-As nobody will object the commis-
' idon will not have a hearing, but speed

go into effect at an early date. The
reduction la asked for la order to re
tain the present proportions between

roads, ordered a 10 per vent cut in
ioterestate rate, and this order of the
Nebraska commission wilL remove !!
' discriminationtions between the two
schedules that would otherwise . re
sult, . . . .
The 10 per cent reduction will not
. PPly to certainfsrtn products, ' not
that any discrimination is being per
petrated atrainst the farmers, but be
caup, the farmers got a much larger
cu on grain rates before the general
run of shippers were considered. In
other words, their reductions are al-
, ready in effect, being 17V per cent on
wheat and 10 per cent - on coarse
grains.
A formal order was issued Saturday
by the state railway commission ap
pro vintr 10 rr cent reduction in rail-
road freight rates within the state of
Uebratka, as requested by the carriers
a few days ago, to correspond with a
similar cut in rates ordered by the in
terstate commerce commission to be
come effective July 1.
Hay and grain rates, which were re
duced some months ago by 17 M per
cnt, are not effected in either the fed
eral or the state order und will remain
. . unchanged.
On products of the, farm, garden,
orchard and ranch, including live
ttock, the 10vper cent temporary re
duction any rates heretofore cut 10 per
would otherwise have expired July 1, is
continued after that date.
While the railway commissioa'a ord
er generally exempts from preient re
duction any rates heretofor cut 10 per
cent or more, the reduction will apply
where there has been a specific re
adjustment on fehort hauls within the
ttute, and rates which were incident
ally lowered in such readjustments will
go down with the rest. Nebraska rates
on brick, sand, gravel and stone are in
this class.
