THE BEE: OMAHA. FRIDAY, APRIL 28. 1911. 3 f i J Nebraska I LAWS FOUND TO BE DEFECTIVE Attorney General Martin Diyovers Discrepancy In Assessor Lawi. CODIFYING COMMISSION MEETS paalafc Wif Veteran Gather I i ratty Professor Scoffs at War. (Prom a Staff Corespondent.) LINCOLN. April tl. fSpeclsl.)-refcts have been found by Attorney Oeneral Mar tin In two of the laws which wti passed at the recent session of the legislature, These are the two asRPMors' measures, H. R. t and 11. The former, which was passed with the emergency clause, pro vides that precinct assessors shall he elected In 19M1 and every two y ars there after, while the other bll provides for the lection of such officers In 1912 and every two years thereafter. The discrepancy In the two laws, due to their conflicting pro visions, will have to be met and one of the arts Invalidated, by reason of the con flicting provisions In the two. Both were approved on the same day and there la some doubt aa to which will go on the statute books. Attorney General Martin la preparing to go Into the malt-r In Je tail and make racommnndatlorls In regard to the matter within the next few days. Codlfytna; CobdiImIoi Ready. The commission recently appointed by Govern or Aldrlch to recodify the statutes and consisting of of Judge A. M. Post of SC. L. King and J. H. Broady met for the first time today. The meeting was in the nature of an Informal conference and no definite plan of proceeding with the work was adopted. The hunt for offices wherein to carry on their work was the leaillng question Under consideration by the mem bers 'of the board. It is probable that another room will have to be fitted out for the occupancy of the comnilslon before the matter Is ended as tho present capacity of the capital building Is taxed almost to' the utmout. The commission plans to select Judge Post aa head and J. H. Broady as secre tary. Aa there Is an appropriation of 10,000 at the disposal of the commission. It Is probable that there will be a secretary chosen and aa many stenographers as is deemed advisable by the members to carry on the work. Spanish W rVeterans Gather. The total registration of Spanish war veterans who attended the two days' re union held here reached more than 800 before noon today. The transaction of miner business occupied the attention of the soldiers most of the day until four o'clock when they marched to the State University campus and were honor guests at a special dress parade put on by the university cadet regiment. Afterwards the men were escorted back to their hotel by the cadets, led by the university band. This evening the . banquet which closed ' the reunlon was held at the Llndell. Former Adjutant Oeneral J. K. Hartigan of Falrbury presided as toastmaster and W. T. Coatea of Omaha,' State Senator E. B, Place, F. R. Riley of Falrbury and Governor Aldrlch presided. W. R. JllLson of Crete read an original poem entitled, "The First Nebraska." iUh, Tsh, for" This Alleged War. Prof. Edwin. Maxey of " the state uni versity, and a recognised authority on In ternational relations, ' In a talk at convoca tion this morning described the present Mexican trouble as "interesting, but not serious." Supporting bia contention the university man asserted that none of the Mexican stocks bad fallon on the markets and that aa capital la known to be un , usually timid the surest Indication that there U little significance to the affair la that Investors have failed to withdraw their money from Mexloan securities. "It la by no means certain that the Mexi can people are In a condition to warrant granting them ail of the rights and privil eges guaranteed to them by the written constitution of the republic," said Prof. Maxey. "It la generally estimated that four- fifth of the people In Mexico can neither read nor write. The history of democratic republics show that a wide diffusion of a considerable amount of Intelligence Is es sential to their conttBuance. Under these condition It 1 generally .doubted whether Mexico la ready for universal suffrage, and other demooratlo methods of government which are written Into It constitution, but i which ars not In practice, allowed the peo ple by the Plai government." Referring to the movement of United States troops. Prof. Maxey discounted the statements of the press relative to fear of Japanese Influence on the Mexican coast. "Unless we presume that the officials of the United tSates are liars, that the offi cials of Mexico are liars, and that the of ficials of Japan are liars, we cannot hold to that view, for all of them have denied It. When a more simple explanation Is offered, and this is so emphatically denied. we may well accept It" Hear? Richmond Boa? on Joarnal Chief Clerk H. C.
