An Ice plant for Hattsmouth looks

The man who builds It will make
himself a tidy sum and confer a last

The building of ap lnterurban be
tween Plattsmouth and the towns of
Murdock and Elm wood would be the
greatest thing ever tried In this city.
It would mean the advancement of
values of all kinds not alone In the
towns Immediately affected but In
the country tributary and adjacent to
tho proposed line. This advance
would mean a great sum for the
farming population directly affected
bv the construction of the line. It
wtuld mean such a sum that it would
pay everyone living within any rta
Konable distance of the road to con
tribute to the construction of It. If
the right kind of nn effort would be
made there Is small room to doubt
that the line com Id be constructed
and when It was built It would turn
out to be the best paying proposition
in this section of the country.

The disaster at Union on Sunday
morning serves to emphasize the ne
cessity for an investigation of the
management of the Missouri Pacific
railway. As stated in this paper yes
lert'ay, this corporations has issue,
bands and stocks on Its roadway to
the extent of $121,000 per mile-

that the public Is required to pay In

numerous accidents which daily en
danger the lives of the traveling
public and the trainmen unfortunate
enough to be compelled to engage in

The disaster at Union when It Is
properly Investigated will show that
It In the direct outgrowth of a policy
which demands dividends even If
purchased by human life. And this
one disaster Is only the foretaste of
what may happen In the future. A
careful examination of tho roadway
and the bridges of this line would
reveal some startling facts for .the
traveling public to think over.
It Is altogether too dear a price to
pay for so-called accommodations
ths toll of human life which rail
roads are taking every year. Ne
braska has a railroad commission,
the duty of that commission is to pro

the people of the state. It Is a
melancholy fact tho commission has
examined some of ho railroads and
found them In shape to properly look
after the public tfiyvel when to any
railroad man w ho Is acquainted with
he actual condition of these roads,

The duty which the state railroad
commission owes to the public Is to

and submitted to tne elector or tne
bondholders and Btockholders to In
tervene, with tho disastrous result
that, at least one life paid toll while
many are Injured.
The duty of the Btate Is to see that
railroad management Is not permitted
to perpetrate such outrages on the
public. Tho Missouri Pacific has a
recc.rd of cue disaster after another,
each fortunately without loss of life
until this lar.t visitation. With Biich
a record this read is in no position to
object to strict government super
vision and a demand that they be re
quired to put their tracks In condi
tion to carry passengers with safety

There Is no excuse fc.r yesterday's
disaster. This company Is capital
ized at $121,000 per mile, the par
ticular portion on which this wreck
occurred Is not so capitalized, but the
system carries this enormous load of
Indebtedness on which it Is supposed
to pay Interest and the branch

whether state, local or municipal
shall be uniform upon the same class

and shall be levied and collected un

That at said election In the year
1910, on the ballot of each, elector

to taxation." And If a majority of
the votes at said election shall be for
such amendment, the same shall be
