after the session Is well under way, how
busy he does not yet realize He has a
place on the railroad committee and on
the committee on state prison and the one
on drainage.
| The committee on drainage is likely to
prove important, for the state is waken
ing to the possibility of retaining a large
acreage that Is now useless. The necessity
Of enacting a general law that win apply
to all conditions is becoming recognized
and this new committee has been added to
the list in both house and senate. Senator
Laverty is chairman of the drainage COM
mittee. as he has the big Saunders county
problem to wrestle with, the overflow there
last year near the mouth OF Salt creek
doing immense damage. II will be noted
that Senator Laverty is a republican and
that he is on the railroad committee.
Colonel Majors of Peru is on the railroad
committee also.
Republicans are not complaining of their
treatment, though a careful examination
OF the committee list does not disclose a
decided preference for any of the members
Of two years ago who stood for progressive
corporation legislation. Senator wiltse,
! who fought for the 2-cent fare act, is on
the committee on county boundaries, fish
and game, judiciary. library. manufacturing
