studies and requirements for teach
ers, and to the abolishment of the
teaching of foreign languages, ex
i cept the classics, in branches lower
than the tenth grade, tor this would
he in harmony with the American
ization plans essential for the de-
, velopment of a national spirit.
They contend that the injecting
of the religious question into the
matter will be productive of evil
and point to the features discrim
. inating against all other than public
, schools and the bill introduced in
the senate by Randall, making it
'. unlawful for ' any public school
' teacher to wear any insignia indi
s eating that she is a member or ad
; herent to any religious organization,
. as bringing up an issue of this char
lacter. i The Lutheran and Catholic
' churches alone would not be af
fected by these laws they say, but
, the smaller 'denominational colleges
.would be put out of business.
t There- are a number of college
communities in Nebraska settled
"by whole families belonging to cer
tain denominations who have moved
to such communities, primarily to
give older children the benefit of
collegiate training but who have
also demanded primary and ele
mentary training for the smaller
children and practically every de
nominational college in the state
.has met this demand by introduc
and maintaining these lower grades
in order to hold the family unit in
"the community during the. time the
;children are being educated.
Were these features abolished by
law, it is argued, these colleges
could not exist.
The passage of the-,Randall law
would also prohibit the numbers of
the Christian Endeavor, tthe Ep
worth League, King's Daughters
and members of the Baraca from
wearing the emblems of these re
ligious organizations.
1 English Language. Bills.
i A bill, which-seems to adapt it
self to the Americanization plan,
atid which is meeting with consider
able support, is that of McKee. of
Otoe, which requires teaching of
all subjects in all schools in the
English language', up to and Includ
ing the tenth grade and forbid? the
teaching of .any language except
English and classical languages , in
these grades. .
Along the line of Americanization
also are those bills which repeal the
Mockett law, which repeals the law
providing for the publication, .-of
legal notices in foreign languages,'
and the proposed measures which
compels the publication of all legal
notices' in the English language
rri - - .L
Olliy. men, 100, iner- arc urns
which make rH. unlawful for any
public officer .to appoint any alien
to any, appointive juce in the pub
tic service. " '
Interest also, centers in - those,
bills which" have- for .their .purpose
the repeal of the .-.' lpodification of
the primary law so as to bring
back the old convention system of
nominations either for all offices,
or for state offices..
, Those who favor the repeal of
the primary law say ,that it does
not provide for representative nom
inations, that it entails great costs
on the state, lengthens the ballot so
as to make the latter cumbersome,
and it also entails great expense on
candidates.
Especially !s this true of state of
ficers, they contend, and they assert
that in a primary election voters,
because of a lack of knowledge of
the personality and abilities, of the
different candidates, are compelled
to- vote blindly.
The reform element in favor of
the repeal of the primary law say
the measure was i good one in the
days when there was an organ
ized 'brewers' and ' distillers' asso
ciation, but now that these elements
are eliminated from politics a re-,
turn to the old convention system
could be made without detriment to
politics. ,
Nepotism in State Ofices.
, Just as tht "house and senate
acted almost unanimously on the
prohibition amendment and the
woman's suffrage resolution, it will
a!so act on the bill prohibiting ne
potism in state offices.
' , Important agricultural measures
in the house are the bills introduced
for the purpose of protecting the
sheep- industry, the standardization
of farm tractors, renewing the boun
ty on wolf and coyote scalps, re
quiring that alt verbal farm leases
terminate March 1, 1919. requiring
referendum vote of suffragtans in
the county to determine the em
ployment of a county farm demon
strator and requiring railroads .to
furnish round trip transportation
tor shippers of one load of live
stock.
Sheep Protection Law.
The sheep protection law is the
ant by Barton Reed, of Lancaster,
which provides a $10 state tax on
v!ogs, coupled with the bill by Fuller
,! Butler, providing that darrages
hy dogs to . farm animals be paid
the owners cf . such farm "anwals
out of the state dog tax fundsThe
coyote and wolf bounty bill is also
tl.mg this line.'
On of. the most drastic"' laws :in-
? reduced thus far in. the session is';
the one by Brooks which makes the
violation of the prohibitory Jaw- a
felony instead of a. misdemeanor
iiid providing a 6 months pail sen
fence on conviction. ,., ; :, x'.t . ''.
A number- of the-memtjerssay;
that tfity came to iais session wua
die determination not to introduce

crtat that they have yielded "to
demands. . ,'

