PreamsrLe The Anti-Manopoly eague of Nebraska make the follow- ing declaration of principles: We view with great concern the consolidation of the grest railways lines of the country under the control of a few men who exeacise despotic powers, impose oppressive burdens upon us, and have in a measurs sub- verted our republican system -of ‘gov- ernment. Resolved, That tailways sr&putite highways and common carriers de- giving their existence from the state and therefore subject to regulation and control by the state. Resolved, That the provision of our state constitution requiring the taxa- tion of the property of corporations and their franchises shall bo rigidly enforced by suitable laws. Resolved, That railroad corporations shall be assecssed and taxed in the same manner as the property of mdividuals and private corporations. Resolved, That we demand the tax- ation of all public lands donated to railroads, and we oppuee the further grant of public lands to any corpora- tion for whatsoever purpose. Resolved, That we demand the en- actment of a law that will make the tender of a railroad pass or free trans- portation to any public officer a bribe punishable in the same manner as the tender of money or other articles of value. Resoboed, That we favor the en- actment of laws that will punish fraud, bribery or intimidation of voters at primary elections and political con- ventions in the same manner that is now provided by law for similar of- feuses ut general elections, Resolved, That we favor a thorough and speedy revision of the tanff. Resolved, That we condemn the em- ployment of convict labor outside of the prison walls in competition with the honest voluntary labor. Resolved, That we favor the re duction of the hours of labor on pub lic works to eight hours per day, Resolved, That the military should be subordinate to the eivil authority, and the employment o ti any loeality where the oivil has not been obstr 1 is ac ous invasion of civil liberty. Resolv.d, That we urge upon all citizens who desire to limit the pol- tical power of corporate monopolies to disregard party lines, if need be, and throw a solid vote against candi- dates who will not plédge thomselves to sustain the meazures and reforms we advocate, These resolutions were adopted after a very avimated debate, Mr. Pace called up his resolution directing the executive committee to call a state convention to nominate an anti-mon- opoly state ticket. His attention was called to the fact that the power was already vested by the constitution im the executive committee, After con- siderable sparring the resolution was definitely postponed. THE CONTRACT SYSTEM Mr. Walsh, of Douglas, offered a resolution declaring it to be the sense of this convention that the contract system for public works in state, county and city should be abolished and all such work done by day labor, He urged that the contract system provented the construction of sub- stantial public buildings, and was a source of corrupt practices that rob- bed the laboriug man and placed his earnings into the pockets of the con- tractors, Mr. Ingersoll, of Johnson, thought that much could be said on both sides of this question. It was a subject that demanded more thorough discus sion than could be given at such a late hour in the session of the convention |2:213, 2:21, 2:¢ OMATIA when everybody was anxious to get to the trains, Consideration of the subject was in- definitoly postponed.
