Mr. Basils , the ticket agent tf th (
Burlington & Missouri River railroad
has boon before the ipccial railroac
committed at Lincoln and given hii
rbasonn why a throe cent per mile rati
would bo oppressive to the corpora
tion which employs him. Ho naji
that it costs the railroad nearly tha
aura to carry pi eengera , and that lh <
redaction from five to four cents i
inilo , which was made two years at < o
bas not rcoulted in corretpondlng in

Us threatens if the proposed reduotioi
it made by thu legislature , to decroai
transportation facilities and to shut ol

Nebraska , while ha intimates that th
directors tf the road will refuse t
permit further ijUeneioas , and wii
order the cancellation of nil specie
and half-fiuo permits.
If the 15. M. depended entirely on il
paneungur rocclptn to earn dividend
on its otock , there might bo noni
wcightinMr. Ejstis" arguments. 1h
facts of the C'MU are that the rccoipl

songor. On no other part of the 0
li. & Q. system are the freight chargi
as extortionate , and the Nebraska an
Colorado divisions have boon depone

dividend deficiencies on the line oai
of the MUsourl. In other worda , Ni
braska has boon taxed by taril
to which Illinois and Ion

because the Boston directors <
