THE 2TE2BASEA CLUB.
The following preamble and reso
lutions fully explain themselves:
Whereas, The immigration of
good citizens into Nebraska should
be encouraged.
Whereas, Having in the eastern
part of our great state, a territory
capable of supporting many times
its present population, and the
middle and western, under irri "ra
tion systems, both completed and
in process of construction, thous
ands of acres of as fertile, product
ive soil as may be found anywhere
in the world, one of Nebraska's
greatest needs now is a more rapid
ly increasing population
Whereas. An increase in immi
gration, more particularly upon
our agricultural lands, would result
in (first) an increased trade in the
commodities handled by the jobbers
and retail merchants of the state;
(second) an increased consumption
fo the products ot our home manu
facturers;(third)the employment of
idle labor and renewed activity in
all the avenues of business and the
professions; (fourth) an increase in
the valuation of our farm landr city
realty and other taxable property,
thereby producing a higher general
average of prosperity to all our peo
ple now here and to come. And
Whereas, There already exists
among the people of the state, need
ing only to be crystallized and or
ganized in order to become a live
working factor in the general ad
vancement of the interests of the
state, a sentiment strongly in favor
of pushing Nebraska to the front
in an honest earnest and effective
manner, tnererore with an abiding-
faith in the great resources
of our
state and fullest confidence in the
integrity of its citizens, be it
Resolved, That we the under
signed, and others who shall here
after join with us, hereby agree to
associate ourselves tog-ether and
organize an association to be known
as The Million Club of Nebraska,
tor the general purpose of securing
the co-operation of all classes of
people throughout the state in a
systematic effort to promote immi
gration of good citizens and add to
the population of the state by the
year A- D. 1900 one million immi
grants, 'being good settlers from
other states and countries.
The capital stock of the club is
to be two hundred thousand dollars
divided into shares ot one dollar
each, in substance a popular sub
scription in which the subscribers
have the management of affairs and
have the direction of the work.
The announcement is made by
the Union Pacific bondholders' re
organization committee that it has
secured the deposit of a majority
of all the outstanding bonds of the
Union Pacific lines and is in a posi
tion to push the foreclosure pro-
ceedings on the
first mortgage to
an early hearing.
This means that
if the government does not act the
first mortgage bondholders will at
tempt to do so. The purpose of the
committee is no doubt to bring
pressure to bear at Washington in
behalf of its funding scheme, for
whose passage we may soon expect
to see the reorganization syndicate
moving heaven and earth. In the
interval the people residing in the
states traversed by the Pacific
roads and most vitally interested in
the debt settlement should lose no
time to make themselves heard on
the subject Bee.
