Adjournment Taken Until To

Bryan Alleges Shortage
fcpeclal Dispatch to The Omaha Bee.
Lincoln, May L—Failure of the
house and senate to .agree on whether ■
the governor sjiould be given an ap*:
propriation of $60,000 for code secre-1
taries in the face of a certain veto of
the Mathers-Dysart bill, which pro-1
t ides for grouping state activities un
der constitutional officers, resulted in
a deadlock in the legislature tonight.
As a result both house and senate ad
journed until 9 in the morning in the
hope that conference committees
working on the discrimination rnignt
agree.
The house took the position that as
the Mathers-Dysart bill passed by j
both Dodies eliminated code secre
taries, an appropriation for payment
of something that should not exist !
was pot necessary. The senate con
tended inasmuch as Governor Bryan<
^►mourned the Mathers-Dysart bill
^vvould be vetoed as soon as it was eu*4
glossed and sent to him. that the gov
ernor should retain the code and
should* have money for salaries of sec
retaries.
Concur on Expense.
This one argument is nil that is
keeping the legislature from adjourn
ment. The house and senate both eon
curred. in all other items of biennial
expense by accepting the blanket ap
propriation bill and all other bills call
ing for expenditures.
All expenses of the coming biennium
as fixed by the joint house and senate
conference committee. Inclusive of
the $60,000 for code secretaries which
may l>e stricken out tomorrow, are $2,
067.380.83 less than for the last bien
nium and $1,603,689 less than expendi
tures recommended by Governor
Bryan in his budget. Following are
figures ;n full:
Expenditures for last biennium, in
cluding reductions of special session.
$23,939,319.27. Of this amount $18,
538,239.96 was raised by taxation and
$5,405,279.31 was raised from cash
funds snd fees collected.
Expenditures recommended by Gov- j
ernor' Bryan for the coming bien
nium. $21,872,138.41. Of this amount
$16,851,358.98 would have been raised
by taxation ami $3,020,379.46 from
gjpsh funds and fees collected.
Expenditures decided U|a>n by the
Jegudfuttre, $20,28.8,449.44 for cot "*»g
bler.nlum. Of this amount $13.1347.
489.98 will he raised by taxation and
$5,081,979.46 by cash and fees col
lected.
Bryan Gives Statement.
Governor Bryan at noon today call
ed newspaper men in his office and
made two announcements. One was
that he would veto the Mathera
nysart bill, and the other was his
early statment that there was a $1,
000,000 deficiency in the state treas
ury was true.
While members of the senate ex
pressed the opinion that If the gov
ernor believed this statement was
true he should have presented facts
and figures weeks ago to prove it. they
appointed a committee composed of
Wilkins. Robbins and Banning, to re
main after the session and go over
state finances thoroughly to discover
whether such a condition of affairs
really existed.
At the time the Governor first made
this statement a committee from the
house and senate was appointed to
investigate. The committees found
that Instead of deficiency existing In
the treasury ns th« governor claimed
there would be a balance on hand at
the end of the biennium, .fun" 30.
I rom the time the committee submit
ted this report until a few hours before
the legislature was to adjourn, the
governor never made any attempt to
(»'ftite! the committee's statement.

house and senate sang and played

ence committee to agree on. th" $60.
