Nearly every person who subject to
attacks from the stomach suffers from
morbid dread of a dietetic treatment for
relief, that is three-fourths starvation,
and one-fourth toast and milk. On the
other hand you can eat as you please and
digest the food by the aid of good di-
gestant, thus giving the tired stomach
equally as much rest. Eat what you

new WAGON ROAD
FOR WALKER LAKE

Petitions are being circulated through
out the Mason and Coal Valleys, as we'll
as in the mining camps on the west side
of Walker Lake asking the board of
county commissioners of Esmeralda
county to construct a wagon road by the
way of Cottonwood Greek. A prelimi-
nary survey has already been made and
an estimate on the cost of the grading
as we'll, which is placed at so, 900,
While no action has yet been taken by
the board. majority of the members
have expressed themselves as favorable
to the project provided that half the
money for the work is raised by those
who will be directly benefited by the
construction of the wagon road.
Chairman Boerlin of the board of
county commissioners said: a wagon
road is badly needed 1t will be of inn
mense benefit to the ranchers of Mason
Valley as well as to the residents of the
mining camps that have sprung up all
around Mt. Grant. Very few of the res
idents of the Goldfeld mining district
know anything about the wonderful
Mason Valley and its agricultural posi-
bilities. 1t is one of the richest in the
entire country and all kinds of grain,
fruits and vegetables are raised there.
Heretofore there has been no market
for the products and as a result there
has been no incentive for the cultivation
of the land. i know every foot of the
ground over which new road will be
built. A good wagon road was built
through Coal Valley yeats ago to Lake
View, at the mouth of Cottonwood
Creek, the distance being about seven
miles. At point about two miles along
the proposed road there would have to
be considerable rock and dirt removed
From the new town of Lake View there
is good road to Dutchman and on
through to Hawthorne From what /
have seen / believe that several good
mining camps will be developed along
the west shore of Walker Lake. and per
sonally l am in favor of the building of
the road if it can be done at reasonable
outlay. = Goldheld Tribune.

although it says he is a good or

The showing made by the an
hual report of the Rock Island,
which has just been made public
must be extremely gratifying to
those in charge of that road. In
every department of earnings
and income there has been a con-
siderable increase over last year
amounting to nine million dollars
gross. or nearly Is per cent.
The Union Pacific made even
more, but that was expected, as
the Union Pacific has been pay
ing big dividends heretofore.
Its net receipts from operation
were three million dollars great
er than year ago.
The Rock Island net earnings
we're over l9 million dollars, an
increase of three millions over
last year, or nearly. nineteen per
cent increase. This was enough
to pay dividend of sos per cent
with a surplus of $4,6O0,O00 be-
sides compared with 81, 100000
last year. In other words the
Rock Island cared nearly II per
cent net during the past year.
These figures do not indicate
that the railroads are liable to go
bankrupt very soon under good
manag ment, even if the people
do have a two cent fare and little
lower freight rates. In speak
ing of the railroad legislation in
some of the states touched by
the Rock Island; president Win
chell says:
Doubtless large part of this
legislation has been due to mis-
conception of the actual condi-
tons. At every opportunity it
is the policy of the officers of
your company to endeavor to es-
tablish better relations with the
people of various states, and to
Impress upon them the fact that
the progress of the country ira
versed by your road. and con-
finued prosperity thereof, re-
tuires candid cooperation be-
Meade County news. [volume] (Meade, Kan.) 1900-1918, 1907-10-17

tween the railroads and the
other business interests. The
aim of all must be to promote the
welfare af the country, and it is
to be hoped that when the situa-
ton is thoroughly understood a
spirit of mutual cooperation will
be the result.
Which latter statement is pre-
cisely true. 1t is dou btful if the
two cent laws will interfere in
the least with the railroad earn
ings, for the people will travel
more at the lower rate. Cutting
the freight rate will, of course,
decrease the earnings from what
they would be without the lower
rate, but if the present increase
in business keeps up and there
are no signs of abatement out in
this country, the increase IN
traffic will more than make up
the decrease caused by lowering
any freight rates. The Rock
Islands increase this last year
was over two and half million
dollars, and that will cover a
large amount of freight reduc-
tons.
The Union Pacific report shows
net earnings of nearly IS million
dollars from operation alone,
after all operating expenses and
fixed charges were paid. Be-
sides that it received over II mil.
lion dollars from dividends on
stocks it owns in other roads.
1t is asserted that the Union
Pacific actually made 21A per
cent on it's 1872 million dollars oil
common stock.
AS President Winchell says
there must be a spirit of coop
Grafton and good will between
the railroads and the people

up over the new tax law lest the as
SCISSORS could go into bank and
find out how much money you have.
the following is published for infor-
nation on the subject:
Topeka Kansas, Oct. 14.-Mem-
bers of the state tax commission are
of the opinion that the alarm ex-
pressed by Kansas Bankers over the
new tax and assessment law is IN
founded. Numerous letters have
been received by Governor Hoch on
this subject and he has referred them
to the tax commission.
The bankers appear to have the
idea that the new law gives assessors
authority to go into the banks, at
will and examine the books to find
out the amounts to the credit of the
depositors. If this is true, they
claim it will drive hundreds of de-
deposits from the state. The tax
commission holds that under the
new law no assessor will have
authority to examine the &C
counts in the banks of the state.
In reply to one of the letters the
tax commission says:
"Dear Sir:-Your letter of the 7rd
inst. to Governor Hoch has beenre-
ferred to the tax commission for an
swer.
"The commission is of the opin-
ion that you are undoubtedly alarm
ed about the possible bad effects
upon banks of the tax law of 1907.
There is not the least reason why
any deposltor should withdraw his
moneys from a bank in so far as
taxation is concerned. Section RI
of the law reads:
mo tax commissioner. assessor,
or deputy assessor shall have the
power to compel the production
of the books of any bank or to ex-
anime the same; nor shall any Of
ficer of any bank be compel ID to
testify as to the contents of the re-
cords of such book or produce the
same for the purpose of examina-
ton in no matter relating to assess
ments or taxation
sit will be seen from this that no
taxing officer has authority to get
from bank any information what
ever concerning the business of the
depositors.
SIT is true that the law requires
assessed persons to return for taxa
ton their money in hand or on de-
post and also their credits, but the
law presumes that the owner of such
classes to property will himself lis
them. No owner of such property
can evade his just obligation to con-
tribute his share to the support of
the state government and the munic-
ipal subdivisions of which he is a
citizen without violating the law
1t will do him no good to deposit
his money outside the state or invest
it in foreign securities, as the law of
the state taxes his property just the
same and while the assessor can get
no information from the bank or
any of its officers, yet he can put
the assessed person under oath and
can also take the sworn testimony
of all persons other than bank Of
6cers who are supposed to have
knowledge of the subject.
"By order of the tax commission.
very truly yours,
"JOHN SMITH, Secretary.
