Lincoln, Jan. l8.-(Special.) 1.-THE
republican minority in the house is
anxious that some good legislation
should be enacted at this session even
if the democrats do get credit for do
ing it and for the purpose of saving
the state the expense of loss of time
because of excessive oratory, Rope
sentative Cronin today sent up mo-
ton that called for referring ali reso-
lutions to the rules committee alter
they have been read, the committee
to report back those of interest and
cut out all Implications.
So far much time has been wasted
on resolutions which in many in
stances cover like subjects and it was
for the purpose of preventing :he
daily flow of words that Mr.. Cronin
sought to make the rules committee
board of censorship.
Mr.. Taylor opposed the motion
saying he thought the cure worse
than the disease. Mr.. Taylor thought
that there was a disposition to be too
hasty in some things and admitted
that on road legislation he had gone
off little half cooked" himself. The
motion did not meet with favor.

H. C. OF L. FACTS.-I have suf-
fered from the high cost of living in
remote parts Of the United States,
and wish to give few points, per-
tanning to that subject, which have
come under my observation. In get
ting to the root of the high cost of
living problem; 1 find that the main
cause for it is scarcity, and two of
its contributing factors are nOn-prO-
ductiOn and extravaganza.
NOn-prOdUctiOn is caused by the
tillers of the soil who devote them
selves to raising Of commercial COM
modities instead Of food conlmodi-
ties. In Texas and Arizona I find
that farmers cultivate immense
areas of cotton for commercial pur-
poses and for ammunition, because
of the large financial returns. This
occurs in a part CT the country where
tiIlable soil is scarce aud the pEOduc-
ton of fOodstuffs most essential, yet

the farmers individual needs. The
rest of the people may exist on
canned goods. l find the western
people great consumers of food in
tins.
Extravaganza, the second con-
tributing factor, occurs mostly in
large cities at the swell public eating
palaces, where stylish throngs de-
your choice viands, saved for them
at extOrtiOnist prices. To furnish
the many course dinners to their fas-
tidiOus patrons, these eating palaces
bring about the indiscrimlnate
slaughter of young fowl, sucking
calves and lamb, thus destroying
such life before they reach maturity
and before they reach their period Of
reproductiveness. Thereby there is
a greater scarcity Of fowl and animal

BROWNIES ADDRESS.

BROWNIES ADDRESS. - During
the debate on the referendum bill in
the legislature the other day the
most interesting address on the wet
side was probably made by Lee
O'Nen Browne. It was a matter of
great interest to me and will proba-
bly, be of great interest to union la
Dor, as well as the Socialists, to know
that, the principal objection Mr..
Browne gave for voting against the
referendum bill was that women
would be allowed to vote on the
question.
He stopped to make an eloquent
address against wOman's suffrage
and this part of his speech was the
part which met with the greatest ap-
plaUse by the vets who were packed
on one side of the galleries. It is. a
curious paradox that the saloon in
terests always pretend to be the
friend of the working men, and yet it
is from that source that greatest OPP
position to woman's suffrage comes.
