RATE HEARING ADJOURNED
Commission to Take Up Matters Other
Than Distance Tariff in April.
BAILROAD 0ITICIALS ARE HEARD
State Anneals from Decision
of
District Court on the Sol
diers' Home Pension
y Matter.
(Prom a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. March 25. (Sneclal.)-The ra
hearing before the Railway commission
was adjourned this afternoon until April 27,
When topics other than distance tariff
rates will be discussed. Before the close
Commissioner Williams, who was presiding,
called for Representative P. A. Caldwell
of Clay county. He said Mr. Caldwell had
something more to say to the commission.
A search was made for Mr. Caldwell, and
when he was found In the corridors of the
state house he sent word that ho had
nothing more to say. He is said, to have
been much grieved at the spirit In which
he waa received the day before by railway
men and the commission when he spoke In
support of a petition for distance tariffs.
He told his friends that he had not been
given a fair hearing by the newspapers
and that he found the commission "cold."
Traffic Manager J. A. Munroe of the
Union Paclflo appeared before the commis
sion this forenoon In the role of general
advocate for all transportation lines doing
business In Nebraska and declared that
they are doing their best to serve the
people of the state fairly and without
favor. He spoke for nearly an hour, dis
claiming that the roads considered them
selves Immaculate or perfect, but asserting
that they wanted to help build up the state
and would do the best they could toward
that end.
Mr. Munroe took unqualified ground
against the proposed distance tariff, or
rates baaed uniformly on mileage, as all
the other railroad men and most of the
shippers' representatives at the- present
hearing have done. He argued for the
maintenance of existing commercial condi
tions and said the people of Nebraska are
not so much Interested In getting lower
rates as they axe In the Improvement of
railroad service, the building of better
depots and things of that kind.
Stnbbs on Rate Reduction.
The remarks of the Union Pacific traffic
manager were supplemented by a speech
from J. C. Stubbs, traffic director for all
the Harrlman lines, who took the ground
that Jobbing rates at the present time are
so arranged aa to-allow competition be
tween all distributing points for the trade
of the state. Stubbs declared that lower
rates do not as a rule benefit the consumer,
but that the difference Is generally ab
sorbed by middlemen In the handling of
commodities and manufactured articles.
One of the facts brought out during the
morning session was that In a good many
.... . i , ii
cases the Jobulng rates wnicn me i in
roads now have In effect are little If any
lower than the regular tariff under classi
fied schedules. This relevation came to
light after Traffic Manager Munroe had
stated that nine-tenths of all the freight
business Is moved on Jobbing rates and not
on the regular tariffs. Secretary Whitten
of tho Lincoln Commercial club showed
that the so-called Jobbing rate from Lin
coln to Friend, as one example, is Just the
same as the nominal tariff applying gen
erally throughout the state on shipments
handled for the samo distance.
Secretary J. F. Hanson of the Fremont
fiommerctal club was the first speaaer
heard from. He talked to the commission
and the "distinguished railroad representa
tives present" on the subject of overcharges.
which he said constitute the only particu
lar line of grievance that manufacturers
and shippers of this city complain of.
"I find that local officials have abundant
power to Incur overcharges, but when It
comes to correcting such charges they have
no authority whatever," Hanson said. "I
could cite cases where 'It has ..taken years
to get these matters taken up and settled.
Why should the railroads allow this sys
tem to continue? It Is not only inexcus
able; it's scandalous."
Sample of Fairness.
Protesting that he had a high regard for
railroad officlala generally, Hanson men
tioned reveral Instances where one-sided
treatment had been given with the knowl
edae of railroad managers. As an Illustra
tion, he said a Fremont manufacturer of
alfalfa stock food had been shipping under
a tariff governing alfalfa products until
he discovered that a competitor In Omaha
was "syruptltlously or . otherwise" shlp
ninir its mndi under the head of "mo-
lasses'1 at more favorable rates. This man
ufacturer had been put off time and again
when he endeavored to get a settlement
refunding the excess he had paid over the
molasses tariff,
The speaker declared his belief thst It
would be suicidal for Nebraska to adopt
a distance tariff, llthough there are In
equalities now, Hanson believed they could
be borne with better results than would
follow Jumping from the frying pan Into
the fire. Commissioner Williams asked
the Fremont man If he thought flexible
distance tariff might not be devised. Which
would preserve the present benefit and
at the same time assure fair tratment for
all points. Hanson's reply was that the
Fremont pobbers are sat'lsfied with the
adlustment as It now stands and do not
care to change.
After Hanson had finished talking. Gen
eral Freight Agent C. B. Spens of the Bur
lington railroad called on him to submit
papers In any claims which had been filed
for refund of overcharges, In order that
the responsibility might be located.
"We can't accept any general complaint
on such a matter, but must have specific
Information," said Spens.
"Well, some of our shippers have thought
that maybe the railroads need the money
and that by withholding repayment ot
