Lincoln, Noy.' l7-(special.)-
Loss 10 Nebraska fasmers is foresecn
By Thome A. Browne OF the state
railway commission, in the action OF
the railway executives in New York
in reducing rates 'on numerous as.
rieultural products on a straight 10
per cent basis.
In this decision, Browne declares
lie sees a determination OF the rail-
roads to ignore the recent finding OF
the interstate commerce commission
as to the unreasonable line OF pres
ent freight rates on grain and a de-
termination 10 ignore another finding
OF the commission that one-halt OF
the last rate increase should be re-
duecd, representing a II IL per
cent cut in this territory on wheat
and an additional II IL reduction on
corn and oats in this territory.
Nor can the finding for the larger
reduction made by the interstate
commerce commission be enforced
under IFS present status, according
to BroyWe.
DSn't Order Rate Cut.
For Come reason, the interstate
CONNER commission did no. order
grain r] les reduced" Browne said,
'but aft making its findings, said
that il d carriers did not reduce the
rates nuoonformity TO the findings
by November 20, an order would be
issued"
1T is evident, however, that the
carriers do not propose to restore
the differential between wheat and
corn unless they are compelled TO do
so.
\ THE railway executives apparent.
~ still cling to the idea that since
,the rates went up horizontally they
should come down the same way,
and that the same percentage reduc-
-tion should apply to eggs and butter,
which are still relatively OF high
value, as to corn and hogs and cat
tile, which are worth less than the
average normal prices.
i Middle West Helpless. \.
Il Meanwhile the large group OF
middle western states stand helpless,
except as they may prevail upon the
Interstate commerce mossission, for
the reason that the !, inter-
state commerce commission,
backed by federal injunctions, has
assumed that congress gave it wide
discretion to invade all the states
and police the common carriers
within their borders.
This attitude of the executives is
III the more significant when it is
remembered that the railroads as a
whole, west of the Mississippi river,
now are earning net more than the
8 per cent provided by the act Of
xongress. 1t is especially significant
to Nebraska because the main rail-
roads serving this state are very
much, more prosperous than the av-
erage in the district" ust
