It is a constitutional matter and must come up as an amendment of 

 the Constitution. 



Ttie President: I thinlt tliat is right. I would like to have you bring 

 this up in the mtorning and when it is presented and voted upon I will, 

 appoint some hour for the discussion of it. 



Mr. Swan: Mr. President, I have a resolution which I would like to 

 offer: 



Believing that our annual state fair is an important factor in the de- 

 velopment and spread of the horticultural interests of the state of Ne- 

 braska and that its future possibilities for good are unlimited and of in- 

 estimable value to the farmers of the state of Nebraska: Therefore, be it 



Resolved, That the Horticultural Society of the state of Nebraska, in 

 convention assembled, hereby recommend that our legislature enact into 

 law the bill of the Nebraska State Board of Agriculture asking for an 

 one-eighth of a mill levy for permanent state fair buildings and improve-

 to become a law. 



And I move the adoption of the resolution. Carried.

 assembled, do hereby approve this recommendation of the regents and 

 instruct our committee on legislation to use all honorable means to secure 

 said appropriation.

 coming up. I notice that your interests are in a horticultural building and 

 I feel that all that is necessary is, if you just as leave have the resolution 

 include the other request for a building at the farm, but just as you please

 than this, but still I would be glad to have the other buildings included 

 with it. 



Mr. Brown: I would like to offer the following resolution to change as 

 a constitutional amendment to be acted upon tomorrow: 



Resolved, That article IV of the constitution be amended by striking 

 out the word "eight" in the third line and inserting therein the word
