SILVER CREEK. Nb-. Feb. l.-To the
Editor o! Th Be: I am In receipt ot
a "Brief la Re: Right-of-way of the
I'nion Pacific Railroad Company." by
W. A. princ of (I rand Island and T. J.
Mahoney of Omaha, attorney for the
Valley Karmera Protective association,
recently formed among right-of-way
farmers west ot Grand Island.
This brief appears to be a general
statement of the case of the farmers in
their contest with the t'nlon pacific Rail
road company over right of way. The
purpot appears to be to enlist public
support for a right-of-way bill pending
before congress.
In limited space It Is Impossible to
enter Into a general discussion ot this bi'l
and to review tha brief aa 1 would like lo
do, but I do wish to state, with all em
phasis, that that brief Is full of mlsstate-
metita and th bill Itself is a dead
(lv-away of the farmer. If th bill had
been drafted at i'nion Pacific headquar
ters in Omaha It would not well have
been put la letter shape to serve the
purpose of th company.
Read th proposed bill carefully and
you will sea that its paaaag would put
congr oa record a holding to th
sound nes of th proposition that th
Union Pacific la under the law entitled
to a right-of-way of S feet. A declara
tion to that effect by congres would
help yon farmers a whole lot, wouldn't
It? And thst Is what your attorneys ar
trying to gat fr yu. Can't you see that
you ate being double-crossed?
As everybody knows, when the I'nion
Pecirte sold Hi odd numbered sections
it reserved only N feet as a right-of-way,
but st th asm time It sold th
other MS feet of its alleged right-of-way
of feet. It is now claimed that under
a decision of th suprwm court th sale
of the S feet was Illegal and congress
Is aaked to legalise th sal. But If con
gress should do thst It would be indirectly
saying that the company was entitled to
reel. For If that ISO feet was not a
part of the right-of-way then th ssle
was unquestionably perfectly valid, and
don't need sny confirming. It would
necessarily follow that In th opinion of
congres th company wa entitled to 00
reet on the even numbered sections, th
very thing thst we farmers hav always
been denying. True, the bill prohibits
diminishing the right-of-way to a less
width than 1) feet on each slue of th
track. But that applkrs diractly only to
th odd numbered sections snd could
have no effect on th ven numbered sec
thin. Therefor, what good would it
b to right-of-way farmers or even num
bered sections?
Th brief state that the supreme court
has recently held that congress may re
viae Its Judgment as to th neensarv
width of a right-of-way. If so, why then
should not a bill hav been prepared
limiting the company to fifty feet on
each aid of the track which, aa a general
propoaltlon. I all they have used snd
all they need. Thst would glvs th farm.
ers all they have claimed (snd no mora)
na would let th company sell fifty feet
mors on each aid on odd numbered sec
tion without in any wsy Interferrlng
with the operation of the road. As a
matter of fact I for yeara past have con
sidered preparing such, a bill, but hav
permitted myself to b dissuaded by at
torneys who. for some reason or other
almost Invariably look at things from a
corporation view point, tiuch a bill should
b at one prepared and Introduced and
