KO EEMA5TD FOR DISTANCE BATES HtTti Llkea lif of CaUwrll that - Mar Grata' I.J re Stack of State Baoala Cow to Omaha. itevlslon of, tha Kebraeka railroad rates wIMi a schedule for Jobbing and distrib uting centers lower than the regular rate between stations la Inevitable, according to Commissioner 3. M. Guild of the Com mercial club, who haa returned from Lin coln after attending a hearing before the railroad commission on distance tariffs. I "When Omaha went on record at tlio , hearing oh distance tariff It was only after alt theflnland towns of the state present Jiad been heard." said Mr. Guild. ' "Omaha and Lincoln waited purposely that they might have no Influence In the matter one way or' another. Kearney, Grand Island, Beatrice. Hastings, Fremont and others all ' expressed themselves. They were unanimous In the opposition to a flat distance tariff." "I was not surprised to find no demand for a distance tariff In thla state." said the commissioner. "With the exception of P. A. Caldwell of Edgar, who represents the agricultural people of that section, and one Individual shipper from Omaha, who appeared entirely on hla own responsibility and argued tor the adoption of the Iowa distance tariff In Nebraska without regard lo the general good to the state, there waa no showing to Justify a change In the plan now used for making railroad rates. Wot Conteaf with Rates Now. "Although opposed to an inflexible dls , tance tariff, my testimony was to the ef- feet thst we are not satisfied by any 'means with the Nebraska rates and, act 'Ing under Instructions, I made It known that a general revision ot the existing dis tance tariff and dlstrlbntlng rates is Im perative. On my statement that the Jobbing rates ' the state are aa high aa 100 per cent of ";e present distance -tariff being chal '"ged. I was able to-to give specific ref- rtnee to half a dosen different towns where such it the case, showing that we are practically operating under a distance tariff today, but flexible and capable of being adjusted to meet other factors be sodes that of -distance.. I urged the com mission to be cautious In the adoption of any schedule which would impair railroad service and retard the growth of the lines without a corresponding benefit to some one. 80 far there has been no testimony given to show how any class or community would derive advantage from the applica tion of the Iowa tariff In this state." MeVaaa Likes Caldwell Spirit. In the Idea of Mr. Caldwell asking for the hearing on the distance tariff the grain Interest of Omaha were Interested, aa the man from Edgar showed an evident desire to see more grain sent to the Omaha mar ket instead of being diverted to Kansas City and St Louis.' Secretary E. J. Mc Vann of the Omaha Grain exchange said: "I waa Impressed with the evident fair ness and sincerity of Mr. Caldwell, aa he said himself he was a man with a griev ance and did not at any time aay that a distance tariff would cure ilia of which he was complaining. , "It may be Interesting to Omaha people to know that Mr. Caldwell's grievance arises from the belief that the railroad rates are so adjusted from the South Platte territory that a large 'proportion of the grain and live stock from that country Is sent outside of the state of Nebraska In stead of being marketed In our own mar kets of Omaha and South Omaha. Mr. Caldwell evidently believes that our ma terial prosperity would be advanced if a larger per cent of the grain and live stock In the South Platte territory were con verted by the mills of Omaha and the packing houses of South Omaha, thereby creating property taxable here and adding to the sum of the wealth of the state. "I do hot think that anyone in Omaha will quarrel with these sentiments." Bed Cross -- OongH Drops. Druggists have none' "Just as good." Sc.

The Caimoiv Thsct Modernizes JdLpSLn BY HERBERT KAUFMAN. Business is no-longer a man to man contact, in which the merchant and the patron establish a personal bond, any more than battle is hand-to-hand grapple where bone and muscle and sinew decide 'the outcome. Trade as well as war has changed in its aspect both are now fought at long range. Just as a present day army of heroes would. have no oppor tunity to display the individual valor of its members, just so a merchant who counts upon his personal acquaintanceship for sue cess is a relic- of the past a business dodo. Japan changed her policy of exclusion to foreigners after a fleet of warships battled down the Satsuma fortifications. The Samurai, who had hitherto considered their blades and bows good enough, discovered that one cannon was mightier than all the swords in creation if they could not get near enough to use them .Japan profited by the lesson. She did not wait until further ramparts were battered to pieces but was satisfied with her one experience and proceeded to modernize her methods. The merchant who doesn't advertise is pretty much in the same position as that in which Japan stood when her eyes were opened to the fact that times had changed. The long range pub licity of a competitor will as surely destroy your business as the cannon of the foreigners crumbled the walls of Satsuma. Unless you take the lesson to heart, unless you realize the importance of advertising, not only as a means of extending your business but for defending it as well, you must be prepared to face the conse qences of folly as great as that of a duelist who expects to servive in a contest in which his adversary bears a sword twice the length of his own. Don't think that it's too late to begin because there are so many stores which have had the advantage of years of cumulating advertising. The city is growing. It will grow even more next year. It needs increased trading facilities just as it's hungry ior new neighborhoods. Uut it will never again support neighborhood stores. News paper advertising has eliminated the strength of being locally prominent, and five cent street car fares have cut out the advant age of being "around the corner." A store five miles away can reach out through the columns of the daily newspaper and draw your next door neighbor to its aisles, while you sit by and see the people on your own block enticed away without your being able to retaliate or supply new customers to take their place. It is not a question of your ability to stand the cost of adver Using but of being able to survive without it. The thing you have to consider is not only an extension of your busines but holding what you already have. Advertising is an investment, the cost of which is in the same proportion to its returns as seeds are to the harvest. And it is just as preposterous for you to consider publicity as an expense as it would be for a farmer to hesitate over purchasing a fertilizer ii he discovered that he could profitably increase his crops by employing it.T, . i , (Copyright, 1908. by Tribune Company, Chicago.) .sisSTn to ' f!?C Every Day TO APRIL 30TM, 1908 l '.' fT.1. ?
