FAIR PLAY FOR THE RAILROADS.

An interesting and rather astonish-
ing array of statistics is given by LO-
gan c. Mcpherson in a late number of
the North American Review. He
points out with a clearness that must
surprise all those citizens who are in
the habit OF blaming the railroads for
all their ills. that figures that will not
lie are saying lot of good things for
railway corporations. The United
States census. the reports of the Inter E
state Commerce Commission and the
records of the year book of the de-
partment OF agriculture. are placed
side by side for the purpose of telling
just what they really mean. Taking
the good American dollar as the unit
OF measure of value. IL is found.
among other things that the net re-
turns to the railroads OF this country
for the year 1905 (s616, S4l $50 were less
than one-third the net returns TO the
countrys manufactures. with nearly
the same total capitalization, and less
than one-fourth the net returns to the
farmers OF the nation.
If II is claimed that the low net return
TO the railroads is because OF their in
Hated capitalization, the reply is made
that the present total capitalize zion,
including all initiation. is only about
$4,000 a mile. far less than that Of the
roads OF any other country, as shown
by President Hadley Of Yale. President
Roosevelt and other authorities And
10 make its profits the railroads have
10 spend more money than either man
ufacturers or farmers. Truth telling
figures again show here that to get
one dollar back in net returns it costs
manufacturers 1862 of capital. farmers
1914 and railroads S2240
All deductions show that while the
administration OF the railroads is far
more economical than that Of either
manufactures or agriculture the re-
turns to capital are far less. and this
means that the prices for the railroads
lively lower than the prices for the
other products compared. Again, inter
state commerce commission figures
show the average railway rate per ton
per mile for 1905 10 have been a de-
crease OF SIS per cent over the ten
year period between 1890 and 1899.
That piraticaI speculatorS have
brought about an unreasoning pre-
judice against the railroads the writer
comedies, but he urges the necessity
for fair play if the nations general
health and prosperity are to be assur-
ed. and suggests the wisdom and good
sense Of readjusting popular impress
sions TO fit the facts that the figures
here quoted Enthusiastically demonstrate.

AMT 1T THE TRUTH

Those Californians oft regale

OF how each plant and animal
Grows best and biggest out in Cal
And if you venture a remark
About our splendid valley.
They answer with the same old bark.
We've better far in 'Callie.''
just anything you choose to name
Upon this globe terrestrial.
No matter what its size or fame,
It's been exceeded out in cal"
And when they leave this world Of woe
And reach old Nick's corral.
They'll say. "Oh. yes. it's hot | know.
But it's hotter back in cal"
But there's one product of our town
In which we are supreme:
They cannot dim the bright renown
OF Valley Pride Pasteurized Milk and
Cream.
And while of this there is no doubt,
1t is an even toss
Youu hear some Californian shout,
I've seen 1t beat in Los"

THE NEVADA LEGISLATURE.

1t is not at all likely that the Ne
vads Legislature will consent TO ask
for retention of the federal troops
at Goldfieid. Most of the legislators.
as well as most Of the county officers.

counties. owe their places to the sup
port of the Western Federation of

same reason it is unlikely that the

similar to that of this territory. par
ticularly il it should be left TO the
governor 10 make up the force.
But the failure of the legislature to
act might in itself constitute an emer-
sency which might warrant the
United States government in granting
the protection asked for by citizens
or Nevada. While under the consti-
tuition federal troops can not be sent
into state for the preservation Of
order without the request of the leg
islature, or Of the executive. when the
legislature can not be convened. if it
became evident that the legislature
by its inactivity were encouraging an
instruction against the officers OF the
state, o way would be- easily found
Tor the introduction Of the troops.
But on this theory. the troops al

legislature should request their indef-
mite stay. There has SO far been no
instruction nor sign Of any. But if
one should ensue after the departure

would perhaps be warranted in re-
turning the troops under article of
the constitution, on the request Of the

DANIEL MURDER cAsE.-The

A jury was secured the first day and

Judge Baker o: Phoenix is the chief

THE THAw 1NFLIcTIoN.

The worst is to befall. Evelyn Nes-
bit Thaw will tell her story again.
There had been a hope that some
other line of defense than the UNI
written law would be entered upon
in the trial which will begin next
Monday. 1t is safe, to believe however
that none of the counsel for Thav
will make use of "dementia Ameri
cana" or will coin an unfortunate eN-
preston anything like il.
The readers of the newspapers Of
the country may derive some COM
fort from the practice of never print
ing long story twice. So. nothing
stance will be inflicted upon them
again There is moreover no law
compelling them to read that much of
the unsavory case whose prominence
is due entirely TO the wealth Of the
defendant and not To his or his wife's
real Importance in this world of ours.
II is not very creditable to our civil
isation that SO much interest has been
taken in this disgraceful affair, yet it
has been discussed on the street. in
the office and even at the fireside and
in the pulpit under the pretext Of

No good was possible from the
great publicity given 10 the trial. The

Another thing which impressed Mr..
Mitchell was the amount of fine tim
Der which was floating around Phoe-
nix for such position and to do such
work as win be required in keeping
the park in good shape and assist
ing with numerous improvements
which are being made. The care of
the grounds is no small matter and
unless a man understands park gar
dening and horticulture he would be
apt to make a failure in the under
taking. Unfortunately for the appli-
cants there was only one job. SO many
competent men had TO be turned
down.
one of the most interesting letters
was received from a man who had
been employed by congressman and
had been well recommended to well
known l. s. senator. From the letter
the writer was evidently a man of
education and ability and considerable
experience. Mr. Mitchell had however.
already employed caretaker for the
park.

ball park with high tight board
fence has been Il good move. The

some miscreants. who have cut holes
for "look-ins' during the progress of
games Mr.. Mitchell says he is going
to make special effort to discover
the guilty party in such cases and see
that they are punished The company
has gone to considerable expense and
those guilty Of malicious mischief are
deserving of no show OF mercy.
