OMAHA FIGHTS FOR
BETTER GRAIN RATE
Grain Exchange Asks Discrim-
nation in Favor Of st. Louis
Be Discontinued.
SOUTHERN GRAIN BARRED

How Omaha has been Disseminated
against for years by railroads and
how it had built up large Grain En-
change in spite of the opposition OF
carriers, was the testimony Of Ed
Smith, attorney for the Omaha Grain
exchange, in rate hearing before
George N, Brown, examiner from the
Interstate Commerce commission, at
the federal building.
The complaint is directed against
1856 railroads and effects grain ship
ments from Omaha to points into
Oklahoma, Arkansas, Texas, LOUISE
ana and New Mexico.
That the railroads leading into St.
Louis are favoring that city over
Omaha is the contention OF the Oma-
ha exchange. Evidence was intro
duced to show that St. Louis can
have grain shipped in from points
500 miles farther than Omaha for W
cents less per hundred.
LeSb 70 St, Lou6.
At present St. Louis has grain
hauled from Fort Worth, Tex, for
22n cents, while Omaha must pay
% cents. In distance the two points
are about, the same. That it can sue
eessfully compete with St. Louis, the
Omaha exchange asks for reduction
Of sH cents. making the total cost Of
the haul 225 cents.
A large delegation from St. Louis
is fighting the reduction. Kansas City
representatives are also on the
ground asserting that If Omaha SCI
cures the reduction they should have
one in proportion.
About 40 per cent Of all the corn
and oats shipped out Of this market
goes to southern points. Should the
Omaha exchange prove its conten-
ton it will save annually in freight
rates about $zs0,000.

Kugel Licenses
Will Cost $1,000

u do not believe any technicalitv
can be found in the law whereby the
council could legally impose less than
$1,000 for saloon license to cover

Lambert to City Commissioner Ku-
gel when asked for an opinion.
IF the licenses had been granted
for full year and $1,000 charged and
then the license period had been ur-
expectedly cut short, there might be
some situation to justify reduction
Of the license fee, and even at that I
am not sure reduction could be
made, but under the present condi-
tons / cannot see where any charge
less than $1,000 can be made" added
Mr.. Lambert.
