R. B. HOWELL GIVES
OUT A STATEMENT
Says Election Majority Not A Per
sonal Victory.
United States Senator-elect R. B.
Howell gave out the following state
ment a tew days ago:
“The large majority afforded me in
the recent election was in no sense a
personal victory’. It was an economic
expression in no uncertain terms.
‘‘The people of Nebraska have ever
indicated their conservatism, yet they
insist on moving forward—tot back
ward. They look upon the continued
development of monopoly as the most
serious menace to the economic situa
tion.
“This fact has been particularly im
pressed by the enactment of the Esch
Cummins law, which has practically
developed the railroad industry’ into a
government protected private mo
nopoly. They have lost faith in the
two present accepted methods of mo
nopoly control, punitive laws, and
legal regulation, and are groping for
some other remedy.
“The people of Nebraska are also
demanding more insistently than ever
before that private business methods
be employed in the conduct of public
affairs. There has been a sort of re
vulsion against idealism in public bus
iness, as exemplified in the handling
of the $10,000,000,000 loan to gurope.
“In view of what has been accom
plished in Omaha in the conduct of the
public water, ice and gas plants, the
people have evidently concluded that
they would welcome an attempt to
apply some of the principles success
fully utilized there in a oroader way,
as for instance, ‘public competition’ for
the curbing of monopoly where other
methods continued to fail.
“These are the considerations, in my
opinion, that caused the remarkable
majorities in the recent election. Mr.
Bryan, democratic candidate for gov
ernor, has advocated similar ideas.”
PROPOSED MERGER TO
INSURE A CROSSING
(Cedar County Nwes.)
Should the proposed railroad merg
ers, now under consideration by the
government, be carried to comfpletion,
at least one railroad will cross the
big Meridian Highway bridge at Yank
ton. Officials of the bridge company
were given that assurance when they
visited the leading officers of the Great
Northern railway company at St. Pau’
last week.
There are at present about twenty
mergers of big railway systems be
ing considered by the government. If
the Great Northern Burlington merger
goes through, about 300 miles of road
will be built between Plainview and
Yankton. O’Neill and Thedford, and
Mullen and Sidney, and this road will
cross the Yankton bridge. Such a road
would provide a main line from the
Twin Cities to Denver, which would
be 120 miles shorter than any other
I route now operating.
Mergers seem to be the only ob
I stacle which prevents several rail
| roads from making plans now to use
! the bridge. Besides the Great North
| ern-Burlington merger, others are
planned between the Milwaukee and
Union Pacific, and the Northwestern
and Omaha lines. Should they go
through, it would mean that at least
two of these lines Would use the

The government will hold a ifiairt
hearing on all the mergers at Wash
ington on November 17. After that
meeting, members of the Interstate
Commerce commission and of the rail
road boards will visit towns which
would be affected by the mergers, and
get public opinion on the matter. As
many people as can possibly attend
are urged to attend these meetings,
one of which will be held at Yankton
and another at O’Neill, dates to be an
nounced later.
