The Celebration of j
State's Anniversary
From a Plnff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN Jan. 2. (Special.) Begin
ning with a quotation from ex-Frpsidoiit
William Howard Taft, (ieneral John J
Webster of Omaha, president of the Ne
braska State Historical society, makes
his report to the governor of the work
of the society during the last two years.
Quoting from the ex-presldent. General
Webster says:
"If you want to conceal , any fact you
could not do better than to put It into
official reports to congress."
Genernl Webster Is of the opinion the
same conditions exists regarding reports
made to the governor by the different
institutions and organizations of the
state.
According to the report. In addition to
the li.coo voted by the last legislature
for marking the Oregon trail through the
state, Jl.3a.tt additional was contributed
from prlvato sources. This has all been
spent in an effort to do the work and It
is nearly completed.
The report calls attention to the fact
that March 1, 117, will be the fiftieth an
niversary of the birth of the state, and
he believes steps should be taken for a
fitting celebration of that event. General
Webster calls attention of the needs of
the society of a building suitable for the
society and the storing of Its valuable
records and reenmmends an appropria
tion sufficient to complete one or two
stories of the building already started at
sixteenth and II, near the state house
grounds.

of. The announcement this morning that
Colonet Moupin had notified the governor j wn(cn amends the old. the former being

of thunder out of a clear sky. The Idea
that a democrat would refuse an office
was more than the assembled legislators
and office seekers about the hotels could
understand, and "BUI" was looked upon
with mingled feelings of suspicion and
alarm.
However. Maupln stuck to his assertion
and says that there Is "nothln' doln'." It

and seeks to enlighten the members as
to the real cause of extravagance. He
says In part:
I do not wish to obtrude my opin
ions upon my fellow members, but I
wish It distinctly understood that I
am willing to defer to the potential
democrat leaders of the house who
I earnestly desire to organize along lines
" that will bring thepest results. I

shall strive to the best of my ability
to assist the members in carrying o
I a nolle of retrenchment and efficient I
for which there is such a universal de
mand. I have gone on reoord In favor of a
sixty-day session. I think we should
not have to run the' clock back at this
session to accommodate belated bills,
in the business affairs of life, Import
ant work Is always done first, and this
rule should ha applied to the legis
lature. Means and methods should be
employed to facilitate a thorough con
sideration of the most important meas
ures, so that we maybe all cleaned up
and ready to adjourn when the constitu
tional time has been reached.
Matter of Flararea.
It is a simple matter to figure that
It costs the lower house a Jo bill for
ach and every minute it Is In ses
sion. This mearra that every minute
lost is to wasted, - and I believe an i
have always believed, that the speaker,
more than any other man, la In posi
tion to make every minute count while
the house is In session. I have'snen
the presiding officer of the house per
mit a rag-cnewing muicn among gar-
lous members about accepting an In-
allon to some social function for
half an hour thirty minutes at V per
minute when one stroke of the ravel
would have left the matter to be set
tled In another way and saved the neat
sum or luu to the taxpayers. I nave
seen, as we ail have, earnest members
paw the air for one hour at a 16 a min
uteabout some silly sentiment not at
all germalne to the subject, and en
lirely out of order under the rules
another 1300 wasted. And we have all
seen also those patriotic statesmen
who denounce with bitterness the em
ployment of a few additional employes
we have all seen these same states
men march into a committee room, close
their eyes, set their Jaws, and vote for
some worthless cause or custom a sum
large enough to pay all the employes that
1. .-ould be herded into the state house.
Desire Only Good.
In seeking the speakership, I have but
one ambition, and that la to Join my
fellow legislators in an earnest effort to
make good. The democratic party is in
the majority, and the people will iiold
Its leadeis, and its newspapers, who havo
promised a reform program, strictly ac
countable for Its acts, and the record it
makes will go down in history to tile
credit or the discredit of the party in
power.
I repeat my Intention, therefore, to
Join with democrat leaders In an earnest
effort to mske a record of economy and
efficiency which will reflect credit upon
the party and upon the legislature as a
whole. The utmost cars should be exer
cised In making the appropriations, o
that the state's money will be spent to
the very beat advantage. Appropriation
