Predicted That Legislature Will

REFERENDUM ALSO HI TROUBLE
Lincoln , Jan. 24. Probably the most
important action of the legislators last
week v/as an agreement of the county
opticnists in conference on the form
of a county option bill to be intro
duccd. This bill promises to be an
nil absorbing subject with the legis
hiture and friends of the measure de
sired to agree -on a bill and to avoid
the introduction of a multiplicity on
the same subject. The' drys , in an in
formal caucus which was not binding
upon any one , agreed to a short form
of a bill , one that will merely amend
two sections cf the Slocumb law so
that county board and towns maj
grant licenses only when the people of
a county by a vote permit the grantin ?
of licenses. Twenty per cent of the
voters is required on a petition to sub
, HENRY SCHEELE.
mit the question of licensing saloons
in a county and the proposition must
be at a r.pecial election. The propo
sition cannot be voted on oftener than i
once in three years.
Senator Eartling of Otoe , who has
the deciding v.ote in the senate on
county option , according to the way
the members are now said to stand , at
tendee1 the dry conference and re
mained throughout the proceedings on
the sub'ject , bit it was announced for
his benefit that the action of the
meeting was not binding upon those
present. Pie announced that he was in
a peculiar position , that he was elect
ed on the Republican ticket , but that
the Republican county convention ,
which amounts to a convention of his
district , was silent 011 the question ,
.yet the county v/as carried by Dahlman
by a majority of 420. -Republican
state platform declares for county op
tion. It is predicted in many quarters
that Senator Eartling will vote against
county option when the test comas. It
Is also said the house will probably
fail to pass s'iph a bill , although a few
members in that body have not made
their position known. The hottest
fight of the session Is expected on
county option , and next In importance
femes a bill to amend the constitution
to provide for the making of laws and
idoption cf constitutional amendments
by the initiative and referendum.
Referendum in Trouble.
Friends of t.ho referendum contend
that some members who pretend to
favor such a bill , at heart desire a
bill that will make it difficult to adopt
new laws and constitutional amend
ments by the referendum. Those so
accused reply lhat they desire to "pre
vent the passage of a bill that will In
flict upon the voters a ballot seven
feet long and a multiplicity of propositions
'
tions at any one election , such as was
complained of In South Dakota last fall.
The average percentage of voters
necessary to submit a proposition In
most states where the referendum Is
In force is 8 per cent. Albert of Platte ,
the leading Democrat of the senate ,
proposes to require 30 or 40 per cent ,
or to leave all of the details of the
initiative and .referendum system ,
after It is engrafted upon the constitu
tion , to future legislature to determine
by enactments. ; .
It is admitted that some sortof ! an
Initiative and referendum bill must be
passed at this session of the legislature
'
ture , because both political -parties are
\ledged \ in favor of it.
Sunday Baseball.
The indications are favorable for
the passage of a bill to permit cities
and towns to regulate and to prohibit
or permit the playing of lawn tennis ,
pelf or baseball in city limits ! The
Bartling bill. S. F. 36 , was discussed
In the senate anB referred back.to tne
Judiciary committee for some slight
changes. It was surmised that some
Benator might want to amend the bill p
and spoil it entirely by moving to In
clude seven-up or croquet or some oth
er game. There is talk of the drys a
supporting : Sunday baseball bill if
they can get in return any votes for a
county option bill. Two years ago n
Representative Scheele of Seward , the
Edovcate of "sunshine unt liber-r-tyj"
came very near going home with a
Sunday baseball bill hanging to his
belt , but he did not. b
little has been atcttmplisiea
during : the preceding weeks of the leg
islature , less may be accomplished this
week. This is sure to prove true in
the senate on account cf the absence
DJ ! the public lands and buiulin s com
niittee on a tour of t e state to vis i
state institutions. The senate cooi-
rnittee comprises , Reagan , Kohl , Volpp
Tibbots , Banning , ' Wilcox , McGrew ,
Eartling and Varner. The ccmmiitae
left Lincoln today and will return
Friday afternoon after visiting stat-
institutions at Omaha , Wayne , Nor
folk. Grand Island , Kearney and Uast
ings. Each institution where the
committee visits is supposed to fur
nish plenty of fried thicken and other
refreshments suitable to a legislator.
Governor is Busy.
