If any proof is needed that Nebraska
is a progressive agricultural state one
is furnished in tho fact that thirteen
conventions met in Lincoln in one weok
The people who attended were interested
in and discussed agriculture horticul

who do things and have done things in

An effort is being made in tho legisla
ture to secure an appropriation of S100
000 for larger buildings and better
equipment on the agricultural farm at
Lincoln It is worthy of note that the
conventions and associations which met
recently at Lincoln all indorsed the
movement and the live stock breeders
were so enthusiastic as to urge that tho
amount should be 8200000 As most
of the members of these associations aro

Attorney Genekal Cunneen of New
York state state has written an opinion
in which he holds that the offering of a
transportation pass to a member of the
legislature is a misdemeanor that its
acceptance by the legislator would con
stitute a misdemeanor and make him
subject to forfeiture of his office This
statement of the case has been made
public by the attorney general The
giving of the attorney generals opinion
arose from the fact that the Pullman
Palace Car company sent to Hon
Francis G Landon member of the as

Lincoln Letter
Lincoln Neb Feb 2 1903
Special Correspondence
As outlined in the letter of last weok
the legislature took a very short time in
showing its disapproval of tho land
leasing bill now before congress The
Nebraska legislators wero very little im
pressed by tho fact that tho bill was ad
vocated by a congressman and United
States senators They hit it quite quick
and hard At the same time there was
a general sentiment expressed in favor
of allowing larger areas of homestead
in tho range country to allow the small
cattle owners a better chance
The greatest interest of the past week
was centered around revenue matters
and it was pretty well agreed that tho
special rovenuo committee should bo
given a weok to prepare and digest a
revenue bill It was conceded that this
would be the only feasible way to get a
revision of tho law Those who were
opposed to revision were also opposed to
adjournment for tho week To their
number was added some who had made
personal arrangements for tho week
which they didnot like to change For
a time it looked as though the senate
would not concur in the adjournment
but finally an agreement was reached
This gave the revenue committee time
to work without having to pay attention
to other matters It also gives the other
committees time to visit the public
buildings of the state
The revenue committee had a general
discussion over the basis for a new bill
and at last as a matter of state pride
decided to take the Nebraska law as a
basis with the tacit understanding that
the Kansas bill would be drawn upon
for whatever good fpatures it contained
All believe that the first important thing
is to get all property listed on the asses
sors books at its fair value and that the
next important thing is to provide better
methods for the collection of the taxes
In both these features experience has
proven that the Nebraska law needs
mending in order to produce the requi
site revenues to run the business of the
state
Members of the legislature in the city
are shocked to hear of the death of John
L Mayer of Stanton one of tho house
clerks who was asphyxiated at his
room in an Omaha hotel Sunday Mr
Mayer had made many friends among
the legislators during the month and it
is probable that his untimely death will
call for official resolutions when the
house meets again
The movement among tho district
judges of the state to reduce the num
ber of judicial districts and tho number
of judges is taking definite shape and it
is probable that a bill to reapportion the
districts will soon be in the hands of the
apportionment committees Lawyers
agree that there is a gradual reduction
in the amount of litigation and that
fewer judges can do the work with
a consequent saving to the state There
is also much sentiment in favor of a re
turn to the district attorney system
and a bill to that effect has already been
introduced The argument is made that
counties aro unable to elect attorneys
who are capable of coping with the
stronger members of the bar in criminal
cases and that in smaller counties the
salaries are so small as to furnish no at
tractions to good lawyers It is claimed
that district attorneys may be elected
with reasonable salaries resulting in
stronger legal talent and better service
in the prosecution of criminals Many
district judges favor the plan
Tho legislature has forty days in
which to introduce bills and of these
twenty days have Already gone It is
capected that during the first week after
this recess most of the important meas
ures will have been introduced includ
ing the appropriation bills which come
shortly after the visits to the state in
stitutions
