Ordinarily a dual street railway system is a nuisance,
but in Lincoln's case it has proved to be a blessing. Today
Lincoln has a street railway service that it would never
have secured had it depended upon the old company. The
Citizens Railway company, however, has forced the old
company to spruce up and brace up, and not only replace
some of the antedeluvian relics with modern and up-to-
date cars, but to raise some of the low joints, replace some
of the flat wheels, and give an increased service on prac
tically every line.
Decause of its enterprise, its accommodating spirit and
the fact that it is a home institution, pushed by home
men and dividing its receipts with the general public,
the people of Lincoln should look with kindly eyes upon
the Citizens "Railway company and patronize it whenever,
possible. In fact, they should go to some little trouble
to reach one of the "White Line" ears. '
Not the least, by any means, of the reasons why the
Citizens Railway company deserves well at the hands of
the hands of Lincoln people, is the fact that it was this
company's action that forced the six-for-a-quarter fare
and "school children's tickets" at an even lower rate,
A GOOD EXAMPLE.
Opponents of "High Due" Should
Learn Letson from Printers.
Some of tbe "cheap ones" who be
long to unions that nave low dues
should cease to complain If their-craft
is in bad condition. Cheap dues in it
self is enough to put any union in bad
condition, for cheap dues, means a
low reserve fund and a low reserve
'fund means that in case of trouble
or misfortune the union is not in a po
sltlon to help Its members.
Some of the union men who are pay.
ing 76 cents or $1 a month dues should
compare their condition with the print
ers. The printers pay $1.75 to $2.50
per month dues, according to position;
the union has a large membership,
plenty of money on hand; pays sick
and death benefits; maintains a home
for aged and broken down members;
pays an old age pension, pays strike
benefits promptly in short, the Typo
graphical Union treats its members
royally.
And you never hear a complaint
from the members about their dues.
Remember, ,Mr. Union Man, that
your union must have money to pay
all these things and the only way
to get that money is from high dues.
Paste this in your hat and quit kicking
if your union wants to "raise" you a
little. International Bookbinder.
