Art for the ArtIess

The rich Canadian would do better
for himself if he preferred the works
of the many talented Canadian artists.
The amount Of utter rubbish, attributed
70 famous painters, which has been
dumped on the Canadian buyer with
more dollars than ideas Is something
appalling.

\ COURT DECISION ON ASSESSMENT WORK.

An important and interesting decision was recently rendered by an
Arizona judge, who decided what amount of labor constitutes annual as
sessment' on unpatented mining claims in that territory, says the Mining
Review. A claim holder the plaintif) claimed to have worked upon
his two claims an average of eight hours a day for ffty-three days, be-
sides furnishing supplies and material; that during this time he had ac-
eompished in actual sinking in a Wine twelve to fourteen feet deep, six
by nine feet.
1t was contended by the defendant who was a relocator, that the
value of the labor S shown by the actual number of feet or work ac-
compished was not sufficient to meet the requirements of the statute,
upon the theory that this work could be contracted to be performed for
ten dollars to twelve dollars a foot.
The plaintiff on the other hand commended that. under the adverse
conditions, and for the reason that he was compelled to do all the work
he could not accomplish more than three to four inches a day,
and that, having actually worked ffy-three days and furnished the nee
essary supplies, he should be entitled to be allowed the value of his
work measured by the time he has actually employed in performing the
work together with the cost of the necessary supplies.
The court upon these facts, held that while the actual work accomp-
annual expenditure had been made to hold the claims it was not the
Dor to be performed, or Improvements made upon a claim during each
that, if one man working upon a mining claim labored a sufficient num-
Dor, to save the claim from forfeiture, he would be entitled to receive
performance; that any other construction of the statute would work a
assBtance-ths for the reason that it is a wen-known fact that two men
the amount of work that one man, working alone, can perform in the
same character of ground.
Upon these grounds the court decided the contention in favor of the
original locator, who had performed his work in good faith and to the
best of his ability.

MORE PHEASANT WORK now.

The election over, Nevadans may and should at once engage in a
more pleasant work-one in which every Nevadan may stand shoulder to
shoulder, and not take sides one against the other, as during the recent
political campaign. That work is securing recognition of Nevada from
e. H. Hartman and his railroads in the matter of traffic rates. If such
without dispute, then the interstate commerce commission must be made
to take hold of it. This body failing in relief for Nevada in the matter of
tariff rates, then the people of Nevada must stand together, and by in
junction and other legal procedure force It's rights.
AS the freight tariffs now stand, the published freight rates from
New York to San Francisco re seventy-fye (75c) per hundredweight.
The freight rate from New York to Reno, Nevada, is IN dollar and
forty-fve cents $145) per hundredweight
And San Francisco is nearly three hundred miles further from New
York than is Reno and that extra difference also includes the haul over
the Sierra Nevada mountains and the Coast Range mountains!
The Espee paper freight rates say that New York shipments to Reno
are taken over the Sierras to Sacramento, California, the nearest terminal
point to Reno, and thence hauled back, at local rates to Reno, from
which point they ire distributed. All of which is a lie on the part of the
Espee officials All shipments from the east to any point in Nevada for
which Reno Is the distributing point are dropped off at Sparks. They
are never hauled to Sacramento and then back. It is but eold-blooded,
absolute robbery on the part of the ranroad-robbery just as fragrant
Is that of the footpad and thug-robbery which if practced by a private
individual would send him behind the bars. 1T is ACQUIRING MONEY
UNDER FALSE PRETENSES, and the Bonanza here and now brings that
charge against the Southern Pacific company.
Reno should have terminal freight rates lower, from eastern points,
than the rates accorded San Francisco-should have a rate from New
York of, say 73 cents per hundredweight against the rate of rs cents
given San Francisco, Instead, Nevada is held up for $i45 per hundred
weight from New York, thus being robbed Of 70 cents o every hundred
pounds shipped to Nevada from New York, and corresponding sums on
all shipments from nearer points east or west. 1t is time for the people
of Nevada to take united action.

THE NEW NEVADA.

Pinch yourself Wake up. Within the next few months a flood tide
Of capital of unprecedented strength will have started toward the state of
Nevada, and which will ultimately mean the new Nevada. There is no
use being skepical " pessimisdc. Nevada, al a mining state, has the
greatest future of any similar are anywhere on the globe. In no other
part Of the globe can be found such vast and widespread deposits Of pre-
cious and useful metals-and the world is coming to know this. The
day Of the wildcatter is over in Nevada-not through any moral change
or decrease In the number of the wiIdcatter. hut because the Legitimate
mining interests of the state will not stand for him any more. The wild
cater hit Nevada harder than did the panic, although the full result
of his work mateTiaized ooinedentany with the money panic At about
the time of the panic people in many sections had begun to think that
Nevada mines we're principally worked in any state ave Nevada, and that
they were about the most general and gigantic sucker bait ever devised
Then came the panic-and the deluge. And the year which has ensued
has shown the world that Nevada, crippled Nevada, could continue pro.
opening new doors to the hidden wealth of the underworld. and paying
their own way, even without outside help. But it is slow work. The
surface could be but scratched. The east has watched all this. And 1t
learned, too, that whereas 1t believed at first that any kind of a hole
in the ground, anywhere in Nevada, should be a paying mine, the work
of digging for gold and silver and copper must be in the hands of experts
-or their money is thrown away. Hundreds Of thousands of outside
money has been sunk in shafts in Nevada-the shafts put down with the

EDITORIAL COMMENT.
INCREASING THE NATIONAL DEBT.

