Nebraska’s Thieving Legislature Sparks Editorial War
The Polk County Democrat reprints a Crete Democrat critique of Nebraska’s last legislature aimed at limiting newspaper credit to patrons who fail to pay. The piece argues the law targets editors, urges criminal action against the bill’s introducer, and compares pass system reform to broader political battles while defending publishers who bill only for correctly timely deliveries. It also questions editorial passes and urges papers to join a no passes advertising stance.
