The Railroad Commission.

Complaints Of railroad Determinations
and OF the various abuses which the peo.

the hands of corporate m~oLopolios have

the last legislature to dispose OF the qucs'

sion. This appendage of the railroads is
recognized throughout the state at its
actual value, and is being generally
treated with the silent contempt which il
deserves. Its recommendations to the
railroads of trivial changes at stations
aud side tracks are adopted If they SUIT
the convenience of the corporation mana
gers; otherwise they are promptly pigeon.
holcd. Of the long list of suggestions
sent TO the Union Pacific management
every one of the least Importance was
rejected. The discriminating rates in
coal from Sidney eastward were sus.
tanned on the ground that west of Sidney
coal was laid down lat cost" and com
plants of discrimination ut other points
were lightly brushed aside with thread,
bare excuses of tho necessity of such
rates in order TO meet outside competition.
The only action of the last Legislature
for the purpose of restricting railroad eX-
tortion which has proven ut all effective
was the thrce-cent passenger bill. That
was II definite and ~peremptory measurc
and could not be evadcd. Its operation is
saving thousands of dollars every month
to the people of this state. Its results
are tangible, while those of the diScre.
tionary commission bill canno be per-
cGivcd by the unaided vision. The gen.
cral disgust Of the people of Nebraska ut
the manner in which they vera swindled
out OF effective anti-monopoly legislation
should make itself felt at the next session
of the legislature in the passage of Il law
fixing and determining freight rates upon
the railroads in this state. In no other
why can the problem be satisfactorily
met. To leave the question any longer
to the tender mercies of the corporation
managers or to the elastic conscience of
the railroad managers commission will
be only to faSten more closely the shackles
with which corporate oppression and
monopoly greed have for years rcprcsscd
the productive capacity of this state and
bled its inhabitants to fill the pockets of
Wall street and Boston spectators.

The action of the council in refusing
to pledge itself to close Fourteenth
street to II width of thirty feet, will be
approved by all disinterested citizens.
The charter does not contemplate the
exercise of arbitrary power by the
council in virtually confiscating property
belonging to citizens, by closing up or
narrowing thoroughfares. The owners
of lots on amy street have invested their
money and made their improvements
under the assurance that the street is
forever dedicated to public use, and the
width as defined will remain unchanged.
III 1t is equity TO require n tender of
damages to property owners on streets
that are to be graded for the proposed
changes of elevation, il certainly would
be unreasonable and unrighteous to de-
stroy or diminish property values by
closing streets or narrowing them with
out due compensation. The council may
give a right to a railroad to pass through
Il street but they do not acquire the right
TO close the street by so doing.
1t is n question whether my agree
ii'hb9 tiIitl ny SltllltiCb VI ItSOllliOH
to close or narrow a street would be
binding upon the city. The council has
no power to prevent the next council
from rc-opening II street which it may
close. But such u grant may mike com-
plications in thu future which it is the
duty of the council to avoid. The meth
ODDS of the railroads are well known.
Possession is ten points of the law with
them. When Omaha agreed to donate
depot grounds to the Union Pacific II
number of valuable lots were paid for
out of the proceeds of the 5000, 900 bonds
outside of the depot grounds. In other
words, the trustees acting for the city
bought more grounds than the railroad
was entitled to under the contract. In
spite of that fact the city has never been
ale to recover these lots which are
leased by the railroad company for mer-
camille purposes. Once let the railroads
have possession Of any street and they
cannot be dislodgcd. To close the street
or to narrow it for the benefit of the rail
roads will give them virtual possession
and it will take a great deal of hard
fighting to compel thom to yacate or
widen the street.
