House Votes for
$100,000 Fund to
Pay Hail Losses
Bitterest Fight of Session Ehds
With Passage of Measure to
Finance State In-eurance.
Lincoln. March 4. (Special.)
The bitterest fight pf this session in j
the lower hous came to an end
today when the state hail insurance
law. sarrvintf with it an appropria
tion of $100,000 to start the state
anew in the hail insurance business,
passed by a vote of 53 to 44. .
The state administration, state
Socialism, alleged scandals in state
government and personalities played
a part in the bitter contest which,
beginning at 2 Ihursday afternoon,
did not end until 4 this afternoon.
- Democrats, nonpartisan leaguers,
six members of the Douglas county
delegation and others aligned them
selves against the opponents Of tne
till. ,
- . Incidentally "Representative James
Hodman of Kimball predicted that
, his stand, as leader of the opposi
tion, had been heralded as his po
s litical downfall. -
"Mavbe it is," Rodman shouted,
"but Twill not change overnight for
political expediency my convictions
that this bill is a step toward state
socialism. .
Continuing. Rodman questioned
the reason that -induced Representa
tive Snow of Chadron to change his
, stand on the bill. t
Questions Snow's Change. .
"Last night Snow was for it to
4he- dotting of an i ,and the crossing
s of a t." Rodman declared. "Today
he is leading the fight for the bill."
'' Rodman attacked the bill on these
points: First, he declared it encour
aged state socialism. Second, he de
clared that there was no guarantee
' that the $100,000 would be returned,
especially if there was much hail
f this year when the losses would
run hundreds of thousands of dol
lars bevond the revolving fund.
Third, he declared it was utterly
unfair to cut premiums below those
. of regular insurance companies and
attempt to compete with them. Last,
he -declared that the zone charges
worked an unfair hardship on west
ern Nebraska farmers who were
fnore interested in cattle than wheat.
, . Friends of the bill declared the
state had the same right to appro-

stress facing the lanticr.
-Governor's Stand Question.
Rodma quoted J.-E. Hart, secre
. ; tar of the denartment of trade and
commerce, as being against the bill.
' He also declared that Hart told him
Governor McKelvf5vas against the
i bill.
"That statement is false." Rcpre-
scntative Vance shouted. The gov
ernor told me he was for a 'good'
"j bill." . - ; i ,

most sensational day at this session.

jumped into a fight as bitter on the
bridge proposition, There was lit
tle argument over the claim by Med
lar, backed by a map showing the
.two bridge locations, that the south
bridge was the cheaper, better and
more feasible proposition.
The chief argument against the bill
rvas the present law which specifies
a method nv locating bridges, it was
cjaimed locating a bridge by legis
lative enactment is unconstitutional
and would be the beginning of drag
ging hundreds of county bridge
rows beforefuture legislatures.
House Call Fails.' .
An attempt of Hascall to get a
call of the house to put absent mem
bers, on record failed when Repre
sentative Williams, acting chairman,
ruled the motion out of order. Wil
liams voted against the bill. Repre
sentative Byrum declared that the
Williams ruling was in direct oppo
sition to the rulesi which he claimed,
stated a call of the house in com
mittee of the whole Was in order.
The lobbying on the bill has been
intense"' and at a committee meet

ed. Big property interests are in
volved and the Compton boulevard
story aired in Omaha atnhc last
election was reviewed orr the floor
of the house.

Colds are due to germs. No one
can prevent the germs from getting
into your nose and throat. But you
can help keep plenty of strong,
vigorous, "antibodies" in your blood
to fight and kill off the nasty "cold
germs ' before they do you anyJ
narm. .
To develop these germ destroying: "anti
bodies" properly, you must have plenty of
pure rich, red blood and a strong, vigorous
constitution in fact, this is the best pre
ventative agaihBt almost any disease.
If you are weak, nervous or run-down,
or subject to colds, take no chances. Ore
day you may develop serious throat,
bronchial or lung trouble vr perhaps pneu
monia and you may go off like a shot.
Therefore commence to enrich your blood
and fortify yourself against "disease
germs" today. To build more and better
blood and make stronger nerves, there is
nothing superior to NUXATED IRON as
it contains organic iron like the iron in
your blood combined with a product rep
resenting the principal chemical constit
uent" of active living nerve force for feed
ing the nerves. Nuxated Iron may there
fore be said to be both a blood and a- nerve
food. It often increases the bodily and
mental vigor, strength and endurance in
two weeks' time.
Over 4.000,000 people are using it an
nually. It has been highly endorsed by
former United States Senators, U. S. Army
Generals, many physicians and) prominent

