The Journal has not answered our
questions about the railroad and
corporation capitalists VIII O are
writing articles for publication IN
that sheet yet, trying to answer THE
ARGUS on the tax question and fail
ing miserably through mistaklng
abuse and space-illing rot for argu-
ment and making the mistake of
thinking the people cannot tell the
difference.

In this issue will be found part Of
the land assessment for Reno dis.
tiict. The list is a long one as Reno
is one Of largest districts in the
county. We will try to complete
Reno next week. These figures
will probably bring on more trouble
between the ''Reno Farmer" CORE

Republican" JOB Lot gang Of the
Journal II the Journal and its
gang think they are ofsetting the
Reno farmers letters with the rot
and abuse they are publishing, they
should get out among the farmers
and taxpayers Of Reno and hear
some of,heir remarks on the subject.

1t is very sure that there will be
a strong effort at the coming session
10 bring up the bill of Representa-
tive Bourke Bockran providing for
publicity in connection with cam
paign contributions. 1t will be recol-
lected that the bill provided for the
registering with the country authori-
ties every campaign contribution
of over $50. Such a measure would
absolutely kill the practical black
mail levied on big corporations,
as was evidently done by the Re-
publican party last fall. 1t is stated
in good authority that while in the
campaign of 1896, the Republican
fund amounted to $4,000, 900 and
the Democratic to only 5000, 600,
the discrepancy last year was much
greater, and that much of the easy
money thus collected was used, of
course without the Presidents
knowledge, for purposes of bribery
and corruption. There was some
inclination to laugh at the Cochran
bill when it was introduced last ses-
sion, but developments since then
have made it very plain that il
would be wise measure to enact.
The trouble would be to get it en-
acted so long as the Republican par.
ty is in power.

The question of Chinese exclu-
sion came up at the very first meet
ing OF the Cabinet and Secretary
Root, the new head of the State
Department, asked Secretary Taft
to give the Cabinet the benefit of
his experiences in the Far East.
The Chinese boycott was one Of
the things Secretary Taft had been
specially commissioned to investi-
gate. He said that the law as II
stood was difficult if not impossible
of enforcement. 1t was a hardship
on the desirable class Of Chinese
merchants who wished in good faith
to visit this country and 1t was
equally hard on the consuls who
had the law Of visiting passports to
enforce. The President has already
sent a circular letter to the Consuls
and immigration inspectors at San
Francisco warning them to be as
lenient as possible in enforcing the
Law so as not 70 unnecessarily offend
the Chinese Government. Il is
possible that there will be an effort
at the coming session to change the
Law on the subj ect Of exclusion and
make il more in accordance with
wishes Of the Chinese Government
without entirely letting down the
bars. But the chances are that such
a measure would be talked TO death
for the whole Pacific coast will
arise against H.

The attitude of the stand patters
was well voiced by Representative
Dazelle Of Pennsylvania, in an in
terview in which he said that he was
as determined as ever that there
would be no tariff tinkering at the
coming session. He said that the
large majority by which President
Roosevelt was elected was not a
tribute to him personally but an in
dorsement by the people of the
whole policy of the Republican
party. He added that the deficit
showed signs" of being reduced
whatever that might mean and de.
clared that he and his Republican
colleagues were perfectly satisfied
with the situation. "What is the
USE" said he, "Of drawing cards
when you have a full hand ?" This
seems to be the attitude of the ma
jority leaders as a whole but it is
possible some of them will expert
ence a change of heart after the
meeting of Congress.

A husband has a right to keep a
rat trap in his trousers pockets &C
cording to ruling made by Police
Justice Rockford. The man who
did this was Joseph Schultz. He
was arrested on complaint of his
wife that her hand had been injured
by a rat trap when she went to take
money from her husbands pocket
when he was asleep. Justice Roch-
ford ruled that Schultz could keep a
rat trap IN every pocket to protect
his money if he desired to and dis.
charged the prisoner.

OF L legislators

The number Of bills introduce
Led is now well up in numbers.
Some of them, notably the re-
sub mission bill, have been put
to sleep for the term.
our correspo ndent was talk
ing to a leading citizen Of the
state the other day relative to
the resolutions introduced asking
the members of congress from
this state to do this and that on
certain measures, and the gen

seem that a mistake had been
made in not sending some of the
embryonic statesmen to Washing

under way will be 500 for every
acre irrigated. That has to be
paid back by the man who occu-
pies. the land. When it is known
that the cost per acre Of the ir-
rigatlon plant in the Modesto
and Turlock districts is $40 per
acre, the interest Of the land
holder looms largely. The Mod
este and Turlock plant was not
q government enterprise, and
economy and efficiency went to-
gether in it's construction. One
may easily see that it would be
a blessing to the future land
holders in the federal irrigation
districts if the burden per acre
could be as low. It may not make
any difference to Mr.. Maxwell,
who is not going to farm any of
that land, but will crafty his
agricultural heart BY farming
the farmers, but it does make a
great difference to a tiller Of the
soil whether the government
mortgage on his land is $40 an
acre or 500. He has to take the
risk of frost and wind and
weather, equip his land with
buildings, teams and imple-
ments, support his family and
pay off a mortgage Of $40 an acre
in q limited time. Farmers
read this who have undertaken
such jobs and they vince at tn e
lection. Senator Hans
brough seems to be accused Of
entertaining the malign purpose
OF making the mortgage as light
as possible. Whereupon the
National Irrigation association
is incensed and calls names and
is afraid!
That association in its corpo-
real form, which preceded it's
corporate form, as the abalone
precedes its shell, undertook for
a salary Of $50, 900 a year paid by
the western railroads to get ap-
preparations for irrigation direct
from the treasury. When Sena-
tor Hansbrough proposed to de-
rive the fund from the sale of
the public land the corporeal part
of the association fought lit.
Finding it would pass, the aba,
lone acquired its shell by moor
poration, in which form it claim
ed a caveat on all plans for irri-
cation. There is a suspicion
now that it desires to stop accre-
lions to the irrigation fund and
use a bungstarter on what is al,
ready in the barrel, in order to
make good its contract to get
direct appropriations. We shall
see.
