Ratlronds Get What They Want. “The rallroads have got all they want from this leglelature,” sald Senator King in discussing a report of the committee on railroads on the oil Tate bill. “The rallroad committee has not fnjured them any and has done nothing that will affoct them. "The measure was reported from the com- mittee with a number of amendments the framers of the bill, but not the introducer, Wilsen of Polk, considered destructive of the real intent of the easure. The bill was intemded to permit the shipment of kero- sene no matter whether in carlots from the southern states at such a freight rate that the oil could be brought into competition here with the Standard Oll company prod- uets. But the bill was amended to pro vide that only crude ofl and residuum oil for fuel purposes could be brought to Ne- braska under the rates provided and then in carlots, the rates on these classes alone being lowered to the point of competition. The Stundard Ofl company controls all the tank cars and the greater part of the out- put of the class of oil on which the freight was lowered, according to the statement of the sponsors of the bill and while the bill originally provided for competition, the bill will not actually permit any change in conditions as they now exist When Benator King reglstered his objec- tion, Senator Ollls, chalrman of the raii- road committee, made a formal protost, but made no attempt to argue the question merely declaring the comittee had done what it wanted to do.
