on both sides Of Shutagardan Pass.

GAsTON's RAILROAD BILL.

A synopsis of bill relating to fares
and freights on railroads operated
wholly or partly in the State of Nevada,
introduced in the Assembly by Speaker
CASTOR, was published in the SILVER
STATE last Friday. A clause of the bill
making it compulsory on railroad com
panies whose lines extend beyond the
limits of the State, to receive freight in
other States for points in Nevada, was
referred to as being imperative, as the
jurisdiction of the Nevada Legislature
does not extend to other States or Ter
rltories, but with this exception the bill
appeared to have been carefully drawn,
and as We learn from exchanges. it was
pronounced constitutional, by two emf.
nent lawyers of Storey county, to whom
it was submitted for criticism. Now
comes the Enterprise, however. which
at first objected only to the clause above
referred to, and by figures which in this
instance do not lie, shows that the bill
instead of reducing the rates on freight,
actually increases them. The bill pro-
vidas that the price per ton of 1900
pounds for freight of any kind shall not
exceed six cents per mile, aud that the
price for passengers fare shall DOT ex.
.eeed Fl We cents per mile. This. accord
ing to the figuring of the Enterprise,
would authorize the Central Pacific
Railroad Company to charge at the rate
OF 1913 per ton, or $3.50 per car load
between New York and San Francisco,
and to charge $l65 for first class pas
senger ticket from New YORK to San
Francisco, because the bill 10 express
language extends those rates beyond the
boundaries of the State.
1t is evident from this showing that
Mr.. Gaston's bill will have to be amend
ed In many material respects. The
Legislature should not attempt to fix
passenger and freight rates outside of
the State, as it Is painfully apparent
that it will require all the ability of
both Houses to regulate fares and
freights within the limits of the State
SO that they will be just to the railroad
companies and not oppressive on the
people. The great trouble appears to
be IN regulating rates according to the
distance over which freight has to be
transported. 1t is evident that freight
cannot be carried with profit to the
railroads between stations only a few
miles apart at the rate of six cents per
ion per mile, and it is also plain that
shippers cannot afford to pay that rate
for long distances. Five cents per
mile for passenger rates within the |
State Is less than is now charged, and
H the bill is amended by striking out
that clause extending its provisions be-
yonu the state, neither the Central
Pacific railroad company nor the people
who patronize it will have any great
cause for complaint. and it is not so
certain that the company can charge
This rate for through passage from New
York to San Francisco, as the rates in
States East of the Rocky mountains
aud in California are much less than
i've cents per mile. Members of the
Legislature should not get discouraged
because the CASTOR bill is faulty. The
Tbe defects may be remedied and law
regulating fares aud freights devised
which will not be unjust to the roads or
iheir patrons in Nevada.

rest. Scarcely a block between the

its open stores and piles Of mer-
chandise upon the sidewalks busy
clerks and sweating draymen, at
hours when ordinary citizens are
