Omaha daily bee., 1907-01-25


made a special order for a week from to-
day.
s. F. So by King went over for one day. |
1t is a bill giving second-olass cities hav-
ing less than 5000 population and villages
power to grant franchises for less than |
twenty years.
A long debate followed the reading Of
Eppersons bill relating to county teachers !
Institutes Randall led the fight on It and
moved II be indefinitely postponed. The
bill would require the county superinten-
dent to hold the institute during June,
July or August Randall said It was I'M
just to require the teachers to break their
vacations when the institute might be held
at some other time Just as we'll Epper-
son cited an instance in his own county
in which the superintendent held the in
stitute in March against the protest Of the
FIVE high schools in the county. Randalrs
motion was lost and the bill recommended
for passage
A communication from the state Journal
company relating to the resolution adopted
Monday, directing the attorney general TO
begin suit to collect the penalties for fall
ure Of the journal company to return
printed senate files within three days of
the delivery OF the copy to the printer.
The communication says the company has
exceptions for every session of the legis-
lature since 1879 and the provision of tho
statute has never been exacted. The pro-
visions 1t continues, would work hard
ship now because of the unprecedented
number Of bills introduced into the senate
during the first twelve days of the session.
II suggests the matter be referred to
committee The communication closes with
the statement IL the Legislature considers
It necessary to require an exact enforce
ment OF the terms the Journal company
would not object to a cancellation of the
contract and would waive all its rights
under It.
After the communication had been read,
Epperson, who introduced the resolution
referred to, said he did it because this was
a. reform legislature, and as the State
Journal had been waving the flag of re-
form In the vanguard OF the procession, he
wanted to call its attention to that fact.
The discussion was growing humorous
when a motion to adjourn until afternoon
was made and carried.
At the afternoon session the committee
on live stock and grazing reported favor
ably on the following bills:
S. F. l31-By Latta OF Burt. Providing a
penalty of one to ten years in the peni-
| Tertiary for bringing into the state or
disposing of stolen horses.
S. F. 1S2-By Latta. Prescribing a penalty
| Of from one to ten years in the penitentiary
| for bringing into the state or disposing OF
stolen cattle
! The committee manufacturing and
commerce reported favorably on S. F. IS,
which requires a public hearing before the
granting of pardons or communication Of
| sentences of convlcts. The committee Of
/ fered an amendment providing the law
should not apply where imprisonment would
endanger the life OF the prisoner.
The committee on internal improvements
reported favorably on Senator Kings bill
relating to the abolition of dover to the
injured party in a divorce suit.
The senate then went into committee Of
the whole, with Senator Epperson in the
chair. The entire session of the commit
tee was taken up in a discussion of s. F.
129, by Wilcox providing that in counties
of 1900 or more the county judge should
be an attorney. Byrnes of Platte moved
to amend by making il apply only to coun-
ties of $1,000 or more long discussion
on the merits and dement's Of lay judges
followed and finally the amendment car
ried twenty voting for it. Wilson OF
