Lincoln, Feb. 24. (Special Tele

cut out any of the state officers, as
the executive committee had recom
nfended, and putting back into the
list of executive officers to be elected
the lieutenant governor, attorney
general, secretary of- state, and state
superintendent the copstitutional
convention proceeded Tuesday to re
fuse to reinstate the land commis
sioner as an elective officer, and
added a tax commissioner as a new
officer.
It also provided for salaries for
the state supreme judge of $7,500
each, but cut down the proposal for
$7,500 for the governor to $6,000 and
other state officers from $6,000 to
$4,000. The lieutenant governor will
receive, as now, twice the pay of a
senator, but as the provision was
made for a raise of members of the
legislature from $600 to $800,- the
lieutenant governor will receive
$1,600.
The vote to lower the amounts
was very close, the vote stamding 47
for to 46 against. . .

Over Night,
Lincoln, 'Feb. 24. (Special.)
Complaint cards are being received
by Mrs. C G. Ryan, head of the de
partment incharge of solving the
high cost of living, which shows that
brown sugar has a wide range iin
price in some if the towns of the
state, the prices runnning all the
way from 17 to 25 cents.
Milk in Lincoln appears to be sold
at a greater margin in some stores
than in others, the complaints show
ing a difference of 1 cent a quart
The matter of weights is also a
proposition which will demand at
tention,' according to Mrs. Ryan.
Cartons appear to be very deceptive
and size isno authoritty for the
amount of contents, some of the
larger ones appearing to contain less
than the smaller ones.
Granulated sugar runs from 18
cents a pound to 23 cents, accord
ing to the "nerve" of the seller and
the susceptibility of the buyer.
The attention of Mrs. Ryan. has
been called by a certain lady in Lin
coln who went to a store and pur
chased several yards of silk. The
next day she found she was needing
a few yards more and on going
back discovered the price on the
same bolt had gone up $1.50 a yard.
Even the complaints have entered
the automobile field and a man out
jn the state complains that the auto
mobile garages in his town have en
tered into a combination and as a
result he has to pay $15 a month
to store his truck.
