compliment us upon our good judgment.

Dollen was defeated.
Sugarman's amendment providing for a
recall was changed by the house so that
members df the board may be recalled
under the state law. This amendment
amounts to nothing, because the recall
bill by Norton Js not yet a law and Is
tied up In the senate and may not be
come a law.
Combination In Control.
The stock-yards-water-board lobby had
the bill sewed up tight, and with the
exception of the open meetings and the
publication amendments, none of the num
erous ones offered had a chance of be
ing carried.
The fight for tho combined lobby was
led by Mike Lee and Norton, aided by
Mockett and Reynolds with a word now
and then by Dollen. The amendments
proposed by those who had tne Interest
of tho taxpayers at heart wero offered
by Sugarman and, talks made for them
by Simon. Foster. JilcKlsslck. Anderson.

Mockett and Otil'ehirdsoh of Lancaster

A motion was finally carried that every
emendment be sent to the deik, those not
forthcoming Immediately should not be
considered. The amendments were then
read and hastily dispatched, and some of
them with very IttUe discussion.

opposed the bill and voted for many of
the amendments. The speaker said:
ennnot understand why any democrat
would oppose the, proposition to permit
.the people to vote whether they deslro

and I believe those who favored this
proposition will hear from their constit

file 425, a bill Introduced by Hoagland of
Lincoln, providing for the organisation
of water power districts was passed In
the senate today by a vote of 20 to li
Grotsmnn, Krumbach, Ollls, Smith. Tal-
cott. West and Wols voting no.
Sonata file 423 provides for the publlu
control and conservation of the water
powers of the elate to the Interests of
tho people of the state. Any number of
electors, not less than 100, may file a.
petition with the State Board of Irriga
tion to pass upon the feasibility and en
gineering problem of any power site for
the proposed district. It the state engi
neer reports favorably on the proposition
then a petition Is tiled calling for an eleo-
tlon nnd organisation of the district. A
board of directors manages the district,
but the control of the district is In the
hands of the voters of the district. The
district will oontaln all of the territory
deemed feasible to be served. If after
the district Is formed It Is found that
there Is power enough to furnish outside
the district the district may be enlarged
to take In that territory. The water
power district may tile upon any power
site In the state not already appropriated
under the law existing and that their
rights shall date from the filing.

child. The first proposition called for the
original amount to be expended for a
farm which she should have the use of.
but which should remain the property of

Blount preferred the 15.000 In cash to the
use of the farm, and the claim was so
recommended.
