gram )-senator Burkett today received
copy OF a Joint resolution passed by the
Nebraska legislature. memorializing the
congres Of the United States to pass law
to prevent railroad companies from enjoin-
ing the collection OF state taxes. The sem
ator has replied TO the legislature that he
will present the resolution at the opening
Of congress and that he also expects to
prepare and introduce a bill to cover the
point 1t is known that the senator has had
this legislation in mind for a considerable
time, in fact. has drafted a bill which,
according to his ideas, will meet it. He de-
layed introducing IT, however, until the
decision Of the supreme court in the Ne
braska tax case should be rendered, mas
much as the point covered in that case was
the same as he hoped would be reached by
his bill. The decision did not come out
until the day before congress adjourned,
and It was therefore too late to accomplish
anything by legislation. He expects to take
II up early at the next session of congress.

! between them.
/ "As I understand It, their purpose is t
/ differentiate between the position Of tn,
| two parties on the leading issues. Now
Mr.. Beveridge is working in the interes

ernnent extended. On the other hand, Mr.
! Bryan, although taking a stand opposit

for his policy of government ownership
of railroads.
''This debate OF course, is largely ele
muntary but the questions upon which 1
touches will be threshed out in detail IL
the next congress and as often as tn
questions come up for legislative action
MeRntime, from the activity of the discus
