LINCOLN, Dec. Acknowledgements
shallenberger. who Tuesday announced
that he would accept the invitation OF
Governor Haskell for a conference of the
executives of Oklahoma. Kansas and Ne
braska Yesterday wrote the following letter
to the Oklahoma governor:
II have your telegram relative to the
of a conference to be held by those
officially Interested in and empowered
with the enforcement of the guaranty of de-
posits law in the states of Kansas, okla
and Nebraska,
In reply 1 will say hat 1t seems to me
that the suggestion is a good one and l
will be very glad to assist in any way,
The laws of the three states have all been
attacked upon different points and the
federal courts in Nebraska and Kansas
have enjoined the laws of these respective
states for different reasons, and. as you
suggest. It seems TO me highly to be de-
sired. that the lawyers having in charge
the cases for the different states, and the
executive departments having in charge
the enforcement OF the laws, should mu-
tually confer and agree as to a general
policy.
II will be very glad to hear from you
further in the matter, as doubtless you
have given it attention. and I would like
to know If it is your idea to hold the con-
ference in one OF the respective states, or
to confer at the time of the meeting OF
governors. called for January IS, next, at
Washington, D. c."
sackett Law InvOked.
Governor Shallenberger has been called
upon to invoke the Sackett law against
certain officials at Brady, out in Lincoln
county. The complainant wrote the gov-
ernor today that the village license board
granted a license to a s-aloonkeeper and
that the matter was taken into court and
the supreme court instructed the licensing
body to revoke its action.
The complainant said the board did re-
woke the license, but within a few hours
issued another one to the same party and
the saloon is now running full blast, in
violation of the court.
More Extra Session Talk.
From Kearney this morning Governor
Shallenberger received a well-marked pa
per containing interviews with prominent
citizens favoring the calling Of an extra
session Of the state Legislature. Among
the number anxious for the extra session
is Judge w. D. Oldham. He desires 1t in
order to nave re-snacted some OF the legis-
lation which the late legislature fell down
upon last winter.
Among those who called yesterday in
opposition to an extra session was Repre-
sentative ScheIe of Seward county.
Il see no use OF the extra session." said
the Seward county statesman as he
brushed from his clothes some Of the dust
Of California, from which place he had
returned. Il am not so sure but what
the initiative and referendum is all right,
but the bill was killed last winter and
there is no grounds for believing that it
will be passed at an extra session. Ii
would simply be a burden on the tax
payers and no good would come of it that
1 can see. I believe IL is about time to
the costs to the taxpayers. We
have enough laws for awhile. at least un-
I'll the next Legislature meets"
'Twix job and Union.
Labor Commissioner Maupin will be up
against a very embarrassing proposition
when the Nebraska State Federation OF
Labor meets next week in South Omaha.
as the labor unions have so
seriously objected to the governor max
ing a contract with a shirt factory for the
use OF the penlIentlaIy conFlclSs IL ~ pre-
sumed a resolution will be passed express
ing the sentiment OF the state federation
regarding this matter, Maupin himself
opposed vigorously the first contract Of
the kind proposed TO the governor and
the latter declined 10 approve il, but
Maupin was out OF the city when the
second was presented by Colonel Berry
man Of the governors staff, so IL was
signed. Maupin holds his place by the
grace Of the governor.