recurs nearly avery session, is the

After Little Son Insists to e Gne of the

" (By J. H. KEARNES) "
(Staff Correspondent
Lincoln. Neb., Jan. 18. One of
the newly elected members of the
house has provided a seat at his side
in the chamber for his better half
and she has sat at every session so
far. The member has distinguished
himself by moving to adjourn five
times in' one morning.
The presence of the extra "mem
ber" in the bouse has been comment
ed upon and one of the legislators
said it reminded him of a story.
"A neighbor of mine," he said, "a
young farmer, with a large family,
had been nominated and elected to
the office of justice of the peace
from his precinct without his knowl
edge. "After the election he was noti
fied of the results and he went home
rather elated.
"Supper was ready when he ar
rived and the family were all seated
when he entered the dining room
and blurted out, 'I've been elected
squire 1'
"His little son, Delbert, called out:
'Say, paw, does that make us squires,
too?'
"Shut your mouth. Delbert." ex
claimed his mother, "there's nobody
squires in this family except your
paw and mel"
Chief clerk of the house, Will F.
Hitchcock, is determined to make a
record for economy and efficiency
in his department that will , prove
the truth and consistency of the 're
publican legislature to . transact its
business with the smallest possible
cost to the people. So far he has
been successful in keeping these
costs below those of other, legisla
tive sessions where a large volume
of business has come in on the
opening days.
I he grand total of his disburse
ments shown in his report to the

orary, who received $476.50 for reg

board, Omaha; was'in.i Lincoln, the
lattet part of lasfweek, interesting
membersf; the, legislature in the
proposed bill, to establish 'a domestic'
relations- court, 'in . Omaha.
Another interesting fact that ha
calteJ the - attention of 'lawmakers'
to was, .that tiiere : Pa provision in
the laws of the state"' of Nebraska
for the care of the adult feeble
minded. The law makes provision fori :ttw'
care of the children. He cited the
case of an Omaha familv where the
father had died, leaving a feeble
minded wife with several children
similarly Cafflicted. The children.
under the law, were provided a
home in an institution, but the
mother, utterly incapable of caring

could be legally cared for. , ,..
Members of the legislature are
urging George Christy, representa
tive from Nemaha county. o hold
an apple show in the house that will
eclipse the one (riven in the senate
by Clyde Barnard, chief clerk of
the upper body. i
In the Barnard apple show the
members, of the senate were made
judges of the excellence-of Pawnee
county apples. House members Say
that Christy, who "a. horticulturist,
can produce finer specimens of nip-
! a1 . i . r
pins man . jnose .inai came irom
Pawnee county. They are anxious
to be shown 'and promise the sNe-'
maha county legislator ' that they
can be corrupted to the extent they
will -bring in a prejudiced verdict
in favor of his apples, if he holds
the show.
House members had no chance to
judge the excellence of the, flavor
of the apples shown in the senate.
Owinnr to the fact that an over
whelming majority of the house
members are novices in legislative
experience that body is still self
conscious and rather diffident
It is a happy circumstance that
the lower house has such able men

road each alternate section of land
along the line within a 10-mile zone
along the line. A supplemental act
in 1864 doubled this subsidy and
the railroad company claimed that
the width of the right of way was
also doubled or increased tP 400 feet
Mr.' Osterman, in explanation
says: "Ihe company sold the.-lands
to which it held title, making . the
right of way boundry 100 feet dis
tant from the main line track. On
the government land it set the
boundry back 200 feet ' on either
side. We want the passage' of a
law which will define the right-of-way
so as to make it uniform all
along the line, and make it 100 feet
t-on. each side of the track as it
passes through the entire state."
i,; From now on. all -oKthe - aenate
and house committees will be busy
conferring- on the . bills -referred to
their respective committees. Some
very interesting sessions will be
held; The time of introduction of
bills , in the 'senate and-house is
limited to the first 20 days .after
-the ofgahizatlon of both bodies-and
nearly half that time has transpired.
The pasage of bills will soon take
place and the real legislative grind

Members from the southeastern
part of.tthe s'tate are chuckling over
a curioiisV. situation that exists at
Peru. It is'constantly called to their
attention when they see Col. Tom
Majors and Elfis Good in the lobby
of the Lindell. hotel.
Majors and-Good are leaders in
their respective republican factions
in Peru.
Recently the democratic postmas
ter of Peru was removed and both
the Majors jand the Good factions
have candidates for the vacancy. The
candidates, like the leaders, are re
publicans... :1i : . V ,
The pecuKar 'thing' is 'that in a
democratic presidential administra
tion the local democrats of Peru
have no voice in the choice nd their
democratic candidate does not seem
to stand a ghost of a show." The two
republican factions seem . to have
captured the ears of Postmaster
General Burleson and he is deaf to
democratic pleas.

the bills which deal with the Amer

One of1 the last 'bfficiaf afcts of
former Governor Neville, who is
now luxuriating in the tropic breezes
of Florida, with his family, -was to
commute the. indeterminate sentenc
of Lemuel Coldsberry, one . of the
oldest and jnost interesting con
victs in the state penitentiary.
Goldsberry, who is eighty,' was a
civil war veteran and had served a
term in the Kansas penitentiary for
manslaughter. About sixteen years
ago the anti-horse thief association,
of Butler county, Missouri, sent its
detectives to Nemaha county, in this
state, where Goldsberry had located
and they found that he was receiv
ing herds of horses stolen from Mis
souri and Kansas by the largest and
best organized gang of horse thieves
which ever operated in that section.
.Through the influence of the But
leV'count nien. a .confederate of
Goldsberry, named 'White, was par
doned from the 'Missouri peniten
tiary so he could give "evidence for
the state in the trialia Nemaha
county. . Tw'V! " '
Goldsberry was convicted of hav
ing received - stolen , property with
guilty knowledge and was one of the
first men in the state to . have been
successfully prosecuted under the
conspiracy act provided for in the
present statutes.
It is this same statute that Berka,
of Douglas county, seeks to have
made effective in its application to
auto stealing in order that automo
bile thieves can be more successfully
prosecuted. Applied to horse steal
ing it broke up the last big organized
gang that ever operated in the
states of Kansas, Missouri and Ne
braska. Bigamist Breaks Parole;

