ATTORNEY GENERAL BROWN
DEFENDS ELECTION LAW

LINCOLN-Attorney General Brown
assisted by five lawyers, has sub
mitted a brief to the judge Of the SUI
preme court supporting the biennial
election law.
He argues that the Perry-Warner
act in no way co~ntraVenes the con-
stitution. He assets that the terms Of
office are not extended to violate the
organic law. He was assisted in the
preparation of the brief by Lysle-Ab
bolt, J.. J. Sullivan, F. l. Foss, Roscoe
Pound and w. B. Rose.
The biennial bill was designed to
do away with the odd year elections.
Recently o. B. Polk. for the purpose
of testing the law, sought to compel
the secretary of state by mandamus
to place his name on the ballot for re-
gent of the State university. This chal-
lenges the constitutionality Of the law
and Attorney General Brown filed his
brief defending the position OF the
legislators. The biennial law will be
come operative July 1.

RAILROAD RATE LEGISLATION.

Testifying before the Senate Com
mittee at Washington, Interstate
Commerce Commissioner Prouty said
in discussing the proposition to give
to that Commission the power to regu-
late railway rates:
81 think the railways should make
their own rates. l think they should
be allowed to develop their own busi-
ness. l have never advocated any
law, and 1 am not now in favor Of
any law, which would put the rate
making power into the hands of any
commission or any court. While it
may be necessary to do that ONE
time, while that is done in ome
states at the present time, while it is
done in some countries, l am opposed
to it. = + 3 The railway rate Is
property. It is all the property that
the railway has got. The rest Of its
property is not good for anything IN
less it can charge a rate. Now it has
always seemed to me that when a
rate was fixed, if that rate was an IN
reasonable rate, it depriYes the rail-
road company of it's property pro
tanto. 1t is not necessary that you
should confscate the property of a
railroad; it is not necessary that you
should say that it shall not earl three
per cent or four per cent. When
you put in a rate that is inherently
unreasonable, you nave deprived that
company Of its rights, of its property,
and the Circuit Court of the United
States has jurisdiction under the four
teenth amendment to restrain that.
= l have looked at these cases
a great many times, and I can only
come to the conclusion that a rail-
road company is entitled to charge a
fair and reasonable rate, and if any
order of a commission, if any statute
of a state legislature takes away that
rate, the fourteenth amendment pro-
tects the railway company"

GAS AND WATER
IS ONE AS NECESSARY AS THE
OTHER?
Citizens Of Large Cities Say It Is.

New York, June 13.-In the recent
agitation here about the price of gas,
the demand for lower rates was sup
ported by the argument that every
resident is as dependent upon a sup
ply of gas as upon a supply Of good
water.
It has come to pass that the day
laborer uses gas as his only fuel for
cooking, because of economy, and the
rich man uses gas on account or It's
convenience. Gas for lighting, with
modern improvements in burners Is
cheaper, better and more satisfactory
than any other kind Of light. Gas
sells at $1.00 per thousand cubic feet
in large cities and from that to as
high as $500 in smaller towns.
The consumer of gas in the country
uses Acetylene pronounced a-set-a-
lene), and each user makes his own
gas and is Independent of Gas and
Electric Companies. Acetylene is a
more perfect illuminant than the gas
sold by the big gas companies in the
cities, and the cost to the smallest
user is about the equivalent of city
gas at So cents per thousand.
, Acetylene is the modern artificial
light, the latest addition to the many
inventions that have become daily
necessities.
The light from an acetylene fame
is soft, steady and brilliant, and in
quality is only rivaled by the suns
avs. If water and a solid material
known as Calcium Carbide are
brought into contact, the immediate
result is the making of this wonder
full gas. The generation of acetylene
is so simple hat experience or even
apparatus is not necessary to make
it. If it is desired to make 1t for prac-
teal lighting, and to keep it for i'm
mediate use, then a small machine
called an "Acetyiene Generator" Is
employed. There are many RESPONSE
BILE concerns making acetylene gener-
ators. In practice, this gas is dis
tributed in small pipes throughout
buildings, grounds, or entire cities
and towns, in the same manner as
ordinary city gas. Acetylene is the
only satisfactory means of lighting
isolated buildings located in the coun-
try or suburbs at a distance from city
gas or electric plants.
