SUGAR PLANT MAY BE MOVED
Manager Scllley Suggests Better Pros
pects Nearer Beet Fields.
North Platte, Neb. 11. Hugh Scll
ley, resident manager of the Standard
beet sugar fact-ory at Leavltt, has been
visiting his brother, James Scllley,
who is field ngent at this point for
the company. Mr. Scilley says It Is
doubtful whether or not the Standard
factory will be operated next season.
Mr. Ferguson's lease expires March 1,
and as the beet growers are demand
ing n flat rate of $5 per ton he docs
not think it advisable to re-lease the
factory. Mr. Scllley also says In his
opinion the factory will be sold under
foreclosure soon after March 1 and
tho bondholders will probably buy it
and remove It to a point neaier the
beet growing district.
RAILWAY COMMISSION CASE
Constitutionality of Act Argued to Ne
braska Supreme Court. I
Lincoln, Feb. 8. Exhaustive argu-
incuts were made in the supremo
court on tho constitutionality of tho
elective state railroad commission. '

General Thompson under authority of
a legislative resolution passed early,
at the present session. At tho elec-!
tion last November threo commission
ers were elected, the power to exer
cise their functions being contingent
on tho supremo court sustaining tho
legality of the act creating tho com
mission. On Its constitutionality
also hinges much of the railroad legis
lation now pending. Tho action Is
simply a tost case, the attornoy gen
eral, as the relator, appearing In op
position to the enactment. Leading
lawyers of tho stato argued for the
commission. The railroad companies
made no appearance at the hearing.
