stood up In the senate this morning' and
Oared them all to come on. In a hard
fight In whfMi the far-famed mantle of
enatorlal courtesy was torn to shreds, ha
managed to get the committee of the
whole to recommend hla full valuation Mil
' for real estate, senate file No, It, for
paasaa.
Moreover. he succeeded In getting
through along with the full valuation part
of tt a provision exempting all fruit treea
from taxation. .
In answer to accusation that ha waa
trying to put over a single tax measure.
Senator Quinby answered that ha was
simply trying as far aa our antiquated
constitution will permit to exempt thrift
and Industry from onerous burdens.
"You would abolhsh our constitution
attogethor, would you not?" queried Sena
tor Sandal! of York.
"Well, that Is another question." .parried
the single taxer.
Members Inpeamefl.
The large number of amendment offered
to the bill aroused the Ire of Robertson of
Holt, who, always sarcastic, rose to move
that the enacting clause of the bill b
stricken out also.
The Douglas county delegation, much
In favor of the full Valuation bills, of
which Senator Qulnby'a is but one, re
sented tills.
"It is an Insult. to Senator Quinby and
every member of this senate," angrily re
torted Senator Howell.
If the senator from Holt would only
pay attention," said Quinby, "he would
know better what the senate was doing."
What A boat Alfalfa Went
Grace of Harlan suggested that if fruit
growers were to be exempted that 1'alfa
crnwin ahould also be freed from taxa
tion. He said that there were whole sec-1
tlons of land In the southeastern part or
the stata devoted to orchards. Others
seconded his views.
Quinby explained that the constitution
authorled the legislature to exempt fruit
trees, but that it waa not possible to go
further. A motion to Indefinitely post
pone the bill lost. 13 to J7. and the bill
waa recommended for passaf e. , .

Keeping Strings
Upon the Banks
w
(From a Staff Correspondent)
LINCOLN. Feb. . (Speclal.)-The
' committee -of the whole In the house dis
cussed H..R. 1T. by Smith and Slevcra.
permitting the stat . bank to rediscount
notes up to the full amount of their cap
ital and surplus. They are now limited
to two-thirds of thia amount. ,
A committee amendment removing- the
limit on loans, which are now restricted
by law to ten times the capital an) sur
plus, was attacked by several members,
including Messrs. Hoffmeiater and Orr.
They thought thia waa giving' the bank,
era too much of a good thing. ,
"I want to lay that the amendment waa
suggested by Mr. Royse, secretary of the
state banking board." answered ' Mr.
Smith. "It Is his Idea, and not anything
the bankers are asking for." ,
"Isn't Mr. Royse the sams man who
wants us to give him power to limit the
number of banks In a town?" 'asked Mr.
Orr. '
The amendment was baflly beaten. An
other one, sent up by Mr. Reynolds of
Lincoln, making the edUeount limit
three-fourths of capital and surplus,
failed to carry. .. The bill was sent to
third reading.
Senators Kill
Two Measures; One
For Omaha Pensions
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. Feb. 12, (Special.) The sen
ate this morning on thl-d reading Jumped
all over two bills that It had previously
recommended for passage In the commit
tee of the whole. The Mils were Ruhr
man's measure for standard, 8. F. No. M.
and Howell bill to extend pensions to
all the-employes of the city of Omaha,
8. F. No. T.
Both bills lost by a declMve vote. The
lumber bill was veritably snowed under:
Lumbermen Objected to It on the ground
that it would virtually confiscate mil
lions of feet of lumber now In Nebraska
yards. They admit that this lumber Is
not up to full slue, but say that It is not
sold as full size lumber. .
Howell's pension bill did not affect
teachers, policemen, firemen and libra?
employes, as these employee already hare
pensions provided for thenn The pro
JMsed measure would have given all
other employes a similar pension, a cer
tain assessment of their salaries and a
contribution from the general fund of the
city of not less than one and one-half
times as much more. .
There was no particular objection to
the bill In the committee of the whole
and its defeat on third reading was some
thing of a aurprlse.

Stock Food Interests
Object to Regulation
(From a Btaf Correspondent.) . .
LINCOLN. ,eb. 11 (8pecUl.-Several
atock food men appeared before the an
cultural committee of the senate this
morning to protest against the bill now
before tbat committee for consideration.
No particular bill seemed to satisfy them
and they were against them all singly
and severally, . ,..,.,. t
One of them protested against the li
cense charged for handling the food, say
ing that outsiders could come Into the
ttate and sell food of that kind without
paying a license and he did not think tt
right for residents of the state to be
charged for operating a business that out
siders were charged nothing for. .
Senator , Robertson thought the stock
food ")nn had" no kick, .coming, saying;
"they could fU up for IS .cents sufficient
of the staff to sell for $3 or $4 and he
thought that was. doing pretty well Inas
much as the stuff wasn't. worth anything
anyhow." . '
