Becomes q Law Without The
Governors Signature

Governor DickcrSDn has permitted
several Of the bills passed by the recent
legislature to become laws without his
signature. There are six Of these bills
which are Sub. ;. Il. b. which is
known Us the Code Bill and which WAS
the cause of a great fight i'll the Assem-
bly, during the session. II places in the
hands Of the Supreme Court the COM
piling and codificatiou of the laws Of
the state and gives them $lj,0 900 for
doing the work.
a. b. No. 22O. which relates to the
appointment to the City Attorney Of
the city of Reno by the city council is
another of the bills upon which the
Governor rcfraincd from expressing an
opinion and why the power of the
people should he taken from them and
placed within tho hands Of the City
Council is "A question that to the
majority of the people of the state will
always remain Il mystery.
y. Ii. GG. which is an act concerning
m act repeating an act concerning an
act for the appropriation for the State
Agricultural Association is in line with
the vctoing of a bill passed during the
session making IN appropriation for
the association.
$. Il. a., which WAS for the relief Of
Mrs. Nancy Sparks widow of the late
Governor Sparks is another Of the bills
| that became n law without the signature
of the Governor. This measure placed
the Governor in II rather peculiar posi-
ton as it is thought by many that the
law would not stand the investigation
of the courts if taken tp them. owing to
a position Of a law which states that 10
funds secured by taxation can BE- ap
propriatcd for personal benefits. II
gives Mrs. Sparks $lO.O 900. the salary
the Governor would have received had
he lived.
$. b. 90, is a relief mcasur for the
benefit of Sardis SumIucrficld of Reno
and allows the city Of Reno to pay him
u sum for labors performed. The sixth
bill to become Il bill without the Gov
errors signature in 4. Il. j relating to
the preservation of the fish and game
of the state and allows the Commission
crs to establish ana pay the salaries Of
game wardcns.

First Stage Coach TO Arrive in Tonopah

Eight years ago "Wednesday was the
day Of the arrival of the first stage
coach in Tonopah. 1t was drawn by
four horses driven by Frank Humphrey
Of Manhattan. Of the then stage firm
of E,scr and Humphrey. 1t required
two days to make the trip from Soda
Vile. stopping over night the first day
out mt Crow Springs. The passengers
were: II. s. Broughcr. Ed Kennedy Of
Virginia City, Bannock jim, Tu~scorOra,
w. w. Booth. DclHnar, the gambler.
and Billy the Painter. Il rowing artist.
The latter agreed to paint gold leaf
signs on the sides Of the coach for his

D R . 1909
SOME STARTLING FIGURES

The new edition of Poors Manual,
Just published, fixes the records of the
American railroad system at last year
high-water mark. The figures are stag
rerinr. There were eos, 1873 miles of
road in the United States on June 80,
1907, which was more than the mileage
of all Europe, over six times that OF any
single European country, and three
times that of the entire British Empire.
The America rail highways would
have girded the globe nearly ten times,
or stretched from the earth To the moon.
The new lines built in the single fiscal
wear 1907. amounting to 1872 miles, cx-
ceeded the total existing mileage Of
japan. The capitalization of the lines
had amounted 70 the dizzy aggregate of
SIS, SIS. 9SI,~ i37-about twenty times the
bonded national debt. If Adam had
lived until the present time and had be
gun saving money from the moment Of
creation he would have had TO save
about three hundred and fifty dollars an
hour ever since TO be in a position now
to buy out the American railroad sys-
tenn. Evidently the Office OF Secretary
OF the Treasury would be- no sinecure if
the government undertook 10 acquire
the railroads.
The total income Of the roads both
gross and net, in 1907, exceeded any
thing ever known before. The gross
earnings were : ,GG2, 75T,5O3. or about
three times the income Of the govern
ment, and twenty-six times the nominal
and four and a half times the actual
capital Of the Standard Oil Company.
That is to say, the earnings of the rail
roads would buy ont the entire capital
stock of Standard Oil in less than three
months. The net income of the roads
was 1851, 35i.Gsl-just about enough to
run the government Of the United States
for a year.
The figures help Us to understand why
the railroad managers last year so bit
teriy resented attempts to subject then
TO the regulation Of the state and ia
tional governments. They were doing
SO well as they were that they naturall!
objected to any interference. The ne
earnings per mile were 81, 700 in tn
year ending June 80, 1907, against 3,
$50 in 1900 and 50, 129in 1905, both boon
years; 81, GGsi in 1901, another boom year
and S2,272 in the very prosperous yea
1899. Net earnings per mile increased
steadily every year, without n singh
break, from 1895 to 1907 inclusive. TIL
figures for 1907 had never been match
ed before, and it may be a long time bt
fore they are matched again.-Collier

NOT REPUBLICAN DOCTRINE

The Salt Lake Telegram says that q
tariff of 10 cents n pound on coffee, 20
cents a gallon added to the internal
revenue of whisky, and a proper duty
on Oriental rugs and famous paintings,
both real and bogus. and on automobiles
would wipe out the deficit in less than
no time. II adds;
Levy taxation where it belongs.
The rich, when they buy luxurics that
they can get just as good III this coun-
try, ought to pay the same proportion
because they take the labor away from
Americans and give it to the foreign
workmen. This is crime which ought
TO be punished by a fine. aud that fine
should come in increasing the duty"

Can You Pronounce Hawaii"

Hawaii has been long enough u part
of the United States - b. pronounced
properly by every American. and yet
few on the mainland seem to hc sure Of
themselves when they have occasion to
use the naInc of our one insular Terri
tory. Probably about the worst result
WAS attained by a prominent member Of
Congress, who recently in course of
debate on the floor Of the House referred
\ number of times 10 ''liay-waw-waw."
The letter \ in Hawaiian is always
given the Roman sound. as in ''ah.'
while u, always has the sound Of ''r. =.
Hawaii is pronounced therefore nearly
''liah-wy-cr.' with acccnt on the mid
die syllable, or 'Hah.vy.cc," some
authorities holding that Wv" shuuld
always take the sound Of ''v". The
letter 90 always has the sound a. in
the word mo" and the pronunciation
Of the narnc of the capital city of the
Tcrritrry is Hon .lu.lu,' and not
'~Ilon.O-lu-lu." a. generally spoken by

DOES THE PAYNE BILL GIVE
RELIEF?

The Chicago Tribune has always been
u stalwart Of the stalwarts in Republi.

branded republican. therefore has had
its full Endorsement. Tho editors must
have been away OH last Sunday or else
they nave seen the light, for In tina:
great sheet Oh Sunday appeared the
following editorial:
Such concessions to the consumer as
tho committee OH ways and means has
made by lowering the duty on hydratc
of alumnia or putting licoricc on the
free list do not atone for the outrage
perpetratcd on consumers by raising
the already high duties on stockings.

tee on ways and means should have
tried to do something. II has added to
