Follow Tressurer's Plan.

Cases till providing that the state
treasurer may credit the university
with ninety-five per cent of the amount
of money which would be derived
from the one-mill levy on the grand
assessment roll of the state, in order
that difinite amount may stand
there to be drawn against by the re-
gents. seemed likely to get tangled
up before its passage but the final
inclusion of a small amendment salts
fled the directors. Taylor of Custer.
and Nettleton of Clay, and it was al
lowed to go through committee Of
the whole. The objection was that
the bill apparently contemplated map
ping out road for future legislatures
and binding their hands unless a re.
peal of the law was taken. To obyi-
ate this. which Case said was not
contemplated, the bill was made to
read of the coIaing biennium."

AFFAIRS THIS week
MUCH OF IMPORTANCE DOING IN
WASHINGTON.
ROOSEVELT SENDS MESSAGE
President.Elect Taft to Confer With
Knox and Others Regarding
Cabinet Makeup.

Washington.-Was promises
% furnish the greater share of mat
.ers of news interest this week
Colonel Goethals, engineer in charge
of the Panama canal work, will ap'
pear before the subcommittee Of the
house committee on appropriations
He will be questioned regarding the
estimates of the isthmia1 canal com
mission.
The president will send to congress
4 message regarding the care of de-
pendent children and will confer with
pres:dent-elect Taft. Mr.. Taft will be
fairly busy during the week. He left
Cincinnati Monday for Washington
where he will receive the report OF
the engineers who went to Panama
with him.
While in Washington Mr.. Taft ex.
poets to confer with Senator Knox
and with others relative to cabinet ap-
pCintments.
The cabinet gossip. which is regard
ed as the most reliable. is that no
one has been determined upon for the
treasury portfolio.
Senator Knox and Frank H. Hitch
cock have been asked and have &C
cepted the positions of secretary OF
state and postmaster general.
AS to the other places, unconffrmed
rumor with a fair percentage. of likeli-
hood for correctness, makes the cabi-
net as follows:
Attorney General-Mr Wickersham
Of New York.
Secretary Of War-Mr. Wright OF
Tennessee.
Secretary of Navy-Mr. Meyer OF
Massachusetts.
Secretary of the Interior-Mr. Bal
linger of Washington state.
Secretary of Agriculture-Mr. Viii
son of Iowa.
Secretary of Commerce and Labor
Mr. Nagel of Missouri.
It is the general understanding that
Mr.. Taft wishes to fill the treasury
portfolio, either from Illinois or Ohio.
Should the appointment go to his own
state, it is likely that it will fall to
Myron T. Herrick. The seeming
tumult of candidates from Illinois Is
regarded as initiating against, rather
than for. that states chances.
Mr.. Taft also will consult with the
president and others regarding his in
ausural speech.

Is Not an Emergency.

Leidigh's appropriation bill to set
aside $4,000 for the Seattle exposition
next summer failed to get the required
humber en- roll call to secure it's pas
sage with the emergency clause at
tached. On roll call with this clause
stricken cut the vote stood ca for and
80 against making an appropriation.
The same bill was introduced in the
senate and was reported from the
finance committee of that body for in
definite postponement. but this is said
not to have been due to hostility 20
the measure, but to he fact that any
bill carrying with it an appropriation
must originate in the house.

Wide Leeway for Executive.

The Holmes bill to create a state
architect contemplates placing the Sc
lection of this official wholly with
the governor. 1t provides no restric-
tons on the matter of compensation,
leaving that entirely with the gov
ernor. He may, when the work of the
architect is complete in superin-
tending any public building for some
state institution. receive his pay by
a warrant drawn on the state treas
urer. This latter provision is some
thing rather unusual since it does not
provide that tho auditor shall issue
the warrant, as it is now his sole
function to do. This error will prob
ably be amended before the measure
is finally passed. The bill does not
contemplate that the same architect
shall be employed constantly or on all
state work Of building The governor
may change mis- expert for each build
ing if he so pleases.

Valentine Wants Hatchery.

Several citizens of Valentine. Ne
braska. are in Lincoln. interested in
getting bill under way to secure
an appropriation of $4,000 for a sub
fish-hatchery at Valentine. where st
present there is small sub-station.
They say that the northern part of
the state is the proper place for such
development. because the streams
and lakes of that region are the only
place where trout and black bass
thrive. They think the benefit derived
from sub-station will more than Off
set the cost. since it will Obviate the
fish car that now has to be run there.
II the station were established all this
would be done away and ordinary ex-
press shipments of stock would be out
of the water seldom more than a day.
It is said the bill, when introduced.
will have the support of the FISH
commissioner.

Reciprocal Demurrage.


Banning's demurrage bill. S. F. M.
II, was placed on the general file with
amendments proposed by the railroad
committee. This bill is said to be the
choice of the joint railroad commit
tee and will probably pass. 1t contains
some concession to railroads and IS
said to be satisfactory to shippers.
One amendment allows the railroad
company to require an advance de-
post amounting to 20 per cent of the
freight charges. but not more than SO
per car. Another extends the time o:
the shipper for leading and unloading
cars of $4,000 pounds capacity from
forty-eight to sixty hours. The rail-
road company will not be required to
give written notice when cars arrive.
and 81 per day per car will be the
maximum instead of the minimum
demurrage to be paid the shipper
when his goods are delayed in transit.
The ac1uiescence of the carriers in
the form of the bill is not taken
to mean that they will refrain from
fighting its enforcement if passed.
They have obtained as many conces-
sions as they caa get from the COM
mittee and will. probably resist the
whole plan of reciprocal demurrage
in the courts.
