Farmers Union and Farm
Bureau Officers Unite in
Letter Urging Bovine
Tuberculosis Eradication.
Sppcial Diapatrli to The Omaha Rre.
Lincoln, April 2».—J. O. Shroyer,
prominent democrat and representa
tive of the Farmers anion, and H. D.
Lute, secretary of the Nebraska Farm
bureau, joined tonight in writing an
open letter to (lovernur Charles \V.
Rryun, scoring the chief executive on
liis stand against eradication of bovine
tuberculosis. Kxeerpts from their let
ter follows: ,
"Your charge that farmers are not
in favor of an effertive method of
eradicating bovine tuberculosis la re
futed hy action favorable to this
move taken by the two largest farm
organizations in Nebraska, the Farm
ers union and the Farm bureau.
"It is true that purebred breeders
benefit by having their herds disease
free, but it is still more true that the
average farmer, and there are 120.000
of them in the state, also needs and
desires to have his herd tuberculosis
free as an economic measure.
"Under the provisions of the new
hill, the smallest owner as well as the
largest will have his cattle tested the
county over upon petition of 51 per
< ent of farmers of the county.
“Your attempt to make this a po
litical issue hy lambasting the demo
■ rats, who are standing out for the
farmers' cause, will, no doubt, be vig
orously resented by all who have the
interests of the public at heart, re
gardless of party lines."
Elihu Root Supports
World Court Proposal
(Continued From Page One.)
court, the decision of the question
whether facts exist to justify it in
war upon defensive grounds, will be
deemed a confirmation of guilt, and
I look forward to the time when the
universal opinion of civilization hav
ing such a clear and certain basis for
the formation of judgment will visit
upon the aggressor Its swift and
heavy condemnation against which up
nation may prevail.
"The question presented by the
presidents message is really only a
question of moral support. The
amount of contribution towards the
support of the court to be determined
by our own congress would be neg
ligible. We undertake to do nothing
and to give nobody authority or
power to do anything to us. The
question is merely whether we shall
give our moral approval to the estab
lishment of the same kind of court
which our government has been urg
ing for a generation. It is less than
three years since both political parties
In the United States practically agreed
upon the American attitude, expressed
by one of those parties in its platform
in these words: ‘. . . stands for!
agreement among the nations to pre- j
serve the peace of the world. We|
believe that such an international i
association must be based upon inter- i
national justice and must provide
methods which shall maintain the rule
of public right by the development of
law and the decision of impartial
courts.’
"Since that time the only proposal
of any practical stop toward giving
effect to the belief expressed in the
word* which I have just quoted is
the proposal contained in this mes
sage of the president. No one has
proposed any alternative method to
give effect to that belief.”

Quick Quaker cooks in from 3 to

No other cwt flakes on the market
cook anywhere near so quickly.
The two styles are identical it*
quality and flavor. Both are flaked
from the finest grains only—just the
rich, plump, flavory oats. A bushel
of choice oats yields but ten pounds
of these delicious flakes.
But in Quick Quaker the oats are
cut before flaking. They are rolled
very thin and partly cooked. So the
flakes are smaller and thinner—that

cook quickly.
Ask for Quick Quaker if you want
this style. Your grocer has both.

Eclectic Bill
Killed in Senate
by 26 to 6 Vote
Passage of Measure Would
Infringe on Regents Duties,
Committee Holds—No
New Chairs Requested.
Special Dispatch In Tlic Ormtlm lice.
Lincoln, April 26.—By a vote of 26
to 6 the Nebraska senate killed H R.
628. the eclectic bill, requiring the
University of Nebraska regents to
add courses in the homeopathic, ec
lectic and therapeutic schools at the
college of medicine.
The action of the educational com
mittee In reporting the hill for Indefi
nite postponement was defended by |
Anderson of Lancaster, who said such
legislation would infringe upon the
regents’ duty. No additional chairs I
have been requested of that body for
four years, he said. Only one other
state school, Michigan, had such a
course, and Michigan is discontinu
ing it.
Sturdevant defended the measure,
insisting that Nebraska students:
should have the privilege of taking up
whatever branch of medical practice
they choose. Students now have to
go to Massachusetts to attend an ec
lectio school, he said.
The senate advanced H. R. 333, the
Osterman bill, known as the pitiless
publicity . measure. The Osterman
measure Reeks to secure more open j

partment. The measure is an addi
tion and does not repeal the present j
laws.
H. R. 451 was passed In the senate ;

