END OF RAILROAD CONTROL
FebrMia RepnUioatu Ready to Throw Off
Corporate Domination.
PEOPLE TO MANAGE THE GOVERNMENT
Widespread Sentiment la Favor of
Revelation that Will Tat Power
Into Hands of the
Taxpayers.
i (PYom a Sta.fr Correspondent) I
GRAND ISLAND. Neb.. March 1 8pe- I
cial.) It la Impossible to mingle with rep
resentative republicans of six or eight
eountlea In the region about Grand Islanl
without being lmpresned with a venue of
the seriousness of the popular disposition
to revolt against railroad domination in
thla state. The people are actually In a
Hate of insurrection today, not. Indeed,
organized aa an army In the field, but ev
erywhere permeated with a determination
that railroad and other great corporation
and all who thrive by corporation servility
n.ust lake their hanria off the state govern
ment. The universal demand is that the
prostitution of legislature and the admin
istration of the lama to selfish corporation
ends. In disregard of the rights of the peo
ple, must, beyond a peradventure, be
stopped.
The high-handed course of the Union Pa
cific and Burlington systems is a fresh and
notable object lesson, especially In the
counties in this section of the state through
which their lines run. The railroads have
shown unspeakable folly in challenging the
attention of the people to their dictatorial
and perverse spirit In the matter of tuxes.
It la a common story' In these counties that
hundreds of taxpayers come into the
county treasurer's office and offer to pay
75 per cent or aome fraction of the taxes
on their farms as merchandise, and an
grily ask why they must pay their taxes In
full If railroad corporations refuse to pay
theirs in full.
"Why don't you seise their cars or other
property?" This is a
question that is I
asked again and again at the treasurer's
office in every county along the Burling
ton and Union Pacific linea.
More Thaa Mere Taxes Involved.
'. It means something when the mass of
the taxpayers are thus aroused. It meana
far more than the mere matter of the taxes
involved, although that is important and
very embarrassing to some counties. One
does not have to go far to rind that the
whole Issue of the control of the corpora
tions is raised. It meets you on every
hand. In county after county. There Is
practically no diversity of sentiment anions
the masses, and popular feeling is the
more Intense in most of the counties be
cause of the fact that the railroad corpo
rations are conspiring again this year to
thwart any effort for substantial and per
manent relief.
The Roosevelt spirit has actually per
meated the people. It is perfectly certain
that they regard the struggle In congress
its only the beginning. In all these coun
ties men are saying that what is most
needed now Is a Roosevelt reform In Lin
coln. The people are now interested and
determined to have Nebraska railroads
controlled by the Nebraska government.
They wnnt u state government that in
very branch represents the people, on the
illKtinol and
ImmuUible condition that the !
liorpuralinntt. however great, are subjects
nid rot dictators.
Nothing i more noteworthy than the
cjmc : vul ive ihn rioter of ihe popular dc
rr.Mxl. 1 owe vn pftf.soiiate feelintr may be.
r. Vi'-'-v of the outrageous attitude of the
ia'lro:n! corM.ir;ttlonn. There Is no wild
nnl vtVrs ujttaUon, nothing thMt savors
of the rVrlt of l:ili-C! imlnale vengeance
and mis -hlcvous destruction. On the con
trary, there is every sign of u disposition
to treat the railroads fairly, and even
conslderat -ly.
The substance of the popular demand is
that the state government be divorced
from undue corporation Influence. This is
at the root of the universal call for the
summsry abolition of free passes to legis
lators and public officials and all favored
classes. sThis is why there is such in
dignant protest against the persistent ef
fort of the railroads to escape by hook or
croak from their share of taxes. . But the
people, in all this region have gone far
beyond the matter of free passes and col
lection of taxes. They are beginning even
more Insistently to demand that the public
be the decisive authority, and put a limit
on the enormous taxes which the rail
roads extort In charges for carrying the
products of 'Nebraska.
Thla is the core of the matter as the case
stands today public control against rail
road control or railroad evasion. And It Is
upon this issue that the people through
this portion of the state are ripe to choose
a legislature, railroad commissioners, gov
ernor and state officer.

