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."

ABOUT ADVERTISING NO. 2.
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
