WELFARE COMMISSION BILL

Antnnnt Set Apnrt for
LINCOLN. Not., April 6.-(Rpoclat.)
After one of tho hardest fights evor
waged against s. WH, houso roll No. 421
lms reached the senate, where tt Is said
to be slated for the same opposition that
It met In the lower houso. The bill, In
troduced by Norton, creates tho Nebraska
Consrvatlon and Public Welfare com
mit. on and has for Its purpose the de
velopmtnt of the state and the giving of
publicity to useful facts regarding tho
state, tho facts to bo based on accurate
surveys). tn&do tndcr( llie supervision of
tho commission. ' ' '
Though tho bljl has never been attacked
on lis morlts.-'li hBji.boen made the target
for misrepresentation. The real purpose
of tho bill wan understood by tho ma
jority o' tho houso- and when tt enmo up
for final passage so strong was tho senti
ment for It that only three votes were
recorded In tho nogatlve, two on account
of the mtJLgerneas of the 'appropriation.
Friends of tho bill In tho senate ore
watching with Intercut for tho samo op
position and ar6 hoping that the oppon
ents will come out and fight In the open.
Bui If the opposition employs the same
tactic that It did among tho houso mem
bers, there Is Utile probability of a fair
fight against tho bill. .
Amottfj those who have tho Inlertst of
i- -,t h'n-t. hou roll No. 423 Is
regarded as progressive, constructive and
noi.ti asun ttiunft sentiment exists
that the bill should be amended so It wilt
carry $25,000 fof tho blannlum, an amount
which would onoble the commission to
work effectively. This amount waS
agreed upon and friends of Uie bill felt
that they had the. assurance of such an
amount In tho recommendation of the
flnanco committee of the house. The ap
propriation was cut to 15.000, an amount
which will not enable tho commission to
do tho work In as broad a manner an
desired.

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, April O.-(0poclal.) The
5,000 Water board lobbyist has a scheme
by which ho expects to pull the wool
over the eyes of the members of tho
houso and secure favorable action on his
discredited and thoroughly dtsplcablo
Omnha water district bill. Ho has
prepared an amendment which will be
offered In the committee of tho whole by
Friday Friday Norton of Polk, or Six
Dollar a Day Mike Loe. This amend
mont provides that after tho water dls
trlct has been created and tho people
havo tried It out they will bo pcrmltcd
upon a petition signed by 15 por cent of
tho voters at the next general election
on the question of whether thoy want n
water district.
This amendment will bo offered to off
set minority report of tho standing com
mlttce.'that boforo tho district Is created
tho people of tho several communities In
terested shall voto on the proposition at
a special or general election. Lobbyist
Howell wants to saddle tho district on
ttho , people first and then give them a
cnanco to crawl out from under If they
can.- He hopes to bo. able to bufld up a
1potltl6at 'machine with tho unlimited
power they will havo under tho bill to
control tho situation onco thoy got the
district established.

they will voto their honest convictions or

If a majority of the house voto their

It Is probable the measure will come up

Thoso who know tho paper predict
It will reverse Itself on anything, or do

The only relief given to anyone under
tho bill, except of course, tho Water
board, is the relief given to the South
Omaha stock yards which Mr, Howell ex
pects to help him pass the bill. This Is

HALL DEFENDS DODGE BILL
Says There is No Joker in Senate
File No. 107.
OUTSIDE INFLUENCES AT WORK
Former Senntor Snjn thnt ft Study
of Jnnkln Antt-Trast "111 Up
liolil Ills Position on
Mensnre.
(From a Staff Correspondent)
LINCOLN, April 6. (Spcciat.)-An ef
fort Is being made In the house by out
siders to bring about the defeat of senate
file No. 107, Introduced by Dodge of
Douglas. This bill relieves foreign Insur
ance companies of filing reports with
both the attorney general and the state
auditor, but provides that reports shall
bo filed only with the latter. However,
If the attorney general desires Informa
tion as to the companies, they are obliged
to give him data requested. Those who
are fighting the bill insist that It con
tains a Joker In relieving the Insurance
companies from filing, an undertaking,
which makes each director an officer per
sonally responsible for the action of the
company.,
Ex-Senator Matthew A. Hall insists
those who hold this view have not studied
tho Junkin anti-trust laws of the state.
Ho insists the bill relieves Insurance com
panies of absolutely nothing except the
burden of filing an additional report
which other corporations are not required
to do.
To prove his statement ho quotes sec
tion 12,036 of Cobby's statutes, which is
left intact, as follows:
Ex-Senator Unit's Stntement.
"Any president, director, treasurer, of-
floer, corporator, copartner, associate or
agent of such corporation. Joint stock
cmpany or other association who shall in
Its behalf do anything by this act pro
hibited to such corporation, Joint stock
company, or other association, or who
shall support, vote for, aid and abet or
take part in 'doing such action by said
corporation. Joint stock company or other
association, -or any Instrumentality
thereof, shall be liable to the penalties
by this act provided."
Mr. Hall quotes several other sections
Of the present law to show that those
who have an Idea that his bill contains
a Joker, aro wrong. He says:
Sec, 12040: That every president,
treasurer, general 'manager, ugent or
other person usually exercising the pow.
era of such officers of any corporation,
Joint stock comoany. or other nssoclntlon
who has himself In Its behalf violated.
united to violate, or voted for, or con
sented to the violation of any of the
provisions of this act shall here alter bo
personally liable for all the debts nn'l
obligations of any such corporation. Joint
siock company, or .other association
created while such nerson holds such
office or agency, whether under the saiuo
or suDsequent elections or appointments.

of law, If sub-division g was to ne en

the act In the slightest degree w far as
Its legal effect Is concerned.
Insurance Men Ilesponslble.
Senate File 167, leaves the Insurance
companies to file In the auditor's office
annually everything required by law,
and docs relieve them from the Incidental
effect of the court's final decision, which
makes them file In two separate offices
something never Intended by the legJa
lature. The trust provision of the Junkin act
are left Intact, and are not affected by
the bill, and under such trust provisions,
If the Information filed by the companies
in tho auditor's orflce, is not satisractory
to the attorney general, or If he desires
more Information of any kind whatever,
then he has tho power, and so has the
auditor, to demand any and all Informa
tion, which he desires, and If that In
formation be not fortcomlng, the com
pany's license to do business may be
revoked.
No "Teeth" In Measure.
There Is no "Joker" or "teeth" In sen
ate file No. 187, but the bill Is a simple
measure of Justlco to the foreign In
surance companies, by requiring them to
file where the legislature Intended In
one office! and the bill does not In the
slightest degree affect or deBtroy the
"personal responsibility feature o fthe
law," as stated In your article last even
ing, nor does the bill take away any of
the power now possessed by the attorney
general.
In order to verify every statement I
have made herein, it Is only necessary
to read carefully the provisions of the
Junkin act and the amendment of one
line proposed by senate file No. 167.
