All Amendments Endorsed,

On the face of the stil partial re-
turns of the primary II IL clear that
all five of the proposed amendments
TO the constitution Of Nebraska have
been endorsed, with the result that
they win go on the official ballot for
the election bearing the labels OF all
the political parties, and have
counted for them all the straight
party tickets cast. With the d.
version of presidential contest turn
ing upon national issues this means
that all these amendments are right
now as good as adopted, and that We
need only await their PRONUNCIATION
by the authorities that canvass the
vote. Assuming that they will carry,
they Will as matter Of fact become
effective even sooner than that, for
under our court decisions an amend
ment is part Of the constitution from
the moment a majority of the votes
are recorded In It's favor without
waiting for count or canvass. II is
well enough then to recapitulate
what changes are soon to be incor-
porated into our fundamental law,
enumerated as follows:
l. Initiative and referendum, by
which both measures of legislation
and constitutional amendments pro-
posed by popular petition may be
enacted by popular vote, and laws
passed by the legislature may be held
In allegiance through referendum
for popular approval or rejection. =
2. Biennial elections secured
through the abolition OF off-year
state elections, and the extension for
one year OF all terms OF state offices.
which would otherwise have to be
filled in odd years. after the year
1918. ~
9. Increased pay for members OF
the legislature applicable to the com
Ing legislature. making the compen-
sation $500 instead of $500. and also
shortening the time for introduction
Of new bills from the first forty days
to the first twenty days OF the SEES
sion.
4. A board OF control for state In
situations consisting OF three salaried
members, not more than two from
the same party, appointed for six
years by the governor. and confirmed
by two-thirds vote Of the senate: the
board to assume.and exercise its pow
ers over all charitable. re;ormatory
and penal institutions maintained by
the state, beginning July I, 1918.
S. Home rule for cities having a
population OF more than 5000 by
vesting the Inhabitants With power.
through a charter convention, to
frame their own plan OF municipal
government. and adopt. modify or re-
peal the same by popular vote.

Advertising Omaha for omahans.

The Commercial clubs publicity
department has proposed something
worth while in the plan for a sym
postum of ideas and expressions to
advertise Omaha In all its phases of
business and educational life to the
people OF Omaha. This may be done
by means OF series OF lectures at
the Auditorium, possibly accompan-
led by exhibits or illustrations This,
OF course, is one Of the many details
to be worked out.
But the plan, itself, is commenda-
Bile. II is not reflection upon the
Intelligence or local interest of the
people Of the city to say that they,
In common with the people of most
every city, are not as familiar with
their city's resources and advantages
as they should be, both for their own
personal welfare and that of their
city. Omaha is a much larger,
stronger and better city than many OF
its good people may realize. A
scheme that will help to enlarge
just appreciation will certainly be
worth while. AND Its valuable influ-
ence Will run far beyond local lines.
Omaha has done many profitable
things In the way of publicity, but
this plan is rather unique and might
be tried with very excellent results.
OF course. this one thing will be
borne in mind that no special interest
Is to receive special benefits.
