Mrs. Thomas R. Jones, Omaha, vice 1 president of the League of Women Voters, and Mrs. Edward Johnson, former president of the Omaha Wo mans club, appeared with numerous exhibitors to oppose censorship.

Changes in Code Big "Legislative Problem (Continued From Puce One.) a cabinet and oblige this council to stand responsible for work done by appointees of the governor over whom the council has no Jurisdiction. There is little sentiment to keep the code on the statute books exactly as it stands today. The republicans, as aa whole, are as anxious to modify it as certain of the democrats are to repeal it. At this time, sentiment In republican ranks appenrs to be gen eral that the code. In principle, is right and that the divided responsi bility entailed In the Bryan plan to gether with the unprecedented ap pointive power would never give the people a clear insight as to who would he responsible gor government al blunders and “buck passing" now impossible under the centralized re sponsibility in the governor, would become prevalent. Appropriations Big Problem. Then, there i» a big problem facing the appropriations committee. It has the Bryan budget, It has the MecKel vie budget and it may have to pre pare an independent budget. It may he that the committee will make two or three separate sets of appropriations so ns to stand ready to trot out the appropriations bill which will fit. the form of government which the legislature decides to adopt and thus be ready for any eventuality. I,ast but not least, is a probability that Governor Jlryan will close his eyes to any proposition, without his label, veto any bill denying him the right to play hide and seek behind an executive council and continue to use his veto power until either the legis lature, the chief executive or the people become tired and disgusted.

M Two Deputies Escape Arrest for Lobbying Margin of Five Votes in Low er House Saves State Of ficers from Prose cution. Lincoln, Feb. 21.—(Special)—Two deputies in the office of John M. Matzen, state superintendent of schools, escaped arrest and prosecu tion for breaking the lobbying law by a margin of five votes this morn ing. Representative Dan Garber of Red Cloud introduced a resolution in the lower house charging that I. N. Clark and John Speedle, the dejuties in question, had been on the floor of the house for two hours this morning, buttonholing members and urging them to vote for house roll No. 49 which provides that high school tuition for country students should be paid by the county at large. Representative Garber further charged that this was diametrically opposed to the lobby law, which, in the first place, demanded that per sons working either for or against bills should register, and should con fine their remarks on the legislation to public addresses, newspaper articles and in no event should they appear on the floor of the house and work on behalf of their measures while the house is In session. Debate waxed hot. No one defend ed the action of the two men, hut it was declared that if they should be prosecuted and go to jail, there prob ably were 100 others in Lincoln, lob bying for various measures, who should receive the same treatment. A motion to lay the resolution on the table carried, 51 to 46. The maximum sentence for unlaw ful lobbying is one year in the penitentiary. Immediately after the flurry over the motion to place the two state : officers under arrest, the house be gan consideration of the bill on which | it was charged Clark and Speedie were lobbying. The measure was ad vanced to third reading by viva voce 1 vote. There was much opposition to i It by members coming from districts with strofig parochial schools. The bill as it stands eliminates tui tion charge from cities and towns I having high schools. Aims of Turks Are Told Omahans by New Yorker Col. W. G.
