TO GET AUTHORITY FROM POPULAR VOTE After Adoption of Several ¢ Repo ttee » Convention Hears Address on “Soclaliam” by Chancellor E, Benjamin Andrews, The second and last day of the third anual megting of the Nebraska State Bar assoclation was. an exceedingly busy oze. In the morning papers were read by Com- missioner €. 8. Lobingler of Omaha, Prot. Charles A. Robbins of the Nebraska State university and W. R. Kelligar of Auburn, and there was carried & motion to reconsider the association’s action of the day before committing it as favorable to a constitu- tional convention as the best means of remedying supreme court defects. In the afternoon this latter matter was taken up and disposed of by the adoption of the J. H. McIntosh resolutions, leaving to the legislature the regulation of numer- feal streagth and salaries of the’ court. There was alopted also the report of the committes on Judiclal administration as printed In The Bee some days ago; a sup- plemental report from the committee on legislation affecting’ the profession, such report being for the negotiable instruments act as recommended by the American Bar @ssoclation and already on the statutes of eighteen states;: a'testimonial to Judge G. M. Lambertson, who died last June, the paper being drawn by Judge Wakeley and read by him. Bills endorsed were one sug- gested by Judge Roscoe Pound, looking to the aboltshmert of the ‘“‘assignment of error” fechnfeality involved In appealing cases, and another requiring that in making such appeal the supersedeas boud in ali casne going up shall be the same as in error proceedings; instaad of the ‘“‘waste" bond permitted in simple appeal, Election of Ofcers, After a paper by Halleck F. Rose of Lin- voln and before the address of Chancellor Andrews, the assoclation elected officers by endorsing the nominees of the executive counctl, and by the same proceeding ad- mitted twenty-three additional members. The offtuers elected were: John L. Web- #ter of Omaha for president; C. J. Phelps ot Schuyler, first vice president; B, C. Calkins of Kearney, second vice president; A. R. Olson of Wisner, third vice prests dent; Roseoe Pound of Lincoln, secretary; C. A. Goss of Omaha, treasurer, and W. R. Kelligar of Auburn, to succeed Congres man E. H. Hinshaw of Fairbury as member of the executive council. New members admitted were: J. O. Dets weller, W. A. Dilworth, G. C. Martin, 1. J. Dunn, E. J. Sullivan, J. W. Woodrough, F. L. Weaver, W. M.

