Nebraska
MAY ENACT NEW
STATE LAW TO LET
SOLDIERS VOTE
Neville ' Considering Calling
Special Session to Take Action
on Nation-Wide Prohibi-
tion and Sufrage.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
Lincoln, Jan. , 27 (Special) Ac
cording to responses receive by A.
E. Sheldon, director of the legislative
reference bureau, but two states, Mis
souri and Wisconsin, f , have called
special sessions of the legislature to
amend the state laws' to allow sold
iers to vote. To datae seven replies
have been received, Illionis, Wyom
ing, Iowa, Colorado and South Dako
ta, in addition to the the two states
first mentioned.
Here in Nebraska the question is
unsettled. Governor Neville7 is ser
iously considering the matter of call
ing the members back not only to
enact a law 'which will allow the
soldiers from Nebraska to vote, but
to take action on national wide pro
'hibition and suffrage. The session
might take up the matter of the pre
i sent alien law, if the governor should
' incorporate that proposition in the
call.
According to the answers heceived
from Wyoming, that state has no law
permitting the soldiers outside the
state to vote and there appears to be
little discussion of the matter.
Iowa had a ' Commission on the
border to collect soldier votes during
the Mexican trouble, but the law
covering that emergency r ould not
be adequate to meet the.1 situation
now as regards the boys in France,
as returns could not be made in time
to comply with the law.
Colorado Has no law permitting its'
soldiers to vote (Outside the state and
J not likely to call an extra session
Tfor the purpose of enacting any law
of that kind. -
In Illinois there is no talk, of a
special session and if soldiers' can
vote, which seems to be doubtful,
under .the two statutes of the state
they cannot vote from France on ac
' coiint of the time limit. '
The present Missouri law allows
only national . guardsmen in federal
service to vote. A special session
probobly will be called ir March to
arrange for the voting of the Mis
souri men, if the legislature sees fit.
South. Dekota has a voting by mail
k'w that would let the soldiers vote,
but returns by mail would have to
be in in five days. A special session
of the legislature is contemplated for
only home guard organization.
The governor of Wisconsin has
already called a special session of the
.legislature to meet February 19 to
amend the present law of that state
so that all soldiers outside the state
ms.y vote. 1

Ruling of Land Com -v
missioner.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
Lincoln, Jan. 27. (Special.) Land
Commissioner Shumway has served
notice on the Nebraska Material conw
pany, a corporation which holds a
lease on Capital Beach lake. near Lin
coln, for the purpose of removing the
sand-and gravel in the bottom of the
lake, that it must cease taking the
deposits from the lake, because the
lake is situated on state school lands
and is under a sale contract, which
provides that nothing of value shall
be taken from land under sale con
tract -as long as the state has an
equity in the lands.
The land- originally sold under a
sale contract to Alleij S. Burrows,
who now live? in penison, Tex. He
assigned th contract to J. A. Buck
staff, who built a cement dyke across
the valley and. formed what is now
known as Capital lake, and which has
been developed into a pleasure re
sort. ,Soon after the death of Mr.
Buckstaff a valuable deposit of first
class sand for building, and a valua
ble deposit of gravel were discovered
under the lake. 'The Nebraska Ma
terial company obtained a lease on
the lake and has been taking out large
. f .
quantities oi material, a recent con
tract given for 300,000 yards of sand
and gravel for building in Lincoln

make the move.

m 1911, and expires in 1921. One-
tenth of the sale contract" price has
Deen paid and the interest paid, each
year, i rrctull amount is due at the

Bryan Forces Worried by v
Maneuvers of "Boss" Mullen
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
Lincoln, Jan. 27. (Special.) While
indications pointed the first of the
week to a possible eettine toeether
of the Bryan and anti-Bryan forces
in the democratic party, publication
of the same evidently soilled the
beans for there is every evidence now
that the lull in the storm was only a
letting up of the forces on both sides
in an effort to feel out the other fel-.
lows.
The recent visit to Washington of
Arthur Mullen, who was supposed to
have carried .to his chief, Senator
Hitchcock, the tidings that the Bryan
forces- were ready to make"" peace
terms, is now believed by the Bryan
people to have been a ruse to cover
the tracks of the "oolitical nirate"
while he was gaining time to make
the plans for the annihilation of the
Bryan forces.
It is known that Charles W. Bryan
and Lieutenant-Governor Howard
have been watching the maneuvers
of the democratic national committee
man very closely, which indicates
that they have not much confidence
in any move he may make for polit
ical peace in the democratic party. .
They have been heard to, say that
there could- be no peace that carried
with it the giving up of any of the
rights which they imagine, an all
wise Providence has bestowedvUpon
them.

Fertilizer in State ef
Nebraska.
Lincoln, Neb.,, Jan. 27. Nitrate of
soda will be supplied to the farmers
of Nebraska at cost under the food
control act. C W. Pugsley, director
of the agricultural extension service,
has been named in Nebraska to handle
its sale.
Any farmer or gardener bay obtain
it for cash through his county agent,
or in cases where the county has no
agricultural agent, the extension service-at
Lincoln will supply it direct.
Tests made on a number of farms
indicate that , at prevailing prices it
does not give sufficiently increased
crop production. Farms which have
been under cultivation a long time as
truck gardens make ready use of it.
The agricultural extension service will
advise with farmers regarding its use.
The extension service points out
that the best fertilizer for use in Ne
Braska is manure. Well-rotted man
ure can always be used, the quantity
depending of course on the rainfall. If
fresh manure is used, the amount will
depend on the type of soil and the
normal amount of rainfall.
