Urge Exclusive Use of
"M6de in America" Goods

Lincoln, March l.-(Special. y
Exclusive trade in goods made in
America was urged in resolutions
adopted by the Nebraska jewellers at
the closing session of their annual
convention here. The measure was
adopted as a means OF helping solve
the great labor problem which con-
fronts the country.
The association pledged to return
ing soldiers its best assistance by
offering every opportunity for them
to find gainful employment in any
branch of their business.
Problems of increased taxes,
raises in prices and guarantees, were
fully covered in the resolutions.
The jewellers state that while they
are ready to Contribute their full
share to the support of the govern
ment in the matter of taxes, they
protest most emphatically against
any imposition of any discriminatory
and undemocratic tax upon goods
sold by the jeweler.

FEES OF YARDS
Criticised for Not Taking Into
Account Compensation Due
Owners of Property; Omaha
Case Reversed. A
From a staff Correspondent.

1910 49, -
Lincoln, March THE State Rail-
way commission has the right and
the power to regulate the fees to be
charged by stock yards for feeding
and for other services. the Nebraska
supreme court holds, in an opinion
filed Saturday morning. The COM
mission, however is reversed in the
appeal OF the Union Stock Yards
company of Omaha, which declared
that the price Of corn at the yards
fixed by the commission was too
low
The commission is criticised, in
tho opinion written by Justice Nor
rissey, for not taking into account
any compensation due the yards
for use of property or for labor re-
CURED to distribute the feed. The
commission has held that the price
of corn at the yards should be 10
per cent higher than the average
price of corn on the market the
month preceding,
All law points made by the cont
mission were upheld by the court
and the tribunal held that the legs-
lature had authority to delegate
commission to regulate charges at
the stock yards.

War CONDITIONS
NOT WARRANT
FOR RATE RAISE
Supreme Court Holds Car
Company Can Consider
Surplus Used for
BettermentS.
By a Staff Correspondent.

Lincoln, March l.-(Speciat. y
Passing upon the appeal of the Lin
coin Traction company for a perma-
nent increased rate, the Nebraska
supreme court today overturned an
order entered by the Nebraska State
Railway commission and added new
law regarding the authority of the
rail board in the regulation of rates
and service of public utilities. -
Two points passed upoA by the
court are of particular interest to
Omaha because of their bearing on
the application of the Omaha <
Council Bluffs street railway COM
pany for an emergency rate to tide
it over during war conditions.
Want Temporary Rate.
The supreme court lays down
the dictum in its decision that abb
normal conditions do not necessarily
imply the need of new rates. In
arguing before the railway commits
sion, John L. Webster, representing
the company, specifically indicated
that the company was not asking for
a permanent increase and would be
willing to put the rates back on the
old basis Just as soon as conditions
warranted it. Mr.. Webster repre-
sented that the company was losing
money owing to the increased cost
of operation. He contended that the
street car owners were entitled to a
return upon their investment.
Under the supreme courts deci-'
sion. it is generally accepted that
war or abnormal conditions are not
a sufficient basis for raise in rates.
Literally interpreteted, y under the
dictum of the high court, the Omaha
company will have to establish the
merits Of its claim for a high rate
without reference to the temporary
abnormal conditions.
Must Consider Surplus.
The court also passes upon an
other point directly bearing upon
the application of the Omaha COM
pany. The court says that dividends
fairly earned, but put aside in a
surplus fund and later used for bet
terments or improvements, should
be taken into consideration in read
justing rates.
In the application of the Omaha
company for its 7-cent fare, it de-
veloped that nearly $2,000,000 of the
earned surplus had been devoted to
and betterments. Cor
poration Counsel Lambert, appear
ing for the city, claimed that the
street car company officials were in
error in attempting to establish
this as a part of the valuation upon
which the rates should be fixed.
In this particular, the courts de-
cision is victory for the Omaha
company inasmuch as the high
bench declares that this fund used
for Improvements should have been
included.
