$5.00 per acre , the Union Pacific Railroad has aided in
increasing the value of those lands many-fold.
The assessed value of all property in Nebraska has
increased from $171,747,593 in 1900 to $398,985,819 in 1909.
There has been no more important factor than the
Nebraska railroads in creating this enormous wealth.
The resultant prosperity has increased the value of the
railroad.
In 1900 the Union Pacific Railroad paid taxes in the
State of Nebraska amounting to $299,855.44. In 1909 it
paid $578,112.44.
Progress for the Union Pacific means progress for the
whole State. Every mile of additional track laid , every
train or station , creates wealth , which is not shared only
by the Union Pacific Railroad but by every citizen in the
State of Nebraska.
