"IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE"

Lincoln, Neb.-"The people of the
United States are paying the owners of
railroad bonds and stocks nearly a bill
lion dollars year in interest and divi-
dends,' writes Editor Coffey, of the
Nebraska Federationist
Sometimes it is little more and
sometimes it is a little less, but each
year those who ride on the trains and
those who use the flour, shoes and tin
dippers that have been carried in freight
cars, pay this huge sum to the owners
of the American railroads.
"The courts hold that the owners of
railroad stock, legitimate and water,
must receive reasonable per cent on
the money invested in addition to fat
and Juicy salaries voted to themselves
by themselves.
"A man or a set of men who engage
in business must assume all the chances
with no reasonable per cent guaranteed
to them by the courts. Business re-
verses, grasshoppers, lack of money with
which to buy their wares-it makes no
difference-if he fails or they fail to
make both ends meet some other man
or men will try their luck
"'rhe farmer, he, too, must go it alone
without any guarantee of tat salary
and a dividend on his investment II
crop failure, drouth, chinch bugs, boil
weevi rust, lack of demand for his
crops, or too low price placed upon his
crops by the board of trade-well, there
is no court with a helping hand to say
that he is entitled to a reasonable per
cent on his investment.
But behold the laborer He who st
and does produce the larger per cef OF
all money which the courts SO kim, say
that owners of railroad stocks and
bonds must receive, he who produces
the larger amount of the money which
passes over the counter of the business
man and also that which reaches the
pockets of the farmer-why, bless your
soul, if he asks for a reasonable per
cent on his investment, meaning labor
force, he is an agitator crank, an in
teroper, an undesirable citizen, and in
stead OF being entitled to a reasonable
per cent on his investment is fit sub
jcct for restraint, and is enjoined from
conversation with his fellow-men-
speak to- look at or visit those whom he
would like to consider and call broth
ers"

STILL DOING BUSINESS.

Washington.-It will not be difficult
for the average reader to recall the
fact that the express companies have
made strenuous pleas before congress
sional committees and in the press of
the country that if the government es-
tablished a parcel post system it would
result in the conhscation of their prop
erty and that they would be compelled to
abandon the express business. In view
of that extraordinary claim the follow
ing is interesting
A 400 per cent increase in operating
income of nine interstate express COM
panies' during the fiscal year of 1916
over the fiscal year of 1913 was report
ed by the interstate commerce COM
mission. The figures were 10,560,000,
against $2,556OOO. A total of $175,000,-
600 was collected during the year as
express charges.

WOMEN MUNITION WORKERS.

Ottawa. Ont, Can.-Active work is

male wherever possible. Already nearly
800 women are engaged in the manu-

similar number are also in the plants

in making fuses. Men who have been
engaged ON that work will be released

that il the innovation proves successful,
as it is claimed it has, ii will not be long
before the same experiment will also be
made across the border.

Nothing is to be more deplored than
the fact that religion has been I'M jected
into this campaign. .H
First we read OF what the, Luthern
ministers have done, and then the Times
Star prints what a meeting Of Catholic
priests declared they want, which Bishop
Moeller Immediately repudiated
But the Guardians Of Liberty, an anti
Catholic organization, have printed what
they call pink ticket: ticket for
Americans TO vote and have endorsed
every candidate on the Republican Coun-
ty ticket except Martin DAILY What is
the reason! DAILY is as good as any
man on the ticket and at the last cleo
ton he led the city ticket for Council
man-at-large. That looks like his fei-
low citizens, irrespective of religion, had
confidence in his honesty and ability.
If that is the case what has DAILY done
since he was councilman to lose their
respect:
We know that there is a movement
Over-thc-Rhine to vote against DAILY on
account of him voting for the 35c gas
rate
If voter wants to show his displeas-
ure over the gas rate at this time he
should vote against the entire Rcpub-
lican ticket, as DAILY only carried out
the vote of the caucus of his party on
the gas question
Our judgment OF DAILY is made from
a union labor point of view, and on that
subject his record is excellent. He is
not only an employer of union labor, but
personal friend of the union men who
work under him and they will all tell
you that DAILY has gone as far or furth-

COOK OFFERS TO POISON
PANCH0 VILLA FOR $25 900

Ell PASO, Tex, April 1.-Two men as
sociated with Villa have made proposals
to Mexican officials to kill the bandit
leader for money in the last six weeks.
This information was given out today
by Andres G. Garcia. Carranza's Consul
General at El Paso. One of the men was
Villas cook; the other was an officer who
was member of the bandits personal es-
cort. Mr.. Garcia put the proposition up
to the high officials of the Carranza Cow
ernment. They turned it down.
VILLAS cook said Mr.. Garcia came
to lei Paso for his chief. He came to see
me and said that by poisoning the food he
served to villa he could not only kill Villa
but his entire staff.

kill Villa. and he replied: 4 have no
