Lincoln. Neb., March 11. By a vote of 63 to 19 the constitutional convention passed on second read ing proposal ?14 which divides the states into legislative and senatorial districts and counties having more than one representative shall be di vided into as many districts as rep resentatives are to be elected in stead of as a whole as at present.

Proposal 30.1, North's proposition for e iminatine the senate ana ma ing a one house legislature over which the lieutenant governor should preside, brought on a tangle from which the members were tin able to unwind themselves.

The convention set tled the debate by putting the final adjustment over until Friday when it is hoped some one win nave vision which will solve the tangle Short Ballot Dies. .

Riffe, good roads advocate and officer of the Old highway, has announced his inten tion of bringing suit against Gov-, ernor McKelvie and other state officials charged with the enforce ment of the motor vehicle law. The action will be for a principle, for damages and for about 500, 000 screws, the latter to be dis tributed among the 210,000 Car own ers in Nebraska. Mr. Rifte refused to attach the 1920 seal and certificate of registra tion to his car because the state would not furnish the screws. He hoped thus, he said, to compel the state to obey its own laws, passage of which he had himself advocated, but instead he was fined $3375. On the advice of his attorney that his only recourse is by "direct ac tion," he paid the fine and will be gin suit for damages, claiming that the state officers are multching the car owners of the state out of about $20,000 a year by making them buy screws. This week a representative of State Agent Hyers came to deliver the delinquent screws to Mr. Rifle and to "talk things over," but Mr. Riffe refused to give ear to any peace proposals that does not em body his point No. 1, that the state deliver screws with each seal.
