Newspaper Men
May Not Ride on
Men Mileage
Supreme Court Holds Railroads May
Not Exchange Transportation for
Advertising-Dis Discrimination.
(From a staff CORRESPONDENTS

LINCOLN, May 23.-(Special telegram
1t has been held illegal by the supreme
court for a railroad to issue mileage to
newspapers in exchange for advertising
This is the welcome the supreme court ex-
tends to the Nebraska State Press asso-
citation at the opening of it's annual con-
vention. HRG.Fi
The court gaTs, this decision in the case
where the attorney general brought an
original action toarestrain the Union Pa
cific railroad FROM carrying out certain
contracts it had '%Rh newspapers to ex-
Change advertising space for mileage. The
court had heretofore issued a temporary
injunction and this.has been made perma-
nent.
The opinion was written by Judge Letton
and was ooncurred in by the court except
Judge Rose, who did not sit.
Judge Lstton in his syllabus says the
railway commission act anti-pass and q
cent fare acts must be construed together
He said: Under the law, in this state a
railroad company or other common carrier
may not exchange transportation for SER
vices or property by way Of barter, uni
formity Of charge being required. To pro-
cure uniformity there must be a standard
measurement. The only standard measure
possible in order to insure absolute uni
formity in the charge Is money.
"A contract which provides for trans
portation to be issled in exchange for
newspaper advertising or for services the
value of which is indetermnate and which
permits the amount to be paid for such
services to be fixed by agreement OF the
parties, leaves the rate charged for the
transportation a variable quantity,
l.. anu IN
nish to the proprietors of newspaper, as
requested, transportation at the statutory
rate under certain limitations, restrictions
not required in ordinary tickets in pay
ment for advertising to be furnished at
agreed rate, which agreed rates are not
specified in the contract but which are
to be selected by the parties themselves, by
another agreement is in violation OF sec
ton IA of the Railway Commission act.
Section 1862, amended statue 1909, which
prohibits common carriers from charging
one person a greater or less compensation
than another, and which prohibits charging
"other than the rate fixed and established"
If the proprietor of the another news
paper may be selected by defendant to re-
ceive transportation in return for such SER
vices while the proprietor of another can
not avail himself at his option of the privi-
lege of such contract, then, equality and
uniformity OF charge do not exist
"Suoh a contract contravenes the intent
and purpose Of the statutes, which pro-
hibits unjust discrimination, and which
seek TO preserve to every individual in
equal right the transportation service of
every common carrier within the state
upon equal terms with every other indi-
vidual."

Prosecutor Stimson said Splitter became

Wickersham Declines to TaIk.
WASHINGTON, May 2S-At the pardon
division of the Department of Justice today
1t was said that the papers having to do
with the pardon OF Oliver Splitter, had
been handled entirely by Attorney General
Wickersham, and that no one In the divis-
ion knew anything about the lease except
instructions received by them to keep the
matter quiet when the pardon was issued.
At the White House today, it was said
there was no statement TO be made as to
the pardon.
Attorney General Wiokersham was at the
White House, when word was received in
this city of the pardon of Splitter. When he
left he seemed surprised that any one
should know of the fact.
Who announced it and where was it
announced?" he sharply inquired. When
told that the announcement came from
New York he said:
you had better send to the Department
OF Justice to find out about pardons in
stead OF going to New York for informa-
ton"

Whole Country is stirred.

One Of the most interesting reports
at the recent meeting Of the Ma
tional Association for the Study and
Prevention Of tuberculosis was that
of the executive secretary, DR.. Liy-
ingston Farrand, showing the growth
of the anti-tuberculosis movement
since May l, 1909. The number of as
sociations for the prevention of con-
sumption has increased from 200 to
over 425; the number of sanatoria and
hospitals for the treatment Of tuber-
culosis is from 298 to 400; and the
special tuberculosis dispensaries from
222 to 265. During the year 1909,
t~hirty-six out Of forty-three legislatures
In session considered the subject of tu-
b%erculosis, and in 28, bills were passed
for the prevention or treatment of this
disease. Since the opening of the
legislative season of 1910, out of ten
legislatures in session up to May /, all
have considered the subject of tuber-
culosis and every n Of them has
enacted some law that bears IN this
subject.
