Hay Dealers Talk
Rates with Railroads
LLNCOLN—The place the rail
roads and airplanes will play in
Nebraska’s transportation picture
this year has taken on new signi
ficance.
A group has been formed
which sponsors said is designed
to work wit!) radroads on trans
portation problems.
It is called the Nebraska Agri
cultural and Industrial Transpor
portation Assn. J. C. Suttie of
Omaha, who represents a group
of hay dealers, said it is known
that railroads have a "serious
financial situation to combat."
But, he added the Nebraska
consumer and producer are hav
ing troubles, too.
"Certainly somewhere along
the line there is mutual ground
where ideas can meet and all of
us live," commented Suttie.
Suttie said he has been inform
ed that high rairoad offeials
have said they would like nothing

better than to have various in
dustries sit down anti discuss
joint problems.
Ira Watson of Inman and F. J.
Brady of Atkinson were among
Elkhorn valley hay dealers con
ferring last w'eek in Lincoln.
Meanwhile, an important case
involving passenger transportat
ion, has been temporarily, at
least, settled.
The state railway commission
reversed itself and ruled the
Chicago & North Western rail
w a y must continue operating
operating trains 13 and 14 be
tween Omaha and Chadron.
The Save-the-Trains associa
tion, which has been working to j
keep the last two passenger(
trains on the route, said it w'as
pleased with the commission’s
latest action.
A spokesman said there is no
other estabished public convey
ance along the route for passen
gers.
Cal Stewart of O'Neill, associa
tion president, said 33,000 passen
gers use the two trains yearly
and proposed local airline service
could not possibly handle that
load.
In addition, Stewart said, any
substitute service could hardly
match the mail, express and
passenger service for the 43
northeast and northern Nebraska
communities which trains 13 and
14 serve.
While the trains were restored
until new approaches to the prob
lem by the railroads can lie eval
uated, hopes for immediate feed
er airline service now are dim
mer.
The state aeronautics depart
ment wants to put immediate
service on the route until civil
aeronautics board decides
whether it will overrule an exam
iner and provide air service be
tween the two cities.
Hopes, meanwhile, are bright
that the state will get a local air
line network, maybe this year.
The CAB has the matter under
advisement
Truck Scale—
The trucker who hops-skips
Nebraska, a'.old mg any of the 12
truck weighing scales, will have
a new enemy Apnl 1.
It will be a mobile scale, that
can be shifted from one location
to another, thus providing a wea
pon as formidable as radar.
Richard T Carter, chief of the
state highway department scales
division, said the minority of
truckers who violate weight
limits make no secret about the
fact they can cross the state with
out hitting one of the 12 scales.
Carter said the mobile scale
probably will be in a location no
more than a couple of hours. He
said its four-man crew can pack
up the gadget and set it up quick
ly at another site.
Carter hapes to have three of
the scales soon.
Doves Again—
A "hot potato” in two sessions
of the legislature, may make its
appearance again in the 1959
meeting.
That’s the question of whether
the state ought to permit hunters
to shoot mourning doves.
The state game commission is
reported favorabe to the idea of
peimitting the hunting. The com
mission said the dove population
is at an all time high.
Latest figures show 19 million
are shot annually by hunters in
the 30 states having such sea
sons.
There is no evidence, the com
mission said, that shooting of the
buds in Nebraska would have a
drastic effect on the population of
them.
The national and international
migratory pattern of doves ind
cates the' futility of one or more
states setting themselves up as
“dove preserves,” the commiss
ion said in a statement contain
ing facts on the bird.
Car Insurance—
Most Nebraskans will have to
cough up more money to pay the
insurance premiums on their
automobiles.
State Insurance Director John
Binning approved a hike of about
eight percent for companies which
write about 20 percent of the
automobile insurance in Ncbras
kci»
The rate hikes were approved
for the National Bureau of Cas
ualty Underwriters and the Nat
ional Automobile Underwriters
association.
Binning said most companies
follow the lead of the members of
the two groups. _
Nebraska car insurance rates
are among the five lowest states
in the nation. Binning said. The
other four are North and South
Dakota, Wyoming and Colorado.
The last rate increase was auth
orized in February of 1957.
Binning noted the cost of re
pairing new cars, with the large
amount of grille work and head
lights. is higher than in older
models, and this influenced the
rates somewhat.
One O’Neill wholesaler said the'
fancy grilles, variety of exhausts,
bumpers and so forth have
whooped inventories substantilly.
