of lawyers in this city who have con-
Quoted big business with "get-rich-

these attorneys and those in the attor-

ton of this matter is continuing.
There is no punishment for these out
side lawyers except that of disbarment
from practice before the department.
This. however, is severe, as by cour-
tesy all departments dis:bar any at

fore any one of them, and he finds his

AS TO STATEHOOD
SENATORS GROW TIRED OF viR.
TUAL DEADLOCK.
A SUBSTITUTE BILL PROPOSED
Some Members Wish to Consolidate
Territories Into Two States-Danger
of Split May Kill sugsestion-Re-
publicans Seek Unanimous Vote.

WASHINGTON. = All indications
point to the conclusion of the state
hood debate during the present week,
but no one can tell at this time just
when or how the change will come.
If the plans of the republican lead
ers who oppose the bill are put into
effect the committee on territories
will bring in a substitute bill early
in the week providing for consolida-
ton and the admission of two
states This will probably not be
done, however, until assurance can
be secured that the full republican
vote will be cast for the consolidation.
/ If this plan does not take shape
Senator Quay is likely to press his
statehood amendment on the agricul-
tural bill and test of strength will
ensue. The vote on this amend
ment will be close, If taken, and
while the omnibus bill advocates
feel that they have majority they
realize that it will not be so large
as it would be on direct vote on
the statehood bill alone and by itself.
There is some talk now of admit
ting only Oklahoma, but if this should
be undertaken it will be only as last
resort and will be postponed until
toward the end of the session. All
senators are becoming restless under
the present conditions, which, it is
believed, cannot continue much
longer. ..''
Monday, in accordance with notice
given by Senator Allison, the bill
making appropriations for the Dis
trict of Columbia will be taken up.
Some clauses will arouse debate, but
advantage will be taken of the oppor-
tunity to further the efforts to COM
promise the differences on the state
hood bill. -"

consideration of the Cuban reciprocity

WOULD LET THE PUBLIC IN.

| Lieutenant Governor McGilton has orig
mated a plan with reference to the con-
sideration of bills before the legislative
committees which he thinks ought to be
| Incorporated in the rules of the senate
over which body he presides. The plan
provides a method whereby all parties in
terested directly or indirectly in any
measure may appear before the COM
mittee having the bill in charge and be
| heard in the discussion of it.
Lieutenant Governor McGilton has
framed his idea in this manner:
All standing committees shall keep a
| calendar of bills in the order in which
they are referred and consider the same
in such order, except where passed by
the vote of a majority of all members
of said committee, in which case the bill
thus passed shall not lose it's place on
the committee calendar. Each standing
committee shall give notice to this body,
through its chairman, at least one day
in advance of the time and place of meet
ing and of the bills to be considered by
il, so that all persons interested may ap-
pear and request a hearing, subject to
such limitations as the committee may
impose.
The lieutenant governor further outlin-
ing his plan, says:
THE time to be heard on any bill is
while it is before the committee. The re-
port of the committee. while not necessa-
rily or inevitably final as to it's DISPOSE
ton, always has a great influence on the
action of the senate or house, to which
ever body it is made. 1t too frequently
happens that a bill gets past the corr
mittee in the senate or house, before the
committee of the whole and is placed on
its final passage before outsiders who
have legitimate interest in the measure
get the opportunity of being heard on it.
They have no way of knowing when the
committee is to consider the bill and
consequently no opportunity of giving
expression to their views. The adoption
of this proposed rule, which could be
used in the house as we'll as the senate,
would obviate all this, and, I think, be
very good thing for many other rea-
sons.''

THE NEBRASKA LEGISLATURE
A Synopsis of Proceedings in Both Branches
of the Twenty Eighth General
Assembly.

member of the joint revenue commit
tee in reference to the task confronting
a subcommittee appointed TO cOdify all
the revisions of the revenue law made
by the committee at large. This COM
mittee consists of these members: Sem
ators Brown and PembertOn, Represent
atives Thompson, Sears. Loomis and
SweeZy. Its work is TO whip into shape
all the fragments of revision thus far
produced by the main committee whose
work is incomplete. Then the main COM
mittee is to resume operations and play
for the goal by means of the codifica-
ton of the subcommittee. Under the
circumstances. therefore, the introduc-
ton of a revenue bill is very indifinite
proposition. Certainly there is good rea-
son for the general opinion that no such
bill will be ready this week and prob
ably not for a month, as the member
quoted intimates. This member does not
look for any sort of complete revenue
BILL but merely a few amendments. BY
this same gentleman the substitution of
the Kansas bill for the Nebraska law

that left ten at the meeting; six of these
voted to repudiate the committees for

and substituting therefor the Kansas
bill. Four opposed it,
