Douglas of HockVThe constitution of Ne
braska provides that the legislature may
:rom;time to time pass laws establishing
eauonabls maximum rates of charges for
:h - transportation - of passengers and
freight on the different rnllroada In this
Itate. If the legislature were to pass a
reneral law fixing the maximum charge
or transportation of men, for example,
Belonging to a certain class and did not
prescribe, fits maximum charge for other
;lasses of people then It would hardly b
irgued that such a law would be -constitutional,
for the reason that it would bo
Mainly discriminatory, und would therefore
be.clttse legislation. If that bo true, hats
the? legislature a right to enact a law
Hxlng the maximum charge on any par
ticular class of freight and not protect
Sther classes from overcharge? H. R. 236
as for its purpose an object, the fixing of
a maximum charge for the transportation
of certain classes of freight, and Inasmuch
is It repeals the present maximum rate law
It leaves all classes of freight not Included
In the bill unprotected, and for that reason
It seems to me to be discriminatory and
hence class legislation. A further objec
tion to H. R. 238 is the fact that the mail
mum rate allowed 1 determined by what,
ever may have been the rate In. force, on
January 1 of this year and we have no
knowledge as to whether these rates were
load sji(Sjj 10 duHi)o m o) uuoitun
fled or not, and ss to whether these rates
n lores at that time were Just and equit
able on any of the roads In the state be
tween localities on such road, and hence
the maximum rate fixed by tnls bill may
not be reasonable and Just between the'
different localities on any road; - and It
must be very evident to all that they would
naturally not be uniform as among the
different roads, snd for these reasons It
seema to me that the law proposed by this
bill could not be held constitutional. I
therefore Tote "no."
Reapportionment BUI Killed.
' The McAllister reapportionment bill was
defeated In the house by a vote of 38 to S3.
McAllister .made an attempt to nonconcur
In the report of the committee of the whole
to Indefinitely postpone the bill, but his
motion was lost by a vote of 24 to 37.
Both Caldwell and Bedford made similar
attempts to raise their bills from the com
mittee's report, but failed.
The McAllister bill would have given
Omaha an addition on joint vote in the
senate and house of five and one-half mem
bers, making one float district with Saun
ders county. McAllister had made this bill
the one purpose of his career this term
and two years ago and went down to de
feat fighting with unyielding tenacity. He
was aided at the last by Clarke of Douglas,
Voter of Cedar and McLeod of Btanton, all
of whom made urgent and eloquent pleas.
All the speakers for the bill Insisted that
ths bill was drawn In the best Interestsof
the stats at large upon the basis of the
1900 census and that It was only a matter
or right and Justice that It should be
passed. Nevertheless It had been charged
that tho measure was in the Interest of R.
B. Schneider's candidacy for United States
senator two years hence, and Mr. Schneider
had a hand :n drafting the bill. This state
ment finds emphatic denial by McAllister
and others.
At all events It was the first time this
session In either house when the north and
south Plutte lines have been rigidly drawn
on any bill. While there were exceptions
this alignment was plainly evident.

