4 omar LreBLArrVE RECORD.

n NNEAA hhNAnhAAAFG hhNUftDs
The Thirtieth Nebraska legislature,
Just closed. has left a great record.
The record of this legislature will
stand out by contrast with the records
OF preceding legislative bodies in this
state, irrespective Of the political party
in control, and 1t will compare favor
ably within the field of state legisla-
ton with the unexampled record of the
long session of the last congress in the
field of national legislation.
The Thirtieth Nebraska legislature
will be known as a legislature that has
done things 1t will enjoy the unique
distinction of having redeemed in sub
stantial manner every pledge of reform
upon which it's members we're elected
by the people, to say nothing of other
important reform measures enacted
without specific prediction promise.
The list of important bills enacted into
law includes many of which any one
would rank as epoch making. This list
includes:
The railway commission law.
The anti-pass law.
The terminal tau law.
The 2-cent fare law.
Tho commodity rate law.
The anti-lobby law.
The employers liability law.
Tho removal OF $1,000 death habil-
ity Limit.
The anti-discrimination law.
The direct primary law.
The child labor law.
The deoodents law.
The pure food law.
The bulk sales law.
The Board of Pardons law.
Constitutional amendment enlarg-
ing supreme court.
Constitutional am endment for school
fund Investment.
Each of these measures will work
revolution of pernicious practices that
previously prevailed. Those relating
to the regulation of railroads and other
common carriers, the stopping of rail-
road tax Sinking, the abolition of free
passes and the nomination of public
officers by direct popular vote, taken
all together, are we'll calculated to
supplement the work Of congress under
the direction of President Roosevelt to
the end of relieving the people of Ne
braska of railroad domination in poll
tics. From this point of view, the
legislature just closed, If its laws prove
effective, will go down into history as
the great emancipation, freeing our peo-
pie from political bondage to the rail-
road corporations by striking of fet-
ters more destructive of liberty than
any by which human slaves were ever
shackled.
No legislative body could accomplish
this great work without personalities
within it's membership far above the
average. Both senate and house proved
fortunate in the possession of men of
real ability and answering purpose.
1t would be invidious to mention
names, but the strong men will be
heard from further in our public life,
while those who turned reputation
lists will find 1t hard, If not impossible,
to shake off the odium of broken
promises.
Incidentally share of the credit for
this record belongs to Governor Shell
don, whose personal influence was ever
present for keeping faith with the peo-
pie, and to the untrammelled news
papers, which, under the lead of The
Bee, constantly reminded the law
makers of what was expected Of them
by the people and insisted that every
promise be uneQuivocally redeemed.
