strued togothor. Ho said: "Under the
law, in this state a ralroad company
or other common carrier may not ox
chnngo transportation for services or
property by way ot barter, uniformity
of chnrgo being required. To procuro
uniformity thero must bo a standard
measurement. Tho only standard
measuro posslblo In order to Insure
nbsolutc uniformity In tho chnrgo Is
money.
"A contract which provides for
transportation to bo tssuod in ex
change for newspaper advertising or
for services tho vnluo of which Is In
determinate nnd which permits tho
amount to bo paid for such services
to bo flxod by agreement of tho
partlos, leaves tho rato charged for
tlio transportation a varlablo quantity.
"A contract by a railroad company
to furnish to tho proprietors of a

tion nt tho statutory rato under cer

for advertising to bo furnshed nt
ngreod rates, which agreed ratos are
not spoclllod in tho contract, but
which nro to bo selected by tho
parties themsolvos, by another agree
ment, In In violation of section 11 of
tho Railway Commission act. Section
10C02, nmondod statuo 1009, which
prohibits common carriers from
charging one person a gronter or less
compensation than another, nnd
which prohibits charging "other than
tho rato fixed, nnd established."
"If tho proprietor or another news
paper may bo selected by dcrendant
to rccclvo transportation In roturn for
such services while the proprietor of
nnother cannot avail himself nt his
option of the prlvllcgo or such con
tract, then, equality and uniformity of
chnrgo do not exist.
"Such a contract contravenes tho
intent and purposo of tho statutes,
which prohibits unjust discrimination
nnd which seek to prcservo to every
individual an equal right to the trans
portation service of every common
cnrrlcr within the state upon equal
terms with every other Individual."

Work Done at the North Platte Sub
Station.
Tho Nobraska Experiment Station
has issued Bulletin No. 114, on Stor
ing Molsturo iu tho Sod. This bulle
tin Is a report of work dono at tho
Experimental Substation located ut
North Platte.
This bulletin takes up the necessity
of storing water In tho soil during
periods or wet weather to bo used
during periods or drouth. A short de
scription Is given of tho typo or soil
found on the Substation farm, tho
manner or sampling, and the depth of
sampling. Somo samples wero taken
to a depth of 15 feet In order to reach
a point below which the crops could
not obtain wnter.
A map Is given showing tho divi
sion of tho rami Into fields and also
one showing tho sod areas of tho
state. A brier discussion or tlio move
ments or the water found in tho soil
is also given.
Tho charts show that water Is con
served in tho soil through cultivation
and that It Is necessary to keep tho
surface or tho soli looso and in u re
ceptive condition to got tho water
into tho soil. Almo3t ns much water
is gotten into tho soil during tho
early pait or tho season whero a cul
tivated crop H being grown as is con
served by summer tillage. This Is duo
to the fnct that tho surface soil is
kept looso enough to hold tho wnter
that falls until It can got down Into
tho soil, nnd tho loose sod on the
surfaco prevents evaporation; It Is
also duo to tho fnct that comparative
ly fow plants nro being grown In a
cultivated field nnd thoso do not draw
very heavily on the water supply dur
ing the early part of their growth.
In a small grain field more plants
are grown, with tho result that tho
water Is used moro rapidly and less
water Is gotten Into the soil. In fields
growing nlfalfa or bromo grass where
the number ot growing plants aro
lnrgo and tho surface of tho sod Is
smooth and hard, it Is seldom that
enough wuter gets Into tho sod to
moisten tho sod below two or threo
root. By tho method or summer till
ing practiced, from 40 to 50 per cent
of tho season's rainfall has been
stored for tho use of tho subsequent
crop. On this typo or soil tho water
Is nvadablo for tho crop.
Several charts and tnblos nre given
In tho bulletin, to show tho amount
or precipitation at North Plntto. Ono
tablo given shows tho dally precipita
tion during tho period that this work
was being dono. Charts showing tho
annual precipitation and tho average
precipitation by months aro also
given.
Tl'to bulletin may bo had free ot
cost by residents of Nebraska upon
application to tho Nebraska Agri
cultural Experiment Station, Llncola

PEN8IVE PROPOSITION.
IS STARTLING, SAYS A SENATOR
Moro Money Expended on Soldiers
and Sailors Than for Main
taining Civil Establish
ments of Government
Washington Military estnbllshmens
in the United States Is a startling ex
pensive proposition, according to fig
ures compiled by Senator Clay of
Georgia In support of his argument
that the tlmo has arrived when tho
government must cut down Its ex
penditures for tho upbuilding of the
nrmy nnd navy. Senator Clay declares
that tho sums expended for the army
any navy aro far In excess of the
money expended by tho government
for maintaining the civil establish
ment. Since 1897. according to Sana
tory Clay, tho government has ex
pended $173,755,513 for rural free de
livery; for livers and harbors, $29G,
075,191, nnd for public buildings and
grounds, $128,172,107. The total ex
penditure for the navy since 1S97, ac
cording to tho compilation prepared
by Senator Clay has been $1,120,210,
193, nnd the money spent on the nrmy
from tho same period amounted to $1,
041.101.1S8. Pensions paid to civil war veterans
slnco 1897 amount to $2,020,199,710,
tho average annual expenditure since
1897 being about $100.90S.OOO.
Senator Clay asserts that If tho ap
propriation bills continue to mount up
ns they have been at this session of
congress the expenditures this year
will not only bo greater than ever bo
foro but they will exceed any other
year by $30,000,000.