ROITIAE PROCEEDINGS OF SEJiATK
Sheldon Anti-Pass Bill Is Effectually
'-i:" Laid to Rest. . : ' .
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, March 24. (Special.) To the
surprise of those members of the senate
who have worked for real reforms In af
fairs of state, corporate influence this aft
ernoon succeeded in defeating the Sheldon
anti-pass bill, the last of the kind before
the legislature. The debate was fast and
furious, acrimonious at times, and only by
resorting to the, tactics Known to parlla
mentarlans was one of the most Insistent
demands of the people of Nebraska
thwarted.. The bill was indefinitely post
poned by a vote of 15 to 14, and these are
the men who killed the bill:
Peteraon,
Thorn,
Vor,
Wall.
Netlkon. Whaler It.
Those voting to advance the bill for third
reading were:
Bras, Jannlngs, Sheldon,
Cady, Jon, Shreck,
Vrttt, Maaerr. . William,
Oimn, Mockett, Wliaey 14.
Harah, Saundars,
Incidentally, Thomas of Douglas moved
to Indefinitely postpone the bill.
Mockett of Lancaster deserves credit for
killing this measure, for tbs afternoon he
moved to recommit the bill to the commit
tee of the whole. The amendment he pro
posed was to prohibit newspapers from
accepting transportation from railroad com
panies for advertising or for pretended ad
vertising. In support of his motion Mock
ett took a shot at the press in his usual
style. Sheldon, Cady and others protested
to the motion to recommit and Cady raid It
was impossible for the legislature to make
a law to prohibit a newspaper from making
contracts for advertising. Other members
recognized the motion of Mockett as a
smooth scheme to defeut the bill, but ths
motion carried as it had been planned to
carry.
The senate resolved Itself Into a commit
tee of the whole with Dlmery of York In
the chair. Glffln at once made a motion to
prohibit railroads from giving transporta
tion to any person.
Wall, In opposing the bill, said to pass) it
would be to admit the pass prejudiced the
members in favor of the railroads. He
was not ready to admit mat, lie said. He
recited that be had ridden on a pass and
naa twice been eiocted over a man who
carried no pass and who advocated the
abolishment of passes.
Meserve, In speaking for the bill, said the
best government resulted when the neoDla
had confidence In their officers. The people
were In.favqr of the bill, he said, and rather
than have their confidence the least bit
shaken in their officers It should become a
law.
I have no pass," exclaimed Jackson,
"but I would take one tomorrow If I
wanted It. I am against this bill."
He then told how he hat been In public
life and had never been approached by any
living man or corporation. He believed
no honest man would be corrupted by a
pass. As for the newspapers abusing the
members ot ths legislature as It has been
stated they have dona, Jackson said he
kept his conscloncs clear and the news
papers did not affect him.
"They (meaning the railroads) would not
give a pass unless they paid in ths long
run." dramatically exclaimed Sheldon when
he begun to realise that the gams was
set r.nlnst him,
This bill should become a law. The
people of the state believe the pass does
Influence officers and that the system
should be abolished. I want some one to
tell me why a state officer should have a
pass. Why ahuuldn't everybody ride oa
free tram. ortattonT"
"Consider this from a business stand
point." Interrupted Jackson. ."How would
the governor get over the state and the
nation It he had to pay railroad fare with
the salary we pay him?'"
"The stats ot Nebraska Is able to pay
the railroad' fare of Its officers," answered
Sheldon with considerable warmth. "Ws
should not ask a corporation to do It."
"1 believe a man cams a pass before he
gets it," Harsh rose to say. "I have re
ceived passes from the railroads through
business relations. I was asked If I would
accept a pass If elected and I replied to
my populist opponent that I would not give
up my pass if elected.' But 1 am In favor
of this bill because! the people demand It.
They demantt it from principle, I believe,
and not because they think the members
ot this particular legislature are dishonest."
Shreck was for the bill, though he did
not believe the members were Influenced
by passes. He was for It because the peo
ple had demanded such a law.
Cady made a short talk In which he
advocated the passage of the bill because
he believed the principle In the bill was
rlht.
On motion of Thnmas of Douglas the
bill was recommended for Indefinite post
ponement by a vote of U to 16. Then came
the real fight when Sheldon attempted to
get the members on record. Those who
had opposed the bill tried all the tricks of
the trade to prevent that roll call. It was
secured, however, after a call of the house
as shown in the result printed above.
Incidentally, Good, who was expected to
vote for the bill, was absent, and after a
search ot the building could not be found.
His vote would have tied the vote. After
it was over Good got In evidence without
any trouble and expressed surprise that
he had failed ot an opportunity to get on
record.
Wilsey explained his vote by saying that
he knew a man who had taken a pass in
part consideration for Injuries received on
a railroad, and since that time he had
run around over the country so much he
had neglected to attend to his business.
He thought officers would attend better to
business If they stayed ft their place of
business and did not run around on passes.
Mockett voted IC not Indefinitely postpone
the bill, but that he would not vote for
It wlhout the newspaper amendment taken
on.
If. R. t9, the bill to establish the bind
ing twine plant, was passed by a vote of
18 to 11. The vote was, as follows:
Ayes
Boghtol, Olffln. Henr,
Bret, Oilllnan. Pftemou,
Cady, Gould, Shreck,

