WANT TO SEE BOOKS.
r. r. Commissioners Make This De-
mand of Continental Creamery Co.

The fight between the state board
OF railroad commissioners and the
Continental Creamery company has
approached the Let me see the color
battles thus far they have examin ed
everything from the court records to
the officials meal tickets and now
they are carrying out the first in
tentions.
Following a similar request from
the creamery company the state rail-
road board has filed a suit in the dis
trict court of Shawnee county ask
ing that the books of the Continental
be thrown open to the examination of
the officials of the railroad board. 1t
is a case of "tit for tat" and only
through like action on the part of
the creamery company will the case
end up in the same manner.
The railroad turned over its ex-
press tariffs and schedules as soon
as the suit was filed and there was
no need for action on the part of the
courts. 1t is expected that the Con-
tinental company will do likewise.
All of this trouble is the result of
an action on the part of the board of
railroad commissioners in increasing
the express rates on creamery
products beyond the interstate rates.
The Continental and other big com
panies of the state, as result, could
not compete with the creameries of
Nebraska and Missouri, and secured
a temporary Injunction against the
new rate The action of the board of
making these rates was for the benefit
of the whole state in that it would
create a number of small creameries
over the state.
The demands of the railroad board
as registered at the district court are
as follows:
showing daily receipts and expendi-
lures, the monthly balances and divi-
dends declared.
"Second-All of plaintiffs books or
records showing receipts of cream,
where received from and price paid.
"Third-Al1 of PLAINTIFFS books show
| ing sales of butter, where sold and
| prices received for same, together with
| any contracts entered into involving
| the selling price or delivery of said but
| ter.
''Fourth-Inspection of all of plain
tiff's records showing tests given on
cream and permission to inspect thu
manner and process used by the Con-
| tinental Creamery company in the
making of its butter and the conditions
| of the cream received.
| ''Fifth-Any records or agreements
between the Continental Creamery
| company and the Beatrice or Fair
| mount Creamery companies as to d.
spective companies shall purchase

"Sixth-Plaintiff's articles of incor-
poration, stock and bond records, by
| laws leases Or contracts existing be-
| tween the Continental Creamery COM
pany and any person, persons, COM
pany or corporation.
1.-THE books and records as above de-
| sired to be inspected are all of such

a Mistake on Lumber and Steel Schedules.

Says Democratic Representative Made
q Mistake on Lumber and Steel Schedules.
CHICAGO. June le.-William Jennings
Bryan got into the atmosphere OF Illinois
politics to-day. He received number OF
Illinois political lights in his room at the
Congress Hotel. Among the early callers
was Roger c. Sui ivan, Democratic ma
tional committeeman, and Charles Boe-
schenstein, chairman OF the Democratic
State central committee. Urey Woodson
OF Kentucky, secretary Of the Democratic
national committee, accompanied Mr.,
Sullivan on his visit to the Nebraskan.
Mr.. Bryan reiterated former declara-
tions that he is not and does not contem.
plate becoming a candidate for United
states Senator from Nebraska. He was
ready to talk tariff but shied at the
income tax. Here is his comment relative
TO the action OF Democrats in voting for
higher duties:
sThe Democrats who voted for higher
tariff on lumber and iron made a mistake
in my Judgment. However. they are not
in the same class with Republicans who
voted for higher rates on other articles,
because the duties on lumber and iron
were low. 1t was mistake for Dem ocrat Is
TO vote for higher tariff when muny
Republicans were ready to put those
articles on the free list. They made an
argument that may be used against the
Democrats in the next campaign.
