Lincoln Bureau of The
MOVE ON FOOT
TO USE RECALL ON
NEW CODE LAW
Referendum May Be Invoked
On Several Other Measures
Passed By .Last Legislature;
- Peterson Causes Comment
Lincoln, April 27. The move
ment started last Friday at a meet
ing held In the office of Sen. C. P.
Peterson of Lincoln in which ac
tion wa a taken for the invoking of
the referendum for a recall of the
new primary law and for which pe,
tttiom are being printed and win oe
placed in circulation Tuesday, is to
be followed by similar action for the
recall of the administrative code
law, though just what action will
be taken is not now fully known.
This will open the flood gates, so
it is understood, and the referendum
will be invoked for the recall of
several important measures passed
by the legislature upon' which there
was a fight. Among them will be
the foreign language and parochial
school bills, the state bouse bill, the
banking bill, the cigaret bill and one
or two others. '
Nonpartisan League Movement.
It is generally believed that the
action to be taken is promoted by
the nonpartisan league and that the
use of the names of such men as C.
P. Peterson, J. E. Lawrence, Charles
W. Bryan, W. A. Sellick and others
was for the Duroose of camouflag
ing the situation. Some of the mem
who attended the meeting are known
to have been in sympathy with the

It was many days before even
Lillian learned the details of
Robert-Savarin's strange journey in
quest of Harry Underwood. He
had evidently gathered all his
strength to tell her of his failure
to bring her definite news of- her
erstwhile nusband, and when the
last word left his lips his utter ex
haustion was pitiably apparent.
The nurse came forward swiftly,
but Lillian's eyes had been as quick
as hers. She gave the great, appeal
ing eyes before her the assurance
thev so hungrily awaited.
"Everything is all right," she said,
slowly, distinctly. "Nothing in the
world matters except that you are
safe home with your sister and me.
Just let us taKe care ot you, ana
don't worry."
She kissed him, and then stepped
quickly aside as the nurse brought
another restorative for the man
whose whole appearance suggested
the fear that soon he would be be-

league and their activity in the mat
ter of a recall of the primary law is
given as an indication that an or
ganized movement to discredit the
work of the legislature is on foot
The action of W. J. Taylor, known
nonpartisan leaguer, the only rep
resentative of the league in the
senate, in introducing a bill which
would have amended the primary
law so as to go back to the "open
prfmary, thus enabling the league
to stand a good show of controlling
nominations in both political parties,
and his bitter fight for that bill, to
gether with his strong denunciation
of the new primary law which will
make it all the harder for the league
to control nominations of either
party, goes to show that there is a
strong organized effort, backed by
opponents of these measures along
the lines of discrediting the legisla
ture. Stand of Peterson.
The strange part of the whole
matter is why Senator Peterson,
who had many a clash with Senator
Taylor on matters of legislation and
who fought the latter's amended
primary bill, should now line up on
the side of Mr. Taylor and his
league. It is true that Senator Pet
erson opposed the new amended pri
mary bill, but there is a wonder on
the part of some of his friends as
to just why he takes the action he
now takes for the recall of the pri
mary law, when similar action is to
be taken o.i the recall of the admin
istrative code law, in which he was
the right hand man of the governor
in securing its passage, which sim
ply means that he has tied himself
up so that he cannot take an ef
fective stand against the recall of
the code law when he has already
made a stand for the recall of the
primary lawy passed by the same
legislature.

on his pulse, watched him closely,
then apparently relieved by thejef
fect of her effort, made a signal
with her unoccupied hand, which
swept us noiselessly out of the
room into he corridor outside,
where we waited, miserably ap
prehensive, until the nurse came out
to us.

"He3 resting peacefully for the
present,'' she said. "But he musn't
be allowed to speak again of any
thing exciting. And for the next few
hours I can have no one in the room
but myself."
Upon his arrival, a little later, the
physician not only upheld the
nurse's decision, but announced that
the same policy of absolute quiet
must be enforced for days. He
promised Lillian and Mrs. Cosgrove
that after the first dangerous day or
two they might take turns in re
lieving the nurse, reiterated his be
lief that the artist had been under a
most unusual nervous strain, and
lightened the weight that had set
tled upon us by holding out a dis
tinct hope for the ultimate recovery
of the stricken man.
Lillian rallied to this as if it were
a slogan. With her old energy she
planned for Mrs. Cosgrove's com
fort, saw her safely settled for, a
nap, made the necessary arrange
ments for her prolonged stay, then,
after taking me to the library, suc
ceeded in thoroughly astonishing
me. ' -
I thought I knew her capacity for
putting her own affairs out of her
mind to make room for the petty
troubles of others, - but when she
said casually: "And now, as I won't
be able to go. we'd better discuss
your costume for Rita's affair," I
first caught my breath in sheer
amazement, then turned upon her
indignantly.
"Rita's affair, indeed 1" I stormed.
"Do you think I'm going to permit
you to bother your head for a min
ute about a useless piece of frippery
like that, with all you have on hand
here? Not for one minute I I'm go

then I'm going home. I really must"
I answered the sudden look of
disappointment in her face "school

