Mr.. GallOgy's work.

JOHNSTOWN, Neb., Dec. e.-(Special)-
Hon. o. Gallogly, who will represent this
(the Fifty-frsD district in the coming
session Of the legislature, will favor a
stringent game law, one that will suppress
the refrigerators. which encourage the
wholesale destruction OF Nebraska game
and insectivorous birds. These birds are
being rapidly destroyed through the unre-
lentlng efforts OF market hunters, at a
terrible cost to the farmers Of the state.
He will also favor, some action on the
trespass laws OF the state. He regards
them as weak and inefhcient, inasmuch as
at present damage must be proven before
legal relief can be secured. Mr.. Gallogly
believes that not only should a mans house
be his castle, but that his lands should
be sacred from unwelcome intrusion. In
regard to the proposal to change the
basis Of assessment OF property for the
purpose OF taxation he does not see the
materiality Of any plan which would still
take account Of all a poor man has and
permit the rich man to hide his wealth.
Referring to the relief Of the supreme
court he does not think we'll OF the plan
Of establishing a commission, but believes
that the district judges should be called
upon to aid the supreme court at times
when the duties OF their districts leave
them with leisure.
Instead Of the present system Of man
aging our state institutions Mr.. Gallogly
believes that in the interests of good order
efficiency and economy, a Board Of Control
would be an Improvement upon the methods
now in vogue. Instead OF having each in
stitution regarded and treated as a dis
tinct and separate establishment he would
have 1t treated as a unit in a collection
