went into committee of the whole to con
sider bills on the general file , with Pollard in
the chair. The committee of the whole pro

nothing in tlie measure differing from tlie
old law except , the provision prohibiting the

question. The bill was recommended for
passage and the house adjourned.

SAIiARY ArPROPKIATIONBirX.
House roll No. 473 , Introduced by Swyder of
Nemaha , is an act to provide for the salaries
of officers of tlie state government. It is en
tirely independent of the action of the com
mittee in charge of the appropriation bills.
It provides for an averaged reeffcetion all

srrr : sugar bill.
The liousc committee appointed to consider
ways and means for the encouragement of
the beet sugar industry , held an open meet
ing at the Lincoln hotel with a good attend
ance. Chairman Pollard explained in
general the committee's idea of drafting a
bill permitting the organization of districts
to vote bonds for sugar factories. The plan
being based upon tlie Wright irrigation law.
The plan seemed to meet with general ap
proval. Mr. Utt advanced the idea that
some restriction should be placed on the
number of factories which should be per
mitted under this law , for the first few years ,
pointing out tlie fact that if people became
too enthusiastic , factories would be erected
before a sufficient number of practical men
could be secured to operate them. It is prob
able that the ideas of the committee will bo
embodied in a bill and presented to the leg
islature within a few days.
SHORTAGE OF THE STATE AUDITOR.
Lincoln Dispatch to the Omaha Bee : The
bondsmen of ex-Auditor Eugene Moore held
another conference in the office of Attorney
Gen. Smyth. Willis E. Beed of Madison , who ,
with Attorney Harry Brome of Omaha , was
present at the conference. Mr. Beed said
that he anticipated that criminal proceed
ings would be commenced against his client.
He added that the attorney general might ,
however , decide to begin a civil suit for the
balance owing by Moore. $2000. Moore says
he has a one-third interest in a mine in Col
orado , for which lie would not take $100,000. It
now nets $1,500 a month and Moore Is ready
to pay $50(1 ( a month to the state on his in
debtedness.
Attorney Reed says that the law of 1S73
provided that these 'insurance fees should be
paid to the state auditor. The constitution
of la75 amended this law and made all fees
received by any state department payable in
advance to the state treasurer , lleiice. the
bondsmen of Moore assert that they are not
liable , as Moore had no right to receive the
fees. Mr. Reed says that this will , lie be
lieves , be a good defense in a criminal action.
Attorney Oeneral Smytli said firmly that
something must bo done in the matter or an
arrest would be made. This is what Attor
ney Reed expects and he is making prepara
tions for defense. Mr. Moore said that he
was doing all lie could to fix this matter up ,
and if given time would do so.
