The Western Union. Meiis Fargo and
Pullman Car Company

The western Union, Weiis Fargo ard
Pullman Car Company I
The mouopolies who fatten OF Of
Nevada are the Western Union, Wells
Fargo and the Pullman company.
The service given by the Western
Union telegraph company is about
the worst any country ever saw.
The charges are exorbitant and
dispatch placed in their hands may
or may not reach its destination.
The Western Union is incomparably
bad and whenever they can hold up
and sand bag their patrons they never
fail.
Recently in Reno they raised the
price of stock messages to the patrons
who at once resorted to the telephone
and, are doing without the. telegraph
company.
The naughty Western Union at once
went down on their marrow bones
and begged the business back again.
The legislature should do somechin g
to make this bloated and ramshackle
corporation pay taxes in this state
on its actual income.
The Wells Fargo company is anoth-
er instance of a big corporation over
charging for its service. 1t has long
enjoyed a monopoly OF carrying small
| packages and at such rates that freq
than the actual cost of the goods.
Like the Western Union they pay
taxes on their Office furniture, etc., but
not on their business.
The Pullman Car Company gives Ne
lvada the cars which have been dis
carded on the coast. The charge:
they collect pay for the cost Of thu
car about every two years.
In addition to that they give thu
poorest kind of meal service at higl
prices and employ lot of colored ex
highwaymen who hold up the patron
Of the company for whatever loos
change they may have left.
The porters, however, are not spec
tally to blame as they get such stal
vation wages and they have to ro
somebody to keep their families.
These companies pay about ten pc

The Nevada Legislature proposes to
give the State Railroad Commission
power to make freight and passenger
rates.
But the railroads in Nevada, as IN
California, care little what powers are

WITH THE EDITORS


There comes a story from Muncie that
is hard to believe. In brief the story is
as follows: "a deer Enclosure has re-
gently heen constructed in the public
park. The fence about this pen is sup
ported by cement posts. Now it seems
that the maker of these posts is a man
possessed of the artistic temperament,
something that should be understood
and appreciated in Muncie. on these
posts he placed busts of celebrated men,
including Mckinley. the car of Russia,
King of England and L. H Stoner. Pa
renthetically il might be mentioned
that l. II. Stoner is the inventor and
maker OF the patent cement posts. AS
his posts had taken a prize at some
fair in Canada he naturally felt that he
ives entitled TO honorable mention
among the list of notables. And how
did artistic Muncie receive this effort to
beautify the city. The board OF public
works, men wanting IN artistic temper
ament. ordered the busts removed. The
busts were offensive 10 the hungry
souls that had never seen the light and
the board needed the demands OF the
ignorant In all the history of art
there is no appeal more pathetic than
the following. which the designer OF the
little cement busts puts UP:
But I guess I'm getting it in the
neck all around. I told the board of
works that If they did not like my
posts Id take them down, but they
said they liked them all right, except
for the statues and my name at the
entrance. I specified in my contract
that I was to place my name on the
posts To think that 1 should take q
prize in Canada at a county fair with
my posts and then in my own coun-
try that I should be roasted! I placed
the busts of King Edward and
Queen Victoria on the posts because
they had taken a premium on English
soil; that was all. lost $3.50 on that
Job anyway. But had always heard
that republics were ungrateful."
Here is an cutlery from the true
artist. That he lost money on the con-
tract shows that he is In art for arts

sake. But how about Muncie's reputa-
ton as an art center as a result of it's
lack of appreciation? There has been
fierce rivalry between Muncie and Rich
mond for some time and the balance of
the state has been at a loss where to
go for its real art. Both cities have had
their art exhibits, their art leagues and
their art work in the schools. The state
has been somewhat awed by claims of
the two cities. Many persons have be-
lieved Muncie to be the real thing in
the line of art centers. but since it
turned down the cute little busts born
of true art it is feared that Muncie must
rest her future claims for glory on
fruit jars.-Lafayette Journal.
