WANTS FINDINGS SET ASIDE.
The Rock Island railroad Saturday
afternoon filed in the United States
district court objections and exception
to the findings of Special Master John
F. Stout in the 2-cent passenger liti
gation between the railroad and the
state railway commission. The find
ings which were filed January 1, were
against the Rock Island and in favor
of the state commission.
The railroad brought a suit in the
United States court asking it to enjoin
;he railway commission and Attorney
General C. A. Davis from enforcing
:he 2-eent fare act passed by the
egislature in 1907. The other rail
roads doing business in Nebraska
joined with the Rock Island and a
-estraining order was obtained which
;ied up the law and made it inopera*
,ive. Judgq T. C. Munger appointad
rohn F. Stout, a prominent Omaha
awyer to take evidence and report his
indings to the court. Mr. Stout heard
i mass of testimony and then took the
:ase under advisement.
The Rock Island asks the court to
;et the findings of the special master
iside. It files a number of objections
o the findings. It alleges that when
he special master stated that its earn
ngs were over 10 per cent on intra
itate business he reached an incorrect
onclusion.
The plaintiff says that the operating
ncome and the total operating ex
>enses of its Nebraska lines from
fune 30, 1909, to 1914 inclusive and
he fiscal years ending June 30, 1915,
ind December 31, 1917, show a defi
icnuy uum uuaiiK'ss uuut cm ouuiv.cci
m its Nebraska lines. The railroad
ibjects to the valuation placed on its
iroperty, contending that the special
naster did not use the right formula
n arriving at the facts and that in
eality his formula shows a deficit in
tend of an income, contrary to his
indings.
The plaintiff insists that the special
naster used entirely erroneous figures
n arriving at his conclusions. Object
on is made to the findings that mail
tnd express matter are distinct
tranches of the service and in no way
ire they related to the income derived
rom purely passenger traffic.
The plaintiff alleges that the find
ngs that the property used in intra
tate business in Nebraska is $538,
,20.36. The special master is alleged
o have taken figures from the defend
ints, which it contends are wrong.
The special master should have sepa
rated the branch lines front the main
line and objection is made to the hold
ing that a fraction of over 10 per cent
is a fair return upon the value of
property in the Nebraska intrastate
traffic because the evidence showed at
m
the hearing that a net return of 25
per cent would not have been un
reasonable or unjust, and that further
that the evidence indicated con
clusively that the revenue derived
from the Nebraska intrastate traffic
was unremunerative and confiscatory.
