sdhE GOOD LAWS ARE PASSED
Some Talk INDUCED In Of Setting a
Day for Adjournment-Past
Week Busy One for
the Members.

The end of the present session of
the state legislature Is not now very
far away. Already there is talk of
agreement between the two branches
on a day on which to adjourn, and it
is believed that within a fortnight
the labors of the members will be
ended and the session adjourned with
out day.
Taken as a whole, the session has
been good one in more ways than
one.
There has been very little partisan
spirit displayed, the members of both
political parties working in a fair
degree of accord to accomplish good
for the people whom they represent.
1t was while the statewide primary
bill was under discussion the past
week that real partisan talk was in
~dulged in, and this came over the
question of an open" or CLOSED"
primary-the desire of some repub-
licans to SO frame the law as to pre-
clude fusion leading the opposition to
engage in some very strong remarks.
d The house had voted for an open pri-
mary, WHICH would eliminate any
chance of fusion, but the senate, when
the bill was before it for concurrence,
refused to agree to this, and adopted
the closed provision, the five fusion
senators insisting upon the elimina.

fusion or made it unlawful for can

Terminal Taxation Bill.
The terminal taxation bill is fast
nearing the desk of Governor Sheldon,
The senate adopted the report of a
conference committee and the house
took up the same report and acted
The conference committee made little
change in the house amendments. The
bill is S. F. No. 261, by Thomas of
Douglas. AS amended by the house
and the conference committee it pro-
vides that local assessors shall return
to the state board the value of local
tangible property of railroads. The
state board will then value the rolling
stock and the Intangible property. in
Guiding the franchise value, and dis
tribute this to cities and villages un-
der the unit system SO that each city
and village will get the value per mile

Thomas of Douglas, the author OF
the terminal tax bill, was feeling good
over the fact that what might have
proved a fatal defect in the bill was
discovered in time. The mistake
was corrected by the conference com.
mittee by merely prefixing two letters

The important question of appropri-
ations for the biennium is now oc-
cupying the attention of the legisla-
ture. The amounts asked exceed the
appropriation of two years ago. While
requests for larger expenditures should
The wageworker. (Lincoln, Neb.) 1904-????, 1907-03-29

be scrutinized closely, it does not fol-
low that the allowance of larger sums
is extravaganza in every case. Ne
braska has grown rapidly in the past
five years and the demands of state in
situations have legitimately increased.
The state owes a duty to property
care for it's institutions, and it is
financially able to discharge that duty.
1t is true that there is an existing
statute that limits the levy for the
state general fund, and the argument
is used that the appropriations must
not exceed this limit. The legislature
erected this barrier and the legislature
can remove it, If the limit imposed by
statute is inadequate. to meet existing
demands, the statute can be amended.
The estimate of expenditures OF for
mer legislature is not necessarily a
true guide. 1t may be too high; it
may be too low. Appropriations should
be considered on the merits. Whatever
is needed for adequate support should
be given-no more and no less. Be
cause the state has prospered and is
financially able ito discharge it's obi
cations is not a reason for expanding
money uselessly. 1t is reason for
supplying legitimate demands.
House For Terminal Taxation.
Friday the house, by vote of Sc to
40, passed the senate terminal tax bill
with amendments that will have to go
back to the senate. The senate judi
ciary committee has prepared amend
ments to the house direct primary bill
which are yet to be acted upon by the
senate and sent back to the house.
A joint committee has agreed upon
amendments to the anti-pass bill, one
of the party platform measures that
has caused disagreement between the
two legislative branches. The en-
ployers' liability bill and the two-cent
rate bill have been signed by the gov
ernor and the latter is in force. Both
houses agreed on the conference COM
mittee report on the railway commits
sion bill, an act to empower the state
railway commissioners to control and
regulate railroads and other common
carriers and the bill is being enroll
ed to be sent to Governor Sheldon for
his legislature. A pure food bill has
been passed by the senate and is in
the house. The senate has passed a
commodity maximum rate giving the
railway commission power to increase
or lower rates and the bill bids fair
to be well received in the house as
supplemental and temporary legisla-
ton to give relief from high rates I'M
til the railway commission can inves-
tigate and make orders of it's own.
The principal work yet to be accom-
plished is the consideration of appro-
priatiOn bills. Not one of the bills
has reached the senate and only the
salary appropriation bill has passed
the house. That body has been charg-
ed with being unduly liberal in the ex-
