RHODES.

Rhodes, Feb. 3 About IS people
tended the dina social held by
Ladies' Aid society of Myers chul
at the home of Arnold Cheyney
Thursday evening. The evening
spent in music games and amt
ments. A Feb. 7.=.9hi iwas. .Uatted
tors are hot at an invitation to at
tend dinner planned to celebrate the
election of Representative Burton in
Foraker's place. The dinner is to be
given Burton by Ohio members of the
house, who invited the senators.
Foraker declined his invitation
promptly on the plea of another en-
gagement. Dick has made no formal
reply as yet but he has aired his feel
ings verbally. The house members de-
bated for some time over the ques-
tion of inviting senators. They finally
decided that not to do SO would be
construed as a slight and the invita-
tion, especially if accepted, would
show that the recent senatorial fight
left no hard feelings or factionalism
In Ohio.
The senators don't see it that way.
luty lOOh upOll lHe WUOl6 pTOC6eulnS
as an impudent effort to drag them
in public at the wheels of Burton's
triumph. Dick argues that if there
was to be any dinner giving, the func-
tiOn should have been an honor ex-
tended to Senator Foraker, now re-
firing from public life after two terms
as governor of Ohio and two terms
in the senate. The answer to that
is that the house members are wasting
no dinners on retiring statesmen who
can no longer look after their bills
and other matters in the senate. More
over some of them say that their con-
stituents wouldn't stand for their at
tending any dinner in honor of Sena-
tor Foraker.
Altogether there is a fine to do
about the whole business, especially
on Dicks part. Opposed as he was to
Burton's election he doesn't want to
offer his coming and more powerful
colleague an open slight at the outset
of their association and he doesn't
want to offend Foraker by going. He
is not so happy over Burton's cleo
ticn that he has any desire to help cell |
ebrate it but he wishes to stand well |
with the Ohio members of the house. |
in short Dick is on the anxious seat. |

CAPITAL CITY ITEMS

Columbus, Feb. 7.-According to
state house reports Governor Harmon
is much impressed with a charge made
by former Representative Edwin S.
Wertz, of Wayne county, that the
members of the board of managers of
the penitentiary are responsible for the
fact that the prisoners will be idle
when the Wertz law, abolishing con-
tract labor, goes into effect.
Wertz was emphatic when he blunt
ly told the governor that the board
of managers had neglected its duty
and had not obeyed the law.
Wertz's charges have so impressed
the governor that he is determined to
find out for himself before the legis-
lature recOnvenes the true state of
affairs, so as to be ready to offer sug-
gestions to the legislature. 1t is al
most certain that an investigation of
WertZ's charges will be made at once.
Prosecuting Attorney Liest, of Pick
away county, has written to the at
torney generals Office, advising that
the refunGers due the twenty-five sa-
loonkeepers voted out of the county

and that there is no money from
which these obligations can be can
celed.
The attorney general has advised
fcat the reimbursement should be
drawn against the general revenue
fund.

RULING

On Saturday, August %, 1909, the
railroad commission heard the Ease of
the railroad commission of Nevada VS..
the Tonopah & Goldfeld railroad.
A history of the case is given in
brief as follows:
The commissions attention was call
ed to the fact that the Tonopah &
Goldfield railroad was maintaining dis
erimatory rates OF clearinghouse pro
duets. fresh fruits, green vegetables,
potatoes, fresh meats and dressed
poultry and canned goods between
Goldfeld, Tonopah, Millers and Blair
Junction. Upon investigation of the
tariffs Of the company, it was found
that the rates named on the above

commission considered this diserimi
nation, as dealers were practically
forced to buy their goods at points
where the natural routing would be

routing be closed on account of exees,

Upon taking the matter mp with the
Tonopah & Goldfeld railroad people,
they Immediately cancelled the rates
in question, thus throwing these com
modities to a class rate basis. a much
higher rate, but leaving no question as
to discrimination.
The cancellation of these eommo-
dity rates was not satisfactory to the
commission, as they were considered
reasonable when left to an open rout
