RAILWAY COMMISSION
WILL START HEARINGS
ON CLASS RATE CASES
Material Decrease to Be Made
In Physical Valuation of
Railroad Property.

Lincoln Neb.. June l1.--Members of
the state railway commission say that
as soon as they have secured and di-
gested the decision of the federal SUI
preme court in the Minnesota rate
case. hearings will be had i'm Lincoln
on class rates The commission has
schedule that contemplates the lower
ing of rates from Is to % per cent on
many articles. 1t is expected that the
supreme court decision will permit
sttll. further reductions. One reason is
that that decision indicates that there
viii be a considerable decrease In ply
steal valuation of railroad properties.
In making its figures the commission
engineers had given all railroad right
of way holdings higher value than
the court apparently thinks is proper.
Following engineering standards the
right of way In the country was given
II value two and half times as great
as adjoining land and in the city the
multplier used was I1a The court
decision says that the roads cannot
complain IL their right of way is valued
at the fair market value of adjacent
lands
Two other points in the decree clear
up mooted questions with respect to
rates. The court holds that in deter
value shall be counted as devoted to
interstate business and what to inter-
state business an arbitrary division of
gross revenues is not the best way,
but that the use of the road itself de
termines this. 1t does not indicate
what is Il proper unit. but only that
q proper unit can be asccrtaincd. II
also holds that to arbitrarily say that
II costs two and a half times as much
to handle intrastate business as inter-
state business is not the proper method
of ascertaining actual costs In both
of these matters the case of the rail-
road commission in the rate and fare
cases was prepared with a View To
covering these matters with actual
figures and not by estimates.

MITCHELL VOTES FOR
TELEPHONE BONDS BY
DECISIVE MAJORITY
City Makes Defiant Answer to
Company's Announcement
of Rate Increase.

Mitchell, S. D., June l1.--At the spc
cial election held in this city for the
purpose OF voting on the issuance OF
100000 bonds for the construction OF
a municipal telephone plant. the bonds
carried by a majority of 5,7 The vote
for the bonds was 776; against the
bonds. 259
There has been long fight between
the city and the Dakota Central Tele
phone company concerning the matter
of rates. after the company installed
Its automatic system. Since May II
the company has put forth every effort
to defeat the city in It's demands for
justice and since that date the com
pany has been occupying the streets
and alleys without a franchise.
The COMPANY secured an injunctiN.l
restraining the city from removing its
wires and poles and this will be set
tied in federal court The city council
adopted an ordinance some time ago
fixing the rates at $3.50 for business
phones, 81 so for residence phones and
lesser amounts for two and three-line
party phones These rates were 30
cents less per month than the COM
pany demanded and 1t refused To ac-
cept the ordinance and franchise.
A campaign has been conducted by
the company for the past two weeks
in an effort to defeat the bond issue.
If the company now does not show a
disposition to do the fair thing, the
city will commence the erection OF
municipal plant.
MADISON SALOON CASES
MUST COME UP FOR TRIAL
Sioux Falls. s. D.. June ll.-In
denying the motion of the defendants
in the now famous case involving the
granting of saloon licenses at Madi-
son. Judge Jones. of the state circuit
court i'm this city, leaves the case in
exactly the same status as before the
defendants made the motion asking
that the contest instituted by the Ii
cense element be dismissed.
1T is contended by the license people
that on the face of the returns at the
April election license carried In Madi-
son by few votes. Upon advice of
The city attorney however. the city
commissioners declared the city dry at
the time of the official canvass of the
vote following the election. The Ii
cense element may now seek to press
the contest for early trial before Judge
Jones, so that if it Is determined that
the city commissioners We're in error
una should have declared that license
had Won the final decision In the case
may be rendered before July l. so
licenses for saloons may be issued at
that time.
The dry element evidently proposes
to continue the fight 10 keep Madison
dry during the coming year. and the
legal battle over the contest Will be
a hot one from this time on.
