down. The only serious opposition to any
bill was to the one introduced by Burns
making county, district and supreme judges
Ineligible to any except judicial offices.
At the beginning of the session Burns
of Lancaster introduced a resolution re-
questing the Nebraska delegation in con-
gress to oppose the ship subsidy bill on
the ground it favors certain interests and
is not in the interests of the people The
resolution went over a day.
Epperson of Clay offered memorial from
1O6 or his constituents favoring his bill to
place telephone companies under the control
of the Railway commission. The attempt
Of the judiciary committee to have in
definitely postponed s. F. 40, by Aid
rich, providing for a commission to pro-
pose amendments to the constitution, failed
at least for the present, and the senate at
the request of Aldrich recommitted the bill
| for further action.

| action directing the attorney general to be-
| gin suit against the State Journal to re-
