one-third of this enormous salary.
And it is now estimated that the ex-
posure in the insurance world has al.
ready resulted in a saving OF at least
81. 900. 900 a year. Why don't we find
out what this expense column is made
up of? Besides all this it must be re-
membered that San Francisco, which
gives a rate of l CEN per 1000 kill
less than the Reno rate, is in the same
boat that is Reno-in the hands Of a
corporation. In fact Reno is now in
the hands of a San Francisco corpora
ton, and that these cities aud towns
are not furnishing their people light
aud water at lesser rates is simply be-
cause like Reno they have control of
the municipal affairs and do not have
to furnish cheaper.
With the field before us. the people
reckoning on and holding up the hands
OF the City Council, why don't we try
municipal ownership as q remedy,
then if our light and water eau not be
furnished cheaper no man has a right
to raise his voice in protest.
Political Scraps to Begin.
In this city during the next 12 days
two State Committees representing
both the Silver and Democratic parties
will be in session. Possibly this means
the beginning of the making aud the
undoing of a United States Senator.
Nevada is not now lacking in the
nece ssary timber for candidates, since
the steady flow of wealth from the new
mines has made a number of million
aires. which is the only qualification
necessary for the admission to the
House of Obstruction, the United
States Senate. and this Notwithstanding
the fact that our fellow citizen, Charles
M. Schwab, whose home is in Pennsyl-
vania, has not mp to the present time
given his consent to his candidacy.
Watch the NeuoLands Performance.
Our own Reno candidate who now
holds the job. and who spends his
money in and on his San Francisco
holdings, is making a mighty effort to
kick up a dust even with the snow on
the ground and 30 keep the eyes OF his
enthusiastic constituents full of that
article while he deftly lodges the rate
bill aud thus serves his masters. OF
course you know he made a ringing
speech on the measure the other day,
and what he said was to ring in his
hobby-cure for all evils now existing
National Corporation" aud paved
the way for a graceful slide into the
railroad camp by Means OF the National
Cooperation route. Watch the perfor-
nance. With his connection with the
Sharon estate and the Palace Hotel in
Sau Francisco. which requires the
energy Of all the Hartman lines to
keep up the necessary travel of pass en-
gers in order to make that institution
pay its dividends, does any citizen OF

Senator Newlands is a supporter of the
rate bill in such shape as to be worth
to us the paper it is or will be written
on if it ever does run the gauntlet of
Newlands. Foraker, Aldrich, Platt,
German, Spoaner and the rest of the
Millionaire Club who are already
tabled and labeled as ours" When
Nevada gets relief from the discrimi-
mating freight rate it will not be by the
aid of Senator Newlands. As well ask
the waters of the Truckee to flow back
into Lake Tahoe.
VII Nevada Remain Shackisd
But the meetings of the two com.
mittees in this city have solely to do
with the candidacy of this California
Nevadan for q return to the position
which he has held during all these years
and never dreamed Of attempting a
remedy for the freight-ridden constitu-
EMS until under the leadership of our
matchless President he began to feel
the grip of the common people at his
throat, when he suddenly becomes the
inspiration Of a plan which is to hold
him in Office another term, If it does
not bring the necessary relief. Will
the voters at the next election return
Newlands to the United States Senate
or a man without bonds. a free man
whose hands are unshackied and who
will have the courage of his convictions
and represent the people? He needs no
millions if you will but support such a
man with your votes.
