H The bill now before the Nebrae
H ka legislature defining a legr
H „ newspaper is a blow at legitimat
H journalism. It practically throw
B down all proper restrictions , ani
H Will , if it shall unfortunately be
- come a law , undo all that the pres
I ent law has accomplished for th
legitimate newspapers of the state
H The present statute requires a bom
H fide circulation of 200 copieB ant
H that the paper shall have beei
H published 52 consecutive weeks t <
H entitle it to publish legal notices
B This law has driven out of exis-
K tence not a few worthless and use-
H' j - less newspapers , keeps wildcat ven-
' j tures down , and is materially im-
m I proving the papers that are weath-
H ( evin5 the storm. The proposed
H law strikes not alone at Republi-
Hi can newspapers , as is doubtless its
H 1 ' aim and purpose , but will , if suc-
Hj cessful , injure the established
Hj newspapers over the state of every
Hj political faith. Nebraska has more
Hj newspapers now than she requires.
H ] The proposed law would increase
K the number at the expense of tlioBe
E now battling for their existence ,
Hj and every newspaper man in the
H. state , regardless of political bias ,
H | and every friend of the press that
Hj seeks to aid in the upbuilding of
B an abler and more efficient press
B should take a hand in defeating
j the measure. This is no time for
H Nebraska to take a backward step.
K She demands better newspapers ,
B' ' not more.