"It's All Off."
"I know," she replied, "and you've
been wonderful to stay. I won't
say anything more about the cos
tume today, but I'm going to plan it
just the same. It will mean a great
deal to you, too, Dicky, and, inci

Many Women Register
For City Election to
Be Held gt Lincoln
Lincoln, April 27. (Special) All
eyes of the state will be turned to
ward Lincoln when city election day
rolls around, for already nearly 7,000
women alone have registered. The
unusual activity is caused because
the proposition is up to the people
of the capital city of the state as to
whether it shall continue to be the
"Holy City", or whether it shall
throw open Sunday to be used for
amusements.
It is said that unusual interest has
been taken by the theaters in having
young women clerks in stores and
workers in factories register in
hopes that they will be for open the
aters on Sunday. On the other
hand, it is understood that those
opposed to an open Sunday, have
succeeded in having a largnumber
of women register who will oppose
the plan.
In any event Lincoln is alive to
the situation and with the interest
ing contest on for members of the
city commission the election will be
one of the most interesting in the
history of the town.

husband's garrulous nature, from
Lillian's lips, and there was al
ways a feeling of disloyalty to him
in listening to the stricture without
objection. Yet there was nothing
for me to say,W in my heart I
knew that she had spoken naught
save the truth.
But I had another and deeper
cause for worry. If Dicky designed
a costume for me, and I didn't wear
it I was afraid that he would be
justly grieved and angry. I had not
voiced the thought to Lillian, for I
wished to bring not even the small
est complication into her life so
piled just now with work and wor
ry. But it was a problem which
loomed vexatiously before me.
For this reason, I'm afraid, I
wasnt even detently, humanely re
gretful when. Dicky a few evenings
later announced brusquely: v
"By the way, Madge, about that
costume party of Rita's?"
"Yes," I said expectantly.
"It's all off, for a time at least
Rita's got the flu, danger of pneu
monia anyway, there's nothing do
ing in the party line for her for
some time. You couldn't let me off
the other blowout, could you?"
I glanced at him sharply, wonder
ing in dismay if he meant it. But
the next instant I had caught the
twinkle in his eye, which told me
that he would carry out his promise
to go with me to the Bayview gath

