NEBRASKA LEGISLATURE
by o. J.

Monday morning, March 9th. the
house met at 8 a. m. and the senate
at 10 but both senate and the house
at this time commonly speaking up
in the air circling around and wond-
ering which airport will be the soft
est 10 land on as all of them look
dangerous.
The bit appropriations bill is en-
crying toward a deadlock and it may
take a special session to get it out
of the air and on the ground.
The present Governor budget with
reduction of $950,OOO of which the
university and state normals are ask
ed to absorb approximately 100000
and how to solve that problem is the
thing that is worrying the finance
committee.
But in the afternoon meeting the
house refused the Governors budget
and upheld the original committee re-
port. Representative Bruvelut Of
Stanton served notice Monday after
noon that at the proper time he would
propose that appropriations for the
university be cut from So. 568, 200
recommended by the committee to
81. 3Ss, 0S5.
The committee is now asking the
university to withdraw from the
north central association, but this re-
quest is thought by some to not be
germane to the subject Of the approp-
ration. Cushion questions the con
stitutionality of writing this provis-
on into the bill. But the committee
was sustained 40-35 in its attempt to
write the university out of the north
central association Of colleges. This
move was referred to as "Indian gift
and trading. It was only the quick
actions by the committee in a minor
amendment that any attempt in any,
way to alter university board of ag-
riculture college and other appropri-
ations were struck down with en-
! phasis. Speaker O'Malley is strictly
an administrative man and tries al
ways to uphold the governors wish
es. For the support of the Bryan
budget figures was answered a mo-
ment later by Representative John
Havekost (dem) with the statement
that conditions had changed since the
Governor made his budget.
I'VE have seen the time of 1Oc
corn" he said, II again want to call
your attention to the tax payers con-
dition. Many operations of business
is below cost. VIZ want to conserve
the schools, the conservation of the
homes are more important.
The bill to elect the school board
from districts and the non-employ-
m 2nt Of married ONE was killed
in the committee; but Senator Dwor-
ak, Bren. coupled up with Represent
alive John Owen and Teasor, have
succeeded in resurrecting it again and
it is now IN the senate roll for fur
Their action. The present school
board is very active in using its in
fluence to defeat the measure. but
there are those connected with both
! the house and senate. who believe that
it is right and just that each district
should be represented. Senator Dwor-
ak says one of the reasons why the
school board is opposing the house
roll 81 by Teasor, is that such a bill
would at least help to make it pos
sible for colored teachers to be res
tored back into the public schools.
This bill should be made a law in jus
tice to all tax payers.
Gov. Bryan's Code Bill was passed
in the senate. The senate rejected the
amendment requiring the senate to
confirm all nominations, however,
things got a little warm in the sem
ate today, the boyj called each other
what God struck Ananias and Sap
phi-ra dead for doing.
Watch next weeks notes, they
viii more than likely be hot.)
