In discussing the proposed removal of
the tntverslty of Nebraska, to a new
campus on the state farm at Lincoln, the
message says:
In fact, there are only five buildings
on the city campus that can lay claim to
any degree of permanency or are modern
and up-to-date in their equipment. These
five buildings are the unlvrslty library
building and the two buildings north
thereof, and the new building now being
erected tor the law school and these
five buildings are of such a character
that they could be used to advantage by
the state for the purpose of bousing wm
other Institution, together with the col
egcs of law and medicine, should the
university be removed from the present
(ampus, for by reason .of location, the
rolleges mentioned should be left where
thev are.
The amount of money necessary to
p irrbase real estate to annex to the city
tamnus would practically erect as many
new buildings out at the farm as we now
have of old and worthless ones here
upon the campus and which must In the
very near future "be replaced by modern
fire-proof structures.
The buying of a few blocks of ground
at enormous expense here in the city
would at the most be only a temporary
expenditure and would not solve , the
problem for all time to come. The re
placing of these old buildings by' new
one, and the additional amount ot real
state bought would mean an outlay ot
l,0eo,O approximately, and that would
not even settle the question. This
amount of money expended In new build
ings at the farm would make, an Institu
tion of greater Importance and better
equipment by many fold Ihsn It Is at the

In discussing the matter of workmen's
compensation, the governor says he un
derstands the commission ho appointed
will present majority nnd minority re
ports. "I have seen neither of these re
ports," he Says, "and hal-e no Informa
tion hs to- the recommendation to be
made," nnd then lie sdvlsed that the
Washington law he adopted for Nebraska.
In the matter of the routine work of
the state offices, he recommends a gen
era! cutting down of office forces, the
abandonment of systems of keeping rec
ords which he declares are "antiquated,"
and suggests that a saving of 10o,X a
year Is possible by making changes
needed. The legislature Is recommended
to name a committee to Investigate. The
message concludes with the suggestion
that, the legislature be efficient and not
partisan. ft

Norton's Motion Passes Conrernlnir
Commuter Distribution. .
(From a Btaff Correspondent.)
LINCOTiN, Jan. 9. -(Special.)-Tho dem
ocratic majority gave the republican
minority to undorstund distinctly this
morning that It Intends to maniig'n tho af
fairs of the house and neither argument,
pleadings or threats vslll have nny effect
on this decision.
It all carao about when Mockatt of lin
caster called up ills resolution covering
the matter of republican representation
on the standing committees. Mockett's
resolution provided' that the number of
members of nny committee should be
dlvld) by two after one hail ben taken
from tho total. This would give tlio ma
Jority ,nnn more member of tho several
committees than tho republicans. Well'
the democrats would not standrror this a
moment, though most of tho now; mem
bers took ndvantnge of tho opportunity
to deliver some well prepared orations In
behalf of the people and tholr tax-paying
constituents.
Norton of Polk moved an amendment
to tho resolution to glvo the republicans
a two-fifths representation on all stand
ing committees. Hp explained that at the
first of every session tho motions mails
during the preceding session wero copied
and Introduced and' tlmt Mockett hart
simply copied his resolution from the
Journal of tho last house. Mockett, In
fact, he said, was simply following a
precedent.
Knock for Politicians,
Hlcliardson of I.uncuster made a., talk
for a business session of the house .and
strongly advised against any uctlon which
would look like any one belonged to any
political party.
Bollen of Knox told the members how
tho democratic party hail placed u light
on tho dome of the capltol, which would
beam out today and shod Its rays In
every aark corner of tho state and that
on March i another bright light would bu
placed on tho top or tho capltol at Wash
Ington. which would shed Its ruys Into
every dark place In the I'nlted States,
and a few other things like that, which
caused Corbiu of Johnson to Inform the
house that back in 18r th democrats
hung tip another lantern In Washington,
wnicit snod Its light Into all the dark f Klechel of Nemuha, Ollls of alley and
places of the country to such an extent ' Talcott of Knov, Hoagaml of Lincoln
that four years later the people tumbled 1 county, who made the motion for the up
over themselves to elect a republican ' polntment of the committee, wim left oft
president, and ever since then It had been I at his own request.
aemonsuTaiea mat the republican party i
was
the only party which Is able to runinFATLI OF PAIII N ACU

the affttl
a bunch of democrats yelled to the
speaker that the gentleman from Johnson I
was out of order because he was not
peaking to the question before the house,
"I.aiitrrna itnU Mi'h."
Speaker Kelley so held, to which Cor
bln retorted:
"Neither was the gentleman when he
was hanging lanterns over the stato house
dome."
This brought great applause from th
republicans and some laughter and some
scowls from the majority, especially the
serious minded ones,
Mockett rolled attention to the fact
that the house provided for forty-four vr
forty-rive committees and tinder his
ptopoiltiou the democrats would have 121
pUces and the republicans 1T7 placet.
That would mako more than four com
mittee assignments for each democrat.
The democrats would aao have forty-flvo
chalrma'.-shlpe, he explained, but It had
no effect. Then he raised tho ire of the
democrats by asking them ir they were
afraid that seven republicans on a com
mittee of fifteen would be able to man
age the eight democrats.
Anderson of, Kearney broke In long
enough to demand that tha house bo oi
ganlxed along business lines, but some
how no one seemed to know Just what
was a business line, so th edebate .waxed
warm and furious.
Crontn of Holt said when Norton was
In the minority., he .wanted . an equal
division of assignments.
(joes Into History.
Bollen called attention to the session of
1901. when Mockett Was speaker. In
which the speaker named the conimlttts,
there being threo democrats nnd 'eight
republicans cn the Judiciary committee,
Mockett replied to this by aaylug- thnt

against that session and It was a iln.e
