1t is not possible to escape
the fact that this intensity of
interest extends to every col

shares in the benefits that
accrue from the thorough
ness, seriousness and accu-
racy of the news and dig

longer life because the news

Would you, Mr.. Merchant,

to advertise in the newspa-

FEWER MEASURES LIKELY
Director sheldon of Reference Blu
reau Thinks There Won't Be So
Many Drafted This Season.
FIVE DOLLAR FEE IS ONE BAR
CFrom a staff correspondeht.)

(From a staff Correspondent
LINCOLN, Jan. 10.-(Special.)-Th
legislative reference bureaus is getting in
its work early in an effort to assist the
members of that body to get started as
soon as possible. 1t is the opinion Of
Director Sheldon that there will be fewer
bills prepared this year then ever before
Two things are responsible for this con-
dition. One probably is the s. fee, which
the last session ordered should be charged
for drawing bills for the members and
the other is the rule adopted by the
legislature that bills covering one sub
ject should be made into one bill bear
ing the names of tn members who would
have introduced several bills.
Work Expedited.
It is said that the work of the commit
tee on committees in both branches had
been greatly expedited because of the
assistance rendered by Miss Myrtle
Keegan OF the bureau. who has arranged
the members in such a way that the
assignments could be reached more easily
Miss Keegan had had much experience in
legislative work and was really the in
dividual who complied most of the in
formation needed by the Legislative COM
mittee on legislative procedure from
which the report was made
1t is said that the committees are ready
to report and will do so either Monday
or Tuesday. However, they have been
pledged to secrecy and the public will not
know the result of their labors until
the assignments are read to the different
houses. Never in the history of past
legislatures has theer been so little in
terest taken in the assignments on COM
mittees Nobody seems to care much
whether they get on or not or where
they land, except in a few instances
This has had a tendency to make the
work Of the committees easier and there
fore more quickly accomplished.
Shy mt Primary Changes.
Whether any member will attempt to
amend the primary law and introduce a
bill remedying defects shown at the last
primary election is hard to tell. Some
admit that they are afraid that the
people will not stand for it. They assert
that the idea of nominating state officers
by the people Is so popular that they
want stand for any modification.
However some changes will be at
tempted, one being a bill by Hutton of
Lancaster adopting the blanket ballot
for the regular election. He would have
each party have a column by itself and
thus there could be no mistake made in
getting mixed on the party designation.
The ballot only covers the regular cleo
ton and does not in any way reform the

Eoret Plumes.

The story comes from India that
sorle provinces in that country are
breeding egrets in captivity, and find
it possible to get four crops of plumes
a year without injury to the bird. The
four-crop section of the tale sound,
too good to be true. The rest is plau
sible enough. Men have domesticated
the ostrich, raised the black fox in cap
tivity and even started breeding
skunks for their skins. Why should
egrets hope to be immune? The time
may not be distant when paradise
birds also will be reared in captivity
just as pheasants and peacocks are
now. II women insist on having
plumes, plumes they will get-but not
BY the old, fiendish method which muir
dered the mother bird and starved her
nestlings for the sake of handful OF
blood-stained feathers. That piece Of
barbarism is gone forever. SO far as
America is concerned, and 1t owes its
departure to a section of the Under
wood tariff law which even Mr.. Aldrich
would hardly try to repeal.

to sustain the claim.

by two different authors.
