May Combine Laws Of
Present Session With
Those Of l9l5-I9l7

Lincoln, Feb, 2.-(Special)-New
laws enacted by the present session
of the legislature will probably be
published in a volume TO include
the 1915, 1917 and the laws enacted
at the 1918 special session.
A compilation of all OF these
various laws in a single supplement
to the revised statute of 1918 will be
welcomed by the public officials, at
torneys and others who have oeca-
sion to consult them.
When the codihed statutes OF 1918
were published. it was the plan in
view to print the laws of the next
two legislative sessions as supple
ments thereto and then get out a
new set of statutes taking in every
thing enacted up to and including
1919. But the fact that a constitu-
tional convention is ODE held with
in the next year or so makes it in
advisable to reprint such a large
book at this time, and hence the
plan to consolidate all supplements
in a single volume is finding favor,
No bill has yet been introduced
on the subject but will probably
be sent in before long.

Senate to Consider
New Bank Guarantee
Bills for Days Task

Lincoln, Feb. 2. (Special.) -
When the senate reconvenes to-
morrow afternoon two spirited de-
oates may be expected in the conl-
nittee of the whole over the Good
oill to return contributions to the
bank guaranty fund to liquidating
banks and the Sears Bill to make
il a criminal offense for any person,
other than parent or guardian to
convey information off, sexual ma
lure to Children under 10 years OF
age,
The senate tnssied with these
bills in the committee of the whole
last week and was unable to reach
10 agreement.
c. Petrus Peterson, has framed an
amendment to split the guaranty
fund contribution $3.50 between the
state and the contributor, which
will be presented. Denny Cronin
has another amendment to turn
over the entire amount to the state.
Both will be presented as amend
ments to the Good bill which would
turn the entire amount back to the
banker.
While the senate is generally fav-
orable towards the Sears bill, there
is some feeling that the age limit is
too high and it may be sliced, to IS
under the proposed amendment by
Senator John w. Robbins last week.

w. CT. U. TO turn
GUNS AGAINST
USE OF TOBACCO
Nebraska Women Will En-
deavOr to Secure Prohibitive
Legislation; Want Dry
World by 1890.
From a Stat. Correspondent.

Lincoln, Feb. 2,-(Special) with
the United States dry. the Nebraska
w. c. 7. u. will now turn its at
tention towards eliminating the use
of tobacco, according 10 announce
ment made here by Mrs, M. L,
Clahin of University Place, in out
lining the organizations program
for the coming year.
Nebraska women will endeavor
to secure legislation prohibiting the
use of tobacco" said Mrs, Clalin.
1--WE believe it to be an injurious
habit-not so bad as the liquor hab-
it, but still one which costs the coun-
try millions of dollars annually,
which should be devoted to other
purposes. ~.
"The Nebraska w. c. T. U. will
also adopt the slogan of a dry world
in 1880, which is the aim of the ma
tional organization. Already we
have had appeals from China MeXi-
co and SeVeral otner countries, ask
ing for our assistance in formulating
a program for the prohibition cant
paigns which will be waged in those
countries.
"Child welfare work and educating
the women of Nebraska to the exer-
else of their newly won franchise
rights are the other branches of
work which the organization will
devote attention to. The loss of
life in this state among children is
much too heavy. There must be
improved conditions in the home
and the w. c. T. U. is going to
do what it can to bring these about.
"Over 100000 Nebraska women
have been given the ballot under
the partial suffrage law The w. C..
T. U. has big field ahead of it in
instructing them as to the enjoy
ment of their franchise rights and
we expect to devote great deal OF
time towards seeing that Nebraska
women vote"

TURKEY MUST
RELEASE ALL
SUBJECT RACES
League of Nations to Exer'

Regions Freed from
Huns and MOsIemS.

Paris, Feb. 2.-The accord reach
ed by the council Of the great pow
ers concerning the disposal 'Of the
German colonies and occupied re-
gions in Turkey, in Asia, is much
more definite than is generally sup
posed, and besides acceptance in
principle of the American plan OF
manufactures, it embraces the fol-
lowing main features:
The allied and associated powers
are agreed that the German colonies
shall not be returned to Germany,
owing, first, to the misnlanagement,
cruelty and the use of these colo
nies as submarine bases. vii
Armenians To Be Freed.
The conquered regions of Ar
menia, Syria, Mesopotamia, Pales-
tine and Arabia shall be detached
from the Turkish empire,
Provision is made whereby the
well-being and development of back
ward colonial regions are regarded
as the sacred trust of civilization,
over which the league Of nations ex-
ercises supervisory care. The adj
ministration or tutelage of these re-
gions is entrusted to the more adj
vanced nations, who will act as man.
datories in behalf of the league OF
nations.
These manufactures are not uni
form. but vary according to the
degree of development of the CO.
lonial region and its approach to
The stage of self-government. The
mandates in Palestine Syria and
other portions of Turkey, where
we'll developed civilization exists,
would be comparatively light and
would probably permit of the pro-
visionai recognition of the independ-
ence of these communities.
To Suppress Slave Trade.
On the other hand, colonies like
those on Central Africa would re-
quire mandatory with large pow
ers of administration as responsible
for the suppression of the slave
trade, the liquor traffic, ammunition
and arms traffic and the prevention
of military authority on the part of
the natives, except for native police
purposes. .. :,
Other colonies and localities, such
as those in German southwest Al
RIGA and some of the South Pacific
Islands, have such sparce and scat
tered populations and are so sep
arated from other communities that
the laws of the mandatory country
would probably prevail in these re-
gions.
The foregoing general outline in
dicates on broad lines the terms
whereby, it is declared, conflicting
views were finally reconciled and a
common agreement was reached ac-
ceptable to all the great and colonial
! powers. H.. ,...

