Will Hold Back
on Sand-Gravel
Loading Order
Rail Commission Announces Effective
i Date Beyond Current Busi
ness Season. j
Members of the Nebraska State
Railway commission, in conference
at the close of the hearing upon the
application of the carriers to cancel
the absorption privileges on switch
ed movements of sand, gravel and
crushed rock, moving to connecting
lines, agreed that any conclusions
which may be reached, and any or
der entered in the matter, will not
affect the seasonal movement of sand
and gravel during the current year.
! The commission has in mind the
fact that there will be an unusual
movement of sand and gravel in con
nection with the road building pro
gram of the state highway depart
ment during the present year. It was
recognized that such order as might
be entered in the matter might affect
bidding upon road gravel contracts.
Accordingly, that all miners and
shippers of sand and gravel might be
fully inforced as to transportation
conditions unler which their bids
were made, the commission announc
es this conclusion.
I The hearing lasted the better part
of two days, and was marked by a
I sharp difference of -opinion between
'the railroad representatives and the
'operators of sand and gravel pits as
.to the effect on costs of doing busi
'ness and on prices of sand and gravel,
'as well as upon the field of competi
tion, should the application be granT
jed. The railroads desire to abandon
the rule that requires me compau)
with the line haul to absorb the
switching charge it must pay the
originating road located bn the pit.
It was argued on their behalf that
the absorption charge is acually rep
resented in the freight rate, and
therefore, they making the two line
rate from the pit to market would
not appreciably rajise the cost of
transportation. The other side said
it meant an addition of a cent a
hundred in the principal marketing
zone.

Years
of service in
Model T Fords
THE Model T waa e o strongly and sturdily built that h
is still rendering reliable, economical service to motor
ists in every section of the country. Millions of these
cars can be put in shape for two, three and five more
years of use at very small cost.
So that you may have this work done economically
and satisfactorily, the Ford Motor Company is still de
voting a considerable section of its plants to the manu
facture of Model T parts. It will continue to do so as
long as they are needed by Model T owners. The follow
ing list gives the approximate labor charges for recoo
ditioning the Model T Ford:
Engine
Tone motor (including replacement of commutator caae,
brush and vibrator points if necessary) ... $1.00
Grind valves and clean carbon ..... $3.73 to 4.00
Overhaul carburetor 1-50
Reline detachable car transmission bands 1.5Q
Install new pistons or connecting rods - . 6.00
Tighten all main bearings ....... 6.00
Overhaul motor and transmission ... $20.00 to 25.00
Rear System
Replace rear axle assembly - ..... 2.50
Install universal joint ........ 3.00
Keline brake shoes ........ 1-50
Replace rear axle shaft, drive shaft pinion, or drire gear S.00
Overhaul complete rear axle assembly ... $5.75 to 7.00
Rebush spring and perches - - - ... 1.75
Oil and graphite springs ....... 3.00

These prices are approximate and are for labor only,
because the need and number of new parts depend on
the condition of each car. The charge for these part
is low, however, because of the established Ford policy
of manufacturing ami selling at a small margin of profit.

'27 Grain Law
is Argued in
State Court
Act Permits Completion of Trans
actions Without Meeting Ex
change Weigh Rules
Lincoln, May 23. The constitu
tionality of the grain marketing law
! passed by the 1927 legislature was
j argued in the supreme court Thurs
day ry Attorney uenerai Eorenhen
and lawyers representing the Omaha
Grain exchange.
The litigation is a continuance
of the injunction suit filed in Lan
caster district court by the grain
exchange to prevent the attorney
general from enforcing the law. The
lower court sustained the state's de
murrer and the grain exchange ap
pealed to the supreme court.
Exchange Fights Law
The act contemplates permitting
the buyers and sellers of grain com
pleting their transactions, if they so
desired, without, complying with
weighing rules of the exchange.
L'nder exchange rules, all grain
passing through it must be weighed,
for which a service charge of -cent
a bushel is made if the shipment is
immediately diverted.
The principal argument chal
lenging the constitutionality of the
law involves a discrepancy between
the title of the act and its contents,
according to Fred A. Wright and
Kenneth L. Waldon, counsel for the
exchange.
Aids Local Buyers
They pointed out that the ex
change is maintained only for the
purpose facilitating grain marketing
and that such charges as are made
for services are to pay the cost of
maintenance only.
Because of the strict compliance
with inspection and weighing rules,
the Omaha terms on grain shipments
are recognized and accepted through
out the country. Speaking of the
huge volume of business conducted
through the exchange. Walton de
clared that last year it totaled more
than $77,000,000. The amount or
grain immediately diverted for ship
ment, he asserted, is less than 10 per
cent of the total apssing through the
exchange. Ninety per cent of the
grain is sold to markets in other
states and for foreign export.
Advocates of the law. at the time
it was passed, asserted that it would
benefit local buyers who wish to pur
chase from certain producers who
have a certain quality product to"
offer. They also contended that in
stances occurred when in the weigh
ing process the grain became mired
