eral Robert K. Eans, temporarily com
manding the eastern department of the
army, in a report to Secretary Garrison
today denied he criticised the adminis

ward it to the president, on whom further

LINCOLN. July 2.-(Sn-clal.)-The final
report of the Joint committee appointed
by tho last session of the legislature to
frame a new scheme for running the leg
islature and abandoning tho old (.ystem
has Just been received from the printer.
Among the recommendation is one for
cutting down the committees In thn sen
ate from forty-two to twenty-seven, with
139 members Instead of 555. The house
should he cut down to twenty-eight com
mittees Instead , of forty-seven, with a
membership of 2K Instend of 49fi. Em
ployes of the senate are cut to twenty-six
Instead of seventy-one nnd of the hous
thirty-one Instead of seventy-one. It Is
claimed that this will reduce the "cost of
Irgltlatlve living" In the house from WO,
tts to JS.4G0 and in the senate from J2I.50J
to $tM.
The above are the most Important
changes recommended for Immediate
action.
Action for tho future Includes the abol
ishment of one body of the legislature to
number somewhere, between the repre
sentation In tho senate and house at the
prrcnt time and that the state should
bo redlstrlcted according to population.
A submission of this proposition to the
people by a referendum vote Is recom
mended. Civil Rrrrler rternmmmtlrrt .

cations shall not figure In the selection.
