And now, by way of showing the amount
upon which. after these ten years of their pros
porous history the Virginia & Truckee railroad
Company actually pays taxes in this county,
let us have reference to the assessment roll
We are informed by that official document
that the said railroad company is assessed in
this county upon the sum total of 1928, 977,
making tax of $14,OS3 81. Thus the 'mil-
lion" that was ''in it" seems to have dwin-
died almost as rapidly and effectually as if
the promises of the company had been in
spired by a railroad visionary like unto the
immortal Colonel Mulberry Sellers!

THE VIRTUOUS INDIGNATION OF
THE "LOCAL" RAILROAD
AGAIN

In yesterdays Enterprise we find the fol-
lowing startling editorial;
The attorneys, agents and lobbyists of the
Central Pacific Railroad Company have in
vaded the Capital of this State in force. Their
purpose is either to defeat such legislation as
has been proposed for the regulation of the
transportation charges of that company in
this State, or inspire the enactment of some
imperative or unconstitutional law, and thus
bridge over another two years of merciless
discrimination against the people of Nevada
They come here armed with figures that are
false, with statements that are fictitious, and
with money to corrupt our legislators where
more honest argument fails. They boldly
enter the councils of people who have been
robbed by their principals for ten unbroken
years. and by the aid of sophistry and the
very gold of which we have been plundered,
are seeking to legalize continuation of the
commercial barbarisms to which we have been
subjected, or to Illustrate any and every at
tempt by the Legislature to correct the mon
strous injustice. If the railroad agents have
any explanations to make-any rational rea-
sons to give for the robbery of the people of
this State for the past ten years-in God s
name let them be heard but If they come,
as we more than suspect, with gold i'll their
corrupt the representatives of the people,
they are enemies alike of public peace and
morality, and should be arrested, either as vaga-
bonds having no reputable means of support,
or as lepers dangerous to the moral well-being
OF the Capital of the State during a session
of the Legislature. Whether not rellet
can be found in State legislation, remains to
be determined but the experiment must be
tried. and the corrupt use of money must not
prevent 1t
For every "agent and lobbyist" of the
Central Pacific Railroad who has Invaded
the Capital there are ten Lobbyists and agents
of the Virginia and Truckee and Eureka and
Palsade Railroad and their purpose is
to defeat such legislation as has been
proposed for the restraint Of their boundless
rapaclty. ''They come here armed with
figures that are false, with statements that
are fictitious, and with money to corrupt our
legislators where more earnest argument fails
They boldly enter the councils of people
who have been robbed hy their principals for
ten unbroken years, and by the aid of So
phistry and the very gold of which We have
been plundered, are seeking either to legailze
a continuance of the commercial barbarisms
to which we have so long been subjected, or
Illustrate any and every attempt by the Leg
slature to correct the monstrous injustice. I"
And they are as much more busy as they are
more numerous than the agents and lobbyists
of the Central Pacific Railroad. We do not
know where we have ever seen the situation
and practices of the lobby more forcibly e1-
hiblted than as in the foregoing by the Enter
prise

RAILROADERS TAMPERING WITH |
THE LEGISLATURE.

The Carson correspondent of the Reno
Gazette expresses the fear that no railroad
legislation will be perfected this winter and
says: "This result will be brought about
by the multiplicity of bills to be acted upon
and the Vaccinations of the railroad lobby,
whose tactics are to lock the wheels of legls-
islation rather than defeat the freight and fare
bill. The friends of the people are begin
ming to despair of affecting any decided re-
form in that direction this session. One OF
the strongest friends of the WOODBURY. bill
told the reporter that there was little or no
hope of its passing even the Assembly, and
that it was certain to be defeated or amended
to death in the Senate. There was, he said
a suspicious willingness among. members to
have long private talks with avowed railroad
lobbyists, and that these members were
always afraid after such conversations, of do
ing injustice to the railroads, 'crippling in
dustry, you know They want to
regulate fares and freights, but they
must be sure that the railroads will
not be wronged by any hasty or inconsder-
ate measure. They want to find out how it
will operate, but it is a curious fact that they
always 90 to the railroad men for their in
formation. The railroad men will strain
every nerve to prevent the freight and fare
bill from coming to final vote. There are
so many weak members who have sold their
constituents for mess of pottage and who
will vote for their masters when the pinch
comes that want themselves right on the
record, you know" This is one reason why
the railroad men will screen their allies if
the fact that they may want to use them
again"
