On account of the position taken by somc of the councilmen and citizens of Broken Bow it1 regard to special rates required ! by the T'lephone ordinance , U1e same bei g claimed by thc Central - tral Telephone company to be illegal , Manager J. H. Currie. . wrote the State Railway Commission - mission and his claim is substantiated - tiated in the following reply : NmmAsKA S'l'A'l'n HAIIWAY C01\tl\nSsION. LU1coIn , .fan. 13 , 1908. I MR. J. II. CUlntm , Mg-r Cen. ' 1'elephone Co. , Broken Bow , Neb. DHAR Sm- : We have your favor of the 8th inst. , in which you make certain inquiries in regard to your authority under the law to make special ratcs for different classes of servicc. 'Replying to your first question , ' namely : "Can we make a man who wishes to use the system a great deal , a rate. by the year ? " we hav ( ' to say t \t it was formerly - erly the practice of the Nebraska 'l'elephone Company to sell coupons - pens representing $120.00 'worth of long' distance telephotle service for S100.00 in cash. On Octo.ber 7th , this telephone compau ) " admitted - mitted the matter of selling such . . coupons to this commission , wit.h' . . a request for a rulingas to whether or not the same was lawful. ' 1'he Commission referred the proposihon to the Attorney Geleral for an opinion , and on November 23d , his opinion was med in this office , in which hc held , " 1'hat a reduced rate cannot - not be made to depend upon the quanity of service contracted to be furnished , as in this case , without violating section 14 of the Railway Commission law , and the practice' named should be discontinued. " , At a meeting of the Commission - ; sion , held on December 6th , it 1 was decided to accept the opinion ; of the attorne ) general as the ruling of the Commission and that telephone companies doing business in this state , be advised in accordance therewith. In regard to your second inquiry - : quiry , namelv : IICan we make county officers a special toll rate per year , giving them the use of our whole s'stem to use when they please ? " we would say that section 14 of chapter 90 of the Nebraska Session Laws of 1907 c provides : n "If any Hailway Company or a Carricr subject to the provi ions t of this act , directly or indirectly , l' ' through or by 1tS agents , officers 0 or employees , by any special rate , a rebatc , drawback , or other device , SI shall charge , demand , coUect , or CI receive from any person , firm or d corporation , or greater or less b compensation for any servicQ a rendered , or to be rendered by it than it charges , demands , collects - a lects , or receives , from any ot er tl person , firm or corporation , for h doing a like and contemporaneous CI service , the same shaU constitute b I an unjust discrimination , which a : is hereby forbidden , and declared to be unlawful. " S ( The only exceptions to this tl provision found in are subdivision al ( g ) of the same section , which is f. as follows : n "Nothing in this act shall prest vent the carriage , storage , or f ( handling of freight free of charge al or at reduced rates , for the state , or tor any city , county , or t''wn U government , or for charitable tLJ purposes , or to nd hem fairs fil and expositions , for exlubition a thereat. " 01 It scems plain that while the oj general provisions of this law ht apply to telephone companies , BI which are included uuder the w term Ilcouunon carriers , " the exsa ceptions referred to , applj' only to the handling of freight , and N not to tclepl1.one . service. The al Commission herefore construes al the law to mean , that no specinl pr fare , rebatt ! , drawback , or charge of any kind , other than the reguw lar schedule on file ; ' 1 the oflice w : of the Hailway Commission , shall be conected or received from any percon : , firm or corporation , for se telephone service. Your third frl inquiry , as to whether you can se make a special toll rate of 30 CU cans for $1.00 per month , and ed whether ) ' 011 can uiake a discount Pi of a certain per cent on toll serJt1 vice , is answered in our repl to hi your first inquiry above. qu Yours very truly I wi CLARK PtnKINS , Sec'y. th . . . It Should Be Ross Hammond. 'l'he question of the appoint. ment of the collector of Internal Revenue apparently will be settled within the ncxt few da's. This appointment has been hanging - ing fire for several months simply because Senators Brown and Bur- kett have been unable to agree upon enc man. Mr. Brown has favored the appointment of W. B. Rose , ex-chairman of the Hepublican State Central Com- n1ittce , while Senator BurJeett has insisted that Hess Hammond , the old time and faithful editor of the Fremont ' 1'ribune , should have the placc. An arrangement has been made in which the mn.t- ter is to be settled by Nebrask's en tire delegation. ' 1'he applicant being fn vored by the majority is to be appointed. If Mr. Hammond's long and faithful service , together with his' ' high standing with the public , is taken into consideration in deciding - ciding the question , Mr. Ham- mund should and doubtlesS wiU be the man. ! The Junior Normal. A letter from State Supt. Mc- Brien announces the fonowing as instructor. ; in the Junior Normal the coming su.mmer : Dean Chas. li'ordyce , of the Nebraska Wesleyan University ; Prof. J. M. 1\1 cIndoo , Supt. of Broken Bow schoolsj Prof. E. Howe , City Supt. at Ord N\b. , \ : ; Prof. J. G. W. Lewis , of Grand [ sland College ; Prof. S. E. ! 'tHUs , City Supt. Ravenna , Neb. ; Miss Alice Burley , of Beatrice High Schoolj Prof. T.oren Cornett , of Custer oUegej Co. Supt. H. M. Pinckney. All of these were instructors ' [ n the Junior Normal last year with the exception of Prof. Mills md Prof. Cornett. Concerning the latter , our people are weIr lWa..rC of his ability as an in- , tructor. H win teach penman- . ; hip and book-keeping , for which lis experience and training have tted him most admil'ablr. Prof. Mills is the only one who ; omcs to us as a stranger , but lis work in Hig Schools and in nstitut'es in various parts of the tate has been so satisfactory hat there can he no doubt of his fficiency. Prof. Howe won the' respect , onfidence and esteem of all who lade his acquaintance last year , Dd it is a matter of congratula. ion that he is to return to us his year. The same can be said f Miss Burley , who captivated U the students under her in- truction. Her work for the oming term will be somewhat ifferent from that of last year , ut it win be no less satisfactory 1 ] nd profitable. Supt. McIndoo and Prof. Lewis c . re Iiour own , folks , " -and alJ lrough it is said that "a prophet ; without honor in his own I ountry , " that rule can scarcely J e applied to these two practical nd yet progressive teachers. f Concerning Dr. ! I'or yce , it is a : arcely worth while to say anyt ring-his ability , attainments I , nd efficiency are so widely and a . lvorably known that comment s pen them is superJ1uous. His t .anding is secure as one of the s > remost of school men in this or t1y other state. r , upt. McBrien also gives notice rat the Junior Normal Enter- linment Course will include one a rst cJass musical program , and lecture by Adrian Newens and b 1e by Frank H. Hoberson , both Ii these gentlemen have been a ard with delight by Broken t : ow audiences , and their retnrn B , iH be a real treat to all who are f I fortunate as to hear them. " 'raken all'together the Junior " ormal promise great things for II I the people of Custer county , HI cspeciaUy for prescnt and , 'ospective teachers. A More especial announcements \ \ iJ1 be made in the near future- g atch for them. \ \ II. M. PINCKNJtV. G In the foregoing the writer , it Jn ems , vcry modestly refrained om tossing any boquets to himC. . , If , yet is certainly entitled to H , lite a few and the Hm'uuLIcAN I.c itor will state that . : nckney's work in and for the GI lUior Normal last year was / } 11 ghly commended and all ac- ' , lainted with the gentleman R1 ill pe glad to know he is one of , lI' ' e faculty this year.
