LINCOLN. March K. Special 1
Though the house lies only thirteen more
days and its general file contains about
1'HO biliK. with more in Ihe hand of lbs
committee, there Ik no doubt every biU
can be acted upon if the precedent nl
lowed toduj becomes the rstablibhed cus
tom. Imrtng the aTternoon the house got t!re
of reading bills clear through when they
came up for pasHa. so the chief clerk
simply read the title and I4en an
nounced :
"Anybody want this hill reafl"
IT silence was the answer the roil waa
called.
The constitution provides that all bill
shall be read at large on three different
days Some of the measures passed 10
day have born road through only once
in the committee of the whole It fre
guently happens that bills are shot over
the head of the committee of the whole.
If that was the case with any of the
measures passed today it means they hse
not been read at all to the house. As a
matter of fact. bfUs are usually read only
twiot, once in the committee of the whole
and once when they come up for pBBBage.
The firrt and second time the bills are
read by title oiily. But this Is tlie first
time, bo far us anyone could recall, that
bills have been passed without being read
at lean Just bclore tbe roll called on tlie
measure..
In the committee of the whole the bouse
this afternoon punned 011 the salary an
proprlatiou bill, adding a auction which
provided that all oflicea shall Ire open rfotn
I o'clock In the morning until t c clock In
tbe afternoon for the transaotlon or bnsl
ness. Tills means that the orfir.es will have
to lie kept open during, the noon hour. Most
of the offices are now ready for the trsns
actlon of business at B o'clock In the morn
ing, but complaint has been made by lr
sons out In the stale thai ffretjuently ebry
come to the state house and find no one
on hand from 12 o'clock to I whs is capable
10 attend to business. The amendment was
proposed by 0P0I of Johnson county and it
a-as adopted with no prolest. No penally,
however, was attached for a failure on
the part of 7he officers to comply.
I.mie Tlsse m Sialary Bill.
The committee of the whole waded
through the salary appropriation bill aith
little troiitile.. The salary of the secretary
j ,0 the Slate Board of Charities and mrrec-
tious was cut from Sl.zoo to S7II0 a year.
Jerry Howard fied to ttecure an amend
ment providuig that clerk ie supplied lhe
state labor bureau with a salary of II.imio
iiiste d of s Bienofriuiiher at P-e"i a ycti.
Rut not a Bingle memlvr of this house.,
which wa jileilged to the cause of labor,
as Jeremiah reminded them, stood frr the
amendment or even olferod a senord 10 Hie
motion. So the labor bunia-u a-il! pro'eed
le get along wiui a depuiy and a stenog
rapher. The fii.ance committee reported the sal
ary of the stenographer to the state vet
erinarian at H2 a year, but Brown of
Laucu ster secured the adoption of an
amendment providiii the pay should lie
SH44I. tlie same as otliur BtenogTapbers in
1 the state hiwae.
