Sox May Secure FaIkenberg.

Detroit. June 24.-Probably on ac-
count of the desertion of Pitcher
Frank Smith, Comiskey is trying to
get a pitcher from the Washington
club. He wired to Manager Cantillon
asking him if he would put a price
on one of his pitchers. The Wash
ington club has more pitchers than
it knows what to do with, and 1t is
quite likely that Falkenberg will be
sold to the Chicago club If Comisk ey
wants him. Cantillon and his club
have left for the east but the deal
may be closed by wire from Boston.

Hearing Postponed.

The State Railroad Commission
recently cited the officers of the
Tonopah & Goldfield Railroad to
appear before them and show
cause why the passenger fare on
that road should not be reduced
from &c to SC per mile. The rep
resentatives of the road appeared
and stated that the regular re-
ports of its business for the year
ending June 80, 1908, are now
being made up and on that ac-
count the company would not be
prepared to make its showing
until the first day of September,
to which date the hearing was
adjourned.

he pitied the poor devils, his neighbors

hard times were on, money was awfully
slow in coming in, none in sight. He
had to have things. He wrote to his
old familiar friend, the Catalogue

them badly, rush the order, and h,
would remit soon. He received the
following answer: I'VE don't know

be what the Government would
demand. These suggestions are
merely offered as aids to the
Truckee-C Carson Farmers Associ-
alton in formulating their propo-
sition, for there is no doubt that
a report on the subject will be
handed in by the officials of the
service, and to insure the success
of the plan there should not be
too wide a difference of opinion.
The STANDARD believes that this is
the most important question that con-
fronts the homesteader and that the
Government can the more surely make
success of this irrigation project by
granting the farmers this graduated
scale. The lands have practically no
earning power for the first two or three
years. The money the ranchers have
now is simply working capital and to
take any Of it from him impairs his
ability to prepare his land for produc-
ton and sustain himself and family
while doing so. During the financial
panic banks all over the country, having
hundreds of thousands of dollars, closed
their doors and asked their depositors
to sign up and allow them topay out on
a pradu AIDED scale. When q bank has
to do this, can there be anything wrong
in poor farmer asking for the same
opportunity to exist.
The STANDARD will use its best en-
deavors to assist the Truckee-Carson
Farmers Association in obtaining this
graduated scale of payments.

The Non.Partisan Club.

The STANDARD has received couple
of communications from the leaders of
the non-partisan movement which will
not be published, for the reason that
they would take up too much space and
for the further reason that they are no
answer to anything that has been said
in this paper on the subject. Many Of
those who were at first inclined to take
part in the movement have recon-
sidered and are now opposed to it. Mr..
0sgood seems to be ''the last rose of
summer left blooming all alone" in the
"non-partisan" political garden, and on
that account we do not believe in vast
ing ammunition on dead game.
Mr.. Osgood seems to be concerned ss
to who is financing the SEMI-WEELY
STANDARD, when he should know that
the public cares nothing about 1t, SO
long as they receive the benefits of the
increased service. For Mr.. Osgood' 8
information, we will state that the
STANDARD will very likely be issued
daily in the near future.
And further, the STANDARD will al
ways be found on the side of any move
ment that has for its object the better
ment of the condition of the people of
Carson Sink, but the injection of poll
tics into the Truckee-Carson Farmers
Association, body that was organized
for purely economic purposes, will meet
with strenuous opposition from this
paper. As well inject religion into its
deliberations.
Mr.. Thomas Means knows the source
from which the sentiment emanated
that brought about the formation of
the Non-Partisan Club. He advised
against it. knowing it to be the person
al spitework of one man, and any one
can be enlightened on the subject who
will take the. time to interview him.

GRADUATED
SCALE Of
PAYMENTS
Truckee-Carson Farmers
Association Will Submit
Such a Proposition.
The Association Will Meet at
Court House Thurtday to
Formulate Plan.

