Tool * of ( he Iliillrondn. The agitation of the live stock matter has brought to light a number of very InterestIng - Ing detallb connected with the early his tory of the case , ell of which go to show that the members of the Board of Trans portation , as well as Ha secretaries , are and have neon tools of the railroads and that as ftuch they have not only done their bidding In Nebraska , but ha\c gone Into other terri tory to secure concessions In the matter of rates. The history of the Tibbies case dates back to the beginning of the campaign of 1897 , when the fusion leaders of Nebraska re solved that something of a sensational na- tnro would ha\o to be done If they were to rttaln control of the state government. The Idea uppermost In the minds of the calamity howlers and agitators was that fusion would succeed If the masses could bo made to bellevo that they were being lovvntrodden and oppressed by the corpora tion octopus. The scheme had worked suc cessfully In 1896 and tbe > taw no reason why It should not be used again with the same telling effect , notwithstanding the fact that even where the feeling of re stored confidence was manifest and people In general were beginning to realize the dnwn of prosperity In the employ of the populist state ccn- dal committee at the tlmo was the trusted T IL TlbblcH , husband of the famous "Bright Ejcs" from the Omaha Indian rcs- eivatlon , and to him was delegated the duty of prosecuting the railroads. Had not Mr. Tibbies subsequently aroused the lie of the sham reformers the scheme might have worked , but as It was absolutely noth ing was accomplished in the way of a re duction of railroad transportation rates , which had been asked for by the. paid cm- ploje of the populist committee. "Borao of us thought Tibbies was quite a fellow , " said a member of the board to- da > In speaking of the case. "There Is no use dealing the fact that he was hired to complain against the railroads for polit ical purposes I will plead guilty to that charge m > self and am willing to bear my portion of the blame. " Following out the mandate of the pop ulist committee , and oven the members and secretaries of the toard themselves , Mr. Tibbies filed an extended complaint against the jnllroads of Nebraska asking for a sweeping reduction of all railway freight rales The announcement was heralded broadcast over the stale by the populists that Iho Board of Transportation would bring the railroads to time and compel them to reduce their exorbitant freight rates. After notlco had been served on the com piles commanding them to appear and show cause why tbo request of Tibbies should not bo granted It was discovered that there > had been error In the proceedings and the hearing was postponed ten days. Tht railroads then appeared and asked for a dismissal of the complaint , alleging that according to the decision of the United States supreme court In the maximum rate inso It should bo unlawful to reduce rates lower than what they were at that time. Another continuance was granted , but In thi meantime the attorney general was sent to Washington , at the state's expense , to eecurn a modification of the decision The court then decided that rates could be re duced to the scale In effect In 180(5. ( ANNIIIIION SIM Ion * I'roiiorf Ion * , The Tlbblee case then began to assume rather serious proportions and for fear they would bo forced to order a reduction , the secretaries , with tbo consent of the board , allowed the matter to drop. No order was Issued compelling a reduction and the com plaint was never dlsmitecd. but otlll elands unheard In the Board of Transportation of fice. The present llvo stock rate case has been placed on thu record under the title of Tibbies against the Chicago , Burlington & Qulncy. et nl. notwithstanding Mr. Tlbblca ban not filed n complaint. It was during the sumo year that the rall- roadb adopted the per pound rate s > stem of charges on shipments of live slock This change wan made simultaneously In both Kansas und Nebraska. A howl went up in both states and the Kansas railway com mission ordried the railroads to rcetore the carload rates The matter vva then being agitated in Nebraska and n temporary order of a similar nature had been promulgated by the secretaries of the Nebraska board The Kansas commissioners showed no d' - position to > leld their position and after a btrong fight , which was carried on in the courts , the secretaries o : the Nebraska State Beard of TrJiuportatlon wont to TopeKa and tried to got the order rescinded Had they accomplished their purpose the tem porary order then In effect In this state would hnvo been rescinded < ind thu per pound rate eastern would have remained permanent so fur as the Board of Transpor tation was concerned , ( iovcrnor Leedy de nounced the Nebraska secretaries ns a gang of corrupt efflccholders and It Is generally believed and was at the time that they were acting us the ugents of the railroads when they attempted to have the Kansas order rescinded.
