The secretary of state, through Representative Sturtevant of Cherry county proposed the amendment in opposition to the provision of the bill which decreed that the state board of irrigation, highways and drainage should be custodian of the funds. McLaughlin of Hall county, father of the bill, showed that by making the irrigation and highway board custodian of the fund a large sum could be saved the highway fund that is now debected to the general fund. He said that field men in the employ of the highway department could be used for this work during bad weather and the winter months and it was the only logical place the money should go and be ac counted for. He estimated that the office cost would be decreased to $5,000 per annum where it now in volves an annual expenditure of $18,791. i Wants Probe Into Office. When he mentioned that the sec retary of state paid out-in postage lor mailing license olates the sum of $21,940 per' year, Fults, of Furnas, exclaimed! "If that is the case it is time for use to order the examina tion ot tne omce ot the secretary of state." This was the only hitch that oc curred in the consideration of the. bill. All .of the proposed amend ments were adopted as follows: No transfer of hcense plates will be legal unless certified to; motor cycles will pay a license of $5 per year, all other vehicles $10 per year, except cars weighing in excess of 2,000 pounds when there shall be an additional license of 50 cents per 100 pounds; motor vehicles used for the carrying of passengers in excess of 7 per car, and trucks shall be taxed at capacity weight. Twenty-five per cent of all regis tration fees shall be paid into the respective counties for a road drag ging fund. Duplicate numbers will cost $1 each, and duplicates of num bers lost shall be charged for at the same rate. An attempt was made by Rod man of Kimball to have the age limit of boys permitted to drive motor vehicles .reduced from 16 years to 12. He explained that in the western part of the state a shortage of help made it imperative that the younger boys be impressed in the service and he suggested a saving clause be put in the bill making the county judge pass upon the ability of boys to drive and to issue 12-year-olds permits if. they proved competent The majority of the members thought the responsibility too great and the amendment was lost by a decisive vote.

According to the temper of the house of represen tatives of the legislature it is not yet time to depart from the primary system of making nominations and return to the old time convention system. In debate ' on the Hardin-Byrum bill it was admitted t'..a the pri mary system of nominating candi dates for public office had its faults, but despite this, the members of the house love it still. The amended bill up for final ' passage, received only 37 votes with 36 against it. In order to pass the bill a vote of 51 members would have to be registered for it. I There is still a likelihood that the ' primary law may be amended and this may be done in the senate where a bill forbidding candidates to do newspaper advertising, and providing for state wide registration of voters will come up tomorrow. THE BEE: OMAHA, TUESDAY, MARCH 11, 1919. HOUSE FAVORS BILL TO STOP NEPOTISM GRAFT Effort of Members From Smaller Counties to Alter Slightly Succeeds and . It Is Recommended. From a Staff Correspondent. Lincoln, March 10. Despite the efforts of Representatives Osterman and Jacobson, democratic leaders, to defeat the bill in committee of the whole of the house today, House Roll 260, Foster's anti-nepotism bill, was ordered for engross ment and third reading by a de cisive vote. Osterman and Jacombson both contended that the bill was purely a Douglas county measure and that there was np demand for it out in the state, and that its passage would work a hardship in some of the smaller counties and would work against efficiency. Foster denied that the bill was a Douglas county measure and de clared that it was a progressive piece of legislation evolved by the opportunities of the republican par ty to make good where the demo crats had failed, and that it was the work of the committee on privi leges and elections made up of men from all over the state. Carroll sought to kill the bill by indefinite postponment, but his mo tion lost, 23 for and 41 against. The bill as it came from the com mittee prohibited any state, county or municipal officer from appointing any relative tovoffice where the sal ary of such office was over $600 per annum. Osterman tried to amend this by increasing the exemption to $1,000, but this was defeated. The compromise amendment of Wilman of York that the exemption be made on offices drawing less than $800 per annum carried almost unanimously. The Columbia Is Different.
