Custer County Republican. (Broken Bow, Neb.) 1882-1921, 1906-08-30

force the provisions of the revenue
law and secure the payment OF taxes
and pledge our support in compelling
the railroads TO pay their Just share OF
taxation at the same time and I'm the
same maner as a private individual.
We demand that the next legislature
enact a direct primary law, providing
for the nomination of all state, county
and district officers, including congress-
men and United states senator's, by di-
rect vote; and until such law is enact
ed, we favor the nomination of United
states senator's by state convention, and
we pledge the republicans elected to the
legislature to support for United states
senator the republican candidate who
convention.
We favor the amendment of the con-
sttution of the United states provid-
ing for the election of United States
senators by direct vote of the people.
we declare ourselves as unalterably
opposed to the domination of corpora
tons in public affairs, and urge the
enactment by the next Legislature OF an
anti-pass law that will prevent the is
suance of any free pass free ticket
free transportation, or transportation
known as newspaper or editorial mile
age, except to bona flde employees of n
railroad company and to members OF
their immediate families and caretak-
ers OF live stock.
We are heartily in favor of and our
party unreservedly pledges its indorso-
ment OF the proposed constitutional
amendment providing for three railway
NplllilllSSlOntTS TO nc eleCteu DN ulTcCl
vote of the people. and demand that
the next legislature shall confer upon
suCh commission power to prohibit re-
bates, determinations and special rates
TO corporations, persons or localities
and to see to II that any and all abuses
are, corrected, and equitable freight
people. We hereby direct the officers
or this convention to certify this reSo-
luton to the secretary of state as pro-
vided for in the law submitting the
constitutional amendment Violating
the railway commission.
We confidently believe that the
voters voters of this state will adopt the. con-
railway commission, but should they
fail so to do, we demand that our next
Legislature shall frame such laws as
VIII give to the people of this state the
same advantages that congress has al
ready given the nation under tho rail-
road rate bill' in matters of interstate
commerce.
We also pledge the enactment by the
next legislature of a law along the
same lines as has been adopted by
ployers to their employees, to the end
that such employees may recover for
any injuries suffered. Notwithstanding
the negligence of a fellow servant
We demand an impartial enforcement
OF the revenue law by county and
state OFFICIALS to the end that ali prop
erty, both corporate and individual,
shall be assessed at its actual cash val
ne, thereby assuring fair and equal
assessment and the raising only of
current expenses of our state govern
ment under the most rigid economy.
While we believe that the present
method of assessing railroad property
in cities and villages and distributing
taxes therefrom through the various
counties is just and fair in so far as it
relates to county, state and school
taxes, we demand that the revenue law
be so amended that the railroad prop
erty within cities and villages shall
also be taxed the same as other prop
erty for city and village purposes.
We recommend that the legislature
enact such measures as Will insure in
| spection and uniform tests of dairy
| products, to the end that the growing
dairy interests of the state may the
| better be protected and encouraged.
The republican party of Nebraska is
| proud of its record and achievements
| and appeals with confidence to the peo-
| pie of our great and growing common
wealth for u continued approval of It's
| fits to the people of our state and union.
