A FEW QUESTIONS.
\Vc would like to ask thc city
council a few questions relative
to the telephone situation.
Do you believe in a monopoly ;
of a public serving corporation ?
Do you believe thc streets of
Falls City , should hc used for the
benefit of thc citizens who own
them , or for thc benefit of the
oc. Palls City Telephone Company ?
.
1'0 whom does Falls City owe
the greatest { debt , The Falls City
Telephone company a.nd the Jell
Telephone company , or the nine
hundred and : odd farmers who arc
asking telephone connections
with this city ?
Many of thc patrons of the Ru-
mutual company have boycot-
ted the town of Rube l because they
were denied admission to that
city. A like : threat has been
made against halls City within
the last ten days. Do you want
this done ? - - '
Can you give any good reason
why the . local ! telephone company
should be g'ivcn any . greater
rights in this city than any other
business enterprise ? . "
\ \ ould you be in favor of an 01'-

c1 linance putting a franchise tax
on any . other business in this
city ?
)0 you thil1k a company which
rigs earned 71 per cent a year
since its organization is more deserving -
- monopolistic privileges 411
than the mercantile houses who . . _ „ .
earn not to exceed ten per cent a
year ?
1'he city ol Lincoln at the re- !
quest of the independent telephone
phone companies , among which
is thc Falls City company , per-
mitted such independent com-
panics to establish long distance
service with that city on thc same
basis as their local companies.
Do you not thiuk wc could grant
thc same privilege to our farmer
friends as thc city of J4incoln
did to thc local ?

"I said ' as you remember , that
molder 110 circumstances would my .
vote be given to a man who would :
use thc influence of thc executive c
to fasten thc gold standard upon
the ' American pcoplc. " From
Bryan's speech accepting the
presidential nomination eight '
years ago. t
1'0 those democrats who berate
thc revenue lawVhal. : . . is your j
remedy ? Are you against every :
plan r paying taxes iln a full valu- C
j
ation of his property ? The present -
cnt law calls for a new deal and ,
that every man shall give in all '

of IllS property at lh full \'all1- I

Arc you opposed to this ?

It is rumored that the executive
committee of the state committee
will appoint Chas. iggs of
Beatrice chairman of the speakers
bereau for the present cilmpaign.
\Yc trust that this is incorrect.
Time republican party should be
through with Rig'g-s. Hem has
heeh .professional politician so
long and is so closely idea tined
with the railroad lobby that his
appointmcnt would merit , the
condemnation of every honest rc-
pub1ic\ln in thc state. 'rhe rank
and file of thc party want a new
deal and they don't want l ig-gs
or men of like associations to sit
in hc game.
The Beatrice 'ril1CS tells a
story that carries a moral which
should be heeded by every Richardson -
anlson County man. A resident
of Gage aunty . mark d an X on
a ten dollar bill and then spent it
in his own coutllunity. That
bill was returned to' him four
times in six years. He sent it in

a registered letter to a ; mail order
house in C1.icag-o four . years ago
and has nc\'er seen it since. That
bill will pay no more road tax in
Gage county. It will never contribute .
tribute to thc well fare of his
community ag-ain. .It will never
assist a neighbor : is out of circulation -
culation so far as Gage county is
concerned and will stay out till
the crack ' of doom. Anyone who

cannot see the lesson in this ,
would probably ] not understaad it
if wc pointed ! it out.

'rhe Falls City News suggests
that ' the editor of ' this paper can ;
not consistently oppose the telephone -
phone monopoly and be a rcpubli-
can. Lct's see. Isn't Jim' lull
of Minnesota opposing Roosevelt
and _ supporting Parker because
thc former clistroycd his railway
monopoly ? Isn't 13clmont thc
trust magnate of New York the
political manager of Judge Parker -
er ? ' Isn't Morgan fighting Roosevelt -
\'eU because thc President sug-
gested that thc tariff on antracitc'
coal be removed because \Iorgan"
and 'by thc grace of God Bacr
had a coal monopoly in the 'Penn-
splvania coal fields ? \Vasn't it
