LEGISLATORS FACE
WORK WITHOUT PAY
Members Wish to Sidetrack All
Bills Except Few and Fin
ish Work This Month.
FEW MEASURES PASSED
(From a Staff CorrfSDOmlvnt.l
Lincoln, March 5. (Special.)
"What shall we do to be saved," is
;i problem which is beginning to dwell
in the minds of many members of the
present legislature just as it has both
i cred members of other legislatures in
llie past. "Hour by hour thfc days
arc flitting; soon we'll get no pay for
sitting" is a mighty tough way to
serve one's country in a legislative ca
pacity, and as a consequence the
"everything going out and nothing
coming in" proposition is beginning
to stare them in the face.
Already there is a strong scntimenf
that if the members really want to da
so they can pass alt legislation of a
state-wide nature .and close up shop
and get home before April Fools' day.
Several, members were discussing
the matter Sunday and one of them
said that there were not more than
half a dozen bills left of state-wide
importance. These could just as well
be disposed of in the next two weeks
as not. Another favored springing
a proposition to have the refer. -nee
bureau sift out the bills. .Another
flavored the appointment of not more
than three members as a sifting com
mittee, members who had no espe
cially important bills and those who
perhaps had the least number of bills,
who should sift out the most impor
tant measures and let them be dis
posed of immediately.
Somehow there is a feeling about
the legislature .that this session is not
accomplishing much of real important
legislation. Few bills have reached
the governor, less than hali a dozen.
Vet there are over 1,1(XI bills to be
disposed of in one way or another.

FREMONT NORMAL
DP TO LEGISLATURE
Committee Which Visited the
School Saturday Seems Di
vided on Purchase Issue.
OLLIS SUGGESTS SUBSIDY
(Prom a Staff Correspondent.)
Lincoln, March 5. (Special.) The
proposition of what to do with the
Fremont Normal college, which has
been offered to the state at' a price
not to exceed $165,000, is a matter
which the legislature will have to set
tle. The finance, ways and means iotn
mittec of the house reported ad
versely last week on the appropria
tion. The Committee visited the nor
mal school Saturday at the request
of the Fremont people, but it is said
that they are not very anxious to
take over the property.
Chairman Reischick saj s tjjat the
same conditions exist in the normal
buildings which friends of the new
state house bill object to in the pres
ent state house, that the corridors are
narrow and poorly lighted and the
building far from up to modern con
ditions. Suggests Bonus for School.
Chairman OHis of the education
committee is of the ouinion that the
best interests of normal school teach
ing in the state would be conserved
by having the institution at Fremont
remain a private school and that the
stale could best serve the interests of
normal school training by an appro
priation sufficient to meet the needs
of the school each year. He believes
that Mr. Clemmons, who has been
at the head of the school so long, has
donciore for normal training than
any man in the state through the Fre
mont .Normal and that the state owes
him a whole lot, hut he thinks that
taking over the school would not be
the bcsl thing for the state. .
Conley Favors Purchase.
On fhe other hand Representative
Conley favors the purchase. Mr.
Conley owns a business college at
Fairbury, but he thinks that a state
school for purely business teaching
is needed and he does not fear that
it would harm his school ;,t all. "Half
the failures in business life," said Mr.
Conley, "are due to the fact that the
owner of the business had no prac
tical method of bookkeeping and
much of the success of business lies
in the proper keeping of books of !he
firm."
