LINCOLN, Jan. Observation-Disclosures
Mockett is still busy working over com
mittees in order TO be able TO make his
announcement when the legislature re-
sumes work next Tuesday. 1t lie his inten-
tion, II IL said. to take care Of the old, ex-
perinced members OF the house and place
them on good committees where they will
be able to do good work.
While Il is asserted that Mr.. Mockett
made no promises OF committee appoint
ments, there was a distinct understanding
with reference to the support Of certain
member OF the Legislature that they would
be provided for according to their wishes.
IL is on this score that the several mem
bers OF the Douglas delegation. who are all
new members, confidently expect to get i'm
portant places. The judiciary committee.
which is ordinarily OF FIRST rank, will prob
ably go to Nelson Of Douglas. the commit
tee on cities and towns to Gilbert. the COM
mittee on militia to Ten Eyck. who was
formerly an offcer in the national guard,
and the committee on corporations, in
which the stock yards is interested, to
Shelly, who is a live stock commission
man. IL lie understood also that the COM
mittee on accounts and expenditures Is to
go to one OF the Gage county members, al
though which one Ia not definitely settled.
The committee on inance, ways and means
will probably fall to DR.. Wilson OF Pawnee.
and the committee on telephones to Dan
Copsey Of Custer.

The speaker was closeted with Judge NJ.
B. Reese. dean Of the law school. and Tom
Majors Of Peru yesterday. The gentlemen
went In together and the presumption is

normal school committee was under die
cussion. This might Indicate that the uni
versi;y and normal school people might not
be averse to joining forces, the one to
keep the school at Peru and the other to
secure the funds necessary to keep the uni
versity in a healthy growing condition. The
program Is believed to include the selection
of Good Of Peru as the chairman Of the
committee, with the understanding that the
university is to be taken care Of. At ali
events, the university is to be taken care Of.
FiEht over Telephones.
1t is evident that one Of the big issues Of
the legislature will be the fight over tele-
phone legislation. The independent COM
panies, which have had representatives on
the ground for some time, are going ia
make a big effort to get laws enacted tina
will allow the companies to break into most
any town in the state. They want to dc
this without having to ask consent o. the
board governing the towns and villages
There are over 100 of these companies and
they want free rein to compete with thu
Bell people. "All we want" said a repre-
sentative Of the company, us the right to
free and full competition with the Bell Tel.
ephone company"
So far the Independent people have
scored. Senator Reynolds OF Dodge count,
is a heavy investor In the Independent
stock and he has been made chairman o.
the committee on miscellaneous corpora
lions. This committee will handle the tele.
phone matter in that body. The company
however, has not the right OF way in thu
house, however. as the work II did before
the election Of Mockett as speaker wal
hardly OF service to him
