Excerpt from The Free Pass Bribery System: Showing How the Railroads, Through the Free Pass Bribery System, Procedure the Government Away From the People
The people of Nebraska and of the whole country are just now studying the railroad question. They are more interested in this subject than they have ever been before, and for obvious reasons. It is dawning upon the public that both in politics and business the railroads are the real masters of destiny. Instead of business enterprise succeeding or failing upon its merits, it succeeds or fails according to railroad will. Instead of honest and independent men being placed in positions of trust they are pulled down and the weak and pliant tools are placed in control of public affairs. Instead of public officials compelling railroads to obey the law, the railroads compel the public officials to serve them and betray the people.
