-Taylor Believes Its Passage Would In
troduce Politics liitq- State Univer.
sity Bill Introduced in Senate to
Establish School of Citizenship.
Lincoln , J > > n. 20. The needs of the
state university promises to be one of
the most difficult problems tor the leg
islators to solve. The board of regents
thought at first to ask for an increase
in the 1 mill levy in order to raise
sufficient revenue to pay the expenses
of the institution , but gave up this
idea and will ask in addtion to : he l
mill levy , a specific sum for the con
struction of more buildings.
.F The situation was more complicated
by a request from Mr. Bryan to the
regents to establish a "school of poli
tics , " for which an additional building
would be required. The regents would
not accept this suggestion , saying that
they were already asking the legisla
ture for as much money as they could
hope to secure. After several confer
ences with Mr. Bryan he agreed to be
satisfied if the regents would consent
to the establishment of a "school oi
citizenship" in the university The
regents expressed their individual pro
test against this , but decided not to
fight a bill requesting them to do this
The bill was introduced in the senate
by Senator Miller of Lancaster county
Just what will happen to this bi ;
and how it will affect the appropria
tion for the university cannot bt cre
told , but the action of the house on a
bill to permit the regents to estab'/.si ,
"new departments at their discretion
is an indication. This bil : was re
ferred back to the committee of the
whole tor the specific amendment to
strike out the words quoted Taylor
of Custer county Jed the fight for the
amendment and he had the indorse
ment of Xettleton of Clay , former
speaker. Mr. Taylor's reasons were
that this authority granted the regents
would open the way for future .argb
appropriations. Later , in an Inter
view , he said he believed its passage
would introduce politics into the uni
versity , though he felt satisfied that
neither Mr Bryan nor the iec2ius
wanted" this brought about.
Sergeant-at-Arms to Eject Lobbyists.
The anti-lobby law , which prevents.
by a penalty , any person save ihose
representing cities , towns or state in
Etitutions interested in legislation
from influencing the legislators ex
cept by appearing before committees ,
by publication or the filing of "criers ,
was not sufficient for the house mem
bers. On motion of Stoecker of Doug
las county a resolution was adopted
that any lobbyist appearing on the
floor of the house should be ejected
bodily by the sergeant-at-arms.
In thB meantime some of those who
have in the past been lobbyists or who
have appeared in Lincoln to look attei
legislation have an amendment to the
anti-lobby law to propose. This pro
posed amendment provides that any
member who hunts up a lobbyist to
ask him what he is representing should
be made to suffer a penalty , fhis
party , w.ho is a former lobbyist , said
he had been approached by several
members who desired to know what
he Is representing this year. As the
person was not registered , and was
subject to a penalty should he talk to
the members of legislation , he pro
fessed to be very much embarrassed
by the questions.
The lobby book at this time contains
the following names , with the inter
ests each represents : Frances B
Heald , W. C. T. U. ; C. C. Wright.-J

One thing is certain about this house

It is no-.v ccnteaiplated to draft a
bill which will place tae state engi
ueer in charge of all road construe
tion in the state so that uniform roads
may be built all over Xebras.-.a. It
the bill now in contemplation is final

and wii } have general supervision ovei
tLe work. Heretofore it has been the
experience ; r Nebraska that often
the work of one year is ruined the
next by a change jn the system of road
Duiiding. It is to avoid this that the
committee hopes to create a centra ;
officer to be m charge or the work
It is beginning to look as though

bill appropriating § 15,000 for tnis pur

sage in the house and will be passed ,
and it is thought it will receive like
treatment in the senate Both the
house and senate have been invited tc
take part in the Lincoln centennial
celebration in Lincoln Fob 12 , and
this , it is thought , will help along tht
sentiment for the measure
House Begins to Pass Bills.
The house began to pass bills the
first of this week , though it was in a
position to pass or kill several fcatur-
day , but adjourned just wnen the com
mittee on enrolled and engrossed bills
was ready to report. Save the Uvo ap
propriation bills , one to appropriate
§ 20UOO lor incidental expenses of the
leg.slature and the other to appropri
ate $30,000 to pay the salaries ct me
memoers and employees , no bills were
passed until Monday.
Incidentally , the delay of the en roil
ing committee to get those appropna
lion bills to the president of tie ien
ate for his signature previous to tht
senate adjournment caused a deiay in
Lhe niembeis getting to tne strong bo.\
Df several days. The bills were aii
ready except this signature Saturday
LO go to the governor. The commuu- .
started down with them , when sonie
: ne recalled that the president of tln.-
= enate had-not signed them. As tht
senate was not in session this delayed
natters until Monday.
Appropriation bills carrying the fees ,

