Former Statutes Amended in Important Par

RADICAL CHANGES FROM THE OLO AUSTRALIAN BALLOT
Legislation for Benevolent and Mutual Insurance Companies Occupies n Prom
inent Place in the Now Code Direct Blows Aimed at Trusts
and Combinations Added Privileges Glvon to
the Board of Transportation.
The UPC prcxsntn herewith a compendium
of the laws enacted by the Twenty-fifth ses
sion of the Nebraska legislature , which ad
journed kino dlo last Saturday. The ttrao in
which the governor could approve or veto
bills which passed the two houses expired
Thursday evening and until that tlmo
had expired a correct aynopsls was Im
possible. No attempt has been made
to present each new law In full.
Each law , however , haa been cnro-
fully examined mid epitomized. Where
It _ was amendatory of a law already on the
statute book the difference between the old
and the new provisions has been pointed out.
Whole the law Is entirely now Its leading
features have been brlully outlined.
The arrangement follows closely the gen-
crnl arrangement of the compiled statutes of
JS05. Many" pro forma laws have been
omitted , as they have no place In the statute
books. The appropriation bills have not been
Included , as they have already been pre
sented. Tlc : bills fur the now charters ROV-
crnlng the cities of Omaha and Lincoln have
also been omitted , as they have been fully
'exploited rind are of Intcrcat only to the
people of the two cities Interested.
The legislature passed lu all 133 bills. Of
this number the governor vetoed seven and
allowed , two to becorao laws without his
signature.
Chapter II Agriculture ,
Sections 12 to 20 Inclusive , of articln Iv ,
chapter II , have been entirely repealed.
Thesti sections contained the law enacted by
Unr"le-glslnture two years ago for the purpose
of encouiaging the beet sugar and chicory in
dustries by paying a bounty of five-eighths
of 1 cent n , pound on the manufactured pro
duct. The bounty law was repealed by a
strict party vote , but the legislature refused
to make any appropriation for the payment
of the bounty earned by the factories for the
two years during which the law was In
force. The whole subject was referred to a
committee with Instructions to Investigate
the validity of the claims and report their
findings .to the governor.
Sections 21 to 30 Inclusive , of the same
chapter , relating to the destruction of Rus
sian thistles , was also entirely repealed.
This law was also enacted but
two years ago. It proved burden-
come as far as expense was concerned
and failed , to meet the expectations of the
men who asked the legislature two years ago
for Its passage.
r III A men ( linen tx to the
CoiiNtltution.
A. 'ne'w method of making returns of the
Tote cast for or against proposed amendments
to the state constitution has been provided ,
calculated to do away with the doubt and
uncertainty as to the result In the previous
history of Nebraska. Under the new law ,
- which la amendatory of sections 4 , 11 and
13 , of chapter ill , Judges and clerks of elec
tion are required to make return to the
county clerk the following facts : First ,

amendment ; fourth , the number of voters
who voted for senators ; fifth , the number of
voters who voted for representatives ; sixth ,
the number of voters who voted for both
senators and representatives. All these

last bill passed by the legislature was the
ono known as the "Initiative and Referen
dum. " Nebraska being the first state in the
United States and the first In the world
after the republic of Switzerland to put this
law on its statute books. The law Is very
complex , and Its provisions will have to bo
studied In detail before they can bo well
understood by the voter. The general fea
tures of the now law are two , The first
gives the people of any city , town or vil
lage , the right to propose nn ordinance , and
when n petition signed by at least 15 per
cent of the legal voters of the city , town

ono special election shall be held each year
unless the petitioners deposit with the clerk
an amount equal to the expenses of eald
special election , which amount Is to be for
feited In case the proposed ordinance Is not
adopted. The second main feature of the
bill is the ono which requires the city coun
cil to submit to a vote of the people any
ordinance which It may pass If 15 per cent
of the voters petition for the right to vote
on the satne.t The law does not bccomo
operative until It Is adopted by n vote of
tie people In each city , town or village.

