Speaker Clark O\er ruled and SlftliiK Committee H < ii } . LINCOLN , March 17. ( Special. ) This morning when the journal of yesterday was read Rouse of Hall called atlenllon to Iho fact that the sifting committee which was selected yeftterdnywas elected by a vote ot only llfly members. Pollard of Cass raised the point of order that the election of a sifting committee was nn amendment of the rules and that such n change could not bo made except by majority vote ot all the members elected. Thompson ot Morrlck spoke on the ques tion , explaining that the house had put the matter of advancement of bills In the hands of a commlltee , while the standing rules provided that the bills should be taken up In their regular order. The siftIng - Ing committee resolution was clearly an amendment to the rules and the vote on the resolution did not carry by the re quired majority. Wheeler of Furnas and Sturgegs ot Doug las spoke against the point of order. The chair decided that the decision of yesterday , whereby the resolution appoint ing the sitting committee had been declared adopted was not correct , as the resolution should have received at least llfly-one vote. Sturgess of Douglas moved to appeal from the decision of the chair and on roll call the choir was overruled by a vote of f > l to 45. The solid fusion force supported the appeal and they were joined by Beverly , Burman , Burns , Oltmnr , Fisher and Olm- sted. The absentees from the house were Oration and Vnndegrlft. Anderson of Lan caster stood in the lobby and declined to vote. The question being on an appeal Clark did not vote. The journal of yesterday was adopted and the sifting committee was made secure In Its position Standing committees reported to the gen eral tlio H. R. 141 , 602 , 663 , 503 , 054 , 060 , 181 and S. F. 154 , 148 and 61. I The bills Indefinitely postponed were H. R. 401 , 534 , 573 , GO. 576 , 2 , 263 and 224. The last numbered bill bad already been made a special order , and there was a motion to reject the report and put the bill on file. The motion was defeated by a vote of 24 to 35. Of the thirty-five voting to kill the bill all were fuslonluts except Hums , Beverly and Fisher. The bill was by I'ollard , and provided amendments lo the course of pro cedure ot the State Hoard of TrunBportatlon in the hearing of complaints and actions thereon. Prince of Hall moved that II. R. 431 and 505 be made a ( pedal order for this after noon. He elated that the motion was ; mada on request of State Treasurer Meeervc. Fisher of Davves raised the point of order | that It was the privilege of the sifting com mittee only to advance bills. The point was sustained. A resolution by Wenrl of Pawnee that hereafter the house meet at 9 o'clock In the morning was adopted. Hicks of Webster moved that the secretary of elate bo Instructed to purchase 700 copies , of the 1S09 "blue book" from the Stale Jour nal company , to bo distributed among the legislators and state olHcer. . The motion was laid on the table on motion of Thomp son of Morrlck. II. R. 1S2 , by Beverly of Douglas , was passed by a vote of & 5 to 23 , after nlilch the house took n recess to 2 o'clock. After recess bills were taken up for pas sage. It , H. 251 , by Taylor of Ouster , nn net to amend section 1 } of .chapter 28 ot the Compiled Statulcs of 1S97 , enlltled "Fees , " was passed by a vote of S2 to 9.

The question tlion nroso In regard to the mistake In tlio standing committee's report when the bill was reported lo the house. Taylor of Cui- tcr moved the committee arise , which was carried. A motion was made by Prince that the regular order of business bo dispensed with In order to reconsider the standing com- mllleo'a reporl and Correct the clerical mis take. The motion was Icel. The house again went Into Iho commlt- leo of the whole , with Detweller In Uio chair. II. R. 30 , by Hums , to abolish the State Doar'tl of Transportation , secretaryships ana all , was taken up. I'rlnco of Hall altered an amendment w.hlch . was practical- ro-cn- actmont of H. R , 69. The amendment wna adopted. WJicelcr of Furnas then moved to tccommlt the bill. I'rlnco objected to this. It would mean to kill the bill , as nt least one member ot tlio sifting commltleo was opposed to It and would never lei 11 como up. Olmsled of the sifting committee assured the gentleman from Hall lhat Iho bill would receive fair treatment. The motion to recommit was lost and the bill was recommended for passage. H , II.

At a meeting of the committee today It was de cided to report H. R. 137 , the Pollard revenue bill , to the general file without recommenda tion and with the further explanation that the committee had not given the bill any consideration whatever. S.

They thought a tax upon lire Insurance premiums was all rl ht. Mr Steele eald he endorsed the bill as a whole , nnd thought It wan n splendid mean- i lire , but ho believed < h.it the tax should be levied upon the actual premiums paid instead of the gross premium levied. The way to arrive at that would bo to subatracl the dividends returned to the policyholdcrs from the gross premiums levied. "Is it not the custom In most stales lo tax Iho gross premiums ns this bill proposes ' poses to do ? " asked Representative Weaver , i who was present nt the discussion upon his j i bill. I j ' Mr. Stcclo admitted that ten stales taxed the gross premiums , while four states taxed the gross premiums less the dividends. { T o state , Illinois and New York. wcroi j , quoted as Imposing no tax at all on Ilfo In- j i suranco premiums.

"That provision has been on our stnlulo books more ihan twenty years , bill has never boon enforced , " said Caplaln Palmer. "Then why do yon desire U lo bo repealed , If It has not been enforced , " asked Chairman Owens of the committee. "Well , you are proposing a now insurance law that will probably stand on our books for the next twenty-five years , and all sur- plusago shoulds bo omitted , " replied Mr. Palmer. "Tho retaliatory section hai only been enforced once , and that within this last year , " said Mr. Steele. "Tho Insurnnco dc- partmcnt of this state held up our company for $ C02.
