What's all this noise about any
way? The money question.
What! The old 16 to 1 question up
again?
No, Old 16 to 1 is dead and buried
forever. But there is another, ques
tion of money, very important to Ne
braska people. The Nebraska rail
roads are exacting for their services
about $10,000,000 annually from Ne
braska people in the way of freight
rate extortion. :
How do you make that out?
The official reports of Iowa show
that the Iowa roads get about $1,500
per mile net profits while the Nebras
ka reports show that the Nebraska
roads get twice that amount. In other
words, if the Iowa rates and Iowa reg
ulation was in force in Nebraska, the
net profits on the Nebraska business

would be the same per mile as m
Iowa, or about $1,500 per mile. The
extortion practiced in Nebraska is
about $1,500.
Well $1,500 is not much.
No. but $1,500 per mile on 5,600
miles is $8,400,000 per annum. The
very latest reports on Nebraska busi
ness indicate that this extortion
would now reach about $10,000,000 an
nually. That means about $10 per
capita.
Why, that's robbery!
It is. It is one of the most aggra
vated examples of cold blooded rob
bery ever known In all the history of
the world. Because our people are
energetic and our soil is fertile, these
transportation' companies can plunder
us with an extortion that amounts
to $10 per capita, and still leave our
people a margin of profit that makes
them prosperous as compared with the
people of other - states where they
are less intelligent, less energetic, and
where the conditions are less favor
able. Do the Nebraska producers
know that they are being plundered
in this way?
Yes. They see this steady drain
from their pockets. They feel the
weight of the railroad yoke upon their
necks. For the railroads not only rob
them of these millions in money an
nually, but by a systematic use of
bribes they corrupt politics and rob
the people of their control in the gov
ernment of the state.
It is easy to see why the railroads
want this extortion, this $10,000,000
annually, if they can get it, because
this $10,000,000 is money and it swells
the coffers of the railroad kings of
Wall street who own the Nebraska
railroads. They want money. But
why do they want political control?
They want political control to back
up their control of transportation
rates. They must keep their political
yoke on the necks of the people and
crack the bosses' whip over the party
conventions in order to prevent rate
reduction laws by the legislature and
in order to prevent the election of
independent men to the national con
gress.
Well, how do they get this control
over our state politics and over our
public offices?
They buy It. " " T'!? ) I
With what?
With a free pass system.
What is a free pass system?
It is a systematic distribution of
free passes issued by the railroads,
scattered out among the people where
they w.111 do the most good all under
the direction of hired pass distribu
tors whose business it is to get from
the people for the railroads

trained men that Napoleon could
throw upoa his enemies' lines at the
critical moment and beat them down,
But, still, a political party, like the
republican party, for example, under
Roosevelt, must have among the rank
and file a settled haired for this rail
road police force, and this sentiment
cannot be entirely disregarded by the
railroad bosses.
No, they cannot ignore the anti-
pass sentiment, but they can appear
to humor it fof a time and then it
the critical moment cheat the people
and fool them at the last,
How?
They can give them anti-pass re
lutions and then put up pass procured
candidates.
Can they do that this year?
They can and they will unless tte
rank and file republicans fight. When