OUTLOOK IS DARKER
(Continued from First rag )
cause. One thing Is certain Count Ckilu
chowskl's position Is considerably shaken;
his former defense of Magyar interest at
Bucharest does not render him any the,
less unpopular at Budapest. The sudden
prominence given to Austria-Hungary In
the recent naval demonstration at Mltye
lene was a mere flash In the pan. which
deceived no one, least of all the sultan,
for Its real causes are to be sought not
In Its neighbor's confidence In Austria's
strength, but In the temporary eclipse of
Russia and the policy of self-effacement
lately adopted by England. The troubles
of the dual monarchy Is one aspect of
European politics not appreciated up to
the present time. This Is all the mora
surprising when it Is remembered that
Austria has always been a power In diplo
macya sort of a pivot for the balance of
power In Europe. Austrian weakness cut
both ways. It deprives Germany of Ha
chief military ally in the event of war.
and. on the other hand, the breaking up
of the dual monarchy In southeastern Eu
rope would undoubtedly prove a tempting
opportunity for the predatory Instincts of
the Pan-German league.
Blame the Arrhdake.
Among the Viennese themselvea the dis
position appears to be to blame Archduke
Frans Ferdinand, the heir apparent, who
has been credited with having Informed
the emperor tha he would not ascend the
throne unless the privileges of the crown
were handed down to him undiminished. It
is always a difficult thing fo rrove any
thing regarding these subrosa statements
of rovaltv. but If there is anything In this
declaration of Archduke Fran Ferdinand
it will not tend to Increase his personal
popularity In Hungary should he ascend the
throne, and It Is needless to say Archduke
Fran Ferdinand I unpopular enough in
Hungary already.
Only the other day Count Andrasy's
paper, the Budapest Burlap, challenged n
violent Issue. "Better war." It declared,
"than a rotten peace." "The die Is cast."
Kossuth's paper, the Budapest, recently
declared In an article, alo sounding the war(
trumpet.
Perhaps the niosi Interesting develop
ment in connection with the failure of the
coalition intrigue are those published by
M. Ko.uth in his orgun, Budapest. After
the return of Count Andrasy from Vienna
with the roval message M. Kossuth called
a meeting of all the executive committee
men belonging to the independent party
nnd pointed out thai as the nation had
not been aware during the last election
that the claim for the Hungarian words
of command might end In a life and death
struggle. It was necessary before the strug
gle was proceeded with that the nation
should again be consulted. If not by means
of an election, at
least by a plebiscite.
The meeting considered the Idea of a
plebiscite unparliamentary, but agreed to
a truce with the crown. This truce would
have assured to the crown not only the
ordinary budget and the ordinary contin
gent of recruits, but also the new field
artillery In place of the obsolete guns now
in use. I'nder the new franchise the na
tion would have been appealed to. The
king, however, broke off the negotiations
and thus interrunted what M. Kossuth
CjUlpd an attempt on the part of the .
uyp committee to build a golden bridge
for the crown.

VIENNA, Marc'i 3. The reconstruction
of the Hungarian cabinet is announced
frftn Budapest. The new ministers evi
dently were selected primarily with the
view of their fitness nd willingness to
help the crown carry aut Its policy in the
face of unpopularity and possible resist
ance. The previous cabinet had to face ostra
cism on the part of the many extremist
elements and the same fate aaaits it suc

Minister of Justice M. Layny is expected

failure of the railroads to pay taxes have
been compelled to close the schools and
that In other schools there Is great embar
rassment. Mr. Brown and Mr. Greene have
agreed to advance the cases now pending
and such other cases as may have relation
to the same subject and this motion will
be made Monday on the opening of the
supreme court.
Politically Mr. Brown refused to say
anything as to his boom for senator, ex
cept that he was In the race and that con
ditions looked bright.

In the southern portion of the state not
being favorable to the propagation of game
fish.

of the First National bank, whose citshier
desregarded a subpoena of the Drake In
vestigating committee and is to be called
before that committee to answer for his
action, said today that the pomer of the
senate commltte will be tested in the
courts. He did not say just what form
the test would take, but it will probably
follow the serving of the warrant Issued
by the committee agninst T. J. Davis,
cashier of the First National bank, citing
him to appear and answer why he should
not be punished for contempt In disregard
ing the subpoena to appear as a witness
before the committee. Thn bank's attor

Is a legally constituted board of inquiry
and that the case will be carried up to

tercollegiate foot ball rules committer hrld
a protracted meeting In this city today. but
rniletl to complete tne new rules. nnen
the committee adjourned tonight it was to
meet here again March V. The committee
made a number of changes in the game,
but nothing was done about the final covll
ficarlon of the niles either as to those
adopted today or at the previous meetings.
One of the changes decided upon Is the re
duction of the length of Ihe games. The
new rules provide for thirty-minute halves.
Instead of tblrty-five-mtnute halves with an
Intermission of ten minutes. The report of
the subcommittee on a central board of
officials was received and discussed, it was
finally voted to recommend the adoption of
a plan looking to the Instruction and super
vision of officials and suggesting that the
diflerent sections of the country appoint
central committees tha shall be charged
with the introduction of such a system. It
waa also voted that the suoeommlitee on
the organization of the central hoard of
officials communicate at once with game
officials of note throughout the country
with a view of obtaining an expression of
opinion as to the most feasible measure
for carrying out the plan proposed. The
subcommittee wss directed to present plans
to the general committee at the next meet
ing for the adoption of a plan of procedure.
The following were some of the chsrges
decided upon tentatively during the session
of the committee
Holding The players of the side that has
possession of the hall shall not hold, block
or otherwise obstruct the opponent except
with the body. The only sllowable use of
the arms in blocking or obstructing an op
ponent is with the arms close to the body.
A player running with the ball may ward
off the opponent with the hands. The
penalty for holding will be a loss of fifteen
jsrds.
Hurdling Hurdling In the open field Is
prohibited, such to consist of Jumping over
an opponent who 1 still on his feet. Hur
dling through the lln is prohibited. Hur
dling the line Is Jumping or attempting to
Jump over a player on the line of scrim
mage with the feet or knees foremost,
within the distance of five yards on either