overcharge claims for two or three years
they get. In the aggregate, a large amount
of working capital without any Interest,"
responded Hanson.
Commissioner Williams suggested that In
future any concrete case of the kind be
reported to the railway board, arid Hanson
promised to do so. He had merely called
attention to the evil, because he thought
the time and place afforded -a good op
portunity.
'Monroe Taken It Up.
The subject of overcharges was taken up
by Munroe at the outset of his speech. He
stated that all railroad managers are
anxious, to preserve the credit of their com
panies by making prompt settlement of
claims where they are Just. The Union
Pacific, he asserted, has been making
special effort along that line and of all
such claims filed In the last year or two
W per cent of those allowed have been
paid within thirty days from; the time of
their presentation. Sometimes the papers
go astray and other things will happen
to cause delay. This is especially true
where the quoted rate covers shipment over
rails belonging to one or more roads out
side Nebraska.
A suggestion was offered at this point
by Ben T. White, general attorney for the
Northwestern, thst there has been so much
rate legislation by the states and congress
In late years, with numerous orders by
railroad commissions thrown In aa to com
pucate matters a great seal and creats
much additional work for the accounting
department, where claims are considered.
Tsklng up the question of a distance
tariff, Munroe sal.l Iowa Is the only state
In the union which adheres to a hard and
fast rule that the maximum rate shall be
so much for every mile a shipment Is car
ried. Ha declared the effect of this to be
that all the traffic between Des-Moines
and Council Bluffs as a rase In point. Is
conceded to the Rock Island as the shortest
line. He thought that for short distances
mileage schedule waa proper, but not
on long-haul shipments.
Munroe mentioned the Omaha smelting
plant, the South Omaha stock yards and
the Omaha grain market as three Indus-
nes which had been created, fostered and
built up by favorable railroad rates.
"I am not aware of a single rate that Is
burdensome upon Nebraska shippers," wss
one of his sweeping declarations, "nor do
I know of one which taxes the traffic more
than It can properly bear."
The rate on California sugar which com
pels Grand Island to psy 3 cents per 100
pounds more than Omaha en a haul 150
miles shorter was defended by Munroe as
one of the conditions which preserves
equality between Jobbing renters. He ad
mitted that as times change It may be
come advisable to alter rates. In speak
ing of coal rates, he said the Union Pa
cific had Wyoming to take care of as well
as Nebraska, and that the tariff was ad-
Justed so that oal mined In Wyoming
would remain there. Nebraska people, he-
declared, - could get coal from other dis
tricts. Claim to Be Benefactors.
The Union Pacific reverted to the time
when Governor Thayer asked the railroads
of Nebraska to reduce grain rates, when
corn was selling at 10 cents, so that the
farmers could get 15 cents a bushel for corn
and be able to tide themselves over the
hard times. The roads, he said, came to the
rescue by cutting the rate between points
and Chicago from 33 to '28 cents. In the
same way, Munroe averred, ihe railroads
helped Nebraska by lowering the rate on
corn to Denver and the lntermountaln
country from 60 cents to 25 cents, thereby
creating a new market for the chief product
of this state. He thought the railroads
are entitled to some credit for the good
prices which farmers now get for their
grain.
"And railroads In Nebraska will be con
tent with an Interest return on their capi
tal far below what they realized In ordi
nary lines of business," Munroe stated.
I hope you will remember that every time
you take 1 cent off the rate on a staple
commodity It seriously diminishes the car
rier's revenue and does not benefit the con
sumer. Another, thing to bear In mind Is
that rates cannot be changed In one sec
tion without producing an Influence else
where. . Thus the rate from Duluth to
Helena, Mont., affects that between Den
ver and Salt Lake City, and any dis
turbance on the Canadian frontier might
be felt as far away as the gulf of Mexico."
P. A. Caldwell of Edgar Interrogated
Munroe on the point whether customer
would be able to buy cheapey when a rate
Is lowered. Munroe claimed7 that the sys
tem worked a good deal as the protective
tariff does In many cases the manufac
turer or Jobber pockets the difference and
the buyer pays the same price as before.
Clarke Cites Case In Folnt.
This led Commissioner Clarke to observe
thnt ainra the Aldrich bill reducing grain
rates on carload lots became effective, the
railway board had received complaints from
different points In Nebroska that buyers In
market cities were bidding higher for grain
and millers In this state are compelled to
r.v mo for It. while at the same time
they are not allowed any reduction for
flour shipped in less than . carload quan
tities. A, . , . . . .
nntntnlMlnnM- J. M. Guild of the Omaha
Commercial club said the business men of
his city were against a flat mileage tarltr.
He did not think the present rates are per
fect, and believed the commission ought
to revise them, but said the prosperity of
the railroads must be considered. If their
crpnwth In retarded, he said, that of the
state will be also. He conceded that dis
tance is a material factor, unless other
conditions enter Into the ratemaktng.
Where railroads Intersect one another, as
they do In Nebraska, he favored making
the rates flexible.