PEACE CONGRESS-
WORK HERALDED
AS BIC SUCCESS
London Times Says Great
Things Have Been Achieved
Already by Peace
Conference.

London, Feb. with regard to
the provisional solution by the peace
conference OF the question of the
German colonies and the occupied
territory in Asiatic Turkey the
Times political correspondent says:
Two great things have been
achieved besides Settlement of one
of the most difficult questions with
which the conference is confronted.
The league OF nations has been con-
vincingly, almost dramatically, es-
tablished as the first necessity for
post-bellum intercourse. and those
responsible for the British policy
have been putting their own in
terests second to the interests of
world democracy. They have given
the conference a magnificent ex-
ample Of what adhesion to Mr. VIII
sons principles and to M. Clemen-
ceau's doctrine of the necessity OF
Sacrifice really means-an example
that cannot but have potent influ-
ence upon future events. If to
Mr.. Wilson falls the credit for hav-
ing suggested the solution, to Mr..
Lloyd Georges craftsmanship must,
to no small extent be ascribed the
success with which there is every
reason to hope it will be attended.
'As the colonial question has
been settled by reference to the
league OF nations, it is reasonable
to suppose that the next thing the
conference will take up will be the
final production of scheme for the
formation Of the league.
1T is understood Mr.. Lloyd
George will probably return to Eng
land on February 8 to attend to his
parliamentary duties. Mr. Wilson,
in all probability, will then pay his
projected visit to Belgium and leave
for the United States on February
II, so that it seems likely there will
be at that date a slight slackening
down of the activity of the main
conference. 1t is evident that if
detailed work is going to be re-
ferred to a number of special CONF
mitees, the plenary conference will
have to give them time to prepare
their reports and will thus better be
able to get short breathing spell.

From a Staff Correspondent.

Lincoln, Feb. (Special.) =
From 81 to So tax on all dogs in
Nebraska, to go into a fund to re.
imburse owners of live stock q
poultry killed by CANNES, is the
provision agreed upon in a substi.
tute bill for II. r. 90, wlieh the
house committee on live stock and
grazing has decided to recommend
for passage. Messrs. Fuller, XII
Macy, Barton Green. Harris and
Fults have agreed to this measure in
place of others which they intro
duced.
The 50 tax will apply on male
dogs and females incapable of bear
ing young. For females Of the fe-
cund class, the tax viii be SIS for
the first one and 50 fer every other
ore belonging to the same owner.
Anyone who harbors aogs viii be
considered its owner II the tax is
not paid, a distress warrant NAV
be issued or it may be collected by
any other means that personal taxes
can be collected.
Metal tags will be furnished by
the county treasurer when the tax
is paid. 1t Is made the duty Of
constables and sheriffs, as welt as
those owning dogs, to kill them
when the tax is not paid. The coun-
ty assessor is required to furnish
the county treasurers with the list
of names of dog owners in the eoun-
ty. Should a dog be sold or given
away that fact must be reported.
Special Provision for Breeders.
Provision is made for Kennel IL
censes" for dog fanciers and breed
ers of hunting and sporting animals.
For 10 dogs the fee is fixed at $40
and 81 additional for each dog over
that number. Each dog six months
of age must have a kennel tax.
It is estimated that there are
$4,000 to 100000 dogs in Nebraska,
so that the fund raised by this
means will aggregate close to
$250,000. 1t is to make good losses
to owners of live stock or poultry
which have been killed or injured
by dogs. The law provides that the
live stock or poultry owner must
file a sworn statement as to his
losses within five days and must be
heard by an adjustor within three
to 10 days. The law makes the
county judg- the adjustor while
the county attorney is required to
appear and protect the state against
unlawful claims. Either side has an
appeal to the district court from the
finding of the county Judge.
At the end of the fiscal year
county judges will distribute the
funds, after all judgments have been
taken care OF, among the school dis
tricts in the county in proportion to
the tax money paid in, remaining in
excess of 81, 600 ta &
No compensation will be allowed
for live stock or poultry allowed to
run in the highways.
