State Auditor Barton has held up the claims of Oovernor Sheldon and Rail way Commissioner Williams for pay from January 1 to 7, on the ground that execu tive officers are paid quarterly and ap propriations are made for their pay by the year. Should he have allowed the claims he hero that the money the governor re ceived during the blenntum would have ex ceeded the $5,000 appropriation. The attor ney general upheld the auditor's action. Oovernor Sheldon's claim was for $43, and he filed It under the provision of the con stitution, which provides that the governor Is elected for a term of two years, or until his successor Is qualified.

NEW MOTTO KOll TUB DEMOCRACY pe-l-l Privileges for the Ranch More Jobs for Oemncrnts. (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Jan. 15-(Speclal.) The grand old flag of democracy, which has ft it the touch of the Immortal Jefferson tnd Jack son and Cleveland, and which has been trailed in the dust by the living Bryan, has blazoned upon Its folds in big letters a new motto: "Special privileges to the bunch; more Jobs for democrats." Not content with the Introduction of a bill, which when enacted Into law will leave without limit the number of employes tho state senate may place on the pay roil, bills have been Introduced which will pro vide Jobs more lasting to tho faithful few who led tho people Into the election of an "economical and business-like democratic leglslatuie." rnblushlng, tills "economical, business like" democratic legislature has selected for clerks of committees persons to whom work on a typewriter or of a clerical na ture Is absolutely unknown. Only one qualification has been looked after in tho selection of most of the help and that qualification In the ability of the employe to muster up votes for the demo cratic legislators. A member of the senate this morning wae turned down by two "expert" stenographers to whom ho applied to take a dictation. One was too "nervous" to do the work and the other "expert" was out of practice. A third agreed to do the Job, though "not up" on the typewriter yet. Clerks to be employed In tho enrolling and engrossing rooms have been sworn In and nre now drawing salary, though It will bo days before they have any work to do. The republican legislature two years ago employed clerks to do this work Just as they were needed, and none were sworn in and plated on the pay roll until they ac tually went to work. Some of the Omaha employes have never been seen around the state house without their overcoats on, notwithstanding the extra firemen employed to burn coal keep the temperature of tho building up to 90 or lu constantly. The fact that members of the legislature have to mow a path through the unem ployed employes to get Into the senate and house has had the effect of at least annoy ing some of the democratic members of the Inst legislature, who recall what a business like legislature looks like. They have cen sured the committee on employes for not discriminating In the assignment of work, but the criticism Is usually In a whisper nd very soft. But the half is yet to be told. If this business-like, democratic, economical legis lature has Its way about It there will not be a republican on the pay toll of the state unless he has been elected to office by the people. For Instance, one bill not only puts the clerk of the supreme court on a salary, but leaves It to the governor to se lect most of his help; the Wilson banking bill places the selection of the employes In the hands of the democratic governor; Arthur Mullen wants another democratic deputy olj Inspector; then there is In con templation bills giving the governor au thority to appoint state treasurer exam iners, the state accountant and any other appointments that may be thought of. And In addition. Senator Tanner Intends to punish republican newspapers by chang ing the law so that the governor Instead of the secretary of state shall designate In what papers constitutional amendments shall be published. The fact that the secre tary of state Is the custodian of all legists- Jan. 16 GO NEAR 16th AND FARNAM. 1 It will last but little longer The days of our GREAT HALF-PRICE SALE are num bered.

Ho wants the democratic papers to get the soup, and besides, lie Is the editor of a democratic paper. t The employes' question continues to bother the members of tho majority In the senate, and It Is said a movement Is on foot famong some of the rsore conservative to cut down tho list already appointed, in stead of following the lead of Senator Howell of Douglas, who has sixteen Doua lns county constituents on the payroll al ready, and cutting out the statutory em ployes' limit of forty-nine. The situation promises some lively times before It Is set tled, as a number of radicals object to the manner In which the law has been dis regarded so far, aside from taking steps to increase the number of helpers. As a matter of fact the senate Is ham pered with a list of persons not qualified for the work to perform. Instead of en gaging clerks who might be transferred to the Important duties of committees, the committee on employes has loaded up tha body with a number of custodians and as rlstant broomholders who have the mod ern Idea that a state Job means all pay. When there Is a hurry-up call for expert aid, a horny-handed son of toil presents himself In attention and asks for orders, whereat the senator desiring his services collapses and sets him at work cleaning a committee room. But it appears there Is even an emanci pated order of broomholders and copper cloaners, for today the maddest man In the senate chamber was a custodian who, wl'.h a capltol full of assistants, was unable to find one to put the copper fixtures back by the members' desks. A Douglas county man had been assigned to the work, and then refused to finish It up. so the cus todian was out with a scalping knife, but the state employe at fault Was nowhere to be found, though his salary was going on at a mlle-a-mlnute clip. An Interesting situation was also pie sented by Henry J. Itupprecht, assigned to do duty as a proofreader. Mr. Rupprecht apparently does not know upper case from lower and would not recognize a paragraph mark if he should see It, so he was as signed to hold copy. Today Henry reported to headquarters to learn whether a copyholder was subordinate In position to proofreader and If it was why be had been thus assigned and whether or not he should not have a commission signed with a gilt seal to assure him of bis au thority. The house and senate la meanwhile pick ing out the expert clerks from tha lists and dividing them up as Imperative needs may require and It Is quite likely that some of the other employes may find their abilities Inadequate to the services re quired. The child labor question also baa come to a head in the senate. Truant Officer Davis, after chasing two senate pages through the corridors of the state house and a block from the capltol building, only to lose them, finally resorted to a search of the records In the hope of proving them Ineligible. Their names appeared, but not their ages. The boys were John Majors, nephew of Senator Majors, and Reginald Woodruff, son of L- D. Woodruff, member i of a local printing firm, who furnishes sup- piles to the legislature. Mr. Woodruff says j his boy is not under age. Neither one ap peared for service today and the question i of deciding whether a page works may 1 never be settled. The question of right to remain out of school will come op If the boys report for duty again. One of the bills to be Introduced soon Is aimed to prevent nepotism, it Is a copy of the law at present on the Oklahoma stat utes. It prohibits any executive, legislative 1 tr linlU'l 1 fftn- (rain ir,kl n tt n m . in. position of trust any person related to them even remotely.

SEXATOH AFTEK Mll.LEN'S SCALP KITort to Be Mnde to Prevent His 'nrt rnlHllon. (From a Staff Corespondent.) LINCOLN". Jan. 15. (3peclal.)-Several members of the senate are of the opinion they have authority to confirm appoint ments made by Governor Shallenberger during the si 'slnn of the legislature and they are getting their knives ready. Should these senators bti corieet, and the big chief of the upper houie said they were, Arthur Mullen will have a hard time get ting confirmed as state oil Inspector. Just why the democratic senators are op posed to the appointment of Mullen Is not clear, as he Is one of the most active demo crats In the state, and made a sacrifice In order to take a Job under the governor so as to be near liim when needed for advice and suggestions. For several days last wetk he camped In the office of the gov ernor and undoubtedly no one stands closer to the official ear or has had more Inter views with his excellency. Especially was this true previous to the organization of the house, when it was told around that Mullen was taking a hand In the selection of a speaker. Whatever the rebellious senators may at tempt Mr. Mullen has enough strength to have himself confirmed as oil Inspector If that be necessary.
