Senate passes non partisan ballot reform and seed bill
State Senate quickly kills the non partisan ballot bill in eight minutes then amends and passes the farm bureau seed bill allowing seeds to be sold in specific quantities. The house failed to revive Cronin bonding and Speaker Anderson received gifts as both chambers push to adjourn. The revenue bill faces misrepresentation claims while salaries for Nebraska officials rise to five thousand dollars for the supreme court clerk and four thousand for the court reporter. The Douglass and Sarpy county merger bill dies, the Omaha charter bill passes, and tax reassessment opposition grows as water power changes pass.

Senate Delays Bill On Censorship After Tie Vote
After a long discussion the senate laid the matter over to 2 PM Monday. The committee reported the house bill for debate. Senator Beebe offered amendments that resemble a new bill. The substitute omits a censorship board and targets what may not be shown, to be enforced like other laws. It sets a $1000 deposit forfeitable on violation. The decisive substitute was rejected by a tie vote and several senators backing the house bill may switch positions, threatening its demise.
