SCHUYLER Herald. The Nebraska railroad
commission should he relegated to the rear
by the incoming legislature Never since IL
existed has it accomplished any pcrccivable
good for the benefit Of the people. II was n
republican scheme gotten up for the express
purpose of providing soft berth for a num-
Der OF politicians. 1t should be done away
with.

should not adjourn without passing a law re.
quiring holders OF mortgages. either real or
Chattel, to endorse partial payments ON the

IL man buys farm and gives mortgage

OF course, the last legislature appropriated
money for very nice start toward a credita-
bic display, but the amount was entirely too
meagcr to accomplish the results desired.

| legislation is the most important duty of our
| legislature. And in connection with such
legislative action of their own our legislators
ought to memorabilia congress, urgently
: recommending that congress adopt the plan
| of building and operating railroads from our
north line along the Mississippi and Missouri
! valleys to the gulf, or at least to the points
| on the Mississippi from which the river at
all times III summer and winter is navigablc.
In this way we would get cheap freights for
| all heavy goods which we want to ship and
| to receive. Each state bordering on these
| rivers would have it in its power to compel
| the railroads within its territory to carry
our exports and imports to and from THESE
! government railroads at Il fair rate. BY
such arrangements the people would gain
| immensely and the railroads not lose any
| thing, traffic would be increased.
| Lincoln News a number OF bills have

! Pinkerton system. but for some reason or
other they have always failed of passage,
| Events of the past year have made it
apparent that there should be some re-
| strictions imposed by law against the
| employment by private parties of what
| have been called and with some justice,
| "hired assassins" for service which should
| be performed by local or state authorities,
| and the coming session will do well to pass
| measure of this kind. Pinkertonsn is un-
