HALF DAY GOING
OVER T170 BILLS
Legislature Violates Tradition
to Take Things Easy in
Early Part of Session;
Put in Busy Day.
From a Staff Correspondent.
Lincoln, Feb. 8. The Nebraska
.louse of representatives, meeting to
day in violation of all legislative
traditions to take things easy early
in the session, did not get enough in
the morning but continued over un
til late.in the afternoon.
J he lower branch put in nearly the
entire morning on two measures, H.
R. 90, which provides for a tax on
nogs to reimburse 6wners of live
stock and poultry killed by canines
and one raising' the pay of county
and local assessors.
Raise Pay of Assessors.
Along with the assessors' pay bill,
there was an amendment by the
committee on fees and salaries, mak-
- ing the remuneration of local assess
ors $4 per day instead of ?5 as car-
, ried in the original measure. The law
now fixes the compensation at $..
The bill carries an increase of $100
; per year in the pay of salaries of
county assessors;
In this form both measures re
ceived the approval of" the house
committee of tbx. whole at the af
ternoon session.
A pages' strike at the house end
ed with two new boys employed in
; that capacity." When the house
members' appeared this morning,
Chairman Axtell of the committee
on employes announced he had cm
ployed Wilmer Elwards and Robert
Moore, both of Lincoln. The boys
were hired with the definite under
standing that the -pay was to be
. $2.06 per day, six days in the week,
whether the house met or not. Any
thing less did not provide a living
wage, Mr. Axtell said.
Bills Reported Out.
The committee "bn fee,s and sal
'; aries reported these bills out today
with the recommendation they pass:
II. R. No. 246 Increase of $100 a
year in the pay of county superin
tendents. S. F No. 76 Increase for city of
, ficials and employes in cities of
from 5,000 to 25,000 population. '
Although the judiciary commit
'tee decided yesterday afternoon to
report the soldiers' preference law
for indefinite postponement, Chair
' man Fults announced today he was
holding it back at the request of
the introducer, Representative Full-
er. The bill in its present form is
very drastic, requiring public offi
cials to appoint soldiers instead of
civilians to all places at their dis
posal, giving them the right to sue
for damages if they are not ap
pointed and also to bring mandamus
notion. Fuller is willing to have it
changed.
The judiciary committee has like
wise consigned three labor union
bills to the graveyard. They are:
11. R. 183 Forbidding cities, in
dividuals or corporations from mak
ing contracts not to employ union
labor. - '
H. R. 182 Exempting labor un
ions from the Junkin anti-trust act.
H. R. 257 Making mechanics
lien prior to all other claims.

OTHER STATES
f JUST FIGHT GUT
TOLL RATE CASE
Attorney General Davis Will
Wait for Decision in
Neighboring States; Wires
Postmaster General.
Lincoln, Fcb.-8.. Postmaster Gen
eral Burleson has been notified by
Attorney General Clarence A. Davis
that he expects to let some other
state fight out the test case against
the federal director's telephone toll
rates, while the Nebraska injunction
obtained in Douglas and Lancaster
counties continues until the supreme
court of the United States passes on
the question.
The attorney general says because
other states, particularly Minnesota,
have the case further advanced, it
would be useless, for Nebraska to
duplicate' the procedure. The Min
nesota case is approaching the state
Supreme court.
The following telegram was sent
ta Postmaster General Burleson by
Attorney General Davis, to which
the federal official has not yet re
plied: "State of Nebraska has- obtained
injunction in the district court of
Lancaster and Douglas counties re
straining the Lincoln Telephone
company ana the Nebraska Tele
phone company from enforcing the
new rate schedule. -
"We "deem it only fair and trust
that you will order all independent
companies in Nebraska to comply
with the same orders voluntarily un
til we obtain final adjudication.
t"Also we will consent to stipulate
that our temporary order remain' in
force without hearing until some
case from another state is finally de
termined. Kindly advise us at once."

House Puzzled Over
Question of What to
Do With Resolutions
From a Staff Correspondent,
Lincoln, Feb. 8. The Nebraska
house is still perplexed with what
to do with petitions, memorials and
resolutiops sent in by organizations
and groups of individuals over the
state, beating on matters of legis

voted to refer them all to the proper
standing committees, for half an
hour Saturday morning the wisdom
of the action was debated and the
house finally reconsidered it. The
matter will come up again next
week.
When Mr. Hardin moved on Fri
day to refer "all resolutions to com
mittees, and the house adopted the
motion, it included resolutions of
fered by members from the floor as
well as those passed by orgamza
tions outside the legislature and sent
in as communications.
"We have no business to smother
petitions in- this manner." he de
clared. "This shutting off expres
sions from people is not right."
Committee on.Employes
Wrestle With Page Problem
Lincoln, Feb. 8. (Special.) The
senate committee on employes, of
which Senator 1". G. Johnson is chair
man, is wrestling with the page
problem in the upper branch since
the pages in the house went on a
strike. The senate pages say that
they nwst have more litoney but
they do not care to go on a strike in
order to secure it.
The statute provides for $1.50 a
day pay for pages, but the senate
committee has consented that they
draw overtime- and in this manner
they will be "puid enough to con
stitute a living wage.
Miss Emma Halbreck, who has
been one of the senate stenographs
ers since the opening of the session,
has resigned. Her successor has not
been appointed.
