OPPOSING Will

ISLATOR WHO DOES So
Bulletin Issued by the Commercial
League Praises the Work of Those
Who Stood Firm.

I Inc folloWIng Bul1etln, lSSutd Dy
the Nevada Commercial league, is re-
leased for publication today:
Prior to Introducing an effective bill
to regulate railroads it was decided
to take no chances, but to ascertain
positively the comparative strength of
the people and the railroads.
For this purpose bill authorizing
a committee to subpoena and examine
public utility. corporations, a very in
nocent measure, similar to bills passed
| by various states, was introduced in
| the senate.
/ Whether or not the bill passed was
a matter Of no great Importance, it's
principal aim being to learf which Of
the legislators are in doubt.
This was admirably accomplished.
Considering it thrust against corpo-
rations, ten senators out of seventeen
quickly rallied to place themselves on
record against it, proving that rail
road relief measures are in danger !.
l. The bill referred to disclosed de-
plorable condition of affairs in the
upper house. Lobbyists made no Sc
cret of their hobnobbing with legisla
tors, decency was forgotten ard def
-anee was hurled at. TIE people.
We have plenty of patience and can
stand great deal, but when it comes
-tU a showdown our coats ore off in a
| iiffy and the fight is on to finish.
We are charitable enough to make
no accusations and to assume that
some of the ten voted according to
Their conyict;ons; nevertheless the lob
by was very much in evidence and
neither of the senators have advanced d
sufficiently valid reasons.
What are theys .N

mer of Eureka, Mr.. Campbell of Lin

on, Mr.. Woodbury. of Ormsby, all
honorable men, viii you give the peo-
pie square chances Will you tell MS
what is preventing you from voting
with the peoplei
Consider the assembly, without
dissenting voice. = 7@
Look at your associates-Bcll and
O'Kane of Humboldt Coryell and
Hunter of Elko; Oddie of Nye; Pyne
of Esmcrelda and Boyd Of Washoe-
they have remained true to their prin-
people and press of Nevada have a
long memory and they know how to
be grateful.
Will you be able to meet the gaze
of your constituents unflinchingly
The bill served its purpose. We can
see daylight, when it comes to the real
effective measure the press and the
counties directly concerned will not
tolerate their common interests being
sacrificed by. their own /. legislat tors;
an opportunity will be given them to
square themselves by voting right.
The win of the people is impregna-
Bile, like an angry ocean sweeping ev-
erything before it. Individual opin
ions or reasons of one or one hundred
Legislators must subserve themselves
to the will of the multitude; the pow
er of making laws was conferred up
on them by the people for the people,
not for their personal advantages.
There can be no excuse against vot-
ing for railroad relief measures except
corruption.
The press of Nevada stands ready
to champion the railroad relief mea
sures with all its might; 100000
pamphlets are ready for distribution
throughout the state; petitions are on
file from thousands of voters from ev-
cry county clamor ng for just relief
from the railroads; hundred men are
ready to hit the tra'l leading to every
nook and cArnar of Nox.a-la - l..:..ez
