As there was no evidence as to theé practical operation of this regulation upon shippers of cattle, and as it appeared that it could be obeyed without embarrassment or unnecessary delay, the court could not assume arbitrarily that it was wholly with- out authority or_that it unduly burdened the exercise of the privilege of those en- gaging in Interstale commerce. Law: Not Prohibitory. He continued: As the statute does not forbid the intro- duction of all live stock coming from the defined territory, but only prescribes cer- tain methods of protection, and as those methods have been devised by the state under its reserved power to protect the property of its people from injury and do 1oL appear upon their face to be unreason- able, we must, th the absence of evidence to the contrary, assume that they are ap- ropriate to the object which. the state $ entitled to accomplis!

He then read ordimances granting a frads chise to a'motor company which provided that it should conform to changed’ grades. When pressed he was forced to'admit that it was a franchise granted to the Omahk Motor and Railway company, a corporation which does not now exist, His hext refer- ence was“to a franchise granted to a gas company which has also gone out of 'busf- ness.

Calls were made for Herman Kountse, and in respomse he said that he had not read the ordinance nor dfd he kmow the reason they were not granted; that Mr. Rosewater said that he did not want an exculsive right and would give cheaper power. If the facts were as he understood Mr. Kountze did not see why the franchise should not be consldered by the peoplo. J. Frank Carpenter, president of the Commercial elub, #ald: “It may be that the Rosewater plan is best; it may ‘be that the electric Iight company'or Mr. Riley might have a better plan. As far as 1 am concerned, as far as the club is con- cerned, what we want is a proper ordi- nance.” Euclid Martin said that Mr. Kountze had expressed his idea, and that at the meeting of " the Commercial club he said that ‘before the club acted it should have iscussed the matter fully with interested partles,, J.

Riley..said that, Mr. Rosewater's. engl- neers had been paid by the city, and one of the engineers emphatically denied the truth of the statement. Mr. Rosewater started to talk, but was interrupted by the chairman, who said that he was willing to be guided by the recommendations of , the Commerclal club after the matter has been considered by that body fully, 2 Fremont Company's Trouble.

They were well satis- fled with the Loup river and recommendéd the plan. The canal would have been able to come to terms with the Omaha com- panies.” Mr, Lobeck said that when the Thomson- Houston company wanted subways last spring the people were forgotten. Mr. Rosewater reminded the audience that there 18 room enough here for a thou- eand subways. In Cleveland and in Paris | the subways are under the sidewalks. “Every report I ever made to the council was in favor of municipal subways. I'am willing to pay rental for city subways. but 1 don't like to see a forelgn question brotight in to knock down the main propo- sition.” Mr. Lobeck continued by saying that the Thomson-Houston company was given a tranchise by Judge Keysor; that Mr. Rose- water's ordinance is the best proposition so far proposed and the people should be glven a chance to vote on' it. (Cheers.) He then sald that the amendment to the Rosewater ordinance he womld propose would be ® percentage on the gross earn- ings, rather than a fixed sum to be paid the city.
