The end of the present session of the state legislature is not now very far away. Already there Is talk of agreement between the two branches on a day on which to adjourn, and it is believed that within a fortnight the labors of the members will be ended and the session adjourned with out day. J Taken as a whole, the session has been a good one In more ways than one. There has been very little partisan spirit displayed, the members of both political parties working In a fair degree of accord to accomplish good for the people whom they represent. It was while the state-wide primary bill was under discussion the past week that veal partisan' talk was In dulged in, and this came over the ....... i nn n ... - n i i primary the desire of some repub licans to bo frame the law as to pre clude fusion leading the opposition to engage In some very strong remarks. The house had voted for an open pri mary, which would eliminate any chance of fusion, but the senate, when the bill was before it for concurrence, refused to agree to this, and adopted the closed ; provision, the five' fusion senators Insisting upon the elimina tion of the amendment that prevented fusion or made It unlawful for a can didate to be deslngnated upon the pri mary tickets as the candidate of more than one political party. This pro vision was stricken out. Phillips of Holt, who was In the chair In the committee of the whole. decided to tie vote on this proposition by voting to strike It out. A majority of the senate did not care to prevent the fuslonists from fusing at the pri martes, as they have a right to do at the general election according to the-' statute defining the form of- the of ficial ballot. As amended by the senate the pri mary law differs very little from the original bill as introduced in . the house. It does not contain, the rotary form of the ballot, except as to Doug las county, nor does it permit any one to vote who Is not willing to state his party affiliation or Intended party af filiation. The number of petitions nec essary to place a candidate's name on the ballot is reaucea to iwemy-nve ami the filing fees are reduced to $50 for United States senators, $10 for state candidates and..- $5 for county candi dates. The house is expected to con cur in the changes made by the sen ate, although while the senate had the bill under consideration McMulIen of the house was pressing a motion to recall the bill for specific amendment. His motion was taken by many as a move to delay the bill and it was voted down. Harrison's Appointment. ' The appointment of Frank. A Har rison as deputy clerk of the Lincoln division of the federal court will please -a large number of the editors of the state who have been alde.d by him In substantial ways for many years. The appointment is important to Lincoln because the location of a clerk here to give his entire time to the work shows that this is to be an Important federal court city. With a judge, a deputy clerk and a deputy marshal residing here, and records available at all times, business in the federal court can be transacted here Just as well as in Omaha. Will Continue Experiments. Congressman Pollard has made ar rangements with the agricultural de partment to continue the demonstra tion work in spraying fruit trees in the First district that was begun last year amples ' of sprayed and un sprayed fruit were shown at the state fair last fall which clearly proved the value of this work. The following or- chardists will co-operate with the de partment in the several counties: Michael Meliza, .Verdon ; Albert Steak, Burchard ; Horace Shafer, South - Aa burn; Ira E Atkinson, Havelock; Nel son Overton, Nebraska City. Experi ments will also be carried on in the development of an Improved variety of corn and also in developing a va riety of both wheat and oats that will give a better yield and be rust re sistant. . Still other experiments will be made wlnth forage crops, summer and winter barley. The former is said to be simlnllar to alfalfa. struct the entire board to his liking. It is believed that he desires to have a new deal 'in Omaha fire and police affairs and that he is waiting for a clear field. For this reason no ap pointments were made and it is not known when he will name the new members Too Busy to Appoint. Now and then the question is askefPj why Governor Sheldon doesn't make some appointments. He hasn't busied himself about such matters because it takes all of his time and strength to keep abreast of the work of the legis lature. lt is his plan ' to study every, bill before attaching his signature. To leave the matter of appointments, to the period of comparative leisure fol lowing the adjournment is a piece of statesmanship, and the new governor Intends to take his time and get the right kind of material Terminal Taxation Bill. The terminal taxation bill is fast nearing the desk' of Governor Sheldon, The. senate adopted the report of a conference committee and the house took up the same report and acted The conference committee made little change in the house amendments. The bill is' S. F. No. 261, by Thomas of Douglas. As amended by the house and the conference committee it pro vides that local assessors shall return to the state board the value of local tangible property of railroads. The Btate board will then value the rolling stock and the intangible "property, in cluding the franchise .value, and dis tribute this to cities and villages un der the unit system so that each city and village will get the value per mile In accordance with the mileage within the corporate limits. Thomas of Douglas, the author of the terminal tax bill, was feeling good over the fact that what might have proved a fatal defect in the bill was discovered in time. The "mistake" was corrected by the conference com mittee by merely prefixing two letters to the word "tangible," making it read "Intangible." The joker was found con cealed in an amendment attached In the house. The manner iA" which it was adopted by that body It would re- Governor Is Waiting. Two members of the Omaha fire and police board have resigned, the term of a third has expired and the gov error Is said to be .waiting for the fourth to resign, so that he can recon- suit in double taxation upon taxable property and would permit intangible property or franchise values to go un taxed. The binll is being engrossed in prep aration for the governor's signature. State Appropriation. The important question of appropri ations for the biennium is now oc cupying the attention of the legisla ture. The amounts asked exceed the appropriation of two years ago. While requests for larger expenditures should be scrutinized closely, it does not fol low that the allowance of larger sums is extravagance in every case. Ne braska has grown rapidly in the past five years and the demands of state in stitutions have legitimately increased. The state owes a duty to property