Attorney James f. Kelby of the
Burlington alleges that Senator c. A.
Sibley of Lincoln county is not q
shipper or consignee Of grain in Ne
braska and is therefore not a proper
person to file q complaint under the
Aldrich bill asking the railway COM
mission to reduce rates on grain Is

the belief that Senator Sibley's com
plant was not fled in good faith. He
goes after the commission by alleg-
ing that it has no power to reduce
local grain rates in Nebraska because
that would In effect be controlling

power retained by congress. These
allegations. and many others are made
by Mr.. Kelby in his belated answer
filed with the state railway commits
sion. He admits that the last legis-
lature passed an act reducing the rates
on grain and certain other commodi-
ties Is per cent. and that the act Is
in force on the lines of the Burlfng-
ton. Yet he says these rates are not
remunerative as to state trafic and
that the Sibley complaint is not in
accordance with the requirements OF
that act because it fails to enlighten
the defendant of the nature of the
compliments grievance. The Burling-
tons answer endeavcrs to make plain
that rates on grain to the various
markets are now relatively equal and
permit competition between markets
outside of Nebraska. but if local rates
are lowered it will disturb this equalf-
ty and fairness of interstate rates and
give Omaha buyers an advantage.

leoalitv Of Insurance Mercer,

Legality Of Insurance Merger.
In insurance circles doubt is ex-
pressed as to the legality of the mer-
ger of the Fraternal life association
of Hastings with the Western Indem-
nifty company of Chicago. which has
been approved by State Auditor
Searle. The statute is silent as to
whether q fraternal company, organ
lied in Nebraska. can merge with a
company organized under another
state. but there appears to be nothing
in the law to prevent it. SO it is con-
sidered legal in that respect. The
Hastings company is a fraternal com
pany and the Chicago company is a
mutual association. Whether or not
any but fraternals can merge has
been discussed, but Auditor Searle be-
lieves the law is broad enough to per-
NIT this.

Sheritf's Fees Pile Up.

BY reason of the fact that the
sheriffs of Lancaster, Douglas and
Sarpy counties kept their state pris-
oners in the county Jail the full thirty
days allowed by law it cost the safe
more during the last ten months for
prisoners brought from those coun-
ties to the penitentiary than from
many other counties which are farther
away. Notwithstanding the Lancaster
county Jail is within two and a half
miles of the state prison, and the in
situations are connected by street rail-
way. 1t costs the state al average of
$21.14 per trip. and an average of
$19.73 per prisoner: Douglas county
$29.1c per trip and $22.5O per prisoner;
Sarpy $3O.66 per trip; $23 per pris-
oner. This includes board for prfs-
oners. railroad fare and all incidental
expenses Of bringing the prisoner to
the penitentiary. Saline county prfs-
oners cost the state $9.68 each. This
Is the lowest average cost of any OF
the counties. The period In which this
expense was incurred is from April
I. 1907 to January 81. 1908. 1t is only
fair to say that Sheriff Bradley Of
Douglas county is now bringing pris-
oners to the penitentiary as soon as
possible after conviction. which dur
ing the coming year will reduce the
cost to the state.
