WATER MEASURE
PASSES SENATE
ON LAST READING
Only Three Votes Cast in
Opposition; Cigaret Bill to
Be Taken Up by Upper
Branch Monday.
From a Staff Correspondent.

Lincoln, March 1.-THE R. w.
Howell water board bill passed the
Nebraska state senate Friday morn
ing on final reading with but three
votes cast in opposition.
Although bitterly fought, the OPP
ponents of the measure could not
scare up the votes when the bill
came up for passage.
The bill grants the water board
the right of eminent domain, with
certain restrictions, removes the
$4,000 limit placed on the general
managers salary, and provides that
any vacancy which may occur for
an unexpired term of an incumbent
shall be filled by the board for the
unexpired term instead of until the
next election.
The bill in its original form gave
the board the right to appoint its
own appraisers in condemnation
proceedings but this was amended
so as to empower the county judge
to make the appointments.
The Mcleod cigaret bill came out
on general file Friday and will be
taken up in the state senate next
Monday. 1t probably will pass the
upper branch where sentiment is
strong that it is better to license
the sale of cigarets to men over q
rather than have the present dead
letter law an the books.

Salary Increase Bill
Barely Survives Fight

Lincoln, Neb., March I'm a dis
cussion of H. R. No. l04, raising the
salaries of county attorneys in the
state outside of Lancaster and
Douglas counties, several speakers
arguing in favor of the measure con-
tended that an increase in salaries
would attract lawyers of greater
abilities to the offices than those
who now hold them.
Fults of Furnas, sprung new
one on the members, when, in op-
position to the bill, he asked;
"All you fellows who think that
an increase in legislative salaries to
1000 per year would result in send
ing better men to the legislature
than you are, hold up your hands.
Tracewell of Cherry, called the
turn by raising his hand and his
frank action caused laugh.
When the bill, in committee OF
the whole, was put to a vote, it sur
vived by the skin of its teeth.
The life of the bill was due to
the spirited fight put up for it by
Mcclellan of Hall, assisted by some
good lieutenants.
The salary increases provided by
the bill average 20 to 40 per cent
in the various counties with boost
from $500 to $500 in the counties
with small populations.

From a staff Correspondent.

Lincoln, Neb., March 1.-The
Friday morning session of the two
branches of the legislature were
transformed into classrooms where
the science of making laws for a
free people and a sovereign state
of the Union was demonstrated in
a practical form to 220 bright-eyed
students of eivics.
The students were a delegation

Commerce, in charge of B. A. Pol

H. w. Wendlund and seven other
members of the faculty of that in

members with their novel school
yells and with class songs.
They were the guests of the house

work of that body sitting as COM
mittee of the whole, presided over
by Judge ,Berka, of Omaha.
Before the students left the house

Before visiting the law making

Some of the boys and girls who
