The committee on Feb. Ia, publicly
repudiated any intention to overthrow
the sultan or to install a military die
tatorship. but the crisis and it's OUT

how the moderate elements of the EN-

many years and one which has enabled the
state to keep up in the department Of
government With the development of the
states resources. If the house should
agree to the bill and tn. governor should
sign 1t, the State Board OF Equalization
would be put TO the necessity Of merely
equalizing the valuations returned by
county boards, that is, raising in a few
cases, but always lowering elsewhere to
offset any raise made necessary by a low
return. The aggregate assessment may
not be raised for the state, though the re-
turns of the county boards are manifestly
lower than the cash value Of the property.
Explaining his vote on S. +. 2S, Senator
King said:
81 believe that the amendments to the
revenue laws provided by S. f. % will
render It practically impossible for the
state board to properly equalize the assess
ment of property between the various
counties and make such assessments con-
form to the law, as intended by our present
revenue system.
II believe 1t will open the way for a
large reduction in valuation in many coun-
ties and tend toward a return to the very
bad practice existing in the valuation of
property for taxation prior to the enact
ment of our present revenue law,
IF passed, 1t will strike at the very
foundation of the present revenue law:
induce competition among precinct and
county assessors of some counties in trying
TO get their assessments lower than those
OF other counties, leaving the state board
absolutely powerless to adequately remedy
the discrepancies. 1t will also cause end
less rouble and annoyance to county
clerks all over the state.
81 therefore vote no"
Senator Randall said: IS. +. p is one of
the most vicious measures ever introduced
I'm this or any other legislature. Besides
tending to cause much trouble to the off
GERS in following out its provisions. it
will have a further tendency to enable rail-
road companies to effeotually refuse the
payment of alleged excessive taxes, by
making a showing before the courts that
the assessment was not made in such
manner that their property was valued for
taxation on an equality with other prop
: erty. / therefore vote no."

But tina did not feaze the Ramson-Ryan
home rule legislature and neither did the
protest Of the business men OF Lincoln
have any effect.
In the matter Of the Omaha charter Ran
some had given his orders and the demo-
Gratis In the house were in no position to
disobey then. There is little doubt II
was a case Of either the Omaha charter or
no banking bill and 50 no voice was raised
In protest when the charter came up-save
the voice OF Holmes. But It had no effect.
The Omaha charter bill came up in the
early morning session, but because there
were few bills in the files the bill went
over until 2 o'clock. Connolly proposed rails
ing the salary Of the mayor to $500 and
the health commissioner to $500.
w don't want any raise in salaries here
az a compromise" yelled out Holmes. SO
the motion was lost. Leid,gh Of Otoe insist
ing that the charter had been amended in
the senate and it should be taken shat way.
Then Graft Of Cunning headed in with a
motion to limit debate to five minutes and
this carried, with Elmer Brown, having in
mind his speech on the Lincoln charter,
trying to speak.
Thomas submitted one amendment which
he explained the senators had asked him to
submit, which carried. This provided that
the salary OF the chief of police should lie
put back TO $500 and that the salary of the
chief OF the fire department be RAISED to
5000. BY mistake the senate had raised
the police chief instead OF the fire chief.
Then Connolly submitted his amendment
for a bipartisan elective police board. He
explained It would keep the police and fire
men out of politics and Thomas explained it
would not. While hey were discussing this
proposition Holmes offered his amendment
for two appointive and tive elective mem
bers OF the board. This was promptly
killed and then the ahtchet was buried in
the Connolly amendment. Denny Lynch a
big enough democratic politician to force
the senators to put him on the senate pay
roll, remarking:
81 will never vote for a democrat in
Omaha again"
Then Clark of Richardson informed the
house that no one was paying any atten-
tion to the charter reading, therefore he
moved that it be recommended for passage
and this was done, 30 voting for the motion
and % against it, Holmes only OF the Doug
las delegation voting no.
After the Lincoln charter had been rec
commended Off passage, West of Hall
moved that the report be not concurred in,
but he lost by a vote of 20 to 80 on roll
call.
The South Omaha charter is next on the
general file.

