THURSDAY , APltlL 4 , 1901 ,
Broken Bow lina for the third
time declared by popular veto
against licotiHo nnlootiH and the
liquor trntlio. The nmjority
is substantially as great an
year , yet the vote wns not taa large
ngaiiiHt an it wan last year , Count

buuu forty-live against. Last year
the vote against wan > I7.
Gov. Dietrich ban Hhown the part
ol witulout in deciding to vaoato the
ollioo of governor , that Lieut.-Gov.
Savage may occupy the gtiburna.
tlonal chair. Nothing short of that
would have satisfied the pubhu.
When Governor Diotrtnh was lion-
orod with the election by the leg
islature to the high pouition ef
United Slates Henutor , it met the
approval of a very largo claim of
those who made him governor.
But they would not have been sat-
idliod had he assumed to till the
'position ' of both governor and
Unitnd States senator and draw the
salaries of both. Gov. Savage by
law and by right is entitled to thu
position and it ) highly oompittant to
till the executive chair and ho
should have the place.
Gor. Dietrich bus Htirred up an
other hornet's nest in hiu vote of
.the appropriation of the salaries for
the nine supreme court anmmiaHion-
ers , their stenographers and Chief
Clerk Ilordnian. The veto oarrioH
with it appropriations of $80,000 ,
which he saves to the taxpayers of
the state. The governor urged the
legislature fo pass a bill requiring
the chief clerk of the supreme court
to turn into the treasury the fees of
his office , but they refused to pasa
the bill , and ho claims by their re
fusal it would have given the chief
clerk a salary for the two years of
$60,000. Chief Clerk Hordtnan
declares that ho will closothe doorB
of the state library and not attempt
to perform his duties , for which
the constitution limits Inn salary to
$1,500 a year. Bat as the appro
priation for the two court bailiffs
was not out off , one of them can
keep the library open and the state
eau net along without Mr. Herd-
man's service * . The governor's
inohssgo on the vote is as follows :
Lincoln , Nob. , April 1 , 1001.
To the Honorable Secretary of
State : I herewith deliver to you
house roll No. 430 , being an act to
provide for the payment of the sal
aries of-the officers of the state gov
ernment , etc. , iu which act I have
withheld my approval of and do
hereby veto the following appro
priatious ;
Uuder caption of "State Library , "
salary of clerk to the reporter per
annum , $1,000 , $2,000 ; salary of
deputy librarian per annum # 1)00 ,
for the biennium § 1,800.
My approval is withheld from the
foregoing appropriations because
the duties thereof rightfully devolve
upon the clerk and if he U unable
to perform them ho should bo re
quired to hare the work performed
without expense to the state.
Under the caption of "Supreme
Court , " in said bill , house roll No.
430 , my approval is withhold from
and the same is hereby vetoed , of
that portion which reads as follows :
Salary of nine commissioners each
per annum $25,000 , $45,000 ,
Salary of deputy clerk per annum -
num , $1,800 , $3,000.
Salary of deputy reporter per an-
uuiu $1,800 , $ .3,000.
Salary of assistant reporter per
annum $90C , $1.800.
Salary of supreme court oommie-
Bionera' stenographic asHistants aoh
per annum $1,000 , $18,000 *
Three assistants to reporter , $90C
per annum each , $5,400.
Through the exorcise of the vote
power in this instance my endeavor
HO far as it is within my power , is
to afford that relief to the taxpay
ers which the legislature , thotigl
earnestly importuned by mo , ne
glected so to do.
While the docket of the supreme
court is in a congested condition
and while the commission would no
doubt furnish some relief , atill il
would be a manifest injustice to
entail such an enormous expense on
the t-xpnyeru without affording
some sort of subHtantial relief.
In my vote I have stricken from
tlio list appropriations aggregating
more than $80,000. To intercept
tliiH Iprgu expenditure I have been
compelled to veto , not alone the
amount appropriated for the coin-
mission , but all Hums incident
thereto
It was plainly within the power
of the legislature , jta it wan its
duty , to afford relief both to the
court and to the tax payers , and no
doubt it would not have failed cu
signally had it not been for the
contaminating inlluynoo of barter * ,
tradcH and deals with a oorrup'ion
fund and Mn unscrupulous politician
as concomitants. The I'OIH , should
the commiHHion obtain , Would for
the next two yo'irs amount to at
least $00,000. It was my intention
when I urged the creation of a oom-
nmsiou in my inaugural rmiHsago
and when latterly 1 approved the
bill creating a commission , that tin1
legislature would require the pay
ment of the tees into the treasury.
On no other grounds would I have
countenanced any HIICI undertaking
That any ono officer of this state
should be permitted to put into bin
pocketH $50,000 in loon rightfully
belonging to tlio people or their
public treasury is monstrous. It ! H
Htraiigo too , that UIOKO flagrant
methods should be practiced ri ht
in the prononoe of the highest ju
dicial tribunal of this state and
that , too , without a word of protest
from said court. I can conceive of
nothing more iniquitous than the
proHUtiition of justioo bj public
officers chosen and sworn to protect
and adminiHter it. I am a firm be
liever in an elective judiciary and
while willing , on grounds equitable
to the taxpavors , to appoint a coin-
uiUsion , utill such an act might
iiavo been the very moans of delay
ing such constitutional remedies as
will afford uuflioiont and permanent
relief. At the session ] ust closed
.ho legislature considered and rejected
jectod a bill which provided for the
submission of a constitutional
amendment , though just such
itnondtnent is sorely needed.
Having exhausted every effort to
correct the abuses , oven going so
'ar as to have two bills drafted and
ntroducod which required the pay
ment of the fees into the state
roasury , only to have them rejected
> y a powerful lobb'y , the center
igurc of which was in the supreme
court clerk's office , I am conetraiuod
as a last resort to invoke a constitu
tional prerogativeone which should
rarely bo exorcised , but which juat
at this time seems to be the only
saving clause and the only means
> y which a monstrous public wrong
and injustice may be successfully
resisted.
I also return without my approv
al and the same is hereby vetoed ,
that appropriation in the act known
and designstod house roll No. 430 ,
uudor the caption of 'Institute for
Feeble Minded Youth , " at Beatrice
the following :
Salary of physician per annum
$1,200. $2,400.
My objection to this is that such
official and such appropriation cai.
bo dispensed with without detri
ment to the institution or injury to
the inmates. C 11. DIKTHICH ,

