NEBRASKA LAWS
HELP THE ROADS.
GOVERNOR SHELDON ON
RAILROAD LEGISLATION
Railroad Laws of Nebraska Which
We're Declared to Be Ruinous to
the Road Have Helped Both the
Roads and the State-Heavier
Travel and More Freight Than
Ever Before I'm the State.

Governor Sheldon of Nebraska, who
accompanied the Omaha excursion to
this city this morning, is not an ora
tor nor a ready public speaker, but
he has reputation at home for do
ing things that count. He is an
earnest and energetic advocate OF
railroad legislation and is enforcing
the recent railroad laws passed by
the Nebraska legislature with vigor
annd success. In brief interview
with the East Oregonian while in the
city today he said:
1--WE have found 1t to be a fact in
Nebraska that railroad regulation
and the passage of railroad laws by
legislatures do not check the build
ing of railroads or diminish their
business in any way.
"There has never been a time in
Nebraska when railroad regulation
was more successfully enforced nor
more rigidly guarded than now, and
there never has been a time when
railroad traffic was as heavy as at
present.
"The two-cent passenger fare law
of Nebraska was declared ruinous to
the railroads, but more people travel
in Nebraska today than ever before.
1--WE believe in Nebraska that rail-
roads have enjoyed profits on many
millions of dollars of watered stock
and that reduction of passenger
rates and freight rates is necessary
to bring the incomes of the roads
down to just business basis. The
people are willing for the companies
to make legitimate profits on legiti-
mate investments, but they are not
willing to pay dividends on capital
which ioes not exist In fact"
Governor Sheldon spoke highly OF
the reception Of himself and his par
ty at every point in the northwest
and he expressed the belief that thi.
tiip OF Omaha business men will
have the effect of bringing Oregon
and Nebraska closer together, not
only in a commercial way, but II
common sentiment on public ques
tions which are now being agitatet
In the nation.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1907-06-11

Salt Lake, June 11.-A sensational
feature of the controversy which has
been waged between the ministers of
the Evangelical church and the Nor
mon priesthood was the address deliv-
cred in the tabernacle today by Elder
Brigham H. Roberts, once excluded
from congress because of his polyga-
nous practices. He spoke in reply to
an open letter published by the min
cranky declared that the church had
surrendered not one iota of its belief
in the principle of polygamy, but
countenanced no polygamous mar
riages while they were forbidden by
law. OF himself he said {:
81 stand exactly where I did 10
years ago, namely, that though the
church proclaimed against the contin-
uation of this relationship, though the
state proclaimed against 1t, neither
the church nor the state may absolve
the moral obligations I am under, OIL
release me from that moral duty"
Mr.. Roberts characterized the Evan.
gelical ministers as belonging to q
third sex. neither male nor female
and said they were better qualified
for pink teas than craftsmanship. AL
of the high officials of the church
including President Smith, were pres
ent and tacitly indorsed the address
Of Mr.. Roberts as an utterance Of th'
church body.
