That the Trenton section is one
of the ga. den spots of the state is
shown by the value of it's real
estate. A few days ago Mrs. En-
ma Hord sold her farm near Tren-
ton to Mr.. James Miller for $40
per acre. The price of one acre
would buy almost a hundred acres
in some portions of the country.
There is no doubt about he fact
however, that all lands in the ru-
raj districts of the county and
state have greatly enhanced in
value within the last five years
The demand for land has steadily
increased since the changed con-
ditions have rendered farming
more profitable.

Railroad Extortion.
(O'Neill independently

The railroads collected freight
rates in Nebraska to the amount of
nearly thirty-eight million dollars
in the last year. These rates are
enormously higher than in Mis-
souri,, in Kansas or in Iowa.
They have been increased from
year to year and are higher today
than ever before. Since the re-
publicans got control four years
ago, they have been boosting rates
to the top notch. The republicans
have control of the whole state
government and legislature. Do
they reduce rates any, or even at
tempt to? Not much. The whole
party is owned from the crown of
it's head to the sole of its feet by
the railroad corporations. :

first administration reduced the
public debt and how Harrison's
proceeded to deplete the treasury
while he was looking up these fig
ures for himself? Why didn't he
tell how the republicans of Ne
braska run the state 100000 in
debt? He could have looked up
these figures for himself too if he
would, but he says we'll have to
raise the taxes by higher valua-
tons to pay the state debt, which he
admitted was large and growing
with great deal of interest to
pay He wouldn't have to 60 to
Washington to look up these fig
ures but he and all the other re-
publicans seek to dodge state is
sues and state figures. That's why
the World-Herald's figures worry
them. These republicans don't
want to hear any figures on our
state finances and seek by ridicule
and abuse of the democratic party
to misdirect atten ton from republic
can robberies and reckless expen-
ditures of our state money. An
drews stated that there was on
July 1 $2,7S5, 100000 of silver in
circulation and then claims that
republicans want an honest dollar
and the republicans paying the
American miner only 50 cents for
every dollar coined since 1896.
Who is it that wants the 80 cent
dollar worse than the republican
party? If it we're not for the large
coinage of silver, the increase of
the national bank notes to 100 per
cent for circulation, the large out
put of gold from the mines and
large exports on account of foreign
wars, Roosevelt would be better
understood as reckless and I'M
safe man.

The republican party goes be-
fore the people with every pledge
redeemed, Andrews says, and ev-
cry promise kept, yet the state
debt increased with every set of
their officers and now they want
to amend the constitution so as to
allow republican officials to go on
as they have been going. Theft
and pillage has marked their ca
reer in every state administration.
In some instances they couldn't
steal the money fast enough in ap-
preparations and state treasurers
relieved them of a part of the
funds. BARLEY, for instance, with

1t seems that President Roose-
welt cares very little what becomes
of the Jewish people as long as he
has their vote. Repeated attempts
have been made to get him inter-
ested in securing equal rights to
all American citizens to travel in
Russia at their will Or pleasure.
Discrimination is made against
those of Jewish faith and they are
made to appear as outcasts. Why
has the president disregarded the
entreaties of Henry NJ. GoldfogeI
of New York and others who have
sought to have this right ackow-
LEGGED and steps taken to place
American citizens of good stand
ing beyond reproach. Roosevelt
had time to make a trip through
the Z. S. last year to see how his
people were getting along but he
either didn't care to interest HIM
self in the jewish Americans or
thought he could put them off with
promise and let nature adjust
itself.

w. E. Andrews spoke to a large
audience Monday evening in the
courthouse. He was unfair in his
statements of republican and demo-
cratic administrations and sought
to leave the impression that the re-
publican administration of Har-
rison, preceding Cleveland's Sec
ond term, left the government with
abundant finances and that it was
the Wilson and German bill which
depleted the treasury and caused
the democratic administration to
issue bonds for S26O,000,O00. The
plans were made during Harrison's
time for this loan and the plates
were already cast for the bonds
before his term of Office expired.
He didn't explain this. He also
said that knife having so cent
protective tariff would enable
American manufacturers to pay
labor the 50 cents but didn't tell
us that it would also enable him to
employ his labor as cheaply as
possible and put the 80 cents down
in his own pocket. If the gov
eminent wants the American lab
orer to have the 5Occnts why don't
they give it to him instead. He
said the republicans brought the
credit of our government up from
the grave. Our government was
never out of debt excepting under
a democratic administration. Look
at the state of Nebraska and see
how the republican party's eX-
travagancc has always run Our
country into debt. Why didn't

teen years ago the differeHt Iegis-
laturcs began lacking on to this
state an extra set Of officers at
good round salaries. Such as a
labor commissioner, 3 pure food
commission, a state board OF health,
a fish and game commission, or
warden, a secretary Of the state
printing board, etc. This went On
until there was not taxable prop
erty under the old revenue law in
sight to raise the amount of money
required to support these extra
officers, and of course the state
went into debt in order to meet the
expenses necessary to this kind of
expansion. This was followed up
until the state was in debt some
two and a half million dollars.
The legislature was appealed to
cut off these superfuous officers.
Governor Savage in his message to
the legislature said that their was
then officers sufficient to transact
ten times the business the state
had to transact but through the
influence brought to bear they
we're all retained and in casting
around no other means was at
hand save that of increasing the
burden upon the people. The rail-
roads were unwilling to bear any
greater portion Of these burdens,
and in casting around it ascertain
ed that the farm, being the source
of all wealth within this state,
was the place where this surplus
could be raised, and a new reve-
nue. law was formulated having
this in view.
The railroads within the state
succeeded in having their valuation
lowered about 80 per cent, while
the farm lands were doubled in
value. If the farmer can be in
duced to grin and raise the amount
on his holding there will be mon
ey to burn in Nebraska in the
future. Political strikers unable
to support themselves and families
with honest toll will seek addit-
ional Offices at the hands of fu-
ture legislatures. Doubtless it
has been said there will be a kick
raised but it is figured that the
popularity of President Roosevelt
in this state will carry this whole
mess Of political corruption, polit-
ical chicanery, and high taxation
through, and that at least three
more years of money to burn will
be experienced before the people
become sufficiently aroused to set
upon the whole matter. The time
has arrived when the farmers of
bis state must do something be-
sides grumble at the very high
rate of taxation levied upon them.
They must see that those RESPONSE
BILE for this condition of affairs are
turned down and that men not
pledged to the repeal of the present |
revenue law are not sent to the |
legislature. Friend Telegraph
