha Bee. Lincoln, Feb. 21.—(Special.) — Ne braska legislature is approaching the mating season. In other words, it must soon decide whether it shall accept the present form of state gov ernment, modified, or select several other styles proposed by the governor and others. All bills providing for changes in governmental form, are today in the house judiciary committee. T. B. Dysart, chairman of the Judiciary com mittee, announced that as soon as the Bryan companion bills, numbering 44, are printed, this committee would begin consideration of the various measures for governmental reform. Three Steps Evident. Members can see only three steps that may be taken. One would leave the civil administrative code exactly as It stands today, the other would be to accept the Bryan plan bodily, while the other would be to adopt the Dysart bill drawn up for the purpose of "re taining the good and cutting out the bad In the code law." The Dysa/1 bill eliminates as many activities of state government as the Bryan plan. It cuts out as many em ployes, it reduces code secretaries to three, it call* for a department «f per mit# and inspections, similar to the Bryan pla^ for a bureau of inspec tion*. However. It is expected that the Dv'sart plan will meet opposition from the governor and those he can rally around him because it give* the legis lature power to confirm gubernatorial appointments and continues to center responsibility in the governor.

Fight on Cape Cod Bill Has Marks of Filibuster Conference Report on Army Bill Used as Vehicle to De lay Action on Measure in House. Washington, Feb. 21.—A movement having all the ear marks of a fili buster directed against tbe bill pro posing government purchase of the Cape Cod canal developed late today In the house. The vehicle used by the obstructionists was the conference re port on the army appropriation bill, which was under consideration The offer of Henry Ford for fh« Muscle Shoals, (Ala.) plant, was also understood to figure in tjie back ground of the movement, which was in full swing on both the democratic side and in gome republican delega tions from western states.
