Mt. Butler made an earnest and effective
plea for the farmers Of Nebraska to join
forces in a determined effort to secure ade-
quate protection and preservation OF their
interests against the Entertainments OF the
elevator trust. the grain mems combination
and the railroads. He impressed the i'm
perative necessity OF cheaper rates, better
shipping facilities and last, elevators
owned and operated by the farmer himself.
Let the farmer be the producer and seller
OF his own grain va then he can reap the
profit. was the burden of his plea.
Discussing the Farmers Cooperative
Shipping association. Mr.. Hoffman said:
1t will be incorporated under the laws of
S2610o divided into ma9 shares OF SO
each. 1t will build or buy elevators in
Kansas and adjoining states and territories
and sell to the best markets, dividing
profits among the stockholders in the way
of dividends upon the stock and premiums

stockholders. Stocks will receive s per
cent dividends from the net earnings after
servative policy may dictate into the re-
serve and betterment fund. The balance

Had the legislature remained in session
this afternoon Governor Mickey would
have transmitted TO It a communication
on the Dietrich land pleasing bill, now
pending before the national congress. He
will transmit the document tomorrow. This
comes from the governors own ONCE.
1t is pretty we'll understood that the gov
ernor Will not mcke any favorable recon-
mendations for this bill. He will not, II is
understood, ask the legislature to memori-
alize congress to pass the bill, as he has
been petitioned to do by the Nebraska del
eeation in the national house and senate.
His action, therefore, II is safe to predict,
will be satisfactory to the stockmen OF
this state who have exerted their energies
TO defeat this bill.

Secretary Hitchcock has recommended the
passage by congress Of the Dietrich bill"
why. certainly; why shouldn't he want
his own measure to pass? But the secre-
tary Of the interior must not think that his
ideas or Wishes constitute any criterion for
the people or the legislature OF the state
OF Nebraska, where the working out OF the
bill. should It be enacted into law, would
take place.

stir when he introduced "a resolution in
the house this morning authorizing the
committee on public printing to ascertain
the particulars OF the contract for printing
the house journals.

about this important NATTER said Mr..
sweeEyi and / simply took this r.eans OF
finding out" d, .,.s En-. ~.
Mr.. sweezy thought the lines were
printed too far apart and that money would
be saved by economizing on space and
using fewer leads. .aIfzAr Np.a5A
Anderson ofqKnox. chairman OF this COIN
mittee, had this to say Of the matter: -f7ss
II understand the contract was, let to
the State Journal company by the State
Printing board and that II called for TWEEN
ty-hve lines to a page at $1.34 a page. with
500 copies Of each bill l have. not fully
satisfied myself on this point, but that is
my understanding at present.
Mr.. Sweezy and other members Of the
house are OF the opinion that the house
should have had the right to make it's
own printing contract and proposes to go
into the matter fully. -
