LINCOLN. Nov. So. (Special.) Those
growling mortals who have been camp
ing on the trail of the Railway commis
sion and Insisting that Its scalp should
be removed should have been present
Saturday at the Interstate Coirmeroe
commission hearlngf at Sioux City, ac
cording to Secretary W'liitten of the Lin
coln Commercial club.
"They would have seen then what out
siders think the Nebraska commission
has been doing," said Mr. Whltten today
In -explanation. "There the commission
wa Mcoused of superactivity Instead of
the Inactivity which the growlers have
bee nkicking about."
The complaint was aired before an
Interstate Commerce commission exami
ner. It was aimed at the class freight
rate order which the Nebraska commit
sio nreeently promulgated and which
I gives Omaha and Lincoln and other Ne
braska Jobbing point a fair deal. The
Bloux City club maintains that the rate
are discriminatory. It asked the com
merce commission to Interfere, as It did
months ago In a southern state case and
In which It was upheld by the federal
supreme court. The Nebraska commis
sion maintains) that this Is a matter for
state action and not one in which the
Interstate body -may show a hand. De
spite the high Judicial decision the Ne
braska commission Intends to fight tha
affair to a conclusion and will present
some points which it Is confident were
not brought up when the matter waa orig
