BANKING COMMITTEE AND $500 LAW.
YER FINISHED WORK.
WANT CLOCK ON POSTOFFICE
Bill For Agricultural School In South.
western Part OF The Slate Is Killed.
MiIIer'S Bill For Pure Agricui.
tura Seeds Also Killed.

After seven weeks Of strenuous
effort and the final employment
Of $500 lawyer, the banking
committee has finally formulated
bill for guarantee Of bank de-
poSits and introduced it in the
House on the day of Mr.. B,yan's
address TO the joint session.
While many democrats assert
that the bill is not what they
want, they reluctantly admit
that it is the best they can do.
The bill as presented, develops
no new ideas and is much
simpler measure than h c
guarantee bills previously in
troduced by Volpp in the Senate
and Wilson in the house, both of
which measures it is designed to
replace, 1t collects guarantee
fund Of one per cent of the gross
deposits Of the banks. leaves the
guarantee in the banks from
which it is raised, and provides
for practically immediate pay
ment Of the depositors of the
failed bank, The measure is
admitted privately by many well
informed democratic members to
be decidedly inferior to the bill
introduced in the Senate by
Myers (republican) of Rock
county, but bearing the demo-
cratic brand will no doubt take
procedure over the Myers bill.
Both Senate and House have
provided for the printing of
large numbers of extra copies of
this bill and within a few days
the state is to be flooded with
the document in the hopes of
attracting the attention and APP
proval of the people,
No Agricultural School,
The democratic blethern in the
Legislature are not dwelling to-
gether in peace and harmony as
they should and are showing a
great deal more interest in the
classes of legislation that favor
ably affect the interest of the
brewers and the railroads than
they are in the matters that re
| late most vitally to the interests

JUDGE DEAN IN CITY.

Judge j. h. Dean who was re-
Gently appointed by Governor
Sheldon to the State Supreme
Bench, spent Sunday and Mon
day in the city. Mr.. Dean ex!
poets to move his family to Lin
coin some time this week.
When asked whether he thought
there was any chance of the
Democrats beating him out of
his place on the Supreme Bench
on the action brought to deter
mine whether or not his appoint
ment was constitutional, Mr..
Dean replied, that he had been a
pretty good guesser on the results
of law suites, and his guess was
that he would be able no hold
his position.

Of the farmer. This is slown
by the results of various votes on
bills Of decided interest to agri.
cultural n the state. Daring
the week the House killed the
bill offered by Kelly Of Furnas
for an agricultural college in the
southwestern portion Of the state,
the specific location named in
the bill being near the town of
c m b n d c. Representative
Kelley, who proposed the bill, is
not only one Of the democratic
leaders Of the House, but heads
one of the important committees,
that Of Pablo Lands and Build
ings. When the bill came up for
consideration. Mr.. Kelly made
an eloquent plea for the farmers
Of the state and particularly,
that the farmers Of the great
southwestern section be given
this most desirable recognition.
MIR. Kelly and his bill was treat
ed with scant courtesy and was
told on the floor Of the House
during the debate by democra-
tic leader that this session did
not intend to place any institu-
tions in Kansas" thereby in
fgurative language putting Mr..
Kelly and his democratic neigh
bors in Furnas county beyond
the boundaries of the state. An
overwhelming democratic major
ity made Mr.. Kelly take his med
iClne whether he liked it or not.
No Pure Seeds For Famers.
The same attitude of the demo.
cratic House toward the farmers
of the state may be noted in the
treatment given the bill by Miller
of Custer, providing for pure
agricultural seeds. Mr.. Miller
explained clearly to the House
the difficulties under which the
farmers labored in the matter
of adulterated seeds and the cry
ing necessity for a change in this
particular. However the pro-
posal to secure honest seed houses
in the cities who had had their
men on the ground TO tell how
foolish it would be to enact Mr..
Miller's bill into a law. The
democratic battle ak was again
swung and Mr.. Miller's seed bill
effectively killed with no
reference to the farmers interest
in it.
The following bills were in
troduced during the past week
by Taylor of Custer:
II. h. 42l-Providcs h
women shall vote at all munich
pal elections and all Others than
constitutional Offices.
H. r. 434-Designating the
method of selecting the high
schools in which normal training
may be given.
H. r.. 435-Fixing the size Of
all railway stock uyards at all

MASS MEETING HELD TO RAISE FUNDS
TO PROSECUTE.
PEOPLE WILL BRING ACTION
The People Voted to Keep out Pool Halls
And City Council Passed PrOhibitiye
Ordinance, But Chas. Moore Put
One in Just the Same.

A news item appeared in the
last issue of the Republican con-
cerning the action recently
brought by the Anti-Saloon
league at Mason City to compel
Charles S. Moore to observe the
ordinance at Mason which pro-
hibits the running of pool hall
in Mason. The information in
the item was based upon what
seemed to be reliable authority as
it came from one of the Attor-
reys with whom Rev. H. H. Miles
conferred while in the city two
weeks ago. A letter from Rev.
Miles explaining the situation in
detail is published below.
Mason City, Nebr.,
Feb. 22nd, 1909,
Mr.. !Iebert G. Myers,
Broken Bow, Neb.,
Dear Sir and Editor
Your statement concerning my
business in Broken Bow was cor
rect. But your statement that.
1.-The question of having pool
hall in Mason City was submitted
to The vote of the people Of
Mason last spring and they voted
TO allow the pool hall to remain"
is in correct in part. The ques-
>tion was submitted to the vote
of thu people and they voted
that the pool hall should not
remain by majority of twenty
six, the official ballot being fifty
votes cast against pool hall
twenty four "for pool hall.
Very soen after election Chas.
S. Moose presented a petition
with an inadquote number Of
signers, to the Village board for
license, and they refused to
graGt him one. Within a few
days he opened up the pool hall
and has been running since then
in defiance of the wishes of the
majority of the people.
Last November the Village
board enacted an ordinance pro-
hibiting the running of pool
halls in the Village. Mr.. Moore
has, since the passing of the or
'diance continued to violate it,
for which he is brought in
question.
Will you please make the cor.
rection of your misstatement in
this weeks issue, as you owe it
to the moral good of the public
of Mason City.
