The Credit System!

Such;agencies as Bradstreet's
and Dunn's are indispensable in
the commercial world. ALI busi-
ness men where large transac-
tions are involved need to have
commercial ratings in order that
bu mess may be done on safe
lines and with promptness. In
large towns where people are enot
we'll known, one or the other. the
retail merchants find it necessa-
ry for their own safety and pro-
lection, to have agencies OF like
nature to Bradstreet's to ascer-
tain and report the fiancial reli-
ability of their customers.
From our exchanges we gath
er that in some towns bad debt
collecting agencies have been es-
tablished. Their business is to
collect old accounts and if debt
ors fail to pay in a reasonable
time, they are published much
after the fashion that tax col
lectors advertis delinquent, with
: this difference, however, t h a t
the tax gatherer advertises prop
erty for sale to realize on the tax
es due, whereas the collecting
agency advertises the delinquent
in the newspapers and on the bul
letin boards, not to sell hisprop-
erty, for it is protected, if he has
any, by the homestead law, but
for the purpose of exposing him,
it being the only penalty he can
infict.
This mode ofprocedure is scaus-
ing considerable commotion in
some quarters among the unfor-
tunate debtors. 1t is q novel
plan, and it is difficult to tellhow
far it may reach. The man who
never intends to pay will not be
helped towards honesty by sucr
a policy, and is notgreatly injur.
ed in public estimation when he
is exposed.
But there are many good peo
pleas honest as day light-wht
. are poor financiers and who ge
behind and are forever unable tc
catch up. They want to pay, but
: see m doomed to permanent
bankruptcy. If q merciless credi
) tor. presses such a well-meanint
o but unfortunate man to the wal
i and publishes him as a fraud, h
( does a helpless but honest MAJ
D a great injury.
Some people-the shabby gen
teel-might, through pride NOR
a than honesty, pay to save repu
n tation, but the element',that ha
# entirely lost self-respect would b
= more completely hardened by es
n posure. This Advocate is q ster
0 believer in debt paying. 1t is

PAY CHECKS DID
NOT ARRIVE
EIGHTEEN MEN REFUSE TO TAKE
TRAINS OUT OF SPARES
All Checks Due On the Twenty frs,
Of January Held Until First Of
February.

AS result of an order recently pub
lished by the railroad company that
all pay checks would be delivered on
the LIST of February and not on the
21st Of January, following the usual
custom, trouble ensued at Sparks last
evening, and it was several hours be-
fore train crews for some Of the
trains could De gotten.
In fact it is said that because of
non payment of their wages eighteen
men at Sparks last night refused to
60 out, and that only passenger trains
were taken out of the western railroad
town between 6 O'Clock last evening
and 6 O'Clock this morning.
No trouble was experienced in the
local yards, although railroad men here
make bitter complaints regarding the
non-payment of wages Some assert
that they are considerably over one
month behind in wages and all state
that an order has recently been pub
lished stating that payment of wages
due on January 21st would not be
made until the LIST of February.

The speed at which the train was GO
ing caused the terrible jar that follow
ed. Passengers were thrown from their
seats half the length Of the car. The
majority of the accidents occurred n
the chair car, which was thrown over
on its side after being carried off the
track. The man who was killed had
been occupying a chair in this car.
Shortly before the accident he had
gone out to the vestibule between the
smoker and chair car to smoke, and
when the wreck occurred was caught
between these two cars anu his body
crushed beyond recognition. The. body
is at Elko, where coroner . inquest
will be held.
Extra No. 3O07, which picked up the
passengers from the wreck passed
through Winnemucca about 1890 this
morning. In every car there were in
jured passengers. Some with heads
swathed in bandages, and others with
limbs in slings. The larger part Of the
accidents were confined to broken
noses, gashed heads and sprained
limbs.

RECOMMENDAT. IL OF IMPORT
TO MINING INDUSTRY
Takes Fall Out Of Fighting Game
and Recommends That Present
Law Be Repealed

