Sitting as committee of the whole
Yesterday morning, the senate voted its
Willingness to pass Senator Hiler Hor-
tons Dill extending the tWo-tenths
mlH tax levy until an additional ST.
900,O0O to complete the new capitol
building is secured.
The Horton bill promises to pass the
upper house Of the legislature without
opposition. When the measure was
taken up in general orders Senator
Everett filed a mild protest, but de-
cIared, himself willing to vote to have
the building completed and furnished
at the earliest possible moment.
Senator Horton, as author Of the
Dill, explained to the senate the reasons
for granting this additional demand Of
the capitol commission, and i'll doing
so found occasion to remark that. While
he felt confident that the building.
would be completed in fifteen months,
ne at the same time refused to prom
Use anything definite.
No Longer Speculation.
He insisted that the work had reach
ed the stage where the building was no
longer a speculation, but a certaintv.
and, barring labor troubles or general
strikes, the task would be completed
III the estimated time.
senator Everett wanted something
IiIoie ueHllle imam De19f that the
capitol will be completed in fifteen
months. He declared that the legisla-
ture had voted first $200O,O0O for a
new capitol, then an extra 81 0OO 600
and is now asked to give still another
$l,5O0,00O. He admitted that the com
mission was handling the work in a
conservative manner, but wanted to
provide himself with arguments that
ne could use in explaining to his con-
s1tuents when asked why the new
appropriation had been voted.
The discussion closed with q nues-
ton by Senator c. A. johnson as to
the length of the life or the tax lew,
and the bill was then recommended to
pass.

They Will Ask an Increase
of12 1-2 Cents Per Ton,
Thinking 1t Better to Make
a Reasonable Demand and
Adhere to 1t Than to Ask
Too Much and Recede.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Jan. 23.-The
convention of the United Mine Workers
in executive session this afternoon
completed the consideration of the
wage scale and Secretary Wilson an
nCunced tonight that there would be
no more executive sessions. The Mine
Workers decided to demand an increase
in wages of 1215 cents per ton on a
run-of-mine basis and all coal to be
paid for on that basis. a differential
of cents between pick and machine
cCaI will be asked for.
The entire competitive district COM
posed of Ohio. Indiana. Illinois and the
Pittsburg district OF Pennsylvania is
governed by this scale. The present
run of-mine rate in Indiana IS 40 cents
and the increase, if granted, would
make the rate of wages 611b cents per
ton. In the Pittsburg district it would
be 65 cents. in Ohio 20 cents and in Illi-
nois 611a cents.
As to Laborers.
a demand will also be made for a
proportionate advance to the inside
and outside common Iaborers. The
minimum rate of wages in Indiana for
inside laborers is 1925 per day. The
will not be satisfactory to some. Some
of the demands were for nearly a so
per cent advance. making run f-mine
the basis for wages in all cases.
The run-of-mine is looked upon IA
vorably by some. In indiana some of
the mines pay on the run mine ba-
sis and some on the screened coal ba-
sis The present rate of wages for the
latter is so cents per ton.
It was said tonight that the desire of
the convention was to ask for a rea-
sonable increase and stand by it. There
will be no recession from this demand,
1t is said. 1t was the opinion of the
majority that it would be better to
make the demand which they expected
to enforce rather than to make de-
mand for a large increase and come
down.
Cooperation Discouraged.

Wilson, except that Of the latter ad-

ALL RIGHT.

Tonopah is all right. Speed the
good news along. Garry it to every
section of the State, to the remotest
corner Of the Nation, that the people
may know of its glory, partake of its
treasures, and .heir children and chill
dren's children through all ages aud
generations rise up and call its discov-
eier and its promoters blessed.
That is how the SENTINEL feels to-
ward Tonopah and its enterprising
people. even if it did repeat current
gossip about its refractory" ores and
the amounts being shipped to reduction
works. The SENTINEL would not willing
ydo Tonopah 40 injustice. 1t is glad to
learn from reliable sources Of the rich
ness of its ores and their seemingly in
exhaustible supply. The more and
the richer the better, not only for Tono'
pah, but for Eureka and almost every
section Of the State.
The SENTINEL is not narrow minded or
selfish. II understands the relations
OF parts to the whole. 1t knows that
the prosperity of the State depends
upon the prosperity of each part or
section. It knows that prosperity in
Tonopah means prosperity in Other
sections of the State. Tonopah has al
ready benefited Reno, Carson and every
town between Reno and the great
bonanza. Towns south of il and the
whole country even into California
have been largely benefited by the
work done in the mines and the capital
invested in them. That work has given
employment 10 hundreds of men, and
furnished a msrke. and good prices for
all the products Of the ranch. Beef,
mutton, pork, butter, eggs, -four. hay.
potatoes and every thing the farmer
has to sell have commanded prices that
made the ranch men happy.
And SO, Brother Durham, the SENTI-
Z thanks you for the information
given, and it and the people of Eureka
wish Tonopah q rapid and healthy
growth. and its people continued and
unbounded prosperity.

