cream rates had been - In effect since 1888,
With little or no change, and that since
they became effective the cost of handling
cream had greatly Increased; that under
the proposed rates the lowest raje ts ,2S
cents for a distance of twenty-five miles
and this Includes the return of the empty
cans; all other rates are based on this, he
said. Cream la carried on passenger trains,
for the Pacific Express company, on trains
Nos. 4 and 14, Union Pacific, the former
being an overland train from San Francisco.
The proposed rates, ha said, were no higher
than the present first-class freight rates;
the rates on cream were much lower and
out of proportion ' to all other classes of
merchandise. '
Attorney Ralner for the central creameries
beganbegan his , argument by an attack
on the railroads for agreeing on the demand
for an Increased rate. This agreement, he
said, was In violation of th antl-oomblna-tlon
and anti-pooling law on the Nebraska
statute books; all the roads between Chi
cago and the Rocky mountains, covering
territory from British America to the gulf,
had agreed to this demand and. this abso
lutely shut the people out of any benefit
to be derived from competition. He cited
a decision from the-Interstate Commerce
comisslon showing this was a, violation of
the federal anti-pooling law and also nu
merous court decisions to substantiate his
position. He then cited the commission law,
which put the burden oD proof on the com
mon carrier to establish the reasonableness
of a rate, and contended no testimony had
n ,ntrodupM to Mtabllsh that the pro
, t th , the 1re8ent
rates were not compensatory. The com
mission law, he said,- provided the lowest
rate and therefore he had introduced the
Rock Island rates as a reasonable rate on
that Is the lowest
that Is the lowest.
to ths enactment i
cream In this state, as
He then called attention
of the Sibley law and held that referred to
cream as well as other merchandise shipped
. . , - , i
by express, except in the case of special (
contract rates, ana so inr as me lesumuny .
Is concerned there were no special contract
rates In existence. Ths ' tendency of tha
times ts to lower rates and not to Increase
them.
Attorney Jeferl.' called attention to the
testimony that the express company em-,
ployed a messenger at S0 a month and an .
assistant at W a. month, while the reve-
nue on one train for one trip was about
a0. and even It the railroads got half of
that, one day would pay the salaries for a
month.
Attorney Oalnes attempted to show that
cream rates were too low- In comparison
with the rates on other merchandise; that
owing to the shipment of cream trains
were delayed snd the railroads In conse
quence lost money; thst the creameries had
taken advantage of ths low rats given to
the shipper of milk for family consumption
to manufacture butter and cream ts Is being
shipped In at the old milk rates.
CnsaalnJnt on Berrien Goes Over.
The complaint of ths various central
creameries against the railroads charging
poor service In the shipment 'of cream,
set for hearing today, was postponed until
August" 2. Charles Clapp told the com
mission that an effort would be made to
Increase the facilities of the union depot
at Omaha, to give the service demanded
by ths ere merles, and therefore he thought
there wss no need of a heating. Attorney
Halner agreed to a' continuance and said
l he thought the two parties to the suit
could get together.

papers that a soldier drew a ' revolver on
Dr. Shoemaker, who was attending a man
on O street who had been struck by a

to stand back from the man and give him

Terminal Tax in Tennessee.
Henry T. Clarke, member of the State
Railway commission and of the legislature
last winter, has received a marked copy
of a publication showing that the state
of Tennessee Is going to adopt the prin
ciples of the terminal tax law In the dis
tribution of Its railroad property. The ar
ticle states that Attorney General Cstes
of that statS has given an official opinion
that such a distribution is legal and his
opinion will be followed by the State oBard
of Assessment. Mr. Clarke fathered the
terminal tax bill In the house when It
was passed by the recent legislature.

As to your suggestion fluTf certain fea
tures of the Nebraska- law.; If litrraltv In
terpreted fcnd enforced would subject the
Nebraska consumers 1 and merchants to
hardships not -contemplated by the law, I
have. only this to say The representatives
of the Nebraska merchants and consumers
made this law and made It the duty of this
department to enforce It. But. if It Is true,
aa you suggest, snd I think there Is some
weight In the suggestion, that a sudden snd
rigid enforcement of the branding require
ment would cause hardship, then It would
seem to be the duty of this denartment to
have regard for such contingency and to
proceed in such a manner as to secure the
co-operation of such dealers as are In sym
pathy with the law In Its endeavor to abol
ish prise packages and, short-weight tricks.
It has been urged by members of your
association that large proportion of pack
age goods manufactured outside of this
state were 'ontraeted for by Nebraska
wholesalers long before this law was en
acted, and these contracts were made in
good faith; that these goods are now com
ing Into this state an dmany of them al
ready distributed among the retailers and
now on the shelves ot every retail store,
and that some time should be given bv this
department for these unlawful packages to
be disposed of.
In reply to this I may say that this de
partment has no authority to extend time,
and before making any statement as to
when the members of your association
should flrst show their rood faith In their
expressed desire to comply with the law, by
a guaranty to this tlpnartment that no
luriner orders win be given for unbranded
goods or goods containing prize packages.
If unbranded and prize package goods
stop coming Into the state now, that will
be one point gained. If dealers begin to

I find that many retailers have the Im

the retailer from prosecution. This pro
vision applies to the adulteration of the
contents, but not to the net weight require
