Washington, Feb. 21.-Not for years
have so many f~ar-reaching principles
relating to interstate commerce been
approved by the supreme court of the
United States, as were established in
its decisions IS the unquestioned law
of the land. Decisions on several
other difficult questions also were an
polnced.
That the passenger has no right to
buy tickets with services, advertising,
releases or property, nor can the rail
road company buy services, advertis-
Ing, releases or property with trans
%portation.
That a law regulating the size OF
rev On trains within the state which
Is not an obstruction to interstate com
merce, but is rather enacted in aid OF
interstate commerce, may be passed
by a state for the public safety.
That the supreme court will review
the validity of an order OF the inter
state commerce commission ever
though the two-year limitation on the
lie Of the order has expired.
That a railway system may not es-
cape regulation as an instrument OF
interstate commerce because one OF
its constituent parts is a wharfage
company and its dominating power
ever tie wharfage company rests in
tie fact that it is q holding company.
That the interstate commerce com

sonable" merely because the rate is

years ago proved to be too small. At
this time the penitentiary, soldiers
home at Grand Island, soldiers home
at Milford and the industrial school
for boys at Kearney are practically
| out of funds and deficiency claims will
pile up between now and the 1st Of
april, when new appropriations de,
come available. y
For the first time the estimated ex-
penses of the state for the next two
years are smaller than the estimated
income of the state. The estimated
expenditures. including about 100000
for new buildings, are $7,O48,94S.45,
while the estimated income for the
same period is $7,352,S47.S9. Since
these figures were placed before the
legislature, more new buildings and
! new institutions have been asked for
in different parts of the state. The
current expenses of the state are con-
| stantly increasing, but If the legisla-
! ture is careful with the peoples non
ey the income of the state will be suf-
ficient to meet expenses and to build
many new buildings. Most Of the ex-
penses of the state are paid from the
general fund and the income for this
fund for the next two years will net
exceed s4,675,0 900. Of that amount,
$3,132,252 is the estimated amount of
general fund taxes to be derived from
the levies o. 1911 and 1912. The cry
of economy has barely been raised
during the present session Of the leg
islature, except in regard to the most
insignificant items of expense. AS a
rule the most noise is made in regard
to little items and the least over the
big expenditures. Those VINO may
pose later as watchdogs Of the peo-
rle's money have not thus far been
heard from in the legislative halls.
Excerpts Newspapers.
The senate threw a bouquet to the
newspapers Of Nebraska by excepting
them from the provisions of s, F. 81,
by Bartling. a bill to suppress all free
gift enterprises. Whether or not the
newspapers desire. to be in the TX
cepted class was not divulged in de-
bate. The bill is intended to sup
press trading stamp gift enterprises.
It makes it unlawful to offer to give
anything of value in consideration for
the purchase Of any article or thing,
but as amended in the senate it ex-
cepts manufacturers OR retailers who
sell original packages containing
-~;.oo -, oor{iHcofnc oo11inr for nri1oS
and redeemable by the manufacturer,
and also excerpts newspaper subscrip-
ton contests. The bill as originally
drawn was prepared by the Nebraska
Retail Dealers association:
