In every instance , where legislation , hear ing on these items , has as yet come before the House , it has been summarily dealt with and prescribe the length of trains and the sixc of train crews. Clark of Richardson favored the amend ment and was opposed to Taylor's proposition for a ( hit fifty-car law , and asserted that the rail way operatives of the slate did not favor the law as supported by Taylor and desired other legis lation , the bills for which the railway men's organisations had drawn and placed in Clark's hands. This drew fire from Taylor , who launched into a scathing review of the attitude of Clark on measures of the char acter under debate. lie asserted that ClarVs course before the ways and means , railroads and judiciary committee had not been in line with what Clark had ad vocated when he was running for election , and broadly intimated that all of Clark's motives were questionable. Clark interrupted the speaker on a question of per sonal privilege , denied the imputations - , tations of Taylor , and in a burst of impassioned oratory character ized all that Taylor had said as a "d lie. " The House was immediately in an uproar and cries of "sit down" filled the chamber. The presid ing officer restored order and Tay lor continued , his only apology being to say that he had only been speaking of his observation of events and that if his observat ions were mistaken lie begged a hundred pardons. The incident practically closed with this and Taylor had the satisfaction of seeing his"contentions win over Clark's opposition , but the fact remains that the little outburst discloses a deep-seated division among the majority members of the House , which will not be ad justed during this session , and its influence on legislation will no doubt be seen in the final result which will show that legislation of real importance has been neg lected , while minor matters and personal ambitions for leadership have been fought out to the det riment of the people. NO ANII-l.lllNKI.I. ( , ) < ilSI AI ION. Neither house of the legisla ture has so far vhown any dispos ition to favorably consider pro posed legislation for the restric tion of the liquor traflic in any extinguished. During the week , the Senate killed Miller's con stitutional amendment providing women with the ballot on the same terms as men and then went farther and also killed Randall's bill to give women the ballot in mu nicipal alTairs and school election. It has been asserted and nol de nied , and in support of the as sertion , a senator , himself a mem ber of the Constitutional Amend ments committee of the Senate , has been quoted as admitting that the Constitutional Amend ments committee had been select ed for the purpose of heading off and killing all anti liquor legis lation and all that relating to the extension of the suffrage to wom en. Under these circumstances , the chances for progrcssive'lcgis- lation along either of the lines named seem very sm.all indeed , and , should anything of this char acter , by the mccrcst chance , uass in the House , it would apparently with certainty receive its death blow in the Senate. CORPORATIONS PAY STAFF : IA\ . Senators Ollis and Miller have introduced a bill which presents a new idea of taxation in Ne braska. It proposes a constitut ional amendment which will per mit the raising of all taxes for slate purposes by levies applying exclusively to the corporations of the state. This result will be ar rived at by the classification of propcity by kind and character instead of by valuation as here tofore. It is not to be presumed that the railway corpotalions will look with favor on this legisla tion. A good index of the dis position of the senate on corpor ation questions may be determin ed from its eventual treatment of this measure. It may be inler- esling for all the people to watch the course of this measure. TRIVIAL BILLS WI-HUEI ) OU T. Both houses of the legislature have begun to weed out the ap parently trivial proposals to en act new laws by the process of in definite postponement.

' " rirpprvipiiii'iyp'.piTyiri'yi my "y urcs were indefinitely postponed in the senate , and almost an equal number were similaily Itvatcd by the House. A good many new members come to their first ses sion with a desire to settle some neighborhood contentions by the enactment of a new law , or nil amendment of an existing statute. Thia leads to a multiplicity of trivial bills and about the third or fourth week ofThc session they begin to fall by the wayside from Ihc frost of indefinite postpone ment. I.CilSUIUIMAlOSI ( : EXPENSIVE ONE. The present legislature bids fair to be the most expensive ever held in the history of Nebraska by over one million dollars. With none of the big appropria tion bills yet in sighl bills ate be fore Ihc House calling for over one and one-half million dollars which added lo the lowest pos sible estimates for the general stale government , state instilul- ions , salaries , claims , deficiencies ) etc. , as represented in the regular appropriation bills , will run the total to a sum only a litlle short of five and one-quarter million dollars , The lolal appropria tions of the last legislature were a little more than four and a quarter millions , making the present outlook for spending state money about a million in excess of any previous record and this was to be an "economi cal" Democratic legislature and save the taxpayers money.
