arg
The governor is still considering the mat
ter Of the appointment Of the South Omaha
Police commission. Late this afternoon an
other delegation called upon him, as did
also ex-Representative Shelly. Mr.. Shelly
\ said that the delegation headed by David
PAnderson which called several days ago
had recommended, among the names It pre-
scented to the governor. several parties that
probably would be acceptable to the people
Of South Omaha. While some members of
that delegation were bitterly opposed to sa-
looms he said, a majority we're very con-
sentative men. As for himself, Mr.. Shelly
said he wanted a police commission COM
posed OF good, conservative men, and with
that end In view he was willing to lend to
governor all the assistance within his
Dower
The oil inspector, whose appointment has
apparently been sidetracked to make way
for the South Omaha delegations, will be
appointed, SO Governor Mickey said today,
the latter part Of the week. The deputy
game warden win not be appointed before
the nrst Of June or July.
Reasons for Veto.
While the labor unions are rejoicing and
adopting resolutions Of thanks because Gov
ernor Mickey vetoed the exemption bill
passed by the late legislature, the retail
merchants who secured the passage of the
measure are censuring the governor. Gov
ernor Mickey fled his reasons for dlsap-
proving the bill with his veto. According
70 the new bill. IL a ~laboFing man or other
received $50 a month. So OF this was SUBJ
Jcct, to 'gafnigtmept each month; 1t prob,
ably would cost the working man IS to $40
to have his salary garnisheed. A second
call OF the attorney Of the employer would
subject the employe to dismissal. The
present law exempts two months wages of
the working man. Inasmuch as all others
have exempt a homestead worth 1000, the
governor thought It no more than right
that the laboring man should have at least
the two months wages as given him under
the present Law.

As a result of the action of the Board
of Public Lands and Buildings in upholdins
the contract It made with the Lee Broom
and Duster company and deciding against