Admitting that railroads are desir-
able and that. Nevada has treated them
generously, the fact remains that in
several instances, our people have had
cause for complaint. Terminal points
should be established in this state for
he convenience of business, the same as
1t is hardly possible that you are pos
sessed of the power to remedy this con
dition, but the state has the power Of
valuation and assessment for taxation
purposes and the railroads have been
and are now paying, in comparison 20
their actual value, less than any other
class Of property We demand terminal
rates and if the worst comes to worst,
retaliatory measures upon these lines
may be resorted to, which will be re
gretable and should be avoided by the
managers Of the railways by yielding
to q reasonable request. '--Extraet
from Governor Sparks message, read
to the legislature today.
CARSON CITY, Jan. 22.-To forcs
the railroads to grant terminal facili-
ties to Nevada by us ng their power
ss board of assessment AMI valua-
tion on railroad properties, was the
startling recommendation Laae to the
legislature by Governor Sparks in his
M ssage, which was read before both
houses this morning The message
was in many ways the most radical
and foreeful eyer sent IN by any gov
ernor Of this state, and contained a
great many recommendations which, II
carried out, will be of tremendous com
mercial value to the people of this
state.
Some Of the most important recon-
mendations made by the governor was
that both houses petit on congress te
reopen the mint at Carson City foi
coinage purposes. He said in this re-
gard: "The production OF sae mines oi
Nevada is now sufficient TO supply thu
bullion for the operation Of the mint
profitably, and were i rcopened II
would be an incentive to promote the
erection OF smelters and reduction
works in the state.
Another recommendation of import
ance to the mining in. syry OF Ne
vada is that a state mnieralogist be
appointed to seient fcally examine ev-
cry mine and mining c.aim in this
state.
A banking and brokerage commits
sion is recommended by the governor
in his me ssage. Although the need
of such an officer has been felt in this
state for some time, this IL the first
time that any governor has ever rec
ommended the appointment.
Tn governor recommends that the
salaries of the appointive officers of
the state be raised. The increased
cost of living, he said, makes it hard
to get good employees for the m agre
salar cs offered by the state.
The governor reports that he dis
banded the state militia in May Of last
year. While he would like to see it
re established, he says, he would not
feel justified in recommending Its re-
cstabl' shment until there is more In

FAVORS INCREASE OF ASSESS
MENT IN MESSAGE

terest in the organization manifested
in this state.
To ELIMINATE Finish Fight
Perhaps the most senational and
unexpected portion Of the entire mes
sage was the passage in which the
governor took slap at the fighting
game. He referred to the fact that
Nevada is the only state in the Union
in which finish fights are allowed and
characterized the present law as worse
than one which would authorize the
establishment of a state lottery He
said that prize-fghting brings with it
a more undesirable element than any
other so-called sport, except bull fight
ing, and recommended the repeal of
the present law and the substitution
of a rigid law in it's stead.
Addresses Session.
In addition to the above message,
which was read to the members of
both houses in separate session, this
morning, the governor addressed tha
houses assembled in joint session in
the assembly hall at / O'Clock this
morning. He stated at that time that
he had not attempted to cover all the
subjects in his message, but that he
would transmit messages from time to
time as the occasion presented itself.
The feature of his speech was the re-
iteration that the Legislature take steps
to have the mint at Carson reopened
for coinage purposes He recommend
ed that the legislature take the matter
up with Senators Newlands and Nix
on and Congressman Van Duzer, If
you can find him.
First Gun In Fight
After listening to the governors :
dress, the joint session was dissovled
and the opening gun of the fight
against the railroads was fired in the
assembly hall with the introduction 1T
bill by Assemblyman Folsom to have
committee appointed, consisting of
one members from each county, to
have gener raj charge of all railroad leg
station. Speaker Skaggs took the
aoor in opposition to the measure:
contcnding that such a committee
would be too large to do efficient work
and the bill measure was defeated.
Goldfeld County Seat
The proceedings in the senate cham
b,r this morning indicate that before
the legislature shall have adjourned
.onight, Goldfeld will be the county
seat of Esmeralda county. A bill NOV
ing the county seat from Hawthorne to
Goldfeld was introduced by Senator
Pyne and went to the second reading.
It would have passed at the morning
session had not Senator Brossener Of
Eureka objected to the immediate pas
sage of the bill. At the noon recess
he xp.ained that he had no objection
to the measure and the bill will prob
ably be rushed through the senate this
afternoon and pass the house before
today session has adjourned.

the senate this afternoon is measure

Cotton Mills Curtailment

When the cotton mills of New Eng land curtail production without con- sulting the southern mills, without seeking cooperation on the part of the latter, the suspicion arises that they have something up their sleeve they do not care to mention. They have voted to reduce their production 20 per cent until March 1 in order, so they say, to relieve conditions in the cloth markets of New York. It Is not claimed that congestion of goods exists in New York or anywhere else, but such condition "is feared In the spring."
 This fear may simply spring from a desire to buy raw cotton at a lower rate. The foreign mills have bought cotton freely this season, but the American mills have not, and they propose perhaps to depress the price before they stock up. They are fully equal to market maneuver of that nature.
 The farmers can defeat the New England spinners by keeping back every possible bale until next spring. They have no expensive machinery to rust out-no big buildings to keep In repair-no hungry operatives threaten ing to go elsewhere. In the waiting game all advantages are on the side of the farmer, and he should give the New England spinners a lesson they would long remember.
