Watch for a Chill
However slight at thi3 time of the year and
in this climate it is the forerunner of malaria
A disposition to yawn and an all tired out feel
ing even comes before the chill Herbine by
its prompt stimulative action on tho liver
drives the malarial germs out of the system
purifies the blood tones up the system and
restores health 5oc at A McMillens
Total 27116 miles 59402 92 219 03 permile
The trunk line of the Unoin Pacific passes across
the state of Nebraska and it is a valuable property
The figures presented show that it pays taxes amount
ing to 47322 per mile in the state of Nebraska and
through the payment of this amount of tax in this
state it made the average tax per mile 26279 on the
whole line of road in the year 1900 The Inter State
Commerce Commission reports show that the average
tax paid by railroads in Nebraska was S19886 and the
average west of the Mississippi was but 17145
These figures show that in Nebraska the Union Pacific
Railroad pays much more tax than the average rail
road pays and it pays much more proportionate taxes
than it should pay
The tonnage given the Union Pacific in 1900
amounted to 548206 tons of freight for each mile of
railroad and for purposes of comparison we will com
parewith thePennsylvaniarailroadsystem the great
est freight carrying roadsint he world a system of roads
that handled in 1900 3250587 tons of freight for each
mile of road nearly six times the tonnage of the
Union Pacific
The wildest western boomer would not compare
the Union Pacific with the Pennsylvania syst
railroads The Pennsylvania railroad system

Statement of the Taxes Paid toy the Chicago St Paul Minneapolis
Omaha Railway Company in 1901
This section of road is the Nebraska end of tfc
Chicago St Paul Minneapolis Omaha Railway b
Company
The traffic furnished this portion of the road is so
much less than whatisgiven the line east of theMissouri
River that yhile the whole road in 1900 earned 2751
80 net earnings per mile the line in Nebraska earned
but 127041 or less than one half the average How
ever it will be seen that on the Nebraska line they
paid S21905 per mile tax
It is aim to make
our comparisons with roads un
der similar conditions either in earning capacity or
location and in these comparisons no using immed
iate adacent states that the
so complete line of com
parisons will ultimately cover nearly the whole
country
So in this bulletin we will take some southern
states among others for lines of comparison
