(From a staff Correspondent
LINCOLN. Ian. I.--(SpeciRl,e 1.-The claim
Of Manosh n. Reese, retiring chief JUS
tice, for s725t salary for the first six days
OF the present year. has been disallowed
by the outgoing auditor, w. h. Howard.
The rejection OF the claim makes the
retiring chief justice six days short on his
term OF six years. Judge Sedgwick, who
preceded him as chief justice. having
been allowed pay for the first six days
Of his successors term In 1909.
In letter to Judge Reese. the auditor.
while expressing great regret. says it
would be unconstitutional TO allow the
claim. The letter is in part as follows;
Under an opinion given January Is, 1900,
by the Hon. w. r. Thompson, the then
attorney general II was held that an Of
ffeial year within the meaning OF the con-
stitution Is not necessarily a calendar
year. and that whether the year In two
or three days less or two or three days
more II has no effect upon the official
term. Quoting the language OF Judge
Thompson, III a regular outgoing state
officer r. authorized 20 draw pay for the
days intervening between January and
January this year. in addition to his
salary for the last quarter. he will neces-
earily draw a portion OF the salary APP
propriated by the legislature for the in
coming officers first quarters salary,
thus requiring him TO receive so much less
than the statutes provided for his salary
for the first quarter. | am unable to
find any authority in law for so doing
and am of the opinion that there Is no
authority therefor"
II Attorney General Thompson was right
in his opinion, which in my Judgment
seems 70 be In harmony with the language
of the constitution, there is nothing but
for me, acting in q ministerial capacity,

maree. Frank Smith will succeed him
self as county commissioner. George 8.
Todd will succeed himself as county
judge for his sixth term. A. A. Waters
will succeed himself as sheriff for the
sixth term and Il perhaps the only Of
fioer in Nebraska who was elected on a
distinctive bull moose ticket, there being
republican, democrat and socialist can
didates against him and he running only
on the bull moose ticket.
u. L. Jenkins succeeds himeelf as
county superintendent for the fifth term.
o. w. Percy will succeed e. M. White
as county attorney. being the only new

Duplication Of
Legislative Bills
lFrom a staff correspondent.l

LINCOLN, Jan. 7.-(Special Telegram)
That the house majority was trembling
over the anxiety OF senate democrats to
reject promised reforms of Legislative
procedure Has evident this morning when
the house requested the senate to CO..
operate in trying to cut down useless ex-
pense in printing bills.
The hint to the senate came after the
Introduction of a resolution by Richmond
of Douglas that some method should be
secured to prevent duplicate bills in both
branches. Heretofore. for many of the
bills introduced in either body the intro
ducer would secure the introduction OF a
like measure in the other. with the result
that the printing bill was doubled and
the files loaded with duplicates.
The Richmond resolution provided for
committee consisting OF the chief clerk.
speaker and director of the legislative
reference bureau and two plans were sug-
gested. One would have each bin bear
the name OF the introducer in both houses
of bills under one subject and the other
provides for a report back for indefinite
postponement Of all bills Of q duplicate
nature.
