whoso broad prairies they helped to
convert from tho habitat of lovhg
herds of buil'nlo and .vng Indians
anil trout 'llr.it hour to this they hnv.i
i-ontiibntt'd their full share to a story
of thrift and enterprise which swel.'s
with pride tho I, least of ovoiy trie
Neliriirknii.
The lltsl fedetal Ct'llslls repot t sll"s

these facts, hinl tho nun and women
who put hundreds of millions of dol

years ago invested their money in No
hraska farm lands, would not the in
vestment have proven infinitely more
profitable for them? And have not
tlio railroads plajoil a tremendous pint
In these advancing land values in the
past, and will they not also have much
to do with tho value which will be
lidded from this time forward? Have
not tho interests of the furiiioi- and
tho railroads always goi.o hand in

Dltl they not conquer the wilderness

Splendid as bss t) on our progress iu
the past, Nebraska today stands mere
ly on tho threshold of her truedosliny
Wo have ample room for thousands of
additional tillers ol the soil. So, too,
our splendid inland towns and cities
plead for factories in order that we
may ourselves produce much of tho fin
ished merchandise for which our peo
nlc spend millions of dollars an
nually. Again, we still need hundreds
of miles of new railroad mileage be
fore we shall be able to make tho most
of our agricultural and commercial
possibilities and the millions neces
sary for tlio construction of these fac
tories aiuf theso added transportation
facilities will not bo forthcoming un
less wo treat fairly the millions al
ready invested within our midst.
No state can riso higher than Its
people The state is what its people
muke it. Wo arc nil dependent upon
each other. The welfare of tho town
and The surrounding farms depends
upon a spirit of kindly co-operation
between those who live in town and
those who live upon tho farm, With
out splendid HI tic inland towns we
would have u rural atmosphere which
would drive every bright country boy
tin I girl to tho cities while without
Ihe. fartiis tho towns would wit her anil
