Dr.. Norwin Green, president OF the Western
Union Telegraph Company, has an eye to the
good OF the corporation he represents. He
was heard this morning by tho House Com

upon the part OF the Government In the direc-
ton of controlling tho telegraph, bur says IL
It Is determined to do so, 1t VIII DO
much better 10 purchase existing
lines. He thinks postal biography
NAV be established at all the postohices In tho
country for 800, 100000. II the Government
purchases lands Il can have monopoly OF the
business In any event tho Government should
mot contract with any one company to supply
postal telegraphy. However, should the bill
reported TO the Senate by Mr. Hill tOol) DO
passed, the Western Union will become bid
der for contract with the Government.

The AssessOrs' Bill.

The Carson Index, referring 10 the
decision of the Supreme Court. declar-
ing unconstitutional the act passed by
the Legislature at it, last = Ssion ex
tending the term of Office OF County
Assessor from two to four years, says
that only the section ofthe act length
ening the term of Office Is affected by
the deci ion, the section relating 10
the reduction of salaries remaining in
full force and effect. This. the Index
thinks, Will not be welcome news to
the canInlates for Assessors in the
several counties. IN White Pine The
shIry for the mkt two years will be
$500 a year. No m III can fill the
Office AMI do his duty for that sum-.
The Court that declared one section
Of the law unjust should have made
a clean sweep of it. Justice to the
incoming Assessors demanded this.
With a proper assessment White
Pine county would return a revenue
of $40, 900 a year. Now it is less than
$40, 1000. And why? Because the
rich evade the payment Of a fair rate
on property valuation. while the poor
pay on than their property
would bring. For several ears we
have tried tn remedy this evil, but
failed through influences the people
seemed unable to- overthrow. JUS
tice to all our people demands a rad
teal change in assessing the property
OF this county. Will We get it A
small remuneration for the man who
Is to do the work is a poor incentive.
The e Legislature should sweep
from the statute books every vestige
Of the corrupt work of their prede-
cessors, and give the Assessors fair
pay for honest work.
