HOUSE WORKS SHORT SHIFTS Decldes to Reduce Rate of Interest on State Warrants from 4 to Per Cent, act entitled amend sec mplled Stat- 180, entit bill relating to LINCOLN, Jan. 24.—(Special)—In com- mittee of the whole today the house of representatives recommended the passage of a bill reducing the rate of Interest on state warrants from 4 to 3 per cent per annum. This action places the measure on the general file and unless some unfore seen opposition arises it will be speedily passed when it 18 taken up for third read- ing. The bill was introduced by Representa- tive Murray, a fusionist, but it received the endorsement of Treasurer Stuefer and the retiring treasurer, J. B. Mescrve. It was favorably reported by the committee troducer of the bill today explained that the object In reducing the rate of Interest was to enable the state treasurer to pur- chase state warrants at par, or without paying a premium for them. Until a few years ago state warrants drew 7 per cent interest, but the rate was reduced 1 per cent every two years, the last reductlon being made two years ago, when the rate was fixed at 4 per cent. Members of the house appeared well plessed with the morning session plan today and it 18 thought that the rules will be amended to provide for adfournment from each noon until the following morning at 9 o'clock, thus glving the afternoons over to committee work.
