The resolu tion which was introduced in the house by Mr. Chapman of Saline county , now city editor of the Chicago Evening Post , Is as follows : "Whereas , By the unanimous con sent of this house , the Honorable Ad- dlson Wait of Otoc county was yes terday excused from attendance here on account of sickness. "Whereas , The telegraph this morn ing announced the result of that sick ness to bo lovely girl twin babies therefore be It "Resolved , That the house extend its enthusiastic congratulations to the distinguished gentleman from Otoc and his excellent wife and wish for the pair of very young ladies a happy future , and be It further "Resolved , That the freedom of the house be extended to the proud gentle man from Otoe for one full day upon his return to duty in which to cele brate this Important event In any manner he deems fitting and which may bo satisfactory to his follow mem bers.

EXTRA SESSION OFF. Governor Will Not Call Legislators Together. tov. ! Simllenberger has decided not to call an extra session of the Nebras ka legislature. He does not think the situation at present such as contemp lated by the constitution aa warrant for so doing. Ho says the bank guar anty bill has been enjoined by the federal court , which denies to the state the right to determine the terms under which persons may engage In the banking business , and the author ity of the slate to levy a tax to pro tect the depositor as an exercise oi' the police power. Until an opinion To rendered upon these points by the supreme court of the United States any action by the legislature to carry out the people's will for providing safer bank laws must wait upon the action of the su preme federal authority. The Okla homa banking law Is now before the supreme court of the United States and n decision as to its constitution ality will probably bo rendered in a short time. A finding upon the vital points In that case may also settle the matter as to the validity of the Nebraska statute , or so clarify the situation as to enable the legislature to frame a satisfactory guaranty law , founded upon the opinion of the high est court. Should such a situation oc cur and the conditions permit of the framing of a law in conformity with the court's decision and satisfactory to the people of Nebraska , the gover nor would not hesitate to call an ex tra session to pass such a statute and such other laws as deemed for the best interests of the people of the state. The governor said he found a strong sentim'ent In . . .ic east for a postal sav ings bank law , and that the prospects were that this congress would enact such a measure. A postal savings bank law will inevitably drain the money of the western states to the great financial centers of the east. He was convinced that a guaranty of deposits law that would keep the money of Nebraska in our own state , provide equal security to that afford ed by a postal bank law and keep Ne braska money available for Nebraska business men was a consummation very much to be desired. The Indorsement of the income tax amendment by Nebraska and other legislation of importance is not of such vital interest at this time that it cannot wait for action either by the next regular session or at an extra session to be convened should future developments , as indicated above , war rant the assembling of the legislature In extra session.
