Utilities Bill
Weaver Voices Approval of Protes
Against Telephone Control in
Federal Hands-
Lincoln, Feb. 6. Nebraska's rail
way commission lodged formal pro
test with its representatives in con
press Thursday against passage of
the Couzens bill, which would take
control over telephone and electric
ity from local agencies and place it
in the hands of a federal commis
sion. Governor Weaver voiced his ap
proval of the stand.
The commission's action in the
form of a resolution accompanied
by a lengthy statement, was made
public by Chairman John Curtiss.
Oppose Part.
Not all of the Couzens bill, the
statement made plain, is objection
able.
That part which would give to the
"commission on communication and
power" jurisdiction over radio Is all
right, in as much as no state has
ever attempted to assume such pow-
ers.-
"Howover, when consideration
is given to the regulation of tele
phone companies and electric
utilities, the situation is exactly
opposite. The preponderant pro
portion of all telephone business
is intrastate.
"The same situation exists as
to electric utilities, except that
instead of jurisdiction over rates
and service of electric utilities
being asserted bythe Nebraska
commission, it is now asserted
by the cities, towns and villages
of Nebraska.
Interest Indrict.
''The Nebraska commission,
of course, has no direct interest
in the regulation of electric light
rates and service.
"It appears to this commission
that an inherent and fundamen
tal fault in the bill lies in the
attempt to apply to the tele
phone and electric companies a
federal regulatory system which,
may be adaptable to the radio,
sable and possibly the telegraph
industries."
It is needless to point out the ex
tremes to which federal agencies go
in the exercise of jurisdiction, once
limited jurisdiction is conferred up
on them, the commission added.
Governor Weaver echoed these
sentiments. Omaha Bee-News.

WHEAT PRICES GO HIGHER
Chicago Confidence returned
buyers of wheat Tuesday and an im
pressive rally occured in the future
market. The final advance of three
cents a bushel from the early low-
point, which had established anothe
record low for the season, was the
most emphatic recovery for severa
days.
The net gains for the day in wheat
futures ranged from 1 1-2 to 1 7
cents a bushel. The final sales were:
March $1.15 to 1-8; May, $1.19 5
to 3-4; July, $1.21, 3-8 to 1-2; Sep
tember $1.23 3-4 to 7-8.
The new crop news from Kansas
was less bearish and. with complaints
of winter crop conditions in Illinois
and Indiana already appearing, the
traders began to look for the annual
"scare" on the new growing crop
Some 500,000 bushels of Manitobas
were sold for export Tuesday, and
250 cars of country wheat were re
ported sold to co-operatives. All the
No. 1 and 2 northern offered at ap
proved loan levels at Minneapolis was
taken by the Farmers National Grain
corporation operators.
JOHNSON REBUKES MELLON
Washington Secretary Mellon
was taken to task In the senate
Thursday by Senator Johnson, Cali
fornia, for some things that are
simply not done in official life."
"They are," said the Californian,
the refusal to reply to a courteous
communication within reasonable
time, that is official in character, by
any department, or a reply that may
be either mistaken or deceptive in
character. These things, I say, sir.
are things simply that are not done
in ocicial life- except by the secre
tary of the treasury of the United
States."
Senator Johnson spoke his mind
after reading to the senate an ex
change of correspondence with Secre
tary Mellon over patronage in Cali
fornia. The nomination of Frank C.
Tracey, to be surveyor of customs at
San Francisco was pending.
Senator Johnson also related how
he had inquired about the appoint
ment of internal revenue collector
for San Francisco last summer. He
said Secretary Mellon answered his
letter a month later and after the
appointment of a new man had been
made.
The Californian offered no objec
tion to the confirmation of Tracey.
The senate confirmed him after John
son spoke.
Mrs. A. O. Moore and daughter.
Miss Jean, were among those going
to Omaha today where tboy spent a
few hours in that city looking after
pome matters ol business and visit
ing with friends.

Washington, Feb. 6. The conten
tion that 23 out of every 24 dollars
collected in special state insurance
taxes during 192S were used tor
general revenue purposes for which
the policy holder already had been
taxed as a citizen was raised today
in a statement by the Chamber of
Commerce of the United States.
The statement said that a survey
made by its insurance department
showed that nearly 100 million dol
lars was collected from policy hold
ers in 1928.
Reporting "an enormous growth"
in aggregate sums paid for insurance
protection and in total amounts of
special insurance taxes collected by
states, the statement said that "in.
ight of the fact that insurance
premiums taxes are on percentage
bases and are usually outstanding
among the different types of special
state insurance taxes, such tax in
creases follow as a natural conse
quence unless marked reductions in
the tax rate are effected by legisla-
lve action."
Special state insurance taxes for
the fiscal year ending June 30, 1929,
it added, totaled $92,178,871 collect
ed by all states, an increase of $7,-
15.&9D or 9.01 per cent over 1927.
"Of this sum," he said, "total ex
penditures of the various state in
surance departments aggregated but
$3,956,708 although representing
an increase of $438,064, or 12.45 per
cent over 1927.
"In other words, on the average
of every dollar collected in 1928, only
4.29 cents were spent for supervisory
service to policy holders. The re
mainder, amounting to 95.71 cents of
every dollar of tax, was used for gen
eral revenue purposes." World-Herald.
