A REDUCTION
IS BEING SOUGHT IN NEVADA
RAILROAD RATES
Nevada Commercial League Will Work
TO Secure Lower Rates for Nevada

D. s. Taggart, form erly the Southern
Pacific district passenger and freight
agent for Nevada, but now the secretary
ofthe Nevada Commercial League, spent
Yesterday in Fallon, working as a repre-
sentative of the commercial league.
Mr.. Taggart had the following to say;
81 am now on the other side of the
fence and am working with all my en-
ergy to get better freight rates for the
state OF Nevada, realizing in the fullest
sense the bearing freight rates have up
on the future commercial life of the
state. am using my knowledge OF
railroad affairs in the interests OF the
consumers of the state, and backed by
a good, strong constituency, we cannot
fal of success in securing a more equit-
able adjustment OF both freight and
passenger rates.
"For.instance, the distance from Chi
cago to Reno is practically the same as
it is to Boise City, Idaho, but the rail-
road freight rate for Reno is about thirty
three and half per cent higher than
the rate accorded Boise City. Spokane,
several hundred miles farther west, has
the same rate rs Boise City. There are
innumerable instances that one
might cite, but the palpable overcharges
on Nevada business are so well known
that it is not necessary to go to any
length to prove them.
"The particular thing which the
Nevada Commercial League seeks to do
above all other matters, is to secure a
reduction in these railroad rates, and
we are going to fight until we get them.
just place me on record as saying this,
will you please?
"There is no reason in the world why
Reno should not be jobbing center of
the size of Salt Lake City, but unless
.Ac busi3oas mcH Of Nevada look well to
their laurels, Salt Lake City and Los
Angeles will creep in and snatch the
whole southern trade from them, and
there won't be even bone left for Reno.
The Clark road is penetrating the
southern gold fields, giving Salt Lake
City direct communication with the
mining camps, and already the Salt
Lake houses have commenced system
attic campaign OF advertising calculated
to divert the southern traffic to the
Mormon city.
"The particular point which | want
emphasized is that the present agitation
is not in the nature OF a fight against
the Southern Pacific Company, but Is
rather movement, which seeks to en-
list the active support OF every business
man of the state, to the end that the
Southern Pacific Company may be
shown that it is as much to its interests
to give a satisfactory rate for the state
rs it is to the business interests, for the
development that would ensue as
matter of course would benefit the rail-
road company as well as the consumers
Of the state. Should Los Angeles and

Churchill's Assessed Valuation

The total assessed valuation OF
Churchill county for the year 1905, is
$2,O51 ,74S an increase over the total as

OF this sum the Southern Pacific pays
taxes on personal property to the
amount OF 81 ,225, ,2o9. lie total assess
ed value OF real estate is $4S1,7ll, and
Of personal property SIsa21,193.

FALLoN NEVADA, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER H. 1906

Salt Lake divert the traffic of the
southern and central portion OF the
state to their houses, the benefit would
be derived by the Clark road, in which
event the Southern Pacific must be a
loser along with the commercial inter-
ests of this portion OF Nevada.
1--WE hope to be able to raise fund
of 500 1000, which will be used entirely
i'll furthering the matter of securing
better freight rates, and | have seceived
very substantial support in Fallon.
Your town is certainly live wire.
In the event OF satisfactory rates
being secured, the entire state must feel
the effects of the good to be derived
from the decrease at once, and Reno,
as the states metropolis, will become
an important jobbing center, as with a
terminal rate, all leading business
houses of the coast will be forced to put
in branch houses in Reno in order to
compete with Salt Lake City"
"When your Chamber of Commerce
has become in good working order, it
would be a good thing for it and the
Nevada Commercial Leagne to JON
hands on matters such as the freight
rate adjustment. One OF the primary
objects of the Nevada Commercial
League, is to work in harmony with
commercial bodies throughout the state.
The present high passenger and
freight rates mitigate to no small degree
against your irrigation project and Of
course every person in Churchill county
has a a vital interest in the grand work
Of the Reclamation Department.
Suitable rates must be secured as COM
pared with the rates enjoyed 10y Idaho,
and other states in the northwest, or
the settlers will choose as their destin-
alton the other states, just SO long as
there is free land to be had there. They
can easily figure ont at the present time
better colonist rate to the northwest
states, while those who have stock and
household goods to ship can land them
in Ilaho for less than one-half of what it
would cost them to lay them down in
the Truckee-Carson project, SO it can be
easily seen to just What degree high
rates mitigate against the development
OF your project"
Mr.. Taggart is not working alone in
the interests of the Commercial league.
Since severing his connections with the
Southern Pacific Company, he has be-
come interested in various mertorous
mining enterprises and it is rumored
that he is representing the Guggenheims
in certain deals, although he did not
confirm this report. As a Southern
Pacific Company official, he was an
obliging gentleman, who made friends
daily. As the executive officer of the
Nevada Commercial League, he is doing
a great work, and should be seconded
by every citizen who has the interests
of the states welfare at heart.

Sincerely yours,
G. W. WooD.

