(From a f1aff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, April 13 (Special.) Governor
Mickey today disapproved of three bills and
stsned two. Those vetoed were the ex
emption bill, the set for a Juvenile court
and the bill for a Nebraska-Missouri boun
dary commission. He signed If. R. 124,
authorizing the Insurance of live stork, and
H. R. 294, to permit rautuaj Insurance com
panies to do business outside. of the state.
The governor also corrected a mistake
made In the salary bill by the clerks In the
enrolling room of the house. The enrolled
bill did not contain the appropriation for
the three stenographers for the supreme
court Judges. The omission was discov
ered by George Anthes of the stste audi
tor's office. Mr. A ithes cslled the atten
tlon of the office of ths attorney general
to the fact. The attorney general In the
Nebraska report found precedent for an
amendment, to the act by the state execu
tive. Governor Mickey attached to the bill
a statement showing that the engrossed
bill contained the appropriation and that
the records ot both houses showed that It
had passed regularly. He then added that
he approved also of an appropriation of
$1,000 a year each for three stenographers
for the supreme court judges, making $4,000
for the blennlum.
Victory for I'nlona.
The vetoing of the exemption bill Is an
endorsement of union labor and Is a victory
for the Omaha labor unions. During the
session the laboring men of Omaha sent
delegates here frequently to work against
the passage of the bill, but the recall mer
chants were too strong and the bill finally
went to the governor.
In support of his action Governor Mickey
filed this statement with the secretary of
state:.'
In my opinion there Is no occasion for a
drastic revision of the exemption lawn anri
the placing of this act upon the statutes
might result In much annoyance mid un
necessary expense to those agninst whom it
Is Intended to operate. It is argued that n
statutory provisions for the collection of
debt can harm the honest debtor, but are
onlv effective against those who st-eK to
evade their Just obligations. This Is true
In the main, and yet it would be possible
under the worklr us of the proponed act to
occasion legal proceedings and unnecessary
costs against those who made" a practice of
paying their dents, hut wno miRnt not do
ready to meet the Immediate demands of
an Importunate creditor. It is optional
with ever business man whether or not ht
extends credit. If he dos eo he assumes a
certain degree of rl.-k, and, bryond the gen
eral provisions or law. Hi cannot exp.ct
legislation which In a measure would pro
tect him from his own faulty estimate of
the integrity of his patrons. All credlti
heretofore extended have been granted
under the law which exempted the entire
wage of the laborer. The protosfd law
would give the creditor the right to take
20 per cent of the wage which he knew he
had no lien upon at the time the credit was
extended.
In my Judgment there Is no occasion for a
modification of the old law.
C'onrta to Settle Boundary.
For disapproving H. R. 480 the bill for
the appointment of a commission to settle
the Missouri-Nebraska boundary, Governor
Mickey said:
There is now pending In the supreme
court of the UTilted States an act on
brought by the state of Missouri agali.Ht
the state of Nebraska to determl.io the
boundary line between those states. Ac
cordingly It woum D unwise ai wue umr
to provide for a commission which would
seem to take the case out of the hands of
the court, y whom the boundary will be
definitely settled for all time, and place It
In the hands of parties whose decision at
best would be but a recommendation to
congreta. ,
Juvenile Court I'nconstltntlonal.
The governor held that tho juvenile court
bill, S. F. 38, Is unconstitutional. He said:
Senate File No. 38 is "An act to .define
conditions of child dependency, neglect,
cruelty, ill-treatment, and to prescribe
methods for the protection, disposition and
supervision of dependent, delinquent, neg
lected, cruelly or Ill-treated children, and
U provide punishment for violation ot this
act." -
If the bill provides a valid plan for car
rying out the beneficent purposes expressed
in the title of the act, it certainly merits
executive approval; but I am of the opin
ion that the enactment Itself. If approved,
would be unconstitutional and void. One
Important reason which Impels me to this
conclusion is here given.
Section 19, article vl, of the constitution
provides: "All laws relating to courts
shall be general and of uniform operation,
and the organisation, jurisdiction, powers.
proceedings and practice ot all courts of
the same class or grade, so far as regu
lated by law and the force and effect of
the proceedings. Judgments and decrees ot
such courts shall be uniform."
