An Example for the State.

Fremont Tribune: The Union Pa
CifiC and Southern Pacific roads have
just decided to spend million and
quarter dollars for the purpose of ad-
vertising their own facilities and the
resources of the vast country covered
by their great railway system. Com
ing, as this announcement does, upon
the heels of another in which it was
reported seventy-five millions would
be expended in double.tracking this
great traps-continental line, the two
combine to give much interest con-
corning the future of the roads and
the country they Serve. It means a
year of great activity and of prosper.
ity for the people, for this kind Of
enterprise has a far-reaching effect.
Railroad managers know very well
what it means to develop the territory
they cover with their transportation
routes. They know 1t means increased
freight and passenger traffic. And so,
at one stroke, this corporation appro.
PIRATES a million and quarter to ad.
vertise the resources of its traffic
zone.
Here is an object lesson for the Ne
braska legislature. 1t has before it
measures providing appropriations OF
sums for state advertising of very
modest proportions compared with
what this one railway corporation
sets apart for the purpose. Yet
there is hesitancy and doubt on the
part of the legislature. Twenty thou
sand dollars looks to the peanut poli.
tician like colossal sum-one-six-
directors appropriates without bat
ting an eye. The state of Nebraska
is a gigantic affair and its legislators
ought to be Of approximate size.
