BRYAN ON RAILROADS.
Rights to Reasonable Rates Must Not be
Ignored

Ignored.
William j. Bryan, as attorney for the
State Of Nebraska in a case pending in
the Supreme court Of the ULited States,
involving the right Of a State Legislature
to fix the charges Of common carriers by
railroad, recently delivered an argument
in favor Of the peoples side Of the ques-
tion, TIE following extracts show his
position:
"It has been affirmed and reRfirmed
by this court that the several States
have the right to fix reasonable rates
either through an act Of the Legislature
directly or indirectly through railroad
commission-reasonsble passenger and
freight rates upon traffic wholly within
their border. There ls another PROPOSE.
tion that may be accepted as true, that
as general rule the power Of courts to
suspend the enforcement Of the schedule
Of rates fixed by such Legislature or
railroad commission can only be invoked
when such rates yield an income so
small as to leave absolutely nothing
above operating expense. That is the
rule which l think has been established
by the decisions Of this court.
(Mr. Bryan here quoted decisions bear
ing on this point,)
The Court: "Would capitalists ever con-
sent to build railroad under an act Of
the Legislature which permitted them
only to earn operating expenses?"
Mr.. Bryan: 81 do not know, Your
Honor, but | will speak Of that in q
moment / want to address myself to
that point little further on. / want to
speak first of this constitutional limita-
tion.
eve contend that if the court can,
under any circumstances, consider what
is reasonable as return to the roads,
this income must be calculated, not
upon the original cost Of the roads, not
upon the stocks and bonds issued by
roads, but upon the present value Of the
roads.
"In deciding what is reasonable in this
case it seems to me there can be but
one rule, and that is that that which is
reasonable in other occupations is rea-
sonable in this business; that basis
which is reasonable in the ordinary bust
ness affairs Of life must be reasonable
when applied to corporations; that which
is reasonable to the individual must be
reasonable when applied TO the cor
poration.
ave contend that this court, IL it as.
sumes to calculate an income for these
roads above operating expenses, must
calculate that income upon the present
value and must only allow an income
which is reasonable upon what those
roads would cost to-day. When we as
sert that rule we simply apply to the
railroad business the rule that governs
in every other occupation.
"If, for instance, farmer owns o
farm, and the price Of his land goes
down, hs has no way Of raising theyalue
Of that land by charging excessive prices

MORE EVIDENCE OF BRIBERY
Several Persons Made to Appear in an I'm
enyiabIe Light.

The legislative committee began its
work by hearing the testimony Of SEN
ator Campbell. He testified that man
came to him in the cloak room and told
him that there was money in it to support
the Hanna bill instead Of the stock yards
bill which passed. He would not give
any name, but when asked if it was Rep
resentative Walters, he declined to say
that it was not him.
Representative Marks Of Jefferson
county testified that while on one Of the
school book conference committees he
was approached by two men, one oi
whom told him that the school book
fight was really a contest between the
American Book Company and Crane &
Co., and that if he would defeat the
bill by refusing to agree to the con-
ference report he would be given $1,000.
He had told the conference committee
about it, and Senator Lupfer said that
he received a similar offer. He said thet
offers had been indirectly made to him
to clay down" on the text book bill, but
would give the namesofno one connected
with the matter.
Senator Campbell stated in his testi-
mony that Cy Corning had tried to get
him to go to the National hotel to see a
man who wanted to SEQ him. That he
had later seen a man there who had
offered him money for his services in the
Legislature and that he had declined
and told the fellow that il another such
proposition was made to him he would
have the man who made it arrested. He
was not troubled any more,
Ex- Representative Hanna said that
Metzler's story that he had offered him
money to vote against the railroad bill
was not true; that he had come to him
and asked il there was not money being
used and who had it. He thought that
all Metzler wanted was to find out
whether it was being used and that it
was not likely that he was after any of it.
William Butler testified that Col. H.
L. Taylor had told him that sufficient
money had been raised to pay Fifth and
Sixth district members SlO0 each to vote
for the Wichita Normal proposition. He
said that L. D. Lewelling could prove
to him that the money had been raised.
Representative Weilep testified that
on Sunday afternoon, before the final
vote on the railroad bill, he had sat in
the Office of the Throop hotel, and Rep
resentative Dalton came down stairs,
saying that he had stopped in to see a
friend. Another member came down
later who said that he had been offered
something good (Which he construed to
mean money! if he would oppose the
maximum freight bill This was Rep.
ressntative Davis. He said he had not
taken it. He said Frank Strickland Of
Kansas City had made Che offer. He
said that the agents Of the corporations
In the House were the Republicans and
few scattering votes on the other side.
Eben Mccarthy, page, said that he
