ator Otto Mutz of
Lincoln.
Would Abolish Senate
BY P. {. POWELL,
staff CorresnoDdeut The Omaha Bee.

Lincoln, Sept. 1.-The list of laws
to be initiated at the next election re-
ceived an addition today. State Sen
ator Otto Mutz Of Lincoln announced
that he had prepared petitions for re-
ferring one.house legislature to
voters in 1924. The list OF referen-
dums for 1924 follows:
Repeal OF civil administrative code

ell plan of government, by Governor

Repeal of intangible tax law, by
Governor Bryan
Set of new water power bills on
initiative, by Governor Bryan
One-house legislature, by Former
State Senator MUTT.
MUTT says that Congressman Edgar
Howard of Columbus had endorsed
his plan. He has written to j. N
Norton of Polk for a similar endorse
ment. Norton introduced a similar
bill when in the legislature several
years ago. Another such bill was In
troduced in the legislature last win
ter by Hardin OF Franklin. Onlteo

body, and would place the lieutenant

The Norris plan is to eliminate one
body entirely and reduce the size OF
the other by one-half. or more. Sen

of the law.making period and would
also increase the present salaries OF
state law makers.
A committee of 20 will be appointed
to circulate the petitions. Alanson

tarV.

MALES RIGHT TO END
 ENGAGEMENT

SYRACUSE, Jan. 13.-"Women have claimed and won equality with men before the law. They should grant men the same privilege of breaking the engagement that they have claimed and used"
 That is the way Mrs. Margaret Sanger, birth control advocate, an vocat answered Marjorie Bowen, fam ous British novelist, who recently de- clared that men should be required to keep marriage engagements and wo- men should retain the right, under law. to sue for breach of promise dam ages,
 Mrs. Sanger fired her answering broadsde at the British writer while here to lecture before the Women's Congress of Syracuse.
 'It is far better to break before than after marriage" warned Mrs. Sanger. Ut is of the utmost import ance for both that the man be madly in love with the girl If he changes his mind or if he learns that he has ceased to care, both are happier if he breaks it off So far as legal action is concerned, I fail to see why the man should not have the same privilege that women frequently exercise. It hurts a woman's vanity-just that-to lose her fiance It would hurt her far more to seek divorce
 "Women have claimed and won equality with men before the law. They should grant men the same priv ilege of breaking the engagement that they have claimed and used.
 Happiness in marriage depends far more on the mans love for the woman than on the woman's love for the man. Unless each step forward in their Iove-lives is earnestly desired by both the marriage is doomed.
 Marriage should be a consumma- tion of mutual desire. As for forcing a many to marry-that is ridiculous and almost impossible. Marriage calls for the highest mutual love, and love cannot be forced. You cant legislate in into existence"

MOVIE l

William s. Hart, widely known as Big Bill" is an author as well as actor as he proves in his latest Paramount picture, "The Test ing Block" story of the California gold fever days which will be shown at the Empress Theater tonight. It was adapated and directed by Lam bert Hillyer.
 'In the life of every man, on the ladder he climbs toward his goal, there in a rung that proves his test ing block" That in a sense is the theme of the story.
 Hart as the bandit chief meets Nelly Gray a straying violinist-a lovely girl. He fights his entire band to save her from their embraces and, under the influence of liquor, forces her to marry him-but she learns that beneath his vicious eX- terior he is a real man. This is pre- liminary-for the real story starts when the deeds of the past, and the faces of the past, come forth to haunt him. Eva Novak is the lead ing woman.
 It is a story that will never be fogotten once seen.
 It is the western picture of the year.
 She didn't know how to swing a lorgnette, but-oh, how she could throw a lariat! Bowie, what wild and woody lady. Her first name was "Pinto;" her middle name was Pep She came from Arizona, but there wasn't anything arid about her-she had more snap than a barrel of gin ger. And when she hit the trail for New York and high society-Oh, Boy Silk Stockinged Social Sals lost their breath-and High-Hatted liar olds lost their heads. And when Pinto" got rough with the lariat and the shooting irons! Say, you never saw anything funnier and jazzier in all your life. Stake your claim to good seat and watch Mabel Norman as Pinto" take the sigh out of society. At the Elm press Sunday night.

Lloyd was sentenced to serve from one to five years in Joliet Penitentiary for violating the Illinois syndicalism law.
 Lloyd served seven days of the sentence and then was released.
 American Legion posts all over the state have adopted resolutions condemning the Gveornor for his action. Even the veterans post at Winnetka, Lloyds home city, passed such a resolution.
 The most vehement protest was registered by the Chicago Association

Extensive advertising of the al Ileged beauty and comfort of travel via the elevated railway is haVlng the desired effect-from a flnan- cial standpoint to the company. Instead of collecting single fares at ten cents, or three for quarter, cashiers at elevated stations now rake in fares in dollar and quarter lots. All because some far-seelng person conceived the idea of selling weekly passes. For $1.25 you can ride early, ride late,' posters pro- claim.
 Ride to your favorite movie on your L pass" reads one inspired sign. "Your admission cost is your only cost"
 And the result is that where for merly a passenger was able to get seat about once in three rides, he now grabs a seat about once in every five trips-and considers him. self lucky.
