House Reapportionment Bill

Lincoln, Feb. 1. . (Special.)
Omaha must depend on its state
cnators to put up a tight for 15
representatives under the new ap
portionment bill to be considered at
tin's session.
The house legislative bill intro
duced Rives Douglas county 13 rep
resentatives, an increase of one over
the present' dozen loNver house

Street Light Monopoly.
"Fourth: House Roll No. 1 would
take from the city council the right
and power to buy t(rcet lights where
it could get them cheapest, and
would force the council to buy these
street lights from the water board
whenever and wherever the latter
saw fit to furnish them. That bill
empowers he state railway commis
sion to fix the price that the city
of Omaha must pay for these lights
if the city council and the water
board cannot agree.
. "In view of our experience with
the state railway commission in the
matter of increased street car fares
and increased telephone rates. I do

to the last and found that tltert ! not believe that the people of Omaha
want to tunncr empower mat com
mission to fix the rates we are re
quired to pay for street lighting.
If the big downtown stores, hotels,
office buildings and large users can
get their light and power from the
water board or' the Nebraska Power
company, whichever one will furnish
it at the lowest price, why should not
the city council, in expending the
taxpayers' rtjtfncy for street lights,
be nrivilegea to do the same?
"If the water board is going to
compete, it ought to compete. I do
not believe the people of the city
of Omaha favor giving the state
railway commission power to .ay
how we shall spend the taxpayers'
nionev. I believe the people of - the
citv of. Omaha favor getting nearer"
home rule and not farther away from
it.
"These are some of the reasons
why I do not think House Rolt No. 1
is beneficial to the city of Omaha.
Very Truly yours. ED P. SMITH,
Mayor."
Annexation Plan Endorsed
By Sarpy County Residents
Lincoln, Feb. 1. (Special.)' In
surance of good roads, increase in
land values and cutting down, coun
ty operating expenses in the proposed
annexation of Sarpy county by
Douglas has resulted in letters
Sanctioning the proposition and
personal calls from Sarpy county
residents, according to Representa
tive Robert Druescdow of Omaha,
author of the annexation bill. .
Drucsedow had on his desk today
a copy of the Gretna Breeze which
indorsed the bill.
The bill has been referred to the
committee on privileges and elections
headed by A. H. Byrum of Franklin
county.

