The day of the settlement of the Greatest Issue ever before the Voters of Nebraska
is drawing to a close.
SHALL NEBRASKA BE A DRY STATE?
Every statement sent out by the Nebraska Prosperity League belittling Prohibi
tion in other states has been shown to be false or misleading. THERE ARE NOW
NINETEEN DRY STATES, but the Prosperity League has not had a statement
from the Governor of any one of these states or from any Judge of the courts, or from
any other state officer, saying that Prohibition had not been a success, while the Ne
braska Dry Federation has published letters from nearly every Governor of the dry
states, testifying to the beneficial results of prohibition.
Nebraska is among the very best states in the Union, not on account of the saloon,
but in spite of the saloon. Nebaska land is worth more than Kansas land, because it
raises better crops, and not because of booze.
Every state that has adopted Prohibition has made repaid advancement in all
lines, both material or moral.
The great corporations have outlawed the saloon. It is a menace to their business.
It is a menace to the interests of any community in which it is situated, and never
pays back even in dollars and cents one-half the costs it makes. The saloon never
brings better business to anyone except the saloon itself.
It stands as a Constant Temptation to B oys, and should be surpressed. Voter do
your duty, and

You Pay The Freight
( Your interests have been imperilled because you have not been consulted.
Congress put through the Adamson railroad law under pressure of the
til President. That law is not even an 8-hour law—it is simply a law in
creasing wages of trainmen, who threatened a strike if they didn’t get an in
crease. It merely provides that ten hours’ pay shall be given for eight hours’
work, thus increasing the pay of engine and trainmen 25 per cent. Under a
U. S. statute now in -force these engine and trainmen may work 16 hours a
day. Thus, an engineer getting 80c an hour will receive under the Adamson
law $16.00 for a day of 16 hours, where now he gets but $12.80.
jTT The railroads say this increase in wages will amount to $100,000,000 per
jl year; the railway unions insist that the increase will be but $60,000,000
per year.
gTT But this is not all. The engine and trainmen are but 20 per cent of the
jl railroad employees, and now the other 80 per cent are preparing to demand
equal treatment.
Jjf President Wilson has said that this increase in wages, if necessary, shall
jl be taken care of by an increase in freight rates, and, of course, an increase
in freight rates will l>e necessary. In fact, the Adamson law not only pur
poses to reimburse the railroads in this manner, but the railroads can be de
pended upon to get more.
Nebraska is in the middle of the continent and no State has a longer haul
jl to the Atlantic or the Pacific; therefore is it not evident that this bill is of
vital importance to every farmer and consumer in Nebraska, as these, and not
the railroads, are the ones who are to pay the cost? For years Nebraska farm
ers fought for lefwer freight rates and succeeded. Now we are going back to
the old ways, with a prospect that rates will be higher than ever before in the
history of the State.
f]T Farmers and consumers of Nebraska, you remember how you have strug- !
jl gled to get the rates you are entitled to. Are you going to submit to this
new imposition—this action of the President and Congress to undo your work
of years?
