and stating the amount thersoI ana wneh
closure I'm the same manner as chattel
mortgages are forecloscd, at any time after
said rent or any part thereof is due.
Brady OF Boone said the bill provided
that tho landlord would have a first lien
on all the crop and II would prevent the
tenant from selling a bushel Of grain or
anything else without an order from the
landlord. He said II would prevent tho
grocer or any merchant from collecting
any debt against the tenant until the land
lord was satisfied.
Hasty OF Furnas said the bill was selfish
legislation and It would work a hardship
on all the west portion OF the state.
Speeches in favor OF the bill were made
by Wall. Warner. Alden, UmsteRd. Hall of
Burt and Harrison.
Brady OF Boone made an attempt this
! afternoon to bring forth his. elevator bill
| from the judiciary committee and lost. The
committee was instructed by the senate to
report the bill back last Tuesday. That
evening Chairman Hall OF Douglas asked
for one more day and this was granted by
Brady. This afternoon Brady offered a
motion requiring the committee to report
the bill forthwith. '""
Beghtol offered an amendment that tho
committee be granted one more week.
This was lost by the following vote:

Harrison then moved TO table Brady's
motion, This carried. Inasmuch as the
house has recommended for passage the
Ramsey elevator bill. Il Is thought by the
friends OF tho Brady bill that the senate
will endeavor to substitute the Ramsey
bill for Il. Some OF the friends OF the
senate fle believe the Ramsey bill uncon-
stitutional and for that reason the ele-
Vator men and the railroads are for IL.
