Discussion of Corn
Snow Sheds for Roads
Produces Merriment
Lincoln, March 7. (Special.)
The state senate got a quarter hour
of merriment out of S. F. No. 262
by Senator Clarence G. Bliss, bank
er of Elm Creek, authorizing a bonus
to farmers who grow 10 rods of corn
on the north side of highways to
serve as a snowshed in the winter,
before jt advanced the bill to third
reading.
After Senator Bliss had finished a
sober plea for the bill, in commit
tee of the whole, Senator Miller of
Washington remarked that it was a
fine thing for the bankers, enabling
them to go out in the winter and see
the farms they would own by
spring.
Senator Gannon arose to opine
that it would help the mail man get
through roads to deliver reading
matter for lonesome bachelors. Sen
ator Miller is a bachelor.
Senator Good saw in the cornfields
a good place to hunt rabbits. Sen
ator Norval argued that bankers
ought to .know what farmers want.
Senator Hoagland stopped the fun
by proposing that the bill be ad
vanced before the senate "kid itself"
out of the notion. It was duly rec
ommended for third reading.
Measure Regulating f
Disposal of Animal
Carcasses is Killed
Lincoln, March 7. (Special.)
A fight in Ihe Nebraska state sen
ate led by Senator Hoagland againsv
S. F. No. 313, regulating the dis
posal of dead animals, who charged
that the bil was to create a mono
ly for rendering plants, successful
ly defeated the bill in committee or
the whole Monday.
The bill provided for the licensing
of persons and corporations engageo
in the handling of such animals, and
forbade them to be disposed ol
through any other soufce except
burial.
"In other words, a farmer can't
sell a dead animal except to the
trust, although he may buy it," Sen
ator Hoagland argued.
Speaking for the bill, Senator Good
tot the agricultural committee in
sisted that there was no ulterior mo.
tive behind the measure other than
to impose such restrictions aswould
. prevent . the .. spread of contagion
from the carcasses.
The senate passed to third, reading
S. F. No. 293, an amendment de
signed to correct the defects in the
consolidated school law of 1919.

House Votes to Place
Ex-Soldier in Charge
. Of Home for Soldiers
Lincoln, Marcji 7. (Special.)
Charges of bad management of the
Soldiers' home at Grand Island wer
made on the floor of the lower housx
today by Representative Wallace.
"I am for the soldiers every time,
but in the selection of a head of any
institution efficiency should be the
first consideration as it is through
efficiency that the inmates of the
home get the best treatment," Wal
lace said.
Wallace was opposing a bill by
Representative McClcllan, which
would force the board of control
to appoint no one excepting an ex
soldier at the head of the solditrs'
home.
McClellan declared "the boys who
were good enough to go across and
risk their lives were good enough
to hold down this job.
Wallace's opposition to the bill was
futile. It passed the committee of th
whole.

Per Cent Butter Fat Sent
To Third Reading.

senate, in committee of the whole
Monday morning by a vote of 8 to
20, sent S. F. No. 254, permitting ice
cream pf 10 per cent content, to third
reading.

became precarious, an amendment
was offered by Senator Bliss to com
promise on a 12 per cent test. This
was lost on ' a rising vote, by 16
to 10.
fhe test vote was take,n on a mo
tion to postpone by Senator Miller,
when a roll call was demanded. It
lost 8 to 20.
Taunts Senate.
Senator Miller taunted the senate
with seeking to loweT the ..standard
of ice cream to help manufacturers,
at the expense of . consumers and
milk producers.
He said the senate was not bound
to grant the request of manufacturers
even if they did bring up two freez
ers of ice' cream and treat the mem
bers last week, to show the impos
sibility of telling the difference of
the two qualities by the taste.
benator Humphrey, whose name
was on the bill along -wh Senator
Norval's and five others, repudiated
the affiliation and said-, he was
against the bill. ".' .

bill were Cronin, Oannon, Haider

Bill Introduced by

privilege of introducing bills in the
legislature after the 20-day limit
Lieut. Gov. P. A. Borrows presented
to the Nebraska state, senate Monday
morning a bill to relieve the water
bond situation in the city of Seward,
Neb.
The city has $21,000 in old 4Vi
per cent water bonds which mature
in June, this - year. The city can
only pay them off with refunding
bonds, but the ; resent law prohibits
the interest on refunding bonds be
ing greater than that of the original
issue.
Since 44 per cent bonds are unsalable-and
would result in a hard
ship to the city, the .bill provides
that these bonds be allowed to pay
6 per cent. '
Mayor C. T. Joerns and a delega
tion trom Seward laid the matter
before the acting governor Monday,
with a proposed bill, which the act
ing governor introduced in a mes

Lincoln. March 7. (Special.)
Election of members of the sifting

committee, which is to begin "cull
Monday, is giving members with
pet bills no end of anxiety and
alignments to put "friendly" mem

were under way today.

district. A majority of the district
caucuses will be held Wednesday aft

up the second congressional district,
is split on its. choice for committee
membership.
Several Candidates.

first only Robertson, Randall ad
Hascall were mentioned. Since that
time Ed Palmer and Harry Foster
have launched their candidacies.

new member, hasn t asked for a
thing up to the .present time and lie
has proved to be a conscicntuous and

urging his election because he lost
the speakership by a close margin
and because of his candidacy for
that position he lost out in election