New Code Law to Run State
Business Just As a Private
Concern Runs Its Affairs
v
Barrows Says New Law Is Worth a Trial as It Has Been
Thoroughly Discussed By 133 $Ien Selected By the
People to Make the Laws of the State of Nebraska.
By P. A. BARROWS.
What doeS the new administra
tive code law do, and what will be
its effect upon ,the state at large?
This is one of the questions which
has been in the minds of the peo
ple of Nebraska ever since the leg
islature convened and the code biil
was introduced in the senate as
Senate File No. 2.
In the first place, probably no
piece of contemplated legislation of
the last session was more greatly
misunderstood than the administra
tive code bill. This was due largely
through the fact that because, it
contained over 500 pages that peo
ple became afraid that it was a rev
olutionary idea that was going to
bring havoc to state business. Ene
mies of the bill took advantage of
this feeling out in the state and
used it in a way which led the peo
ple who were. not in a position to
determine the real merits of the bill
to believe it was simply a plan of
the governor to gain control of the
state machinery and build up a po
litical machine.
Principle Works Here.
To any individual who is desirous
of finding- out jusf exactly the ef
fect the new law will have or is in
tended to have, it is only necessary
to visit any big department store
in Omaha, Lincoln or any other
city of the state, and they will find
the principal of the code bill work
ing in the carrying on of the busi
ness in those institutions of trade.
The code bill, or rather the new
administrative code law, is simply
putting in effect in state business
the same principle used in success
ful business interests in carrying, on
private business. If that method is
a success iq private business of
large trade and commerce, it hould
be just as essential and just as suc
cessful in the carrying on of the
business of the state.
Ina short way of explanation the
administrative code law fixes re
sponsibility and places it where
there will be no difficulty in find
ing it. Heretofore the executive of
the state has been largely held re
sponsible for the -poor manner in
which business may have been
handled while the responsibility has
been divided between boards of
which he was only one of from
three to five members.
Consolidates Business.
The new law consolidates the bus
iness of the state which has been
formerly handled by boards of from
three to five or more members into
six departments known as. the De
partment of Finance, the Depart
ment of Agriculture, the Depart
ment of Labor, the Department of
Trade and Commerce, the Depart
ment of Public Welfare and the De
partment of Public Works. The
work formerly handled by twenty
boards and commissions has been
consolidated into these six depart
ments with an official head for each
department known as a secretary,
all appointed by the governor and
to him personally held responsible
for the work of the department over
which that secretary has control.
Men of business who have here
tofore had business at the state
bouse with the old boards know how
difficult it has been to get a hearing
before any of the boards, simply
because the state officers who have
composed those boards have had
other business which demanded
their attention of state nature and
many hours of valuable time to the
visitor have been lost. Under the
administrative code a man having
business demanding a hearing at the
state house can get immediate ac
tion because he will not have to
wait upon the pleasure of a board
which has its members busy at
something else.
The charge that the new code law
gives the governor the opportunity
to build up a political machine is
lost in the fact that under the new
law there are less appointees than
under the old law and in the face
also of the recent attempt of a po
litical machine to run Nebraska pol
itics, it is not likely that any gov
ernor will care to overload himself
with any sort of encumbrance which
the voters of the state appear to
take so much delight in smashing.
Going back to the proposition of
the size of the code bill and the
feeling on the part of the people
th&t because of the large -number of
pages that it was ' a revolutionary
document it might be well to state
that under the law when there is a
change made in any section of a
statute, even to the change of only
one word, that it is necessary to re
print the whole section. In some
instances this took many pages, for
instance, the whole insurance law
which took 100 pages, the only
change that was made was to
change the designation "the insur
ance board" wherever it appeared
to t'the department of trade ' and
.commerce," under which the insur
ance laws of the state will now
come.
Little New Matter.
Strictly speaking, about 30 pages
will cover all the new matter that
was in the bill at the time it was
introduced. Of course the new laws
enacted by the last legislature Will
have to be incorporated in the new
administrative code law whenever
they cover matters over which the
new departments will have control.
Another charge made that as a
constitutional convention would
meet next year that matters shouldr
stay as they are awaiting action of
the constitutional convention, was
out of place because the new code
does not deal with constitutional
matter, but simply with legislative
acts, consequently does not come in
conflict with any act of the consti
tution. Should the constitutional
convention even select the short bal
lot, for instance, it will not in any
way interfere with the code bill, as
the code bill does not interfere with
the constitutional duties of the state
officers. However, if ihe short bal
lot should be finally adopted, it
would mean that the duties former
ly performed by these officers would
fall upon men appointed and this
would be fully in harmony with the
code law.
Still another charge has been
made that the bill had little chance
for consideration. The fact that af
ter passing the senate it was under
consideration in the house with two
public hearings and that something
like 100 amendments of a minor na
ture were made to the bill, which
were finally considered by the sen
ate and a conference committee and
adopted by both houses rather ex
plodes the charge that the bill did
not have very, much consideration.
There has bean a decided feeling
Jor years that the principal upon
which the business of the state was
carried out was not up to date and
in many ways unsatisfactory. A
partial change was made a few
years ago when the control of the
state institutions were taken from
the state officers as a board and
transferred to three men appointed
by the governor. While some have
not felt that this has even been a
success perhaps in the way it was
expected, yet the people were will
ing to give it a trial and even now
with as much criticism as it has
received, yet it is generally felt that
it was a step in1 the right direction.
Changes Up to Legislature.
Under our representative form of
government it is. up to the legis
lature to make such changes in the
business methods of the state which,
in their wisdom, they feel ought to
be made. They discuss theseWneth
ods thoroughly and after enacting
them into Taw, it is nothing more
than just that they should be giv
en a trial before the work of the
legislature has been declared of no
account by the use of the refer
endum. If the referendum can be
evoked whenever any class become
dissatisfied with an act of the leg
islature, there is not much use to
go to the trouble of having a leg
islative session. Any act, unless it
is especially vicious, and the legis
lature of the state of Nebraska is
not likely to onact laws of that
kind, is entitled to a trial. ,
In early days whena man was
suspected of horse stealing the aid
of Judge Lynch was invoked, and
he was strung up without a trial
and that ended it. Is the same prop
osition to be carried out in the mat
ter of laws passed by the last leg
islature? Should these laws be hung
up without a trial? Should they be
sent to the jury before the trial, or
should they , be given a chance to
see if they are workable? And then,
if they fail, the next legislature can

Use of Convict Labor
On His Texas Farm
Washington, April 27. Replying
to a telegram from Charles John

ers' advisory board, regarding the
use of convict labor on his planta
tion in which I was interested upon
which the state used its convict la
bor, and the terms of the contract
in connection therewith have been
placed before the congress more
than once and have long been a
matter of public record.
"It would be quite interesting for
fyou to publish now and later have
laid before congress the facts in the
same detail about moneys raised
and spent to secure the repeal of the
zone postage rate law.
"Of course, you know, as the New
York World did when it published
this falsehood, that I did not use
convict labor on my plantation, but
that the plantation was leased and
cultivated by the 1 state of Texas,
and the convicts used thereon were
at all timer under the state's ex
clusive control and management."