care for its institutions, and it is financially able to discharge that duty. It is true that there is an existing statute that limits the levy for the state general fund, and the argument is used that the appropriations must not exceed this limit. The legislature erected this barrier and the legislature can remove it. If the limit imposed by statute is inadequate, to meet existing demands, the statute can be amended. The estimate of expenditures of a for mer legislature is not necessarily a true guide. It may be too high; it may be too low. Appropritions should be considered on the merits. Whatever is needed for adequate support should be given no more and no less. Be cause the state has prospered and is financially ableto discharge its obli gations is not a reason for expending money uselessly. It Is a reason for supplying legitimate demands! , t House For Terminal Taxation. Friday the house, by a vote of 56 to 40, passed the senate terminal tax bill with amendments that will have to go back to the senate. The senate judi ciary committee has prepared amend ments to the house direct primary bill which are yet to be acted upon by the senate and sent back to the house. A joint committee has agreed upon amendments to the anti-pass bill, one of the party platform measures that has caused disagreement between the two legislative branches. The em ployers' liability bill and the two-cent rate bill have been signed by the gov ernor and the latter Is in force. Both houses agreed on the conference com mittee report on the railway commis sion bill, an act to empower the state railway commissioners to control and regulate railroads and other common carriers and the bill is being . enroll ed to be sent to Governor Sheldon for his legislature. A pure food bill has been passed by the senate and is In the house. The senate has passed a commodity maximum rate giving the railway commission power to increase or lower rates and the bill ' bids fair to be well received in the house as supplemental and temporary legisla tion to give relief from high rates un til the railway commission can inves tigate and make orders of Its own. The principal work yet to be accom plished is the consideration of appro priation bills. Not one of the bills has reached the sen-ate and only the salary appropriation bill has passed the house. That body has been charg ed with being unduly liberal in the ex penditures of state funds and it is like ly that the senate will reduce some of the items or cut many ..entirely out. Delinquent Voters Bill Dead. The senate by a vote of 12 to 17 killed Fries' bill providing for a tax of $3 on delinquent voters. The bill caused a deadlock in committee of the whole, but finally won out by a mar gin of one vote. When it came up for passage enough senators had flopped to the negative to make a majority against it. Most of them explained they believed the measure unconsti tutional. It provided for a tax of $3 on voters to be remitted if they voted. Defeat of Sleeping Car Bill. The defeat of the Thomas bill, S. F. No. 409, to reduce the rates charged by sleeping car companies in this state, was one of the features of the session. Aldrich of Butler moved to recommit the bill to the committee of the whole for specific amendment so as to permit the railroad commission to control rates as well as the running of sleeping cars on trains. Clarke of Adams moved to table the whole mat ter, which would have carried with it the original bill. King of Polk spoke in opposition to the motion to table. It was defeated by a vote of 6 to 22. Bills That Are Stranded. The psysical connection telephone eral file by the sifting committee. The senate killed the Thomas bill, cutting fares on sleeping cars rates and the house sifting committee immediately afterward advanced the house sleeping car bill to the sifting file, together with the bill cutting express rates. Senator Aldrich's bill cutting freight rates on the principal Nebraska com modities fifteen per cent was also ad vanced by the house sifting committee. TO DISCUSS STATES' RATES. The Railway Commissioners to Confer With Southwestern Shippers. The Kansas board .of railroad com missioners will meet in, Wichita this week with the representatives of the grain shipping interests of Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas. At this meeting the question of interstate rates and service will be discussed and the grain men and commissioners will 'de cide on reforms in Western transpor- i tation matters which will be brought to the attention of the interstate com merce commission when it meets in Topeka, April 8. The commissioners .have decided to intervene in the coal rate case brought by the commercial clubs of Ford, Finney, Gray and Kear ney counties as the Kansas Farmers and Business Men's league. This case involves the rates on coal from the Colorado and Wyoming, mines, the sources for most of the coal used in Western Kansas. The complaint of the brick manufacturers oh account of the car shortage has 'bete'n" set for' hear ing in Cherry vale, March 28. . For Junction City's Library. The board of directors, of the George Smith Public Ljbrary of Junction City, Kas., have awarded the contract for the construction of the library, building: to the firm " of Ziegler & Ziegler ' of Junction City. The building will cost $32,000. V , The building of the public library, the furniture, books and everything complete were provided for In, the will of v the " late : Geotge" Smith; , who shot and killed himself here - in January 1904. He was a bachelor and . left to the city an estate worth "more than $60,000, his will specifying that it be used for a public library. He held a site in the business center of the city for this purpose. V " Ryan-Named Wr Mayor. W. H. Ryan, state' chairman of the Sirard, Kas., Democratic Committee, has been nominated in a mass conven toin for mayor of Girard on a law en forcement platform. Ryan addressed the convention. He said : t "I am not a Prohlbitioniist; how ever, I believe in the enforcement of all laws, and I believe the majority of the people of this state does. , You elect a council that will conrfim the man I name for marshal and if elected I will enforce the law. I have always advocated independence in city elec tions. ''.". FOUR OUT OF A KANSAS JAIL. Friends of Holton Prisoners Smuggled . a File to Them. Three burglars and a horse theif es caped from the county jail at Holton, ' Kas. They sawed out of their cell in-, to the corridor and when the jailer, Samuel Lee, entered at 8 o'clock on his tour of inspection .he was bound and gagged. Lee freed; himself and gave the alarm. , The sheriff and the marshal organised' posses and began a search. The escaped prisoners are Miner and Hale Smith, charged1 With robbing the Pacific Express office at Holton, "Abe" Barker, charged with horse stealing, and C. Thomas, chai ned with robbing two HOlton houses.
