Forcing Publicity

The Milwaukee Daily News thinks
that the action of Mr.. Bryan and the
democratic committee in declaring for
publicity, before election, of the am
paign contributions will inevitably force
Mr.. Taft and Mr.. Sheldon to back down
from their present position of simple
compliance with the New York law,
which only requires publicity after cleo
ton. 1t continues:
Public sentiment has been greatly
scanadaliZed by the revelations of fraud
and corruption in which the republican
campaign fund has been involved.
Four years ago the American people
were assured by Theodore Roosevelt
that there was nothing discrcditablc in
the financial affairs of the republican
committee. The life insurance rcvcla
tions and the Hartman letter showed
that he was in error. and had been mis-
led by Cortclyou. This year, we suspect

By VIA, Authority, Mr.. coasidinei

According To the Goldtield Chronicle.
Chairman Considine of the democratic
state committee has taken it upon him
self to change the number of delegates
apportioned TO Esmeralda county by the
state committee. The committee APP
portioncd the delegates In the various
counties OH the basis of one delegate to
every fifty votes cast for Governor
| Sparks in 1906.
AS EsIneralda county cast 1861 votes
for Governor Sparks, it was given %
delegates in the call issued by the state
Esmeralda county claimed 10 additional
delegates. This was based on the in
crease of population mt Rawhide, Bo-
ward and other new camps, that have
sprung up since the last election.
The committee on credentials at the
Carson convention allowed Esmeralda
county twelve additional delegates,
which gave it 30 delegates in that con-
vention. Now, according To the Gold
field Chronicle, Mr.. Considine sends u
dispatch to the chairman of the ESIncr-
aida county democratic committee stat
ing that Esmeralda county would he
allowed the same number of delegates

The question naturally arises rs to
the right of Chairman ConSidinc or
anybody else to change the upportion-
mcnt of delegates rs made by the state
committee. If he has the right to
change it in county. he has the
right to change it in all.
The action of the Carson convention
is not binding on the TOnopah convcn-
ton. The seating of the twelve extra
delegates mt Carson WAS an injustice to

Petition For Terminal Races

The Nevada railroad commission yes
terday sent its petition to the interstate
commerce commission asking that full
terminal rates be made ut Reno. Win
nemucca and Elko, Nevada. The ON
mission asks that terminal rates he
established at all these places. hoping to
get a material reduction II some one of
them through the interstate commerce
commission.
The petition is a long and sets
forth the unjust discrimination against
the shippers of Nevada by the railroad.
Particularly the fact of the back-haul
charge on freight from the east. show
ing how freight from eastern points is
charged u much highe rate than freight

mcnto The petition was written by
Chairman Bartinc and sets forth the
case in his succinct. concise style. Per
hnps the most striking paragraph i'll the
petition and forming II part of the
original communication to the South
ern Pacific road here, is as follows:
1T is the best Judgment of this com
mission that your rates to the coast
terminals are fairly remunerative
despite the alleged water compaiton.
If this Judgment is sound it follows
ineXOrTihly that your rates to Reno are
high. The commission can see no Just
reason why freight charges to Reno
should be- higher than to Sacramento.
II hundred and fifty-fOur miles further,
on the same line, over an extraordinarily
heavy and expensive grade, and with
water competition ut Sacramento II

this water competition, however small
or even mythical it may. be in many
cases, seems to have affected the judg-
and decisions of the interstate
INNER commission we will not re-
quest your companies to accord full
terminal rates for Reno. The commits
sion does, however. request most
earnestly and with u firm conviction of
the justice of the request, that YOU
make the following reductions.
First, on carload lots from Colorado
points, Missouri river points and all
points east to Reno. twenty-five (aj) per
cent of the present commodity rates.
Second, OF less than carload lots,
twenty t20) per cent of the present COM
modify rates for the sam points.
Third, in all cases where the present
back haul charge is less than thirty (3O)
cents. reduce to actual terminal existing
rates.
Fourth, in all class rates now in
effect. reduce fifty 900 per cent of the |
present back haul charge.
The proposed reductions seem to the |
commission to be- moderate, conServa-
tive and reasonable. leaving to your
companies il good margin of profit and
at the same time comforting upon the
people of Reno and the territory
naturally tributary thereto IL very sub
stantial benefit which must. in the near

Nsyaaa's Mineral Crop

While other states are dependent on
their crops and the nation yearly awaits
the harvest and marketing from the
fields, Nevada has u crop that is sent
forth every day and week the year
around and depends neither on wind.
weather nor season. 1t is acrop that is
to be had for the taking.
Let mineral wealth reach u stage of
development where it is self-sustaining
and it yields n steady stream of dollars.
In this equable climate the production
of ore proceeds in winter rs well rs in
summer and there is no condition Of
weather that delays it for II moment.
A paying mine, whethcr. large or small,
is n constant producer of money, and it
furnishes constant employment TO wage
carriers in all seasons.
In that respect Nevada differs from
most other mining regions. It's con
ditions and climate are such that the
mines never have to shut down for
weather and the mines in time will he
such steady monetary income for the
state that one season will be the same
rs another and money will always be
plentiful.
Taking into consideration the further
fact that the mineral deposits are 50
numerous and are distributed oycr an
area that is IN empire in extent, the
ideal future of Nevada for investment
and business of all kinds can better be
apprrciated-Tonopah Sun.
