No. 72 authorized county at torneys in Nebraska counties to call witnesses before them, administer oaths and ask questions regarding criminal actions within the county. Chairman 1 F,' Cordeal, outlin ing the committee's reasons for killing the bill, said that if it passed i person charged with crime would Se denied the right given him by he constitution. Senator C. Petrus Peterson declared the bill conferred ipon the county attorney the power of grand jury, judge and prosecutor. Not for Lawyers. In defense of his own bill, Senator inlay said that in his estimation :he reason why the bill met with the rommittee's disfavor was because :he committee is comprised of law yers and the bill was not exactly Mie which lawyers defending rqen charged with law violations favored. Senator Peterson brought in the ecent troubles of the Nebraska State Council of Defense. He men tioned that the council had been given authority to call before it any person it desired without giving the accused any reasons for the sum mons to appear.' When he arrived at the council's rooms, Senatpr Peterson said, he was quizzed on any subject and through star cham ber methods. Senator Peterson said he did not believe such a system made for good government. Plenty of Chloroform. The senate had a liberal suppiy of chloroform. Another bill by Senator Ainlay, prohibiting counties and townships, to levy a general road or other tax upon incorporated cities and villages within such town ships, was killed upon the recom mendation of the judiciary commit tee for indefinite postponement.

R. 75, which provides for the repeal of the law requiring relatives of insane in mates at the state hospital to pay the cost of the care for the patient. The organization of which Unitt is president, claimed that the law divides the people into two classes the rich who can pay the charges and the "paupers," who are required to file affidavit that they are unable to do so.
