COMING WEEK TO

TELL WHEN STATE

S0L0NSJ0 HOME

Next Few Dayi at Lincoln to Deter

mine Time This Session of

Nebraska legislature

May Adjourn.

APRIL TENTH MAY BE THE DAY

Fanners Are Already Becoming

Anxious to Return to Land And

Get Their Grain In. , .

IMPORTANT BILLS TO COKE UP

(From a Staff Correspondent.)

LINCOLN. March 21. (Special.)

The coming week of the legislature

will determine at what time the. mem

bers will be likely to pack up and go

home. The end of the week will

bring the session to that point where

the members will begin to get anx

ious. Thursday night will complete

the constitutional sixty days for the

house, while the senate will have

three days longer in which to com

plete its constitutional limit.

April Tenth May

According to some of the leaders . of

the houae April 10 may be the day when

the clock will be stopped and the longest

day ot the session observed. Usually the

clock Is atopped Just before the ex

piration of the day and the bodies work

on finishing up the work and waiting fpr

the Inst bills to be engrossed and slimed.

Then the final drop of the gavel la hearS

and the thing Is oer. Should the legis

lature run until the tenth, which Is two

weeks from next Saturday, It may be

Monday beforethe' real end comes.

X Dnr Cam Tell About It.

However, no one' can tell very much

about It, for on account of the order of

Speaker Jackson Issued that no vouchers

will be made out until the end Is reached,

there may be enough of the members form

a combination to hustle things up a

little.

Already the lure of th"e oat field is

drawing the farmer members, one farmer

member being heard to say lat Thurs

day that he ought to be home getting

his 'oats in. When the call of the farm

begins to be felt It generally spreads

rapidly and should warm weather start

in this week thore is no telling what

may happen by Saturday night.

Important Bills to Come I' p.

There are some Important bills yet to

be disposed of, the Omaha annexation

bill has to go back to the senate for

approval ot the Parrlott amendment at

tached ' - the house, while the v Omaha

water board lighting bill has yet to go

up against final passage in the house and

then go back to the senate.

Then will come the anti-dlscrimlnatlon

insurance bill. On top of these the ap

propriation bills have got to run the

gauntlet of the senate, and some of the

appropriations will be changed. This will

mean a return to the house and the prob

able appointment of a conference com

mittee by each body, and that will mean

mure delay, so it the lure of the farm

strikes the members they may be com

pelled to forget It and stay to the end. I

DAHLMAN AGAINST

ANY POSTPONEMENT

Would Have Annexation Stand on

Own Merits and Arrange for

Voters to Participate. v

GIVES REASON FOR CONTENTION

Mayor Dahlman, the city commis

slonera and various wouid-De com-

missioners are against the proposition

to postpone the forthcoming city

election on account(" of prospective

annexation. The mayor spent a

busy day yesterday with the Douglag

county state senators who came back

from Lincoln to spend a few quiet

hours with the home folks.

The mayor -went to the office of

Senator Ed. T. Howell and the twain

discussed the situation several hours.

The mayor saw other members .and

told them what the city administra

tion and others want. The result of

the Dahlman-Howell conference was

not very definite." -" ' " 1

Wll Block Amendment.

A determined effort will be made to

block ' the proposed amendment to the

Omaha charter whereby the May 4 elec

tion will be postponed so that In the

event that annexation goes through at

a special election, candidates of the an

nexed territory may file for the elec

tion ' " '

"I do not believe that our election

should be postponed on account of the

annexation watter. Let annexation stand

on Its own merits and arrange so that

the voters of .the annexed towns may

participate In the election May 1 4, even

If they cannot participate; In the filing

of candidates," asserted tha mayor.

The mayor contends the stage has been

set for the primaries April t and the elec

tion. May 4 and to upset those plans

would' be unfair. He asserts that various

candidates have spent money for cards

and other advertising and have started

their campaigns. '

Things aie stirred up- and this week

promises some hard work at Lincoln.

There will be frequent trips to Lincoln

and many of those -who oppose the post

ponement of the Omaha election Intend

to camp at the state house. ,

Jim la Full of I'laht. .

The mayor has hi fighting clothes on

and he predicts that the Omaha election

will not be deferred, not If he can help

it and he asserts that he has plenty of

help which he will summon.

There are some who assert that the

only fair way would be give the people

t.f the annexed territory a chance to get

in on the commissioner fight, which could

be brought sbout by putting the election

off.

Jct.n Paul Breen. iarter; maker and

publicist, believes the latter part of June

would be . nice time for the election,

hie says that would not be a long wait

for the anxious ones. He admits there

wou'd be some Inconveniences in 'filing

new. petitions and getting out new cards,

but he explains that those who have filed

would not lose thefr filing ' f eoa of $10

each. ' '
