Nebraska Supreme Court Backs Rail Way Amendment
The Nebraska Supreme Court sustained the constitutional amendment creating an elective railway commission. It ruled the publication notice sufficient, state officers can be elected the same election the amendment is submitted, straight party vote counting is legal for parties with endorsed conventions, and the entire amendment need not appear on the official ballot. The decision favored the people against Attorney General Thompson. Railroads did not intervene, preferring a commission over a biennial legislature for rate control.
