This petition is meeting with a most cordial reception from the busi ness men and it is desired that the list be made 100 per cent in the op position to the use of trucks as the means of hauling freight and the passenger carrying busses both of which have caused the loss of a gTeat deal of revenues of the railroad com pany in the last few years. The Burlington employes in their petition state their position very clearly as being for the local mer chant and not members of the mail order hounds as they have termed them. In turn they are asking the local business houses to see that their goods are shipped over th Burlington whenever this is possi ble and at least not on truck lines that assist in destroying one of the" revenue producing sources of the railroad companies. ' The use of the railroad for' travel also Is urged and should find a hearty response from the Plattsmouth people. The rail road schedules here are good for reaching any point that may be wish ed and there is no reason why those who are traveling shoiild not do their bit by taking passage on a "7T 2 The Burlington railroad contri- the number of persons drawing pay checks at the local shops, the sta tion and yard employes and on the number of these that are employed depends to a large extent on the volume of business handled by the railroads, the larger amount of business handled by the railroads, leading to larger number of shop and yard and train men employed on the railroad. There Is no reason in the world why there should not be a list 100 per cent strong among the Platts mouth people for the support of the railroads and the Burlington in particular, in their efforts to build up the proper amount of business In this community. The interest of Plattsmouth is to see that the rail road company has the proper sup port here. Truck lines and busses do little to aid the community while the railroad does. Common sense and logic teaches that the policy is to be for the Burlington good and strong and with the assurance that the railroad men will be for Plattsmouth.