Governor Aldrich sent messages ,
messages on two n nor matters wnich
he wants taken up , one for an e : : tra
tcod inspection appropriation and the
other for a memorial to be sent to
congress on the founding of a na
tional park in Gage county.
The park is to be established as a
monument to Galusha A. Grew and
will ba on the site of the Daniel Free
man homestead , the first homestead
ever taken out under the national
homestead law. The bill for it was
introduced in congress by Representa
tive Hinshaw.
The ffovornor advised the appoint
ment of either 13. H. Ecgole or R. J.
Kilpatrick of Beatrice to take the
message to congress.
When the messages were presented
to the senate , Jansen of Gage moved
that the wishes of the governor be
carried out as soon as possible and
that , member be appointed to present
the petition in Washington.
Bartos or Blackstone.
Senator Eartos of Saline , who is
something of a scrapper , began kick
ing when he svas a young man in the
law school of the university of Nebras
ka and has kept it up ever since. He
was known in school as the youth who
stabbed Blackstone when Blackstone
was absent and could not defend him
self. The ether day Mr Eartos met
Chief Justice Reese , who was dean of
the law college when Eartcs was a
students. They talked over old times
and particularly one incident.
One morning after Mr. Bartos had
just returned from Wilber , where he
had attended a dance given by the St.
James club , he was about to fall to
sleep in the class room.
"Mr. Bartos , " said Dean Reese ,
please tell the class what municipal
law is aslefinod by Blackstone. "
Bartos aroused himself and arose.
"Municipal lavhe said , "is a rule of
civil conduct as prescribed by the su-
preme powsr of the state. "
"Very good as far as you have
gone , " said the dean. He then called
on another young man to give the def
inition. The answer was : "Municipal
raw is a rule of civil conduct as pre
scribed by the supreme power of the
state , commanding that which is right
and prohibiting that which Is wrong. "
"I do not think , that definition is
good , " exclaimed Bartos. Dean Prose
slapped bis open book shut , folded his
arms and looked over the class. "We
will leave that definition of Black-
stone's which has stood the test of
centuries , " he said , "now being slabbed
Jn the heart by Bartcs , until tomorrow
morning and then let the class decide
whether Bartos is right or Blackstone
is wrong. "
The next morning in the class Ear
tos came loaded to the guard to put
Blackstone out of business , and those
present say he came very near doing
it. He was proud of his knowledge of
Latin and he recited in that tongue the
dcfiiiHicn given by Cicero , which cor
responded with his own. "You farm
ers , " he said , turning to the young
men in * the ctass , "do not know what
that means , but pretty soon I will give
it to you in English. He did so , and
also quoted from other authorities that
had criticised the Blackstone defini
,
tion. To-this clay , Bartcs and Blaek-
stone nre standard authorities in the
university law collage of Nebraska.
Thirteen New.Bills In.
Thirteen new bills were introduced
in the house and there was a short
pession of the committee of the whole
with Gerdes as chairman. The pur
chase of Cobboy's statutes became
again fi point of controversy and after
.he committee of the whole had rec
oinmende.d that the bill pass which
provides for their purchase , several
members tried to get a reconsidera-
The new bills in the house included
the new charter for South Omaha ,
which was introduced by Bulla ; two
measures to prevent throwing of sharp
objects In tT.e roads to injure automo
bile tires , -.r.'l two retlistricting bills.
Bushee of Kimball introduced the
1
Koaglrml hill in the house , and Matrau h
of ? 5arJ30n ] brought up r.n independent
measure.
In the senate several new bills were
'ntrodv.ced and the , absence of nine
members did not prevent the passage
of important measures. Among these
were H. R. 91 and 92 ( the appropria
tion bills ) . S. F. 26 , Skiles' bill raising
the wages of Jurors'from $2 to § 3 per
day ; S. F. 3 , giving unincorporated
leligious bodies the right to sell real
estate , and S. F. 2'4 , which amends
the code to a'low an appeal from a
deoiuion in which the awarded dam
ages are only $1. and S. F. 9 , which is
bill to ratify the constitutional
amendment for a federal income tax.
The relative merits of San Francisco
and New Orleans were thrashed out
bofqtti the committee of the house on
Lliis question at the Royal hotel last , '
n'ght. Representatives of the two expositions - P
positions are on the ground. The committee - . r
mittee voted to postpone indafinitey. ! f' '
Other committees are preparing rer ' ;
