The Christmas trees, beautifully

formed the central attraction at each

Of Many Democrats.
Lincoln Dec 26-GovernorE Elect
Shallenbergor may get through thus
next two weeks without taking
hand in the organization of the legis-
lature, but he is already the object
of considerable criticism because of
the activity of his man, Arthur Null
len of O'Neill
While Democrats generally do not
know why it is Shallenberger appoint
ed Mullen oil inspector and what is
the tie that binds them, some other
Democrats have an idea. This is the
explanation they give
Mullen was president of the Bryan
Volunteers and as such officer visited
many parts of Nebraska soliciting
members and getting voters interest
ed in the move. Instead, however, of
devotng his time to organizing Bryan
volunteers for work during the cam
paign it is reported that he boosted
the candidacy of Mr.. ShallcnbcrEer
for the Democratic nomination for
governor. One of the candidates for
the nomination at that time probably
could tell some interesting history
along that line were he talkative. SO
Shallenberger is under obligations to
Mr.. Mullen.

recommendations of Veterinarian.
Deputy State Veterinarian Charles
A. MCKim recommends in his biennial
report to Governor Sheldon that the
state veterinarians department be re
moved from under the direct control
of the governor and be placed in
charge of a live stock sanitary board,
consisting of five members appointed
by the governor, each to serve for a
term of five years, but in such a way
that one member will retire annually.
DR.. McKim says the work of his
department has more than doubled
since 1906 and at the present time it
is an impossibility for one man to
properly care for it or to answer all
the calls made upon him to examine
animals supposed to be suffering from
contagious, infections, transmissible
diseases. He renews his request that
the Legislature appropriate more
money for assistant state veterinarians
who are now allowed S. a day for
their services.
At the present time only 5000 a year
is allowed for assistants and DR.. Nc
Kim says this is not more than one
sixth of what it should be. He recon-
mends that three of the members of
the proposed live stock sanitary board
shall be financially interested in live
stock and two practicing veterinar-
ians, graduates of a recognized veteri-
nary college The board should have
