The fertilizer filibuster threw both
senate and house into a nasty humor
and there were bitter clashes in both.
House leaders were charged with
tyranny aiul senators quarreled over

For more than 100 members this 1

to present a large chest of silver to
Representative Mondell of Wyoming,
retiring republican floor leader.
During the day the administration
proposal for American representation
on the world court was definitely
laid to rest until the new congress
convenes next December. The senate
voted, 49 to 34, against” proceeding

against its consideration and three

Nebraska Complete Plans
for Return-’ to State.
Washington. March 3.—(Special.)—
Representative Albert Jefferis of
Omaha will return the first of next
week, to Omaha. He will immediate
ly resume the practice of law. John
It. Shanahan, his secretary, will# re
main in Washington, getting the of
fice work of Representative-elect
Sears started.
Representative Humphreys will go
to Oklahoma to visit his son after
which he nail take a brief trip through

Representatives Andrews, Evans
and Thorpe plan to return to Ne
braska within a few days following
adfournment.

tary, will remain with Representative

He is exempt. His estate is exempt.
Ilia heirs are exempt. What risks
there are are taken to the extent of
$10,000,000. Ilia liability is llrpited by
the familiar instrument of a corpora- j
tion provided by our laws for the pur
pose of avoiding extension of personal
liability.
l ertlizer .Scheme Questioned.
"However, ip spite of Mr. Madden's
assumption, the obligation upon Mr.
Ford's company to make fertilizer Is
expressed in terms raising grave doubt 1
as to their binding character.
"Mr. Ford's personal liability in the
Muscle Shoals proposal, if any is in
volved, is limited by the device of caus
ing the agreement to be made by a |
subsidiary corporation of limited cap
ital. More over, the language o fthe j
final offer repecting fertilizer is much ,
as at least to throw a grove doubt
upon it binding character. ,
It should be noted in tlie first place j
that the sole obligation of the com- j
■pany is contained in the fertilizer sec
tion. Mr. Ford's company docs not
even purport to promise anything j
else. Vast power resources are turned '
over to the company practically
forever, without compensation, but
Mr. Ford makes no undertaking to
use these enormous power resources
for any public purpose whatever. Nor
does his company. Tire power re
sources are to be exploited unreser
vedly for the private use of Mr. Ford
and his company. The public has no
reservation of use: Mr. Ford has no
restriction of profit. He does not
have to furnish power for puMic
service. lie does not have to share
his profits with the public. In short,
all the rest of the contract is for Mr.
Ford.”

Scottsbluff Appeals
for School Budget
Scottsbluff, Neb., March 3 —fSp*'
cial.)—The regents of Nebraska Uni
versity have deliberately planned to
kill the school of irrigation at Scots
bluff since its Inception, according
to the belief of the Chamber of Com
pierce of this city In resolutions
adopted eppealing to Governor Bryan
and the legislatuie for "necessary
protection for said school and to deal
out justice to the western end of the
state by providing the necessary ap
propriation" to give the school con
tinued life and to enlarge its courses
of study.
The resolutions point out that the
school is the only one of its kind:
that the million acres of irrigated
land in Nebraska liave proved a
wonderful asset to the state by in
creasing tax funds and supplying
farm products, but that present ap
propriation bills before the legislature
carry no items to continue the school.
They say that "as It is now. the
school la provided with only the nar
rowest kind of a curriculum, making
it necessary for a person to secure
a well rounded out education to go to
other schools after having completed
the course here, and that the present
course is impracticable and insuf
ficient to give the necessary educa
tion for good citizenship."
