of Stat Walt tn which he desires the
latter to correct th Impression which has
been sent out. to-Nebraska' by eertsln
Washington correspondents that Unci

According to th congressman the papers

LINCOLN. Dec. 1.J (Ppeclal.) Th
Missouri ractflc Railway company has
spplted to th surrxme court for a man
damus to compel the State Railway com
mission to aorept Its application made a
week ago for a hearing on a proposed
raise In paseenger fares from I to 2 cents
a mile.
Thla In effect will be a test of the
Jurisdiction of the commission In rate
canes wherein a specified amount has
been fixed by legislative enactment,
(taeatloa ef Jarladletlea.
Wha application waa made by the Mis
souri I'scirio a few davs ago the com
mission refused to hear the complaint,
alleging that jurisdiction of passenger
rates in this case oould not be heard by
the commission.
Hlnce the passage of the 2-cent pas
senger act In 1WT7 the railroads have
claimed that they have been hit hard by
legislation In every session. Every ses
sion since that tlma has been flooded
with bills of different klnda in which an
attempt was made not only to curtail th
Income of the roads, but also to force
the roads to larger expense because of
legislation demanded.
Deaaaada oat Roads.
According to the records over a dosen
bills were Introduced at the lat session
In both houses demanding that the rail
roads use ful lenglne crews on switch
englnea, use headlights on locomotives
throwing a light 800 feet ahead, every
switch to be provided with a light, and
several others, which, in th hearing
which took a great deal of the tlm of
th members before committees, th rail
representatives alleged would work hard-
ahlps on the companies because of the
falling off of revenues.
Pinal Blew Too Mark.
On top of sddlng expense the legisla
ture sought to still further cripple th
roads, according to the arguments of th
representatives of the railroads, by secur
ing the passage of a bill for a reduction
In freight rates. This , according to their
way of thinking, waa cutting th finan
cial airing at both ends, which, with the
added falling off In passenger revenues,
by reason of the large uae of automo
biles, was plsylng havoo with the earn
ing capacity o fthe roada.

are that the controversy will be on of