OBJECTS TO CRITICISM.

The august Assembly Of Utah does
not like to have its members criticised,
or compared to animals OF low grade
intelligence.
In speaking of its action the Salt Lake
Telegram said:
THE members from San Pete county might
change places with jack-rsbbits, and the Leg
stature would be strengthened by the pres
ence Of their substitutes"
The Assembly took umbrage at this
pleasantly and passed resolutions Sc
verely ~censuring the Telegram, and.
among other things, declared that its
remarks least serious reflections on the
intelligence and fitness Of the Legisla-
ture."
The lower house of the Utah Legis-
lature must be an exceedingly high
toned aud dignifed body, else it would
never have taken offense at remarks
evidently intended TO be complimentary
10 its members. Unless the members
mentioned have more intelligence than
average bucolic Solons, the iack'rsb-
bits are the individuals reflected upon
and the ones entitled to the sympathy.
not only OF the Legislature, but of all
fair minded people.
What have the poor rabbits ever done
that they should be compared to the
brainless. idiotic creatures whom God
for some inscrutable purpose permits
to be elected members of Ssgebrush
Legislatures? There are men in both
branches of almost every State Legis-
lature who have less brains and intelli-
gence than q mole, and it would be
gross fattery to compare them TO jack
rabbits. Some such men may have
broken into the Legislature of Nevada.
The Utah Assembly. in all fairness,
should apologize to the rabbits for the
gross insult deliberately, though per-
baps unconsciously, offered them.

sHEEPMEN AND cATTLEmEN.
Measure introduced fu the Assembly
lhai Causes Strife.

Measure Introduced II the Assembly
that Causes strife.
Every term OF the Legislature brings OF
the same old fight between the cattlemen
and sheepmen, says the Carson Appeal
OF February 1. In the Assembly a meas
ure had been introduced to prevent the
p~asturing of sheep within two miles OF a
ranch or residence. This is being fought
by the sheepmen, who claim that it is a
measure in favor of the cat,lemen. From
the snap vote taken in the Assembly, it
seems that the sheepmen will be downed.
In the Senate there is likely to be a
reverse order, as several members are in
terested in the sheep industry. When
the bill comes before that body there will
be a great hattie, as about as many cattle
men as sheepmen are represented.
The cattlemen claim that the sheepmen
are intrudiDg on the lands that
should 90 to the cattle for range, and the
sheepmen assert that the cattlemen want
the entire earth to range on. just how
the fight will come out is hard to say, but
the complexion of the Senate looks favor
able to the sheepmen.

m OF COMMERCE.

The Reno Chamber of Commerce has
issued q circular letter setting forth the
aims and purposes of the organization
and what it hopes to accomplish for
Washoe county and the State. Among
other things it says: 1.-THE Chamber of
Commerce was organized, not alone for
promoting the commercial and other
business interests of Washoe county,
but the State at large, and we shall at
all times do everything within our
power to advance and upbuild the in
terests of each community throughout
Nevada, and to that end we shall APP.
preciate any suggestion that may be
offered, from any source. and to exhibit
any commodities or products that may
be forwarded to the Chamber. which
can be done free of transportation
charges, uuder arrangements just made
with the Southern Pacific Railway
System"
The Chamber of Commerce is one of
the best institutions aver organized to
advance the business interests of the
State and every section thereof. 1t
should have the encouragement and
support Of every loyal citizen, of every
man who loves the State, who has its
interests at heart, and who wishes to
see its great mineral and agricultural
q developed, and It's rich lands,
its beautiful hills and valleys settled by
an intelligent, progressive and enter
prising people.
II is a mistake to suppose that it will
benefit Reno and Washoe county alone.
That is q narrow and disloyal view to
take of any enterprise. Whatever benz
greater or less extent benefit every
other section. Their interests are
reciprocal and may be advanced or
bindered by like causes. They are so
closely interviewer as to be almost in
separable.
Let mol local jealousy prevent any
citizen from aiding in the good work of
the Reno Chamber of Commerce. 1t
will gladly exhibit samples of the
products Of every section in every line
of industry in the State, and place them
where they may be seen by people
coming to and passing through aud
from the State on their way to Califor-
mia and other places.
1t may thus induce people to settle
among us and give us of their time,
labor, money and experience, and in
that way contribute to the prosperity
of our people and to the growth, devel-
opment and lasting welfare of the com
mon wealth.
Let every citizen and every news
paper in the State lend the Reno Cham
Der Of Commerce a helping hand and
push its good work along. That's
What the SENTINEL proposes TO do.
