TWO LAWS NEED
SOME CHANGES
Railway Commission Suggests
That Some Amendments
Are Necessary.
TO GOVERN POWER LINES
tFrom a Staff Correspondent

Lincoln, Jan. l.-(Special.)-Two
laws passed by the last legislature
need fixing, according to the report
of the State Railway commission filed
with the governor.
These are the public warehouse law
and the electric transmission law.
Regarding the former the commission
believes that the law should be
changed so as to give the farmer more
protection. As it is now an elevator
may store grain in excess of the bond
given and the commission believes
that this should be remedied to cover
all the capacity of the elevator.
The commission says that the cleo
trio transmission law came at Just the
right time as construction of high
voltage lines has increased consider
ably during the last two years and in
dications point to a more rapid de-
velopment in the future, but the act
needs penalties.
Nebraska suffered with other states
from car shortage, but because OF the
activity of its state commission Jared

homa on the south or Colorado and
other states on the west.

reported to him. He gives them a
thorough examination, quiZzes them as
to what they intend to do upon ar
rival at their destination, gets the
names of acquaintance or relatives
and finds out the occupation of the ap-
plicants.
In addition to this every person
who desires to obtain a passport must
have permit signed by the draft Of
ficer. One case is cited of where ap-
plication papers were returned from
Washington because not accompanied

British commission composed of Sir
John White-Todd and John r. Drake

her consumption of sugar 80 per cent,
and wholesalers were being allotted
only one-half their requirements. One
quarter of sugar imports into Britain
he said, were wasted.
