OUR LINCOLN LETTER.
( Special Correspondence. )
Lincoln , Xeb. , March 2.
The time limit for the in
troduction of bills lias ex
pired , and from now on the
work of legislation will go
on in real earnest.
The "slaughter of the in
nocents , " reference being *
had to favorite bills , has al
ready begun. That the
pledges of the democratic-
platform will be carried in
letter and in spirit is assur
ed. It is no easy task to
frame a law that will stand
the scrutiny of a supreme
court , especially when that
law has to deal with such
an important matter as our
banking laws. But the com
mittees on banking have
worked hard and long , and
the result is a bill that will
carry out the pledges guar
anteeing depositors. The
bill may , and doubtless will , j
be amended before its final
passage , but the amend
ments will have to do with' '
details , and not with the
spirit of the law.
Senate File 15 has been
passed by both houses and
now goes to Governor
Shallenberg'er. This bill
provides that the secretary
of state shall cause" " * to
be published in newspapers
designated by the governor
all proposed constitutional
amendments.
Senator Donahue's bill ,
providing for a non-partisan
judiciary and taking the
schools .out .x. of politics * , has . *
passed the sen.- . ' . It pro- '
vides that no party designa
tion be affixed to candidates
for judges of the supreme
or district courts , the coun
ty court , or candidates for
county superintendent or
state superintendent.
The house took the bit in
its teeth last week and or
dered the stock yards bill
reported from the commit
tee. This bill regulates the
prices charged by the stock
yards and puts that big
business institution under
the supervision of tiie rail
way commission. The house
will restore to the physical
valuation bill some things
taken from it in the senate.
At this writing it seems safe
to say that the physical val
uation bill will include all
public service corporations
of whatsoever kind. The
determination is to make
good the platform pledge
for a physical valuation of
all corporations performing *
public service.
House Roll 1 has gone to
the governor. This is what
is known as the ' . 'Oregon
Plan" of electing LTnited
States senators. By its pro
visions candidates for the
legislature are given the
option of signing two pledg
es or refusing * to sign any.
One pledges the candidate
to vote for the senatorial
candidate receiving the
highest number of votes.
The other pledges him to
vote for the candidate re
ceiving the highest number
of votes in his district. Or
he can refuse to pledge him
self at all. This is. the bill ,
which republican organs
charge is a plan to "foist
Bryan" on the state.
Here is a little sample of
I republican politics : It hap
pened in one of the state in
stitutions , situated close to
the Missouri river. When
( lov. Shallenberger's appointee -
[ pointee assumed charge of
this institution he found that
the retiring superintendent
had on Jan. 30 , 1908 , signed
contracts with the teachers
he had appointed for the
year of 1909. Thus the inc -
c o m i n g superintendent
found himself burdened
with the teachers appointed
by his predecessor.
One of Gov. Sheldon's
! appointees may yet find
himself in trouble. This
particular man made affidavit -
| vit that he performed the
work in two separate jobs ,
thereby drawing two sepa
rate and distinct salaries.
It is well known that he
never performed one bit of
the work of one position.
He did , however , draw a
warrant for 35 every
month which he retained ,
and gave a woman from § 5
to $8 a month to actually do
the work which he claimed
to have done , and for which
he drew $35 a month.
The number of bills in
troduced in the house at this
session will not be larger
than the number introduced
two years ago. But the
the number will be about
the same. The general ap- ,
propriarions bill will not be' '
larger than the one two
years ago * notwithstanding
the fact that the constitu
tional amendments adopted
last fall will add something
like $90,000 a year to the
expenses of the supreme
and district courts. And
it must be borne in mind
that this legislature will
have to take care of several
deficiencies created by the
Sheldon administration.
March 19th. Mr. Bryan's
birthday , will be the oc
casion for the gathering of
clans in Lincoln. There
will be a banquet in the
evening , at which time Mr.
Bryan will speak , as will
others. In the afternoon
the Democratic Editorial
Association will meet at the
Lincoln hotel , and an inter
esting program has been
prepared. Mr. Bryan , who
is president of the associa
tion , will address the edi
tors.
tors.The
The "sob squad , " always
so noticeable every time a
pardon or a commutation of
sentence is applied for , will
find its occupation gone.
The application for a commutation - |
mutation of sentence in the
case of Shumway revealed
the feact that Gov. Shallen-
berger is not going to be :
embarrassed by sentiment- ;
ality. He confined the hearing - |
ing to facts , and several' '
members of the "sob squad"
were not allowed to com
plicate matters. The hear
ing was short , sharp and
decisive and the govern
or refused ts interfere. He
also refused to parole and
commute the sentences of
several convicts whose pe
titions were based on senti
mental grounds.
The attempt to make po
litical capital out of the So.
Omaha riot was a dismal
failure. Representatives
Howard and Kraus had no
difficulty in proving1 that
nothing said by them was
calculated to arouse the j
passions of men. The riot
was participated in by hood
lum boys , the better element
of the workingmen depre
cating the outbreak and do
ing what they could to pre
vent it.
Gov. Shallenberger and
staff will attend the inaug
ural ceremonies in Yf ash- ,
ington. On his way the ;
governor stopped in Omaha ;
on March 2 , and addressed
the Omaha Ad Club.
