Excerpt from The Free Pass Bribery System: Showing How the Railroads, Through the Free Pass Bribery System, Procedure the Government Away From the People
I am more convinced now than ever before that what I then said is absolutely true. While The Free Pass System is only an evil incident to the railroad question, vet I maintain that we cannot regulate railroads, nor make much head way in government ownership, until The Free Pass System is striken down. It bribes the otfi cials it bribes private citizens holding the passes. I have nothing to do, however, with in dividuals. I speak of them only in this volume as I am obliged to in order to show the operation of this vicious bribery system. It is The Free Pass Bribery System that I condemn and which I insist is the instrumentality used by the rail roads to procure control over the officials elected by the people and consequently control over the government.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book exposes the depths of corruption woven throughout the political and business landscape of Nebraska. The author, an anti-corruption crusader, claims that the railroads systematically bribe politicians with free passes to ensure favorable legislation, control over the government, extorting citizens through excessive freight rates, and evading taxes. The author argues that the insidious nature of the free pass system has led to the betrayal of the public trust, the suppression of representative government, and the enrichment of corporations at the expense of the people. The book delves into specific instances of railroad influence in politics, shedding light on the tactics employed to maintain their power. It also explores the broader historical context of corporate greed and political manipulation, connecting the events in Nebraska to a larger pattern of corruption that has plagued American society for centuries.Ultimately, the book serves as a call to action, urging citizens to rise up against the corrupting influence of corporate power and restore the integrity of their democratic institutions.
