Supreme Court
Commission Bill
Killed in House
Lewy
era and Administration
Forces Defeated by Mem
bers Favoring Re
districting. mi. i 4
Lincoln, April 8. (Special,)
' Lawyers and state administration
members of the lower-house went
down to the most disastrous (defeat
of the session today when the su
preme court commission bill was
killed by vote of 46 to AS. This, in
the face of a rneisage from Governor
McKjtlvie asking for the continua
tion ot tile commission tor two more
years. .
Charges that by killing the com
mission and putting a heavy burden
of work on the supreme court prop
er would be the only means of ever
getting Nebraska judicial districts re
districted in compliance with the new
constitution were made by Kepre
sentatives Lynn, Snow and others
fighting the bill. It also was charged
that at the time the supreme court
commission was created a solemn
promise was made that it would be
discontinued in two years and that
this promise has Been broken.
Will Delay Work.
Friends of the commission de
clared that if it were put out of busi
ness the supreme court would run
months behind in its work and liti
gants and. lawyers would suffer, .
, A bill fecteating the commission
was killed by the senate several
weeks ago and a similar bill was
killed in a, standing committee of the
lower house ashort time later. Then
lawyer members of the, house and
senate petitioned Governor McKcIvie
to throw his influence behind an at
tempt to keep the commission in ex
istence. A message from the gov
ernor outlining the desire of the
lawyer members and a new bill re
creating the tommission resulted.
Meantime- 'a bill redisricting" Ne
braska judicial districts appeared on
the lower house calendar. Nebras
ka, under the terms of this bill, was
divided iqto nine districts, three
judges to each district excepting the
Omaha and Lancaster county dis
tricts. This was in accordance with the
new constitutional requirements call
ing for redisricting and providing
that the district judges should be
called in ' to- sit on supreme , court
cases when that court was crowded
and thus do away with the heavy ex
pense of ,a supreme court commis
sion. Tin's bill was killed in com
mittee of the whole through the ef
forts, cf Representatives Rodman,
Jeary and other Jawyer membera
who today fought for the recreation
of the supreme court commission.
Lawyer Opposes Bill.
There was ,j3rte attorney, in the
lower house who refused " to join
forces with other members of his
profession and fought the bill bit
terly. That was Representative Ep
arien of Clay, author of the re
(iistriciing bill,., which was killed.