internal revenue and me ximum and mini
mum features of the new bill are endorsed
by the minority leaders, and there has been
much favorable comment upon the measure
by democratic col gressmen. Champ Clark
today declared that hn had not had suf-
ficieut time to look into its provisions 20
enable him to comment upon them. 1t is
understood that the minority leaders favor
the removal of the restrictions on the
quantity of sugar and tobacco that can
be admitted from the Philippines free of
duty. On the other hand several south
ern democrats are endeavoring to have
the free trade provision emended so as to
exclude rice, their contention being that
nee could be sent from the Philippines
to the United States markets and sold for
2 cents a pound il admitted free from the
islands. This they say would ruin the
rice industry In this country.
A number of democrats will join with
some republicans in ~favoring the CON
tinuation of the duty assessed by the
Dingley bill upon hun ber.. The fight for
free lumber will be headed by Champ
Clark, 1t is understood. He has fire.
uuently expressed himself in bitter terms
regarding the lumber situation in this
country. During the tariff hearing he
arraigned the lumber magnates and delved
deep into the intricacies of stumpage and
railroad land grants. 1t is not thought
that there will be any serious opposition
to the tariff placed on tea,
Great Britain and France probably VIII
be the first countries to secure the benefit
OF minimum rates of duty named in the
Payne bill. AS soon as the measure Is en-
acted Great Britain will secure the mini
mum rates. Acccrdine to the committees
report made today, Great Britain has been
unable to secure the benefits of the recip-
rocal trade arrangements provided for by
the Dingley bill, although IT has treated
this country with fairness and impartiality
I'm its customs acts. AS the French trade
agreement with the United States contains
no provision for its continuance for any
time after It has been abrogated by either
nation, France may receive the benefit OF
the minimum rates of the Payne bill as
soon as It Is enacted, the matter being en-
tirely In the hands of the French govern
ment. France is now revising its own laws
on a maximum and minimum basis, and
its action regarding the international trade
relations between the two countries In the
future will be of vast Importance in Inter
national affairs because OF the fact that
Great Britain will receive the benefits Of
the minimum rates on the Payne tariff.
The ways ard means committee, In its
report, estimates that the entire revenues
to the government for 1910, provided the
Payne bill is in operation, will be $S62,O65.-
SS5. As the total amount for which revenue
will be required for 1910 is estimated at
ss72, 221. 7O1. It is claimed that the deficit for
1910 will be about 100000.

to have acted upon the amendments at
once and If a failure to concur resulted, a
conference committee would have been
named. The hackers of the bill said they
did not want consideration of the measure
to conflict in any way with the banking
bill and hence referred 1t to the railroad
committee for safe keeping. It is not in
the province Of the committee to make or
suggest any amendments.
Oppose Constitutional Convention.
The bin providing. for a constitutional
convention, which has already passed the
senate and which has yet to get through
the sitting committee of the house before
It will be discussed in the committee of the
whole in the house, is being severely CON-
demned by a number of legislators.
These members hold that needed amend
meuts to the present constitution can easily
be adopted and al: the same time there will
be saved 10 the people those sections in the
present corfstitutiou which gives the state
the power to regulate corporations. Few
amendments are needed now, these MEM
beers claim, To make OF the present consti-
tuition a most perfect instrument. These
men realize. so they say, that the salaries
of state officers should he increased, but
this can be done without going to the eN-
pense Of calling a constitutional convention,
Some members are anxious for the con-
vention In the belief that only In that way
will the people be able to declare for pro-
hibltiun,
Just how much It would cost 10 hold a
constitutional convention has not yet been
figured and cannot be estimated accurately,
The members may draw anywhere from s.
to SO a day and the session may last any
where from three to six months. The Okla
1oma constitutional opponents of the propo-
,ltion say, lasted for six months.