Similar to Smith ts. Ames.
"The ruling of the United States supreme

General Thompson today, "Is not materially

In the case of Smith against Ames, 169 U.

of the stockholders of the railroad company
against the attorney general of the state
of Nebraska, enjoining him from under

The attorney general assembled at St.
Louis In the latter part of September, 1907,
recognized the holding of the supreme
court In the Ames case and the possibility
that It would adhere to the ruling made
therein and adopted the following resolu
tion:
vmA hv the convention of attorneys
general of the aeveral states here assem
bled, That we earnestly recommend to the
favorable consideration of the president
and the congress of the United Slates tne
t f-H-al lflW nrnviHinff that
noercult court of the united eiaies or
onv iurisA exerclslna- the powers of such
circuit Judge shall have the Jurisdiction In
any case brought to restrain any officer
of a state or any administrative board of
t state from Instituting in a state court
ny suit or any other appropriate proceed
ings to enforce the laws of such state, or
to enforce any order made by such admin
istrative board, but allowing any person,
or corporation asserting In any such action
in a state court any right arising under
the constitution or any law of the nl'lted
States to have the decision of the highest
court of the state reviewed by the supreme
court of the United States, as now pro
vided by law. We also recommend that
suits In federal courts Instituted by per
sons Interested In corporations to restrain
such corporations from obeying the law of
the state in which they are doing business
be prohibited."
The recent ruling In the Minnesota case
emphasises the wisdom of the resolution
passed by the convention of attorneys gen
eral and tho necessity of congress to enact
a statute In conformity therewith. There Is
no constitutional Impediment to the enact
ment of such a statue since he federal
cours Inferior to tne tiniiea Diaies su

their Jurisdiction and authority may be
limited and controlled by that body. In
my Judgment the vexation produced by the
granting of Injunctions against state offi

on an ex parte showing, may be effectively
removed without Injury to the rights of
