The Judiciary committee of the house
yesterday made favorable report on
the Mitchell bill, providing for direct
appeals from the decisions of the rail-
road commission to the supreme court
and allowing the commission to en-
ploy an expert freight rate clerk at a
salary not to exceed $500 a year.
This is regarded as one of the most
measures offered during
the present session. Under the present
when corporations are not
pleased with the decisions of the rail
road commission it is necessary to ap,
ply to the circuit, chancery or federal
courts for injunctions to restrain their
enforcement Under the Mitchell bill
the commission is made a court of re-
cord and transcripts and appeals will {
20 direct from that body to the states
highest tribunal Under this arrange
lnent, aud coupled with the Anderson i;
bill which prevents foreign corpora
tions from transferring their cases to
the federal court, litigation between !
the state and the common carriers can
be more rapidly disposed of. The sec
tion allowing the commission to en-
ploy an expert freight rate clerk is al. q
so regarded as one of much merit, as I
it will enable the members 10 be ad- 8
vised as to where revisions and I
changes in the tariff sheets are need. s
ed, and to keep fully informed when
such matters are up for discussion t
with the freight traffic officials. Jack. +

Notification.
(By Associated Press).

CHICAGO. Aub.. Norman =.
Mack. chairman Of the Democratic M
tlonal committee said that no reduc-
ed rates will he put into effect for the
Bryan notification Mt Lincoln. Neb.s
August IL. The communication came
from Eben f. Macleod. chairman *
the Western Passenger AssocistiokI
and was in reply to letter set To-
Macleod by Mr.. Mack earlier In the
day calling attention to the fact that
reduced fares had been granted on
the occasion of the Taft notification
in Cincinnati, whereas no concessions
had been made for the Democrats
gathering.
The correspondence was prece0e6
by several telephopic conversations
between Messrs Mack and MactIeod,
the latter explained the action OF the
railroads by referring to the fact thet,
no reduced rates had been put into
effect fer any events In NebraskAl
since the passage Of the two cent
fare law In that state. He also ein-I
phasized the fact that the reduced
rates to Cincinnati were quoted by.
the Central Passenger Association but
that no reduction was made for the
Taft meeting in Western Passenxer
Association territory and that thers
was no discrimination by the Western
association.
The action of the railroads ID aim
ply a discrimination against the Demo-
cratic party" said MIR. Mack. They
state that there IL a two cent rate
law in Nebraska. which will not per-
NIT them to give a reduced rate to
Lincoln. But l desire to call Their
attention to the fact that the n ala0
a two cent rate law in Ohio, whice
did not prevent the, granting Of : ~
duced rate by the Central Passenger
Association to the Taft, meeting y

pose the Central Passenger Ass0cta-
ton are members Of the Western Pas
