DIVIDEND MANIPuLAr1oN.


Opinions differ widely as to the wis
dom as a business policy of the sudden
putting OF Union Pacific stock on 10
per cent dividend basis, and of declar-
ing a distribution of 8 per cent on
Southern Pacific shares on which there
has been no dividend for years. Some
of the most competent business and
railroad men hold that such a rate,
even though 1t may recently have been
earned, in all probability. cannot be
maintained, since the high food tide
of traflc that has been reached is not
to be expected in the future. II Is
common knowledge that both systems,
which have the most intimate inter-
relations under a common control,
have for a series of yeass been making
enormous appropriations out Of earn
ings for betterments which we're i'm
peratively required to handle the grow
ing tonnage economically and to meet
the competition of other transconti-
mental lines. and there has even been
ton at such diversion of income to
improvements at the expense of divi-
dends, instead of increasing capitaliza-
ton. 1t is accordingly strongly urged
length been put In efficient condition
without capitalization increase, divi-
dends may be safely expected perma-
nently out of earnings.
However this may be, no difference
of opinion whatever is expressed in the
press as to the manner in which divi-
dend adjustments have been manipu-
lated for speculative purposes for the
advantage OF the high insiders" who
by reason of their official positions had
the whole game in their own hands.
The universal verdict is one of con-
demnation of the deal. as a gigantic
breach Of trust, whereby the knowl-
edge of trustees was used to beat
stockholders out of unnumbered mil
lions.
II 1t shall appear that the of1cials
have used their knowledge and power
over the dividend distribution to Thin
blerig the speculative market to the
hurt of the shareholders, whose inter
ests they are in honor bound to repre-
sent and protect, a grave blow will
indeed have been struck against con-
fidence In railroad management and
the control of great corporations gen.
orally.

TEE RrpunLrcAK oonKENrrnr.

The republican state convention
which is about to meet at Lincoln
promises to be a notable event in Ne
braska political history. The work
cut out for II in the call embraces sew
eral subjects not usually dealt With
and on that account the preliminary
contests throughout the different coun-
ties have aroused more than usual in
terest and participation.
The convention call provides for the
nomination of a candidate for United
States senator. 1t provides for the
nomination of three candidates for
state railway commissioners and In
connection herewith for an expression
of approval or disapproval of the con-
stitutional amendment for the creation
of a railway commission. II provides
further for naming a complete set of
state executive officers for which places
only four of the present state officers
are candidates for denomination.
What makes the convention of still
greater importance than even this ex-
traordinary list of nominees would
warrant is the issues that have been
raised and upon which the people are
taking sides. These issues are within
the state and closely follow the issues
with which the president and congress
have been graphing The railroad
rate legislation enacted at Washington
win have to be complemented with
legislation extending and applying the
principles to the regulation of rail-
roads within the state. The elimina-
ton of the demoralizing free pass In
interstate travel must be followed up
by its elimination for travel within
state lines. The curbing of trusts and
combinations operating In interstate
commerce must be REINFORCED with
restriction and repression Of their OPP
erstions within the state. The ques-
ton of equal taxation of railroad prop
erty with other property and the en-
forced collection of railroad taxes has
become acute in Nebraska and our
people insist that 1t be dealt with sum-
marily by the lawmakers and admin
istrative officers, who are to be elected
this fall.
The demand was never more wide
spread and pronounced for men for all
public Offices of character and RELIABLE
ity and freedom from corporation en-
tanglements. Nebraska republicans
are thoroughly alive to the situation
and they expect the convention to re-
spond in good faith in, choosing candi-
dates and pledging them to public pol
icies conforming to popular sentiment.