Farmer Members Defeated
In Fight for $1.50 Tuition
Lincoln, Feb. 1. (Special.) -Farmers
lost a fight in the lower
house today, to keep tuition charges
for country students in town' schools'
down' to $1.50 a week. A bill passed
the committee of the whole which
will charge the country school dis
trict from which the pupil comes $3 a
week tuition, instead of $1.50 a week.
Farmer members fought in vain to
keep the rate down to $1.50 a week.
wasn't an opportunity to give Oma
ha more than the unlucky 13.
- Senate Plans Increase.
' "I undorstaiid. however, that the
jenatc plans to increase the number
to 15," Representative William L.
Rsandall of Omaha said today. Rau
ddH is on the house, apportionment
Committee.
That means if the bill goes
through the house with the 13 clause
for Douglas county attached, Doug
las county senators will demand an'
increase to 15. Or, perhaps a sep
arate apportionment bill may be in
troduced in the senate with 15 repre
sentatives for Douglas county pro
'virlcd for in the measure.
; In either event, i f a bill goes
through the house calling for 13
and through the senate calling for
15, the row must be. settled in a joint
Conference committee of the house
and senate near the close of '.he ses
.sioiO .
Small Counties Responsible.
Then, under rules of the new con
stitution, the conference committee
bill must be voted on by tlie house
and sciiate and receive a majority
Vole in both houses before it U sent
to the governor for signature.
1 "The counties out in the state
really too small for one representa
tive and too large to be tacked onto
another county were responsible."
Randall said. "The committee gave
those small- counties a representa
tive and left Douglas county until
the last, pnly to discover that it took
only 13 representatives from Doug
las county to make up the 100 to
which Nebraska is entitled."
Railroad Brotherhood Bills
For Larger Crews Killed
Lincoln, Feb. 1. (Special.) "I
knew the bills would be killed but
the railroad brotherhoods wanted
them introduced so I put 'em in."
Those were the words used by
Representative Frank V. Acton of
Beatrice, after three railroad bills
introducd by him were referred back
to the committee of the whole from
the railroad committee with an in
definite postponement recommenda
tion, which was adopted. ,
The bills, provided for increasing
Certain train and engine crews on
' Kebraska railroads. It was an at
tempt of brotherhoods to get hun
dreds of men back, on the payrojl
who have recently been "laid off" be
cause of high wages and hard times,
according to charges made by rail
tpad officials before the railroad
Committee. ' i
Lincoln, Feb, 1. (Special.) The
senate committee appointed to in
quire if any duplication or extrava
gance exists in the administration of
state affairs is going direct to the
respective state offices for informa
tion. The procedure is to call in a state
ofiicer-most of the constitutional
ofiicets having .already appeared
and find out the number of em
ployes in his department, the work
they do and the salary paid.
In this connection the committee
will make a careful check on the
number of employes under the code,
cqmparcd with the number under
the old form of government, accord
ing to 'Chairman Perry Reed.
The committee, which has its
headquarters in the Lindcll hotel,
was at work until midnight Monday,
taking testimony of witnesses. Ses
sions, however, are behind closed
doors.
Code officials and the heads of
other departments will be heard at
the earliest possible moment and
the committee will give to anyone
who has a criticism an opportunity
to present it.
Any matter bearing on the subject
of the inquiry, according to Senator
Reed, will be considered by the
committee.
Legislature Boosts
Fordney Tariff Bill
Lincoln, Feb. 1. (Special.) Ne
braska's four democratic members
of the state legislature joined with
republicans today in signing a reso
lution, which was adopted, urging
United States Senators Norn's and
Hitchcock to support the Fordney
emergency tariff bill now before the
United States senate.
The Fordney measure is looked
upon as a bill to relieve the money
stringency of the farmers at this
time.
The fact that Senator Hitchcock
is asked by the four democrats to
act is taken as an indication that the
senator may be spurred into action
from his reluctant attitude now
shown toward the Fordney bill.
The resolution passed today was
prepared by Representative George
Williams of Fairmont. ,
i -
Resolution Demands
Stoecker Apologize
Lincoln. Feb. l.(Special.) W.
F. Stoecker, former member of the
house of representatives, from Oma
ha, must apologize to every member
of the lower house of the state legis
lature. This mandate is contained in a
resolution offered today in the lower
house by Representative George
Snow of Chadron.
The apology is demandeU for .an
alleged insult in letters written to
every member of the lower house.
- But Representative Robert Druesc
dow of jOmah?., leader in the house
for the municipal light bill, leaped
to his feet with a motion to lay ovc
inc resolution tor one oay pciore
-voting.
R. Beechen Howell of Omaha,
father of the House Roll No. 1,
was in Lincoln last night. "Alfalfa
John" Franklin and a" number of
other representatives of alleged
nonpartisan league proclivities, ate
dinner with him at a downtown
hotel.
Bankers' Special No. I ,
Rolls Through House
Lincoln Feb.. 1. (Special.) -A
causers special Ao. 1 rolled
through the lower house on third
reading today without a stop. .
This ' bill provides for licensing
bank officials, increasing capital stock
and tightening down on moral and
financial standing of officers. In
short, it throws banking business
more directly under state control.
The bill will now go to the senate
for passage. It was the first bill of
major importance to pass the house.

Axtell Calls Budget
"The Buck" Passed
To the Legislature
Lincoln, Feb. . (Special.) The
budget is nothing except "the buck"
passed to the legislature by Gov. S.
R. McKelvie, according to J. A. Ax
tell, chairman cf the house ways and
means committee.,
"We. were delayed 20 days wait
ing for the budget and when we ex
amine it we find it is nothing except
ing a list of appropriations requested
by various state institutions and of
ficers," Axtell declared today.
"There arc no recommendations
about cutting or slashing them. It
is up to us to do that and the gov
ernor can point out that he put the
requests in the budget. It is merely
a case of passing the buck to us."
