Attorney Oeneral Thompson feels much enronrsaed, as does the State Railway commission refrardlna; the ahowlna they expect to make In the cases Involving the 2-rent fare law. the Aldrlch frelsTht rate r1nrtlon and the Slhley expreaa rats lawa, and the longer the hearing Is put off the better shape tha state will be In to make rood In Its case. For over a year the oom mlpslon has been retting- weekly station reports, made out by the station agents showing; the freight shipped In and out, the express sent In snd out and the ticket sales. These statistics are being compiled In the office of the State Railway com mission and the compilation shows a re markable Increase In the amount of reve nue paid to the corporations. Whether expenses here slso Increased In the same proportion of course the commission hag no way of knowing; except by the annual reports of the corporations. But the In oome of the rallroada and expreaa com panies the commission has first hand and the fact that the rallroada are offering reduced rates to Oroaaa, Lincoln and the! a'nio leir mi ooraraumion oeuevaa Is an other Indication that the S-oent fare rate has not Injured the railroads financially. Testimony In the oaeee Is to begin shortly before a referee appointed by the federal court. Drlnklasr on Trala. The State Railway commission and the attorney crenetal this morning dlscuased Informally the new law which alma to pre vent drinking and drunkenness on pas senger trains. Several cases have been reported to the legal department of per sons drinking liquor on trains and the attorney general believes It Is time for the State Railway commlenlon to get busy and enforce the law. The attorney general realizes that the teeth have been taken out of the law, leav ing It a hard matter for It to be enforced. Inasmuch as It provides a penalty only for the pernon who does the drinking and does not affect the railway official who per mits it. Pecause of the lameness of the law Mr. Thompson believes a consulta tion between the railway commission and the railroad officials will prove sufficient to have the practice stopped. The law provides that In case a person Is drinking on a passenger train he shall desist when told to do so by the conduc tor or the conduotor has a right to put him off the train at the next statlbn, after giving hjm a signed statement of the amount of unueed ticket he has In his possession. This statement enytleea the traveler to a ticket when presented at any office or the value called for. As the bill was originally drawn It pro vided a penalty foi the conductor who permitted drinking on a train, but this was amended, absolving the train crew from any responsibility. The lost case reported to the commis sion was of a passenger between Grand Island and Broken Bow who was caring for a case of beer. A citation for Connluloa Plaaa. Mayor Love, who has Just returned from vacation trip spent in Iowa, has an nounced himself for an early agitation In favor of a commission form of govern ment.
