Perhaps the heaviest future business

A TEST OF STRENGTH

road.

AT tho meeting OF the Legislature q
bill will be introduced regulating rail-
road charges within the state. The
necessity for such legislation, without
going into details, will be apparent from
tho following illustration:
1t costs SLIGO per hundred to shin
mining machinery from Chicago to
ii zen-a distance OF 1893 milee, and
S1.5S from Hazen to Goldtield-a dis
lance OF 22S miles, nearly ten times as
much. Similarly high rates apply TO
all other commodities. The quantity OF
freight moved over the roads in Nevada
ID MS great rs elsewhere, in fact Mt the
present time both passenger and freight
facilities are taxed to the utmost, Ne
vada being no longer merely u bridge
overland. While the operating expenses
may DO greater, which remains To be
proved, the traffic rates are entirely ont
OF proportion.
What justice The charges arc based
upon is uncomfortable, the only explanu-
tion being TINT Nevada IL helpless.
There were other numerous instances
where the railroad attempted to charge
all the traffic win bear, tut the people
directly concerned fought for their
rights md won.
We are struggling and at ra IL ing to

Gov-rnor sparks Recommendations.
Governor Sparks does not believe that
Nevada SHOULD permit the railroad com
paDies to rob her any longer without
resortinR TO retdIiatory measures, In
HIS message TO the Legislature yesterday,
he said:
Admitting that railroads are desir-
able and that NevadI has treated them
generously, the fact remains that in
several instances, our penple hay We had
cause for 0mpIaint. Terminal points
should be established in thus state for
the convenience OF business, the same rs
prevails III ull other states Of the union.
IL Ia hardly possible that you are pos.
seesed Of the power TO remedy this von-
dition. but the state has the power Of
valuation md IRsessment for taxation
purposes and the railroads hnve been
and are now paying, in comparison Ia
their actual value, less than my other
class Of property. We demand ter minaI
rates and IL the worst comes to worst,
regulatory measures upon these lines
may TO resorted 20, which will be regret.
abie and should DO avoided by the
managers Of the railways by yioldng, 10

The governor nlso took y shot mt the

WIS the only State in the Union in
which finish fights are allowed and
characterized the present law as worse
than II authorizing the cstablis hment
Of Il lottery. Prize fighting brings With
II II more undesirable element than my
other so.called sport, except bullhgbt.
