He appeals to the peopta of Nebraska to stand by the new deal and the party and the men who stead- fjtstlyTVttfc honesty pf purposa nd. wttaout malic, hae done so much for the' common cause of good government Governor Sheldon's statement is as follows: f LINCOLN. Nob., Oct. 12, 1908. To the People of Ne braska: I submit for serious consideration the following state ment showing what the republican party under the present administration has done in Nebraska since 1906 for good gov ernment and the public welfare. Reduced the state debt from $1,917,000 to $600,000. Reduced passenger fares to 2 cents a mile. Reduced express rates 25 per cent. Reduced freight rates on grain, live stock, fruit, lumber and coal 15 per cent. Saved shippers and passengers in reduced rates $6,000, 000, without reducing wages of employes or preventing reason able earnings on capital invested. Increased the value of railroad property for purpose of geenral taxation $5,654,441. Increased the value of railroad psperty for municipal taxes in cities and villages, by means of terminal taxation law. Passed an act to prevent corrupt lobbying and corrupt practices affecting legislation. f Abolished the free pass evil by enacting and enforcing the anti-pass law. Enacted a state-wide primary law requiring political par ties to nominate their candidates, including congressmen and United tSates senators, by direct vote of the people. Controlled railroads and fixed rates through the railway commission. Put an end to rebates and discriminations In transporta tion of freight and passengers. Compelled the railroad companies to got permission from the railway commission before changing rates. Established the right of the state to enjoin corporations from violating state laws to the Injury of the public. Puaced telephone, telegraph, express and street railway companies under the supervision and control of the railway commission. Stopped the sale of short-weight packages and adulterated food, by enacting and enforcln gthe pure food law. Increased the rate of interest on stats funds deposited In banks 1 per cent. Increased the state revenue by fees Imposed on foreign and domestic corporations $40,000. Increased the rate of Interest on bond Investments of tha permanent school funds one-half of 1 per cent, or $10,930 a year on investments since January, 1907. Abolished speculation in unpaid stats warrants 'and In creased the permanent school funds with the Interest thereon. Kept the state Institutions in a first class condition, pro vided the best of care for the wards of the state and managed the institutions economically. Passed and sustained in court a law to prevent unfair dis crimination In trade for the purpose of driving a competitor out of business. Made railways liable to employes for Injuries resulting from negligence of fellow-eervanta and other employes and re pealed the statutory provlblon limiting to $5,000 the amount recoverable for death by wrongful act. This is the record briefly given of legislation and admin istration during the last two years through the republican party. All this has been done in the interest of the people of this state. The republican pfrty continues to stand for those things in legislation and administration which will promote good government and prohibit any person or corporations from enjoying special privileges at the expense of the public. Our concern is to deal with all questions as they arise In a way that will best promote and conserve the general welfare of our state. There shall be no retreat. I ask that the record of the republican party of deeds done In this state during the last two yearsbe placed for consider ation beside the democratic promises of the past and the pres ent and appeal to the people of this state to stand by the new deal and for the party and the men who steadfastly, with honesty of purpose and without malice, have done so much for the common cause of good government.