Following the receipt OF this welcome
news, the Chamber OF Commerce ap.
pointed r. L. Douglass, Ed Schweikert
and W. W. Williams a committee on
arrangements to have matters pertain
ing to a grand celebration in hand, and
the gentlemen composing the committee
are bending every effort to get matters
in shape for rousing blowout.
1t is proposed to have the celebration
on Thanksgiving day, and already Go, .
ernor John Sparks has been asked to
act as orator OF the day, but his reply
has not been received. However, if the
governor finds it impossible to be with
the people Of Churchill county on
Thanksgiving day, then another
orator will be secured. Among the
features OF Railroad day will be a grand
barbecue, horse races, bronco busting
contests, foot races and all other attri-
butes of big celebration.
As is usual on such occasions a hand
some young lady, of whom there are
many in Fallon, will be selected by the
committee, whose duty it will be to
break bottle OF champagne over the
last rail laid, thus christening the road as
public utility and committing it to the
future development OF the county.
1t is proposed to run excursion trains
from Reno and other points in the state
and to get as large a crowd as possible
Railroad day will be used to attract
people to this section to view our irri-
CATION project and our manifold advant-
ages, and every loyal citizen believes
that the development that has ensued
in Churchill county in the last two years
will be a revelation to the entire state
The matter of celebrating the en-
trance OF the railroad into Fallon is one
in which every citizen OF the county
should take an interest and no effort
should he spared to make the day a
success. The driving Of the last spike
will mark new epoch for the county in
a commercial sense, and the day can be
very fittingly made day OF rejoicing.

the private ownership Of public
utilities. This foolish anu fuedal-
like principle of public exploitation
must surely meet the fate of its pre-
decessor which enslaved the people
of Europe for so many centuries.
The advent Of public ownership
means not only greater privileges for
the people, but it removes from the
field of politics those influences which
have ever contributed to the pollution
of our local governments.
Municipal ownership paves the way
for honest governments. This latter
result means lighter taxes and the
general peace and quietude of our
city life. Municipal ownership has
passed the theoretical period. We
have learned lately how to construct.
and as the public conscience is arous-
ed it will progress along healthy and
beneficial lines.

CHICAGO AND PUBLIC OWNER
SHIP

BY decision OF the United States
Supreme court the city of Chicago
obtains almost complete control of
the local traction situation. The
last legal barrier to the progress of
municipal ownership has been remov-
ed, and now it looks as it Mayor
Dunno and his friends will be able
to advance the cause with uninter-
rupted success
Next month the people Of Chicago
will vote on the mayors ordinance
providing for the ownership and
operation by the city of the street
car properties. The ordinance pro-
vides for the issuance of $4,000, 900
OF street railway certificates to be
used for the purchase and construc-
ton of complete system covering
TAO miles of railway.
This is one of the most enormous
municipal enterprises undertaken by
any city in America, and the students
and friends of public ownership are
watching the situation with hopeful
eyes.
d. 1t is being demonstrated that
Mayor Dunno is gradually and sue
cessfully removing the political OBJ
) stacles which would prevent an
economical and honest MANAGEMENT
of a municipality owned street rail-
. way system.
Municipal ownership can only
triumph under such auspices. The

Strong Showing Made BY Socialist,

Socialist Candidate for Mayor Of
Carlton loosss BY Ono Vote.
Election Review.

The immense Republican, majorities
In the territory surrounding Duluth
for the past twenty years have born
their fruit. In the village elections
OF last Tuesday the Socialist party
made surprising showing.
At Two Harbors a Socialist mayor
was elected. At Carlton the Socialists
lost by but one vote. At Hibbing II
votes were cast for the Socialist can
dldate for president. At Bull the Min
ers' union put ul a ticket. and 10 votes
were cast in it's favor:
The Miners union of Bull is affli-
ated with the Western Federation of
Miners. This was their first effort
In any direction. The members seem
to think that politics is more neces-
sary to their welfare than better
economic conditions. Until now no ef-
tect has been made for higher wages
or shorter hours of labor. Thus we
note the difference between the prac-
t1cal trade union and the politico-eco
MONO organization of the Industrial
workers.
Two Harbors Is composed largely
or members Of the great Railway
Brotherhoods. The new Socialist may
or IS G. G. Rothfus. He received 352
votes to PSI cast for his opponent,
A Socialist justice was also elected
at Two Harbors
At Hibbtng the Socialist condida t.
was G. F. Peterson, prominent
printer On the ranges, and editor of the
new labor journal, devoted to the well
rare OF the industrial workers of the
world.
The Carlton election was most in
terest1ng, and while the Socialist can
d1date for mayor was defeated by one
vote, the Socialist candidate for re-
corder succeeded in breaking seven
with his opponent
1t has been known for some time
past in Duluth labor circles that q
Socialist sentiment was developing
IN the country towns in our immediate
vicinity. Trade unionism has not been
able to make any Roadway on the
ranges, simply because the A. F, of l..
has had no international union Of
miners with which local could af-
nliate. The situation mas made known
10 labor leaders long ago by this
