Nebraska SOLONS DISCUSS IIOftlE GUARD NEED ;- FOR UNIFORMS Decry Acts of Citizens Who Spread-Yellow Paint on Premises of Supposed Pro-Germans. ..: - .. ; (From t Dtsff Correspondent) Lincoln, Mrch 28. (Special.) kYIlow paint for ornamental purposes 4i?ced upon buildings received the condemnation of the lower branch of Tie legislature today when Behrens of (fuming county introduced a resolu tion, which passed unanimously, con demning all person who take it upon fliemselves to cover the buildings of neople whom they consider disloyal. Representative Jerry Howard in jxoduced one of his justly celebrated solutions calling for shorter hours Ud longer wages for female laboring People. The resolution went over two days , under the rules over protest of the Omaha man. .For the first time this session the house went into committee of the whole to consider bills, Speaker Jack ison calling to the chair Representa tive Fries of Howard county, the dean i the house. This is Mr. Fries' seventh legislative session and his pjpularity was shown when members applauded loudly as he took the chair. Ik , Repeal Mockett Law. .- "H. R. 4, for the repeal of the Mock ett law went through without debate and was recommended for passage without a dissenting voice. ' Thi bill .eeks to repeal the law which 'per mits the teaching of foreign languages in the schools of the state and in case where a certain per cent of the ' patrons of the school demand it makes it compulsory. .. The fire works came unexpectedly ffW a source not looked for when H. R. 6, the 4ill for the recognition of the home guards came up for con sideration. The original bill simply called for legislation of the organiza tion, which now comprises about 200 companies. An amendment was at tached which provided that the county board of any county, might if they deemed it advisable, make a levy to raise sufficient funds to equip and uni form the companies. Hoffmeister Oppose. : Representative Hoffmeister of '.Chase, did no think it was necessary .to uniform a lot of fellows and pay : for a bunch of gold braid so they . aould spread themselves over the scenery and look pretty. He thought it unnecessary. He said that every body was loyal anyhow as a general tjiing and there was no need of mak ingv the taxpayers gd down in their jean to pay for all the gold braid , that would be wanted,""': ""I Tracewell of Cherry sstfd that the . tiine had erne to cut out all the stuff about what things would cost. The ipeople .up in his community were for , the home guards. They were needed because no one knew what might htp pen in the future. He defied the Chase county member to show that every .body was loyal, and closed by saying, "the member who said that the jpeor '.tile of the state were all loyal was saying what he knew to be false" Tracewell's speech brought out a great deal of applause. "Buy Own Uniforms." T. J. McAllister of Dakota county said he had more than 200 relatives in the service, some of them in the trenches and others "bleaching on the bloody fields of France." He was not in favor of buying uniforms for the home guards. "If any of those fellows wanted to join the home guards, they could do so, but . they ought to buy their own uniforms and guns," he said. v-. - Auterk of Boone said. he. did not come down to the legislature to ex plode any. gas,: but he simply wanted to say that if it was left to the men in overalls they would rather shoulder their shot guns loaded with buckshot and clean out the Dutch. . . Representative Grenwalt of Cus ter called upon the , members to recognize the home guards. "They are needed," he said, "to protect. the property of our citizens and might have to go up against the greatest military power the world has ever known." He believed we should pro tect ourselves and men who or ganized for military duty should be given recognition. Dalby of Gage, Thomas of Dawes, Dafoe, Murtey and a number of others spoke for the bill and Peterson of Lancaster appeared to open the eyes of the members when he said that the object of the bill was to provide a means now, but that the amendment would make it impossible to secure funds until along sometime in 1920, for the reason that the action would have to go through all the avenues necessary and provided by the statutes which would compel the commission ers to wait until -the money came in after a levy had been made and the taxes collected. This aoneared to strike the mem bers as an important consideration, and r t h i, ..i ' - - : . -. t. : lronin OI flOll, laKing a 54111111 ai m.i watch, announced that it was lunch time and, the house took a recess un til afternoon. At the afternoon session the house was addressed by Major John G. Maher of the quartermasters depart ment at Omaha and later by R. L. Metcalfe of the State Council of De fense.

R. 8, an appropriation bill for the payment of salaries of the state bacterologist and insurance ex aminers, who were left out of the appropriation bill passed by the last session. The call was for $9,000. Much to the disgust of the, members of the house the senate adjourned this afternoon until 2 o'clock Monday afternoon. , Hearing of Miss McMahon Will Be Held April 17 (From Blaft Correspondent.)

SALARY MQ FOR MEMBERS OF LEGISLATURE i (From a Staff Correspondent.) Lincoln, Neb., March 28. (Spe cial.) After state officers had camou flaged the people of the state with the idea that the present session of the legislature would be a cheap affair from the standpoint of cost to the tax payers, members Af the house this afternoon spilled the beans by intro ducing bills for the payment of mem bers for five days time, their railroad fare and expenses of the senate. H. R. 12 By the finance commit tee, calls for an appropriation of $3, 000 to pay the running expenses of the senate. H. R. 13 By the same committee calls for $3,11020 to pay the mileage of the members coming to Lincoln. H. R. 14 By the same committee appropriates $6,400 for the payment of salaries of the members. The latter bill was drawn o nan es timate that the session would be of five days' duration. However it is still subject to a "happy thought" from some member who may make a motion to amend the bill to cover five more days or five weeks for that matter, so that the emmebers can be assured that they will not have to walk home when the gavel drops at the close.
