OUR LINCOLN LETTER.
( Special Correspondence. *
Lincoln , Xeb. March 16.
. Notwithstanding the fact
that the republican party
lias been in control of the
state of Nebraska nearly all
the years that lias interven
ed since its admission as a
state it fell to the lot of a
democratic legislature to
make a liberal appropriation
to erect a monument at the
state capitol to the memory
of Abraham Lincoln. Twen
ty thousand dollrrs has been
set a-part for tl.io purpose *
and at last the state will
have done proper honor to
the memory of the great
emandipator.
The democratic members
of the house have held a
caucus and selected from
its members a sifting com
mittee , which will have
charge of the work of pick
ing out the important bills
that will come before the
lower house for considera-
t'on. Two memb'ers were
selected from each congres
sional district , and two re
publicans were given a place ,
on the committee. Speaker
Pool will be chairman , and
the fact that the selection of
this committee was made by
the members of the caucus
was no reflection upon this
gentleman , who lias the con
fidence and respect of the
house , but it was done in
conformity to the democratic -
ic principle inaugurated at
the opening of the session ,
and by which the house
took upon itself the prerog-
tive of selecting its own
committees. Eepresenta-
tives Taylor of Ouster ,
Henry , Bowman , Clark and
others were active in advo
cating this plan , and that it
has met with approval is
evidenced by the fact that
strong words of commenda
tion in its favor have come
from every part of the en
tire country.
The general appropria
tion bills have taken up part
of the time of the house
during the week. A de
ficiency of § 110,000 came
down to this legislature from
the last republican adminis
tration which must be made
up and the bills paid. The
people of the state will be
glad to know that the wards
of the commonwealth will
be properly cared for by
this legislature. That the
state institutions will be
maintained and that every
dollar necessary for their
proper maintenance will be
generously given. No one
desires that the people
should be niggardly in this
but it is now pate-nt
that the governor and the
legislature propose to see
that every dollar appro
priated goes into proper
channels , and that useless
and unnecessary extrava
gances are cut off.
One of the strongest
speeches made during the
! session was derived by Sen
ator Donohue of Holt on
Wednesday in support of his
bill for the enactment of the
initiative and referendum.
Among the other strong
members of this body from
out in the state are Ollis ,
Henry , Tibbets and Fuller.
One of the bills passed by
the house is the proposal to
repeal that part of the reve
nue law providing for the
appointment of precinct as
sessors , and making these
officials elective , and plac
ing their selection back
again in the hands of the
people where it rightfully
belongs.
The railroad lobby made
a strong effort during the
work to have the committee
on railroads of the house re
port the demurrage bill for
indefinite postponement , but
signally failed in their ef
forts in this direction , and
the bill was recommended
for passage. This bill pro
vides that shipments miist
be forwarded without de
lay , and carries a penalty
for failure to do so , making
the conditions reciprocal ,
as the railroads now charge
demurrage for failure to un
load cars within a specified
regardless of how long
the car . may have been in
- * *
transit. .
The proposed law for th }
physical valuation of all
corporate properties in the I
state is being antagonized' '
by every intrenched interest - j
est within its borders. The
bill has passed the senate
and will become a law.
Judge McPherson , who
recently decided against the
two-cent passenger rate law
in Missouri , based his opin .
ion on the earnings upon a \
i
valuation fixed by the rail
road companies. Had the
proposed Nebraska law been
in force there these valua
tions would have been as
certained by the state itself
and the facts accurately ar
rived at. As an instance of
what this law seeks to ac
complish it may be stated
that it is openly asserted
here that a local gas com
pany has charged rates based
on a valuation of their prop
erty , three dollars of which
is water and one dollar act
ual money or its equivalent
in value. To forever wipe
out this kind of financier
ing and expose the methods
by where corporations have
evaded taxes and charged
exhorbitant rates is the pur
pose of this democratic leg
islature in passing this law.
Gov. Shallenberger has
signed the bill prohibiting
the formation of fraternal
societies in the public
schools.
The bank guaranty de
posit law has passed the
house and will pass the sen
ate as soon as the sames
reached. This measure hrs
been carefully written , an 1
lias been endorsed by tl e
best intelligence on this sub
ject in the state. A coterie
of national bankers have
been quietly taking a stab
at this bill whenever oppor
tunity afforded but their ef
forts have been unavailing.
Both the house and sen
ate have recommended for
passage bills for changes in
the road law. While the
measures differ in some re
spects yet they each provide
for the formation of new
road districts by the county
board , the payment of one-
half of the road tax in mon
ey and for other changes
which meet the approbation
of the farmers in the legisla
ture.
ture.The
The house on Friday
morning , by a decisive vote ,
refused to legalize the do
nation of the Carnegie fund
to the state university pro
fessors , thus repudiating the
efforts made to have the
reputation of our great uni
versity tainted with money
amassed by the head of the
steel trust. Mr. Carnegie
himself has recently admit
ted that the fortunes created
in steel industry were made
under the protection of laws
which he says now ought to
be repealed.
