Extra Member Question.

The next General Assembly is in trou-
BILE even before its sitting. Under the
constitution there can be but 100 MEN,
bers of the Legislature, but under the
provisions Of the reapportionment act
there will be 101 members, and this
being unconstitutional would invali-
date the acts of the Legislature.
II is declared that the two hold-over
senators from the Twenty-siNth dis
trict will not resign, while under the
law there are to be eighteen senators
elected and eighteen hold-overs, thus
giving the upper house one more than
it ought to have. Attorney General
Pos; has given out an opinion as to
what he thinks will be the best thing
for the secretary of state to do. He
says:
Having carefully considered the
question of a surplus representation in
the Fourteenth General Assembly, ow-
ing to the provisions of the apportion-
ment act OF 1901. there will be eight
cen hold-over senators and eighteen
senators TO be elected at the next cleo
ton, and as such election will be the
only election where such difficulty can
arise. l reach this solution OF the ques-
ton:
''First-It will not avail for either
SeuttOF tAoDcEls Ol tue Olu Ntiltu uis-
trict or Senator West of the old Eighth
district to resign. This would leave a
vacancy in either case, which would
have to be filed and thus more sena-
tors would be elected than the consti-
tuition allows.
Secondly view is that Senator
West represents the Eighth district.
which Is composed of jefferson and
Clear Creek counties; this leaves Sem
ator Roberts to represent the Twenty
sixth district. composed OF Gilpin.
Clear Creek, jefferson and Boulder
counties. and that at the coming cleo
the Twenty-sixth district .as this will
leave the number to be elected ut sew
enteen. which. with the eighteen legal
ly elected. qualified and acting hold
over senators, will make the requisite
number OF thirty-tive.
so, II the secretary Of state, in IS
suing the call for the election of SEN
ators for the Fourteenth General As
sembly. finds that the Twenty-sixth
senatorial district is now in part rep
resented by hold-over senator. Hon.
H. l. Roberts of Clear Greek county,
there can arise no disability, making
the acts of the Fourteenth General As
sembly obnoxious constitutionally OH
account OF Gilpin county not having
had 4 part in the election Of senator
for the Fourteenth General Assembly.
The case of Hughes against FELTON,. IL

sition.''

PENSIONING RAILWAY
EMPLOYEES.

1t is a noteworthy fact that the
railroad corporations in this couu-
try were the first to set the eX-
cellent example among large en-
plOyers of labor Of establishing a
pension system for employees inca
pacitated by age or physical inabil-
ity for further service. The
Pennsylvania road has had such a
system in operation for several
years, and now the Reading Rail-
way company has announced a
similar plan. All employees not
appointed by the board of directors
to executive positions, who have
reached the age Of seventy years,
will be retired, and if they have
been in the empIoye of the com
pany thirty years they will be
pensioned. All employees. over
sixty. five years old, who have been
in the service for thirty years, and
who have become incapacitated,
will be retired aud pensioned.

by the demangOgie talk about the

Miss Bullock insists on the books
sent out to the rural districts being
returned in good condition. From this
cast iron rule there is no deviation for
the property Of the state must be pre-
served and protected from carelessness.
She refused to make an exception for
a Blaine county youngster even though
the lad lost 4 whole months gopher
money. The latter. of course, means
the reward paid by farmers and others
for ground squirrel scalps.
One day this youngster had ap-
preached the teachers desk for the
purpose of refilling an ink bottle. This
process completed, the kid marched
back towards his seat. He made
grand flourish at a freckle faced girl
across the aisle. OF course he didn't
mean to spill the ink but he did. 1t
wouldn't happen once again in a thous-
and years, probably. but the fluid
splattered over two pages of one of the
histories belonging to the library COM
mission.
Miss Bullock couldn't say that the
book was in good condition and insist
ed that the loss must be made good. OF
course she was sorry but regrets didn't
go. The youth came CALAMITY to the
rescue. He had gopher money pain
fully acquired by drowning out the ami
mails With this he paid the bill and
the great state of Nebraska was APP
peased.
Miss Bullock will, in the near future,
make a jaunt throughout the state
lecturing on library topics. At Gull
bertson she will speak on June 18th
and will visit Holdrege on the 18th and
Sidney on the list. Dates with several
other cities will be announced later.
