Helps Use Up the
Appropriation.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Dec IS. (Special.)-It I- bo
Ing to cost tho state of Nebraska a.
pretty little sum to have Its laws put In
nape by tho coda commission.
The session of the legislature of 1911
appropriated $20,000 for the purpose of
having the laws of the stato revised.
The committee, consisting of Judge Post !
of Columbus. Judge King of Osceola, and ,
Judge Broady of Lincoln, completed their,
work and reported to the legislature. It
was then found that there was a defi
ciency over and above tho S30.000 voted
by the legislature due the Stato Journal
company for printing additional matter,
for the most part due to the Insurance
code, of J332D.8I. Also another of $1,024
back rent for otflco room for the com
mission. It was also discovered that It
would require $31,000 more to get tho laws
In shape for publication, nnd that amount
was voted by the legislature nnd tho
same committee continued.
Just now It Is understood that most Of
that money has been expended, counting
the J15.000 necessary to have the laws
printed, and that tho next legislature will
probably be called on to vote a deficiency I
i-lalm to square up the deal.
Aildttlonnl Tlni Provided.
Each member of the commission was.
U bo paid a month to prepare the
new lawB for tho printer, and were given
eight months to complete the work and
additional time If necessary. They were
also given full authority Cor the payment
of the claims presented for the work.
Offices wero rented in a downtown office
building, and since May l'work has been
going ono preparing the copy for, the
printer.
Besides the three commissioners, who
receive $250 a month to prepare the work,
V. K. Post, a son of Judge Post, who
formerly drew $3) a month as an assist
ant to his father In preparing the laws
for a report to the legislature, has this
year been drawing $100 a month as a
"codlfler." After working as assistant
to his father last year on the same work,
he secured a place as chief clerk of the
engrossing room of the senate at $3 a
day, and held that job until tho present
Job at $100 a month was ready. In addi
tion to Mr. Broady there has been an
expert "lndexer" from Ohio at work at
$225 a month, while sivernl stenographers,
proofreaders and other clerks have as
sisted In the work.
According to one of the commissioners
the work of annotating tho statutes was
completed September 1, but tho work
of Indexing has kept the force at work.
With the exception of Mr. .Broady, who
has been on the Job most ot th time
the other two commissioners have been
able to attend to their private practice
and come to Lincoln whenever necsssary
to look over the, work done by the clerks.
Already $13,670 has been spent of the ap
propriation. The $16,000 which It la esti
mated it will be necessary to pay the
State Journal for printing the statutes,
with the vouchers not already audited
to pay clerks for this month's work will
probably complete tho appropriation.
Just how long tho commissioners will
find it necessary to "supervise" the work
or for the "annotator" to continuing
"annotating" at so much per "annotate"
Is not known, but it begins to look as If
somebody was expecting to keep on the
Job until the books are printed.
The question naturally arises as to why
to progressive a legislature as the last
one should dump 130,000 Into the hands
of a commission and allow them like the
little milt stream, to go on and on for
ever, with no restriction as to It's pay
ment and unlimited power to draw
vouchers for help.
Contract for Printing.
The contract for the printing of the
r.ew statutes calsl for the delivery of
tho first 1.000 volumes by January 15 and
It Is probable that they will be ready. Tho
iew book will contain something over
",6f.0 laws of a general nature, not count
ing appropriation laws. When the books
are printed, If there is no deficiency
treated, each law will have cost tho
about 522 to be recodified and put In
tOiarc.
BARNEY RAUSKOLB, UNIQUE
AUBURN CHARACTER, DIES
x f'RTTRV. Neb.. Dec. 15.-8pec!al.)-
Tho funeral of Barney Rauskolb Sunday i
was largely attended and Interment was
at Sheridan cemetery. Mr. Rauskolb died
a few days ago from what was termed
quick consumption. The passing of Bar
ney Ttauskolf removes an unique char
acter. He was the son of Jacob Raus
kolb. a pioneer saloon keeper of Brown
vllle, and later for a long time in the
jarne business in this place. Barney was
practically brought up In a saloon and
often said he knew no other home. It
was his boast that he had never tasted
liquor or tobacco, and nory of his friends'
over knew him to touch either. He
could never understand that it was wrong
to soli liquor with or without a license,
and during the times the town was dry
was often arrested for the sale of
liquor, and the fines wlpfid out all his
accumulations, and he died almost desti
tute. It was often remarked that Barnoy
had only one vice or fault, and that was
he could not keep from selling Intoxicat
ing liquors. In every other way he was
a good citizen and was well respected.
He Is survived by a brother, Jacob
Rauskolb, of llcCook, Neb., who attended
the funeral.