Woolley, Grand Island: me to find in soclalism a panacea was the insight that, granting to soclallsm as a urely economic resort all that s claimed which was further than I could go Fupposing soclalism to bring 1o pass economically all that Rodbertus, Marx or any apostie ever claimed, the community would soon be again suffering from its old- fashioned ills througa the irrational multi- plication of th ol Frankly, socialism as popularly advocated would be likely to promote reform in a few not unimportant particulars. It would per- haps at points act more happily than any less drastic change. n my judgment, lax soclalism would beget four appaliing evils, any one of which would be a fate heading out more hydra- Ike with woes than the existing system iselt. 1. it would communism. 2. It would file oft and at length entirely annul the invaluable spur of Individual initiative 3. It would annihilate the power of this natfon to compete Industriaily or otherwise with leading nations. 4. It would subject soclety to a sbecies of mob rule at nome. T for one belleve it democratie for the people’s work to be well and economically done, which never occurs under multiple eadship such as popular soctallem must involve. C. 8. Lobing Commissioner C. 8. Lobingler of Omaha read a paper on “The Popular Ratification of Constitution: Its Origin, Growth and Legal Necessity.” 1In part he sald: “We reach the conclusion that constitu- tion making without popular ratification is not alone only inconsistent with our basic political theory—the sovereignty of the people. It 1s aleo a deliberate abandon- ment of one of our most beneficlal institu- tions, a valuable part of our ancient Teu- tonic heritage and the outcome of political effort and experiment for ages. The states which have discarded submission are tempting to turn back the dial of histery and to sacrifice the results of twenty cen- turies of civic evolution.” On Rural Highways. inevitubly degenerate into s Paper. W. R. Kelligar of Auburn read a paper on “Rural Highways,” in which he said: The fundamental errors in the present law of highways are in not providing for a general plan or echema >f congtfucticn of #00d roads and in taking from the people emselves immediate power over the sub- The problem of Fhod roads in Nebraska, while one of magnitude, is also one of easy eolutivn. A simple statement of oy mileage instantly forces one to the con- clusion that the only cal highway of the immediate fut b o that overy energy of (he state should be ned to the accomplishment of this pur- pose. To bring about this reform all that peition of i present nighvay inw which deals directly with the road and it pairs ohonid be eleminited and & comp #nd comprehensive system formulated enacted to replace It. This proposed hould provide that each township or pre- cinct the size of a township s;mu!d be organized into ore road district and the in- Eabitants of this road district empowered a: an annual meeting, which should be provided for in the law, to determine the amount of money to be devoted to the roads for the’current year within the road | dlstrict. They should have the power to make the levy for this purpose by a ma- Jorlty vote, but, within certain limits, they Bhould be required to make the levy and in default thereof the county commissioners should make it for them. This system of annual levies should be required for a period of years—say flve—until the roads | of the state have been constructed, and then smaller levies should be provided for the purpose of keeping in repair the roads so constructed. As to Road Funds. This money, when collected by the county treasurer, should be pald over to and ex. pended by the road district under the di- road J. L. Mclntosh, Sidney; A. A. Welch, Wayne. Throughout the meeting more attention has been given to remedying the insuffi- elency, numerically, of the state supreme court than to any other one topic. Kelligar of Auburn was ready yesterday morning to defend the MeIntosh resolutions of the day Defore, which had been voted down because at first thought to be unconstitutional. Adopt McIntosh Resolutions. They had been given attention during the night by many attorneys, however, and yesterday were promptly, up, on Kel- ligar otion, and nn.umim: "lx?hay are the meat of Senator Hall's bill, and the assoclation plans to first get the legis lature’s approval and then let the assocla tion's executive council go before the vari- ous political conventions with the proposal that on the ballot of each party be placed the proposition itself, which is that the legislature be permitted to regulate the size of the court and the salaries, the size to depend upon the amount of work before the court. It s the opinion that the proposition, thus made a part of the ticket’ proger, will be carried safely, avolding the tall end process which has always been the Waterloo of attempts at constitutional amendment. The adopted report of the committee on Judicial administration, submitted by Judge ©. B. Letton of Falrbury as chairman, con- talned four principal recommendations, each of which was discussed and then separately approved. The first was that in thinly populated counties the county attor- neys be given only the civil cases and their salaries cut, the amount each county thus saves to apply on a general fund with which ome able criminal lawyer will be engaged to serve several countles as dla- trict attorney for a district to be made up on a basls of population. Retorm School and Divorce Law. Another recommendation 1s that there be corrected anomalles in the reform school statutes, such, for instance, as that which specifies that a boy cannot be sent there after he Is 16 years old, yet that he may be detained there until he is 18. The age for entrance, the association considers, should be 18. A third recommendation is to change the divorce law in respect to procedure to make it conform with a law now being pro- moted ip many other states. Particularl 1s it desired that the term of resideuce be lengthened from six months to two years and that personal service be required in- stead of service by publication.

Andrews on Soclalixm. Chancellor Andrews' address on “Social- fsm’ was in part as follows If T have any speclal qualification for | discussing soclallsm it is that of sympa- | hetlc opposifion. T was once as near being a disciple of Rodbertus us 1 could come without baptism iInto the church. I thought 1 saw In Rodbertian soclallsm, socialism sclentifically wrought out and applied, a remedy for the most glaring soclal evils In time and upon study, however, the | system which had seemed to me so de- | sirable grew to look quite otherwise, the dificulties connected with it assuming vaster and vaster |vrnl!url|unl until in my thought they towered abave and out- numbered those necessarily bound up with the present order. I was thus converted to the opinion that soclety has greater hope of reform on the general basis of in- dividualism than by flying te the unknown though inevitable illa accompanylng & so- clalistic regime. If the qu lon were merely whether or | not it is desirable for government to poss: and administer certain indispensable public utilities it would not be worth discussion. The thoughtful people are few, however opposed to soclalism, who do not belleve that government will in time take over a reat many oi (he productive agencles now n private hands. Government might go a Jong way In this without even an approach to soclalism. Socialism ~would not be yeached until all material instrumentali- Tes for the production of wealth bad passe into the state’'s hands, or at least so many ! of them that individual inttiative In its present and historic form had ceased to } function. There 1s a sadly convincing Induction, tamiliar to students of soclal history, that whenever material betterzient comes to the ignorant p as through a rise of wages or the cheapening of bread, it is | braska State Bar association closed with a | | banquet given at the Iler Grand. { absent, and W ! called upon to take the place rection of the proper officer of the district, Each townshlp at stated periods should elect one ro overseer who should have entire charge of the roads, and whose compensation should be such as to make the office att: tive; he should give bond and have the power to contract on behalf of the road district in all matters con- nected with the roads, and should settle his accounts annually with the county commissioners and county treasurer. Tlie new plan should provide not only the machinery of law, but specify the very kind of road to be calied a good road, and par- ticularly provide for drainage. This law should 'be so framed that the burden of constructing and maintaining all bridges within the township or road district, either under thirty feet in widtn or under the cost of §100, should be upon the road district and all other bridges should be constructed and maintained at the expense of the county. All damages happening from the hegligent construction of roads or bridges by the road district should be recoverable from the road district and not from the county at large. Sectlon &, chapter xvili, of the compiled statutes, insofar as it provides for the election ' of county commissioners by dis- tricts, should be repealed and commission- ers elected by the electors of the entire county. This section was enacted in 1891 as a shield for the inhabitants of the out- lying districts of Lancaster and Douglas counties against the greed for office of the politficlans of Lincoln and Omaha, and while the purpose of the act may' have been good, the law itself is utterly inde- tensible on principal and the excuse for its passage entirely inadequate to justify the saddling of this bad law on the remainder of the state. Lawyers Too Plentiful. In discussing “Preparation for the Bar,” Prof. Charles A. Robbins of the University of Nebraska gave the profession a rather severe jolting, declaring that it Is now easler to become a lawyer than any other kind of professional man and that the law- yer has ceased to be as a rule the most learned man of his community. At pres- ent, he sald, the education of a doctor, an engineer or a horse doctor is more severe than that of a lawyer, so far as fixed re- quirements are concerned, and in ten years | the numerical strength of the profession has increased 224 per cent, whereas the | medical {ncrease is but 84 per cent, and the theological 24 per cent, It is Prof. Robbins' view that a man to be a lawyer should have a college education and must have a High school education, and that while one year in law school {s better than two years' study in an office, the law school course ot this state should be lengthened :from two years to three years.