H. R. 224- Re-enacts the drainage law.
H. R. 255, the bridge bill was, under a
suspension of the rules, advanced for a
third reading. The bill was amended to
strike out the section competing the state
engineer to draw all plans and specifica
tions so that when a county requested it
he could do this.
S. F. 243, to abolish ths old soldiers' vis
iting board, was passed.
The senate recommended for passage the
salary bill, H. R. 250, this morning, with
few changes, though an attempt was made
by Shreck of York to cut out the ap
propriation for the chief clerk and the
stenographer in the office of the labor
commissioner and Bresee of Sheridan
moved to indefinitely postpone the entire
bill when the Shreck motion was with
drawn, it having received such opposition
as to insure it defeat had it been voted
upon. Bresee and Wilsey were the only
senators voting for the Bresee motion. -
Ths changes made In the bill as it came
from the house were as follows:
Clerk in the office of the labor com
missioner, incerased from 11,000 to $1,200 a
year.
Draughtsman In the land Commissioner's
office, increased from l.lJ to $1,500 a year.

folk asylum, decreased from $1,500 to $1,200
a year.
Salary of surgeon at the Grand Island
Soldiers' Home, Increased from $1,000 to

All of the amendments were recom
mended by the finance committee and after
half ot the bill had been gone over it

H. R. 20, appropriating $60,000 for the re
building of the west wing of the Norfolk

STATE PAYING FOH LOBBYISTS
Vouchers on File at Mncoln Tell
Interesting; Story.
(From a Staff Correspondent)
LINCOLN. March 24. (Special.) Out of
ths funds paid into the state treasury by
the taxpayers of the state of Nebraska .a
lobby has been maintained In Lincoln to
force through the legislature appropriation
bills which will have to be paid by the tax
payers. In other 'words, the taxpayers are
taxing themselves, to pay for the pflssage
of appropriation bills. It has Just coma to
light that this was dona at the last, leg
islature and probably - is being done at
this time. According to tho vouchers on
fllo in the office of the state a u 11 tor tho
beneficiaries under this system are T. J.
Majors and W. A. Clark, the latter for
merly superintendent of the Peru Normal
school and the other a member of the
Normal board. A voucher filed with the
state auditor March 31, 13 13, at the close of
the last legislature by Tom Majors is as
follows;
State Normal school to T. J. Majors

This voucher Is sworn to before E. B.

W. K. Fowler, then superintendent, and
W. L. Stephens, president of the board.
The next voucher filed by W. A. Clark,
then president of the normal school, la
of mors Interest and goes further Into
details. Accompanying the voucher is a
detsiled expense account. He received pay
out of the state treasury as follows:

