i LINCOLN, Jan. 10.-Bpelal Telegram.)
Before the State Railway eommlMlon Tues
ds Attorneys Charlee S. Elgutter, for the
lorenca Lumber and Coal company and
the Kata-Cralg Construction company, and
C. C. Wright, for the Omaha road,
will presnt oral argument! on the
petitions of the Omaha shippers which In
volve the question aa to whether the eom
mlMlon, haa the power to grant reparation
to shippers overcharged or who have been
paying ratea established under proteat and
collected until deolared unreasonable and
excessive.
- Both In railroad circle and among; ship
pers the question of reparation Is attracting
unusual attention and the Internet In the
case and the brie fa filed by attorneys Is
keen, as It will settle for all time the ques
tion of certain powers of the commliulon.
' Through their attorney, Mr. Elgutter, the
Samuel Kats and Oeorge W. Craig- Con
struction company asks that the old rate
of 15 per car for moving crushed atone, sand
and like materials be restored, and also
that some 13,293 paid in oh&rgae under the
tuw schedule of rates be rerunded. The
Florence Lumber and Coal company not
only wants the old rate of $ per car re
stored, but wants the Omaha road to re
fund 1716 with interest, paid under the new
schedule of rates.
' 'New la Nebraska.
In Nebraska at loast the case Is a new
one and the commission Is not only asked
to make the order Instructing the railroad
company to refund the money paid under
a new schedule of rates, but In so doing- to
acknowledge Its right to make and enforce
such an order when shippers are placed
In auch a position as the two Florence
firms.
Thus the oaae takea on a dual character
and the commission must decide first what
rates shall be effective on lumber, crushed
tone, sand, Ice, coal and materials of like
Class In the future, and, second, whether
the commission has the power and author
ity to consider the question of reparation.
Mr. Wright declares the contention of th
Attorney for the plaintiff that the com--nlsBlon
has power to make an order of
reparation Is not only "novel, but upon ex
amination will be found to be revolutionary
In Its effect." He maintains that the rail
way commission of Nebraska has no such
rights, that the constitutional provision cre
ating the commission did not contemplate
such power being vested In the commission.
that the Interstate Commerce commission
does not possess such power, and If the
Nebraska Hallway commission could make
an order of reparation It would at onoe
take the authority nut nf th. h.n1.
courts, which, he maintains, are the only
bodies authorized to make such orders; and
the state never contemplated giving th
railway commission the light to exercise
the functions of a court. He sava th
Kats-Cralg company la simply seeking to
use th railway commission Instead of the
courts to get a Judgmeqt against a rail
way company.
' Both briefs are literature to the railway
met and shippers, Attorney Elgutter filing
one In reply on the question of reparation,
which Is considered a bit "spicy."
"The people created the Nebraska State
Railway commission," argues Mr. KJgutUr.
"It; la establiahed and Its powers are de
fined by the constitution of th state. It
is not like many state commission,' the
creation qf the legislature; nor Is It Ilk
th' Interstate Commerce commission, the
child of congress."
From this the attorney for th complain
ants argues that In the absence of .specific
legislation' th commission' shall exercise
the powers and perform the duties enu
merated In the constitutional amendment
provision, and among these powers, duties
and general control, he claims. Is th power
to award reparation to a ahlpper far the
payment to a railroad of an excessive
freight rate, as asked for In tbeae cases.
He admits no order of the commission can
be enforced except by th Judgment of a
court; th defendant need have no qualms
that, the judicial power of th state has