Following out the plan of re-
duced payments suggested in
these columns some time ago, a
committee from the Truckee-
Carson Farmers Association
Saturday had an audience with
Mr.. Morris Bien, supervising en-
gineer in charge of legal matters
for the reclamation service, and
laid their plans before him. The
committee consisted of Messrs.
S. J. Rogers, A. D. Drumm, c.
G. Swingle, H. w. Marean, j. c.
Whipp, F. A. Nelson, c. M.
Beeghly, E. P. Osgood, F. H.
Sears, Chas. P. Whitney, E. w.
Burr, G. w. Black and Fleming
Mclean.
Mr.. Bien told the committee to
draw up their proposition in
writing and submit it to the de-
partment. What the farmers
want is a graduated scale of pay
ments, beginning low and in
creasing yearly, so that the bur-
den will be equalized in accor-
dance with the earning power of
the land. The law on the SUBJ
ject says that the payments shall
be made in not less than five nor
more than ten years, and it does
not call for equal payments. In
a ruling made by the Secretary
of the Interior, covering practi-
cally the same issue on the NAL
heur project, that official handed
down the opinion that gradual
ed scale of payments would be
acceptable and in compliance
with the law. On this ruling the
farmers of the Truckee project
base their hopes for success.
On the theory that no nation,
body or organization is greater
than its humblest citizen or men,
her the idea would seem to slp-
gest itself that the payments
should be made in accordance
with the ability of the poorest
claim-owner to pay. That would
be simple justice to all. But on
the second thought, would the
Government stand for it? Pro-
baby a broad general average
of the ability of all to pay would

EVILS or
COOPERATIVE
PURCHASES
A Subscriber Points Out the
Results of Buying From
Mail Order Houses.
Appeals to the Ranchers to
Paronize Home Merchants
and Build Up the Town.

The following communication,
which is of vital Importance to
the business interests of this
community, has been handed in
for publication by one of orr SUBJ
scribers:
A growing town means grow
ing county; a strong town, a
strong county. Look at a town
and you can tell what the sur
rounding country Is like, for the
town is a mirror reflexing the
country, its people and the re-
sourses around it. A poor town,
with merchants struggling for a
mere existence, shows a COM
munity without progress. land
without value, products withoutsa
market and a class of farmers
hopeless and retrograding.
These deductions are due to
the actions of certain individ-
ual who left Fallon recently and
went to Sacramento where he
attempted to buy an amount of
merchandise from wholesale
firms. claiming to represent a
number of families of Carson
Sink who thought they could do
better by not trading at the local
stores. He was refused the
goods. To justify his trip, he
purchased a long list of supplies
from retail stores, thus satisfying
himself and neighbors that their
money was not spent in the home
town.
The local merchant is a target
for every one who wants a favor.
Not day passes but someone is
soliciting a contribution for the
general good, small amount for
advertising the resources. a small
to fix up the road, a small amount
for this aid society, a small
amount for that church, a small
amount to attract the travel and
attention of the nearby towns
so as to create market for the
products of the rancher, a small
amount for this rancher whose
house has been burnt down, or
for that one who was injured by
accident; and he always responds.
A Montgomery Ward or Sears
Roebuck have never contributed
a cent of taxes of the county.
They have never helped to build
church or support a school.
They have never stood ready to
help a local charity, a man or a
family whom sickness and calam-
ity overwhelmed. They have
shared in your prosperity, but
not in your adversely. They never
think for you, or act for you, or
help you fight the battles of life;
but they will take your money.
Mr.. Carson Sinker, whose
thumb-worn catalogue of mail
order houses lies on top of the
forgotten family Bible, take a
dollar, mark it, put it over the
counter of your local merchant,
whether he deals in hardware,
iewely, clothing, groceries, har-
ness or any other commodity.
See how often that dollar comes
back to you. 1t circulated in the
community. All of us have a
chance to get it. Take another
dollar, mark it and send it to
Montgomery Ward. Wait and
watch. Next year you read in
the papers how prosperous the
Chicago merchants are and how
real estate is advancing in that
city and what magnificent pal
aces the merchant princes live
