CLARKE REPLIES
TO WILSON CHARGE
Chairman of State Railway
Commission Issues State
ment After Attack.
HE GOES INTO DETAILS
(Prom a Stalt Correeponoent.)
Lincoln, July 28.-(Special.) For
a long time members of the. State
Railway commission have submitted
in silence to attacks, simply going
ahead and doing their duty as they
saw it
However, since the advent of Vic
tor Wilson into the campaign as the
democratic candidate for the place of
Chairman Henry T. Clarke on the
commission, the attacks of that gen
tleman have been so unfair that Mr.
Clarke today issued a scorching an
swer, in part as follows:
. "While two of the members of the
commission and its accountant, Mr.
Powell, were in Omaha last week
defending the 2-cent fare'law against
attack by the Missouri Pacific, Victor
Wilson called at the department for
the alleged purpose of securing in
formation concerning the financial
rnnHttinn of the Lincoln Telephone
and Telegraph company. In the in
evitable newspaper statement which
followed his two-hour 'investigation
of the secords he denounces the com-
malarf mtniatratinn.
niiHlun ,ui giwM -
Hi. ri.Hurtinns and statements are
so sensational and so far wide of the
facta that they smack strongly of,a
purpose to appeal aireetiy to me pre
nf the teleohone users of Lin'
coin. With the real facts the public
may judge of the morals of a man,
even though-he is a candidate for
office, who will promulgate warped
and perverted assertions on a mar
ter of such vital importance. '
V Monthly Reporta Filed. V
- "Monthly rtoorts showing the de
tails of revenues and expenses have
been filed by the company since Jul)
1, 1914. Mr. Wilson examined these
reports and one of his charges is that
-the commission has never summarized
them to determine what effect the
new rates have had. A clerk, who
had no information to the contrary,
advised Mr. Wilson that no such
ammarv had been made. Had Mr.
Wilson called when Mr, Powell was
present he. would have found that
such a summary had been made and
that less than two months ago.
"Next, Mr. Wilson asserts that the
present value of $101 per station, as
found1 bv the commission, is excess
ivtly high, and to prove it makeo
comparison with other valuations
made bv the commission in Folk and
York counties and with the averase
valuation of the property of the Ne
braska Teleohone company. - sucn
comparisons are obviously unfair, for
the reason that the orooerties in Folk
and York counties are of a decidedly
different type of construction. The
equipment in Lincoln is automatic
and costs from JO to 35 per cent more
than manual; There is also in Lin
coln' highly expensive underground
construction. . . . , 6 .
Who Proposed Lawf
"Mr. Wilson appropriates every
dollar of the toll revenue collected in
Lincoln, amounting to about $95,000 a
year, notwithstanding the legislature
of 1913 passed a law providing that
a telephone exchange is entitled to
but 15 per cent on out-going messages
and 10 per cent on in-coming' mes
sages. This law, by the way, was
proposed by an Independent tele
phone man who was a member of
the -House and was passed by the
Democratic legislature. Under the
terms of that law. the Lincoln ex
change it entitled to less than $25,00
from toll. Nor, is this all. The val
ue of the toll property is not included
in the valuation used by Mr. Wilson,
his statement to-the contrary notwith
standing. Worse yet, the expenses
reported by the Company do not in
clude the money expended for toll
maintenance. So we find that Mh.
Wilson's calculation claims all of the
toll receipts collected in Lincoln with
out taking into consideration the toll
property that produces the revenue,
and at the sametime excludes a very
considerable portion of the toll ex
penses. -
"In its exhaustive analysis of the
reports the Commission took these
matters into consideration, as well as
a number of others which we have
not the space to discuss. This sum
mary shows that the average net
earning of the company for the thirty-
months' period was 5.68 per cent of
the valuation used by Mr. Wilson, al
lowing; 9 ner cent for maintenance
and depreciation. If an 8 per cent
allowance for maintenance and depre
ciation is used the net earning would
be 7.05 per cent, whereas, if the actual
expenditures for current maintenance
and realised depreciation, as shown
by the records and carefully checked
by Mr. Powell, amounting to 8.37 per
cent, are eccepted, the net earning is
but 6.5 per cent. Upon such a show
ing' the Commission decided that it
was unnecessary to make a further
investigation at this time. It is the
purpose, however,, to analyze the re
ports from tune to time and of oper
ating conditions change so that the
net revenue increases, the company
will be required to show cause why
its rates should not be reduced.
: Much Misunderstanding.
: : "There has been a deal ot mis
understanding concerning the- Lin
coln teleohone situation, and a persis
tent campaign by unscrupulous 'agi
tators has done mucn to deceive a
lane .number of teleohone users into
believing that theyare paying excess
ive and unjust rates. People in Lin
coln are aot paying rates higher than
are paid m other American cities.
That fact .of itself merits emphasis
- and . should he remembered . b v those
who are approached' by self-seeking
politicians who by half-truths and ill
digested figures try to impeach the in
tegrity and judgment oi toe von
mission.' The' everaie' reveooe Ber
subscriber's instrument is but til6
per .'month. Mr. Wilson ia challea
enged to compare. that average with
with the average revenue of compan
ies operating m fether cities of Lin-

Storm Turns Water
From Ditch Into
North Platte Eiver
Lincoln. July 28. A cloudburst
near the Nebraska-Wyoming line has
at least temporarily relieved irriga
tionists and water power patrons
along the Platte river. The cloud
burst damaged a government canal,
which crossed into Nebraska from
Wyoming, in such a way as to allow
1,500 cubic feet of water a second,
that was going into the canal, to go
into the North Platte river. The sup
ply is enough for all irrigattonists, it
is said, and also the Kearney Water
Power company, which had com
plained of shortage.

'. Ravenna to Grand Island
Ravenna, Neh July 28. (Special.)
Two young farmers, living south of
town, Charles Wallace and John

speed of their touring cars, and the

occurred in Lincoln last night when

gathered before the officers arrived.

jumped off in front of the car driven
by Fisher. At first it was not real

having an increased train service on
the Crete branch of the Missouri Pa
cific, gathered in the hearing; room
of the state railway commission to
day to press, their claims in tavor o:
the service alleged to be needed.
Thev claim that if the road would
put on another train each way which
would make connection at Hickman
with the Burlington in and out of
Lincoln, that there would be more
travel on the road and that passen
gers would not be compelled to spend
so much time in making a trip -to
Lincoln. .
The mad now runs a tram each
way, and being a mixed affair its com
ing and going is somewhat uncertain
and of much inconvenience. On the
other hand the road complains that
the busmess is not sufficient to war
rant an entirely passenger wain, f
