The bill 15 a volutlinous. affair, paged in book form, ghd Is introduced by as myc of a review' 8f the history of pro- posed revenue revisfon in Kansas. This is contained Ingthe pficlal report of the Kan- «as State Tax commission, created by act of the legislature of that state n 1901. Some days ago John N. Baldwin, attorney for the Union Pacific, was asked his opin- fon of the Kansas medsure. He said “Well, I am inclined to think it is a good thing.” ‘As a matter of faet; Mr. Baldwin, your company, which has extensive inierests in is not opposing this reyenue bl was, asked. emphatigally replied the corpora- tlon lawyer, “we are not opposing it, but, on the contrary, we faver the bill, for we teel that it is & good measure and will meet every need of the state.'” Another Unlon Pacific lobbyist yesterday had this to say of tha proposed Kausas bill: “This bill ought to pass in both these states. It offers the ouly correct solu- tion of this revenue' and taxatior prob- lem. If there is to be any revenue rovi- slon in Nebraska 1t must be along the lines laid down In this measure.” Candor is Appreciated. So much for the Kansas revenue bill and the relations of the Union Pacific to it. Anyone who is interested in knowing what the Unlon Pacific wants in the way of rovenue revision in Nebraska would: do well to procure one of these . voluminous cocuments from the legislativk’ department of this rallroad and find- owts; “The bill is entirely too long to prit-in the columns of & newspaper.

With this qliestion satistactorily . an- s8wered there ought to be no further trouble in proceeding with the important work to be done along these lines. Committee Doors Closed. The special committee from the house and the senate revenue and taxation committee, which form the joint committee to draft and introduce & revenue law, met this aft- ernoon and electad Semator Brown of Keya Paha cbairman, and the clerk of the reg- ular senate e~mmittee: clerk. The committee has decided to hold star chambers, excluding representatives of the _bress or any of the public.

Senator Fries of Custer wanted the early and later moetings all to be open, contend- ing that the press and the public were Interested in the work at bhand and had a right to attend the meetings. He and Loomls were the only ones who voted for the open meetings, The committee maintained its mysterious policy awen after the meeting. All the in- Tormation that could be elicited was that Senators Brown, Anderson and Pemberton, Representatives Sears, Douglas © and Thompson were appointed to decide. whether general revenue revision, or sim- ply amendments to the present law, should be attempted and to report to the house and senate Tuesday. The committee will hold publle meetings next Wednesday and Thursday nights, at which any citizen or rallroad represent tive may offer suggestions as to the matte: of revenue legislation.

The measure slipped through the senate today without a dissenting vote. Personal Gossip. the very industrious members of senate, who are industrious even when that bedy is not In session, is Senator Brown of Keya Paha. But there are other reasons for the semator's love for work besides his regards for one's duty. The senator made a trip home when the senate ‘made its first adjournment over Sundiy.

After the senator had taken the stage that even- 1ng & blizzard overtook the Bemator and the driver took all night to get the senator home. Senator Brown went to confer with his constituents. He didn't confer. After spending all Sunday merning thawing out, he started a fire in his office and wajted for the arrival of his advisers. Thay, didn't come and it was too cold for the senatst | to go home, #o there he stayed, spending all | day Sunday pouring over the books in his office In the meantime Senator Brown is pay- ‘Inl a good deal of attention to revenue matters. He Is cbairman of the revenue committee apd will be .8t work on rev- enue matters while other senators are at home or going there. Senator Brown sald this morning that it was likely no new revenue bill would be introduced. “We have a revenue bill that with a few amend- ments or - planks thrown around It to trengthen it,”" he eald, I think would be very satisfactory. If we g0 to putting in an entire new measure it will likely be that the results we desire, or that the peo- ple desire, will mot be accomplished."