An tiiRtructirc Alfalfa Field.
It is well to know that alfalfa suc
ceeds in the alluvial valleys of the
state like those of the Plsttte , Re
publican and Beaver. Excellent
success has also been attained iu
growing alfalfa in the eastern port
ion of the state , notable in the fields
of the State Agricultural Farm at
Lincoln. It is not generally known
that alfalfa can be successfully
grown on rolling upland in the
central portion of the state , or on
lands that have usually boon considered -
sidored to dry to bo aafe for general
farm crops.
A notable illustration of what
can be douo on lauds of this
character is to bo found tive miles
west of Kearney. The U. D.
Wanton ranch has some 5 , 000 acres
of valley land of which nearly half
above the level of the Platte , whioh
was broken six years ago , re-plowed
diaced , and tinloy harrowed in
August with the thought of conserv
ing sumniqr moisture , roughly plow
ed ; n November and allowed to lie
rough for winter to catch the flur
ries of snow. In early spring this
field was thoroughly disced , pulver
ized , harrowed and made into a fine
seed bed , and in April at the propel
time for seeding WBU seeded to
alfalfa , drilling half the need each
way. Sufficient ot the rainfall of
the previous year and of the frost
moisture ot the preceding winter
had been conserved so that there
was enough moisture iu the toil to
rise to the surface and insure
prompt germination of the seed.
This Held has yielded fair crops
of alfalfa for five years in sue
cession. In the driest season ono
cutting and some grazing , and in
the more favorable years two cui-
IIII H. While the yield of nlfalf-i
from this dry hillside IH not nearly
HO largo as from the nub irrigated
vnlloyp , the amount of hay cut and
pnfl'urago ' secured has boon siilliciunt
to make it a profitable experiment.
This JH also intprosting as showing
what may be done with hundreds
of thousands of acres of nimilar
lands that have been thought to bo
useful only for the limited amount
of prairie grass grown thereon for
gra/.ing , It should be borne in
mind , however , that the "oil re
I or rod to is a yellowish clay loam
that holds moisture better than the
average western table land.

Coinstook Index
This session of the legislature
nettled ono quotation for all time in
Nebraska. Wo all favor the elec
tion of a United States senator by a
direct vote of the peoplo.
Residents of this section of Ne
braska will doubtless bo interested
iu the law which has been made
this session of the legislature , com-
mouly called the game law. By
the provisions ( it this act , it IH un
lawful to kill prairie chickens , ex
cept from October 1 to November
30 , quails cannot be killed except
during the month of Novouibei ,
and cannot bo killed at all until
1903. PersouH are _ allowed tc fish
from April 1 , to October 31. The
right to kill is in all canon limited
to a hufiioient supply for private
food purposes. The transportation
of game is forbidden at all seasons
of the year. Coyotes , skunks , and
rabbits may bo killed at any time of
the year. Not a single word is said
about prairie doga.

splendid shelter from the north

it to another use , by putting dowi
a well , erecting a windmill , making
a cistern , and excavating the baub
