tonrt Doubt About Clarke's
Tenor of Oulce.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, June 28. (Special.) It la freely
predicted around the state house that ths
rullroails will not puBh their cross petition
for an injunction to prevent the operation
of the legislation enacted by the recent
legislature for the control of corporations
and In the meantime the attorney general
Is laughing up his sleeve, for the railroads
have very nicely caught themselves In their
own trap. According to all the rules of j
ar, interpreted by those who are watching
events, the railroads are bound to lose one
of their cases. For Instance, they have
filed one suit with the object of getting
the assessment reduced; the other suit has
for Its object unmolested high freight rates.
If they prove freight rates are too low, up
comes the assessment; if they prove the
assessment Is too high, down comes the
freight rates. And so steadily and con
servatively have events moved along that
the railroads have to make the showing In
both cases, so in any event. If they prove
anything, they lose. According to a law
yer, who was discussing the situation with
'.lie attorney general today, the state has a
"cinch," or something better than a shell
fame. This lawyer also gave It as his
opinion that the railroads asked to have
one case transferred to the federal court
because, with all their nerve, they had not
:he bra sin to argue a low valuation and
I high valuation before the tribunal com
posed of the same three men.
In the federal courts the railroads are
laying a reduction In passenger and freight
rates Is disastrous because of the enormous
linount of money Invested In their property.
In the state court they are claiming the
ralue placed on railroad property by the
6tate Board of Assessment is outrageous.
The property, they claim, is not worth any
thing like what the state board says It Is.
The state legal department Is very well
Pleased With the situation.
