of all, that his permanent under secre
tary. upon whom he must chiefly de

INCREASE IN PASSENGER FARES
LOOKED FOR IN WEST.
STATE RATE EXPERTS RETURN
Reed and Clark of Railway Commis
sion Home After Presenting Case
to Commerce Commission.
Lincoln.— Attorney General Willis
Reed and Henry T. Clarke, jr.t ol' the
Nebraska Railway commission, who
presented oral arguments before the
Interstate Commerce commission at
Washington, against the prayer, of the
Western Passenger association that It
be permitted to increase its rates
from 2 to 2Vs cents per mile in west
ern trunk line territory, have returned
from the east.
Attorney General lteed, on behalf
of the protestants, in his argument be
fore the commission drew a line of dis
tinction between the so-called William
ette valley case, the North Dakota
Coal case and the Virginia 2-cent a
mile case and the case at bar. He re
asserted the argument made in the
western advanced rate nearing that
improv'd industrial and economic con
ditions made more certain than ever
that the railroads were getting all that
they should get and that any increase
allowed them would be unwarranted
by the facts. In view of the permis
sion given to eastern rail lines to in
crease tlicir passenger charge from 2
to 2V2 cents per mile, it is predicted
in Washington that the commission
will see the western situation in about
the same light, notwithstanding all
the array of state railway commission
ers and others interested in the
state’s contention that passenger rates
should not be raised in the territory
petitioning the advance.

152,350 acres, and 3,169,005 bushels.
Grant county was last with but seven
acres and 101 bushels. The greatest
