ing you come down with passes and
bribes.
Take the initiative; do it now, and the
warm hand of the people of Nevada VIII
extend to the Octopus. You can put the
lobbyists and politicians in the old horse
department; you can dismiss high sal
aired inquisitors of the department for
>he manufacture of public detestation-
their occupation will be gone. You will
not be required to issue transportation
in the form of free passes to the enemies
Of the state-the pass bearer will be a
thing of the past. Your revenues will
increase and the property of Negtda and
it's people will increase with revenues.
Try it. This is a big country, not a
bridge between Ogden and Reno, as you
have been led to believe.
Another thing. Mr.. Hartman. TIL
people of Nevada are big hearted, far
minded and just. You have no need -
DE afraid of them. We know thar sl,ea
you look over your pass list and count
up the cost of ma las re a legislature
you may think that this IT not go. YOU
may think that the Peep e of this stata
are a pack of bride takers and sneaks.
But you have never had anything to
do with the real people; they don't take
passes nor brides. The only class you
know anything about is the class tha1
puts up the "cinch' bills and don't pay
their fares. These are not the peop,e of
Nevada; there are only a few of that
kind.
Get into the game. Investigate the
vantages of the state. Get acquainted
with the people; they know when they
are treated right and are quicker to APP
p~reciate good treatment than any other
people on earth.
Don't be afraid to take a chance in
Nevada; don't be afraid of the people.
Give us a rate on which we can do
business by enterprise and thrift; and.
Mr.. Hartman without waiting for the
pass bearers and the g~rafters around tho
capital who are cooking up the "cinch'
bills for an opportunity to be seen"
and without waiting for the politicians
and lobbyists to get in the swill, come to
the relief of Nevad yourself. get in on
the ground floor, and give us for a
THREE-CENT FAREl

1t is quite true. Mr.. Hartman. that
OCCASIONALLY good men get into the legis-
lature. Humboldt has furnished IN
stances of this as well as other counties.
but these men have Invariably heen met
and overcome by a tide of knaves wear
ing the collar Of the Southern i'ucihc
Company, and all efforts in behalf Of rea-
sonable fares and freights nave y en-
thus defeated by methods too well known
to need rehearsal here. But while the
will of the people has thus been thwarted
very few nave been deceived as to the
vile means employed. or m.sled by the
specious pretenses of the men used 20
do the work of shame. The company
by Its agents mas long been SOWING TIE
dragons teeth in this state. and cannot
hope to continue much longer practices
at once vicious and unlawful. Besi,s -.
Mr.. Hartman. 1t won't pay to try 1t;
1t won't pay, even if you should succeed.
for success along these lines can only
be temporary and cannot yield the sub
stantial results so necessary and import
ant for a concern of the magnitude of
the Southern Pacific. Neither has it
ever gained by extortion or discrimina-
ton in thi estate. No substantial gain
was ever made by choking the energies
of a free people, or by limiting the en-
terprise of a great state. Besides. sir, a
great change is at hand. Greater lights
than party politicians and matters of
greater moment than party politics are
engaging the minds of the really great
men of the nation. The elevation of
Roosevelt, Folk. La Toilette. Tillman.
Dunno and a host of others must prove
this, II IL proves anything. This class OF
men would have been obscured by a
of graft a few years ago.. and
could never have attained the eminent
and dominant positions in the words
and nations affairs they now occupy.
Is it not a mighty and most glorious
