has ever made for the suppression OF

GAIN BY WO-cENT FARE LAW

Union Pacific Receipts In Nebrnska
5000 Month Greater.
e, OMAHA. NEB.. October 27.-Instead
of the new 2-cent railroad fare law
having reduced the passenger receipts
In Nebraska, 1t has actually increased
the average income rate per mile In
this State, according to the report of
the Union Pacific Railroad. Just, filed
with the State Railway Commission.
The explanation is that there are
now no excursion rates, no commuta-
ttlon tickets or reduced fares or passes.
In fact, nothing less than a straight
2-cent fare ticket is now sold in Ne-
ibraska. The passenger receipts Of the
Union Pacific for four months of71907
were $4,000 per month greater than
the receipts for the same period OF
1906 under the rates previously charged.
