Lincoln, 5eb., Jan. 27 "Why doen't the seuate do something?" ia a cemmon query. There is vry little the senate can do Eighty-one bills have been introduced and eventy-three have gone as far a- the com mittees. Only six have reached the gen eral file, where they may be discussed In committee of the whole and prepared for passage. The fault, If there is a fault, may be charzable to the committee. Only three have reported, and they have turned In about a dozen bills, half of them with a recommendation for indefinite postpone ment. The committees have been s!ov hi getting to work and not very rapid in action. This i- due in part to inexperience. The greatest share of work thus far has fallen to the Judiciary committee, and only one of its members, Senator Chr;stoffer-on, of Omaha, is a lawyer. The key to the situation lies In the con tests. If the legislature were rid of them there woulfl be ample time to pass needed laws. The independents begin to realize the situutlon. and there is a growinz num ber in favor of dropping the contest and leaving Gov. Boyd's title to be settled by the quo warranto proceedings instituted by Gen. Thayer. It was partly with th.it In view that the data of the content was post poned from Feb. 5 to Feb. 17. The senate Is more conservative than the houe. and It Is just poible that the con current resolution naminz th date f r hearing the coutest may le defea-ed. Most of the independent senators realize that the contests may consume weeks of valuable time with no certain result except tha of piling up h great bill of expen-e. beside en dangering lezi-lation that they want.