Federal Plums for Ne
braska Problematical.
Washineton, March 4. (Special
Telegram.) The meeting of the Ne
braska delegation, which was to have
been held Saturday morning to con
sider further the patronage situation
as it applies to the state, has been
postponed on account of the funeral
services in the house chamber Sat
urday morning for its late minority
leader and former speaker, Champ
Clark.
Just when the delegation will get
toccther for the purpose of making
recommendations for Nebraska's fed
eral jobs is problematical in view of
the absence of two or three of the.
members during the month. Con
gressman Jefferts, who is due to try
several law suits in the courts of the
state, expects to leave Saturday or
Sunday and Congressman Reavis has
indicated that he hopes to leave for
Falls City abot March iO.
With these two members out oi tne
city, to be followed a little later by
Congressman Andrews, it would ap
pear almost an impossibility to hold
a meeting of the delegation and ex
pect to secure any affirmative ac
tion before the extraordinary session
of the 67th congress, which, it is
pretty well understood, will convene
on April 4, unless the failure of the
navy appropriation bill should
prompt President Harding to call
the congress together at an earlier
date. '-
Long Delay in Sight. v(
Congressman Andrews said that
there were a number of questions as
to patronage that could not be set
tled without the presence of the
whole membership and, as ft was
necessary for Mr. Jefferis to go home
at once on account of legal business,
could not see any hope of a mee
ing until the new congress Con
vened. ' ,
' "Then again, Judge Kmkaid, who
is a member ot tne committee on
committees, probably will be meet
ing with that committee almost daily,
and it would be impossible for him
to attend a meeting of the delega
tion," said Mr. Andrews. "So it is
obvious that we stand a pretty poor
snow of getting together in the near
future. We need the viewpoint'- of
every member in deciding patronage
matters and it is no use going ahead
without a full attendance of the
members."

utory term of fours years expired on
July 24, 1920, while renominated,
was never confirmed and lve has been
serving ever since under his com
mission to hold the office until his
successor has been dujy qualified.
The same is true ,of Judge Looniis,
the collector of interna.1 revenue. He
was "commissioned on July 17, 1916,
and his statutory term expired on
July 17 of last year.
He has been holding oflke ever
since by virtue of the terms of his
commission. Botlv these offices are
due to be filled by republicans when
the president makes the nominations,
the Nebraska delegation having made
its recommendation in the meantime.
Committee changes' will interest
Judge Kincaid for the next few
weeks, the first meeting of the com
ing session scheduled fo"iv Saturday
afternoon at 2 o'clock, when a chair
man, a secretary and a sergeant-at-arms
will be selected.
Generally Satisfied.
Generally the members from Ne
braska arc pretty well satisfied with
their committee. Judge Kinc'kd,
as dean of the delegation, is quite
content to remain as chairman of
the committee on the irrigation of
arid lands, a Aommittee that will
have much constructive legislation
before it during the next congress.
Congressman Reavis stands high
on tb judiciary committee, being
fifth on the republican side. He is
also a member of the joint com
mittee on reorganization of the de
partments. There is an insistent demand from
the Nebraska members and many
western representatives that Mr.
Andrews should be put forward for
a place on the banking and currency
enmhiittee in view of the fact that
as the committee is now constituted
there is only one, member from the
transmississippi territory, Represen
tative Stronk of Kansas. Mr. An
drews likes his work on the com
mittee of - public buildings and
grounds and is decidedly averse to
giving up this committee as he is
also a member of the committee on
the election of president, vice presi
dent and - representatives in con-
cress and exDenditures in the Treas
ury department. He would be
compelled , to give .up these ' two
places for a place on a majorcom
mittee like banking and currency.
Congressman McLaughlitvis ideal
ly placed on the agricultural com
mittee. When he secured this appoint
ment twa years ago he was con
gratulated on making a major com
mittee in his first term. Since his
appointment he has moved up from
10th place to fourth place by reason
of transfers and failure in elections
and it is just possile he might be
given third place should Purnell, of
Indiana, decided to go elsewhere.
Mr. McLaughlin, representing an
agricultural state and district, be
lieves he can do best service by re
maining where Jie is.
Congressman Evans is tired of
his assignment to the committees
on labor, roads and war claims, and
he has frankly stated to Judge Ifin-
