Dec. 4.-(Special.)-ForKetUn practically everything, else, representatives of the railroad! are bending every effort to prevent the enactment of a law whereby rallrvad depots UO'I terminals In amall town and cltlea will be taaed for ran ti'clpal nurpoeca the same aa all other classes of- property. According to reliable repcrta brought to Lincoln the raiiroad representative, not content with trying to line up the atnto against Omaha, are pre paring. In the event jot the failure of Una arheme, to fix the till to be passed, id It will b unconstitutional and noncnforccablc,. Their chme,"as told by. one who knows, la to again, .work the, members by claiming that to iax lhls class of property, locally, will be to take money out of the srln ol fund, of the state.' "If the leginlator faiLa to thing In this light. It Is the scheme of the railroad agents to get the uncon aplmious member to vote, for a clausa pro viding thla extra money the big corpora tions pay ahull go .Into the school fund of the .various achool districts. Tills, of course, woifld make doublo taxation and such a law- could be enjoined and rendered use lees. . . Strange as It may seem, the argument used by the railroad agenta that such a system of taxation would take from the school f'ind is having Its effect and two or three legislators who have been here within the 'last few days pretend to believe this argument and will have to be convinced before 'they will carry out this pledge of the republican state platform. Apparently none of thes.i member:! have thought of the fact that the railroads are enjoining the collect io.i of thctr taxes and there Is noth ing left to take out of the school fund, so far aa the railroad portion of It Is con cerned. In their efforta to line up the state against Douglas county, the railroads have the loyal support, of their old time and most of the time fake reformera, who never fall to lake advantage of every opportunity to take a knock at Douglas county and push the railroad scheme along. These fake reformers here are trying with might anJ main to organise tho legislature and their Idea- of an organization of this body !. to make it antagonistic to Omaha and Douglas county. Legislators Visit Lincoln. . During the day T. K. Alderson, representative-elect from Madison county, called upon Attorney 0meral Brown and also picked out a aeat for the session. Mr. Al derson said he was for carrying out every pledge of the platform, but be did not in tend to be one who conies to Lincoln with a batch of bills In his pockets along those lines. Captain Hill of Imperial, re-elected repre sentative, Is also here and will make a try for speaker of the bouse.. Jes"e I Root of Cass county. Is mingling with the supreme court visitors and attorneys, while Clyde jsarnara in maaing iny in ihb race ior rmei clerk of the house. Mr, Barnard Is making quite an extensive canvass and Inasmuch a he has Douglas and Lancaster for hjm he thinks his chance for election are good, but he is not going .yo. stop hustling until the caucua Is' held. ' . ;It Is umlerftitrtWff Wleaflw ohe state ' Committee eifoect to take -quite a hand In the organlsatlon'of both the house and senate, but what effect this will have re mains to be seen. Repre"entative-elect Smith of Boone county was in Uncoln today and selected his sea"' for the next aeaslon. Mr. Smith la undoubtedly one of the youngest looking, if not the youngest in years, of the men elected this fall. He expressed himself red hot for the republican platform. He made vigorous campaign for hia election and nomination and like the rest of 'the Boone county people who come to Lincoln he Is a good mixer and makes frlenda. Bill ta Allow ahnotlnar of Sqalrrela. A bill will be Introduced In the next legislature to repeal the law which protects be no open seaaon. That Inw brought down the wrath of many hundreds of people liv ing in Nebraska on the bead of the ven erable member from Otoe. Just before re moving to California he told a friend he would like to come back to the legislature Just once In order to get that bill repealed. One man who came to Lincoln today said ha saw fourteen squirrels feeding at one comcrlb along the railroad tracks. l.ealalators for Platform IMef. Adam McMullen of Gage county, candi date for speaker of tho house, accompanied by Mrs. McMullen, was here today look ing for a house to rent for the winter. Mr. McMullen said he had received a number of favorable replies to letters sent out re garding his candidacy. 'This Is going to be a very determined legislature," said Mr. McMullen, "and there will be very little time wasted. Nearly all of the letters I get which come from per sons with whom I am not personally ac quainted say the writer Is for a man who will insist on carrying out the pledges of the party platform. This Indicates to me that the legislators are coming In here de termined to carry out the platform to the letter." J. W. Armstrong, Nemaha'a candidate for speaker, was here today to meet with a number of his friends to further his can didacy for this important position. "I am only Interested in carrying out the platform pledges," bald Mr. Armstrong, "and 1 believe this will be an easy matter If It Is' gone about In the right way. I should think it a good plan to appoint a committee to get up the bills and then the entire legislature put them through. Of course this may take from the glory of the individual member, but it will prevent a multiplicity of bills being Introduced and I believe Is about the best way to get at the matter. The committee could be se lected at a caucus or some other way." t'onsolldatla Two Homes. An effort will be made this year to con solidate the Girls' Industrial home at Mil ford with the Home for the Friendless at Lincoln, the united home to be at Mil ford. Thla will leave the entire building now used for the Home for the Friendless and the Orthopedic, hospital for the use of the latter. Tho Orthopedic hospital needs more room, and Superintendent Lord will rec ommend a large appropriation for a new building, but us a lot or the legislators will object to this expenditure, the consolidation likely will be effected. It was defeated in th last legislature because the Lincoln people objected to the institution being taken from the town. Mike Lee Booming; Greater Omaha. Mike Lee of Douglas county Is here meet ing with the other visiting legislators and talking up his greater Omaha. Mr. Lee has made a trip to a lot of the aoutheast counties and In each one he has preached greatei Omalw. until now he believes the next legislature will pass the annexation bill and South Omaha, the Magic City, will be a portion of Omaha.
