reprc scntativcg , hy a votc of 3.lfJ
tc ? 7. passed thc I cpbl1rn .l { ' ' rate
bllt. ' 1'hosc vet In go aga 111st thc
bill wcrc : T4ittlcl ed ] , McCall ,
Pcrkins , Siblc ) ' , Southwick ,
Vrecland and \Veels , castcrn re-
publicans.
'rhc 1 > 111 , according to Mr.
Hepburn's statcmcnt in closing
thc debatc on thc mcasure , was
intcndcd and dic1 , so far as it
could bc made , hc gaid , com pI ) '
spccificatly with thc rccoll1-
mcndatio s of Prcsidcnt I oosc-
vclt on thc ratc qucstion. It
gives thc Intcrstatc Commerce
commission authority , whcn a
ratc has bccn complained of as
"unrcasonablc" by a shippcr to
in\'estigatc that rate , say whcther
or not it is rcasonablc , and if I
found to unrcasonablc : to name I
a ratc , which i to be thc maximum - .
mum ratc to bc chargcd.
'l'his ratc so fixcd is to go into
effcct thirty days after it is an-
nounccd by thc commi8 ion 8ub-
ject during that timc to bc sct
'asidc or suspended by thc commission -
mission or by the courts. Aftcr
it has gonc into cffcct it is to rc-
main tbc ratc for thrcc ycars.
During tlJis timc thc opinion has
bccn exprcsscd by thosc who
havc participated in'thc dcbate ,
thc ratc may also bc rcvicwcd by
thc c urts , and if found to hc in
conltict eithcr with thc terms of
the act or with t hc constitution ,
by being confiscatory , it can bc
set asidc by thc co urts ,
Anothcr important fcaturc is
thc c1efinition of thc word "rail-
road" and "transportation" in a
manncr to includc a11 auxiliary
instrumcntalitics of the common
carricr and to bring thcm within
t hc con trol of thc commission.
This power to namc a reasonable
ratc and the inclusion of the
commission arc saic1 to bc thc
new fcaturcs. All othcr provisions -
sions arc mod i fications of cxisti ng-
taw. 'rhey includc publicity of
raitroad mcthods , which is to bc
aidcd by presrib1ng a system of
uooldcepulg and cnlarging the
commission to sevcn mcmbcrs
and incrcasing thc salarics of
mcmbcrs to $10,000 a year.
'l'he Omaha Bec says : " ' [ 'hc
mcasurc passcd is thc rcsult of
careful dclihcration - and was
thoroughly discusscd. It was
framcd to mcct thc \'icws and
recomt1lcndations of Pr.csidcnt
looscvctt and is cntircly acccpt-
ahlc to him. It was unanimously
approved by thc hou8c committec
on interstatc and forcign com-
mercc. Of thc scvcn republicans
who votcd against the bill ome
are probably opposcd to any ratc
rCKuation ) , whitc othcrs simply
ohjcctcdto certain provisions of
the Hcpburn mca8ure. 'l'hey
will havc an opportunity ncxt
fatl to explain to their constitu-
cnts the reasons for thcir action.
"Intest in thc mattcr witt
now centcr on thc senate. au
thc 1Ith thc committcc on intcr-
statc commcrce of that body witt
dccidc as to which enc of the
scvcra ] bills it has undcr consideration -
sideration shall lIc rcportcd to
the scnate. 'l'hc general opiniol1
is that a mcasurc csscntial the
same as the housc bill witt bc rc-
ported and that after proongcd ]
. discussion will bc passcd. It h
. undcrstood to bc thc scntimcn1
: ill thc housc to adhcrc firmly to

Editor l nI'UBT.lcAN :
'I'he sma11 cattlc raiscrs of Ne

very much maligned and misrcp

But thcre is anothcr side , and th ,

wouldlhc mighty glad to'sccthcir :
sidc pf thc mattcr printed.
Without spcaldug- thc man ) '
years which most of us havc Hpent
on our sdnd hill ranchcsi years of
ha1'llshilS ) for oursch'es and our
families , we will say that it is
g'cncralty known and understood
throughout Nebraslm , anyway ,
thnt thc sand hitt country , and
thc largcr part of wcstcrn Nc-
braslm in g-cncral , is NO'I' a fal'm-
ing lanrl , hut is csscntial1y a grazing -
ing country. 1 t is g-cncrny ] !
known and unrlerstuocl that 111 I
that country it l'cquircs 20 acres j
for cvcf ) ' hcad of stock to grazc I
upon , and tlH\t enc who dc\'otcs ! i
his timc to farming alone , stanrls
mightly littlc chnnce of g'ctting
cnough to cat.
Wc arc. not dcfcnrling the cat-
tlemcn for fcncing thc rangcs ,
although , vc bciic\'c thcy had
good reasons for doing so : 'I'hc
greatcr I portion of thc rang'c
was fcnced , not by thc larg-c cat-
tlc raiscrs , but by the small oncs.
It is also true that thcsc fcnccs
arc < \11 now cit hcr rcmovcd , or. : m !
being rcmoyccl rapidly ,
But in removing thcsc fcnccs
thc small cattlc man sccs ruin
staring him in thc facc. I t is
thc gl'catest mcnace which has
cvcr threatcncd thc li\'c stoc ] (
industry of Ncbraska. 'l'hc situation -
ation 'is indccd diffcrcnt from that
11othcr states whcl'C thc land
can .bc used fur farming- , but in
thc. and hitts , whcrc thcrc can
I bc' nothing but gra ng , thc rc-
moval : of ihc fcnccs will , in thc
opini n of thc smallcattlc raiscrs ,
simpl forcc thcm out of busincss.
At thc samc time thc cattlc
raisc1 ; . lwow that it is impossiblc
to < tpntinuc unc1cr thc prcscnt
syst 1n , and all arc in favor of
somc kind of a lcasing bitt. Almost -
most to a man , thc small cattlc
raiscrs of thc statc will support
Prcsidcnt Hooscvclt in any kind
of a leasing proposition \\fJdch
will immrc thc stabilit ) ' of thc
business. They arc witling to
pay for thc use of the rangc , and
lhcy call attcntion to thc fact
that thc statc of Ncbraslm has
no troubc ] fcasing thc school
lands and making moncy from
thCIP , whilc t.1C governmcnt gcts
not a ccnt , at prcscnt from thc
school domains. 'l'bc homcstead
law was good. but it was mude
for a farming country. Lct somc
kind of a leasing law be ma.lc
cspcdal1y for this gra ng count-
ry-and let it bc madc , not by thc
politicians , but 1 > \ ' business mcn.
It can bc madc nrl carricd out
under the supersion of thc land
dcpartment 01 tHc govcrnmcnt ,
which dcpartmcnt can scc that
its tencnts arc strictI } ' adhcred