NEW INTERSTATE COMMERCE COM
MISSION

II the senate shall confirm the presi-
dents nominations the membership Of
the new Interstate Commerce commits
sion will be as follows:
Martin A. Knapp. chairman. New York.
Judson c. Clements, Georgia
Francis NJ. Cockrell. Missouri.
Charles A. Prouty, Vermont.
Franklin X. Lane, California.
Edward E. Clark, Iowa
James s. Harlan, Illinois.
The commission, for nearly a year,
has had only four working members,
since the confirmation OF Mr.. Lane, al
though he was nominated in 1905, was
still pending in the senate at the ad-
journment of the late session of con-
gress. and he has not acted on the COM
mission. The new rate law, while i'm
mensely increasing the powers of the
commission, also raised the salary of
its members from $500 to $4,000,
and provided for the two additional
commissioners, whom the president has
just named. The equipment of the
commission for the great duties which
will be devolved upon it under the
amended law Is thus materially In
creased, although even with increased
membership 1t will certainly be taxed
to the limit. at least during the next
few years, when so many great prob
lens will be pressed upon it for settle
ment.
The geographical distribution of rep
resentation is not all that could be
desired. New York and New England
have two commissioners, and the south
and the Pacific coast one each. while
the section represented by the three
adjoining states of Iowa, Illinois and
Missouri has three. The great trans
missouri empire, whose Industrial con-
ditions and transportation interests are
distinctive. has no direct representa-
ton. 1t is not a proportionate repre-.
sentation which gives to the whole
country west of the Missouri river but
one commissioner. and he residing Oh
the Pacific coast. while the sector
east,of the basing line of that river ha!
six commissioners, although in tim'
the yinequity may be corrected.

President Roosevelt's summing up
OF the late session of congress is one
that ought to give encouragement 20
even a hopeless pessimist. 1t shows
better than ever before the magnificent
results achieved during the session
that was notable for its earnestness of
purpose. its thoroughness Of considera-
ton and comprehensive analysis of all
the important matters brought before
1t for action. The presidents recon-
mendation of congress will doubtless
be fully understood by an appreciative
public.

in the interior OF the state are learning
more and more the importance OF
Omaha TO Nebraska. both in an indus
trial and commercial sense. The
necessity OF large market town and
jobbing center for the continued pros
perity OF great agricultural state
like Nebraska is too apparent TO need
any extensive argument in its support.
Any effort which looks to discrimins-
ton against Omaha and in favor of
towns located outside OF Nebraska is
not likely to become popular among
the Intelligent people Of this. great

Proper Objection to the Monument
Cleveland Plain Dealer.
The action of the Grand Army Of the
Republic In protesting against the erection
anywhere in the United States of a
statue OF Henry wirx was entirely proper
and sensible, At the close Of the REBELLION
this man Wirz was the only adherent Of
the ccnfederacy who was legally put to
death for his part In the war. He was
the commander at Andersonville prison.
The atrocities committed by him personally
and under his orders are almost beyond
belief. He was executed, not on charge
of treason but for tn prossic crime OF
murder. Wirx was q Swiss adventurer,
who came to America and enlisted in the
southern army. The government, perhaps
recognising the brutality OF the man as a
characteristic we'll fitting him for the
place, placed him In charge OF the starvs-
ton pen at Andersouville. His admins
tration must have been satisfactory. as
he was continued in command. The tales
of cruelty and murder which spread dur
ing and after the war could not have been
exaggerated, and wirz was given his Just
deserts.
The old soldiers. many Of whom suffered
under wirz. naturally object to the erec-
ton OF statue to this murderer any
where within the limits of the union which
they fought to preserve. The protest Is TO
be sent TO the commander of the confed-
crate veterans. II has never been stated
that the confederate veterans are back OF
the wirx monument proposition. AS far
as can be learned the ill-advised move
ment was set on foot by an organization
of women. It is no preposterous that II
viii probably never proceed beyond the
silly originators 1t is inconceivabie that
the brave men who upheld the southern
cause should countenance at this day any
post-mortem honor TO the alien criminal
who placed the blacklist stain on the con-
federacy.

to hail him as a gifted fnancier and bene-
factor. Those who lost will call him a

a big chance. If he wins he may deem
