A REPUBLICAN NEWS-
PA PI R REFUSES TQ
SUPPORT DOUGLAS
The following from the
Longpine Journal , a repub
lican newspaper , says :
Pass = Molder Douglas. .
Mr. Douglas advised us some
time ago that when he concluded
to run for district judge , he re
turned his annual pass to the
Northwestern Railroad Co. When
the list of pass-holders were pub
lished , as is now required by law ,
the name of J. A. Douglas of Bas-
sett appeared as one of those who
had an annual pass on the North
western railroad. Since then we
have examined the law passed by
the legislature last winter , and as
certained who can legally have free
. It is declared
transportion. * un
lawful for any railroad or corpora
tion in the state of Nebraska to
give free transportation in any
form to any passengers over their
lines in Nebraska , except the fol
lowing : "Officers , agents , bona
fide employees , the major portion
of whose time is devoted to the
service of such railroad company ,
and the dependent members of
their immediate families ; children
under seven years of age , officials
and linemen of telegraph comi an-
iev ex-employees retired fromsei-
vice on account of age , or because
of disability sustained whi'e ' in the
service of said railroad company
and the dependent members of
their families , or the widows
or dependent children of employees
killed while in the service of such
railroad company ; necessary care
takers of live stock , poultry ) veg
etable and fruit , including trans
portation to and from the point of
delivery ; employees of sleeping
car companies and railway mail
service employees , newsboys entrains
trains , baggage agents , and per
sons injured in wrecks and phy-
sicians'and nurses attending them. "
in the second section of the act
it is provided that if any railroad
company or corporation , or any
person or persons violating any
of the provisions of the act , shall
be deemed guilty of a misdemean
or and for each oli'ense , on con
viction thereof , shall pay a fine of
not less than one hundred dollars
nor more than one thousand dollars.
This law went into effect on the
30th day of March of this year.
Since that time it has been a mis
demeanor punishable by a fine for
any person , excepting those desig
nated in the act , to accept or re
ceive free transportation in any
iorm. Mr. Douglas claims to
have his free transportation over
the road for the reason he was an
attorney for the railroad company.
Even admittibg he was the attorn
ey for the railroad , in order to
make it lawful for him to accept
free transportation it must appear
that the major portion of his time
was devoted to the service of such
railroad company.
The people of Rock county , at
the general eleciion of 1900 , elect
ed Mr. Douglas to the. office of
county attorney. He has been
acting in thut capacity thus far in
the year 1907 , drawing his salary
as such and discharging the duties
of that office. The question now
comes up , who is Mr. Douglas
serving , the people of Hock coun
ty or the Northwestern Railroad
Company ? In order to have his
pass lawfully , he must of necessity
be devoting "the major portion of
time to the service of such railroad
company , " and if he is not he is
subject to u fine of not less than
one hundred dollars nor more than
one thousand dollars for. the viola
tion of'-the anti-pass law. If Mr.
Douglas is devoting the major portion
tion of his time to the services of

the Northwestern Railroad Com-
puny where doas the people of
Rock county come in ? Who is
their county attorney and why are
they paying him a salary to dis
charge the duties of that office if
the major part os his time is de-
vofed to the service of the North
western railroad.
Mr. Douglas says in his letter of
acceptance that the only compen
sation he has ever received from
the railroad company for his ser
vices , was free transportation. The
law requires that before he is en-
titk'i1 to. a pass he must devote the
major part of his time to the
services of the railroad company.
If the major part of his time is
only worth a pass over its road ,
then the people of Kock county
are certainly over paying him for
his services as county attorney.