Whenever the Democratic party begins to recover its sanity, one of
its main affirmative policies will presumably be the return to the policy
of the entire extinction of the national debt. If it can SO completely
shake of the incubus of the wild-eyed "fnanciers" who have recently
dominated its councils as to couple that proposal with the proposition to
abandon the use of the public debt a S a basis for currency issues, the Re-
publican party will find it necessary to Immediately strengthen its de-
lenses, says the San Francisco Chronicle. The two propositions are in
separately Joined, for the strongest influence favoring the increase of ma
tonal debt, and especially the strongest in preventing its reduction, is
the influence of the national banks, whose number is increasing with our
Increase in population and wealth, and which are constantly in the mar
kt for United States bonds a a basis for currency issues.
The country is committed to the construction of the Panama canal
with borrowed money, and that can not now be prevented. Fifty millions
more of bonds arr about to be issued. There is no reason to expect that
may become SO. and sound finance would involve making the investment
IN incident of the public defense and charging it IS such, upon the war
and navy departments. That would not save any money, but it would
have avoided a precedent for mourning debt for an unproductive under
taking under the pretense that it was an outlay for the promotion of COM
merce. 1t is not always improper for a government to make pecuniarny
unproductve outEays outside the line of ordinary government functions
for promoting the commercial or general welfare of the nation, but it is
not sound policy to incur debt for such purposes. The interests of the
national defense probably justify the construction of the canal, but pru-
dent financing would require that we pay for it IS we go. The real
strength of this nation lies in its ability to make any necessary expendi-
ture for the national defense without mourning debts in time of peace.
so far as We create one we surrender some part of our greatest advantage
in the competition of nations
But, while we are committed to the issue of bonds for the construc-
tin of the canal, we III not committed to the policy of making those
bonds available as security for currency We cannot, without virtually
breaking faith with the public creditor, prevent the use of outstanding
issues for that purpose, because they have been sold at prices which
could not have been paid had they not been so available. What congress
can do is to issue no more bonds to be used as such security and so
modify the national bank laws a to provide for the issue of currency on
some other basis. Any political party which will undertake to educate the
public to al understanding that debt, and especially public debt, is the
worst possibly security for a circulating medium, and patiently endure the
will perform a great public service, and in the end would convert its op-
ponents or defeat them.

QUALITY NOT QUANTITY, COUNTS.

The Goldfeld Tribune is inclined to harp over the alleged fact that
there are SIS children attending school daily in Godfeld, IS compared
with 81 at Tonopah." But it does not mention the fact that Godfeld
move to Tonopah to give their children the benefit of the magnih-
cent equipment and high class teaching stan of the Tonopah high school,
acknowledged to be second to none in the state. Nor does the Tribune
mention the Tonopah public library, which would be a credit to any town,
and which affords the school children supplemental reading which brings
their school work up to a standard which Is most envfable. We rejoice in
every improvement Goldfeld makes, for first, last and all the time the Bo-
nanza stands for the upbundng of southern Nevada. But we do not like
the unseemhngly growing of the Tribune. No rooster should crow before
he is Matched.

President Roosevelt says the election of Taft is a triumph over the
forces of radhaism. In other words, it is a conservative yictory, and is 50
regarded in all the capitals of Europe and by the business men Of the
United States. The American people have grown tired of continuous
undertaking and historical attacks on capital and enterprise. While they
favor a firm enforcement of the laws against illegal combinations of
wealth, they are determined that property rights shall not be destroyed
and business paralyzed merely to serve political ends.

best of intentions, but without enough brain to overload a flea. The east
is coming to Nevada differently this time. It's coming to mine as mining
should be done. It's coming to work the mineral belt of this old state

eras of history. We AN see it coming, and it is up to everyone to help
it come. Quit knocking; run the wldcatter out of camp, and help the

TOBACCO INSURANCE.

Since the sale of the stored Burley
tobacco in Kentucky it is very prob
able that the dark tobacco planters
will be able to secure insurance with
less difficulty. AS soon as wet wealth
err comes and the Burley tobacco can
be moved it will all leave the state
and relieve tension that has been
very annoying to insurance compan-
les for two years. There was no
hurley tobacco grown in 1908 and
for year the companies will have
no tobacco business in that section.
The moral hazard appears to be daily
decreasing and in all probability
more confidence will be felt in the
