The STORY Of the Nebraska LEGISLATURE

poses. With the organization in their |
control these railroad lobbyists coolly |
proceeded with their work of directing |
the legislative business. Railroad pow
er over the law-making body was SUI
preme Neither the house nor the SEN
ate made any effort to throw off the
corporation yoke. The chief lobbyists
boldly quartered themselves in the
private offices of the speaker OF the
house and the lieutenant governor.
Whoever looked at the legislative ma
chine in its work could see that it was
manned at every point by the corpora
tions and that it was operated en-
tirely under their direction.
The big corporations lowered over
the little ones. The three chief rail
road powers, that is, the Burlington,
the Union Pacific and the Elkhorn,
uniting their forces together, assumed
sort of protectorate over all corpo-
ration interests and the hired lobbyists
of these three roads were the COM
manding generals in charge to whom
| the representatives of the smaller cor
porations reported for duty and from
whom they received orders.
These generals in charge OF the
railroad lobby made no pretense OF
concealing their power. When they
talked of the progress OF legislative
work, they talked as men having au-
thority. They spoke patronizingly Of
the legislative members, as a business
manager would speak of his under-as-
sociates, gave out frankly, when ques-
toned, what would happen to this or
to that measure, which bills would
finally pass and which would fail, SO
i that the newspaper reporters in the
| very early part of the session were
able to notify the public in advance
just what result might be expected
on any of the important questions
pending.
/ When it became known beyond any
question, as it did in the very earliest
days of the session, that the whole
legislative body was completely under
the control of the railroad lobbyist
the leading newspapers at Lincoln and
Omaha opened a fire of criticism thai

railroads and yet that would ease the
tension and sooth the public senti-

Right at this point it occurred to
some one that an endorsement of
Roosevelt would be good thing.

How the People Fooled Themselves,
and the Railroads Fooled the People

In their struggle with the corpora
lions the people often waste their
energy. During the campaign OF 1904
the Nebraska people expended too
much energy in shouting for Roose-
welt. 1t was foregone conclusion,
even before any convention was held,
that Roosevelt would be nominated
and would carry the state, no matter
who might be the opposing candidate.
There was, therefore, no issue in
Nebraska on that point. With the
people of Nebraska it was not ques-
ton of what the state could do to
help Roosevelt, but what it should do
for itself by way of securing an honest
legislature which would enact needed
legislation, and state officers VINO
would enforce the laws No amount
of energy that Nebraska voters could
expend on Roosevelt would make him
any stronger in the nation or make
the corporations in Nebraska any
weaker in this state. The people in
their enthusiasm did not see that
point. The corporations did, And
right there the railroads got an early
advantage.
They started their henchmen, the
free pass-holders, into the work OF or
ganizing Roosevelt clubs. Each pass
holder having tip from the boss hur-
ried around in his community to or
ganize Roosevelt club and to get
himself and his pass-holding associates
into the control OF 1t.
1t would please the people to be
organized into enthusiasm around
Roosevelt and it would make them
forget and neglect some other things
In the state campaign that very much
needed their time and attention.
Roosevelt could not abolish the free
PASS system in Nebraska, nor reduce
the extortionate freight rates in Ne
braska, nor enact a revenue law that
would prevent tax Sinking on the
part of the railroad corporations OF Ne
braska. These were things that Ne
braska people must do for themselves
To get these laws into the statutes
and to get state officers who would
enforce them. that was the real issue
in Nebraska.
But when once worked up to en-
thusiasm around Roosevelt, the Ne
braska voters thought only of him, and
while they shouted themselves hOarse
for "Teddy," the railroads quietly cap
tured the legislative candidates.
After the legislative nominations IN
the dominant party had been procured
by the railroads it was useless for the
opposition to point out the fact. Cri
ticism of a republican candidate
seemed like an attack on Roosevelt
and as the tidal wave for him rose
higher and higher it carried the rail
road drift-wood along with it and land
ed the railroad procured candidate.
into Office.
Now, when you have told this much
of the story of the last Nebraska leg
islature you have told practically al
OF it. This railroad procured legisla
ture did what all such legislatures dc
just what the railroad corporation
wanted it to do, no more, no less
With Roosevelt elected, and the ter
sion removed from the public mind O.
that point, the people turned their al
tention to their legislature, but It wa
too late. The railroads had captured
body and boots at the nominating col
ventions.