From Staff Correspondent
Lincoln, Jan. 18. (Special.)
four million dollars is the amount
of the fund which will be provided
for a new capitol in the consolidated
bill which is to come before the
legislature. H. R. No. 3. which is
to be taken as the basis of the com
bined measure will be revised
so as to raise that sum bv a fixed
annual levy of 1 mill or more ex
tending over a period of years
necessary to produce it.
Representative Tracewell and
Representative Jacobs, who intro
duced the first capitol bill as H. R.
No. 2, have agreed with Represen
tative Mears. the introducer of No.
3. to have their names placed on the
latter bill as joint introducers. It
will also have the names of 25 or
more other members upon it. Trace-
well s name will come first, eivme
him recognition as the pioneer ad
vocate of a new capitol in this legis
lative session. Mr. Treadwell also
sponsored the bill in the session two
years ago which was ultimately de
feated. Both. Parties Represented. '
The nonpartisan capitol commis
sion provided for in H. R. No. 2
will be dropped and the provision
in No. 3 for a commission consisting
of the governor, the state engineer,
and three others appointed by the
governor is to be retained. This i's in
deference to the wishes of the gov
ernor. Both political parties are rep
resented in the list of introducers
of the bill. . - .
There seems to be little opposi
tion to the capitol bill in the house,
but it may encouter heavier going
in the senate, where W. J. Taylor is
on guard, Mr.- Taylor waged a bit
ter fight against the capitol bill two
years ago.
According to Chairman Good of
the house finance committee, it is
the intention to fake up H. R. No. 3
in the near future and get it re
ported out; for early consideration
in the chamber. It may be one of
the first appropriation bills to come
before the house. The legislative
salaries and expense bills will be
given precedence over all others.

Continued High Prices
I. A. Vant, President St. Joseph Stock Yards Bank,
St. Joseph, Mo.
The effect of reconstruction as refers to the live stock industry,
will result tor a time at least in continued high prices for cattle. There
is now a shortage of Ihe necessary animals to produce the beef required
in this country and for the allies of this country. I'roduction of beef
rattle has been slowed down to quite an extent, in addition to which
there have been marketed large numbers of young cattle and cows,
which should not have been done.
To overcome this shortage continued high prices will be necessary
as an encouragement to the cattle men to increase production. They
must also have an opportunity to secure money on favorable terms in
order to carry out operations necessary to increase the -production.
Banks and cattle loan companies loaning money oi. this class of
loans are well aware of these facts, and are using their utmost endeav
ors to provide the necessary funds. In doing this they depend to a
large extent upon their connections in the east, and so far as it has
come under my observation the eastern banks in the money centers
have in no way curtailed the amount of funds they were willing to in
vest in this way. My experience has been that such banks realize the
importance of this industry, and are willing to afford it every reason-,
able facility. '
Will Submit Claims

Big Saving Made by State
Printing Commissioner on
Letterheads; Will Be Printer'
According to Form.
From a Staff Correspondent.
. Lincoln, Jan. 18. (Special.) In
stead of having letterheads printed
separately for each department and
bureau of state government ''in
small lota of 1.000 or 2.000 each.
State Printing Commissioner Con
ingliam has adopted a new plan oi
standardized correspondence sheeti
for all departments and will have
200,000 of them furnished in one
batch as a supply to meet all of th
needs for the first six months of tfu
current year.
In doing this he has effected "i
saving of nearly SI .000 to the stats
as compared with prices heretofrtrt
paid for such supplies when tht
work was let- out piecemeal. Tht
reduction in cost by following tht
new plan of quantity buying is SC
per cent
The 200,000 letterheads will "bt
of uniform size and quality and will
be printed according to stipulated
form. The state seal and the words
"State of Nebraska" will appear at
the top of each, followed by the
name of the department using the
stationery. A single die stamp will
thus serve the purpose for every
thing.
Printing Commissioner Cunning
ham did not secure satisfactory bids
on the whole contract, including the
paper stock, and so he purchased it
direct from a wholesale paper
house. He let the contract for the
orintinir to an Omaha concern
which was the lowest and best bid
der. Printed envelopes will be bought
in the same manner and Mr. Cun
ningham expects' to bring about a
similar economy. Other materials
which he will purchase in large
quantities' hereafter are typewriter
paper, carbon sheets, pencils, rub
ber bands and ink.
