TWO HPUHTTHEIfl VOTES.
Lincoln , Feb. 15. The initiative and
referendum bill - jmssed the senate .
without a dissenting vote. Senator
Jansen oi , Gage , -and Senator Varner ;
of Nemaha , both Republicans , ex
plained their votes and stated that
they thought the. bill was too loose in
its terms. < and would allow too much
unnecessary lawihaking , but that the
parties were pledged to some such ,
% '
measure , and this seemed to be the
only one that 'could be' obtained , and
so they ' .would , support it. t
The absent ones were the niembers
of .the Omaha , investigation commit
tee Albert , Hoagland , Lee and Tib-
bets an"d > two others Reynolds and
Placelc.
The bill as if passed provides for a
10 per cent petition of the voters of
the state so distributed as to represent
a strong' . " sentiment in a majority of
P. G. H. BOLAND. *
.counties for > the initiative and 5 per
cent petitions for the referendum. No
t
measureis to be declared pas.seil un-1
les's the majority of votes which it re- |
chives represents at least 55 per cejit
of".all the -votes , cast at the ele.cion
and the impositions are all to bejfub-
rnitteM in a lonpKrtisan manner wlth-
out a party circle on the ballot.
An ejv/dent move to hurry the st'cfck
yards legislation was made by Senator
*
Ollis , author ofthe senate stock yards
bill and chairman of the live stock j
and -grazing eommitteeriiwhen ! ; hV of
fered resolution requiring that all
railroad , bills when.put on general file ,
take precedence of other kinds of
bills. It is understood that stock
yards bills will come under this gen
eral head and can be brought to a
settlement out of their regular order
how , as the resolution was passed.
The senate passed H. R. 3 , which'ap
propriates $1,500 for improving the
southwest. , basement of the state
house. . "EMihrman of Howard was the
only'senator- vote against'it. '
H. RNbs. . 70 , 59 , 26 and 111 , pro
viding forlibrary appropriations from
the state , normal school'fund for the
normal ; .schools at Peru , Chadron ,
Wayne' nnd Kearney , were passed
without dissent
, The resolution of Senator Jansen of ;
Gage in favor of Canadian reciprocity
was put-over another day on objection
from Tanner of Douglas , because so
many senators were absent.
' " The house spent the morning''in"
committee of the whole , and ' fought
(
out the question of traveling expenses
for judges of the district court. ; The
bill of Clark of Cherry to appropriate
a deficiency fund of $4,000 for travel
ing expenses and board bills'for judges
was-scheduledfor indefinite postponement - '
ment by the committee , but when the !
committee rose to report Clark moved
not to concur and the house finally
sustained him , 32 to 28.
Anti-Trading Stamp Bill.
. Housii of Antelope succeeded in get
ting' his anti-stamp bill engrossed for
third reading. The bill , H. R. 107 ,
prohibits gift enterprises of all' sorts ,
whether they be the eleemosynary un
dertakings of church , ladies' aid" soci
eties or street corner raffles. Taylor
of Merrick and several other newspa
per owners objected to the bill- be
cause it would prevent voting contests
and the giving away of".pianos - and
trips to-Europe to the popular schoor
teacher and similar schemes.
Gandy of Custer rose to. remark th t
Jf. the bill would prevent , the public
from being continually badgered into
subscribing for newspapers in the
hope of getting something for nothing ,
he was strong for it.- : ; j
Thursday the house will receive a
report of a. committee on the contest
filed against Representative Scheele
of Seward , capital removal will come
up in a new form , tlfe stock yards bill
will be acted on by flie senate , the
Initiative 6nd referendum , bjll will be
passed in the senate and an appropria
tion of $ .15.000 for a new building at
the WaViitf normal will come up in the.
'liouse , so there promises to be plenty
of excitement Jn both branches of the
"
legislature. * . * " " '

Sunday Baseball.
"S ; F. SG , by Bartling of Otoewas
pagsed by the senate by a. votej of--1.9

hibition , the game can be played be

sion to work investigating conditions

poses to do the same in Nebraska. A
joint resolution , introduced "by'Ollis of

without pay , to investigate social and
economic conditions surrounding farm
life and to report findings to the gov

Cost of Guaranty Law.
The guaranty of deposits law , which
is soon to , be enforced in Nebraska , ,
promises to be costly , according to a 1
'
special message sent to the legislature
by Governor Aldrich. He reports that
$92,600 will be needed during the next |
two years to place tne law in opera-1
tion. To verify-annually at least 10
per cent of the loans .and deposits of
state banks , , as required by the law ,
will occupy the time of "twelve bank
examiners. ' Five or six have been suf
ficient under the old law. . The salaries
Ot twelve examiners at $1,800 a year
amounts to. $43,200 for two years , and
traveling expenses at the rate of $500
a year amounts , to $24,000 for two
years , or a total of $87,200 for this
one item alone.
It has just bee.n announced by an
"
Oklahoma City newspaper that the
tgtate bank .guarantyfund . o'f that state
'
'now contains $75,000. For a long
time the banking fibard officers of
Oklahoma refused'to make public the
amount in the fund. In that state
the guaranty fund , raised by a tax upon - .
on banks , is keptiin the custody oi
the state treasurer and is used not
only to pay losses of failed banks , but (
is loaned to wsak or insolvent banks
to keep them from failing. In Ne
braska , the guaranty fund will be se <
aside by state banks , and retained , in
the banks till called for by the state