LINCOLN, March 1s.-(SpeciaI)-This
was charter day for the house in the
Ransom-Ryan democratic legislature and
the usual disorder and confusion was ono
OF the features. The Omaha and Lincoln
city charter bills were both recommended
for passage without being read and as
they came from Mr.. Ransom's senate, save
in the Omaha charter, where a minor
amendment was made at the suggestion OF
Mr. Ransom. The house turned down cold
an amendment to the Lincoln charter, pro-
viding that IL be submitted to a vote OF
the people before becoming operative and
objection was made 10 the submission 10
the house Of a petition signed by practically
ali OF the heavy taxpayers and business
men doing business on o street.
During the discussion on the lincoln
charter bin Elmer Brown said:
Not a single friend OF the charter de-
sires to see 1t submitted TO a vote Of the
people"
Il agree with that statement" said Nc
Coll Of Gage. because II it were sub

nominated, but was beaten by General
Harrison in a close vote. BY that time the
politicians of the old school in the demo-
cratic party had drawn away from him
and had no desire to continue his leader
ship. But so strong a hold had he upon
the affections and confidence of the rank
and file OF his party and so sure were
they that he was stronger than the party
in an electoral contest, that he was nomi-
mated in the national convention against
the desires Of most Of the state organiza-
ton leaders, and in tho election which fol-
lowed he led his party to the greatest vic
tory in It's history.
Aggressive on Tariff Issue.
I'm this campaign Mr.. Cleveland stood
for an affirmative idea, that OF a reduc-
ton Of the tariff, so as to make it a tariff
for revenue. He attacked the protective
theory and system. He stood for some
thing aggressive and affirmative
~ do not need to enter into a discussion
OF that issue, but comment on it only as
Illustrating Mr.. Cleveland's character. He
was positive. He was affirmative. He was
courageous. He believed in parties. He
believed in policies and he believed In con-
sistency In regard to them, and he did not
believe in trimming down a policy to catch
the votes of those who really did not agree
with 1t.
The first time Mr.. Cleveland was in
power ne was opposed by a republican SEN
ate. This gave little opportunity for any
radical charge by legislation In the pre-
vious policies OF republican administrations,
but 1t did offer AZ opportunity for Mr..
Cleveland to point out to the country the
fact that our government is a government
Of three distinct branches-the executive,
the legislative and the judicial-and that
the executive has a sphere which the legis-
lative branch has no right to invade,
UsurpatiOn of Executive.
I'VE hear much in these days of the
usurpation of legislation by the executive
branch. As long Is the legislative branch
has the power Of the purse the danger of
executive usurpstion 10 imaginative, The
real danger arises from the disposition Of
the legislative branch to assume that 1t
has the omnipotence OF parliament and may
completely control the discretion conferred
upon the executive by the constitution.
The country Is under obligation to Mr..
Cleveland for having pointed out In his
controversy with the republican senate
some of the limitations that there are in
the constitution upon attempted legislative
action to restrict executive discretion. In
the end Mr., C1eV Gland won In his CON
troversy with the senate. We owe to Mr..
Cleveland and his courage in dealing with
the senate OF the United States the estab-
lishment Of some useful presidents.

preparations and to lower taxes on the
farmers many democrats are unable to fig
ure out where It would be a good thing to
call a constitutional convention.
Several bills proposing amendments TO the
constitution are already in a fair way to
pass both houses and opponents of the con-
vention favor these amendments, which can
be adopted at little cost.
Even should a convention be called II
would then be necessary to adopt the con-
stitution which 1t drafted before it becomes
the organic law Of the state. For that rea-
son also prominent members of the legisla-
ture are opposed to the proposition. Should
the corporations control the convention as
they have controlled legislatures the good
sections OF the present constitution would
be eliminated.
Wants Bryan Political school.
Colonel Nell Brennan of O'NeiH has a
suggestion for Mr.. Bryan and this demo-
cratic legislature. Colonel Brennan, who
lives in O'Nein and who has in the window
Of his immense hardware store a box of
dirt well sodded, which he brought direct
from old ireland, some hundred years or
less ago, is anxious that Mr.. Bryan's pro-
! posed school OF politics be established at
| O'Ncill.
1--WE can teach politics In O'Neill better
than it can be taught in any place in Ne
braska. II is the ideal place for Mr..
Bryan's school and | am in favor of il
being established there. We have Irish up
one side of the street and down the cther.
and every Irishman is a born politician
MIR. Brennan did not say so but he could
have pointed to Arthur Mullen az a sample
Of the graduates from the O'Neill school.

Judge Altstadt is a pocket edition OF