Senate File No. 38 violates the constitu
tional provision quoted. The bill provides
that, for the purpose or tne act, children
In counties having a population of more
than 40,uuo shall be examined ana sub
jected to the orders of the district court,
while children In counties having a popu
lation of less than 40,0u0 must submit to the
jurisdiction of the county court. Under
the constitution the Jurisdiction of the
county courts must be uniform throughout
the atate. Tins is also true or the district
ctiurt. The legislature therefore Is power
less to confer jurisdiction or a class of
cases In one county on the district court
and deorlve the district court of another
county of that Jurisdiction". The provisions
cf thi bill could only be enforced by the
courts, and since the provisions relating
to the Jurisdiction or the courts are un
constitutional, the whole act is void. Ac
cordingly my approval is withheld from
this measure.
Flffares on Insnrnnee.
John L. Pierce, deputy In ths Insurance
department of the stste auditor, has re
ceived from the printers his publication of
a summary of the Insurance business done
in the state for the year ending December
31, 1902. Ths report Is dated March 20.
It shows that the firs Insurance companies
ot the state have written $153,484,489 risks;
losses Incurred $738,886; premiums received.
$1,780,682.29. Three mutual companies
have written $10,087,702 risks; have paid
$11,!0.83 losses; premiums received,
$240,032.90.
Mr. Pierce turned over $1,400 to the state
treasurer this morning. This amount res-
resents the first payments by insursnce
compsntes of ths reciprocal taxes collected
ot companies having headquarters in states
where like taxes sre Imposed on Nebrssks
compsnles. The smount to be paid in this
yesr will smount to from $10000 to $20,000
more than was paid In last year.
The increase ror this yrar Is
due largely to a new law enacted by the
New York assembly. Imposing a 1 per cent
tax on all foreign companies. This tax
was not Imposed last year by Mr. Babcock
the former deputy, because it had not been
in force for the whole year. The amounts
charged up to some of the larger New York
companies by Mr. Pierce, on the account
of this reciprocal tax are: New York Life,
13, 728; Equitable Life, 11.812: Mutual of
New York. $3,013. No specified time is
fixed for the payment of these taXea but
heretofore the companies havs paid them
early in the year. Tile addition of this
large sum to -the treaaury general fund is
opportune, s'nre it comes st s time when
many legislative warrants have drained
the permanent trust funds to ths bottom.
Total of Claims Bills.
Deputy Anthes, of the auditor's office,
footed up the total of the defkleney claims
bl'ls this morning and found that It cams
to $121,000. The regular claims bill will
foot up about $40 000, making a total ot
over $180,000 that he will havs to draw
warrants tor during the next few months,

WASHINGTON, April 13. Naturalization
for purely selfish motives Is alleged against
many native-born citizens of South Amer
ican republica by A. J. bimpson, United
States consul at Quito, 'Ecuador.
The allegations are contained In a report
to the State department which will be pub
lished in a day or two and contain many
Instances In which South Americans have
taken out their papers without ever resid
ing In the States and without even taking
the trouble to learn English. "The sole
Idea of these persons," he says, "seems to
be to escape the support of this govern
ment. While they live in the country of
their birth they claim exemption from the
duties Incumbent on good citizens as Amer
icans, while they escape supporting their
adopted government by never coming
within ita Jurisdiction.
"In prominent letters over their front
doors sre the words,- 'American property,' "
he continues. "In every possible way and
by repeated assertions they claim Amer
ican citizenship, and if an official repre
sentative of the United States dare ques
tion It the over-zealous citizen becomes I
Indignant and Informs him that the gov- I
ernment would not hesitate to protect Its
citizens when abroad.
Tbe difficulty of the situation is Increased
because there are those who reside abroad
for many years who fully Intend to return
to the United States, such persons are
entitled to proper recognition.
"Ons not on the ground may be ready
to aay It is sn easy matter to determine
between the two classes; but after my
experience be will acknowledge- that It
Is Impossible to determine the one deserv
ing recognition and the one who Is a cit
