WANT HIGHER RATES.
Railway Employes Ask Aid for
Railroads.
N. Downer , chairman of the em
ployes' committee of the Rock Inland
railroad , has mailed to the candidates
for the legislature and for state of
fices and members of congress n
liberally signed petition asking for an
Increase In railroad , rates in Ne
braska.
The petition Is signed by business
and professional men and railroad em
ployes from many towns along the
Rock Island , the list filling slxtecr
typewritten pages.
The petition adopted by the em
ploycs committee Is as follows :
We , as citizens of this country , be
Hove In fair profits nnd good wages
and we. as railroad employes , realize
that our personal prosperity Is Inseparably -
separably associated with the pros
porlty of the railroad , our employer.
The Increased cost of materials , la
bor , taxes and other essential ele
ments entering Into the cost of operat
ing the railroad Is a matter of com
mon knowledge. The public demands
better time , greater safety , better ac-
commodatlonR , better equipment nnd
generally better service. The public
Is constantly receiving Improved
service from the care devoted to the
operation of the railway by their
managements. The public ought to
be willing and wo believe Is willing
to pay For such service.
All ot this points to the necessity
that the railroads receive a higher
rate for the transportation they fur
nish. Increased rates for transporta
tion will Insure regularity of our em
ployment and the stability of our
earnings and In all fairness this is due
us as well as the railroads.
We support the railroads in their
known efforts to secure higher rates
for the transportation they furnish
and we urge all those who have to do
with the rate question , whether the
Interstate Commerce commission ,
State Railway or Public Servlco com
missions , national and state legisla
tors , to deal fairly with this vital
question. We have had much legisla
tion involving the regulation of the
railways and much politics in connec
tion with the operation and control of
the railways In the recent past.
The fund from which our wages are
paid cannot bo constantly depleted
without injuring us as employes. Wo
know that transportation rates have
nothing to do with the increased cost
of living and we feel now that our
employers , the railways , mostly need
increased compensation in order to
secure increased earnings.
As employes of the Chicago , Rock
Island & Pacific Railway company we
have signed this petition in harmony
with the above declaration and bavo
authorized their presentation to the
Interstate Commerce commission ,
state railroad commissions or to any
olllclal , federal or state , who has any
thing to do with railroad rate making
or railroad regulation.
As individuals interested in - our
own comfort and prosperity and the
comfort and prosperity of our families
we have freely signed this petition
and subscribed to the above princi
pies.
Want an Appropriation.
At a meeting of the Nebraska state
swine breeders' association at the
state fair grounds a resolution was
passed by that body asking the state
legislature to pass an appropriation
of $5,000 to erect a building at the
state farm for preparing the serum
for the treatment of hog ehb'lera and
$20,000 for the purpose of preparation
and distribution. The resolution fol
lowed a letcure from Dr. W. B , . Niles ,
of the bureau of animal industry at
Washington , who explained the value
of the specific in detail.
Appeals to the High Court-
John Platt of Sarpy county has ap
pealed to the supreme court from a
judgment of $1,000 against him for
slanderous remarks made about Olga
Gerllng.
Governor on Primary Law.
"I sent a message to the last legis
lature in which I said , "the primary
law should be repealed or It should be
radically amended , ' " said Governor
Sballenberger at the meeting of the
state canvassing board. " 1 should
have cut off the sentence after the
word 'repealed , ' " he continued. "There
Is no justice In tbo primary law. It is
all right in theory , but it does network
work out in practice. Under the
primary law the counties of Douglas
and Umcastcj ; , If they get into the
same bed as they did in the late elec
tion , can control the nomination of
candidates. We have found that poli
ticians vote and manipulate the pri
mary Instead of the people , and that
is what we tried to avoid. The pri
mary law was enacted so that the no
mination candidates would be taken
away from politicians and placed in
the bauds of the people , but just the
reverse has been the result of this
law. The fact that out in the Twenty-
ninth senatorial district , a candidate
gets a nomination with only one vote
is enough to show the viciousness of
the primary law. "
Regulars at Lincoln.
Four hundred regular army soldiers ,
composing eight troops of the Seventh
cavalry from Fort Riley , Kan. , will be
camped near Lincoln from September
21 ! to 2ti. Information of this fact has

Sizer , with the request that he notify
Lincoln dealers who are prepared to
bid on furnishing supplies for the
camp- The estimatcdamouiit of pro
visions needed includes 2,000 pounds
of fresh beef , 1,600 pounds of potatoes
and 1,800 pounds of fresh bread.

teries in years , which the secret ser
vlco has been required to investigate ,
occurred Wednesday , February 20 ,
1907. The money was all in $1.000 and
$10,000 bills. Federal officers through
out the country were brought Into the
hunt for the missing money. For

$1,000 and $10,000 bills were subject
to open or covert scrutiny by secret
service agents.