visions of the law ore as follows :

FRATERNAL INSURANCE.
An entirely new law defining1 and rogulat
Ing fraternal beneficiary societies , orders o
associations has bfen enacted. The new la\
la considered nmplo to afford every protectlo
to the- policy holders
- in such societies aiu
associations. It was prepared by proml
ncnt friends of-bcnorolent insurance In th
state , and had the backing of the leadlni
fraternal -orders of Nebraska. The law I
of Interest only to members of such mutua
societies , and Is too long to permit of an In
telllgent aynopsls within the limits of a s'n '
glo newspaper paragraph. Suffice It to ea
that all such companies are placed uuder th
direct supervision and control of thn audlto
of public accounts , \vho Is authorized to re
celvo report ? aml.tOjmake an examination o
the books of each society whenever in hi
Judgment such examination may bo necessary

WIPES OUT INSURANCE TRUST.
Another new feature of the chapter de
voted to Insurance Is the nntl-compact law
It provides that
nnji combination or agree
ment made or enterid Into between two o
moro flro Insurance ! companies within till
state , relating t.o Nitrates to he charged fo

Chanter I.VMo IlcIue.
The laws governing the practice of medl
' " ths ! atato
? have becn materially modi-
, -
fled. Sections 3 , S and 10 of chapter Iv have
been reconstructed. In section 3 It Is pro
vided that no one of the secretaries of the
State Board of Health shall be In any way
connected with the faculty of any medical
acnool or college. Section S , defining the
term medical school or college , now provides
that the curriculum shall Include four courses
of lectures of six months each , no two to b'a
held within ons year. The old law provided
for but three courses of lectures. Another
new provision in section 8 requires such medl
eal school or college to give at least four

clplcs and practice of medicine and surgery

Cluinlcr IVIMIIIniry Coilc.
The old military code , comprising chapter
Ivl of the Compiled Statutes , has been re
pealed and an entirely new code substituted.
The old cede wns ambiguous In many of Its
provisions and conflicted In some particulars
with the laws of the United States. The
now law was drawn by competent military
authority and Is believed to bo complete In
all necessary details. Under Its provisions
the Nebraska National Guard Is to consist
of not more than 2,000 enlisted men and the
necessary commissioned officers to perfect the
organization. There shall be not moro than

Of Interest In school district officers In
sparsely settled counties In the northwestern
part of the state will bo a now section added
to subdivision I of chapter Ixxlx , providing
for the dlspcsltlon of the property of dls-
momborsd school districts and for the clos
ing up ot the nffalta of said district. Whenever -
over the number of legal voters In any dls-
tilct becomes less than three the county
superintendent shall act as the third officer
ot such district. When for a continuous
period of ono year a district shall have less
than two It-pal voters residing therein , the
coun'y superintendent may , In his discretion ,
annex the district to one or more adjoining
districts upon petitions signed by a majority
of the legal voters of such adjoining district
or districts. When for a continuous period
of ono year a district shall have ICES than
two legal voters , It shall to lawful for any
court of competent Jurisdiction to authorize
the county superintendent to close up the

erty and pay off the debts. If there is still
a balance duo the county commlssloncis must
levy a tax sufficient to pay the remainder.
PUPILS IN ADJACENT DISTRICTS.
Section 4a of subdivision v , has been
amended by adding to the section as It now
reads the folowlng proviso :
Provided , That no taxes on the real estate
shall be transferred under the provisions of
thlii section except the taxes'upon BUCU real
estate as Is situated on the same quarter sec
tion of land on. which the parents or guard

as above Indicated , provides that where- chil
dren of school ago are living over ono and
one-halt miles from the school house In the
district In which they reside they may attend
a nearer school house In an adjoining dis
trict. The amendment changes the manner

the real CHtatc owned by the parents of such
children by the district In which they at
tend school. The new law corrects this
omission.

:
Jhall In no ono year exceed 2 per cent , " etc.
