Clemlnons in Clash
With Attorney General
On Disticting Vote

Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 28.-(Spe-
al.)-The legal and educational
departments OF the state appear to
take opposite views on the PROPOSE
ton as to percentage of vote neces-
sary for the purposes of redistricting
for consolidation purposes.
The attorney general has ruled
that the 81 per cent applies to both
country and town, but State Super
intendent Clemmons in an opinion
this morning holds that it was the
intention of the legislature to make
the 81 per cent. necessary to apply
to only the country districts. Re-
garding the matter Superintendent
Clemmons says:
During the time of the legislature
the educational committee, which
was interested in that bill, met in
my office and / we'll know their in
tention. 1t was their intention that
the 81 per cent should be exclusive
of the city, Hence my stand on
that position. l do not wish to put
myself up as lawyer or against
the attorney general, but | listened
to their arguments and know the
legislature intended this 81 per cent
to belong to the country people and
not to the town people, and that is
my position. The language may be
little ambiguous, but am posi-
tive the intention of the lawmakers
was to leave it with the understand
ing that the 81 per cent vote belongs
to the country people"

Political Agitators
And Some Labor Men

Hagerstown, Md, Oct. 2s.-Ac-
Invites of political agitators and
labor leaders OF the "unscrupulous'
sort were denounced as menace to
the political and economic security
of the nation by speakers at the
opening session here of the thirty.
ninth annual meeting of the Farm
ers' National congress.
The need of an effective assertion
of 100 per cent" Americanism by
the farmers of the country in COM
batting the attempts of radical ele-
ments to undermine the political in
situations of the country was inn
pressed upon the more than 1900
farmer delegates, representing all
sections of the country, who at
tended the opening session OF the
congress.
Responding to the sentiment Of its
speakers, the congress, by unani-
nous resolution, pledged its stead
fast" support to the government in
the strict enforcement of law and
order in combating certain radical
elements that would vitiate the fun
damental principles of our govern
ment and tear down its institutions,

Goodyear Company BIameIess
for Biq DiriqibIe's Crash

Chicago, Oct. 28-The Goodyear
Tire and Rubber company Of Akron,
O., owner of the dirigible balloon
which crashed in flames through the
roof of a bank building July q.
causing death to IS persons. was
exonerated from all blame by a
jury of technical experts and cor
cner's jury which investigated the
disaster. The jury recommended
that flying over cities be prohibited.
The jury was unable to determine
the exact cause of the accident be-
cause of the conflicting testimony
and the lack of material evidence.
owing to the suddenness of the dis
aster and the complete destruction
of the dirigible. The action of the
Goodyear company in adjusting
civil liability was commended.

IF Nebraska may be accepted as

Railway Commission Point
ed|y Informs Cambridge
Co. its Scheme Is
Not Legal.

Lincoln, Neb., Oct 28.-(Special.)
Covering the controversy between
the Cambridge Telephone company
and the State Railway commission,
in which, after making an applica-
ton for a raise in rates to the COM
mission, it was ordered by the COM
mission to send in data and facts
regarding its business, which it neg
lected to do, and later made the
raise anyhow, now contending that
it changed its form of doing busl-
ness and was therefore to all pur-
poses new company, the commits
sion has written the following let
ter to the company:
Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 28.-Mr. B.
F. Butler. Cambridge, Neb. Dear
Sir: Replying to yours of the 18th,
in re Cambridge Telephone COM
pany, it is apparent that you have
the idea that as soon as the common
carrier changes the form under
which it transacts business that it
is thereby relieved from the recognl-
ton of the state for the particular
moment and can change its rates
and practice to suit itself before
beginning again. This is quite a
remarkable Interpretation Of the
laws governing common carriers.
when the Cambridge Telephone
company was Incorporated and took
over the business of the Cambridge
Telephone association, unincorpo-
rated, but common carrier never
theless, it inherited all the require
ments made by the state on that as
ISOLATION. One of these was that
it could not change its rates with
out first making application to the
body constituted by the constitution
to regulate rates. That law put very
severe penalties on violation of this
particular provision. Whether IN
spite of or with advice of counsel
the company has made a grievous
mistake.
1T has apparently done more
than change its rates without au-
thority. 1t has incorporated for
$4,000 and assumedly has issued
stock to its various stockholders.
There is a law covering that very
point of which the company should
be advised and its failure to be ad-
vised does not excuse it from the
liability.
Regarding your further point
that you do not think that the COM
mission, in the absence of a COM
plant, can force the company into
doing business at loss, permit US
to call your attention to the fact
that, as attorney for this company,
you made an application asking for
authority to change the rates prior
to the time they were changed and
correspondence from the commits
sion to your company asking for
data was ignored.
1T would appear that at the time
that application was filed the COM
pany and its counsel had different
idea of the railway commission act
than you present in your letter OF
October Is. We will thank you for
an immediate reply. Yours truly,
THE COMMISSIONS"
