WHITE PINE COUNTY NEVADA WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 90 10
Special Correspondence.

Carson, Feb. 18. Senator Oddie o.
Nye county has introduced a railroad
regulation measure in the upper house
along different lines from the RAILROAD
commission biil.
A fare not more than five cents q
mile for passengers and 80 per cent OF
the "Western Classification" on freigh,
are the provisions of the Oddie bill.
The measure, however, provides that
railroads that have been established
under two years can charge seven cents
mile for passengers and higher rate
for freight. Packages shall not be ac-
cepted for less than thirty-fve cents,
according to the bill.
81 am not in favor of railroad COM
mission" asserted Senator Oddie today.
''There are many railroads in the south
ern part of the state which will need
every inducement to build although
they are projected now. The legis-
lature should not pass any measures
which will retard the growth of the
lines. They will develop many parts
of the country, they will give employ
ment to hundreds of men, and allow
many camys to ship ore which is now
inaccessible.
Senator Gallagher introduced a bill
requiring all Nevada corportions to
publish annual statements containing
summaries of their business during the
year.
Senator Oddie introduced bill re-
quiring all persons engaging in the
busines of assaying to first obtain Il
lcence from the Governor and Secrc-
tary of State.
In the Assembly, Mr.. Holmes intro
duced bill regulating the issuing of
licenses to practice medicine in the
state. Physicians applying for licenses
must pay a fee of $. 5 and average rs
per cent. in examination upon eighteen
branches of medicine.
