dian of the funds drawn into the
state treasury by the sale of auto
mobile license olates, the lower
house of the legislature, in com
mittee of the whole, and in debating
house roll No. 299, the first of the
series of good roads bills, passed
adversel yon this.
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.

At the cost of a small jar of or

a full quarter pint of the most won

juice of two fresh lemons into a bot
tle containing three ounces of or

to, strain the juice through a fine
cloth so no lemon pulp gets in, then
this lotion will keep fresh for
months. Every woman knows that
lemon juice is used to bleach and re
move such blemishes as freckles, sal

skin softener, smoothener and beau

orchard white at any pharmacy and
two lemons from the grocer and

sweetly fragrant lemon lotion and
massage it daily into the face, neck,

Wants $15,000 for Active
Fund for New York Com
mittee Assisting Corn
husker Soldiers.
From a Staff Correspondent.
Lincoln, March 10. (Special.)
Gov. S. H. McKelvie will ask the
Nebraska legislature for an active
fund of $15,000 for the New York
committee looking after home
bound Nebraska soldiers, an addi
tional $10,000 emergency fund to
meet any extraordinary circum
stances, and an emergency approp
riation of $3,000 to provide the com
mittee with immediate funds.
This action follows a report from
Norris A. Huse, chairman of the
committee, announcing the opening
of Nebraska headquarters in the
Hall of States, No. 27, West Twenty
fifth street, and giving an estimate
of future needs based upon a year's
activities.
The Hall of States is financed by
the War Camp Community service,
and quarters, including desk room,
lights, telephone, heat and janitor
service are provided free to . the
committee.
Mrs. Effie Leese Scott, formerly
of Lincoln, was made permanent
secretary of the Nebraska headquar
ters, at a salary of $.50 a week. The
headquarters opened March 1.
In addition to the secretary, the
committee will employ a pier direc
tor to visit incoming ships and get
a line on returning Nebraskans,
and a "hospital visitor," to call on
Nebraska sick and wounded in the
vicinity.
The committee will also utilize all
of the available volunteer service of
former Nebraskans in New York,
Mr. Huse says. Burt Whedon has
been made treasurer of the commit
tee and Emory R. Buckner and

Nebraska Not Ready to
Quit the Primary System
Lincoln, March 10. 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.

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.
