dalous conduct It was added thatthe officers of the cruiser West Vir-ginia, Admiral Barry's flagship, werenot satisfied with the retirement, butinsisted on his resignation.

dering Admiral Barry to remain inSan Francisco until further notice.

INITIATIVE, AND REFERENDUM

OUTCLASSES ALL ELSE.I.

1

AMENDMENTS ARE IN ORDER

JAttempts on Measure' Will Not Be Di-

rect, but Efforts Will Be

Made to Warp It Out

of Shape.

The fate of the initiative and ref-erendum amendment to the state con-stitution Is fast assuming more im-

portance in legislative circles thanany other measure which has yet putin an appearance or which is likely toappear. This 'includes even the countyoption bill, on the support of whichthe last campaign was almost whollyfought out Fully three-fourth- s of themembers of both houses are pledgedto the initiative and referendum, per-sonally as well as by their platforms.The question arises as to just whatkind of a bill they are pledged, andIt is believed that many members whopledged because of popular pressurewill seek to amend the bills sponsoredby the direct legislation league of Ne-braska in such a way that it friendswill- - hardly recognize it. By seekingto amend the bill no member will con-sider that he is going back on hispledge to support a constitutionalamendment.

County option was the chief issue inthe last campaign. No bill has yet ap-peared embodying that principle, al-though at a conference held last weekIt was decided that two bills only, oneIn the senate and one in the house,should be introduced, and the form itshall take was decided upon. Thesebills will probably appear this week.The reason that the initiative andreferendum is rather supplantingcounty option in Importance is thatmany supporters of the former meas-ure have grave doubts as to whetherthey will be able to muster votesenough to pass it In case of defeat ofthis measure it is expected that thenext test of strength will be madethrough the initiative and referendum.

Glanders In. Horses.Dolezal of Saunders has a measure

which seeks to provide payment forhorses afflicted with glanders whichthe state veterinarian puts to death asa preventive of sprcod of the disease,conceded to be one of the worst whichafflicts domestic animals. He explainsthat the people in that part of his dis-trict surrounding Cedar Bluffs are par-ticularly anxious for the passage ofthis law because they have felt theeffect of the loss of animals by gland-ers. As explained by Mr. Dolezal, thedisease is just as apt to attack thehorses of poor men as those of wealthyfarmers, and when they are shot bythe deputy veterinarian it leaves thoowner in deplorable condition. Theauthor of the bill argues that to ap-

propriate $25,000 for the payment ofthese horses and mules would worktowards stamping out the dread dls.-eas-e,

as it would be an incentive tothe owner to have his animals exam-ined when he has an ysuspicion thatthey are afflicted. He declares thatnow there is a tendency to hide thefact as long as possible.

University Removal Bill.Practically the first debate of the

session in the house occurred over theKirk resolution to appoint a commit-tee from the house to meet a like com-mittee from the senate to investigatejointly the merits of the minority andmajority reports of the board of re-

gents to move the state university tothe state farm. Kirk's resolution hasbeen awaiting a favorable opportunityfor several days. It was brought up byits author, and at once Gerdes ofRichardson moved an amendmentHis amendment was primarily to pro-test ot the richt of the speaker to aprpoint special committees, and secondto separate the investigating commit-tee from the standing committees offinance and of universities which mustlater act on the question of appropria-tions. After considerable debate theamendment carried.

Favors Constitutional Convention.The judiciary committee of the sen-

ate met for the first time Tuesdayafternoon to consider bills. The com-

mittee decided to report for passageS. F. No. 18. by Kemp of Nance, a billproviding for a convention to revisethe constitution and to submit a newconstitution to a vote of the peopleThe committee, while favoring thisbill, proposes to favor the submissionof several constitutional amendments.The constitutional convention is aproposition that must be submittedto a vote of the people and if a con-

vention Is called its proposed constttution must again be submitted to avote of the people.

Determined opposition even to In-

vestigating the advisability of relocat-ing

Inthe state university on the state

farm campus has developed in thehouse. When the Kirk resolutionwas brought up in the house it wasput over for another day at the re-

quest of Gerdes of Richardson, who in-

timated that he will have some oppo-

sition to make to the project Theresolution provides for a special com-mittee, composed of members of thefinance, ways and means and univer-sity committees, to investigate theproposition.

Tax Collections.Two bills having for their object the

collection of taxes by special proce-dure were introduced Thursday inthe house of representatives. One olthem. H. R. No. 159, by Quackenbush,is revolutionary in character becauseIt proposes to legalize the employmentof private agencies for this purposeThe other, H. R. No. 1G4. by McKissick, allows extra compensation to atcounty attorneys who bring(&uits andsecure judgments against estates uponwhich the county realizes its taadaion.
