* - Facing Test Nebraska Leaguers Demand a ¥ Referendum on Primary HE members of the Non- partisan league in. Ne- braska are undergoing their first test. - The League is invok- ing the referendum on the “primary killin® law” passed by the last Nebraska legislature, which provides that all state -candidates, with' the exception of governor, shall be nominated under the old boss-rid- den convention system. To invoke the . referendum, the Leaguers must obtain 22,500 signa- tures to referendum petitions before July 18. C. A. Sorensen, attorney for the “ Nonpartisan league in Nebraska, is managing the referendum petition’ campaign, which, if successful, will enable the voters of the state to de- feat the reactionary measure in the 1920 election. That sufficient signatures to peti-' tions' will be obtained is conceded by the old guard Republican machine, .which passed the law, although the opposition is putting up a determined fight. : _Governor McKelvie, in a recent in- terview, declared that the people should first try the “primary killing law” before they invoked the referen- dum. When asked if he would have taken the same stand toward the League program laws recently upheld in the North Dakota referendum if he had lived in that state, however, he candidly admitted that he would have been fighting shoulder to shoul- der with the so-called Independent Voters’ association. To prevent treachery on the part of the old gang in Nebraska the Leaguers expect to obtain several thousand more signatures:than are really necessary. The Leaguers will take no chances on having hundreds of names thrown out on legal techni- calities. "The referendum campaign inau- gurated by the Nonpartisan league in Nebraska has made political history. Never have there been so many vol- unteer petition circulators. Over 600 busy farmers have sacrificed time and money to circulate petitions. They have ‘done this work for the cause of representative government. In every other referendum campaign .it has been customary to pay petition circu- lators 10 cents a name for signatures " of farmers and 5 cents for signatures of city men. The cost has been tre- mendous. . The Leaguers have gladly done the work without compensation. The Nebraska Leader, the League state paper, established June 14, has been effective in the primary referen- dum campaign. For two weeks the Nebraska Leader published the refer-" endum - petition blank, and hundreds of these have been returned to cam- ‘paign headquarters. S0 Thousands of progressives, not members of the League, also have been interested:in. the campaign to re- peal the “primary killing law.”.. They .realize that the action of the last Ne- braska legislature was only ‘ prelimi- nary to repealing the entire primary law; that the next legislature, unless controlled by the farmers, will com- plete the job. : EVERY PAGE WOMAN'’S PAGE ; Phillips Mont.

Thompson, secretary of the Public Ownership ) league, which gives my views with regard to the owner- ship of railroads.” Twenty-two or 23 years ago I introduced a bill in the United States senate providing for the ownership of railroads and the methods of taking them over. But in the meantime my yiews have changed somewhat on that subject. R. F. PETTIGREW. The letter to Mr. Thompson follows: I have received your letter asking me to help in the fight to keep the railroads. While I am in favor of public ownership of the railroads I am very much opposed to keep'nz them under the present arrangement. The railroads were taken over by this administration upon conditions that are little less than infamous. The government guarantees interest on all the securities outstanding and dividends on the stock as large as those earned by the roads the year be- fore the government took them over. The railroads have.been getting ready to sell out to the government for 10 years, and during the five or six years before the government took over the roads all the great lines were bonded for several times what they cost and for several times more than their physical value, their stock never rep- resenting any investment. The roads were built and paid for by the Ameri- can people, and therefore the Ameri- can people should take what belongs to them. This is not confiscation or robbery, simply restoration. Your proposition to send in peti- tions to the government to keep the railroads is a most futile and worth- less enterprise, for the reason that the government will keep or return the railroads, doing whatever the rail- roads want the government to do. If the railroads want the government to keep them, the government may keep them. If the railroads desire the gov- ernment to give them back, they will take them back. ; Your petition should not run to the government at Washington. Your petition should be presented, if you want the fun of getting up-a petition, to the real government, no longer in- visible, located in New York City. The heads of the great industrial and fi- nancial institutions have organized the United States Chamber of Com- merce. It is a corporation; they are all corporations; we are a government of, for and by the corporations. Our feudal lords - are artificial persons without human sympathy. Their at- torneys are in Washington in the house and senate; 76 senators out of 96 are lawyers; 310 out of 440 mem- bers of congress are lawyers. These lawyers -are ‘the attorneys for the great financial and' industrial com- binations_which are the real govern- ment of the United States, and, of course, you know how useless it wou'd be to appeal to the real government and how silly it is to present any- thing to their attorneys.