Lincoln, April 26.— Refusal of house
leaders to comply with the request of
R. R. Howell to pull senate file No.
24 back for specific amendment re
suited today In the death of the bill.
Mr. Howell arrived in Lincoln last
night and expressed a willingness to
have municipally owned plants pay
their proportionate share of state and
county taxes, but insisted payment of
city taxes was unfair in that the city
owned the property and that it might
result in an increase in water, gas
and ice rates.
Senator M. F. Rickard, introducer
of the hill, agreed with Mr. Howell
after the latter explained the proposi
tion and attempted this morning to
persuade house leaders to pull the bill
back for amendment. House leaders
refused and brought the bill up for
third reading. It lacked five votes of
the necessary 60 per cent required
for passage of bills calling for the
submission of a constitutional amend
ment to the voters.

Tuberculosis
Bill Is Passed
by Lower House
Nine Democrats, Stung by In
sinuations of Governor
Bryan, Joins Republicans
in Passing Measure,
Special l>i,patch to The Omaha Hoc.
Lincoln, April 26.—Nine democrat?,
stung by insinuations made in a pub
lic statement yesterday by Governor
Bryan, that members of the demo
cratic party who differed from him
on the tuberculosis eradication bill
were ruled by packers, joirted repub
licans and passed the $285,000 appro
priation bill for eradication of bovine
tuberculosis through the lower house.
There were 61 votes cast In favor
of the bill, one more than necessary.
It took 60 per cent of the member
ship to pass the bill, as the appropria
tion was not recommended by the
governor. Immediately after the bill
passed the house, it was hurried to
the senate and sent to committee
there. It Is probable action will be
taken on it by the senate tomorrow,
and the hill will go to the governor
for signature or veto Friday,
House Has Two Chances.
If the hill is vetoed by the governor
and the house fails to muster the 6T,
or two-thirds, votes necessary to
override his veto, the house has the
blanket appropriation bill to fall back
on. This bill, as passed by the sen
ate, carries the *'.,85.0t)0 appropria
tion for eradication of bovine tuber
culosis.
Representative Theodore Osterman
of Merrick county, democrat, elected
to five consecutive sessions of the
legislature, who is one of the men
the governor branded as a "tool of
the packers,'’ because he differed
from hltn on the merits of attempting
to eradicate bovine tuberculosis, is
sued the following statement in reply:
Reply to Bryan.
"With all due respect for Governor
Bryan. 1 must say that he is cer
tainly laboring under a misconception
in regard to provisions of the tuber
culosis bill.
"As to the bill favoring the pack
ers, the truth of the matter is that
said packers can't get their fingers
on one single penny of the approp
priation.’’
Other democrats, who joined Osier
man in voting independently of the
Bryan edict by supporting the appro
priation, are: Kemper, Broome, John
son, Ottoman. Yochutn of Otoe, Davis
of Fillmore, O'Gara, Bock. Repub
licans who joined democrats in voting
against the appropriation are Strch

Howell Wins Fight
On Utilities Bill
Dtupsti h |o 'I lie (Inmhit Hee.
Lincoln, April —Senator Ft. Ft.
Howell succeeded today in getting
sufficient members of the senate to
pass a resolution calling on the house
to return H. R. 598 for further con
sideration. The senate killed the bill
a few days ago and sent a report of
the death, together with the bill, back
to the house. The house, with only
10 dissenting votes, acceded to the
senate’s request.
House roll 598 Is an Osterman bill
which makes it impossible for the
state railway commission to fix any
rate excepting the maximum rate for
service furnished by public utilities
The argument in favor of the bill
is to the effect that competition of
railroads. Intrastate telephone and
telegraph companies is impossible un
der the existing law which states
that the nmxlmum rate is also the
minimum rate.
