TELEPHONE COMPANY
RESlSTS VALUATION ACT
CFrom a staff Correspondent


LINCOLN, Oct 31.-(Special.)-The re-
fusal Of the Holbrook Telephone COM
pany to submit to a physical valuation
under the provisions of the state law pro-
viding for it has resulted in the Issuance
Of an order by the railway commission
that unless that association sends in a
report of the value of it property within
the next thirty days the attorney general
of the state will be directed to institute
suit against the corporation.
The right of the state to make such
physical valuation vas questioned by
Messrs. Gaddis and Ellis, who own the
Beaver City telephone exchange, and by
the Holbrook association, which is not
Incorporated. Both of these companies
contend that the physical valuation act
refers only to public service corporations
and that the same act does not set out
the definition of public service corpora
lions. This is followed by the statement
in support of their position that as a con-
sequence the law does not apply to 'unin-
corporated companies doing business ID
the state.
Attorney General Martin, in an opinion
given to the State Railway commission
held that any company which serves the
public for hire is public service cor
poration within the meaning of the
| physical valuation act, and in the light
of this ruling the railway commission
has decided to follow up the matter
against the two Furnas county telephone
companies.

LINCOLN, Neb., Oct. N.-(Special)--
Through the decision by Judge Vandevan-
ter of the United States supreme court.
which refers to the control of railroads
by the Interstate Commerce commission,
does not set out any new phases OF gov
ernmental regulation. it nevertheless sets
out what has obviously been the grow
ing purpose Of the nation for some time
past, in the opinion OF j. T.. smith
special examiner Of the Interstate Com
merce commission, and who conducted a
coal rate hearing in this city yesterday.
The decision of the supreme court eX-
tends to some degree the federal control
Of railroads with respect TO the use Of
safety appliances, whether the cars are
utilized either in interstate or intrastate
business says the Washington man, and
the decision is prophetic he AYERS fur
Their. in that it forecasts a like ruling
with regard to interstate and intrastate
rates. Further Mr.. Smith said:
Matters of local, municipal and strictly
intrastate control over business az COM
merce must always remain With local
bodies. But wherever interstate COM
merce by its nature affects the commerce
of the whole nation 1t must and even
tually will be controlled by the federal
government
Somewhat more tardily the people of
the country may be expected to recog-
nize the Importance of the federal con-
| troll over all commerce that in any way
affects the welfare Of the public at large
The day will come when municipal ordi'
nances will not be allowed to interfere
with the normal development of the
, traffic of the people as a whole, and the
day will come when the purely selfish
regulations of the commerce within par
ticular states will not be allowed to in
terfere with the normal movements Of
our commerce as a whole.
Il do not wish to be understood as
laying criticism upon the state commits
sions generally; in the main the work o.
the state railroad commissions has beer
done wisely and with fair regard foi
the rights Of other communities. There
are, however, a few glarng exceptions
to this general rule. In one particular
state commerce that is essentially inter
state and foreign is controlled with {
strong hand by the railroad commission
ers of that state and without REGARD
either to the right or welfare of thu
citizens of other states, or of the highe
interests of the citizens of that stat
Itself Some day the citizens of tina
great state will arouse from their leth
argy and repudiate the selfish and nea
sighted policy that they have permitte
to deface' the fame Of their common
wealth and to obstruct the channels o
their commerce."