R. A. Tawney merely put In a claim
for $15 for meeting with the board while the
legislature was in session. All of these
claims were approved and allowed.
T. J. Majors has been making his head
quarters in Lincoln again for some weeks
and when the session Is over the records
in the office of the auditor will show
whether or not he has put In a claim for
pav for his work.
Representative Zuelow of Colfax county
succeeded today In pushing Jils "bridge
bill through the house. Under this bill
counties are given the right to construct,
control and own bridges not exceeding too
feet In length where such bridges form a
part or cross a publla road. For some
time a hard fight was made against the
bill. Zuelow had hard work to save It.
It Is a measure which ths people of Colfax
and the other two adjacent counties want
very much.
Under the heat of debate this afternoon
strong Intimation from official and diplo
matic quarter that steps looking towsrd
peace hsd been definitely taken by Russia.
The Foreign office declined to eon firm a
report that Francs was likely to be ths
intermediary; but diplomats, who ars ac
tually interested for the first time, gave
credit to the statement thst Russia had
decided to seek peace.
It was said In these quarters that Rus
sla would deal directly with Toklo through
the French minister, who has charge of
Russia's interests in Jspan. However, ths
report of France's active part In the nego
tiations was said to be not entirety cor
rect, as other powers have contributed
towards a pacific solution, and It Is ex
pected they will take part tn Us realisation.
It appears that some of the lesser powers.
Including Sweden, are assisting to that
end.
Russia's chief preoccupation is said to
be avoidance of having peace plans arouse
the animosity of the powerful war element
at home.
The receipt of an official dispatch at St
Petersburg on March 20, saying that the
Japanese were approaching Vladivostok Is
said to have hastened the determination to
seek a paclflo solution. On the other hand,
It is Insisted that Japanese proximity to
Vladivostok promises to be a chief obstacle
In the way of peace, as diplomats conver
sant say that Japan will seek to avert
peace until it possesses Russia's only out
let to the Pacific ocean.
'Determined to Coatlnue War,
WASHINGTON, March 24. While keenly
Interested In the Interpretation placed by
Paris on the significance of the resump
tion of the negotiations of the Russian
loan, European diplomats at Washington
tonight confessed that they were Inclined
to regard this step as a further confirma
tion of official news which has reached ths
United States within the last twenty-tour
hours that the emperor Is absolutely deter
mined to continue the war for the present.
It Paris financiers, as reported, have de
clined to take- up the loan save on con
dition that the proceeds sliall not go
toward the war fund, official Washing
ton, with tho exception of the Russian
embassy, believes that this important fact
marks the beginning of peace negotiations.
The several European ambassadors di
rectly Interested are anxiously awaiting
news from their foreign offices on this
point.
Details of Japanese) Lonn Complete;.
LONDON. March 24. The final details of
the Japanese loan were concluded here to
day with thS exception of the exact date Of
Issue. This has not yet been decided, but
It will not be' delayed. The amount is $150,
000,000, with Interest at i per cent. The
Trice of Issue is 90 and the security will be
the net receipts of the tobacco monopoly of
Japan, amounting to $16,000,000, according
to the budget of the next fiscal year. The
loan will be Issued simultaneously in New
York and London, each of these cities tak
ing $75,000,000. f
The American Issuing banks are Kuhn,
Loeb & Co. and others participating tn the
previous loan, while the British half of the
loan is handlet by ths group of , banks
which was responsible for the earlier flota
tions. The loan Is redeemable after Ave
years. Some subscription Is expected In
Holland and Switserland. It Is said her
that although German banks exhausted
every effort to secure participation In the
loan, they have, been rigorously excluded,
as Japan found no difficulty In securing ths
amount required In New York and London.
Koretlyo TakahashI, special Japanese,
financial commissioner, Informed the As
sociated Press today that the $150,000,000
would suffice for Japan's requirements for
a year or a year and a half, at the ex-'
piratlon of which time. In his opinion, the
war would be over. Three New York
bsnks are concerned Kuhn. Loeb 6 Co.,

HEREDITY
Can Be Overcome In Cases.
The influence of nertdity cannot, of
course, be successfully disputed, but It
can be minimised or entirely overcome in
some eases by correct food snd, drink. A
Connecticut lady savs,
"For year while I was a coffee drinker
I suffered from bilious attacks of great
severity, from which I used to emerge as
white as a host and very weak. Our
family physician gav ma various pre
scriptions for improving the digestion and
stimulating the liver, which I tried faith,
fully but without perceptible result. He
was acquainted wit my family history
for several generations back, and ones
when I visited him he said: 'If you have
Inherited one of those torpid Uvsrs you
msy always suffer mors or less from Its
Inaction. W can't dodge our Inheritance
you know.' - .
''I was not so strong a believer in her
edity ss he was, however, and, beginning
to think for myself, I concluded to stop
drinking coffee, snd so what effect' thst
would have. I fegred It would be a severe
trlaf to give It up, but when I took Postum
and had It will made, It completely fills!
my need for a hot beversgo and I grew
very fond of It.
"I have used ths Postum Coffee for three
years, using no medicine, and ths change
has completely cured me. During all that
time I have had absolutely none of ths
bilious sttacks that I used to suffer from,
and 1 have been entirely free from the
yaln and debilitating effects that used to
result from them. The change Is surely
very great, and I am compelled to glvs
Postum Coffee ths exclusive credit for It"
