licve the freight rates are what
concern US primarily in Lyman
and Stanley counties. Much at
tention is being given to the 2
cent flat passenger rate, but / be-
lieve this is of secondary impor-
tance to the inhabitants of Lyman
and Stanley counties, We not being
a people spending the bulk of our
time and money travelling on the
railroads. On freight rates how
ever l believe is where we want to
concentrate our attention. l be-
lieve that in the state generally
they are too high and l know that
west of the river they are unjust
and iniquitous.
The inhabitant of Lyman and
Stanley counties has to pay exor-
bitant freight charges on every
thing he buys from the grocer,
the hardwareman or the black
smith. He probably does not feel it
the same as when he has to dig up
the money for a ticket to ride on
the cars, but he~pays it just the
same. Any complaint to q mer-
chant in any of our towns anent
the price of any article is met
with the reply the freight rates
are SO high" 1t is not Jones but
the consumer that pays this
freight. If elected l pledge my
self to do my utmost to have the
freight rates, especially west of
the Missouri river, lowered to
where they ought to be.
am enthusiastically in favor of
having the county administration
run as economically as possible,
but not at the expense of retrograd-
ing or lessening the efficiency of
service rendered. BY that mean
l want the best possible service for
the least possible money, consist
ent with that service. The labor
er is worthy Of his hire in county
Office Or elsewhere provided al
ways, he does efficient work.
understand that the country
west of the Missouri river is en-
titled to an experimental farm or
station, the location of which is
left to the Board Of Regents. We
all want this located as near our
own door-yard as possible, but 1
believe that the people of Stanley
and Lyman counties are big en-
ough and unselfish enough to have
this station located as centrally as
possible. ! pledge myself if elect
ed to urge the establishment Of
this experimental farm at the
earliest possible moment.
In state affairs, as in county
affairs, believe in economy with
efficiency and if elected will earn
estly oppose any appropriation
that will add to the burden of the
taxpayer, unless these appropria-
tions are absolutely necessary for
the welfare Of the state.
