I h WU f3 1ST tf itmmm jnwp Official Paper of Redwillow County By F M KIMMELL Largest Circulation in Red Willow Co Subscription a Year in Advance II G Leavitt and tho Farmers canal project in Western Nebraska seem des tined to lose out und Uncle Sam to win The mayoralty question is beginning imitate the local politicians already And so it ought The people of the city can well afford to take a hand in this matter also If tho people of the United States could have the opportunity there would boa notable house cleaning in the United States senate Every new developement of irregularities among the members of the American house of lords is added proof of the necessity of the case Some recent cases of dereliction are quite as humiliating to our nationol pride and honor as personally pathetic Graft is a creature of hideous mein but United States senators appear to embrace it un dismayed One of tho features of the discussion of the postoflice appropriation bill in its recent appearance beforo the house of representatives was the part taken by Congressman Norris of tho Fifth Ne braska district who opposed the special facilities part of the appropriation which seems to be in the nature of a railroad graft Matching himself with some of the best forensic steel in the house Congressman Norris said in part Mr Norris Mr Chairman I presume it is cenorally understood and after the discussion last year was generally understood that there was no particular reason for this appropriation that we had boon giving subsidies to this rail road company and to tho ouo mentioned in tiie next paragraph for several years without any body knowing exactly why Now for tho reasons which I think are well understood by us all and which were fully dis cussed at that time it seems to me that the par agraph ought to be stricken out There is no reason that I know of why this railroad men tioned in this paragraph and the one mentioned in the next paragraph should receive this large sum of money even though at one time there might have been some reason for it I under stand that a great many of those who represent districts through which these lines run feel an interest in maintaining this service and that there is really nothing more than the combina tion between those iuterestedin tho matter that keeps it in tho bill Mr Chairmau it seems to me that tome of tho gentlemen who are opposed to this motion are not basing their arguments upon substantial grounds There has been quite a controversy as to whethor this is a subsidy or something else Mr Chairman as I look at it it is absolutely immaterial what you call it We all know what it is I presume that those who have conscientious scruples against voting for subsidies could vote in favor or tins appiopriation ana una solace in thoir hearts by calling it a subvention or something of that kind If this railroad com pany which is tho beneficiary of this contem plated appropriation is an eleemosynary insti tution you might call this philanthropy If it is bankrupt why call it charity or a donation If it is a religious corporation call it a contri bution to missionary work But whatever you call it tho fact remains just the same that there is at least in my judgment no good substantial reason why this payment should be made The rose we are told would smell just as sweet by nny other name and icdoes not make any difference what you call this appropriation It ought to be taken out of this bill Mr Chair man I move to amend the paragraph by striking out in line 14 page 18 the words Kansas City Mo to Newton Kas and insert in lieu thereof the words Orleans Neb tfcSt FrancisKas 1 want to appeal now to the membership of this house and say that inasmuch as favoritism to certain locaities was the only argument that has been made in favor of the continuation of this appropriation for this item jou ought to let the people of some other locality get a peep into this pork barrel Whenever you have a good thing of that kiud you ought to be fair and pass it around CROSIER WANTS TO KNOW Mr Cromer Mr Chairman I would ask if there are any papers published iti Omaha that could be distributed down through that valley AND NOREIS TELLS HIM Mr Norris There are papers published in Omaha the best in the world except in my own district They are distributed all through that valley but they dont get up there until they are stale worn out and weary and wrinkled with ago If we had 25000 more money we could get them up there two weeks sooner Laughter Down here through the southern states you only got them there