Mr. Davidson spoke of the work of the State Bar association briefly: He was followed by John L. Webster, the newly elected president, who congratulated the assoclation upon the position it has taken in the profession and recalled the words of & member of the supreme court of the United States who paid high tribute to the bar of the state of Nebraska, and sald | that the voung members of the bar were following 1n the steps of their elders.

The practice of the law affects the welfare of humanity, but it is | of the lawyer as & citizen I would speak. The welfare of the state imposes upon all duties commensurate with their position and therefore the lawyer feels them more than those of most other callings. “The lives of the members of the legal profession involve something more than the duties of the genmeral public to the state. They are sworn to maintain in all walks ot life the absolute justice of the state. Whatever of knowledge or culture the law- yer may have, the necessities of his career compel him to uee, and and fallure to use these brings him to professional bank- ruptcy. In the labors of the lawyer his en- gagements exact of him his best judgment and he finds ample fleld for the exercise of his powers.” W. A.

The Storz applications are held up by reason of protests on the part of V. B. Walker, whose complaints are in all of the | cases ideéntical to their allegations and | based upon practically the same grounds as those embraced in the Dunn complaints. The time set for hearing in the protests | ot Walker:is.Monday evening at 7:30. In‘the;Dunn protests no additiopal testi- mony was,taken yesterday afternoon, the | time being chiefly employed in secret con- | ference between the various persons most directly Interested in the pending conten- tion, while the board sat in its capacity of Fire and Police commission and methodic- ally transacted such business as auditing bills for hay, telephone service and fur- nishing the engine houses with clean towels. After Mr. Dunn bad spent some time in close consultation with Judge Ogden, who was the only one of the lega) representa- | tives of the applicants present at 1his ment- | ing, Messrs. Mets, Storz and K-ug were |each in turn called into the coaference. | Then the stenographer was summoned, and after the lapse of some further time Mr. Dunn signified bis willingness to appear before the board. Dunn Announces Agreement. When the meeting had been called to order Mr. Dunn announced that he had no further evidence to offer before this board, since he had entered into a stipulation with Judge Ogden, acting on bebalf of the applicants Mr. Dunn explained that it had been agreed that the protests in which the Schlitz Brewing company is interested should rest upon the testimony taken in the case of Willlam Buthorn, landlord ot the Schlitz hotel, and the two saloon cases regarding which Mr. Siemssen had been examined, and the Krug cases ypon those in which Willlam Krug had appeared be- fore the board. He sald there had been a stipalation as to the facts in regard to two of the Metz and two of the Storz cases, and therefore he would put in no evidence on any of the applications of these two brewing companies. This stipulation, as read by the stemographer, was in effect that In ecach case the brewing company was the real party in interest in the ap. plication for license, and the man who might be<put in to run the saloon would conduet it as a private business enterprise of his own, the brewery having no interest in the profits and no obligation to bear the losses of the businees His Protests Overruled. After My. Duun Rad made his statement the board granted thirty-five of the licenses which' had been beld up by the protests of Mr. Dunn, and directed that it be made part’ of the record that mo evidence In these cases had been offered before the board by the remonstrator, and the re.

The thirty-five applications referred to above did not include those in regard to which testimony had been taken, but late after a little secret session of its own, the board overruled the protests in those cases also, and granted all the licenses, includ- ing that of the Schlitz hotel. These, éases were twelve in number The license for the saloon at 2228 Cuming street, which location was in, coutroversy between two would-be tenants, was granted to D, A, Sampson.
