NEBRASKA CASE
UP TO COMMISSION

Continued from Page one)
OF six years and resulting in tar q
characterized by ex-Interstate Commerce
Commissioner Prouty az the best state
tariff he had ever seen.
In closing the argument for the state
OF Nebraska, Wills T.. Reed, attorney
general made an argument which was
highly commended TO The Bee by Mr..
McVahn and Chairman Clarke. He ar
gued that since the Interstate Commerce
commission must not allow unjust dis
elimination against any person or 10
cality. Il IL not sufficient that complain
ants introduced the Interstate rate and
compare with rates in order No. 10. but
they must not overlook this fact that the
state OF Nebraska-is Just as much To-
caiity as either Of the complaining cities.
Not Jobber-' Cnse.
He said II the order IL to afford a means
for unjust discrimination against Norfolk
and Columbus as well as Omaha aud
lincoln, that this Ia not jobbers case
in fact. because they do not pay the
freight. The one and one-quarter million
conaumers residing In Nebraska are in
the end to pay the Si,5OO.OoO of revenue
which the carriers assert that they viii
lose.
Il would be an unjust discrimination
against the people to re-establish the
former rate and thereby favor 81. Jo-
seph. Kansas City. Council Bluffs and
Sioux city. There should be but one
rate.
Each state honestly and fairly could
make fair rate and the same total OF
all rates make the Interstate rate. No
matter what name you may call H. to
remove rate order No. 10 Is TO say TO
each state In the union that your state
commissioners and state legislatures arc
useless in so far as making any rates
are concerned.
Chairmen of state commissions should
sit and assist the Interstate Commerce
commission when rates are 20 be changed
when states are interested.
Suggests Way of Adjustment.
AZ the conclusion Of his argument Mr..
Reed suggested that II might be a good
plan for the Nebraska commissioners and
the railroads interested 20 get together
with the members OF the Interstate Com
merce commission for the purpose of an
adjustment.
In closing the case G. G. Wright. repre-
senting the Northwestern and other rail-
roads declared that the problems in
VOWED are so tied up that II Is impossible
| for the state to handle them and that
only the Interstate Commerce commits
sion can settle tho questions ct issue. He
admitted that Council Bluffs is entitled
