REDISRICTING
MEASURE PASSES
SECOND READING
Plan to Change Legislative
Districts in State Car
ries by a Vote of
63 to 19.
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.
The basis of apportionment shall be
as shown by the census and the
legislature may reapportion the
state not oftener than once in 10
years.
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
trouble was caused by the submis
sion of the proposition in two
forms, one for one house and the
other for two. 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. .

commissioner.

Discrimination Charged in
Disposition of Freight Cars
Lincoln, March 11. (Special.)
The Farmers Grain & Supply Co.
of Hildreth has written to the
state railway commission protesting
against the action of the Burlington
railroad in not furnishing grain cars.
The neighboring towns of Kane,

have been able to get cars with the
result that 50,000 bushels of grain
which should have gone to Hildreth
has been taken to other towns.
J. M. Haskins of the Atkinson
Community club sends a similar pro
test regarding cars for shipping hay.
He says that they are unable to get
cars at Atkinson while at Stuart they
are getting plenty, with the result
that much trade which should come
to Atkinson goes to Stuart.

Hastings Man Will
Continue Fight for
License Tag Screws
Hastings, Neb., March 11. (Spe
cial Telegram.) J. H. 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.
