tion of Mr.. Oils, but In the discussion
That followed Senator. Ransom Of Dong
las took occasion to express his, agree
ment with Senator Oils that action by
joint committee was not ntemplated nv
the constitution. Each house, he thought.
was a separate branch of the state gov
m and should act independently If
this were not so. he thought the thing TO
DO would be for the two houses and the
governor to act together. The law
specifically provided for separate action
and any measure passed was to be sub
mitted first to one body, then to the
other and then sent to the governor for
his determination upon IT'S merits. Legis-
Iation by joint committees was not the
way to legislate, thought the Douglas
senator.
Senator Miller of Lancaster thought
there was no better way than by Joint
committee to get together on a p~roposi-
ton in which both house and senate is
interested. He thought there was no con-
stitutional bar. This was the view of
Raymond Of Scott's Bluff, inasmuch as
each house acted independently after the
report Of the joint committee was given
in each body.

whether the appointment OF a Joint COM

tion upon which any or the members has
expressed an opinion publicly this SEES

The matter was suggested by the pre-
sensation Of the action or the house In
suggesting a Joint committee to agree
upon some method for arriving at the
physical valuation OF railroad and public
service corporation property. Senator
Oils moved the senate name the railroad
committee TO act for the upper house
and at the same time suggested that
while this method OF drafting bills was
probably not contemplated by the con-
stitution, stiil It was merely TO bring
about a unity OF feeling between the

Unconstitutional, as each body would act

MIXUP OVER OMAHA CHARTER
Feasibility IL May Result In No Bill
Being Passed.
(From a Staff Correspondent.l

(From a Staff Correspondent
LINCOLN. Jan. G.-(Special.)-It is about
a tossup whether Omaha gets any new
charter at the hands of the present legis-
lature. The Omaha delegation is badly
split over the election or appointment of
a fire and police commission and the
Douglas members are in with the organiza-
tion in such a way that little time is going
to be given charter fixers to fight on
the floor.
The house delegation, or a majority OF
its members, are so thoroughly tied up
with Mayor Dahlman that rather than per.
NIT the mayors hands to be tied in. the
matter OF the selection OF the fire and
police board several OF the delegation
would rather kill the charter bill.
When the senate charter bill gets to the
house 1t is going to be amended in &C.
cordanee with the ideas OF Mayor Jim. II
the Douglas county senators refuse to
concur In the amendments, that will finish
the charter insofar as this legislature lie
concerned. At least all Of this is the talk
OF same Of the delegation.
In the meantime Omaha has a lot OF good
friends In the house and senat and II
the Omaha delegation attempts anything
which looks bad for the city it will find
strong opposition from out In the state.