Conference at Lincoln on Bank
Guaranty Bill.
Legislature Has Drainage Problem to
Solve High Water Makes It Neces
sary to Provide New Measure to
Cope With Situation.
Lincoln , Jan. 27. The principal pro
visions of the bank guaranty law that
is to be passed by the legislature were
agreed upon at a conference of Demo
cratic leaders with W. J. Bryan and
Governor Shallenberger at the execu
tive mansion. There were present
Senator Volpp and Representative
Graf , chairmen of the senate and
house banking committees , and sev
eral leading members of both houses.
The bill which Mr. Bryan wishes
passed will be a compulsory act and
for immediate payment even as dis
tinguished tfom Senator Volpp's thir
ty-day payment provision , it having
been impressed on the members that
this is necessary and Mr. Bryan de
sires losses shall be made good the
moment the bank can be checked up.
The bill must also have a tax equal
to 1 per cent of the average deposits
and the maximum levy in any one
year must not exceed 2 per cent of the
deposits in emergencies. The money
is to be reinvested in the banks and
they are to furnish securit'es to the
state for safety.
The understanding is the banking
committees will get together on a
measure of this character and will re
port it to the two houses as a commit
tee bill.
Suffrage Bill Goes to General File.
There is every indication that the
proposed woman suffrage bill will
have hard sledding in the present leg
islature. Indeed , it near lost its stand
ing at one fell swoop when the sen
ate committee having in in charge re
ported the bill adversely. Senator
Miller , author of the measure , was
quickly on his feet to say that he had
not been notified of its being consid
ered in committee , and thus securing
a recommendation that the bill go to
the general file. It is not believed the
bul will ever reach the top of that file.
A joint commission of the commit
tees on roads of the house and' senate
gave promise of future action. A bill
introduced by Senator Laverty of
Saunders county some time ago' re
ceived considerable attention and is
to be pushed to passage. It provides
that road building shall be in charge
of the state engineer and that the
state shal bear 50 per cent of the ex
pense of repairing and opening new
roads. The 50 per cent paid by the
county will go into the state treas
ury and the expense will be" appor
tioned according to the valuation
which the different counties bear to
the entire state valuation.
Although this will make the taxa
tions of large counties very high for
roads , it is considered just , since the
cities reap the benefits of good roads
leading to the principal cities and
jtowns in the state. A number of oth
er measures are before the legislature.
Legislature Has Drainage Problem.
Drainage and its control has been
the subject of a number of confer-
pnpes held here recently by attorneys
from Wahoo , Ashland , Fremont and
other places wtyere recent overflows
have brought new problems to the
communities and forced upon the resi
dents the necessity of providing new
laws to meet them. Both house and
senate , when they convened early in ,
the session , added a new standing
committee on drainage which will
take the bills as soon as they are in-
troduced. For two sessions the legis
lature has passed drainage laws in
tended to permit property owners in
certain districts to act together and
drain swampy lands. As a result of the
floods of last year added problems
have arisen. Valuable lands have
been flooded and the purpose of the
acts is to provide a way to cope with
this situation also.
The house , by a vote of 48 to 29 ,
passed the bill providing that the state
canvassing board shall hereafter count
the votes of November elections and
declare the result , instead of the legis
lature. It makes more definite the
present law , and has a direct bearing
en the contest for supreme court jus
tices , wherein appointments have been
made by the outgoing and incoming
governors. Twenty-three Democrats
voted with the twenty-five Republicans.

Judc.c Wur.gcr Rules Apical Can Be
Taken to l-cderal Courts.
Lincoln , Jan. 27. A rul.ns made
here by United States District Judge
Thomas C. Mungcr has the effect of
nullifying so much ol an enactment of
the Nebraska legislature of two years
ago as piohibits railroad corporations
irorn appealing to ieileiai courts from
orders of tne state railway commis
sion. The act of the legislature pro
vided that in appeals that the cases
should be taken to the state courts.
The railroad commission ordered the
Burlington and Northwestern railroads
to construct switches at the town of
York for the transfer of cars from one
line to the other. The two railroads
contested the order and appealed to
the federal court. The "stnte attorney
general , in behalf of the commission ,
demurred and advanced the state law
compelling actions to be started in
state courts. Judge Munger overruled
this demurrer , holding the appeal to
the federal court to be within the pro vince -
ince of the roads. Judge Munger did
not pass upon the merits of the com
mission's order to build the switches.
