Shows Hardships Now
Imposed.
Bv E. c. SNYDER.

washington Correspondents Omaha hee.
Washington. Aug. 24.-(Special
Telegram. NEBRASKA got its sec
ond wind at the grain and hay rail-
road rate hearing before the Inter
state Commerce commission when
Safe Railway Commissioner Thorne
Brown of Lincoln, who is represent
ing Nebraska at the hearings, called
u, G. Powell Of Lincoln, expert rate
man and statistician OF the Nebraska
railway commission, to the witness
stand.
Mr.. Powell was in the witness
chair for less than three-quarters OF
an hour and made what was consid-
cred good witness for those con-
tending before the commission for
railroad rate reductions.
, Earn More Than Share.
In testyfing and in cross-examin-
alton by attorneys for the railroad,
Mr.. Powell insisted that grain earns
for the railroads more than fair
share of the revenue when compared
with other freight that moves in
large quantities. He also contended
that coarse grain, particularly corn,
is unduly burdened now by freight
rates by reason of the fact that Di-
recor General McAdoo, in 1918, had
raised the corn freight rate up to
the wheat rate, thereby giving It an
extra upward jump compared with
wheat.
Mr.. Powell showed that at the
time this was done corn was worth
about as much as wheat and so it
stood the extra increase, as he ex-
pressed it, quite handily." Now,
however, he said, the price OF corn
has slumped so much faster even
than the price of wheat that when
coupled up with the extra increase
in the freight rate, which it received
during the past four years. it is far
too heavily oppressed.
Compares Earnings.
To support his testimony that both
wheat and corn earn more than their
fair share of the railroad 'evenue, he
compared the carload earnings on
various grains with such other COM
modities as cement, petroleum, ap-
Piles and lemons from California,
butter and eggs from Iowa and Ne
braska to Chicago, agricultural i'm
plements from Chicago and lumber
from the south.
With Mr.. Poweils testimony the
group of middle west states COM
pleted their case in asking the Inter-
state Commerce commission to grant
rate reductions and tomorrow the
carriers will present their side of the
question. 1t is expected they will
consume about two days in testi-
monv and that arguments will then
be heard. 1t is believed a prompt
decision will be handed down by the
commission in view of the emergency
nature of the case.

With the condition existing that there
is still in the country a far greater sup
ply of money and capital than IN 1914
it is irrational to suppose that a price
level favorable to active business now
would have 20 be BY any means as low
as in 1914.
Our business leaders have been for
some time past maintaining that pro-
ducers and wholesalers have brought
their prices down 10 rock bottom. .
Now that we know The average is down
TO a point only "a per cent higher than
in 1914, this contention would seem 60
be substantially justified. Further cost
savings upon the producers part which
may become available from lower wages,
shifted taxes and diminished freight
rates may be largely taken up in profits
that are badly needed from the invest
ment point of view.
1t Is natural that retail prices should

He could have winked his eve at shame

But he would neither wink at shame nor

So promptly they got rid of him and put

They said of him he talked too much, he
would not learn 10 hold his tongue.
He boldly called spade n spade, which
does not suit the man who's wrong,
The easy yes, sir would have paid in
stead he boldly answered NO
Which so annoyed the man in charge.
he felt Obliged 10 let him go.
He could have followed with the throne

When silence would have served him

known.
Had he hut played the friend TO ono I'm
power. he would have forged ahead,
But knowing he must wear his bonds,
he turned his back on him instead,
Oh. we who battle with the world and
know the lies we live and tell.
Who fiatter fools and wink at shame,

AIust in our honest solitude admire so
brave man as he
who spurned advantage at the cost OF
