DECEMBER 18, 1915, GRANGE ACTS ON ~ STATE ISSUES| Would Slightly Alter Mothers’ Pen- sions by Providing Work for Father. FOR PROHIBITION AND SUFFRAGE GRAND ISLAND, Neb.,, Dec. 17.—(Spe- clal Telegram.)—The Nebraska State Grange closed its session last night A change in the law at present compelling county boards to let bridge work by con- tract was recommended to the extent of permitting the local boards to have an option in the matter. The Grange urges that sheriffs be paid regular salaries only and that all fees shall pe turned in to the treasurers. The mothers’ pension law was approved, but an amendment was favored to the effect that in case the husband of the mother drawing a pension is living, he be provided with work by the state and that the state relmburse the county for such pension. e e e e 2t e e e e e T | The state legislature was asked imme- diately to enact a rural credit bill, with t basis on land values. The Grange favored women's suffrage and prohibition of the manufacture of llquor, excepting for mechanical and medicinal purposes, While no statement s made by the officers of the Grange or any member, |1t is indicated that the question of mili- |tarism was discuesed but that no action was taken. It is sald the Grange Is fundamentally opposed to militarism. £ A. Dean of Broken Bow and Mason E. Hyde of Gothenburg were elected as members of the executive committee to 7ill vacancies, the regular election not occurring until next year, The local Commercial club was given a (e vote of thanks for its entertainment, and the Grange decided to hold its next meet- ¢ here if similar entertalument is of- fered.

Sloan Sarcastic, Representative Sloan, wohse tongue s one of sweetness, usually, was touched Wwith biting sarcasm as he referred to the hollday gift about to be presented to the American people in conjunction with the “special celebration of an event important to some, and observed with interest by all,” which obviously referred to the forthcoming marriage of the presi. dent and Mrs. Galt, on Saturday. After entering a protest against the extension of the system of taxation which the bill fosters, Congressman Sloan said: “A little over a year ago the life of this so-calied war revenue bill was indeter- minate. “I called the attention of the house to that fact.
