Before the vote Senator Howell spoke briefly to say that the attempt to saddle the bill oh the state was unfalr. If the bill were padsed Wt first amended ex- cluding metropolitan citfes, he sald there would be little objection to it from Dous- las county Senator King replied it was Impossible to suspend the operatlon of a criminal law from any portion of thé state, and the roll call was ordered.

Just as the legislature of 1907 will be re- membered for the good work it sccom- plished and the wholesome legislatidn it enacted, so will the legislature of 1%09 be referred to as the most disappointing in the history of the state—disappointing to those who expected something wholesome and good. From the outset the legislature h; dominated and controlled absolutel the corporations. Nov one single measure Was passed relating to the common car- passage of bills under which Governor Shallenberger could build up a political machine for the bemefit of the democratic party. There is now in the hands of the governor at least a score of bills which provide jobs for Jobless democrats. From the first time the gavel fell in the legislature of 1900 it has been a scramble for the ple counter. The scramble was unseemly and all regard for the welfare of the state was lost sight of in providing places for those who voted the democratic ticket. Shallenberger, drawing 3200 a year from the state, had special charge of this class of legislation, and looked after the interest of the chieftain. While the legislature probably will be referred to often as the ‘“organization for the relief of jobless democrats” it also marks Mr. Bryan's first practical test in constructive statesmanship in Nebraska. Mr. Bryan had full sway and ne Is to blame for the action of the Jegislature. When it came to a test between those members who really wanted to do pome- thing for the betterment of the state and the Interests of the corporations Mr. Bryan was found wanting. He agreed to the bill to guarantee bank deposits and endorsed it. It was denounced on the floor of the house by W. J. Tavlor of Custer county, a democrat, as an instrument having been amended in the interests of the national banks Loses on Referendum. Mr. Bryan did not fight the measure, but when the time came he surrendered. He djd fight for the initiative and refer- endum, but he made this fight long after the members of the legislature had begun to lose faith in his ability and his in- fluence had gone. Mr. Bryan was responsible for the se- lection of the standing committees of the Arthur Mullen, an appointee of Governor ices were lost to the state. The speaker was unable to even control the houss and keep order during the session, though he dia try. The bank guaranty bill is said by leading democrats to be of no aceount. The reciprocal demurrage bill amounts to mothing. . The pledge for economical Appropria- tions has fizzled out, dependent upon what the governor does. The platform pledge of the populists for county option was turned down cold. The platform provision respect to 800d roads, which was promilled as one of the things greatly to be désired, failed completely, and while there were bills drafted which provide for a comprehensive system of road fmprovement under a defi- nite head the only measure to pass the leg- islature bearing on this question was one little one-section measure permitting the county commissioners to fix the boundaries of road districts as they desire and limiting their size. Everything else was killed. The - platform pledged the demoocratic party to remedial revenue legislation, but when the members began to consider the merits of the case about which they made such a commotion during the campaign they found the present law with respect to the State Board of Equalization was abso- lutely §00d and they passed an amendatory act that is intended to throw dust in the eyes of the people and which gives to the state board the powers they exercise at present, but pretends to do otherwise. The bills providing for the election of precinct assessors every two years went through, but it is generally regarded that this is a distinet movement backward and a means to open the way to the corporations to re- turn to the old tax-shirking methods from which the republican party extricated the state, Corporations Dector Bill.

The bil' was amended ‘to include common carriers and that portion of the stock yards known as the switching department, together with the transportation pens for stock only and the viaduets covering the tracks. The yards themselves, for which Taylor of Custer made so many battles, escaped inclusion, and when the vote was taken Senator Ransom, with the stock yards regulation blll safely dead, leaned back in his seat and smiled a smile of sat faction as he looked over to Senator Olli the only senator registering as a populist in the Thirty-first session of the legis- lature, who has stood firmly by the dean of the Donglas delegation in his fight for the corporation for which he boasted openly on the floor in debate he was the attorney and which he represented as an attorney before the senate committee that was giving a hearing to the stdck ‘yards regulation DBill of blessed memory. No ¥V ble Legisiation. No bill of any importance to the state in- sofar as improving existing laws is con- cerned was passed. A careful investigation of the bills now in the hands of the gov- ernor and those which have been signed will show them to be the poorest and most carglessly drawn of any bills which have passed a previous legislature The legislature was controlled from the outside and the few members who had the ability and the intention to do something for the good of the state were overwheimed long ago. Ransom was the boss of the senate and he Is the attorney for the stock yards. He appeared before the legislative committees in the intérest of his clients. Taylor of Custer of the house led the fight agalnst Ransom end he proved himself a better cltizen and a legislator than a politiclan, but he was powerless to cope with the gigantic machine bufided up on the other side. Rumors of all kinds affecting the stand- ing of the upper house were circulated and printed but were not called. Ollis of Val- ley county Insisted upon an investigating committee to clear the rallroad committee of the charge of belng dominated by the railroads. The committeg never met. Mr. Ollis falled to get his whitewash. Not all the members of the legislature were bad by any means. Some individual members did the best they could agalnst 0dds. There were a lot of good men on the payroll, but as a whole the legislature has been one of the rankest if not the very worst ever held in Nebraska The republicans took little part in the | affairs of the session.
