Two-Cent Suit Up In June Before Leavenworth Judge
The two-cent passenger fare suit of the railroads against the board of railroad commissioners will be heard in June before Judge John C. Pollock in Leavenworth. The Atchison Topeka Santa Fe and other railroads say the state demurrer to their petition should be argued at that time as they challenge the board’s order retaining the rate until Nebraska suits are decided. The state contends the demurrer concerns the rate’s reasonableness, not its validity in the current case.
